With the task of organizing the
national machinery of the draft re-
ported five days ahead of sched-
ule, funds to finance the army
of 100000 which is to be in the
field by next summer were author
lied in the last of series of defense
appropriation bills.
Bill Carries SI,482, 693, 1863.
The bill, which President Roose-
welt signed yesterday, carries ST.
4s2 ,693 1863.
Of this sum the Army gets ST.
248 100000 in cash and s150,0O0 900
in contractual authorizations, the
Navy SIS 100000 in cash and $780,
900 in contractual authorizations.
The measure brings up to Sl2,-
100000 the outlay for the Army
and the Navy approved at this ses-
sion of Congress.
The last of the bills on the present
schedule contains in the provision
of $3.50 TIA ,562 for Army pay a clause
that this shall not be subject ito
any limitation on the enlisted
strength of the Army"
Army to Accept Enlistments.
1t was reported on Capitol Hill
that the War Department plans to
keep the Regular Armys enlisted
strength at around 100000 by con-
tinuing to accept three-year enlist
ments after the draft begins.
Selective Service headquarters en-
phasized that the draft is not going
to interfere with regular recruiting,
and that man can still enlist up
to the time he is indicted by the
draft.
Until the time of actual induction
into the armed forces of the Nation
under the Selective Service Act. ="
said statement, ANY man affected
by its provisions may volunteer for
and be accepted into the regular
or reserve forces of the Army, Navy
or Marine Corps, under the recruit
ing regulations prescribed by these
three branches of the service"
Selective Service officials pointed
out that the primary objective of
the act is to develop a force of we'll
trained regulars and reservists, and
training received in the three
branches of the armed forces under
regular enlistments would conform
to this objective.
Policy Outlined.
Officials reiterated their policy of
permitting volunteering under the
Selective Training and Service Act
Although the present policy pre-
vents the Navy and Marine Corps
from accepting volunteers for one
year, any man between the ages of
l8 and IS inclusive may volunteer
for the Army, either at recruiting
station or through local boards, for
one years training and service. Men
indicted in this manner would fulfill
the requirements for training and
service set forth in the act.
Navy and Marine enlistments are
for longer periods than one year.

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Few birds are as courageous as
the thrasher. Indeed, this name has
been given to them because they
make an effort to thrash any one
who dares to intrude upon their
privacy or to despoil their home. The
father is so determined to protect
his wife and family, that he tries
his best to use his sharp curved bill
on you. With such fury behind the
fighter, he can infict a serious wound
If he strikes your face. This is not
something to chalk up against the
charming singer. He is doing what
any devoted father would do if an
enemy bore down upon him.
The brown thrasher has a very
lovely voice and the love song is
one of the sweetest in the spring
chorus. There are times he will
initiate the song of the catbird and
bring in some of its harsh notes.
1t you will listen to the brown
thrasher you will see that some of
the notes are so clear they resemble
those of the violin, flute. clarionet
and piccolo. From aalofty broad
casting platform the thrasher sends
forth his exquisite song and this
solo seems to be for the world at
large. How wonderful it would be
to tune in on some of these singers
of an early morning or late evening
and hear it in all its beauty, rather
than the disturbing jazz we are
subjected to.
Have you noticed how very much
the thrasher's long tail is used to
emphasize his emotions? When the
singer is at his best the tail swings
low, his feathers seem to lift in
dlvidually, making the performer
appear twice his size. The bill is
opened wide, the head thrown back
and the music seems to pour from
his throat as if there could hardly
be enough time to render all the
praise the thrasher wished to ex-
press
Thrashers can be said to benefit
neighbors as they are very fond of
insects, though they are equally
fond of berries and fruit. 1t must

A modern up-to-date pumping
and filtration plant will be in
stalled to purify the water in the
swimming pool. Chemicals are add
ed to the circulating water daily,
which positively counteracts any
contamination or impurities which
may get into the pool during its
use. Clean filtered and purified
water is continuously added while
being drained at the same time,
practically unnoticeable One of
the most common impurities to be
removed, is human hair and it
also causes a great deal of me-
chanical trouble in The filters.
Therefore, all women and girls will
be requested to wear bathing caps
while in the pool. The tempera-
ture of the. water will be around

thermostat. This means. summer
