SEND UNFIT TO
 TRAINING CAMP
 |S NEWEST PLAN
(Boston Journal)


 The large proportion of physical re- jections in the draft examinations has led the chamber of commerce to con- slderation of movement for govern ment action to reclaim for military service the physically unfit among the youth of the nation
 Estimates that one-third of the men who registered June 5 will ] 9 unable to meet the physical reqdlrem. nts are be- ing borne out with each ew day of the examinations. This m ans that 3 million or more of the aln 1st 10 mill lion men between 21 and 31, which the government reckOns as it's chief man power, cannot be called upon in their present condition to bear arms.
 The situation is regard d by the chamber of commerce publication as a severe indictment of the mode of life lndulged by the young men approach ing and following the age of 21. Of the young men being rejected the larger portion, draft physicians find, are between 21 and 25.
 Recruiting Showed the Need
 The movement for reclamation of the unfit had it's inception in reports of the large numbers of men being turned down at army and navy recruiting of
 
 it's fighting strength on it's entrance into the war. Now the Boston Cham Der of Commerce, inspired to organized effort by the disappointing results of the draft tests, has just appointed a special committee to foster the move ment
 It has been estimated that 90 per cent of these men who fail to come up to the requirements can be put into proper physical condition for military , service within three to six months The means suggested Is to put the rejected : men into special training camps, where 1 they Will be given medical treatment : as well as military drill This is the i plan of Dr. John H. Quayle of Cleve- land.
 Bad teeth, broken arches and other disqualifying conditions due principally t0 carelessness constitute a large share of the reasons for rejections. Exemp- . ton board physicians feel that some ofthese defects can se easily remedied. but the regulations say that the men shall be turned down.
 Army Method Suggested , The rejections are not to be final in ! all cases. Free dental treatment is fur nished for men rejecteG for the regular arms of the service, and it is felt that the drafted men rejected should be compelled to undergo treatment for de- fleets that can be rectified. Such a provision would place in the ranks the men who rightfully belong there under the fair edict of the draft lottery, rather than bring forward other men to fill i their places.
 II Another large class of rejections is due to physical waste. Examiners are finding large numbers of young men whose systems are broken down through dissipation. This condition is not so pronounced among the men past 25 physicians say. These are mostly the men who have married and settled

intelligent citizen, but a healthy and efficient one.
 But to get back to children: Take 100 babies one year old and they would score above 90, take 100 children six years old and they would still score over 90 of a possible 100 points. You take 100 children 14 years of age and the average will not be over 60 out of a possible 100 points. If you do not believe it induce your state fair com missioners to conduct not only bet ter babies' contest but a better childrens' contest, and you will find my statements are very conservative. What is the cause of failing health? ? Improper diet, improper position at the desks, improper light and ventila- tion, lack of a real systematic course of exercises, and improper care of the teeth and eyes, and last but by no means least, improper shoes. Who is to blame for this condition; the super intendent, teachers, school board, par ents or the public? All in general, and no one in particular. It is due to the , almost utter lack of a real system of physical education.

GOODYEAR PEOPLE HOLD SECOND
 ANNUAL FIELD AND TRACK MEET

egg races. relay races, dashes of all lengths shoe races, walking races, jumps of all kinds, shot puts, tugs-of- war, boxing, wrestling, cross country runs. bicycle races and many novelty races were among the events. At times half a dozen contests were in progress in different parts of the field.
 One of the spectacular events of the day was a magnificent military drill by the Flying squadron, band of se- lected employees, who for months have been receiving military training. At the conclusion of the drill they were lined up for review. In the reviewing party were Goodyear and navy officials and the mayor of the city.
 Again the general office tug of-war team showed superiority over the fac- tory huskies. Remembering their last years defeat. the factory men this year picked their team. by elimination, from the entire roll of factory em- ployes, and presented a formidable ar ray of men on the battle line, but the office men had no trouble in dragging the beef trust" over, to the great sur prise of the vast throng witnessing the event.
 The days program was topped off
 
 Goodyear dirigibles. The giant air ship propelled itself gracefully over the field in a series of figure eights, at an altitude of about 800 feet and dropped paper bombs on the crowd be- low. Many of these bombs" contained valuable prizes and were scrambled for with enthusiasm by thousands of persons.
 In the evening the Goodyear band of thirty pieces entertained with an ela- borate concert which was followed by a community sing" participated in by ten thousand persons singing well known songs of this and other days
 Dancing was in progress during the entire evening and was enjoyed by a thousand couples.
 It was big day and not a person went home disappointed. Not an un- toward event marred the day. There was no confusion of any description for the Goodyear police department and the factory organization handled the vast crowds with efficiency and courtesy.
 An event like the Goodyear field day brings us face to face with a new order of things in the industrial world. In that world the new day of concord and understanding has dawned to stay.
 Every employe meets his fellows and contributes something to the happi- ness and entertainment of all It de- velops a wonderful institutional spirit and for a get-together affair eclpses any other activity that can be em- plOyed

DETROIT MANS GUN
 SHOOTS BARB WIRE
Weapon Is Intended to Impede Progress of Onrushing Body of Troops
 by EntangIing Them
(Popular Science Monthly


 After a murderous artillery fire has swept away the ordinary barbed wire entanglements in front of a trench, there is nothing to impede the onrush of troops except machine gun and in fantry fire. accompanied at certain times by well placed oarrage fire from the rear. Under most conditions this resistance is sufficient to deplete the ranks of an invading force, but the fact that the first, second and third line of trenches may be captured in a single charge is proof that gun fire alone cannot dissipate a body of troops. There have been numerous occasions in this war where troops of both sides have deliberately ph4nged through heavy barrage fire to carry a line of trenches
 Accordingly, Enid s. Wales of De- troit Mich, has invented a novel pro- jectle which shoots barbed wire in- stead of bullets. His idea is to first impede the progress of an onrushing body of troops by spreading coils of barbed wire in front of them and then to attack them with infantry and ma chine gun fire. The inventor claims that his projectile will distribute mass es of barbed wire over a large area, en- meshing a whole company of troops.
 Briefly. the projectile consists of a stem which fits the -arrel of trench mortar; a central chamber containing the explosive charge, into which cham Der the stem fits, and several hollow caps which carry the coils of .barbed wire, the inner ends of which are se- cured to the body of the she'll When the projectile eXplodes, the caps con- taining the barbed wire shoot out like bullets, distributing the wire in tangled masses. A time fuse is provided so that the distance can be gauged.

