800 to 900 Hoosiers to‘Be Summoned for Duty Beginning Early in January; Everything Ready, Say Conscription Officials.
Within the next week, State Selective Service officials expect a call to provide between 800 and 900 young Hoosiers early in January for service in the U. S. Army. . This call will be for more than twice as many men as were taken from Indiana in the first call last month; later calls will be for still more men, officials said.
By next June, 21,087 Hoosiers are scheduled to be in |
the Army for one’ year's training under the. Selective Service Law. ‘A little more than 2000 of this number will be from Marion County. Everything’s ready for the second call, draft officials said. From 50 to 100 more holders of low order numbers have been classified by local draft boards, which know that they will have to furnish more men, and most of the men believed “eligible for Class 1-A have been. given medical examinations. 100 Examined at Armory One hundred Marion County men were given medical examinations at the National Guard Armory Youmes: day.

thickly-populated counties) filled their quotas for the year in the first call and have no more to do this year, Draft officials say that the only trouble in the draft program has arisen from the failure of many draft registrants to understand why they receive a lower order | {number from their local draft boards than they received in the Washington “fish bowl” lottery.
Total Exceeded Number Available
This is caused by the fact that more numbers were ‘drawn in the national lottery ‘than there were in any Indiana local board: Numbers drawn which, were higher than the highest number given by a local board were simply fi off the list when the local. board allotted order numbers. « The first two numbers dravm—158 and 192—hit each of | | Marion County’s 15 local: boards, | for ~ example, and men. with these serial

numbers were given the Numbers. 1 and 2. . The third number drawn was
Marion County, so each local board simply crossed the number off its list. The fourth and fifth numbers drawn—6620 and 6685—met the same | fate.
19 Numbers Before No. 3
The sixth number drawn was 4779. One Marion County board had enough registrants to have a man with this number, so this man in one hoard became number 3. The other 14 boards had to pass by 19 numbers before they came to one which was low enough to affect their registrants. This was numbér 105. Thus, 14 men with serial number 105 received Order No. 3, ‘even though 105 was the 19th number drawn. In the other board, which had a few more registrants, 105 was the sixth number drawn which affected a registrant, so the holder of the number in this. particular board was given Order No. 6.
Emergency Food Ready for Birds
TONS OF SCREENINGS and ‘grains collected by the State's conservation clubé during recent
months are ready for use in the emergency feeding of birds during winter months, Virgil M. Simmons, Conservation commissioner, reported today. The clubs have arranged to use the services of rural mail carriers, highway workers and drivers of milk and bread trucks in scdte tering the feed over wide areas, Feeding stations have been és-

to noon than they were last September. But it’s a minute most people hadn’t counted on, and am awful lot of gigantic sky operations are
required. to produce it.
There ‘are two things that affect the length of the day. One is the changing distance of the earth from the sun, and the earth; Tig we | we say, is nearly “3,000,000 - miles close; the sun:than it: was in July.

This also affects the time between the noon-dey crossings of the meridian. At the present time, they combine to make the day longest, while in September they combine to make the day shortest.

NEW TYPE OF STEAM
ENGINE INTRODUCED
NEW YORK, Dec, 6.—A new type of steam engine which yields onc hordepower for each five pounds of weight, comparing favorably with gasoline engines used for automotive service, was described here at. the meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Technical details of the engine were given by S. L. G. Knox of Englewood, N. J., who designed it, and Prof. J. I. Yellott of the Illinois Institute ‘of Technology, who has conducted tests upon it. The engine’ which weighs 450 pounds, and gives a maximum of 50 horsepower, is a reversible one, in which changing thé direction of the flow of steam reverses the direction of rotation. Its outstanding feature, the engineers said, “is the valve gear, by which a number of seful functions are performed without introducing more moving parts than the. minimum required for = simple non-reversing engine with
the same number of cylinders.”
