ARMY REQUIREMENTS
ARE LESS RIGOROUS

Due to the new regulations recent
lv issued by the War Department
modifying to a great extent the Sc
we're physical examinations required
for volunteers for the army, many
Young men have gone to the local
Army Recruiting station and taken
re-examination and have been ac-
cepted for enlistment after having
been rejected for enlistment time
and time again.
The most important modification
made was reducing the eye test.
Formerly applicants were required
TO read 20-70 with both eyes for GER
tain branches of the service and 20
40 for other branches; now all that
is required is that the applicant read
20-10O without glasses with one eye
and 20-40 with the other eye. If the
applicants wear glasses they must
read 20-100 without glasses with
both eyes. and have one eye cor
rected to 40 with glasses.
Formerly an applicant was re-
quired to have normal hearing, but
the new regulations allow a man to
be accepted if his hearing is one ha 4
normal.
The papers recently stated erron-
eously that the minimum height for
volunteer enlistments was SO inches
and that the minimum weight was
113 pounds. At present the mini
mum height is 60 inches and the
minimum weight is ITO pounds
stripped,
Out of all the applicants for
warded to the recruit depot during
the past week, about 20 per cent of
them had taken the examination
previously and h | failed to pass on
account of the eye test, but the new
regulations have made it compare
tlvely easy to pass the physical
examination.
