Registrants Dodge Possible Hoodoo by Refusing to Have Names Re- corded in Undertaking Parlors
 Negro Led the Move.

Some of Uncle Sam's future sol- diers lodged a street number quicker than they would have side-stepped a German shell during the registration today.
 The street number was TOT Mena street, which happens to be the loca- tion of Frazier's undertaking parlors. The Second ward board of registrars had headquarters there. The first intimation there was any thing significant in the location came early in the day, when Joe Williams, negro chauffeur from Fort Smith, was taken there for registration.
 The moment the darkey's keen eyes saw that he was about to take the first step into Uncle Sam's service in the company of shrouds and cofiins, he rebelled and deserted the ranks iii double quick time. Joe never even saw Welcome" on the door mat
 No sah, Ise not goin' in thar" de- clared the excited black, and he didn't either.
 But Williams proved himself a real patriot by moving over to the Third ward headquarters on DeQueen street, where he arranged with the regis trars to have his entry recorded with the home board at Fort Smith.
 That the negro wasn't the only one in Mena who feared a possible jinx by registering in an undertaking par. Tor is shown by the figures of the to- tai number registered in the city.
 At o'clock 92 men had registered in the First ward and 70 in the Third ward, while the total in the Second was only 45
 It is estimated there will be $50 registered in the city by tonight. No slackers are expected, but it was too much for some nerves to start out on possible journey to the trenches from an undertaking headquarters.
 The county exemption board will likely have to keep open office most all tonight in order to receive town ship reports and transmit returns to headquarters at Little Rock. A matter of human interest that entered the work of registration in he First ward came whe couple of registrants were asked their occupa tions.
 Hell, we ain't got no occupations" said the spokesman of the pair to Leslie Moseley. "We want to fight" Thus at least two of Polk county reg istrants will henceforth be classed as fighters. by occupation.
