The procurement of the manpower authorized by the act Is under the control of the director of selective service appointed by the President. The director has established a national headquarters and works through the governors of the states, who have appointed local boards composed of civilians one board for approximately every 30,000 people. These local boards are charged primarily with the classification and examination of registrants as to availability for service. It is felt that members of such boards who are familiar with local conditions, who, in fact, are neighbors of the registrants, are much better qualified than any other agency to classify and Judge the individuals who should be selected as the representatives of their communities in the army. The knowledge which the members of these boards have of each Individuals status as to dependents, his work or profession, Bnd his health, will go far toward Insuring a fair and democratic operation of the system. Army Requisitions States. The army first exercises direct influence under the selective service act in requisitioning the various Btates for quotas of men to fill necessary military requirements as determined by the war department. When a local board has been called upon by the state in which it is located to furnish a quota of selectees upon a certain date, the board will till the quota by calling and the necessary nuni- Burke-Wadsworl- For once the cast of a motion picture seems to be taking the title seriously.

What should be done to get a mahogany finish on table-topthat are not mahogany? Legs and other parts of the table are dark red, and the tops should match Answer: In any case, the finish should be removed to the bare wood, which can be done with liquid varnish remover. Do not allow the remover to drip on the legs and other parts. The remover is applied liberally, and allowed to stand for 20 minutes or so; the finish can then be taken off with a rough cloth and a scraper. The remover is inflammable, so take precautions against fire. This will take off the stain as well as the finish. Follow by washing with turpentine, and then, after drying, apply mahogany oil stain. Allow to soak in for a minute or two and then wipe off. Continue to apply stain in this way until you have reached the shade that you want. Allow to dry thoroughly. For an oil finish apply a mixture of three parts linseed oil and one part turpentine. After an hour for soaking in, wipe dry. Repeat in 24 hours and then, after two or three days for drying, begin to polish with a piece of carpeting or other rough Any flaked ready-to-serv- e cereal may be used instead of bread crumbs in a recipe that calls for bread crumbs.

He will be given an opportunity to express his choice in athletics, hobbies, and the nature of service he desires. This information will give a clear picture of the mans suitability for any particular military assignment. Remain Three Days. The selectees will remain at the reception center only long enough to be sorted and classified, which, it is anticipated, will require on an average, two or three days. There are two possible systems by whioh'the selectees might be trained by the already existing units. One wrould be to distribute them at once throughout the various small organizations; companies, batteries, etc., and have them absorb the fundamentals, working side by side with the older men. The other system would be to segregate them more or less under centralized control while they are put through the intensive period of training in the fundamentals under the supervision of specially qualified instructors. The war department has made a careful study of the matter particularly in the light of the developments of the present European war, and has decided that the latter method that is, keeping them together until they are thoroughly trained in the fundamentals is far superior. Compared to School, The training phases which these men will pass through might be compared to the grade school, high school, and college periods through which the majority of American youths pass. For 13 weeks after joining his organization, the selectee will in a military sense be in the grade school phase. The training he will receive is designed to harden him gradually without making severe physical demands at first, but developing eventually the ability to endure prolonged and arduous physical exeition. He will be taught to march, use his weapons, and care for himM If and his means of transportation in the field. Tactical exercises will be Umited to those of tlie platoon and company.
