Fort Smelling, Mimi, May 23.-I am
breaking BUTTERFLIES bread today with
1000 future Funstons.
l am looking over the chaps you
and | will have to salute when we
answer the. selective service call.
Forty thousand in all are being
broken in, in various parts of the
country and 1000 OF THIS 10000
WILL BE WEARING SOLDIERS
STRAPS WITHIN A MONTH.
There's the keenest competition go
ing on to be among the first thousand
at odds of 80 to l..
This camp is typical of the II others
scattered over the country.
There are "single camps" at Sack
etss Harbor, N. V; Fort Niagara
near Buffalo; Fort Myer, Virginia
Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. which is near
Chattanooga; Fort MCPHERSON, at At
lanta; Fort Roots, at Little Rock
Ark. Fort Smelling, near st. Paul;
Fort Riley near Junction City, Kas.
Leon Springs, close to ASH Antonio
Texas, and the Presidio of San Fran
cisco.
Uncle Sam doesn't think thirteen
camps make an unlucky number.
There's wealth as we'll as crudition
among those present. saw today
the son of North Dakota llabob help
ing an overalled negro tote mortar
board; and the scion of hotel family
that charges 10 cents for butter ate
bread today without any butter-as
did 1000 others. ~
Few tents are up; the men are hous-
ed in permanent barracks or in ''can-
tonments' -long wooden sheds. One
section of the military reservation is
all environments under construction.
Take. away the green grass and-.it
would lock like Columbus, N. NJ.
did, shortly after the Villa raid.
The rat-tat-tat of hammers can hard
ly be distinguished from the bangety-
bang of rifles on the target range.
Lads who used to rise lazily at or
1870 now spring out of their cots at
the first blast OF the $50 bugle.
All day they march and drill and
study and sweat, and perspiratlon is
just as sticky under the Minnesota
sun as it is down by the Rio Grande.
I saw one man collapse from the
heat. Standing at attention, he fell
forward suddenly, without bending,
and the four students nearest picked
him up. Nobody else paid any at
tention. They get used to little
things like that. .s
A quarter of the rockies have not
received complete uniforms; sprink-
ling OF civilian clothes in the drilling
ranks shows this.
The men drill as privates in the
army do; they've got to learn to be
soldiers before they can be officers
They carry rifles and wear bayonets.
Khaki columns are tramping all the
nearby roads in the early forenoon.
when in doubt. salute" is a camp
motto; students will salute almost any
body they don't know until they learn
to tell an honest-to-goodness officer
when they see one.
No evidence of snobbishness or cad
dishness crops out; $1O,00O-a-year men
fraternize with ex-regulars fresh from
the factory.
Eighty per cent of the Minnesota
men and somewhat smaller proper
ton of the others are college students
or graduates.

MOTHER SEEKS TO
!. RECOVER BABE she
LONG AGO FORSOOK
Pathetic Drama Enacted in Bur.
leigh County District Court
Yesterday
WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
Is ASKED FOR BY PARENT

Tears streamed down the cheeks of
Hanna Beckwold of Minneapolis as
she sat in district court yesterday
afternoon and saw her baby, grown
to be a beautiful little blue-eyed, gol-
den-haired girl of three, caress an
other woman whom she called mother,
while she looked upon her natural
parent as stranger.
When the baby came Hanna did not
know what to do with her. She was
easily persuaded to- leave her in a
"home'. 4 Sch was asked to sign a
paper, her attorney told Judge
Nuessle. She could not read and
write, and when she asked that the
contents be read to her she was adj
vised that it was mere fOrmallty.
That paper was an assignment Of all
her interests in the child to the Min
neapolis home in which it was placed.
A few months later, substantial
farmer folk of Burleigh county found
in Hanna's rolypoly little baby the
light which had been denied their
home.
Mother Love Dawns
Fortune smiled on aEnna Beck
void. She learned to read and write
her adopted tongue. Her earnings
increased, and with bettered circum-
stances came yearning for the little
form she had clasped to her breast
for such a brief time. When she
went to the home she found the. bab,
gone. Her lawyer traced the little
one to its foster parents. Then he
applied in the Burleigh county district
court for a writ of habeas corpus to
recover the child.
The case came up for hearing yes
terday, with both mothers in court.
The only mother the babe has ever
known sat with the little one who was
the central figure in the drama clasp
ed tightly in her arms, as she rocked
to and fro, fraught with emotion. In
another part of the court room sat
the child's mother, straining her eyes
for a glimpse Of the beautiful bit OF
childhood whom she had borne and
abandoned. And surrounding each
litigant was party of sympathetic
friends.
+ Because of certain features OF the
case, it is probable the supreme court
will be asked to assume original jur-
isdiction or to name a referee. For
this reason Judge Nuessle yesterday
continued the case until the attorney
for Hanna Eastwood can determine
his course. ....

physical training for all in

physical advisor employed by
The Tribune to teach readers

how to become physically fit.
A more severe exercise than this
is to stand on one foot with the other
sticking out in front and then to low
er and raise the body. Very few men
can do this, but by sticking at today's
first exercise long enough there is no
reason why every man should not be
able to do it. Exercises similar to
this have been adopted as the stand
ard in the u s. army. IN
had an oarsman few years ago
who had magnificent development
of the arms. shoulders and chest. But
his thighs were all out of proportion
to the rest of his body. He was built
something like Bob FitzsimmOns. Yet
by following out these leg exercises
for five months he added 80 inches
to his thighs.
Good stiff walking and hopping,
first on one foot and then on the
other, will work wonders in adding
to the muscles of the legs.
