THERE are few well-tried small
house floor plans that continue
to please and satisfy. This is one
of them. Two average-sized bed
rooms are separated by bathroom
and connected by a short hall.
There is a closet in each bedroom,
in the bathroom and in the hall.
A short archway connects the hall
with the living room, and here too
is a small closet. What joy are
plenty of closets. This four-room
house has ten closets.
The main entranceway passes
through a vestibule that has two
closets. The kitchen has its own
entrance. A door leads directly
from the garage to passageway
between living room and kitchen.
The twenty-five foot living room
faces the garden. There is plenty
of space in one end of this room
for a folding dining table. The
architecture is conservative, and
the house will have good resale
value.

Need for Moss Army, Thus Hurting Industry

vitality needed skilled workers for
airplane plants and shipyards.
Added to this is the circumstance
that for something less than $50, 900
men so far supplied to the Army by
the CONSUMPTION method. 100000
eligibles have been placed on the
anxious seat. 1t is impossible to
measure the slump in productive
efficiency draft worry has occa-
stoned, but o. p. M. officials believe
this is a considerable adverse factor.
The selective service bureaucracy,
including 5000 local boards each
with a complement of clerks, medi-
cal examiners, ETC., is costing more
than $2O, O,000, 900 year to maintain.
Assuming the maximum annual
quota of 100000, each of these
boards would be called on for an
average of less than three draftees
week; actually the average per
board so far has been nearer to
one draftee a week. The reasons
for this slack business, OF course,
are first, the great number Of VOL
untary enlistments and, second, the
shortage of housing and equipment.
If Applied to Industry.
Certainly it is true that II the
same great recruiting organization,
devoted to providing an Army, had
been set up at the same time last
summer to recruit and train skilled
airplane makers and shipbuilders,
the crucial industrial preparedness
program would be much farther ad-
vanced than it is today.
Col Harry C. Kramer, executive
ofIicer of the World War draft and
author Of the present draft law,
was the first to point out its unfit
ness for the purpose OF creating
an Army reserve reservoir, for which
it now is being used. Col. Kramer's
fundamental contention is that the
older the trainees the more rapidly
they evaporate because of marriage,
physical deterioration and other
causes. Six per cent of men are
married at 19 and less than 20 per
cent at 81, but so per cent are
married at 25 and 80 per cent at
IS. Hence, Col. Kramer argues that
the younger the men are trained the
less waste The present draft law,
he says, would be ideal if the need
was for a huge land Army to man
trenches as quickly as possible, but
it is ridiculous from the standpoint
of training men for use in a highly
indefinite future.
Youths Of Is to Is Fought Civil War.
The situations recalls a speech
made by the late Senator Knute
Nelson of Minnesota, himself Civil
War veteran. at the time the World
War draft law was under considera-
ton. Arguing for Is as the mini
mum age, Senator Nelson declared
that "over half Of the Army We had
during the Civil War consisted of
boys Of 49," Specifically, Senator
Nelson said. there we're l04 ,987 who
were Is years old; there were 231 051
who were Is years old: there were
844 98l who were II years old; there
were 1,158,438 who were 18 years
old. OF those % years of age, there
were only 6l8,555; aged 25, there
were only 46,626; aged A, there were
only 1901.

appeared before the Senate Military
Affairs Committee to oppose q bill
offered by Senator Murray, Demo
crat, of Montana to exempt medical
students from the draft until they

Within the week Gen. Hershey ar
gued against blanket deferment OF
physicians and medical students on
the ground that once the business
of releasing Army eligibles In groups
was begun there would be no end

More Drastic Exemption Due.
But on Saturday Gen. Hershey
issued an order instructing all local

cal students and internes who give
reasonable promise Of becoming ac-
ceptable medical doctors"
1t Is authoritatively reported that

a few days will tell the draft boards
to take only unmarried men under
26 years old. thus deferring at one
stroke the whole aged 26 to SO group.
What the Army high command
would like to have done is to drop
the age of compulsory trainees to

Speaker Sam Rayburn announced
last week that the latter plan was
under serious consideration and that
it might include permission for each
