the following changes have
been made.
/. Men without prior ser
vice, from the ages of 18
years to 30 years, are enlist
ed Immediately if in good
health, unmarried. and able
to obtain good character re-
ferences.
Ex-Marines who have

the rank held on the date Of
last previous discharge.
3. Ex-Army, Navy, and
Coast Guard men are re-
enlisted up to 35 years of
age.
4. Dental requirements
have been lowered. Men

be enlisted if their mouth is
otherwise healthy, and there
is no immediate dental at
tention required.
5. A new stream lined
dr;ll' has been adopted. and
the old squads right aboli-
she'd. Since this new type
drill has been placed in use,
it is possible to train a re-
cruit in a maximum of 20
days, without loss Of eff
ficiency.
6. Members of the Fleet
Marine Corps Reserve (men
transferred to Reserve after
16 or 20 years service) may
Je assigned to immediate
active service upon their
own request.
7. Recruiting stations have
been opened in Fresno, and

Phoenix, Arizona. The Re-
cruiting District Headquar-
tcrs for these stations is in
Los Angeles, California. APP

where the enlistment is com
pleted. From Los Angeles
they are transferred, with
out delay, to San Diego,
California, for further train
ing and further transfer to

liant and successful fight to have
special provision included in the
National Defense Act which di-
reefs that Negro air pilots shall

MI. Brown with superb tact, fault

which has been demonstrated by
few leaders, kept relentiessly on
tho job until victohy was won.
Instead of resting IN his oars.
Mr.. Brown has already launched
a new fight to achieve the same

Navy. He has already appeared be-
fore the Senate COMMITTEES on
Naval Affairs, and received, ae-
cording to the printed record Of
the hearings, q respectful audience
and made a fine impression.
The new fight is to have the law
direct that the Secretary of the
Navy order the training of Color

course we hope that Mr.. Brown
wins again. 1t is a ace fight, and
the race needs this new victory.

DO YOU REMEMBER


I told you last week how some
people place a bet ,n two horses
in the same race with great sue
cess. It ian be done. Horses to
watch are recently claimed horses.
They are the best horses to watch
az only fit horses are claimed. A
trainer makes a claim only when
they feel they are Citing a bar
gain. Horses that have been claim
cd often pay for themselves the
first time they race under the
coh,r of the new wne Therefore
these horses should be followed at
least three times or until they
win
Frequently q claimed horse is
shipped to another track. Watch
entries carefully at all tracks 0
horses that have been claimed.
The most hated person on a race
track is a clocker Its of times a
cIocker stops a horse owner from
making money. That's why they
hate him. A clocker ruins many a
contemplated coup by catching a
sleeper in a last work out ana
broadcast the fact. In may not De
a bit surprising that trainers as a
| rule regards the clocker as tnear
enemies. You wmld too II you
owned a horse.
I was in the Bluffs Tuesday. l
noticed quite a number of the fe-
male sex playing the ponies. Some
was doing right well for them
selves and some we're just geu-
