REGULATIONS FOR SELECTS MOD.
IFIED-ARMY TO GET THOSE
BELOW MILITARY
STANDARD

Washington, January 3l-New regu-
lations for selective draft physical ex-
aminations were issued today by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder, in
preparation for extension of the pol
icy of accepting for special and limit
ed service registrants untitled for
general military duty. They will
bring into the service under the next
draft many men who otherwise would
be exempted.
The local boards are directed to
pass upon registrants for general mil
itary service only when they come
within the standards of unconditional
acceptance or rejection. All other
cases must be referred to the Medical
Advisory Board for further examina-
ton. Hereafter there will be no I'M
conditional rejecting of men who have
remedial defects.
Under the old regulations men un-
der five feet in height were uncondi-
tionally rejected. III the future men
of So inches, if exceptionally well
proportional, may be taken, and if
not exceptionally well proportional
their cases must be referred to the
Medical Board Registrars above 78
inches, when not exceptionally well
proportional, also are to be referred
to the Medical Advisory Board for
classification.
The minimum weight established by
the regulations is 100 pounds, unless
the underweight is plainly due to
some recent illness and otherwise the
registrants have no disqualifying de-
feet" but the cases of registrants
weighing between 100 and ia pounds
are to be referred to the Medical
Board.
Registrars under weight in pro-
portion to their height, unless. it is
plainly due to some temporary cause,
also go to the Medical Board.
The Provost Marshal General an
nounced that specific regulations and
soon are to be given to
the Medical Advisory Boards con-
corning special and limited military |
service for registrants untitled for
general service.

Mr.. Hoover said, ITO about $3.50
per hundred for refined sugar from
the refiners at seaboard points or
should place sugar In the hands Of
the consumer at from 6Ia to 9
cents per pound, depending upon
locality and conditions Of trade, or
at from I to cents below the
prices Of August last and from one
half to a cent per pound cheaper
than today.
"There Is now an elimination OF
speculation, extortionate profits, and
in the refining alone the American
people will save over $25,000,000 of
the refining charges last year. A part
of these savings goes to the Cuban,
Hawaiian, Porto Rlcan and Louslanian
producer and part to the consumer.
appeals to prejudice against the
food administration have been made
because the Cuban price is "a cents
above that of 1917. 1t Is said in effect
that the Cubans are at our mercy ;
that we could get sugar cent lower.
We made exhaustive study of the cost
Of producing sugar In Cuba last year
through our own agents in Cuba, and
we find 1t averages $3.50, while many
producers are at higher level. We
found that an average profit Of at
least a cent per pound was necessary
in order to maintain and stimulate
production or that minimum price Of
$4.37 was necessary, and even this
would stife some producers.
1.-THE price ultimately agreed was q
cents above these figures, or about one
fifth Of cent per pound to the Ameri-
can consumer, and more than this
amount has been saved by our reduc-
ton In refners' profits. If we wish to
stihe production In Cuba we could
take that course just at the time of all
times in our history when we want
production for ourselves and the al
lies. Further than that, the state de-
partment will assure you that such a
course would produce disturbances In
Cuba and destroy even our present
supplies, but beyond all these material
reasons Is one Of human justice. This
great country has no right by the
might Of its position to strangle Cuba.
therefore there Is no imposition
upon the American public. Charges
have been made before this commit
tee that Mr.. Rolph endeavOred to ben.
eft the California refinery Of which he
was manager by this "a cent increase
in Cuban price. Mr.. Rolph did not fix
the price. 1t does raise the price to
the Hawaiian farmer about that
amount. 1t does not raise the profit Of
the California refinery, because their
charge for refining is, like all other re-
finers, limited to S1.30 per hundred
pounds, plus the freight differential on
the established custom of the trade.
"Mr. Rolph has not one penny Of h.
terest In that refinery"

of which is nail-like peg which pro-
jects downward and hurts when
pressed upon. Soft corns form be-
tween the toes and are only different
from Others in that they are soaked
with Precipitation all the time. The
corn itself is composed of lump of
the outer part of the skin which is
caused by the pressure of the shoe at
that spot. However. the corn would
not result unless the pressure were
taken off at intervals, and this, of
course, is done when you take the
shoe off. 1t stands to reason that if
the pressure were continuously ap-
piled to this spot, the skin, instead of
Overgrowing at that precise point,
would waste away. The overgrowth
of the skin is dut to the irritation pro-
duced by the pressure.

CATHOLIC CHURCH
FOR MEXICAN SIDE

Following the meeting held in Mex
icali few days ago, comes the an
nouncement that the city across the
border is to have a magnificent Ro-
man Catholic church and also a res
idence for Archbishop Mendoza.
The preliminary steps We're taken
after long informal consideration Of
the subject and the great need of a
church, at a meeting called by Mrs.
Fred Dato, one of the leading ladies
of the border city, and active in church
work.
Tentative plans have been made for
the church and residence, and the
cost will probably reach $4,000, and
may exceed this sum when the plans
,are completed. These are now being
drawn by one of the leading archi-
tects of Mexico City and are expected
to be submitted at an early date.

POLITICAL

Inasmuch as township justices of
the peace are required by law to keep
their offices open between a. m.
and p. m., or leave a competent
Jerk in charge to wait on the public,
or the penurious salary of $1,000 per
ear, there is no great rush for the
OBJ in Imperial county. BY the way,
'ow many justices are violating the
aw in this respect? How many stay
their offices or leave a clerk to at
end to business If the public pried
90 deeply into this question the JUS
ices would undoubtedly throw up
heir ill-paid job, probably.
