The following telegram was this day
received from the adjutant general OF
the army:
Between now and Dec Is, it is de-
sired to afford men who have registered
under the conscription law as wide an
opportunity as possible to enlist in the
army. Therefore, any person who IS
registered, even though he has been ca l.
led by a local board TO report for ply :
ical examination. may enlist until Dee
Is. upon presentation to the recruiting
officer of certificate from his local
board that he viii not be needed to fill

cordingly Voluntary enlistments of all
reEistrants. or in other words the vol
untary enlistment of all persons within
the draft ge who have registered under
the Consumption law, are prohibited from

This means that every applicant within

DRAF TED
MEN Gan
CHOOSE

ANY man between the ages OF Is and
40, regardless il he has been called or
even examined by an exemption board
can volunteer.
This is the latest order from the
war department
All over the country recruiting sta
tions are doing a land-office business
as the result Of the new proffer. Many
men who waited too long and we're
caught by the draft can now enlist.
Midnight. December Il. this unex-
pected offer will cease and recruiting
stations Will close their doors on the
man between II and 81.
VOLUNTEERING An ADVANTAGE.
In volunteering a man can pick his
branch of service. and there is not an
occupation in the outside world that
Uncle sam cannot utilize. All branches
of the service, both combatant and
non combatant, are open for recruits
Ten thousand mechanics are urgently
needed for the aviation section Of the
signal corps. Five Thousand men are
wanted for the medical depa rtment
which requires no previous experience
The only branch of the army filed is

estimated that poison Ivy costs the cit

In all cases of such offending vacant

Theatre Ventilation.
All theatres in East Chicago we're ex-
amined in the spring Of 1916. No thea
ire in operation at that time or under
construction was equipped with ventiI-
atins systems changing air more than
three time an hour and then only in
certain parts Of the house. There is very
little argument for fresh air in the
home If it Is not required 20 be furn-
ished in public places by the city or
dinance and statute. Politics play too
important a part in ordinances affect
ing certain classes. The department OF
health is harrased and hampered in en-
forcement of general health rules on
ventilation. In order to make these
necessary for the city council to pass
a theatre ventilation ordinance along
lines Of those in force in up-to-date
cities of our class
Summary.
The board of health has the matter
OF housing under consideration and is
arranging a diagram for correction. We
are going TO meet with the state board
of heath in the near future and togeth-
er find ways and means to successfully
cope with a problem which temporary
measures are bound TO aggravate and
which would not permanently solve the
problem. The question of housing in
East Chicago is one of greatest import
ance to the city not alone from a
standpoint of public health but also
from interests of business men in the
city.
From information received from the
industries we find there are approximate
~ $4,000 men employed in the mills and
factories and about goo of these live
in our city and 5000 are distributed
principally in the cities of Hammond
and Chicago. The majority OF the office
help and some superintendent live out
side If East Chicago. When - per cent
of the workmen Of our industries live
elsewhere there Is something radically
wrong. It can easily be seen that it is
a deeper question than would appear on
the surface and to solve tt Will require
good sound consideration and policy that
Will make ours a healthy, economical
city to live In and in which to raise a
family. Such measures if carried out
would easily make US a city OF the sec
ond class. \ clean city Is not neces-
sarily a healthy city, but a healthy city

in the past appealed to the Chamber of
Commerce for their support of public
health measures and we are glad TO have
your assistance in backing UP measures
that we may present in the. near fu-
ture."
