First F rom 1-B Class
Called Into Service
Harold ". Gordon May be
Initial 5th Registrant
to be Indicted.

The first of the 1-B men
formerly deferred from mill
tary service but now reclassi-
fed will leave here Sunday,
Aug. 2, for induction at Fort
Smelling.
AS the local draft district
began drawing on this reese
voir of men some of whom are
now eligible for military train
ing, it assigned draft order
numbers for the new regis
trants.
Harold N. Gordon, 20 years old,
is the first of this new group eligible
for induction.
This morning the second contingent
of selectees for July left for Fort
Smelling where they will be given
their final examinations, and, if &C
cepted, will be sworn into the army
and sent home on 14-day furlough.
Three former 1-B men now in Ia
compose the initial call drafting these
selectees into service. They are:
Ernest Mattson, Embarrass.
Louis S. Jamnik, Soudan.
Joseph L. Popesh, Ely.
They will be given their final ply
steal examinations at Fort Smelling
Aug. 8, and, if accepted, presumably
will receive a two-weeks' furlough
before going into active service. They
will leave here Aug. at BIS p. m.
Men in both class 1-B and class
AZ who have not had their SCREEN
ing examinations are now being given
these physical tests by the local dis
trict's physicians
If their physical defects no longer
defer them from military service, they
will be placed in la classification and
will be drawn upon to fill the districts
quotas.
The new registrants who have just
been assigned order numbers will be
sent missionaries if they are over
20 years of age. Those under this
age will not receive questionnaires
until they reach 90 The first of the
questionnaires will go into the mails
soon.
OF the first ten now eligible for
service, seven are from this city.
All are 20 years of age.
They, and others in the new group,
are classified for service according to
their ages, and were assigned order
numbers and will be indicted in this
order.
The order numbers begin with the
next highest after the last for the
third registrants, which is 1O715. Thus
Gordon received order number 10716.
Order numbers and names of the
first 10 follow (the entire list, not
available at mid-week, will be printed
next week.:
10716-Harold N. Gordon, Ely.
1O7l7-Kenneth D. Smith, Ely.
10718-Anthony T. Poderzay, Soudan.
10719-Paul A. Jokinen, Embarrass.

Every Hiker Needs
Supply of Matches
Made Waterproof
BY ID. H. ELSOM.

Besides his regular supply of
matches, every camper and hiker
should carry in some safe pocket a
small box of waterproof matches.
If you carry only ordinary matches,
a sudden ducking or a heavy rain
may ruin your whole supply of
matches and leave you with no
means of making fire.
And a camper or hiker without
means of making fire is in very
uncomfortable condition, indeed. II
the weather turns suddenly cold, or
YOU are drenched to the skin by a
rainstorm, a campfire will prove to
be your best friend, and to be with
out means of making a lire may
mean serious damage to your health.
If you have your little box of
waterproof matches. you will never
need to worry. The way to prepare
these matches is as follows:
Heat some paraffin very gently in
q pan, until it is just barely melted.
DO not get 1t hot, just warm enough
to melt. Then dip the head of each
match into the parafnn, draw it out
and let it harden. The paraffin will
encase the head of the match in a
coating which will keep out water,
but which will not prevent striking
the match.

Collecting glass dolls has been my
hobby ever since I can remember.
Now I have 314 of them in my COL
lection. They range in height from
about l inch to AZ inches. Besides
boy and girl dolls, 1 have all the
story-book characters-Mickey and
Minnie Mouse, Pinocchio, Snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs, the
Three Little Kittens, Puss-in-B Boots
Red Riding Hood, the Prince, the
Three Little Pigs, and Popeye.
Most OF my dolls are American
girls and boys, but among them are
dolls representing different coun-
tries. I have Is Dutch dolls, 4 Irish
dolls, 2 Indian dolls, l Spanish doll,
2 Russian dolls, 2 Chinese dolls and
l English doll.
Each doll has different name,
and since I can't remember them
all, I keep a written record of them
In notebook, which I call my Doll
Record" This is how it works: A
number is written on the back of
each doll. Then, across from that
dolls number in my record book,
is given its name, age and family.
Most of my dolls are divided into
regular families or groups.
Three years ago, I was given a
large dollhouse. In this dollhouse
live my best dolls-the Popover fam
lily. There is Mr.. and Mrs. Popover,
not glass, but human rubber" and
they may be bent to sit down, dance
and hold things; Velvetina, l3;
Bobby IA; Edith and Rita, the twins,

house has seven rooms and is COM
pletely furnished, with electric lights
in each room, rugs on the floors, and
pictures and mirrors on the walls.
1t contains many miniatures, from
a tiny telephone to a birthday cake

