IL ceased to be n country village,
marched up to the scratch in good or
der. For the first time since the first
subway train ran under the East River
the rush hour to Manhattan was set
back two hours. Most Brooklynites,
by arrangement with their Manhattan
employers, registered before they went

avenue terminal OF the subway reached
its zenith--as Col. Henry Proctor
Waugh will say editorially in the next
issue Of the Sabudy Sun-at 10 O'Clock
In the morning.
There was considerable holiday max
ing mixed with the Brooklyn registra-
ton. Most OF the borough courts ad-
journed for the day right after cal
endar call and their clerical forces
went out TO help as registrars Where
ever lines OF registrants stood waiting
volunteer women workers appeared and
set the men singing The Star Spangled
Banner" And at the Central Y. NJ. c. A.
building waiting registrants were en-
tertained with motion pictures and
ella ssical numbers on the organ.
Rapid registration was the order OF
the day also in Queens and Richmond,
especially in those localities where
large war industries are situated.

profession, matinee idols. cotillon lead
