ARRIAGE WILL
NOT KEEP YOUNG
MENOUTSEHVICE
isit to Altar on Eve of Exami-
ation or Induction Won’t Keep
’Em Out, Says Metts
OCAL BOARD INSTRUCTED
This was made clear by General
. Van B. Metts, state director of
lective service, as he announced a
lodification of the former policy of
niency toward married men which
as been recommended by state head-
arters. General Metts stated that
'modification in this policy was made
ecessary by an increasingly large
mber of registrants who are ap-
rently undertaking to abiase the
olicy of leniency in an effort to
»de military service.
The modified policy, which was
ssed on to all selective service agen-
es in the'state today, is as follows:
“When a registrant acquires mar-
ed status after issuance of notice
appear for physical examination,
should , be assumed that both par
es concluded the marriage knowing
at the registrant was subject to
rly call for service and were pre-
red to take the consequences, and
erefore deferment in such cases
uld not appear to be justified. But
hen a .registrant has indicated on
s questionaire that he is engaged,
ving the date set for the wedding,
has given similar information in
riting to the local board and the
edding date falls after issuance of
tice to appear for physical exami-
tion, his case should be considered
'the same way as those who mar-
ed after registration, as provided by
mendment 77 to selective service
gulations.
“Of course, there may be other
nditions which would obviously
mper the above announced modifi-
tion of policy, e. g., proof that the
■fe wag pregnant, or conclusive evi-
ce of absolute dependence wherein
e wife would suffer undue hardship
compelled to live on the regis-
ant’s income as a soldier, etc.”
This modified policy. General Metts
inted out, is in line with a recent
endment to the regulations, which
as follows:
“It is not advisable to defer any
h registrant if he acquired such
atus for the purpose of evading
aining and service, and, therefore,
registrant should be placed in
lass III if he acquired such status
'ter the day when he was required
be registered unless (1) he or
s claimed dependent or dependents
esent to the local board written
atements of the facts peculiarly
ithin their knowledge, showing the
‘story leading up to and the cir-
mstances under which such status
as acquired, and (2) such facts show
at the status of the registrant was
quired in a manner consistent with
e ordinary course of human affairs
d was not acquired to provide the
gistrant with a basis for a claim
r Class III deferment.”
General Metts was cai'eful to point
t that in the application of these
inciples ke anticipates that some
i_stakes will be made. But he.stated
was satisfied that selective service
encies in the state would endeavor
do substantial justice in every in-
‘vidual case.
arrier Pig-eons Trained By
rmy For Messengers
STARTS ON PAGE ONE
using a corps of pigeon-chasing
awks, but, nevertheless, pigeous were
'edited with delivering more than
5,000 messages.
After this war pigeon corps were
tablished as regular units in the
rmy and Navy Intelligence Depart-
ents of most of the European Pow-
The birds were equipped with^
whistles which kept hawks, falcons and
other predatory birds at a distance.
Served in World War
During the World War homing pig
eons carj’ied thousands of messages
back from the front lines on both
sides of no-man’s land, 20,000 birds
being used by the United States Army,
120,000 by the Central Powers and
more than 300,000 by the Entente
Allies.
Famous among the birds used by
the Americans were Cher Ami, “Pres
ident Wilson,” Spike, Mocker and Big
Tom.. Cher Ami was the savior of
the famed Lost Battalion of the Ar-
gonne. Isolated from the rest of the
Seventy-seventh Division, this battal
ion sent bird after bird into the air
only to see each brought down by
German sharp-shooters and machine-
gunners. Cher Ami, the last bird left,
although WQunded in the breast and
minus a leg, finally got through to
Division Headquarters with a message
which gave the exact location of the
lost men and led to their rescue.
“President Wilson,” who lived 11
years after the World War, was as
signed to a tank corps in France and
during a battle in the Marne-Argonne
sector flew through a heavy fog and
rain at a mile-a-minute clip for 21
miles. He delivered his communica
tion which was still tied to his leg.
One of his legs had been shot away.
Another outstanding feathered hero
of World War 1 was Mocker, who
passed on at Fort Monmouth in 1937
at the age of 21 years. Mocker flew
over the fighting lines many times.
During the final push before S’t. Mihiel,
Mocker was hit by a piece of shrap
nel and lost his right eye. . In spite of
this he winged his way to the Amer
ican lines.
The message gave the range on a
German gun which had been hindering
the advance of the American troops.
Twenty minutes after Mocker arrived
with the message, the gun was silenc
ed. Mocker continued to serve the
Army after this and was twice wound
ed. The Distinguished Service Cross
and the Croix de Guerre were awarded
Mocker for his valiant service.
In Times of Peace
Feathered messengers were used by
man for peaceful purposes long before,
they were put to military use. The'
ancient people of the Orient and
Egypt made use of them. The Greeks,
who borrowed the idea from the Per
sians, used pigeons to report the re
sult of the Olympic games. Ancreon
in 560 B. C. wrote on “Ode to the Car
rier Pigeon,” telling how each prov
ince’s representatives took pigeons to
the games and sent word back home
how the games were progressing.
