RECRUITING is SLACK
SIN Many Men Not in Draft Age Who
Could Serve in Army or
NAVY.

Recruiting for the navy. the regular
army and the marine corps has fallen
off noticeably In Richmond during the
last three weeks. This, Of course. IS
partly due to the call to the colors Of
the men drafted for the new National

still many men above the draft age
who would make good soldier timber.

HEALTH MAP SHOWS 48
SCARLET FEVER CASES
Half of the Cases i'm City Are Not
Recorded. say PLY
SicianS.

For the first time in the last two
years the number of cases of scarlet
fever in the city has approached
perilously near the half century
mark. According TO the graphic
map. pricked with every placarded
case Of fever in the city's limits.
there are at present as cases of the
disease at the present time.
In distribution the cases seem to
be about evenly scattered through
out the city. Across the st. Joseph
river there are II cases, four of
which are in River Park. The only
district seemingly immune from the
disease is the down town section. the
original plat of the city of South
Bend
There are no doubt twice as many
cases of the disease in the city as
are reported to the health office.
According TO reputable physicians
oftentimes cases Of scarlet fever are
so slight that il is impossible for a
lay person to detect the presence of
the infection. No serious inconven-
fence is noted and people often fail
to call doctor. AS a result a per-
son with such a slight attack will
further spread the disease unawares
among his friends.

KUESPERT RETURNS

Detective Admits His Chase i'm
Southwestern Part of Coun-

After spending a week in a pro-
longed chase through the southern
states and into Texas and Mexico,
Chief of Detectives Kuespert re-
turned 10 South Bend Sunday morn
ing. The chief said that his trip
had been successful. but declared
that he did not know whether pros
ecution would be brought against
his prisoner or not. He refused 20
make any further comments.
For bribing purposes the roll that
he brought back from Juarez, sew
eral inches thick and made up OF
fives. tens and twenties. is all that
could be desired. This ignores the
fact that the Carranza money is
worth but three cents on the dollar
and the Villa money will bring one
cent in real money for every dollar
printed on the paper In the event
Of lasting victory by either Of the
men. his money Will be worth near
y face value in Mexico Chalf of
face value in the United States),
while the money OF the vanquished
general will not he worth anything.

and is boarding both Villa nd Car

MASS MEETING IS
SET FOR TONIGHT
Organization of South Bends
Music Club Expected to
be Perfected.
By W. Preston MacHcnry.

Everyone who possibly can come
10 the Orgization meeting tonight.
O'Clock, at the auditorium of the
High school building should not fail
10 do so, for the big success Of the
Civic Music club OF South Bend is
vital for the city's future music and
art.
Note well what The Craftsman
for September, 1916, says about the
work:
The New York community chorus
originated in January. 1916. at a
meeting i'm the Music School settle
ment OF New York. called jointly
by the Musical School and the Peo-
pies institute subsequently, week
ly meetings during the winter were
and the chorus gave its first public
concert at the Dewitt Clinton high
school on April %" Continuing:
The invitation 10 join the COM
munity chorus is extended TO all. No
knowledge of music is required and
no voices are tested. New members
may enroll at any of the public
meetings or by corresponding with
the secretary.
Politically. il is a powerful crea-
tor of the spirit of democracy, in
tensifying. extending and vocalizing
that spirit under the most desirable
and advantageous conditions.
"As recreation, it represents one
of the highest and most profitable
forms which public recreation can
take. a physical exercise and an
emotional outlet through a beautiful,
artistic medium available to all.
Spiritually. it is the meeting
place Of all creeds, all faiths that
own a God and seek the brotherhood
of man, a place where the simplest
and truest in all faith is pledged in
song"
So, with this spirit of brotherhood,
you are invited. urged. 20 attend the
big meeting tonight and 10 invite
your friends-and you" means
every one who can get into the big
hall.

PREPARE AMENDMENTS
TO BUILDING CODE
Proposals viii be Put Up to the
Council Tonight Tor
Action.

Amendments 10 the present build
ing code. 1913 in number. have been
prepared and will be presented at
the meeting of the common council
Monday evening. The general tenor
of the amendments is 10 remove
harsh restrictions and undue precau-
tions from the code.
After the ordinance has been in
force for a year, il has been found
by Commissioner Perkins that a
number of revisions are advisable
and he has had these incorporated
into the bill which will be presented
for the approval of the council.
Three new sections are provided,
one of which provides for the plac-
ing OF a fine of 500 for any viola
ton of the code and holds that
Each days violation of this ordin-
ance shall be a separate offense. In
the event that the fine is not paid
the offender is subject TO a jail SEN
tence Of so days.
No charge will be made, however.
for extra trips of inspection that
the building Office may be forced to
make No charge will be made in
the old ordinance which permits the
owner or contractor TO place his own
estimate on the building he is ask
ing TO erect. and prohibits the COM
missioner making any correction ex-
cept in the case the building is evi-
IDENTITY over the $4,000 mark.
A slight increase in the e as
charged is also being made, which
will make the Office nearly self-sup-
porting.
