FDR Authorizes
Maximum in New
Conscription
HYDE PARK, N. Y. (U.P)—Pre-
sident Roosevelt, acting by execu-
tive order in "the national inter-
est," Sunday authorized mustering
of 800,000 new conscripts into the
army in the year beginning July 1
to replace draftees whose year of
service and training expire*
The executiv- order, for the
first time, invokes the full man-
power authorizations of the selec-
tive service act in calling for
900,000 men. The law fixes 900,-
000 as the maximum number who
may be inducted during any an-
nua! training period. The authori-
zation for the year ending Monday
was for only 800,000, of which
V 660,000. acutelly have been inducted
into the armed services.
Working in the study of his
Hyde Park home, Mr. Roosevelt al-
so:
1. Signed a bill authorizing
$150,000,000 to provide public ser-
vices, hospitals, sanitation meas-
ures, schools, water works, .etc.
near national defense centers.
2. Created by executive order a
new office of scientific research
and development in the office of
emergency management. He named
as director of OSRD Dr. Vannevar
Bush, president of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington.
The selective service executive
order authorizes Secretary of War
Henry L. Stimson to call up for
service and training the new man-
power levy as he sees fit over a
period July 1, 1941 to June 30,
,1942. JTh eorder assumes that men
now in training will be released at
the end of their year of service, al-
though General George C. Mar-
shall, Army Chief of Staff, has
disclosed that "some" conscriptees,
presumably only a fraction of the
total, might be required to remain
K longer than a year.
• "Extension of the year's service
required under the selective service
law would require an act of Con-
gress. Thus far there has been no
move by Mr. Roosc-velt's adminis-
tration to seek such an extension.

Red Cross Makes
Appeal for Old
Magazines, Games
An appeal for discarded maga-
zines and games such as jig-saw
puzzles and crossword puzzles, was
issued Saturday by the recreation
committee of the American Red
Cross here. The magazines and
games will be taken to the nearest
army camp, where they will be
placed at the disposal of enlisted
men.
"The need is urgent," the com-
mittee emphasized, "because the
recreation facilities of army camp
life are limited, and all reading
matter is welcomed by the sol-
diers."
The work is already under way,
and a quantity of magazines have
been collected. The committee re-
ported 637 magazines were taken
to the Red Cross headquarters in
Brownwood during the paat week,
and it is hoped that such contribu-
tions can be made frequently.
Nearly every home has a num-
ber of old magazines and games
that the family has discarded, the
committee pointed out. These will
be accepted and read gratefully by
the boys in the army camps.
Mrs. Raleigh DeLong, Limestone
county chairman for the recreation
committee, requests local citizens
to take the magazines to the Red
Cross rooma at 107 Commerce
street. "If possible," she asks, "as-
sort them and tie them in bundles
with a string, so they may be more
esily handled. If it is not conven-
ient for you to take your maga-
zines to the Red Cross rooms,
please call a member of the com-
mittee and arrangements will be
made to call for them. The commit-
tee will be assisted by the Boy
Scouts, she added.
The committee in Mexia is com-
posed of the following members:
Mrs. Pat Fain, Mrs. Cedric B. Da-
vis, Mrs. T. H. Lunday, Misses
Peggy Phillips, Elaine Blair, Ruth
Pittman, Shine DeLong, Jane Woo-
ton, Alice Yeldell.

