ARMY RECRUITING
 RECORDS BROKEN
(By United Press)

Washington, Dec. 10.-All records for peace-time recruiting were broken in November, when 24,308 men were accepted for enlistment in the regular army. This is the greatest number ever obtained in the history of recruit ing, according to figures made public today by Major P. C. Harris, the ad- jutant general of the army, and 6,729 more than October's 17,579.
 The previous record had been made during the height of Rehabilitation, when many men signed up again for year because they had no particu- lar job in prospect.
 For the last 10 days of the month, which contained only seven working days, 8,374 men were accepted, or more than 1000 a day. Officers can hardly explain such tremendous flood of recruits except on the theory that the news of the army's program for education and industrial training has begun to reach the young men of the country. This is borne out by the fact that almost 40 per cent are now re-enlistments, as against only Is per cent in by gone years.
 In this landslide of recruits the Sec ond division, now at Camp Travis San Antonio, Texas, went over the top in the drive to raise it to full strength, with 10 days left of the SC ollotted to that historic outfit for its whirlwind campaign to enlist 6,0oC new men.

 The above statement was made by Dr. Otto Wilmington, pastor of I'm manuel Baptist church of Little Rock. in hls report on the Baptist state edu- cational institutions before yesterdays session of the state Baptist conven- tion.

TO CURB FORMATION
 OF TOBACCO HABIT

Little Rock, Dec 10.-One of the next movements which will be taken in Arkansas and probably throughout the country, is campaign to reduce the amount of tobacco that is being used. Dr. T. B. Bradford of Cotton Plant, sanitorian of the Rock Island lines is interested in the movement for curtailing the use of tobacco, es- pecially among boys and young men, believing that when they are cured of the habit they are not so likely to ac- quire it in their mature years. It is probably that this plan will be sub- mitted to the legislature when it meets in January and Dr. Bradford has call ed upon the members of the legisla- ture to assist him with suggestions It is said that there are very few doc tors, ministers or other learned or scientific men of the state who have up to the present time given the sub ject serious thought. Dr. BBradford has, however, studied the matter care fully from a practical as we'll as a scientific viewpoint and has some ideas to advance which it is believed will meet with favor in the minds of many

CLOSER INSPECTION
 OF BOILERS URGED

Little Rock, Dec. 10.-The biennial report of the state labor commis- sioner for the boiler inspection de- partment shows a total of 1,554 boil CTS inspected from October 6, 1919, to September 30, 1920, of which II were condemned as unsafe, and repairs and changes ordered in 895 others. For the two years total of 2,326 boilers were inspected and repairs ordered on 918.
 This shows the condition found while making these inspections" says the report, land the urgent need of amendments to the law so that every boiler in the state could be inspected at least once annually. Under the present arrangement, with one man to take care of the entire state and with the maintenance of the depart ment dependent upon the small fees collected, it is impossible to cover the whole state. The boilers that are located away from the railroad prob- ably need inspection more than others because the majority of these boilers are purchased secondhand, many of them at the time of their purchase be- ing unsafe to be put in operation. It is a physical impossiblity for one man to cover the entire state and inspect all the boilers in use, a conservative estimate of the number being 12,0OO Inadequate funds are supplied by the present inspection fee allowed by law"
