WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. q
There's an amusing story about
the Army finally getting around
to resembling the rule-75 years
late-requiring a recruit to have
strong, opposed incisor teeth.
A check of the Army's musty
records disclosed that the rule
did have some meaning once.
way back when the infantrymen
were equipped with muzzle load
ing rifles and paper powder
cartridges. They needed their
snappers then to bite off the
tops of the paper cartridges for
quick reloading, and loss of the
teeth was ample reason for re-
lection of the rookie.
However, all actual need for
cartridge biting incisors passed
when the breechloading rifle
adopted, but the regulation re-
NAMED on the books until this
year, when it was decided that
a rookie didn't need any teeth,
provided he had synthetic chop
pers able to masticate his chow
properly.
What makes the cartridge bit
ing tooth rules long retention
even more incredible is the fact
that an official Army publication
in 1875 pointed out that "ad-
vanceS in military science" such
as the ,breech-loader, permitted
service of recruits barred before
that time, and specifically men
toned the outmoded need for
cartridge gnawing.
Rookie Needn't Be Adonis
incidentally, the Army has
found that rookie needn't be
Adonis to make fine soldier. In
the past they've insisted on near
perfection in wind and limb, and
there was huffing and putting
among the old diehards when the
physical rules were relaxed for
experimental training Of under
par rockies.
The experiment succeeded. They
found that one-eyed men, men
with fingers missing and other
minor defects made cracking
good soldiers. Oddly. it was
