STATE PRESIDENT
Dear Co-Worker:
am sending you today the second
official call. l know you are getting
ready for our great Denver meeting.
destined to not only be the largest in
our history, but perhaps the most i'm
portant due to the critical period in
which we are living. Will you kindly
have this call inserted in your local
papers and any other papers that you
may have open to you. Our first call
was received courteously and affabIy
by the Colored Press everywhere. ]
am sure this one will also receive the
same consideration.
Do not lay this letter aside for to-
morrow. but do what you can for our
Association today. Has your Club
paid its per capita tax to our National
Treasurer? She is to make a printed
report and If your money is not in by
June 1st 1t cannot be printed. but will
be read by her at Denver. The Doug.
lass Home has been redeemed It has
not been restored. We need all the
money we can get to restore the
grounds and the home to its former
beauty. Remember that the women
Board of Trustees must be elected to
take charge Of that home. 1t will be
our official headquarters.
Programs will be ready for distri.
button May 18th, so you may know
what is in store for you at the great
Denver meeting. The Chairman OF
Programs has worked hard. Some
have not even answered her many let.
ters, but will be ready to CRITICISE.
Now, let me digress: I have been &C.
cused of neglecting home affairs for
the National good. Recently the Audi.
torium of my church was destroyed by
fire, damaging our building to the ex.
tent OF $4,000. ! am interested in my
church and Easter work We are hav.

LET DOWN THE BARS
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
SERVICE LESS RIGID.

Changes in the physical require.
ments for men of the national army,
by which who have been or would be
rejected under the first regulations,
can now be accepted for service have
been announced by Provost Marshal
General Crowder. -.
The notifications indicate that the
war department is determined to hold
for serVice-either general military or
special-all men registered except
those whose physical Condition can
never be remedIed to make them fit
for any kind of service
Physical defects that can be rene
died and make the men fit for service
will be remedied or the men put into
some special work not so rigorous as
trench fighting, Gen. Crowder says.
Those who can hear with one ear
spoken words at a distance Of ten feet
will be accepted Color blindness no
longer will be cause for rejection.
If man has six good teeth on each
jaw he will be taken Formerly if three
were missing the man would be re-
jected. .
A careful examination of the lungs
is ordered, with view of keeping to
4 minimum the number of pneumonia
and tubercular cases in camps.
Heighth and weight requirements
are changed. Flat foot or club and
claw foot, and several foot troubles,
no longer are causes for rejection, and
local boards are ordered to reject no
foot cases"
Hernia and similar troubles, the
cause of many reflections under the
| first draft must be serious TO win re-
| lection.
Extreme cases of chronic alcoholism
| will be rejected.
Under the new regulations the pow
er of the local examining physicians is
greatly restricted. Local boards can re-
jet or accept for physical quaiiiica-
tions only when the registrant comes
within certain unconditional standards
All other cases and those of doubtful
Interpretation will go to the medical
advisory board, similar to the district
examination board.
Physicians do not need to make a
complete report on any man, as was
necessary under the first draft. AS
loon as defet is found which uncon-
ditionally disqualifies man, the ex.
animation ceases.
The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1918-02-07
THOSE IN DRAF 7
SUGGESTIONS AS TO MEDICAL
EXAMINATIONS.

In regard to registrants in the draft
who are non-residents of Mahaska
County, and whose registration was
made with their respective local
boards, when they receive notice to
appear before their local boards, may
choose one of the following places.
Either report to your local board or
write your local board for transfer
of classification to the local board OF
Mahaska County, or a transfer of
physical examination. If you intend
to make this your home, it might be
better to have classification trans
ferred. If not. ask for transfer of
physical examination to Medical Adj
visory Board for Oskaloosa District.

LOST by one POINT
PENN HOWEVER FOUGHT HARD
BATTLE WITH FAIRFIELD.

Fairfield, Ia, Feb. 2.-Parsons
college basket ball team escaped a
beating at the hands of the doughty,
plucky, always fighting five from
Penn College, Oskaloosa, here yester-
day. The Parsons five nosed out by
single point in the last twenty sec
onds of play when a field goal car
ried them ahead of the visitors.
The game was sensational in the
turns of fortune exhibited. 1t was
anybody's game at any time and Fair
field counts herself fortunate in win
ling honors by the skin of her teeth.
1t was victory as if by accident.
First half ended 10 to 8 in favor of
Parsons, and Penn won the second
IA to Is. Total, "a to 20 for Parsons.
At the openings Fairfield walked
away from Penn, but the visitors
showed a wonderful reversal of form
and overpowered the home lads who
had jollied themselves into the belief
that they had a "pullin." Penn was
almost even when the half ended. The
Quakers did go away ahead in the
opening of the second. Then Par
sons braced and went by the fighting
parsons, but Penn spanked up again
and the whistle was about to an
lounce the victory for the guests
when lucky shot from the floor let
Parsons back into the lead by
hairs breadth as it were
Parsons Gagged 10 field goals to
PENIS 8, and had free throws from
10 chances, while Penn made of
Ier tries. .s-
