Army To Issue
New Induction
Slips In June

WASHINGTON. - Men who
registered last month for selective
service will begin getting their
induction orders early in June,
Secretary Stimson said.
Saying that the army did not
plan to call for induction by age
groups, the secretary said selec-
tive service headquarters n d
War Department officials had
agreed on a plan which in effect
would integrate last months reg
istrants with the men registered
previously, while avoiding the
mechanical difficulties and delays
of reasigning order numbers.
Stimson made it clear that the
original group of registrants would
not be exhausted before calls were
made on the new group, and said
also that there will be no 20
year-old class, 21-year-old class,
and so on, with drafts made on
the younger class until it is ex-
hausted, and then on through the
succeeding classes"
Men in the 20-21 and 37-44 age
groups, who registered February
Is, will be given their order num-
bers on the basis of a national
lottery to be held March II. AS
soon as administrative details of
this process have been completed,
Stimson said, local boards will re-
ceive their quotas for inductions.

enough. Thousands of women, without knowing
it, are missing their chance for loveliness for
these very reasons.
Mrs. Conner's skin is wonderful proof Of
what proper care can do. 81 wouldn't think of
neglecting my 'Mild-Soap' Diet routine. l use

Milder than other famous beauty soaps!
Skin specialists themselves advise a regular

Camay is not just mild-it's actually milder than
the 10 other famous beauty soaps tested That's
why we urge you to go on the Camay mild

professor of home economics at
Michigan State Normal College, has
been selected by the Washtenaw
County Committee for Nutrition
to take charge of the class in ,nutri-
ton held Monday evenings at Ypsi-
lanti High School.
Miss Underbrink has also been
asked to serve as one of the two
nutritionists on committee to
study nutrition problems on the
campuses of the universities and
colleges OF Michigan. The need for
this committee has grown out of
tests given TO men students who
enlisted for service and for women
students who volunteered for differ
ent phases of defense service and
were found to be physically unfit.
The members of this committee
have been appointed by the Mich
igan Nutrition Defense Program.
The Home Economics Club of the
Normal College has been asked by
this committee to prepare menus
on two levels-a low and a medium
for two weeks for a family group.
This project is to include in add
ton to menus, market orders, and
tested recipes.

For skilled LaborerS

SAN DIEGO, Gallup Skilled
personnel to man San Diego's
s10,000000 tuna fishing fleet is
the object OF a nationwide search
by the American Tunaboat Asso-
citation. President Charles A. Ian
ders announced.
The fishing fleet has lost so
many men to the armed services
and national defense industries
that many Of the ships are tied up
for lack OF skilled crews. Landers
revealed. Engineers, nav gators
and radiomen are at a premium.
Tunaboat offic ais said that on
each large tunaboat there is re-
quirement for up to six skilled
men, including a master. naviga-
tor, chief engineer. radioman and
assistant engineers. II is in these
classif'cations that the shortage
have developed.
The association has offered TO
mount guns on the larger boats
and to make them available TO the
navy as scouting units. These
boats enter many inlets and could
be very valuable in reporting what
they see. Landers said.

Optical Figures Mistaken
For Secret Code Words

SCOTT FIELD, Ill.-INS-This
story made the rounds here recent
ly among Air Corps cadets:
a few weeks ago, Cadet Carter
Glass III, who has since been com
missioned as a second lieutenant
received mysterious telegram al
the post from his home town in
Virginia. Knowing what the mes
sage was about, he did not call for
it at the post headquarters on the
day it arrived.
Next day a military messenger
pounded at Glass barracks door,
and he was escorted TO the post
office. Officers with furrowed
brows pointed to telegram on the
desk and asked:
Can you explain this telegram ?
Our code experts have gone over
It for hours and they can't make
a thing out OF 1t.
The telegram contained the fol-
lowing message: Right, minus 225
plus Axis SIS. Left minue 225
plus Axis IS. Feb. s."
Greatly relieved, Glass said
That's only a prescription for my
eyeglasses"
Young Glass, grandson OF Sen
ator Carter Glass of Virginia, wears
rather thick glasses.
