WILL ONLY TAKE FIVE
MINUTES TO REGISTER

Atlanta, Ga, May l7.-According
to calculations made by Albert D.
Thomson, secretary to Mayor Cand-
Ter of this city, it will take FIVE min
utes to fill out the registration card
of a man of military age under the
selective CONSUMPTION law AS there
are 10000 men of such age in Allan
ia, it is estimated that 800 registrars
and large number of registration
booths will be necessary to complete
the task in one day. The War De-
partment has announced that only
one day will be allowed for registra-
ton. Nothing like 300 men have
volunteered to serve free as regis
trars in Atlanta, although the mayor
is getting volunteers every day. But
the task is big one, and the officials
can't see to save their lives how it's
going to be finished in one day.
