BEST BUNCH EVER
SAYS DR.. EMANUEL
All Anxious to Get Crack al Kaiser;
"When Can | Go" Is Most Com
mon Question


Everything is like clock work al
the physical examination of the 20(
draft men under the QUESTIONABLE
conducted today on the fifth floor ol
the First National bank building
The doctors are not alone in their ef
ficiency. They have been through II
all before. So have the men, so ev-
erybody is thoroughly rehearsed in
their respective parts and there are
no bitches.
AS the men enter they approach
the desk presided over by Sid Braw-
ley where they give the preliminary
information. From there they go in
t. the disrobing room, thence to DR..
l. Fl. Winborn who takes weights
and chest measurements, which are
recorded by Dewitt Chitwood.
The next step takes them before
DR.. G. S. Gerard, who places the
thing,a-mabob over the heart and
listens to see if the old engine is
missing He also examines head,
chest, arms, hands and throat, which
findings are entered on the examina-
tion blank by York Sparrow
Dr. L. E. Emanuel, who is in charge
of the examination, then looks them
over as to possible defects in the
lower extremities. He is being as
sisted in this department of the eX,
animation by DR.. A. D. Donnelly.
The men are put through strenuous
set of exercises, which resemble a
Gloss between a toe dance and the
1Iula-Hufa. Lin Kirk is clerk in this.
department
When they get by the dancing
stage, the men pass to large room
presided over by DR.. A. G. Crosse,
DR.. S. o. Marrs, Dr. Homer Bond,
Chief Electrician White of the navy
recruiting station First Sergeant
Henry Mcclure of the army recruit
ing station, and Harold Macklin
Here the eyes, nose, hearing and
teeth are examined. If any of the
men are dead from the neck up, y
right here is where the fact is dis
covered. This department is the
windup of the examination.
On an average, the men are turn.
ing out a better examination, per-
centage considered, than any bunch
sent through the mill up to date.
In the opinion Of Dr. Emanuel, one
of the main reasons for this is that
he men have been through the ex-
aminations before and all the hope
lessly imperfect have been weeded
cat
- have never seen finer bunch
Of men," said Dr. Emanuel. "The
others we have examined under the
QUESTIONABLE were fine and dandy,
Tut this examination is especially
good. / have been asked a hundred
times today When can l go?' There
is something in store for Kaiser Bill
when these fellows get after him,
and it is going to be bitter pill at
trat"
