TO START MAILING REGISTRANTS
QUESTIONNAIRES BY TUESDAY
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Presi-
dent Truman told selective ser-
vice boards today to start mailing
classification questionnaires to sin-
gle non-veteran draft registrants
LESTER'S GESTURES . . .
They say that the darkest hour comes just be-
fore dawn, but there aren’t many folks who can
prove it.
The fax medicine Washington mixes up for us
isn’t so palatable, but it’s worth any price just to live
in this country.
Success is built on small margins. The fastest
runner in the world can’t run five per cent faster
than ordinary runners.
Table manners: When in doubt whether to use
the fork or spoon, use the knife and remove all doubt.
Fill up with Gulf Gasoline and remove all doubt of
further mileage to the gallon. Have you tried Gulf
No-Nox Gasoline?

The order wits in a 30-page set
of regulations laying down the de
tailed provisions for putting thou-
sands of young men 19 through 2f>
into uniform under the new peace-
time draft act.
Under the order, as provided
by the aet, deferments will he
given to men with dependents, to
almost all veterans, to men in nec-
essary jobs, including farm work,
conscientious objectors lend some
other classes of registrants. Gen-
erally, the classes are patterned
after those UHed in the war-time
draft setup.
Single non-veteran men will ho
the first to get their questionnaires
which the board will use to deter-
mine whether a registrant should
he called for induction or deferred.
The questionnairs, which must
be returned in ten days, will go out
in order of birth dates—with the
oldest first.
Beginning Sept. 30, the boards
are to start mailing questionnaires
to other registrants in the same
fashion. Thereafter, the question-
naires will be mailed to each regis-
trant as soon as he reaches the
age of 19.
Registration begins Aug. 30 for
men horn after Aug. 30, 1922, and
continues through Sept. 17 for
younger men.
The 25-year-olds will he the first
inducted. The Army expects to
make its first call for about 15,000
men next week and have them in
uniform sometime in November.
Under the regulations issued to
day, each registrant between the
19 through 25 will be considered
as available for military service
until his status in a deferred or
exempt classification "is clearly es
tablishcd to the satisfaction of the
local board.”
The regulations providing for
deferment of registrants with de
pendents takes in any man with
a wife or child or whose induction
“would result in hardship or pri-
vation to a person depending on
him for support.”
A “dependant” would include the
registrant’s wife, divorced wife,
child, parent, grandparent, brother,
or sister, or a person under 18 or
one physically or mentally handi-
capped "whose support the regis-
trant has assumed in good faith.”
The Navy warned its organized
reservists today that if they miss
as few as five weekly drills a year
they’ll lose their draft exemptions.
At the same time, it announced
that young volunteer reservists
(who do not atte.nd regular drills
and are not draft-exempt) can
compete for appointment to the
Naval Academy if they have had
14 days of active duty before the
examination date next April.
Under the draft law, members
of an organized reserve are exempt
only as long as they take part
satisfactorily in drills and training.

Burning Wasp Nests—
May Cost You Plenty!
AUSTIN, TEXAS — Burning a
wasp nest could cost you from $25
to $2,300.
At least that is the calculations
made by Marvin Hall, State Fire
Insurance Commissioner, based on
experiences of Texans in June.
A $2,300 fire loss was suffered
when a wasp nest in a cedar tree
was set fire and in turn ignited
the roof of a duplex. The $25 dam-
age occured when a man tried to
burn a wasp nest off his home with
flaming paper. In a third instance,
$200 damage was done in a similar
situation.
“In addition to the danger to
life and home, there is also the
inevitable damage, though usually
slight, to that part of the house
or shrubbery where the nest is
located,” Hall commented.
He recommended that a long pole
be used to knock down the nest
and then that the insects be sprayed
with a commercial liquid poison.
The nest should be destroyed in the
regular trash disposal.
Commissioner Hall said that his
method was not sting-proof, but
reminded: “a sting can heal.”
Arthur Harris, Sr., was over from
Bay City, Monday, transacting bus-
iness and calling on friends.
