How youths selected in draft will be physically examined. Uncle Sam wants only the flower of his young men to serve in the army of liberation which by next spring will be on its way to Europe. Every man selected in the draft will be required to go through a stiff medical examination. The principal tests that will be applied are shown above. Each soldier must be of the proper weight and height. He must pass the heart and iung test; these organs must be sound. The general condition of his teeth must be good, although he will not be rejected if army dentists can make his teeth sound. His feet must be free of serious defeats, and he will be rejected if they are flat.

PERATDRS GET OFF II HIGH PERCH

TIMES' BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. June 16. Indiana coal operators finally climbed down off their high perch yesterday afternoon, and agreed to co-operate with tho State Council of Defense In the effort to solve the coal problem in IniiABa. The committee of operators met In conference with Governor Goodrich and reached an agreement of that kind. They refused to have anything to do with the Public Service Commission, because the commission has been "roasting" them good and strong lately. At the conclusion of the conference a statement waa given out to the effect that the coal operators recognize that all Industries must be mobilized during tho war and that coal must be supplied to keep factories and railroads running. Therefore, they said, they appointed a committee to co-operate with the Stats Council of Defense and make "surh easrifices that may be required in their business. The committee appointed consists of William Johnson, Alfred IX. Ogle, Phil Penna and II. M. Ferguson. No one knows as yet what will be done, or what kind of concessions or arrangements the coal operators will make under this agreement. One of the interesting developments of the day was that, while the coal operators were talking about 'sacrifices" they would make, the Marion county board of review uncovered a retail coal company in this city which Is capitalised at $10,000 and which admitted that It made more than $100,000 profit last year. The board boosted the assessment of that company. This disclosure is taken' to mean that coal dealers have been "handing It" to the people on coal prices.

BURIED MONDAY FT. "WAYNE, Ind., June 16. Rev. Thomas A. Mungovan, for six years pastor of Sit. Mary's Catholic church at Anderson, is dead here at the home of his sister, Mrs. Lillian Markey. He died on his forty-third birthday and will be buried here Monday with funeral services from St. Patrick's church, of which he was assistant pastor for three years. In 1902, Rev. Mungovan was appointed pastor of the Catholic church at Indiana Harbor, which he established. . In addition to founding the first Catholic parish at Indiana Harbor, he also effected the organization of a parochial school in that city. Until the successor of Rev. Mungovan is appointed the Anderson parish will be under the supervision of Rev. Raphael Donnelly, assistant pastor there.

SOME MUST GO, BUT ALL MUST GIVE

Get this picture let It sink in. Than sit down and determine what you are gotag to do about It. Its happening every day, every hour, every minute when the biff battles are on. It took him Just as he went over the trench parapet took him full In his bare and muscular throat. It waa hardly bigger than one of those rubber erasers tinned to the end of lead pencils. But with the driving1 power of high energy powder behind its steel jacketed nose, It waa an altogether competent and devilishly capable agent of destruction. He lay quite still a few yards ahead of the trench, where his rash had carried him. The morning drew toward noon. With night came the beginning" of his torment. "First it was thirst, then fever, then delerium. Always his spilling" wound burned and throbbed. Even on the second niglit, with the rain beating down upon him, it glowed like a kiln. By the third day his agony spoke In screams. A stretcher party found him and trundled him away, down through the line of Bed Cross units, from dressing station to field base. He was Trench, but he waa fighting our fight. Ke was French, but a few months from now his counter, part may be an American. There ar9 bullets enough for all. Be may be a boy you know, perhaps a neighbor's boy, even our own fighting our fight. Will you help him, when our fight has broken him, to fight his? Will you help him when his young body and vivid force are spent and shattered, to retrieve what he mayf Every man, woman and child in the state of Indiana can give this aid by subscribing to the American Bed Cross neit week, when the big drive to raise $1,500,000 for Bed Cross work here at home and across the sea, begins in every county, city and town. The American Bed Cross is the wounded soldiers' truest ally. It is his minister and guardian. It Is his hope. If you can only spare a dollar give it. But make it five, ten, fifty or a hundred dollars if you are able. 2To limit is placed on the Individual subscriptions. The appeal of the American Bed Cross Is put up to all the people give what you can. Zf you can't go you can give. Those going are giving immeasurably more. Some must go, but all must give.

