John Leslie Ware...the mystery deepens

So last night I found something kind of cool on Ancestry.  If I could save the image, I would, but they won't let me. So I will recreate it for y'all:

I found a WWI registration card that made me go, "hmmm":

SER Numb: 1632  Order Number: 2336

JAY  LESLIE  WARE

Permanent Home Address:
2 (looks like a 2) R.F. (undecipherable--maybe a D?) Salem, Lee, AL

Age in Years:
3__(undecipherable second number)

Date of Birth:
August 15, 1881

Native Born, White

Present Occupation: ENGINEER (This perplexed me. Chris told me I'm thinking too modern. "Engineer probably meant he ran a machine.")
EMPLOYER:
Leo Moreman (I looked him up. Found that at 34, Leo was a road foreman)
PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT OR BUSINESS:
Waverly, Lee, Alabama
NEAREST RELATIVE:  
Daisy E. Ware---wife
Opelika, AL

I AFFIRM I HAVE READ AND VERIFIED ANSWERS AND THEY ARE TRUE:
Signature:
JAY LESLIE WARE

September 15(second number is hard to read) 1918

Are you Jay Leslie? J.Leslie? John Leslie? SPEAK UP! I'm listening!

In other related news: I found this out:

He lived at 814 1/2 Avenue A in Opelika, AL, according to a 1923 directory.

This is the building. It's Alabama Office Supply now.