worked material from which innu-
merable clever and useful objects
can be made. So get out your tools
and start looking over your lumber
supply .. it's wood for the dura-
| ton!
Just to get your started on this
hobby, three simple wood working
| projects are suggested. Qnci-
dentally, girls, these suggestions are
for you, tooD
Bicycle Garage.
The first project is a garage for
your bicycle. No more improvised
storage spaces for your bike! 1t can
be parked in special garage of its
own.
The most convenient place to
build the bicycle garage is alongside
the garage in which the family car
is kept. The side of that building
forms one wall of the bike" ga
rage. (See illustration)
The framework for the shed can
be made from scrap Grating lumber,
as the largest pieces need only to be
2x2 inches. If desired, the garage
can be floored A door that can be
locked is needed. The roof should
be pitched slightly away from the
inside wall to permit proper drainage.
Here are some suggested dimen-
sions for the bike garage:
Length, "a inches: width, -
inches; height inside wall, SO inches;
height outside wall, 80 inches.
/" A building of the size given will
house your bike very nicely.
For the Laundry.
The next project to be described
is one that will please your mother.
1t is a clothes cage"
If you live in a house that has a
clothes chute. very likely you have
placed an open basket at the bottom
of the chute to catch the dirty
clothes. Often the basket becomes
! filled, and socks, shirts and towels
spill on the basement tloor-con-
venient foT the pup to get hold of.
The clothes cage will keep the
laundry off the basement floor until
| it is ready for washing.
The cage can be made from an
average-size wooden packing box
| Saw the SIDES of the box into strips
an inch ana a half in width. Nail
these strlps around the end of the
clothes chute, leaving an inch space
between each strip. The clothes cage
must be ventilated, or soiled clothing
will mildew in damp weather.
The bottom of the case can be
made Of q solid piece of wood
perhaps one of the ends of the pack
ing box. The strips forming one side
of the cage must be fashioned into
a simple door or gate Equipped
with hinge and screen-door hook
latch, tlis side of the cage can he
swung open to remove the clothes.
Sorting Table.
BY way Of variation. the gate can
be made to swing downward and a
leg fastereu on it. BY this means,
the gate Of the clothes cage becomes
sorting table for the home laundry.

With restless tread, he walked
before
The cowed and trembling mares
That circled near behind him
With frightened, helpless stares.
They saw the stallion halt before
Their silent, huddled group:
They heard him send the challenge
forth
To him that was aloof.
They saw his trembling nostrils,
His wavy chestnut name;
They saw the curving glory
OF his neck that knew no rein.
They saw the proud eyes flashing
AS he stood bit apart;
They saw his flowing muscles,
The courage of his heart.
They saw his chestnut body,
Not under stable roofs,
His streaming tail and fetlocks,
The terror of his hoofs.
What need they fear when he was

Uainst danger he was proof.

Enterprising Youth

Warren Cassidy, IA, of Ogden,
Utah, has developed a money
making idea which, with slight
change, could be adopted with profit
by Washington boys and girls. He
paints house numbers on curb
stones.
Right now, many householders
here are placing their numbers in
the rear of their homes as we'll as
in front. The purpose is, OF course,
to make it easier for AFRAID war
dens to identify the houses when
patrolling alleys during blackouts.
Warren began his enterprise by
buying set of house numbers from
/ to 10, a can each OF yellow and
black paint and a couple OF brushes.
Then he made canvass OF his
neighhorhood, soliciting orders. He
earned $11 in q week.
II put the numbers matching the
number Of the house on top OF the
curb" Warren writes. Then
paint all around them with yellow,
leaving the numbers unpainted.
These are finished in black. Thus,
the finished job consists Of black
numbers against q yellow back
ground. And, Of course, ! do the
same thing On the front of the curb"
Warren also has a workshop at
home, In which he earns additional
mbney by making furniture with
power and hand tools.

When I awoke the next glad day
I carelessly went on my way;
The whole day through, didn't try
To wipe tear from any eye.
Then. when the sun had felt the

I myself sat down to cry
To think of all the things I'd done
To hurt myself and every one.
I then repented my misdeeds
And asked the Lords forgiveness,

Those Little Habits.

The other day I heard of a
businessman who, in choosing
the man among his employees
who was to be promoted to be
the head of a department, re-
fused to consider the most logi-
cal candidate for the job.
II won't let Smith manage
part of my business for me" he
explained, because I've found
out he's a poor manager as far
as his personal affairs are con-
cerned. He wouldn't be any
more careful of my money than
he is of his own"
There's an important thought
in that incident for every boy
and girl. Sometimes we think
our own little personal habits
don't matter. But they do. be-
cause they are unerring indi-
Gators of our characters.
If you waste the little money
you now have to spend, the
money itself is not important,
but the habit you are forming
of being irresponsible and care
less is of very great importance.
People are judged by these little
things, and usually such judg-
ments are correct.

Mary E. Anderson. first published
In 1895, John Smith described his
visit to the cliffs in these words:
mot finding any inhabitants; yet
the coast we'll watered, the noun
tains very barren, the vallies very
fertil, but the woods extreame
thicke full of Woolves, Beares,
Deare and other wild beast"
The cliffs were probably renamed
later, after Leonard Calvert, first
colonial governor of Maryland.
In parts, the sides of the cliffs
are free from growth of any sort
where, during the past centuries,
the rise and fall of tides, together
with the gradual lowering of the
water-level. have revealed in the
soil the shells and bones of ancient
sea animals. These fossils lie in
layers which were probably formed
by the lowering of the sea level, as
one can also see its stages. Very
often, scientists visit the cliffs to
study these strange relics. =
Below the cliffs, on the beach,
we often found sharks teeth which
had been washed in by the waves.
Once, while exploring the beach.
we found a huge tooth. Believing
1t to be a sharks tooth, we were
very surprised to hear from an old
sea captain that it was probably a
whales tooth.
There wasn't much going on at
the beach this summer. During
the day, we went canoeing, fishing
cat which I had quite bit of
luck), or rowing. At night, crowd
of us kids would get together down
ct a store not far from our cottage
and dance to the music of the juke-
box records or play cards. But
mostly, we ate.
We met loads of swell people and
all had swell time, but coming
down the old "home stretch" felt
mighty good to all of us.
