.When tho members of the National Guard
of Pennsylvania mobilize at Mount flictna,
they will bo lit Ht subjected, each man, to
a thorough physical examination.' nnd will
nlso bo subjected to a prophylactic treat
ment or Injection for tho pievcntlon of ty
phoid, on three different occasions of a
week each apart. Besides thoso who liavo
nji been recently vaccinated for smallpox
must also undergo the operation again.
Thoso who fall to pass tho physical exam
ination will bu sent home.
Surgeon Major George S Crampton, M. D..
of the First Ilrigndo X. (J. I'.. whose resi
dence is 1700 Walnut street, said the pres
ent physical condition of the men of the
Xntlon.il Guard of Pennsylvania, while not
all that could bo desired, Is better now, than
It has ever been before.
"For the last 10 years," he said, "tho
physical standard for membership In tho
National Guard has been constantly raised,
till now It Is tho same as that of tho regu
lar nrmy. Of couiso we may not forco the
requirements ipilte as ilgidly as Is dono for
the regulars, but there is very little dif
ference." When asked what wns tho percentage of
rejections among applicants for tho .Na
tional Guard he said It varied a good deal,
but offhand It appropriates 10 pur cent.
"In examining a candidate for the Na
tional Guard," bald Dr. Crampton, "ue be
gin with his head and go nil over lilni to
tho soles of his feet.
"First, he must bo at least C feet i Inches
In height. We examine his eyes, nnd If
they nre in the least crossed ho Is rejected.
His hearing must bo good, the noso and
mouth In good condition. Bad teeth Qr the
loss of a certain number nro also cnuso for
rejection. Chest measurement must bo up
lo requirements, the slzo varying In piopor
tlon to height nnd other measurements.
I.uugs must bo perfect nnd the condition of
tho feet is very important. Marching Is
ono of the most lmportnnt duties of a sol
dier, and tho members which perform that
service must bo in a condition to do so
without full. Tho loss of a little linger
would not disqualify If everything else was
right."
Asked If tho National Guard members
would liavo to submit to another physical
examination before going to Mexico, Doctor
Crampton said:
"Most emphatically yes. There aro men
In tho rnnks who weio examined for ud
mlHtdon three years ago who may not be
able to pas tho physical examination
now. When they mobilize at Mount Gretna,
In addition to a thorough physical exam
ination, thoso who aio not rejected will llrst
receive tho prophylaxis Injection to prevent
typhoid infection. Some, especially In our
engineers' coips, hae had that already, so
they could go to the Mexican border nt
once. There nro threo sep.irato Injections
of this piophylaxis given; eacli Is adminis
tered a wcuk apart. This would not neces
sailly mean a detention nt Mount Gretna
for threo weeks, as arrangements could be
made to glvo the last Injection on the train.
Besides, each man who has not recently
been vaccinated for smallpox will have to
undergo another vaccination operation.
There nre many other detnlls to bo carried
out In connection with tho physical condi
tion nnd health of the men In thls-moblllza-tlon
ordered by the President, but the State
of Pennsylvania Is thoroughly equipped to
mcot tb6 cmergoncy in a manner uncqualed
by any other State In tho Union, nnd tho
1st Brigade, N. O. P., is fully ready."

