6 mom mom om WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1917 LOCAL BOARDS WILL CHECK ON SLACKERS Army Authorities Issue Strict Meas- ures to Physicians in Examin- ing Men Selected By Draft. WEIGHT STANDARDS SET Men Will Be Released From Service Only for Actual Disability. The government is taking every possible precaution to prevent slack- ers from escaping military service by simulating illness and false claims of physical deficiency. Only serious physical deficiencies will be deemed to unfit a registrant from military service. These de- ficiencies are defined in detail in the regulations issued by General Crowder. As soon as the draft takes place the men called will report to the ex- emption boards and receive assign- ment of examination by the ap- pointed physicians. If a man is unfit physically for military service he will be exempted. If he is found fit the question of his exemption will de- pend upon the judgment of the ex- emption board on other than phy- sical grounds. Rules Adopted. The rules prescribe that all men presenting themselves for exemption must be stripped. A standard height, weight and chest measurement is first set forth for guidance of the physicians. These figures range from a height of 5 feet and 1 inch to 6 feet and 6 inches. The standard weight for a man 5 feet 1 inch tall is given as 118 pounds, his chest deflated at' 31 inches, and inflated at 33 inches. For a man 6 feet 6 inches tall, the standard weight is 211 pounds, chest 384, and expan- sion 4 inches. Variations in weight and. expan- sion are permissible for qualification as follows: [ Height, 61 to 64 inches, a variation of 8 pounds and 1 inch in chest ex- pansion; 64 to 68 inches tall, 10 pounds and 2inches; 68 to 69 inches, 12 pourids and 2 inches; 69-70 inches, 15 pounds and 2 inches; 73 inches and over, 24 pounds variation in weight and 2 inches in expansion. To be acceptable for. military serv- ice a man below 5 feet and 4 inches in height, the rules direct ,must be "of good physique, well developed and muscular." "Unless exceptionally well propor- tioned," the rules also say, "men above 6 feet and 6 inches in height should be rejected." Causes given in the rules for re- jection of men for military service include the following: Mental, lack of normal understand- ing. Skin, chronic, contagious and para- sitic diseases, when severe and ex- tensive; chronic ulcers, deep or ex- tensive. Head, abrupt depression in skull, the consequence of old fracture.

Teeth, at least four serviceable molars required on each side of jaw, two above and two below; good fit- ting bridge or plate where not more than one-half of the teeth are in- volved is not disqualifying.

Abdomen, chronic inflation of the 'gastro-intestinal tract, including chronic diarrhoea, dysentery and other diseases of the contained or- gans.

Hotel and restaurant men of the country are now being enlisted in the food conservation army by Herbert Hoover, commanding general tempo- rarily, for lack of an official title which congress continues to wrangle about. In a preliminary conference with castern hotel men reports were sub- mitted recommending first that the hotel men of the country print on all their menu cards the following: "Mr. Hoover urges the use of less wheat, pork products, butter and all fats, also beef, and to substitute and use freely sea food, fresh vegetables and fruit. Economy in the nonre- stricted food is not necessary or de- sirable at the present time." Urge General Economy. A general economy' program out- lined by the hotel and restaurant men was submitted to the food ad- ministration as follows: One wheatless day each week or one wheatless meal each day is recommended, with adequate substi- tutes. Baby lamb and suckling pig to be taken off the menu entirely; veal, lamb, sweetbreads and calves' liver eliminated three days each week. Serve butter only when ordered, one piece to an individual and no more unless ordered. Cut out bacon as a garniture and reduce the num- ber of fried dishes, including fried potatoes. Eliminate cheese one day each week. 5 Use powdered soap in. kitchen and washrooms and soda ash exclusively for scrubbing. Take Candy Off Menu. Candy to be taken off menu en- tirely and no sugar to be used in the manufacture of table decorations. Reduce so far as possible the use of cake. The restauranteurs recommend that untrimmed sandwiches be not served, and this means 8 per cent waste. Many recommendations are made for the proper serving of fish and fowl and of fruits and vegetables. The program for saving is purely suggestive, but represents the senti- ment of the organizations as ex- pressed through their committees. They suggest that the proposed plans for saving be recommended to all restaurants and hotels throughout the country for their guidance and co-operation. EEE Es a ATLANTA ISSUES CODE TO REGULATE TRAFFIC Pedestrians Must Obey Policeman's Signal, Same as Drivers. Pedestrians in congested districts of Atlanta, as well as the procedure of motor car drivers in discharging passengers and parking cars, are af- fected materially by the new city ordinance now in effect. Pedestrians must not attempt to cross a street when the traffic officer signals that vehicles must stop. A man may not proceed when traffic is held up in the same direction he is going, but must wait for the flag to give him the signal to proceed. When a street is opened for traffic one way pedes- trians may not dodge among the stream of cars and cross at right angles. No motor car may back into a curb, except to discharge or pick up pas- sengers, and then can remain in this position only long enough to dis- charge or pick up same. All cars must park parallel to the curb, and there are very few downtown streets on which a car may park. No taxi- cab may park on any street in the city, except in front of railway sta- tions, and private cars doing service for hotels, and in the latter instance only, by consent of the stores which may be on the same floor with the hotels. ha of disabling type, irreducible or false joints, severe sprains, trophy, pa- ralysis, permanent contraction of the muscles, etc. Hands, webbed fingers, extension or loss of motion of one or more fingers; loss or serious mutilation of either thumb; total loss of index finger of right hand; total loss of any two fingers of the same hand; loss of second and third phalanges of all fingers of either hand.