GIRLS' EMPIRE COAT. By Anabel Worthington.

There are many times in the summer when a lightweight coat is a welcome protection against the chi'l in the air. The one shown in No. 8333 is ideal for this purpose, as it is a suitable style for faille, taffeta, satin, poplin, moire or corduroy. The front of the upper part and the skirt section are cut in one. The back of the t-oat is plain and the lower section is joined to the side front sections and gathered at the waistline. Loose pockets swing from the high waistline, which is accented by straps outtoned on to the upper part The regulation coat sleeves have turned back cuffs. The coat has a broad, childish looking sailor collar. The coat pattern, No. S333, is cut in fiTe sizes, G to 14 years. Tho eight-year size requires 3 yards of 36 inch material or '2 yards of 44 inch. To obtain this pattern send 10 cents to the office of this publication.

When he took up life Insurance work

his first position was with the Metro

politan Company at Hammond. Then

with the Public Savings Life of In

dlanapolis he was given the position

of manager of the Calumet district, a

position which he held until recently

when he resigned to take the manager

ship of the Conservative Life In the

same district.

He hAs re-organized the district and

appointed W. F. Haynes as superln tendent at Hammond. Mr. Haynes for

merly held a similar position With the Public Savings here. John H. Price,

formerly with the Indianapolis com

pany in this field, is superintendent of

When they were through the Times man shook the dice. The dice showed

three numbers and tnese were recorded

on a duplicate slip, each number referring to a ball team. If the three ball teams in the three leagues made the

three highest scores that day the ticket

would bring the owner the "pot" or rart of It providing others had been as

lucky on their shakes. '

' The shaking through, the Times man

got his slip after paying 25 cents. It was near "11 o'clock that day, and the

slips issued were between the 600 and

700 mark, which meant that at least $150 had been turned in. It is said the house keeps 20 per cent of all receipts

received up to the time the baseball games start early in the afternoon. YOUNG MEN PATRONIZE IT.

Residents of the Steel city last year

had other places where they could take

part in the baseball pool, but it is stated

the only live "pot" is that one run at "The Club." The place is stated to be

operated by a stock company, controlled

by a couple of the prbminent members of the Commercial Club, one of them said to be no less than a business man

owning a large Broadway store. Profits

of hundreds of dollars monthly are belived to accrue to "The Club" fn this connection. Business is said to be best on steel company pay-days, while youths

However, most of the pools of last summer are with last summer's roses gone; and this pool, freed from competition, probably is in better shape, and more than one ex-poolkeeper, said to stand in fear of the disinterestedness of the Commercial Club's reform Commission, la said to secretly admire the efficiency ft the gaming at the club building.

While the laws of Indiana are written statutes, it is said many consithem wholly inefficient. Thus, in connection with the renting of places there is a certain law that is existent, but not efficient. One phase of the revised statutes of Indiana say: S466 (2401) KEEPING a ABUTS Q BOUSE. S57. Whoever keeps a building, room, arbor, garden (etc.) " to ba naad or occupied for gaming, or knowingly permits tbe lame to be used or occupied for gaming, or whoever( being' tbe owner of any building, room (etc.) rents the same tp be used or ocenpied for gaming, shall, on conviction, be fined not less than 910 nor more than $500, to which may be added im. prisonment In the county jail or workhouse not less than ten days - nor more than six months. However, it has been said that the laws of Indiana are inefficient.

PLANT NAVY BEANS NOW By I'nlted Press.) INDIANAPOLIS, June 16. Planting of navy beans between June 20 and July 1 on all garden space which up to that time has been occupied by early garden crops, was advised today by H. J. Reed of Purdue university in a bulletin issued through the office of G. I. Christie, state food director. This will permit the harvesting of two crops frori the same' land and also late planting of beans Is to be preferred, the bulletin states, as it reduces to a considerable extent the danger of loss from rust that attacks the leaves. "Growing navy beans offers one of the best opportunities for gardners to produce a crop of high grade food and of market value which can be- stored for winter use." the instruction states.
