CHILLY STEEL
 THEIR PORTION

Deep bangs of cold fear filled the quaking hearts of many novlces yes terday when it was made known that the committee in charge of arrange ments for the Shrine ceremonial here next Thursday had decided to hold the extreme rDrtures in the armory instead of the Masonic temple as first planned
 Visions of the cold steel of bayonets and of a thousand other fiendish de- vices for prolonging the suffering of the unregenerate sons of the desert, fairly paralyzed many a trembling candidate. whose over wrought imag- ination was already staggering under the strain. Reports that with the more commOdi0us armory at their disposal the Shriners were planning to put the novices through a genuine air raid in which the unfOrtunates would be hurl- ed through space in the place of bombs and then made to walk not only the burning sands but also on a path of burnished bayOnet points, almost drove some of the weaker victims to-be to the madhouse.
 Be that as it may, the wise ones are saving nothing. But the word has gone out by swift camels to the various oases that the coming ceremonial will be one of the greatest events ever put on by Fl Zaribah temple.

ARMY OFFICER HAS
 TO PURCHASE FOOD
Indianapolis News)

tluuIdDd pOllS N6NSJ
 The outfits of the regular army of ficer is a part of his life job. If he is West Point trained. he had a fund when he was graduated which enabled him to purchase everything he needed, and his purchases since them have been extended over a considerable pe- riod, so that his bill for clothing, in cluding civilian clothing, averages per haps no more than that of the aver age will dressed man. His equipment includes also a revolver, a field glass, perhaps a saddle, and various other smaller pieces that the civilian does not as a rule own.
 The new officers who will emerge from the first series Sr training camps face the necessity of buying complete outfits at one time. Of course, these outfits will vary with the tastes and circumstances of the officer, but there are certain essentials which must be bought, and such is the pressure of fashion set by more fastidious officers, that men who are without independ- ent means and who have been obliged to care for dependents out of the $100 a month allowed student officers, are likely to find themselves somewhat embarrassed. This, however, is war time, and the hlgh standard Of ap- pearance observed by the regular. army officers will probably have to suffer somewhat.
 The great difference between the pay of a man in the ranks and the to the lowest commissioned officer is not understood by many to be due largely to the fact that the private is clothed and fed by the government, while the officer provides his own clothing and food. Thus when all cir cumstances are considered the army officer is seldom better paid than a man in a similar position in civilian life and often not nearly so well. The question of outfitting is, therefore important to the reserve officer, es pecially when the uncertainty of his position is considered. The war de- partment should do all it can to re- duce the sacrifice which many of these men must make in going from civilian to temporary military life, bearing in mind. of course. that some sacrifice is essential to the officers interest in the service.

GASOLINE SHELLS
 BURST INTO FLAME

In their great attack upon Messines Ridge, states Popular Science Monthly, the British brought into play d new weapon, the infIammable shell. We didn't use gas in the attack" said one correspondent, but every known form of offensive weapon l think we did supply, including a new horror known in the army as oil cans or 'baiIing oil These on eoncussion burst and scattered conflagration over a wide area. We know from the prisoners taken that they caused terror and did an immense amount of harm"
 Light on the nature of these flaming projectiles is given by an American patent which was issued to Henry Dean of Michigan, early in the war. A chamber containing high explosive powder is situated in back of the solid nose of the shell and right in front of the firing torch. Surrounding this highly y-inflammable torch is the charge of gasoline which takes up by Tar the greatest portion of the interior of the projectile. Thus, when the nose of the shell strikes against the trench wall. the concussion sets off the gunpoWder.

MESS SERGEANT IS
 GEAR OF THE CAMP
(New York Sum

Be good to the mess sergeant.
 When you get to your cantonment camp to be made over into a soldier be good to him, for he will be lord high commissioner of your stomach and everything that goes into it.
 He will be the arbiter of your epi- curean fate, and when, on entering the mess tent, you see him standing there in all his glory and a fresh white coat, tug the forelock and scrape the foot to him, for he is more absolute die tator to your food than Herbert C. Hoover will ever be.
 He is the chief cook. He buys eve-y bite you eat. He writes the bill of fare and dictates how you shall be fed He sees that your vegetables are prop erly cleaned before they're cooked. He fights your battles with the butcher to see that you get good meat. He haggles with the hucksters to see that you get good green stuff. He gives the first and second cook, the dining room orderly and the three cooks police their orders. He runs the whole shebang for you and ninety nine other rockies like you. He works hard for you all day long and sometimes far into the night
 And so, if he checks up the plates and spoons and things and finds you've lost a couple and charges you for them out of your pay, don't grumble. He has to do that.
 Above all don't get gay with him on any account. He is responsible for your orderly conduct in the mess hall He's there to see that you ar rive in the proper quiet and orderly manner, with your uniform neat and clean. He looks you over and if your hands are soiled or your face un- clean, or your hair not properly brushed, he sends you kiting back to fix yourself up, just as mother used to do. He sees that you sit properly at the table, quietly and orderly, until your food is passed to you. He won't stand any restaurant rough stuff, if you are in the habit of pulling any. Loud talking and unnecessary noises will bring him down on you.
 He'll see that you follow Hoover's advice about not wasting your food, too He's an apostle of the clean plate if there evef was one. If you take more on your plate than you can eat he'll report you. You're welcome to all you want to eat, but you're not welcome to any to waste. Food left on plates can never be used again. If it is left in the serving dish it can be dished up in some other palatable form at another meal

THIRD DEFENSE
 T0 BE SERIOUS

Intimating that hereafter third of lenses in the way of exceeding the speed limit will result in jail sentences instead of fines, Justice Wheeler yes terday set the precedent for his court. The case which brought the matter up was that of Warren McArthur, IT, who fir the second time faced the court for alleged speeding. He pleaded guilty was fined $50, half of which was remitted, probably because his speed was but 30 miles an hour, and explained that he had been making a demonstration of the machine when he was arrested
 Fred Jacobs paid a $10 fine for speeding and a fine in like sum was paid by V T. Corbell.
 R. J. Breck when arraigned on a similar charge. pleaded not guilty and will be tried at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
