CATCH SLACKERS
BY CLEVER TRICKS
Men Who Claimed to Be Deaf and
Fooled Examiners Fell for Talk of
Sweet Young Woman.

DETROIT, Mich, March 29-Al-
though a majority of slackers in Michi
gan have sought to evade military sery-
ice by submitting sad stories of physical
ailments or helpless dependents, more
than a few classical excuses have been
heard by local boards and medical exam
liners.
y have pricked good many hot air
balloons since the draft law became cf-
fective, said one investigator, land
expect to puncturc good many more.
Usually the draft evader who thinks he
is clever is pitiablv clumsy and often
falls into the most simple sort of a
trap The following little system
caught more than one would-bc cyader:
\ youth alleging defective hearing
was taken into an examining room.
My hearing is pretty bad he told
the medical officer.
THAT so? Let 5 see, - said the doe
tor, as he stepped close to the young
man.
Put your hand over your right ear, -
said the doctor, loudly.
The youth did so.
Can you hear this2' asked the
physician, in a low tone.
| No response.
| Can You hear me now?' This was
| spoken in an ordinary voice.
| No response.
" Now put your hand over your left
ear, said the doctor in 4 very faint
voice.
The order was promptly obeyed; the
candidate saw the light and meekly
submitted to the rest of the eNamina-
ton.
\ sweet young woman, employed in
one of the Detroit draft board offices
caught several slackers who were clever
enough to fol- the medical examiners
One instance, which was reported by 3
member of the local board, concerned Q
young man who insisted he was deaf an6
who evaded the tests and tricks of the
examiners. As he left the medical room
the smile which the demurc miss flashed
at him caused him to forget war anC
home and country.
Were you accepted?' the young
woman asked in a very low tone.
Nav, they turned me down and gee
| wanted to-
9" Don t worry, my friend, we made ;
little mistake and you re accepted, :
said a drawing voice behind the slack
CT.
The youth whirled and faced the med
zeal officer. He blushed and stammerec
but finally began to grin.
That s number six for me- sal,
the girl in the case.

fired at an angle, resorting to tandem
ire again and directing the shells across
the bridge. The shells from the forward
gun of the submarine fell slightly short,
but close to the ships side. The after
gun appeared to have more velocity than
the forward gun and the shells passed
over the ship and struck near the star
board bow.
"A fierce firing was kept up from
that angle until the submarine got
astern. Apparently picking her own
position, she remained slightly on the
vessels port stern and fred from that
position, the forward gun S shells still
dropping short
The submarine then drew closer,
using both guns in tandem fire, the
shells falling on both sides of the ship.
Shrapnel was now being used and some
of the shells burst before contact, seat

Fragments of it became embedded in

of the starboard bow. The tremendous
conclusion threw all the men on the
platform to the deck, face forward
Both of the Paulsboro : guns now
