There are setting up exercises that take inches off 8 mans waistline and put them on his chest. There's shooting on the rifle range-every Marine is trained to be a crack shot; there's work with wireless te1egraphy and something of seamanship. It's work, but it's the sort of work men like.
 There must be discipline, just as there must be laws in com munity or rules in an office or factory. But the Marine discipline is of a sort that no reasonable man would object to.
 Life is not all work for the Ma rine. There are baseball. football. boxing and swimming for the devotees of these sports. No post is without it's pool tables. There is fishing and hunting. For Ma rines. in their travels. go where game, big and little. is plentiful and game laws are few.

HUGE ATTENDANCE
 SHOWN AT EMORY
Commencement Exercises Will Begin Tonight With University
 Reception

Atlanta, Ga, June 4.-The fact that
 the enrolment in Emory University
 has grown from 512 in 1918 to nearly , l 800 for the scholastic year just end ing was revealed in the report of Chancellor Franklin N. Parker, sub
 mitted to the board of trustees at its annual meeting at the university Fri day morning.
 The meeting was preliminary to commencement exercises which open Saturday night with the university re- , ception in honor of the graduating classes of the department of liberal arts, medicine theology, law and the graduate school.
 The trustees met again Friday aft ernoon and hold sessions Saturday morning and afternoon. One of the important matters to come up will be
 tnc election of a chancellor, Dr. Park CT having consented to serve only un- til the present commencement. Bishop Warren A. Candler resigned the chan cellorship some months ago, his res igna tion being accepted in keeping with the promise of the trustees that he be permitted to retire and devote his entire time to the duties of bishop as soon as the university, had grown to such proportions that it demanded the univided attention Of one man at its head. The trustees Friday also heard reports of Treasurer Walker White and the head master of the Elm ory University Academy, Dr. J. A. Sharp Asa c. Candler presided as president.
 Chancellor Parker's report showed that in the session of 1917-1S the total enrolment for all departments aggre- gated 5I2. This increased to 692 for the session of 191S-19. During the past year the actual number of students after eliminating duplicate matricula- tions due to the transfer of students from one division to another, totaled 1,240. Of these, 279 were in the acad- emy, leaving virtually 1000 students actually in the university proper ir Atlanta. Because of the tremendous growth of the university Chancellor Parker recommended an additional dormitory and new teaching building, Dr. Parker announced that there are over seventy graduates this year. He announced the opening of the summe, school on June 23, to continue until August 30.
 The chancellor was especially en- tliusiastic in commenting the reserve officers training corps, under direction of Col James A. Lynch.
 The commencement exercises will open with the university reception Saturday night. The baccalaureate sermon will be preached Sunday morn l ing by Bishop w. N. Ainsworth, for mer president of Wesleyan College Bishop Warren A. Candler will preach at the evening service. | Monday, alumni day. will witness nu-

for the Marine Corps were pro- noted from the ranks. These off, cers, by their efficiency and valor, have so amply demonstrated the wisdom of developing the officer material among the enlisted men. that the system has been adopted as a permanent feature of the service. Any man who has the makings of an officer in him stands an excellent chance of ris- ing rapidly through the non-com- missioned grades of corporal and sergeant and graduating" into a second lieutenant After that he has the same opportunity of att taining still higher rank as any graduate of the Naval Academy.
 In addition, some Marines arc selected each year to take the four-year course at Annapolis, upon completion of which they are immediately commissioned second lieutenants of Marines or ensigns in the Navy.
 When we remember that there is one on-commissioned officer to every seven men no one who is of average ability and applies himself can expect to remain a private for very long.
 The Marine at Work and Play
 Many people have the idea that the service is life of hard work, long hours and harsh discipline. Nothing was ever further from the truth.
 There is work to be done in the Marine Corps. But it is good,

 reveil1e and swore to murder the bugler. We all "groused" at the chow and whetted our bayonets for the cooks. Oh. yes, full packs rubbed the skin off our shoulders. But
 Remember those days when we were fit as fiddles, could eat the hind leg off a table and enjoy it, could lick our weight in wildcats, and weren't afraid to say so? And remember the buddies who bunked with us, hiked with us, scrapped with us. took all our money. bum med our tobacco. called us bad names and-would give us the shirts off their backs if we asked 'em? Somehow civil life doesn't often give us friends like that. The 1 man who has never done a hitch 1 in the service has missed a lot Isn't that so?
 And for any man who is looking for service-all sorts, kinds, con ditions and varieties of service the Marine Corps is the one best bet. The Marine is soldier and sailor, too" When the big ships go to sea the Marines go with them. Be- fore the Marine has a chance to get tired of sea-going he is landed at Haiti or Honolulu, China or the Philippines
 Opportunity for travel and ad- venture is only one of the things that the Marine Corps affords. In this branch of the service a man finds unusual facilities for physical and mental development. The Ma rine Corps makes an ordinary man into real husky"
 And there are all manner of trades that may be learned in the corps. Every day ex-Marines are, immediately upon discharge, step ping into well-paid civilian jobs { that range from that of aviator to that of cook. And, as every one | knows, an honorable discharge from the Marine Corps is the best ! letter of recommendation any one can have. It is. in fact, United States Government certificate which stamps the possessor as 'in- spected and passed as an honest. loyal and capable man. who has learned to use his head and his haESds-and use them to the best advantage"

 'Two battalions of Marines for immediate service in Haiti" Not long ago that call went out from the U. s. Marine Recruiting Bureau. Within ten days those two battalions were recruited, equipped and ready to shove off. And every man in those outfits was a former soldier, sailor or Marine. They found civil life too tame.