Homing pigeons’ speeds average,
from 30 to 60 miles an hour, although
a record of 75 miles and hour has been
made. The birds can stay in the air
from sunrise to sunset and have hung
up some remarkable long-distance fly
ing records. One bird released in Ha
vana, Cuba, on July 4, 1930, arrived
in Baltimore, Md., five days later, 1,
300 miles away.
A racing pigeon called “Miss 1303,”
escaped in May, 1930, from a Caracas,
Venezuela, mining engineer to whom
she had been sold and flew 3,000 miles
to her original home in Long Island.
Ruthless father-love. Odd case of
the devoted parent who bluntly asked
his beautiful wife to step aside so he
could monopolize their young son’s af
fections. Read what Inez Robb, popu
lar feature writer, has to say about
this curious situation, in the Ameri
can Weekly with next Sunday’s Wash

■\XTHEN John Barton returned
from lunch and saw the un
usually large number of, neatly-
typed letters lying on his desk slide
to be signed, he re-
aUzed that they in-
^ ^ ■ eluded his partner’s,
Q U ^ Q Y for the
^riwlCI day after dictating
^ —his morning mail.
dl^/R ■ He opened his pen
with impatience and
began hurriedly to ' affix his signa
ture.
“Who is ‘B. B.’?’' he suddenly
asked of no one in particular. Tom
Norton, the expert accountant, who
came in once a month to go over
the books since the illness of their
regular accountant, answered.
“The one with the pink cheeks,”
he murmured, adding up a column
lickity-split with the tip of his foun
tain pen.
John Barton arose. He seldom
entered the office reserved for the
firm’s women typists, but he felt
that a very palpable error he had
just discovered warranted the intru
sion on this occasion, and riot know
ing “B. B.’s” ring call, he pushed-
upon the glass door and entered
their domain.
He scanned the line of six busy
stenographers in a helpless attempt
to discover “B. B.,” and then, non
plussed, crossed the room to his
own special one.
“Correct that phrase,” he said
tersely. She inserted the letter,
erased the offending phrase, and
substituted a single word.
“That was a bad break, Barbara,”
she laughed to the girl at the end
of the line, when their employer had
left them. Your mind must have
been wandering.”
“Pardon?” murnlured Barbara
Beirne, indolently.
“You reaUy have to consider your
context, my dear, if you wish to
avoid trouble. You wrote, ‘she
grinned,’ for chagrined.”
“I know it,” laughed the girl, “and
my little ruse failed after all. He
hasn’t noticed me yet!”
Back in his office John Barton
wondered why the girl at the end of
the row had raised half-frightened
eyes as he had entered their room.
“Bet she’s ‘B. B.,’ all right,” he
thought. “Looks as if she Imew
better than to make such a break,
though.” Then the spirit of criticism
started, he began to find fault with
the whole office force.
“Don’t we pay our girls enough?”
he asked his partner the next morn
ing.
“Who says we don’t?”
“I never saw such a bunch of
skinny girls in all my life. They
look half-fed!”
“That’s the way they want to
look,” rasped the partner,, who was
pater to a near-skeleton daughter.
“Somebody ought to take them to
lunch occasionally and give them a
good feed, or they’ll fall dead on
our hands if they get much worse.”
“Why don’t you take turns ask
ing them?. You’re a bachelor. 1
can’t!”
“Tommy,” said John Barton next
day, “whom do you consider lilie
prettiest typist we have here.”
“Why,” said Tommy without hes
itation, “Barbara Beirne, No. 6,
with the pinkest cheeks,” he added
dreamily.
John Barton contrived to dictate
some letters to Barbara when his
own typist was late, and shortly
after asked her to take dinner with
him at the Sea Pavilion.
As they sat on the lovely pavilion
overlooking the sea, eating delicious
food and listening to entrancing
music, John Barton decided that
Tommy Norton’s teste iSfaS unques
tionably good. He appreciatively ob
served Barbara’s pink cheeks grow
pinker as the cool air from the water
blew upon them.
It was with surprise that John
Barton realized he was beginning to
look forward with considerable
pleasure to his occasional meetings
with Barbara Beirne, and it gave
him no little amusement to notice
a growing reluctance on Barbara’s
part to accept his attentions. Ob
viously she hesitated because she
must feel the difference in their so
cial status, he thought, and she
showed her good sense in doing so.
Many a girl would have openly en
couraged him. He appreciated her
modesty.
He began to dream of the time
he would finally propose to her.
Wouldn’t she be surprised!
And then one ,jjight it rained. It
came down in torrents just as he
was about to enter his roadster on
his w'ay home for the day, and he
jumped back to the office for his
raincoat.
When he entered he heard voices
in the typists’ room, and the loudest
one was Tommy Norton’s, which
didn’t belong there; and the other,
a tearful one, belonging to Barbara
Beirne, and she was talking.
“But Tommy, you were always
saying how nice he was, and how
much you liked him, and I wanted
him to like me, too. I only wanted
him to like me well enough to make
him wish to give you Carr’s place
when he resigned, and when he
heard we were only waiting for you
to get a steady position before get
ting married.”
