listed American workingmen yesterday

button to the organization which ex-

gineers, United States Army.
Long before the recruiting office at
1870 Sixth Avenue was opened, at $3.50
yesterday morning. a line Of impatient,
eager Young men stretched from Four
teenth to Thirteenth Street, and when
the doors were swung the rush was so
great that policemen were called.
Recruiting officers, headed by Cap
tain Hogan, estimated that between 500
and 500 men applied yesterday; about
300 Of these ultimately will be accept
ed Too many were young college grad
yates, he declared Lieutenant Colonel
McKinstry, who is to command the new
regiment, wants men who have had
years Of experience in structural or
railroad work, or who can swing pick
all day without suffering blistered
hands.
Theorists Not Wanted
I'VE don't want theorists and tech
meal men," he said. 1--WE want the
fellows who execute the plans made by
technical men, and we are getting
them"
Several union leaders came TO the re-
cruiting office TO offer their services in
stimulating interest They were highly
pleased when told that men who were
enlisted would not be called away from
their Jobs until the regiment was ready
to take the field.
A high percentage of the men passed
by Captain Hogan were afterward APP
proved by the examining surgeons.
They were of unusually strong ply
sique and in splendid condition be
cause OF their outdoor lives. Many
hard rock" men were among them, as
were several locomotive engineers, who
were eager to give up their $500 a
month jobs for the soldiers SD.
We need cooks and few stenog-
fapherS, as WGll as track layers anu

who will command one battalion. I'VE

Household Handy Package
Made by the Carborundum Company. Inc.
Niagara Falls, and 26 West Broadway, New
York CITY

A sheet of sandpaper is an uncommonly
handy thing to have about the house. The
hardness is multiplied by twelve when, in
stead of a sheet, there is tucked away some
where package of twelve sheets of different
degrees from a fairly coarse abrasive surface
to the finest grade of sandpaper.
We say sandpaper because that is the ia
miar name of a familiar article, but techni-
cally this package holds twelve sheets of
abrasive paper and cloths of assorted grits."
These are coarse, fine and medium, and each
one measures Az by 5la inches.
The man of the house knows exactly when,
where and how to use these same abrasive
sheets, for nearly every man likes to potter
about with tools and make things that need
smoothing down. He can be trusted to attend
to the sanding of woods, furniture and painted
surfaces that need renewing.
But the housewife also will learn to rely on
this package for removing stains from wood
work and floors for securing rust from rough
cooking utensils and for polishing metals of
all kinds. Furthermore, she will probably cut
up one or two of the papers into small squares
for match Scratchers
If there is an automobile in the family, one
or more of these handy little papers will prob
ably be taken as part of the equipment for
long trip or kept in the garage for securing
spark plugs and cleaning the machinery.
The package, which is put up in small
cardboard container, costs 10 cents.
