Illness in Camps
Still Problem In Guard

The National Guard Bureau Of
the War Department is still con-
fronted with the problem Of insult
dcient physical examinations given
enlisted personnel Of the Guard be-
fore sending them to their annual
field encampments for training, ac-
cording to Mai. Gen. Albert H.
Blandins, chief of the bureau. While
he said that there has been some
improvement many regimental COM
manders are still not paying the
proper attention to such examina-
tions.
Chronic cases, 1t was pointed out,
should be eliminated before the field
training period, and not allowed to
reach camp through lax measures.
These cases, 1t was added, entail q
tremendous amount Of work in the
bureau and further improvement is
held to be desirable.
Guard officers who have had sick
cases In their organizations In camp,
have found that in many instances
the organization is affected by the
loss Of the man, but furthermore
there is continual and voluminous
correspondence rs to whether he Is
entitled to disqualification and COM
pensation In such cases which could
have been eliminated, prior to the
encampment, by q thorough physical
examination.
However, 1t was pointed out,
usually In the PREPARATION Of troops
the camp whole companies are run
through the Medical Department
which is organized to take care Of
ordinary cases, and the problem Of
giving every man q very thorough
physical test would consume much
more time than can be given. It was
explained that In many instances
dependence must be placed on the
statements Of the men, any many
of them conceal q poor state Of
health In their anxiety to go to
camp, in the hope that they will be
able to Withstand the rigors Of field
life. But the bureau omcials keep
hapmering at the importance of the
pre-camp physical tests, and it il
probable that some means will be
devised to cut down on the number
Of disqualification cases which occur
during the encampment periods in
the summer.

New York, Sept. 1 amp
What sort of Aperson is this Thorn
as E. Dewey, a man whom half
a dozen years ago scarcely anyone
knew, but whose name today Is
spoken by millions of people OF
every race and creed? Rarely has
a personality impressed itself up
on the thinking of an entire ma
tion in so brief a time as has that
of this fighting district attorney
of New York county.
The American public loves a
fighter, one who has courage and
the brains to battle against great
odds. When such a man in add
ton, despite the ties and restralns
which a big city political office
imposes, has the integrity and
"guts" to go up against n OF
the most highly organized group
of racketeers in the country, back
ed by a political machine like
Tammany, with power so great 1t
is legendary, it is but natural that
the entire country should regard
such an individual as having un-
usual potentialities for leadership.

Handsome, even. better looking

forcefulness of a %go-getter. Rosy
ccmplex'oned, sharp noxed, brown
eyes which are challenging yet
friendly, he wears a heavy brown
mustache, as much to make him
appear older as for any other
reason YOU suspect. Once he starts
talking however, asking incisive
questions, showing by his comment
a wide knowledge of current af-
fairs, a broad general philosophy
and an understanding of the in
tricate problems which affect
racial minorities, one realizes that
here is a man of tremendous force
and ability. The question of years
is banished.
"Tihere is no room for prejudice
in a great cosmopolitan city like
New York, with it's many diverse
populations, nor in an office such
as this" Mr.. Dewey asserted. 81
