men IN THE
SIGNAL CORPS AT CAMP
Set a Hot Pace for Members of the
Fourth Regiment Change of
Mess System.

SEA GIRT, July 31:-College
men are setting a fast pace in camp
this week-too fast, it seems, for
the Fourth Regiment, since the rou-
tine of duty which the organization
is following does not compare with
that of the Signal Corps for the
amount of work accomplished. The
Signal Corps is Il crack organization
and numbers among it's membership
graduates from many of the promi-
rent universities and colleges.
That college men can be practical
soldiers and hard work is being dem
Cnstrated this week by the corps.
Before the Fourth Regiment had
gotten to work they had erected a
forty-foot signal tower and had it in
use for practical work. The tower
il made of structural iron, of con-
venient lengths, and is triangular in
shape. 1t weighs 1,200 pounds, and
may be easily transported.
1t is estimated that the state will
save from $4,000 to $4,000 a regi-
ment in the change in the mess sys-
tenn from the serving of meals in the
mess hall to the company mess. The
men of the Fifth Regiment were well
pleased with the change, and so ex-
pressed themselves to Governor
Stokes.
