We have. OF course. men from
nearly every trade and profession In
the camp, but most OF them are com
paratively young
There are many college men In the
marine corps, several hundred com.

nesota alone. There are four or Ave
members OF last years University OF
oregon football team. including the
the captain. Johnny Beckett. There
are also prominent athletes from
many other universities and athletic
clubs and a number OF professional
boxers an wrestlers. A man aix feet
tall and weighing hundred and
eighty or two hundred pounds is
scarcely noticed because there are 30
many 81 them The men here live
Just scout the same us they do else
where. Many OF them do not smoke
or drink while others do. though. of
course there Is no liquor on the Is
land and they cannot get II elsewhere
while In uniform.
For man who II going into the

admitted now The height require
ment IN two inches greater than the
army or navy and the examination Is,
In general. more severe. In addi-
tion. the training received IL more
versatile. The marines will fight on
either sea or land. In fact they have
always been IN the thick OF Il and the
present war will doubtless not offer
any exception. The men in camp
here take instruction seriously but
talk very little OF the war.
There Is one thing should like to
urge upon the folks at home and that
is TO be prompt In writing TO all the
tho boys who are away. am sure all
the others feel the same AK do about
this, There are lot OF fine fellows
In camp here and am kept fairly
busy ! suppose Il Is the same with
the other Ontario boys in their
camps. hut no matter how good the
conditions. the people are still strane-
ers and letters from home are the
ones needed TO make for content
ment, This seems a small enough
thing 10 ask OF those who stay at
home while We are away preparing
FOR the actual fighting. As long as
we are In camp we can answer the
letter we receive. but when we once
get on board ship or on the firing line
Il is probable that we will have to
send printed cards. IL will be then,
OF course. that the letters will be-
most appreciated. and we will ex-
pect our friends TO write more then
than now, even though they get only
highly unsatisfactory cards in re-
turn.
All OF the old men in the service
and the officers thoroughly believe
that we are in real war and that II
will end only after two years or more
aud that our losses will be severe be-
fore It Is over. have found the most
optimism so far among the people

COLLlDED WITH A BUMBLEBEE
Aviator Finds There Are Other Things
Besides AirpIanes That It Is Not
Safe to Encounter in the Air.


Birds and alrplanes are not the only
flying things with which it is possible
for an aviator to have a serious col
llslon. The author of Tales Of the
Flying Service" gives as an instance
a strange accident that occurred in
france.
Not long ago, he says, I ran across
an aviator I know, looking very much
annoyed and with one eye seriously
ohstructed by a large confused swell
ing on his cheekbone. Thinking that
he had had 0 smash Of some kind,
probably a bad landing in which he
had been pitched against the front Of
his machine. ! asked him what had
happened
lie explained that about six hours
earlier he was starting out on a fast
biplanc, and was going full speed
on the ground in order to get a good
jump into the air, when he met a large
sized bumhlebce going In a hurry in
the opposite direction.
'You see" he explained Il was do
ing about sixty Knots due east, and
he was doing between thirty-fve and
forty knots due west, and he was a
large bee. and the impact was some
thing terrific. And. he added vim
dlctively, Il hope he has spilled all
his honey and that he's still uncon-
scious youths Companion.

Dearest Dolores l have laughed my
self sick over your letter. Not that
don't sympathlze with you, child, and
perfectly understand how black every
thing looks to you right now. But, my
dear, a word Of advice from one who
has had experIence-and a vast deal
OF observation just as good. Don't
know thing about this letter you have
found; never let 1t be known that you
have found 1t.
of course you love your hubby. and
no doubt he's perfectly wild about you.
The fact that ne may have unwittingly
been tangled up in this affair is no
reflection on you.
So, just as / say Dolly don't ever
breathe n word Of it to Jack-or to
anyone else by all means-and every
thing will blow over in time, even your
own distress, and life be as placid as
Southern lake.
Drop me a line and tell me you've
been a sensible little girl, won, vou7

tionately. CECILE.

"Few people have been more closely as-

astounding inner machinery Of Ger

LeQueux probably has more sources
OF secret Information at his command
than any contemporary in civil life, and
for the last six years the British Cow
