PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1s.-sani-
tary milk bottles viii soon follow
sanitary paper drinking cups into
public favor, II plans TO amend the
law governing delivery OF milk in
glass bottles are successful.
At present. use of glass bottles IA
obligatory upon milk dealers. It is
being argued that the new paper bot
ties will be far more sanitary than
the glass milk bottles, as they will
be used but once and then thrown
away. The glass bottles are used
and washed on an average OF seven

The paper bottles may be bought
for less than ! cent each in large
quantities. and will prove less expen-
sive than the glass bottles In the long

Still Contemplates Ordering

: Border Is the Message.
DATE STILL is UNCERTAIN
Colonel Young Hunting for Field
for Sham Battle Near Alex
andria.

Rumors Of being mustered out OF the
service within two weeks were dispelled
today at the District mobilization camp
near Fort Myer by the welcome news
that the War Department still c0ntem-
plates sending the organizations OF the
District militia to the Mexican border
within q short time.
= Although hopeful that these orders
win reach them by the end of this
week. thus permitting entertainment by
the first OF next, none OF the officers
was willing to make any definite fore
cast as to when they will arrive.
That their faith" still lies with the
War Department, and not with the de-
partment of the east, IL shown By the
fact that q letter has been received in
camp from the commander OF the east
ern department. which states definitely
that he has received nothing from the
War Department permitting him to
say how long the District militia will
remain in camp. or when he can for
ward orders for entertainment.
Reply to Officers Inquiry.
This letter was in reply to one from
an army officer. requesting informa-
ton as to when orders might be ex-
pected, as more blankets and extra
clothing would have to be issued to the
militiamen. should they be required to
stay in their present encampment much
longer.
Col. Glendie B. Young. Lieut.. Col.
Anton Stephan and Capt, A. l.. Smith
today rode out of camp In the direction
Of Alexandria to pick a suitable spot
for a sham battle contemplated for the
District militia sometime this week.
They will investigate a stretch of
land bordering on the river which con-
tains woods and fields and presents an
excellent spot for holding maneuvers.

will include the troop OF cavalry, the
battery of artillery. and the Third Regi-
ment.
The war game may occupy three or
four days. and will give the men re-
newed experience in camping In the
open, and relying on outposts and sem
tfnels to save them from night attacks
Company and platoon drill were the
order of the day for the Third Regi-
ment. while the troop of cavalry and
the battery of artillery were drilled In
the usual mounted movements on the
Fort Myer parade ground.
Teaching Care of Mounts.
Capt. c. A. Ferris, United States army
artillery instructor, 10 teaching the men
Of Battery A the proper caro- of their
mounts while ~on the march. and when
stationed at a permanent encampment.
Il has not been definitely decided
whether or not these animals will be
taken to the border. The fact that
many of them are UNIT for strenuous
works leads to the belief that they will
be left behind when the battery goes
to the border. and that new horses VIII
be issued to them on their arrival.
The largest crowd OF visitors since
the encampment attended the religious
services in the Y. NJ. G. A. tent last
night. The tent was Allied with. visitors
from the city. while militiamen were
hacked outside and forced to stand
through the entire services.
