ALL AFTER RECRUITS
Post Regiments Wants Organization
Up to Peace Time Strength.

Peace time strength is the goal toward
which each regiment at Fort Sam Hous.
ton is striving. At this time The First
Infantry, under the command of Col
Edward A. Shuttleworth, is nearer
that mark than any of its rivals. The
Twentieth Infantry, commanded by Col.
Arthur l.. Conger, and the Ninth In
fantry, commanded by Col. Robert o.
Van Horn, are running close second.
The First Infantry lacks less than so
men of having full peace time strength,
and with the rate its recruiting officers
have been bringing in recruits for the
past few weeks, it is only matter of
days until the desired goal attained
Last Friday recruiting party of the
Ninth Infantry, under Second Lieut.
James c. Fry, came in with sixteen APP
plicants for enlistment. All of the six
teen men, however, are not for the
Ninth Infantry, as some of them will be
stationed with the Twelfth Field Ar
tillery. While on the recruiting trip
the Ninth Infantry officer with his as
sstants canvassed in Taylor, Temple,
Waco. HillsborO and Corsicana, Tex.
Practically all sixteen recruits are from
the smaller towns of North and East
Texas.
The First Infantry constantly keeps
two recruiting parties out, which is
probably the cause of its success in

TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU ! THE AGEHERAED !
 

Matters reached heated climax in the business session here Thursday of the Epworth League assembly when the committee on policy submitted recommendation to take over the ownership and control of Northwest High school, which Is located at Ha- leyville, Ala. The resolution did not come before the house until the busi- ness session was more than half over, but aroused such intense interest that all motions to adjourn were over whelmingly defeated and another mo- tion to extend the time for the ses- sion 30 minutes longer instantly car ried. The delegates appeared to be about equally divided on the question, with each faction equally determined d to carry its issue.

A motion to adopt was made and sec onded immediately. Following the report number of people sprang in- stantly to the floor, shouting to the chair, but William l..

RENT HOGS GIVEN "HA, HA" AS TENT CITIES SPRING UP
Thousands Of Detroit Families Live Under Canvas As
 Rents Rise

DETROIT, Mich, June 7.-Three thousand families are tenting tonight on the outskirts of Detroit, giving the bird to profiteering landlords.
 Tent cities reminiscent of boom times in southwestern oil fields and far western mining camps are spring ing up around the entire city. De- troit has not struck oil: neither has it struck pay dirt. but prosperity and the usual symptoms of boom times have struck Detroit.
 Housing facilities have been taxed beyond capacity and the only re- course for those unable to find a house is the tents. Pup tents, camp ing tents, army tents and all other kinds of tents are being utilized and the little tent cities have coagulated naturally.
 Ban On Children
 Landlords, taking advantage of the influx of population following the in- creased productiCn n in the automobile industry here, have boosted rents and frightened the restrictions against children, knowing there are plenty of people waiting for their rooms and apartments at the maximum price.
 Thus the poorer families, unable to pay increased rents, have in many cases. been driven into the open, and the tent cities have become the only haven for the working man and his family. Many of the tenters plan tC "tent" all winter.
 These "cities" have been settled on all sides a- the city. The largest are ,lr,, ha ri n ro6 in h. urbs and are made up of from 100 to 800 tenting families each. Tent stores and canteens have been hurriedly put up in the midst of each city.
 o O O
 Many isuy Lots
 Many of the tenters are buying one or two small lots on the install ment plan and plan to live in the tents until the lots are paid for and then build" Their present dwell- ings are not palatial, but there are no ard-faced landlords in the back ground.
 Typical of the tent families found by reporter Is that of Alfred Tay- Tor, an employe at the Ford River Rouge plant. Taylor, his wife and two small children had been renting two rooms for $12.50 weekly, which were boosted to SIS early in the pres perity wave. Taylor couldn't pay it,, so he bought two lots in the Grand river district on the installment plan and ridge tent.
 We'll live in the tent until we can build little home," Taylor said. Its cool in summer and fairly warm In winter, so We won't have to suffer. We are better off out here and the children are happy because they can play on the open ground without fear of automobiles"
