Little Gloom About.
There was the same spirit of cheer
fulness and willingness to do their
Bit if necessary, shown during the
examinations this forenoon and late
Monday that there was Monday morn
ing. A good deal of the conversation
both inside and outside the examining
room today had to do with the circus.
1t is safe to say that most of those
who were examined this forenoon re-
manned and went to the show
Some, perhaps a few, it is true, want
to go to war and said 50 They seemed
pleased when they were told they had
been accepted as physically fit.
I've got no objections to going,
said JEFF Davis, of Liscomb, one of
those who seemed pleased when told
he had been accepted.
Another was N. S. Caramarodis, 4
Siciian, of this city. When asked if
he had a claim for exemption to file
he said in broken English that he had
none.
Splendid Physical Specimens.
The very few, other than the exam
ming physicians and members Of the
exemption board, who were admitted
to the examining room had occasion to
remark on the splendid physical speci-
mems among the young men examined.
The general average seemed to be high
in physical perfection even to the lay
mans eye.
DR.. W. S. Devine, physician member
Of the board, said the average Of ply
steal excellence was very high indeed.
He made the remark several times
Monday afternoon. This forenoon he
added to it the statement that the men
examined today were, he believed, the
finest physically for SO large a num-
Der that he had ever helped to exam
inc, or had seen at one time.
The Commoner Defects.
The most common defects that
caused rejection were defective eyes
and ears and fiat feet. The latter
probably was the commonest Of all.
One was rejected for pulmonary tu
berculosis, a few for hernia, some for
hammer toes. OF the 219 examined
only two were rejected for venereal
diseases, which the physicians say is
remarkably low average. being less
than l per cent for men of the age ex-
amined.
y-o1 ~ NJ
Chesire that Of the men he had ex-
amined up to Monday night, j. B. Can
non, Of Liberty township, was nearest
physically perfect.
Case Of Quick Recovery.
A case of remarkable recovery was
shown by Wendell P. Stansberry. Of
Gilman. Nine weeks ago he fell from
ladder upon a walk and fractured in
three pieces his left knee cap. The
knee joint was still slightly swollen
when he came to be examined Monday
afternoon. Otherwise his leg and knee
seemed as sound as before injured. He
was accepted on the theory that by the
time he was examined by army sur
geons the swelling would be gone
and the injury entirely repaired.
Robert M. Shewalter. Of Marietta.
was the only one OF the more than 200
that had experience with lightning. He
had been struck by bolt, but, the
physicians found no i'll effects from it
and accepted him.
Among those examined up to noon
today were one negro, one Chinaman
! and two Sicilians. The negro was re-
jected for fiat feet, but the Chinaman
and the Sicilians passed the examina-
ton with flying colors.
Lawyers Are Barred.
Lawyers are barred from the ex-
aiming room under any conditions,
DR.. Deyine ordered this forenoon. In
doing so he is enforcing ruling Of the
provost marshal general, which bars
lawyers from being admitted before
| the exemption board in the interest of
any registrant. The order was made
public because an attorney represent
ing Wayne F. Reed, Of Marion town
ship, got before the board Monday
evening to protest for the bcdy's father
that the latter thought the boy was not
| physically fit altho he had been ac-
| cepted in the forenoon. DR.. Devine
consented to a denomination, and all
