ARMY WILL OFFER EDUCATION HELPS General Staff Is Prepared to Start Recruiting 46,000 Men. BY NELSON M. SHEPARD. Uncle Sam's long finger will be | beckoning soon to some 46,000 Amer- | ican youths, sound of mind and body | ~—for the Regular Army is on the eve of its biggest recruiting campaign since the World War. With the ex- pectation that Congress will send the Army supply bill to the President authorizing an increase in enlisted strength from 118,750 to 165,000 men, | the general staff in Washington has been set for months and is rarin’ to go. Under changed conditions, the re- cruiting slogan will be “join the Army | and get an education.” And the | Army is prepared and equipped to make good its promise. For each of the 46.250 jobs thlt‘ eventually will be filled, the general staff expects at least 100 applicants | or more. They will come from the | high schools, even from the ranks of college graduates, from the farms and the small country towns. No longer does the Army recruiting offi- cer have to take what he can get. ‘The years of the depression combined with the new educational program in the Army, as well as in the Navy| and Marine Corps, has changed all | that. The Army now picks and chooses, and recruiting officers will | tell you they are mighty particflar Wwhom they choose. If you are between the ages of 18 — __EDUCATIONAL. Civil Service Exam.

C, By 15 Pretty Girls Elders, Deacons Among Mrs. Margaret Blair Portier Dies With Daughter Few Feet Away. While her 2-year-old daughter stood several steps away, Mrs. Margaret Blair Portier, 35, was killed by an electric shock at noon yesterday, pre- sumably as she attempted to attach an _electric vibrator machine to a wall socket while lying in the bath- tub in her apartment at 3621 Newark street. A certificate of accidental death was issued by Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald. Mrs. Portier called for help and her brother, William Renn of Shamo- kin, Pa, ran in from the living room | and found his sister hanging over the side of the tub gasping for breath. Physician Summoned. Renn placed her on a bed and summoned a physician. The latter tried for some minutes to revive her before pronouncing her dead. The husband, Pierre Portier, chef at the Washington Hotel, who was away at the time, was summoned, but did not arrive until some time after his wife had died. The little daughter, Lucie, was play- ing in the bathroom after taking the vibrating machine to her mother a few minutes before.

Radjo communications is now one | of the most popular of all the Army courses, for it is a comparatively new field and a good radio operator usually can get a job. For men in the Air | Corps there is opportunity to take | courses as aircraft armorers and weld- ers, riggers and special aircraft me- chanics. The finance department and | Quartermasters’ Corps specialize in auditing, clerical work, cooking and baking. No longer can an Army cook get by with cookery limited to beans, spuds and coffee. He must be an expert in his line, skilled in callories | and diatetics. The Army bakeries and cooking schools today are models of their kind. For other ambitious enlisted men the various arms of the service offer special training in motqr mechanics, metal welding, telegraph, telephone |as well as radio communications, | horse shoeing, saddling, and a score | of other useful trades.
