The lives Of our whole fighting forces
depend upon the perfect and adequate
production of all signal equipment, in
Guiding airplanes and radio telephone
and telegraph systems. There Is
probably no place where defect in ma
terial would bring greater disaster than
in an airplane, or In the equipment
which transmits orders for advances
or reinforcements or directs the artil-
lery fire Of our fighting forces. Pro-
duction must be speeded up so that our
armies can be equipped with every
technical instrument that will help
save the lives Of our soldiers.
The signal corps Is looking for the
type Of men who are technically and
practically trained along mechanical,
electrical, wood working and textile
lines. There Is no age limit to men
who will do this inspection. altho older
men with the greatest practical expert
ence will be given preference. In
spectors retain their civilian status, re-
ceiving salaries ranging from $1,000 to
| 81, 800 per year..
Application blanks and Information
are to be had from Mr.. Haradon.

Ruling Affects
Natural;zations

Hereafter when moro than seven
years have elapsed from the time when
an alien filed his declaration OF intent
to become a naturaliZed citizen ana
the time when he filed his petition for
naturalization, the petition Is void ana
the applicant can not be naturalized.
That Is in substance an order just re-
celved from the naturalization service
of the department of labor by Clerk
of Courts G. w. Gilbert. The order
Is based on a recent ruling OF the
United States supreme court In the
case of the United States vs.. Antonio
Norena.
This ruling held that what is known
as the "old law" governing proceed
ings Of naturalization, Is invalid. This
law allowed aliens who had made de-
claration of intent to become citizens
| to use the declaration of intention as
evidence in support Of their petition
for citizenship This phase OF the ola
law" continued to be in force after the
| new law" went into effect.
The ruling now puts out OF effect
this phase Of the "old law" The re-
| suit rs that aliens who file their de-
claration of intent, and then walt long
er than seven years before filing q
petition for naturalization, Will ma
their petition disallowed and will ne
compelled to start all over again by
