on.
If members of the Signal Corps COM
pany were to coliaborate tonight in
writing a dictionary it is a pretty safe
bet they would never be satisfied with
"quadruped" as the only definition of
the noun horse" Chances are their
dictionary would read. Horse, a fero-
cious beast that kicks with both its
fore and hind feet and also bites with
its teeth; a dangerous animal that
jumps corral fances and raises the
devil in general"
Experience to Be Remembered.
And, what's more, these Signal Corps
men would be entirely justified, for to-
day they went through an experience
that has completely changed their
minds regarding horses in general and
army remounts in particular. It con-
sisted of getting eighty-nine head of
horses and mules out of box cars,
down a runway into a corral, putting
halters on them and leading them to
the Signal Corps camp, about a mile
away. On paper it does not sound like
much, but in reality it was an expert
ence that the Signal Corps men long
will remember.
The Signal Corps company's 1ong-de-
1ayed allotment of mounts and draft
animals arrived at Warren about 2:30
o'clock this afternoon, having been
shipped from Ell Paso yesterday. The
animals had been boxed up in four
cars for hours and were in a nervous.
frightened state. The slightest dis
turbance threw them into panic.
The horses and mules had been Sc
lected from among the thousands of
mounts and craft animals that were
brought together at Ell Paso some
weeks ago in readiness to be shipped
to the various regular army and militia
units along the border in need of them.
Disease broke out among the animals,
and the whole lot was placed in quar-
antine. 1t was not until quite recently
that the quarantine was lifted and the
shipment of aflotments to the various
organizations was resumed.

LAUDS REPUBLICAN TARIFF.
Mr.. Towner Tells Women of Sixteen
Years of Prosperity,

That the sixteen years Of republican
tariff were the most prosperous in
the country's life. and that five months
after the passage of the Underwood
tariff law 100000 men in the United
States were looking for work, was
asserted by Representative Horace
Towner of Iowa in an address before
the Woman's National Republican
Club at the New Willard Hotel last
evening. He urged the women to be-
come acrive and support those who are
protecting the homes of the nation and
its working people.
The republican party has always
stood for a protective tariff because it
believes that by SO doing it protects
the great body of the American people.
Under the low tariff. he said, scores
of factories closed their doors, and the
free soup and bread lines were never
before SO popular.
Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker presided.
The next meeting is to be held Wednes-
day evening at the New Willard Hotel,
at which time two United States Sena-
tors are expected to deliver addresses.