An unusually elaborate program has been
tentatively drafted for tho "safe and sane"
Fourth of July celebration to bo held this
year under tho auspices of the Northwest
Business Men's Association, at tho Athletic
iiecreauon Park. 27th and Jefferson streets.
Such celebrations have been highly suc
cessful In past years, but that of 1910 prom
ises to exceed all others In gaiety and the
extent of its patriotic spirit. Frank Fluck,
chairman of tho committee of the Northwest
Business Men's Association, In charge of tho
festivities, predicted today that thousands
of men, women and children would attend
tho celebration. Tho program" may bo re
vised before Independence Day, he an
nounred, but the general plan has been
completed.
nnd evening by a band of wide reputation,
upd evening by a band of wldo reputation.
Many hundreds of children will be treated
to Ice cream, nnd the appetite of the most
voruclous youngster will not be too great
for tho supply of refreshments.
An athletic schedule of unprecedented
rroportlous has also beon arranged. There
will be 100-yard dashes, 449-yard dashes,
potato races, sack races, pole vaulting and
high and broad jumping. There will h n
baseball game In the afternoon, between a
nine representing the Athletic Recreation
Park and another team whose Identity has
not yet been announced.
The capacious field of the park will pro
vide ample space for tho contesting ath
letee. For the sake of classification, ac
cording to ages, the boys will be divided
Into "juniors," "intermediates" and "se
nlors." Since the recreation centre was estab
lished by the city a flagpole has been lack.
Ing. It Is the Intention of the Northwest
Business Men's Association to start a fund
for the purchase of a itaff. A flag will be
raised on Independence Day, with appro
priate ceremonies, to be preceded by a
parade.
The Patriotic Order Sons of America and
other organizations of a similar nature will
be asked to participate in the prooessjon
and ceremonies. It will probably be one of
the largest parades of Its kind ever held
lit the northwestern section of the city.
A display of fireworks, in charge of pyro.
teehnlc, experts, will be one of several fea
tures of the evening's entertainment.
Brigadier General Carroll A. Devol,
Quartermaster Corps, U. S. A., tho one man
In tho service who has had probably moio
experience than any other in transporting
and supplying troops, will review the corps
of tho Pennsylvania Military College ut
Chester today.
Evidently tho Mexican trouble nnd tho
ordcis to tnoblllze tho Nntlonnl Gunrd are
not worrying high otllelals of the War De
partment sulllclently for them to cancel en
gagements mado prior to the present crisis.
Up to n Into hour last night no word had
been received ut tho Pennsylvania Military
( 'ollege to tho .effect thnt General Devol or
General Hugh It. Scott, chief of stnlf of
tho nrmy would not be present nt the com
mencement exercises.
Scores of the alumni descended on Ches
ter last night. They found that tho great
munition factories nt Kddystone Just nbout
owned every hotel In the city. There wasn't
a bed to bo had at any price. Finally the
college came to their rescue by opening its
preparatory school as "Alumni Hotel," bed
and board free.
General Devol, today's reviewing ofllcer,
will be received with an nrtlllery salute
from three-Inch guns on his arrival from
Washington. He Is tho man who had
charge of the transportation of the Ameri
can troops to tho Philippines In the Spanish.
American War, and was, for five years, In
charge of supplying the workers on the
Panama Canal.
General Scott will be present to receive
the degree of Doctor of Military Science, a
degree only once before conferred, and
then upon Mnjor General Leonard Wood.
Seventeen cadets will be graduated, and
John Wanamaker will deliver an address
on preparedness.

WASHINGTON, June !0. Administra
tion officials wcro startled by the receipt
by Secretary of the Navy Daniels of n
dispatch from Commander Knvnnaugji, of
tho gunboat Annapolis, stationed nt Mimat
lan, on tho Pacific coast of Mexico, that a
small boat from tho Annapolis, closo In
shore for a parley regarding the releaso of
two commissioned officers, wns fired on,
and I. M. Laughter, boatswain's mate, sec-
ond class, gravely wounded.
This wns tho first Intimation tho Admin
istration hnd received thnt Cnrrnnza troops
had dared flro on a small boat flying tho
t'nitnd Slntps fine, or that two commis
sioned officers hnd been placed under arrest
by Cnrrnnzlstns at Mazatlan.
Tho dlspalcli follows:
Annapolis, Mazatlan, boat In shore
for parleying with Mexican-!. Knslgn
O. O. Kesslng nnd Assistant Paymaster
Andrew Mownt taken prisoners. Boat
fired on. Boatswain's mate, second
. clnsi, 11. M Laughter, gravely wounded.
Crow returned fire nnd report killing
or wounding about six Mexicans.
Secrolnry Daniel receded this news with
concern. He Immediately wired Admiral
Wlnslow lo telegraph at onco complete de
tails. The gravity of the affair was fully
realized by officials. Should It develop that
tho attnck on tho boat was wanton, quick
notion may follow. Naval officers expressed
satisfaction that tho boat crow returned
tho flro and "got" n halt dozen Mexicans.
According to the Mexican version, which
was received by the Xnvy Department with
frang skepticism, the launch fro mtho An
nnpolls first went to tho boat landing with
tho cruw unarmed nnd wns wnrncd away.
Later tho launch returned, tho men mean
while having armed themselves, two offi
cers Insisting on landing. While they were
parleying with tho Cairanzn officers, "a
drunken Japanese I'.red on the boat." Tho
Wit crew immediately retui ned the fire,
the two officers wero made prisoners nnd
the Carranza troops II red on tho boat. Tho
Lmbnssy nunouncement mado no mention
of casualties, but stated that the two offi
cers wero i pleased later.
An unconfirmed lepoit from Mnzatlnn

The attractiveness of Empire
Red Tires and the 5,000-mile

You know that "Peerless" Red Inner
Tubes give the most service', and we use the
same quality of tough red rubber in Empire
Casings.
