Doughboys Marvel
At Russian Peasanl
WITH THE AMERICAN TROOPS
IN NORTH RUSSIA—The habits anc
customs of the North Russian peasant)
are sources pf wonder to the Americar
solders. The peasants are primitlv)
and ard content to reside where the
average American housewife would rof
np her sleeves and spend many day)
In scrubbing before she would live
In these wooden or log huts hundred)
of Yankee infantrymen and engineer)
are billed this winter saye a New York
Times' correspondent.
| The Americans, generally speaking,
| occupy one half of the house and the
family the other. The Americans’ half
is as clean as constant policing can
make it. Tut as for the other half,
; thc-io are chickens, husky dogs of the
arctic type, and from two to fourge
. nerations of peasants wandering more
j or less miscellaneously about their one
I or two rooms.
“But they keep the chikens cooped
up part of the day" the correspondent
adds; they only let them out in the
morning to police the kitchen which is
easier than to sweep out.
The Russian family’s side of all these
houses is airtight. It is bitterly cold up
here in the forests during the six
months’ winter and the peasant doesn’t
believe in wasting heat. His windows
are sealed up tight and never never
opened. He doesn’t mind th resultant
odor.
But the American does and he opens
j the windows in his side of the house,
, and the peasant shakes his head grave
' ly and worries for fear his strange
' khaki-clad guests will catch coin,
But the American doesn’t catch cold,
| and neither does the peasant for that
matter in his airtight rooms. Both sys
tems seem to work equally well. Since
the cold weather has really set in the
soldier and civilian populations have
both been surprisingly healthy.
One peasant habit which the Ameri
| can makes countless jokes about is as
l time honored and unswerable amonc
I the Russians as it is strange to the
Americans, that is sleeping on the
! stove. The Russian village stoves are
built of brick or clay or porcelain They
are about as large as an ordinary
American bathroom and flat on top,
except where the brick chimney pokes
through. One stokes once or twice a
day until all the wood is burned out
: and then closes them up, letting the
neated bricks radiate then- warmtn
I The flat tops of these stoves are bed
spaces for the eldest or most honored
of the families. American officers
; have surprised many peasant hosts by
declining invitations to use these
i choicest of all beds.
DRAFT WILL SAVE LIVES
WASHINGTON, — Vital statistics,
made available to the government as
a result of the selective draft process
es—especially trom tne scientific
physical xamination of 3,208,446 men
_will be the means of savings hun
dred times as many lives as were lost
in the war, in the opinion of Maj.
Gen Enoch Crowder, Provost Mar
'shal General,
While no attemp has been made as
yet to study the information derived
from the physical examination of reg
istrants, a local board for Division No,
129. in New York City, has made an
auspicious start throught the careful
indexing of the results obtained in 600
cases, with the view of turining these
ever to medical authorities for analy
sis, Already the figures seem to indi
cate clearly that foreign born regis
trants were of lower physical stand
ard than native boro,
Of every 100 men called for service
under the draft, examining officials
found 2.76 per cent were suffering
from defects which could be remedied
entirely if the applicants submitted to
a sho-t and simple course. The ori
ginal plan of the draft authorities—
] to induct these men and have their
! defects corrected at army hospitals
was dropped because of the lack of
facilities, but ..Government officials
lhave not abandoned entirely the idea
j of Federal assistance in this recon
‘ struction work under some future so
| cial betterment program.
Registrants who possessed physica
defects of such degree as to prevent
i them from rendering military serv
ice of any kind totalled 521,606 anc
constituted 16.2 per cent of the tc
tal examined. These included organic
| diseases of internal Organs, markec
■ visual or aural defects, mental dlseas
es and deficiencies, muscular paraly
sis, disfiguring and disabling deform!
ties, and lastly, physical under-devel
opment. Study of this class, it Is be
lieved, would show basic causes cap
able of being eliminated from futurf
generations through social hygiene
campaigns, " competent medical supei
vision, and advice and physical exer
cises, scientifically proscribed.
DAWSON, Y. T.—The Royal North
: west Mounted Police expedition
