High Physical Standard for Recruits Highlighted by Pension Bureau
Washington July 1 The War Secretary received a praise from the United States pension commissioner for army recruiting officers who uphold strict physical standards for recruits bound for Mexican or border duty.

Also noted are 800 year old parchment manuscripts read by ultraviolet, and a Canadian woman patents a wheeled trimmer enabling upright operation.
