Sharply contrasting with the work
of last summer during which time all
of the staff officials were busy com-
bating the typhoid fever epidemic, the
work of the University health service
this summer has been unusually small.
According to Dr. C. P. Drury of the
health service, there has not been a
single case sent to the hospital all
summer.
The number of students coming to
the service for minor illnesses and
injuries has been also unusually small.
The authorities at the health service
would not advance any opinion as to
the cause of the unusual phenomenons.
as to whether it was the weather or
their care in preventing disease last
winter which was responsible. But,
so far as known this has been about
one of the most healthy of summer
sessions.
Perhaps we had better knock wood,
for the summer session is not entirely
over yet and there is always a chance
for Old Man Disease to come out of
his hole and peek into our windows
and spoil the whole thing at the last
moment.
GOVERNMENT SHUTS
DRAFT LOOPHOLES
Shirkers to Be Classed as Deserters;
Government to Take Care
of Slackers
Washington, Aug. 3.-Registrants
for the draft army who fail to respond
to the summons of the exemption
boards will be apprehended and pun-
ished as deserters from the army if
they do not appear within ten days.
This was one of a number of rulings
by the provost marshal general today,
including the strictness with which
the draft law is to be enforced.
Another ruling explained that a man
married before or after the draft draw-
ing cannot be exempted on that score
unless it be established that his wife
is actually dependent upon his daily
labor for support.
Moreover if it appears that tie reg-
istrant married after the draft draw-
ing on July 20 in order to escape serv-
ice by marriage exemption, both he
and his wife are liable to prosecution.
Still another ruling holds that serv-
ice in Red Cross ambulance companies
does not warrant the exemption of a
registrant.
U. S. to Handle Slackers
Local exemption boards handling
the new selective national army were
advised today not to worry about men
summoned for service who do not re-
spond. The federal government, they
were informed, will take care of the
slackers and service dodgers promptly
and effectively. Every man who fails
to respond will be classed as a de-
serter and treated as such.
Mr. Fetter to Take Vacation Soon
Mr. Fetter, secretary of the Uni-
versity Y. M. C. A., expects to leave
for his vacation the first of the week
and will return about the first of Sep-
tember.

THE CRITIC
Harper's Bazaar for August is clev
er and interesting from the charming-
ly Erte cover to the McCallum ad on
the back. For unconscious humor do
not miss Erte's gowns on pages 48 to
51. Then read what Lady Duff Gor-
don says about "the height of fashion"
a few pages later. .j
Doubtless all the girls who comb
their straight back have already read
"Being Wicked" in the August Mc-
Clure's. No, we haven't read it, but
is it as thrilling as it sounds, girls?
Read Maeterlinck's five minute trib-
ute to King Albert of Belgium in the
Ladies' Home Journal for August.
