Seymour.
In Mrs. Shelton's address. she said:
when the Mayflower brought our
ancestors to these shores, pewter had
just begun to take the place of wood
for dishes, just as the Revolutionary
war marked the victory of porcelain
over pewter. The Indians made wood
en- bowls and made them for the
white settlers. These wooden trench
ers were used by the colonists for
more than a century. Two people in
a family ate out of one dish, and one
man was defeated for an office en- ac-
count of his pride in furnishing a sep
arate dish for each member of his
household. Pottery was not common
in American homes until the middle of
the Eighteenth century. The wealthy
planters of Virginia used china Ions
before il was used in New York.
After the Revolution English potters
sent over to this country platters and
plates decorated with pictures of show

DUTIES OF OUR SOLDIERS
Strenuous Training and Discipline at

A soldiers day Is from the first note

writer in the National Magazine OBJ
serves. In the gray light OF daybreak
the bugle calls him from sleep. From
that moment until retreat sounds at
sunset the day is one of strict routine
and discipline.
A rough outline of a routine day at
Fort Myer is: Rise, roll call, break
fast, groom horses, fall in line for drill.
which lasts several hours or until time
for the MONDAY dinner. For the after
noon there are various designated du-
ties for officers and men, which may
include attendance at lectures, or dem
onstration work, board meetings, court
martial, training for extra drills, at
tendance at military funerals and
other services, either obligatory or vol
untary. At sunset again comes roll
CALL followed by one of the most inn
pressive ceremonies Of the day.
The troops assemble, facing the col
ors; the band plays the "Star Spangled
Banner" as the colors are slowly low
cred, every man standing at attention
till they reach the ground. The sunset
gun booms across the field; the bugle
sounds retreat, and the garrison work
day is over.
The strenuous routine and spirit of
patriotism that pervades post life
teaches reverence for the flag as moth

outside the flag means much, but to
the trained man of the army it is his