The second annual field and track meet of the Goodyear Tire x Rubber company, at Seiberling Park, Akron, Ohio. on Labor Day, proved to be the most elaborate athletic carnical ever staged by any private corporation in the country It far eclipsed the initial field meet of last year both in attend ance and general character of program.
 Under perfect skies, Goodyear en- ployes and their friends, 50,000 strong, enjoyed an old-time sport carnival, throughout the entire day, embracing everything from quoits to a baby show. IL was a most unique affair for those present-and fulfilled the promise of the slogan, "something doing every minute" which had been adopted for the day.
 The immense crowds blanketed the Eleachers and the hillsides bordering the field, taxed the gigantic grand stand to it's capacity and filled all DOT tionS of the field not reserved for the events.
 There were all kinds of track and field events for both sexes and all ages. With last years experience as guide, practically perfect organization was achieved, and every event was run off exactly on scheduled tlme-a feature which greatly appealed to the throngs of onlookers. With the forty acre athletic field gayly decorated with or ange and black-the Goodyear colors, and American flags proudly floating everywhere in the breeze, the days fes- tivities opened promptly at a. m. with boxing and wrestling, followed by a thrilling baseball game between the Akron city champion Goodyear team and the Cleveland White Autos, former amateur worlds champions. While the game was in progress, other events were being conducted in the oval.
 The intense interest exhibited in the days activities was shown when more than 1000 employees reported, ready to compete in their respective branches of sport. And in these events some skill was shown that would have done credit to any college meet in the coun- try-in fact many of the contestants were college men, with track experi- ence behind them, for Goodyear has attracted hosts of college men from all parts of the country. Quoits, ten his, bait casting, baseball throwing, obstacle races, nail driving, cock fights,

Plea for Physical Culture

ments in mining, manufacturing. farming, stock raising, in short every thing under the sun that we have over looked ourselves. We have spent vast sums of money in establishing agri- cultural colleges to improve seeds, grains, scientific breeding and feeding of horses, cattle, hogs and poultry. We have trained young men to go among the farmers to instruct them in the best method of feeding stock, but how many states have schools to train young men and women to instruct parents to feed children properly? Aren't children as important as hogs? Of course will admit you cannot sell children for 20c per ID.
 If this war will wake up America to full realization of it's duty and best self-interest in regard to physical edu- cation, our brave, fine boys will not have died in vain, and those boys America sends over to our Allies are as fine looking, brave and intelligent as the very flower of European man. hood, but what of the 40 per cent who failed to pass? They may be just as intelligent and brave, but are suffering from some disease or defects that in 75 out of 100 cases are preventable or could be corrected, and while we strain every resource to win this war remem- Der the time to begin making good sol

cost the sheepman more money than anything else that he has had to contend with. It is question that has been troubling them for long time, according to Manager Grath of the Harmon Motor Co, Inc, local Smith Form a Truck distributors.
 This year the drought conditions have been particularly bad. As a result sheepmen have been unable to supply a proper amount of water for their sheep during the lambing season. A solution of this problem have been troubling them for some time. This year it has been met in very efficient manner, in the fol- lowing way.
 The Roswell Buick Company of New Mexico, dealers for the Smith Form a Truck in that part of the country came forward with a propo- sition to the sheepmen to use Smith Form a Truck as water carriers for 1 this purpose. The low operation cost 1 of the Smith Form Truck made this plan very feasible and it was acted upon. In the past sixty days 1 the Roswell Buick company have supplied the sheepmen with fifty seven of these efficient little trucks. | The performances of these trucks
 were so satisfactory in this work and th operating cost was so low that | the sheepmen were highly pleased
 and there is much promise of this
 work assuming very large propor-
 tions in the near future.
 This is a case where drought con
 ditions, so often given as a reason
 for a lack of business, were turned to good account, as it saved the
 sheepmen a large amount of money through the saving of sheep and ih
 cidentally brought some real business to the Roswell Buick company Ii also emphasizes the wide use that this light truck is being put tC wherever there is a demand for fast
 efficient transportation at a low cost

The greatest potential wealth of any nation is it's efficient men and women. The greater the efficiency the greater the potential wealth It is equally true that a man in good health is a more efficient workman than he who suffers from impaired health due to disease or physical defects. If these statements are true it stands to reason that if we can improve the health of our people we increase our national as- set, and the increase in disease and physical defects is national liability.
 Is it not therefore to the self-in- terest of the federal, state, county, city and school governments to look after the health of the people? Are we doing as much as we ought to? Do we need to improve our health as a nation? For answer look at the recent physical examination of the flower of our young men between 21 and 31 years of age. Under a very liberal interpretation of the rules about 40 per cent failed to pass and mark this that good many who go from this and every county in the union will fail to pass the examination when they reach the training camps This is no reflection on the ability of local ex- animation boards as they no doubt took men between 31 and 45 years of age, it is safe to say 50 per cent would fail to pass. Is that a record to be proud of? Whose fault is it. Mo- body's in particular It is just because we have not paid much attention to physical education as a nation. We have been so busy making improve
