LESS RIGID IN REGARD
 TO FLAT FEET

Little Rock, Aug. 27-There have been a number of men rejected in the officers training camps and from the Army because of "fatfeet." But that defect is being considered in much different light in view of the advice that is being given medical men. This is reflected in orders received from Gen. CroWder that a broad flat sole is common in laboring classes, parti- euarly among negroes, and is in no way disabling" Medical authorities say that a great mistake is made to reject a man from military service simply because he has low instep.
 On the subject of the physical de- feets the following rule is given Any of the physical deficiencies must be present in such degree as to clearly and unmistakeably disqua1ify the man from military service before he can be found to be physically deficient and not physically qualified for military service
 It is clearly the intention of the government to be less rigid in it's re- euirments in the future in physical matters and more rigid in other ex- emptions.
