Howell McMath mas walked his
post for many moons, but never in
such a manner as he walked it last
night, when Company l. was on regi-
mental guard for Camp Cotton; and
'WahoOchee" makes the assertion
that it was some guard. McMath
went on guard with the second relief
at eight o'clock, and was given post
number six, right on the border, and
received steel-jackets to help him
along with his task. And at ten
o'clock "Wahoochee's" relief came,
with the measured tread of the mill
tary man, and the border, he knew,
was near. But Howell McMath, long
Of limb, and long of military affairs is
short on memory, and shorter on his
knowledge of direction and distance
But, to the story again-IIis relief
was coming, and from the regulation
direction, but McMath had forgotten
which way the relief would come, and
the body of men coming with lights
playing all around with the shadows,
resembled Mexicans, and Howell
thought his relief would come from
the opposite direction. SO "Wahoo-
Chez" remembering his instructions
sent out the warning; but the bunch
didn't halt. Halt, who goes there?"
again rang out in the stiffness of the
Mexican night, but the body of men
didn't hesitate; the next call to halt
was feeble, for INC" had put few
hundred yards between him and the
"Mexicans", and of course Howell was
surprised to hear one of the men call
in bona fide Queens English, "A gang
of rabbits don't you want our hind
foot?" Howell came back and told
the relief how near death they came,
but the boys wondered at "Wahoo-
chees" lack of breath left, and
thought their chances for a military
death were slim with Howell at the
business end Of Springfield Model

 Senator Thomas called attention to Mir Fishers suggestion that raising the pay of the regular army to $50 a month would bring in all the men necessary. The general said this merely would eN- tend the evils of an already hopeless military system that had failed the na- ton in every war.

DEMAND INCREASING FOR
TRAINED ROAD ENGINEERS

College and university students who
specialize in the highway engineering
branches OF civil engineering courses
will find unusual opportunities hence
forth OF securing early employment
and good pay after winning their
degrees.
There has lonr been a decided lack
OF trained road engineers. and the de-
nand for them is increasing rapidly.
Probably no other branch in engineer
ms offers such sure reward at this
time
Eighteen state highway commits
sions out OF Iwcnty-tour reporting to
the National Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce, in New York City, state
that there is lack Of trained road
engineers, and sixteen say that pref
erence would be given 10 graduates OF
college highway engineering courses
in the appointment OF additional road
engineers.
Nearly 1905 engineers arc nov en-
ployed By the twenty-four state COM
missions. and, in addition. about 1000
are employed IS county and city
cineers IN nineteen OF the States
Salaries OF highway engineers range
from $500 20 $1,000 year. The aver
age Is about $500.

ENCOURAGES SAVING
AMONG ALL EMPLOYEES

I" encourage thu. spirit OF saving
among employees. Charles h. whitteI-
scy. president OF the Hartford factory
OF tho United states Tire Company, has
written TO those OF his workers who
arc with Uncle SAINTS forces on the
border. and who left behind dependents,
suggesting that thcT wages every al
tornatc week he deposited in n savings
bank. rather than the entire amount
being paid weekly to their dependents.
AS was announced some weeks ago,
the United States Rubber Company and
It's subsidiaries. which include the
Hartford Company, are allowing fun
pay Ia all employees answering the
call 10 arms. as we'll as holding opcn
their positions until their return 1t
consequently followed that while the
pay went on as usual the men enlist
ing shifted the responsibility of pro-
viding for their own needs over TO the
government. Hence the suggestion for
savings.
That Mr.. Whittelsey's idea has met
with favor is indicated by the number
of mon who have put 1t into practice
The list OF dcpositors grows daily,