John Barton proved hirnsell a
good scout \A/'hen, later, he gave
tommy Norton Carr’s Dositiaa.

Man Under the Bed
UNNETTE CHADBOURNE SYMME8
O McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service.
Undoubtedly it was indiscreet
for Miss Minifer, sup-principal
of the Graytowers School for Girls,
to admit to Miss Houston, teacher
of mathematics, and Miss Lord,
teacher of languages, 1hat she
looked under her bed every might to
see if a man was there. It would
have been indiscreet to ^ay i,i any
other place anything which''n ight
have been overheard and miscon
strued by a half-grown ^irl with
ears like a rabbit’s for keeiin^ss and
a tongue apparently hung in the
middle. Even if the persons to
whom one speaks could see the twin
kle jn one’s eye which revealed that
one thus joking, the eavesdropper
could not. Hence ttie adventures
which befell “Boots” Brewer, who
hurried, panting, from her alcove
to pour this news into the ears of
the Sporty Six.
The Sporty Six were the malcon
tents of Graytowers—the rin^ead-
ers—and “Boots” was their captain.
She had entered the school late in
the year, having been requested to
withdraw from Longacres Manor by
the principal ^f that school, and
she didn’t care a bit if she was ex
pelled from Graytowers. Perhaps
if she were expelled she could wear
Dad into consenting to let her go on
the stage and become as wonderful
as Katherine Melrose, the actress,
whom she had adored dr' year*.
SHORT SHORT
STORY
Compfke in This Issue
It might be worth trying. "
At five minutes of nine, jitisf be
fore “early retiring” bell rang and
the teachers sought their rooms, a
meager-looking little man in slouch
hat and a fierce black mustache,
sneaked into Miss Minifer’s room
and hastily dived under the bed.
Instantly a big hand clutched him,
and a horrible, husky voice growled,
“Not a yip, or you’re a dead one!”
The whoop of utter surprise and
horror that had actually started fr
the intruder’s interior uttered itself
as a sort of quack, which couldn’t
have been heard or^, t^e, landi:^g. A
bulky ruffian, smelling fearfully of
tobacco, and with a black handker
chief mask over th^ lower part of
his face, was clutching hirh, and he
felt the coldness of steel pressed
against his forehead.
“Dis is my show—see?” the ruf
fian growled. “I’ve had my eye on
dis dump fer seme time. De missis
has jew-lry, an’ so does lots of de
goils. Den you come buttin’ in to
queer my game! Whxs’re.you, any
how? Make one sotmd, and I’ll pvf-
you outer di&-gar$jfc$ee?”
Do people really dite of fright? the
quaking “Boots” wondered, as she
trembled on the floor under ghe
bed. This man would kill her if
she made a sound, and would kill
Miss Minifer, Miss Houston and all
the rest if they happened to wake
up and catch him robbing them.
“I hate dis old dame, anyway,”
muttered the voice. “She got me
sent to jail oncet. I hope she does
give me a chance to croak her!”
■ Miss Minifer would look under the
bed—she said she always did! He
would have to kill her in order to
escape! And of course he would
have to kill “Boots” too. A step, and
the light flashed up in the room. Miss
Minifer’s unmistakable shoes and the
hem of her purple foulard became
visible. She laid hold of the edge
of the spread and bent to look under
the bed. The ruffiian’s hand dug
into “Boots’ ” quivering flesh. She
felt the menace of the revolver.
Then, with a scream of warning
like the cry of a lost soul, she faint
ed completely away!
“You are a very foolish .little
girlf*’ said Miss Minifer, somewhat
latfir, to a revived and chastened
“Boots.” “Your father has no ob
jection to your going on the stage
when the right time comes, but he
wants you to lay the foundation of
some education and an understand
ings of what obedience and discipline
mean, first. That is why he sent
you here. j
^‘The Sporty Six are not so very
sporty. One of them is a chatter
box, and betrayed the whole plan
They are not worth your while. My
sister, who arrived toniglit to visit
me, agreed to help me give you a
little surprise. She’s interested in
you, Emily, and says a girl who
will risk certain death to*’warn an
other has something big in her na
ture. She’ll be a valuable friend if
you will do your own part to de
serve her friendship. She is- Kath
erine Melrose.”
“Katherine Melrose?” said
“Boots” in a small voice.
The bathroom door opened and the
“ruffian” stood on the threshold. He
had removed his hat, his wig and
his mask, and above the janitor’s old
suit smiled the familiar face of
“Boots’ ” idol.

“Ohio,” From the Iroquois
“Ohio” is a term tha^60ttlfeS'Ei‘0’]ii’
the Iroquois and is generally trans
lated as “beautiful river.” This- is
the derivation generally given in
dictionaries, according to a Smith
sonian authority. “The word ‘beau
tiful,’ ” he says, “is probably not to
be interpreted in the esthetic sense.
It means rather ‘beautiful for camp
ing or fishing.’ ”
