are broken from handling picks and
shovels and putting up tents. The
youth whose sole duty for fifty weeks
in a year lies in skillfully acting as a
chauffeur for a fountain pen finds that
clerical work is no foundation for the
life of an artil!eryman or an infantry
man detailed for ,sr ecial duty on the
picket line Besides that, the first two
days of District National Guard camp
is mixture Of weather conditions that
reminds one somewhat Of a medley. Ask
any guardsman and he will tell you
that every time the guard goes to carip
it rains, halls, SHOWS, thuncers. light
nings. earthquakes and tidal waves dur
ing the first forty-eight hours. There
is freezing weather at first call at half
past five am, so that heavy clothes
must be worn. Then suddenly. without
a premonition or word of warning,
when the men are running like rabbits
chasing an imaginary enemy into the
far-off frontier, the sun blazes down
with a change of temperature that
sends the mercury up to the top of the
tube. To use the expression of the first
sergeant of the 44th Company of the
Coast Artillery Corps. 'It gets hotter
than thirty seven brands of tabasco
picked perdition, and the sun shines
like the farm hinges of burnin'
guardhouse" You can see that the first
sergeant knows.
So with the aching limbs and tired
backs and befuddled brain. the first two
days in camp are funereal in a way. But
after the drills or fleldwork in the
morning Of the third day a few brave
hearts will venture out on the parade

Some Blanket Tossing.
OF course there are scraps. Sometimes
for blood and sometimes purely out OF
the healthful, fun-loving. can't-keep-it-
down spirit of all Americans. Wrestling
matches are as thick as the streets will
allow sometimes. A champion of one
company is egged on by his admiring
hackers eager to see somebody slaugh-
tered, until he is finally made to believe
he can throw the champion of another
company. Sometimes they let the men
have a blanket to wrestle on and some
times it occurs on the hard, hard surface
of the camp ground. And when 1t Is
over there is blood. real. red blood. for
the company streets are hardened by
the tramp of many big, broad feet and the
bare shoulders of the Wrestlers have

The new soldiers also spent great deal
of time in obeying orders that are never
to be found in the regulations. The High
School boys were not easily fooled on this
point. as they know something about tao
tics. ETC., but the callow, ambitious and
altogether new soldier will take OFF a
pound of flesh minute in an effort to
please his superiOrs. For that reason did
four of these brilliant specimens report
to their captain in a state of undress that
brought several new expletives into the
English language The quartet marched

After a little while more brave ones
will join in the game; and generally
the first sign of returning confidence in
the physical ability of the guardsmen
is a game Of ball played in khaki and
leggins. with perhaps company officer
for umpire. At one Of the first games
of ball played at Fort Hunt this year
a colonel whose name must be hidden
from the public asked to be admitted
to the team.
That's all right. boys. Remember. I'm
one of the gang now" And they treated
him accordingly. They spiked him at first
base second base and third base. They
would not allow him to go to first when
the pitcher carefully hit him with the
ball. They called him out on general
principles. At last, when he had man
aged to knock ball into the field. some
one yelled, Run, you fat swab; get those
legs a-movin'" That was too much for
the colonel. He came to a halt midway
between first and second, stiffened up and
declared In a loud voice:
I'm an officer again. and walked off
the field.
Then, of course. there is that form of
hazine which the old campaigners man
age to rub into the rockies. Somehow
or other there are always certain num-
her of tried and true soldiers who have
lust enough experience to get the other
man to do his work. and the other man
is generally a very raw subject. When
the tents were up last Sunday. and the
digging of bitches throughout the camps
was in order, the High School boys whose

The most time-honored custom of blan.
