AMERICANS PHYSICALLY .SUPE.

NUN
There has been a marked improve
ment in the physical condition OF A
merican men since the Civil war
This conclusion, which will surprise
those who are fond of talking about
softness of American life and the de-
generacy of American youth is ihdi-
Gated by the records of the selcctive
draft as compared with those Of the
first draft of the Civil war
The records CT The first Civil war
draft show that nearly 80 per cent OF
the men physically examined were re-
iected. In thesfrst call under thepres
ent SeIective Service act, only '% per
cent of those examined were reject
ed
1t is true that the Civil war ma
been in PROCESS for some time before
the first draft was made ind that The
men examined probably fell below the
physical average of the men availa-
bic at the opening of the war. But
the record of the present draft is sian
ilary affected by the hundreds Of thou
sands of young men who have volun-
tarily enlisted and who have bean
physically examined by the draft
boards Moreover, the great advance
since the Civil war, i'll standards of
medicl diagnosis and OF physical sound
ness, has qndoqRtteddly resulted il. in the
election of thousands of men who
would have been regarded as accepta-
BILE fighters in the sixties.
The total numbe of men physically
examined by the draft boards was
2,510,706, of which number 1,779,950
were accepted and $780, 1855 rejected.
or the men found physically accepta-
BILE by the local. boards and sent to
camp, il is estimated that less than
per cent have been rejected by the
camp surgeons, a record which speaks
we'll for the care and thoroughness of
the board of surgeons,
Tales have been floating about that
men with glass eyes and artificial legs
have been sent to camp Such cases
may have occurred but it must be re
membered that some 10000 men were
received in camp who failed to appear
for physical examination by the local
boards and has been reported to the
state Adjutant Generals and by them
sent to the camp. Undoubtedly, men
who reached camp with such obvious
physical defects belong to this class.
The young men of South Dakota
have made the best recod, the ratio
of physical unfit being only Ia. AT
the other extreme, the Pennsylvania
record shows nearly A unfit men out
of every 100 examined.

(F-om Tuesdays Daily1

The finishing touches are being put on the interior of the supervisors offices in the new county building this week, and il was announced yester- day that ttis one suite of offices would be ready for occupancy by May isl. It ;S believed that the other oinceS in the building can be occu- pied by July lst.
 The interior of the building is be- ginning to take on some of the beauty which will be embodied in the inside finish of the handsome structure. All of the doors, castings, railings, etc will be of metal, finished to represent various woods. The interior of the second floor Is being done in nahog- any, and ono of the desirable fea- lures of the material is that it Is all steel and hence firc-proof. The doors fronting on the halls will all be fin is,led in brcnzc and the interiors of the offices in the mahogany. Plate glass doors will be provided for all OllCc CnlTdHCeS-

ANCHORAGE, July 3O.-TO manu- the fish-packing industry on Cook in let, coOperage plants soon will be es- tablished at Anchorage and Port Chat. ham, which is on the east side of Cook inlet, near its entrance In con junction with the cooperage plant at Port Chatham d sawmill will be erected there
 The Anchorage coOperage plant will be owned and operated by Harry Cribb of Anchorage. It will have capacity ot 5000 barrels month. and the owner expects to turn out 10000 barrels before the end Of this years fishing season. The taCtOry's maChin- cry will be run by electricity supplied by the power house oI the Alaskan engineering commission
 The barrel slaves will be made from birch, spruce and cottonwood 'i'lI'' ! 'lll li'IlB lll' llIl' VI til' government railroad. The timber first will be cut into cordwood lengths and then transported on the railroad to the plant in Anchorage
 The Port Chatham CoOperagc plant and sawmill will be owned and oper- ated by R G. DOherty of Anchorage. The cooperage factory will have monthly output of 5000 barrels, and will employ fifteen men The saw mill will have a daily capacity of 15000 board feet Spruce timber will furnish the lumber for the barrel slaves and heads.
 The fishermen on Cook inlet are ex- periencing difficulty in getting from Seattle a sufficient quantity of bar rels in which to pack this seasons catch. The plants at Anchorage and Port Chatham. according to E. T. Lindner. acting head of the land and industrial department of the Alaskan engineering commission. will accom- plish twofold purpose.
 First" he said. they will enable fishermen to obtain locally a large number of barrels required by them. and second. to that extent, the cargo space. now much in demand on north bound voyages of steamships. will be made available for other freight.

Towns Can Help Farmers.

There Is an opportunity now for ur-
ban people alphabetically and con-
structively to study the farm-labof sit
uation and to render assistance, said
David f. Houston, secretary Of agri-
culture, in a recent statement. In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience, who
would be willing to serve the nation
In the field of agriculture at this time.
Especially for the seasonal strains Of
planting, %cultivating and harvesting, 1t
will not be too much to ask such men
to aid the farmers In the necessary I'M
dertaking Of maintaining and, If posi-
BILE, experimenting, the food supply in
order to feed the armies and to sustain
the civilian population behind them.
If 1t appears that the farmers Of a
community or region are not able to
secure the necessary labor by the usual
methods, then the leaders In the town
or city Immediately dependent upon
that region should organize, establish
touch with representative farm lead.
ers, and see II they cannot assist In
solving the problem. The department
of agriculture and labor will render
every possible aid, but each community
knows it's W problems, and urban
people, especially business men, could
cooperate effectively with the farmers
and also render much assistance.

ing to be the cavalry of the air, or
eyes of the army, or anything else one
chooses to call us.
Let me tell you that your first trip
In an airplane is a thing apart, abso-

perience that you ever had.

and the earth falls away like a fade

ish little people on the ground turn up
their white faces at you as you 60
over.
