WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—The proposed year of military training for youths of 17 or 18 would give the nation many more young men fit to fight on any further M-day than we had at the of Pearl Harbor but for getting the maximum manpower in fighting trim, however, health and physical fitness efforts should start much earlier. . A year of military training would have the further advantage of getting our young men used to army life and discipline. This would be easier at 17 or 18 than at 25 or 30. Certain physical defects, such as bad teeth, could be corrected. Syphillis and gonorrhea could be cured. At the end of the year, the young men would be stronger and healthfer; and the nation would have more potential fight-.

\ many young men, however, would still be army because of diseases or defects that could not be corrected at the age of 17 or 18, though they might have been prevented by proper attention at earlier ages.

And they find army point. Some of the old-timers seem to take special delight in brow-beating anybody who has been to college. The boys can take it—but it dulls the keen edge of their enthusiasm for giving all they've got to the war. They don't see why recruits can’t be trained on a basis of man-to-man decency. And yet, they think America is in the mess it's in now because we got too soft. Nobody wants to work hard, everybody's looking out for himself, nobody wants to give up his comforts.

Most Embarrassing Moment TWO WORKING GIRLS who live around 31st and Delaware had their most embarrassing moment

started back. Several of the children had scattered for home, and the only one in sight was walking behind a soldier and a male civilian, “Oh, there's one of our children.” one of the girls said. The soldier and civilian gave them dirty looks, and took the lad by the hand. Much embarrassed, the girl giggled: “Oh, I guess he’s not our child after all”... One of our agents reports seeing three G.Is from Camp Atterbury walk into the lobby of the Test building, on the circle, and ask George Pandell, the florist, if he had any gardenias.” When George said he had none to sell, the G.1.s séemed very disappointed, “We just wanted to smell a gardenia,” one of them sald. “Well, wait a minute, boys,” said George. “I was a G.I myself in the other war.” Whereupon he dug into his refrigerator and produced a slightly withered gardenia which wasn't so much for looks but still had its fragrance. He gave it to them, and the grateful Gls left, taking turns at smelling the exotic blossom,

Of the 3127700 rejections for eye defects, probably many could have been avoided by better care eyes and of eye infections and by greater atto prevention of accidents in childhood.

This was because the armed forces kept lowering their dental standards to procure manpower. It meant that about one-third of the nation’s dentists had to be called into the services to do the tremendous job of repairing and restoring decayed or missing teeth in the men accepted for service. The biggest single medical cause of rejection was mental disease. The origin of this kind of trouble often be traced to conditions affecting a person when he was very young. Family life and early

But now the New Deal would have us believe that only the fourth term candidate for President can provide a haven for the dove of peace.” :

He said the Democratic candidates for governor and senator, Senator Jackson and Governor Schricker, are “making an effort, a belated effort, to free themselves from the Roosevelt coattail to which they so long clung.” : “But the people,” he added, “are not forgetting that they were Roosevelt coattail hangers-on for 11% years and would continue to be coattail hangers except for their belief that the Roosevelt-Hillman ticket is now riding to defeat.” Lisle Wallace, manager of Capt. William E. Jenner's campaign for the short U. S. senate term, announced that Capt. Jenner will begin campaigning after his retirement from active service Oct. 7.

FWA GIVES $53,800 T0 ISOLATION CLINIC

The federal works administration has allotted the city $53,800 in Lanham act funds with which to reno-

vate the isolation hospital, Senator Samuel Jackson yesterday informed Mayor Tyndall. Dr. Herman GQ. Morgan, health board secretary, said the money represents part of $94,000 requested from the government and the city for rehabilitation purposes at the venereal clinic. In addition to defraying remodeling . expenses, the money will enable the hospital to install electric elevators, fire escapes, a new engine room, enlarged juvenile quarters and modern examination facilities, Dr. Morgan said. City council recently budgeted $40,000 for 1945 hospital repairs as its part of the bargain. The institution, located at 1140 E. Market st.,- was donated to the city last spring by the Indianapolis Social Hygiene association. Mayor Tyndall has pushed its renovation pending its post-war relocation on City hospital grounds.
