Last nights dance by the Junior

was a great success.
The dance was held in the Assembly
Hall of the High School and music
was furnished by an orchestra of the
Naval Academy Band, which played
a program of twenty dance numbers
with a few evtras.
The hall was decorated with school
pennants and flags, and potted palms
and ferns were used to advantage.
The dance was chaperoned by Miss
Louise Linthicum, principal of the
High School; Mrs. Robert Moss, wife
of Judge Moss; Mrs George T. Field
meyer and Miss Miriam Strange
The young girls wore attractive and
dainty gowns, and most of the young
men were in the conventional evening
dress.
The dance was a success in all par
ticulars, and a pleasant social eve-
ming was enjoyed.

DRAFTED MEN DIVIDED
INTO FOUR CLASSES
To Classify BY Health According 7,
Physical Condition

Government reports from Washing
ton state that Reconsideration accord
ing to physical condition of the men
called in the next army draft is pro-
vided in revised instructions for med
ical advisory boards which abe being
sent to the local boards throughout
the country. The new regulations,
made public, require that every man
summoned before the board shall be
placed in one of the following four
classes:
"(a) Acceptable for general mill
tary service; (b) acceptable for gen
eral military service after being cured
of remedial defect; lc) acceptable for
special or limited military service in
a specified capacity or occupation;
(d) rejected and exempted from any
military service"
1t is the intention of the Provost
Marshal General to provide later for
the further investigation and classifi-
cation of the men acceptable for lin
tied or special service so that record
may be made of the sort of work each
of these men may be assigned to do
without endangering his health.
Under the new regulations many
ailments and defects which gained ex-
emption of drafted men in the past
now will result only in their being
listed in Group B. Such men, if they
choose, will be given permission to
secure the services of their family
physicians in the effort to remove the
defect, but if they have not availed
themselves of this privilege within a
specified time they viii be called into
military service and ordered to can
tonment base hospital, a reconstruc-
ton hospital or to a civic hospital, as

''SMILEAGE TUESDAY"
EUR MARYLAND BOYS
Special Day Proclaimed For Boys at
Camp Meade and Camp
Mcclellan.

Maryland boys in Camp Meade and
Camp Mcclellan are TO have n
special "Smileage" day proclaimed for
them. Governor Harrington has de-
cided that the people back home must
keep the home ties tight, and a
Smileage book of theatre passes to
the camp theatres has been chosen as
the tie-up medium, which will let the
Maryland boys know that their State
is solidly behind them. The Cover
nor will issue a proclamation to this
effect, proclaiming Tuesday. March
18th, as Smileage Tuesday, on which
day all good citizens should buy and
send to the camps a Smileage Book.
The Smileage book makes a distinctive
gift, for it gives the soldier long dis
tance slap on the back and says
We're with you-doing a little bit
here's some visible evidence" As
the boys are frequently broke about
a week after payday the SmiIeage
coupons are dOuDly appreciated.
On Tuesday buy Smileage book
Send it to a particular friend, or TO
the Commanding General, at head
quarters, Camp Meade, Md, or Camp
Mcclellan, Ala, where Maryland boys
are training, and ask the General to
see that some Maryland boy gets it,
Write your name and address on the
cover and thus get in touch with some
boy from your State who is now
pretty lonely for some one to write to.

CHANGE IN SELLING TOBACCO
New Open Door Competitive System
Adopted In Baltimore.

For some time past, many tobacco
growers of Southern Maryland have
felt that a new system of selling their
tobacco should be adopted.
At meeting held in Baltimore on
February 18th, the tobacco growers
present requested the Leaf Tobacco
Association of Baltimore City (Which
is composed of Commission Mer-
chants and tobacco buyers) to formu-
late a new system of selling Maryland
tobacco. On March 7th a meeting
was called by the committee appointed
to which the tobacco growers were in
vited. After witnessing a demonstra
ton, and a full discussion, the grow
ers present unanimously accepted the
plan submitted. This system embod
les competitive bidding by every
buyer on each hogshead offered be-
fore same is sold, and further gives
the commission merchant the privi-
Iege of rejecting any or all bids made
This new method of selling tobacco
has therefore been adopted until
revoked.
