 When Clark applied for the "pair of marriage licenses County Clerk Nichol was chatting with Chief of Police Frank Stewart. The applicant was asked his age, and with head down he murmured "Twenty-one. The county clerk repeated the ques- tion and again Clark declared his age as 2l years. The police chief here intervened with a leading question, "Where's your registration card?" asked the chief. "If you are Fl you registered. and have a card showing that you did so." Clark said he had mt registered, whereupon Chief Stew art escorted Robert upstairs to the of selective board No. 1. Chairman Loosley instructed that Clark he held as deserter, and taken to Camp Pike for army service.
 Last night Clark said "he'd just told lie about his age" and asserted he is only 19. Chief Stewart, however, says, that unless Chairman Loosley changes his mind, Pm going to send that negro to Camp Pike next week."
