Acting in harmony with the spirit Of this
report, Lieut.. J. A. Moss of the 25th In
fantry, the athletic officer at Fort Missoula,
Mont, who had been drilling a number of
men with bicycles for about year, OBJ
tanned a post order directing him TO or
ganiZe a bicycle corps, to be known as the
Bicycle Corps of the 18th Infantry.
The corps was organized in July, 1896,
and placed on detached service, with in
structions to make extensive marches
through this mountainous country. and
thus test the bicycle thoroughly means
Of transportation for troops. The corps
consisted of eight expert riders; and among
them was one cycle mechanic.
The bicycle means of carrying mes
saees and accommodating has some advan-
tages over a horse, as, for instance, in its
nciselessness. and not needing food and wa
ter; and also in the fact that from its
track it cannot be told in which direction
the rider Is going, as is the case with the
hCrse.
Fort Missoua is situated right in The
heart of the Rocky mountain region, and

the tests made about here would go far to-
ward settling the question of the utility Of
the bicycle for military purposes
The first problem to be solved was one of
packing. This has been so we'll accom-
plished that the corps can go into the field
with all their arms, shelter tents, blankets
and clothing and about five days rations-
the whole extra weight amounting to about
seventy-five pounds-and this all secured to
the bicycle in such a way that the soldier
carries no equipments on his person but his
canteen and cartridge belt.
A drill has been developed founded upon
the principles of the cavalry drill, the corps
moving In sets of twos instead of in sets
or tours, and the riders move, mount and
dismount with clock-like precision.
The first trip made was from this post up
into the Flathead country, crossing minor
mountains and streams and going over
roads that verv little more than trails.
During the trip a severe storm came up
and the roads became muddy and the trav-
lance of 126 miles in three days and a half,
and returned to the post in good condition.
The time actually spent in travelling was
about tWenty-four hours, making aver
age of over five miles an hour. and, includ-
Ing the delays caused by the rain, they
made an average of thirty-siX miles a day.
This Is about twice the distance that foot
soldiers could make carrying their equip
5nelts and rations, and was done at much
less expense than the same distance could
be made by mounted troops The first
days march was fifty-one miles, and on

WASHING SWEATERS.
Various Methods That Have Been

various Methods That Have Been
Used and Shown to he Good.
TO wash sweater requires more care
and skill than person would ordinarily
| imagine. 1t should be washed in warm
water, in which borax has been dissolved
about tablespoonful to a pail of water
and rnsed in warm water. Care must be
exercised to prevent it from shrinking. A
cotton sweater is 10 trouble to wash. The
ordinary method of clothes washing suf-
| fees.
Another method is as follows: Into ket-
| tie containing about a quart of water cut
half cake of soap in small pieces. letting
the water boil until the soap is dissolved
Half fill a waShtub with hot water taking
| care not to have boiling water, as that is
bound 10 shrink the wool. Place the sweat
er in the tub and pour over it the dissolved
soap water. Work the sweater well be-
tween the hands a washboard but
do not use soap on the sweater direct, as
1t will cause spots and streaks after it has
dried.
Another method is to use gasoline alone
Use enough gasoline to fairly wet the
sweater and take the dirt out, working the
woolen goods well with the hand. Squeeze
out all of the gasoline possible after the
sweater has been cleaned and hang I'D to
dry.
One of the best recipes is given bv q
well-known local wheelman: Take nail
about two-thirds full of water. In ex-
tremely cold weather the water may be
tempered little, though for washing the
sweater it should be more cold than warm
Take cake of good laundry soap and rub
between the hands for few moments in
| the water Soap containing too much
alkali will have an injurious effect Add a
teaspoonful of ammonia and STIR If the
garment Is very dirty, add more ammonia
Let the sweater soak for at least a quarter
OF an hour and twice as long if dirty Then
souse and knead it with the hands enough
| to squeeze the dirt out Turn inside out
ana repeat the process. Put the garment
IN another pail and rinse thoroughly sew
eral times. keeping up the kneading pro-
cess. Then lay the sweater over a line or
a wooden frame to permit the water to
drip on and the sweater to dry. The dry
ing process should not be in the sun. Wind
or the fire is generally better No ironing
is necessary, and when the garment is dry
turn inside out and the sweater is ready
for use " u'
