DOING Why more Iowa men than usual have been rejected lately at the national army camps was explained to examining physicians for local boards of the second congressional district of Iowa at a meeting held at Blackhawk hotel in this city Tuesday afternoon. Dr. D.

S. Fair-child of Clinton gave the report of rejections for the second district Numerous doctors present took part in the discussion. It developed at the meeting that the state of Iowa ranked, fifth in its showing concerning rejections, only four other states having fewer men rejected after they had arrived at the cantonments. The state record has been 3 per cent and that of Alabama, which Is poorest of any of the states, has been 17 per cent The meeting was called especially to discuss the recent increase in rejections for the state of Iowa. It developed at the discussion that numerous examining physicians had misinterpreted the ruling on registrants having hernia and had sent them to camps, where they were rejected.

Eyesight also caused other rejections. In Scott county there have been many hernia cases, but these have been looked after before the men were sent to camps. Physicians in this county have performed operations for hernia free, when young men were' patriotic enough to submit to the operation that they might enter the service. This policy had not been generally adopted in other counties of the district. Present at the meeting were 38 examining physicians for local boards.

Doctors from Muscatine. Iowa City, Maquoketa, Clinton and Davenport were present at the session. Four Million The resources of the Union Savings Bank A Strong Bank are over Four Million Dollars.
