NAVY APPLICANTS now
ENTITLED TO A CHANCE

Navy applicants who have found
the physical examination too exact
ing, are now offered another chance
to enlist in the United States Navy,
with new Bureau of Personnel regu-
lations changing requirements in a
manner which will make it possible
for thousands who have been rejected
as Navy material to enter upon a
Navy career.
The changes, as announced by Lieu
tenant Warmee, officer in charge of
Navy Recruiting for the state of
Maryland, are in regard to portions
of the physical examination relating
to the teeth, the eyes, the weight and
height of the applicants.
The requirements have been
changed considerably, and all appli-
cants who have been rejected for any
physical difficulty, are urged to try
again, by applying at their local Navy
Station.

VERY PAINFULLY BURNED

The usual serenity of Somerset's
County Seat, Princess Anne, was dis
turbed on Wednesday morning by an
explosion that came near to calling
on all the defense preparations which
the citizens have been making, in
case the long predicted bombings
should materialize.
But the alarm was not connected
with hostile airplanes, nor was the
town being shelled by war ships that
in some way, might be throwing them
from miles-away waters. Investiga-
ton soon showed that the blast had
come from the Maryland Herald
newspaper building, and it was of a
rather serious nature.
The seat of the trouble was in the
casting box, located in the cellar,
