wagon of the regiment will cal: there
and take the periodicals t. the bar
racks.
The magazines will help the men to
pass the time" said Chaplain john
son. Those who have them will con-
fer a kindness on the men sh... up at
the barracks by seeing they are left
at the Y. M. c. A. We can use lots of
them. Periodicals with stories and pic
lures arc what the men like"
CROW STANDS SPONSOR.
Owing to the fact the quarantine
had been posted at the barracks to-
wards evening last night and that there
were two dances scheduled for the
entertainment of the troops, at the
Moose and knights Of Pythias halls,
some trouble was experienced in keep
ing the soldiers on the barracks
grounds. Commanding officers were
allowed to issue special permits to the
enlisted men in their command to
leave the barracks, conditioned, that
they visit no moving picture theaters,
dance halls. theaters or other enclosed
buildings.
When the provost guard appeared
at the Moose hall to round up the
violators of the quarantine order, Lieu
tenant Colonel Phil II. Crow informed
Sergeant Robins, in charge of the
guard, that he would be responsible
for any Of the enlisted men who were
attending the dance. Lieutenant Col
onel Crow interpreted the order is
sued at headquarters as only forbid
ding the men to enter places where
there were children. The provost
guard waited for orders from Captain
Jeter, officer of the day. The guard
was ordered returned to the barracks
just before midnight.
MEN WANTED TO DANCE.
The enlisted men appeared to be
| determined to dance regardless oil
measles breaking out at the barracks
and, while the guard was posted al
the entrance of the Knights Of Pyth-
| las hall, they found the back stairway
entrance and gained the hall, where
they spent the evening enjoying the
/ hop.
| The quarantine order posted is but
! temporary, although If there is danger
Of an epidemic of measles it will be
made permanent and the officers ane
enlisted men in that event will bs
forced to remain within the barracks
until the contagion has passed.
Invitations have been issued by the
entertainment committee of the Com,
mercial club to commissioned officer:
and regular army officers with tn,

Owyhee hotel, commencing at 9:St

antine does not interfere.
