Draff Would Allow
All 1-B's Enlistment
Those Rejected Will
Have Another Chance
Selective service offices are au­
thorized to accept for induction
any man previously placed in 1-B
provided such man volunteers for
service.
Men who have previously been
placed in 1-B classification by de­
termination of either local physi­
cians or by the army examining
board may volunteer and be sent
for further examination by the
army board in Portland.
Class 1-B men who are passed by
the medical board of the army in­
duction station as meeting physical
standards set for class 1-A will be
accepted for general military serv­
ice.
Those class 1-B registrants meet­
ing only class 1-B standards will be
inducted for limited military serv­
ice. Those meeting the standards
of neither will be disqualified for
any military service.
Class 1-B men will be entitled to
transfer to the enlisted reserve
corps for a period of about 14 days
immediately following induction, as
are all 1-A men called now. This
will permit them to dispose of any
business affairs after they have
definitely learned whether or not
they are acceptable to the army.
Any 1-B men who have previous­
ly been rejected should call at the
local board office to volunteer for
service.
A limited number of 1-B men
will be called for service in Au­
gust, in accordance with their order
numbers. However, any volunteers
will be given first place in the
quota.

That sounds cheap for a photograph, we admit.
But when you find it means only two poses: “This
way, please; that way, please; Thank you, that's
all” — and you pay another 50c for a ten-cent
folder; then after you have bought three or four
prints (for what good is one photograph to any­
body?), you find you have spent five or six dol­
lars—and where’s your economy?
WE make portraits, first-class likenesses in the
latest poses and in modern lightings, for as little
as $6.00 a dozen. That’s 50e each, and they’re
permanent. They won’t fade, won
