According to a telegram received
yesterday at Fourth Corps Area head
quarters from the adjutant generals
Office in Washington, the number Of
candidates so far authorized to take
the final examination for appointment
as officers in the regular army is very
small and not sufficient to fin the va
cancies authorized in the grade of first
lieutenant. There is still opportunity,
therefore, for some young men who
are successful in the examination tC
be promoted to this grade almost im-
mediately after acceptance. The pre-
Iiminary examinations close August
18th. They are principally physical
in character and may be taken upon
apslication to the commanding officer
of the nearest military post or station.
Their object is to select officer mate
rial from a moral educational and
physical standpoint.
Preliminary examinations are now
being held at all military posts and
stations in the United States and
close August 18th. Candidates must
be at least 20 years and nine months
of age. Special provision is made for
members of the regular army, nation
al guard and officers reserve corps
Application to take the examination
may be made to the commanding on
Ger of any military post or station.
Candidates who pass the examina-
ton viii be authorized to appear be
fore the final boards on August 22nd-

THE MOUNT DORA TRAGEDY
(Eustis Lake Regionl

Mrs. Viola Thorp, "a years old, wife
of John S. Thorp. prominent jeweler,
of Eustis and Mount Dora, and little
daughter, Bernice, three years old,
were drowned in Lake Gertrude, which
is logateG between Eustis and Mount
Dora, some time during the early fore
noon of August 9th. The bodies were
discovered BY the husband and DR.. H.
T. Fem about daylight Wednesday
morning, Avg. 10. The body of the
little girl was floating on the lake and
that of the mother was recovered later
from about ten feet of water. They
were clad only in bathing suits when
found and, according to the husband,
had been in the habit Of going in
bathing once, and sometimes twice,
daily. Mrs. Thorp's face was consid-
erably mutilated by turtles, which
fact was responsible for the theory of
murder which was at first rumOred.
The face of the little girl was also
somewhat mutilated.
Mr.. Thorp. who works in his Mount
Dora jewelry store. left home early IN
the morning and, as is his custom,
did not return for lunch. Returning
late in the afternoon and finding his
wife and baby missing he notified the
neighbors and search was instituted.
A driver of grocery truck delivered
an order of groceries to the home
about 10:30 in the forenoon and Mrs.
Thorp was not at home at that time.
Later in the day some of the neigh
bors called and there was no one at
home, which leads to the belief that
they were drowned early in the morn
ing.

NATIONAL PERIL
Public HEALTH Service Gives Good
Reason for Investigation of the
Possible Plague

Washington, Aug. IA review of
federal health activities during the
past year issued today by the public
health service contains reafirmation
by Surgeon General Cummin that
pellagra "has given indications of be-
coming dangerous owing to economic
depression among farmers and espe-
cially among tenant cotton growers of
the South" These people. the review
says, thave been rendered practically
penniless by the condition of the cot
ton market and are forced to live on
salt pork, corn bread and molasses,
which when eaten exclusively for a
few months is almost certain to cause
pellaRra."

.COE CUTS OUT A
.PERNICIoUS CUSTOM

Miami, Aug. 12.-The giving of
presents or commissions to city en-
ployes or department heads as a
means of obtaining business by firms
dealing in supplies used by the city
will not be countenanced by Col. C. S.
Coe, Miami's new city manager. This
declaration resulted from two things
that came personally to the notice of
Mr.. Coe during the last few days.
One was an obvious attempt to inf1u-
ence him, he said, by subtly offering
some furnishings for his Office in
connection with an order for certain
commodity. The other was an effort
by a local firm to employ relative
as MIR Goes as agent for company
selling equipment used by the city and
to advance him commission of $500.
"I am serving notice right now on
all sellers of supplies that three
things only will enter into the pur-
chase of supplies hereafter by the city
of Miami" said Col. Coe. "Those
three things are quality, price and
time of delivery.
"I do not care anything about what
past procedure may have been. ] am
determined that supplies for the city
shall be purchased on the points l
have named and it is going to do no
good for anyone to try to get by lon
any ether basis"
In discussing the offer of furnish
ings Mr. Coe said that during consid-
Grafton of certain commodity. of
which the city uses a large quantity,
the agent of company handling the
material remarked that "you viii want
some furnishings in your new Office
and we would be glad to furnish GER
tain things toward equipping it.