Bob Fain to
Graduate from
Army Air School
Robert Snead Fain, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Pat Fain of Mexia, is one
of the 143 Flying Cadets who are
scheduled to graduate July 11th
from the Air Corps Advanced Fly-
ing School at Stockton Field, Cali-
fornia, according to information
received Saturday from officials of
the Field. Seventy-four of the 143
are from Texas.
Upon graduation he will be com-
missioned Second Lieutenant in the
Air Corps Reserve of the United
States Army, and will be given his
Wigs, symbolic of the aeronautical
rating of Pilot. He will perform
three years' active duty in his new
rank in a locality of hit choice, if
practicable, the announcement stat-
ed. ^
Friends and relatives of the gra-
duates will be guests at a barbe-
cue and dance to be given Wednes-
day afternoon and evening in the
large steel hangar at Stockton
Field. In graduation exercises, di-
plomas and Wings will be present-
ed by Brigadier General Henry W.
Harms, Commanding the West
Coast Air Corps Training Center,
and Colonel Leo A. Walton, School
Commandant.
Graduation from the Advanced
School at Stockton culminates ap-
proximately thirty wseks of inten-
sive training divided into three 10-
week periods, namely, the primary,
basic and advanced courses. In the
advanced course, the Flying Cadet
was taught to ily the large com-
bat airplanes of the Army Air
Corps and acquainted himself with
meteorology, radio code, naviga-
tion, engineering, military law and
other professional subjects.
Flying Cadet Fain was formerly
a student in the University of
Texas. He took his primary train-
ing in aviation at Ontario, Califor-
nia, and his basic course at Mof-
fett Field, California.
Constables Red-
Faced, Seize Own
Deputy Chief
TRURO, N.~S.'<U. — The desk
sergeant answered the telephone
the other night.
"I just saw a man with a flash-
light prowling around in a building
down the street," said an excited
resident.
"Go get him, boys," said the ser-
geant.
Two constables burned leather tc,
the scene of the crime. They slip-
ped quietly into the building and
stalked the prowler through the
darkness. Then they pounced. The
prowler was their own deputy chief
who had stepped in to investigate
an unlocked door.
Infra-Red Rays
to Heat Homes
Called Likely
SEATTLE, Wash. (U.fi)— Far-
sighted utility engineers are look-
ing to the day when infra-red rays
—instead of coal and wood—will
heat American homes.
Charles W. Wildebour, electrical
research engineer, hopes discover-
ies in the immediate future will
make such a plan practical.
At present, he said, the chief
problem is to reduce the cost of
the process.
Wildebour rigged up wires em-
bedded in walls, floors and ceiliig-
These give off a "spray of infra-
red rays, passing through air and
other transparent substances with-
out heating them.
"When striking opaque bodies,
they impart heat," Wildebour ex-
plained. Therefore, a person sit-
ting in a room with doors and win-
dows open, and with a temperature
40 degrees below zero outside
would feel quite warm and com-
fortable if sprayed with infra-red
rays.
"Even a violent wind could not
blow these rays away or reduce
their warming effect on the body."
The home of tomorrow, Wilde-
bour added, will utilize ultra-violet
rays to kill bacteria in the at-
mosphere, and flourescent lump*
will replace incandescent lamps.
War Steps Up *
Demand For
Roquefort Cheese
DAVIS, Cal. OJ.R) — C6llege of
Agriculture experts believe there is
a connection between war and
Roquefort cheese.
Sixteen years ago tha daily de- a
partme^t. issued the formula for
making it, but few were interested.
■With the advent of the war, how-
ever, demand from dairymen for
the formula has become so great
the department has been forced to
rush an extra edition of it to tha
press.

Wetter But
Cooler than '40
CHICAGO (U.R) — So that the
modern woman shopper, intent on
a bargain, does not lose any
ground, a Chicago store Was de-
signed to serve luncheon in four
minutes flat.
The method is a simple rotating
service of moveable food carts and
individual trays, attended by three
stewardesses instead of the cus-
tomary one.
Reid Steele, a student of Texas
A. and M. College, spent tha week-
end in Maxia.
Mrs. J. S. Watson underwent an
operation at a loeal hospital Sat-
urday and is reported doing well.
The month of June was wetter
than June, 1940, but not as hot,
Miss Josie Newman, local weather
observer, reported Tuesday morn-
ing, after comparing the records
for the month just past and the
same month last year. .
In 1940, the Mexia weather sta-
tion recorded a total of 5.98 inches
of rain during the month of June.
In 1941, a total of 7.03 inches was
recorded.
Maximum temperature for June,
1940, was 94 degrees, according to
Miss Newman's records, while the
hottest temperature last month
was 92 degrees.
Monday was the hottest day of
the year to date, Miss Newman
said, with a maximum temperature
reading of 93 degrees. Although
this was recorded on the last _day
of June, it was officially read on
July 1, and is counted as in July,
she explained.

Science Scans
Color Pattern
in Night Sky
AUSTIN. Tex. (U.R) — Current
studies by scientists at McDonald
Observatory in West Texas may
throw some light on the little-
known structure of the upper
reaches of the earth's atmosphere,
the University of Texas has re-
vealed.
The studies being made are of
shifting films of "invisible" colors
in the night sky. McDonald as-
tronomers, headed by C. T. Elvey,
are examing through special
equipment the variations in pat-
terns of red, green and yfllow
films—shifting across the skies—
but invisible to the naked cy«.
Assisting Dr. Elvey are Poly-
dore Swings, noted Belgian scient-
ist and visiting astronomer at the
University of Chicago, and Walter
Linke, assistant.
The faint glow under examina-
tion probably is caused by the
exitation of particles from 50 to
100 miles above the earth and
possibly related to the daily rota-
tion of the earth, Elvay reported
to university officials.
The astronomers also have noted
t.he presence of occasional lumin-
ous display* similar to the aurora
borealis but not limited to th«
northern sky.
