proved today by the Senate Military
Affairs Committee:
About 100000 young men who
have reached their 21st birthday
anniversary and have not passed

register for compulsory military
service.

who had declared their intention of
becoming citizens, local boards un-
der the direction of the President
would select sufficient men to flll
State quotas of trainees fixed by
a director Of selective service to
be appointed by the Chief Executive.

hoped to obtain 100000 such train
ees by October. The President would

Of men to be inducted into either
the land or naval forces by con-
scription.

Local boards would be empowered
to defer training of men whose en-
ployment in industry or agriculture
was essential for the maintenance of
national health, safety or interest.
Ministers of the Gospel, men with
dependents and those physically,
mentally or morally deficient also
would be placed in the deferred class.
Federal and State officials, judges
and members of Congress would be
exempted from training, while men,
bers of the Nations armed forces

THE sHAPE oF THE HEAD

AAAN 0AA<AA A1 WI A AAA1 AAA1AAA|
 Deformity of the newborn irt- fant,s skull from compression dur ing labor disappears as rule by the time the baby is month old.
 The head may become fiattened at the back from the baby'S lying too much upon the back during the first year. It may be corrected by changing the babySs position. Some times the head acquires slight ob- lquity from the baby's habitual po- sition in nursing and sleeping. More often noticeable degree of obli- quity in the shape of the head is present at birth, but this usually disappears by the time the baby is three years old.
 Rickets gives the head of the in- fant over six months old a square appearance, and the head looks larger than normal. The square appearance is due to formation of large bosses over the drontal and pariental bones. The forehead seems too prominent. The skull is actual ly thicker than normal, especially over the frontal eminences.
 Looking down from above upon the head, if the greatest width from ear to ear is more than four-fifths of the greatest length from be- tween the eyebrows to the occipital point the head is shoft or fiat or brachycephalic. If the measure ment from side to side is less than four-f1fths of the measurement

STATE

' If you intend to see the splendid double hit program currently at the Warner Bros. State theater you'll have to hurry as perform ances tomorrow evening positively concludes its engagement. Headlin- ing the bill is Give Us Wings starring the Dead End' Kids with a big cast; also w. c. Fields in his latest comedy success "The Bank Dick"
 And then starting Wednesday the State will usher in another smash double bill with Trail of the Wig ilantes" starring Franchot Tone with Warren William, Broderick Crawford, Andy Devine, Mischa Auer and Peggy Moran as the head liner of the program.
 Surging out of the crimson pages of a lawless era comes this epic story of men and women who lived, loved and died. It is the widest West in all its crimson glory roar ing to throbbing, thrilling life. It's a tale of men turned to madmen, taking law and order and life, into their own hands that the West might live. It is truly as exciting and thrill ing as the old West itself.
 Tone portrays an undercover agent sent to the western frontier by a Kansas City newspaper to hunt down the murderer of a reporter. At first skeptical of cowboys and their ways, the agent finds himself fascinated by ranch life and, after raising experiences, coupled with a romance, he decides to stay.
 William is seen as the crooked head of the cattlemen's association, Crawford portrays rough cowboy who wants to be gentleman like the agent, while Devine and Auer have comedy roles especially adapted to their talents.
 The second big hit brings to the screen the gay musical romance "A Night At Earl Carols with host of stars such as Ken Murray, Lil- lian Cornell, J. Carroll Naish, Rose Hobart, Brenda and Cobina of rad 10 fame and Betty Mclaughlin. In addition to this marvellous cast the film boasts the most beautiful girls in the world.

from front to back, the head is long or dolichocephalic.
 The Teutonic head (German, Scandinavian, Dutch) is generally dolichocephalic, a long head, and the shape of the eyeball follows the shape of the head, so that nyopia (near-sightedneSs) is more or less characteristic of the Teutonic. In- ddans and Negroes generally have brachycephalic or short head and seldom are near-Sighted.
 There is no scientific or other ground for the notion that the shape of the head is an index of in- tellectual capacity, nor has the inc dividual with 8 large head more brains" actually or metaphorically than one with a small head. For instance rickets in infancy or early childhood may cause the head to become actually larger, from thick ening of the skull, and in some inc stances the individuals head re- mains larger than the average throughout life.
