Army and Navy News
Best Service Column in the City

Walter Camp, Yale's former ath-
rector of athletic activities at the
various United States naval training
stations. has appointed special rep
resentatives who will conduct ath-
lctics at their respective posts under
his supervision. Lieut. Richard Z.
Byrd, U. S. N, secretary OF the COM
mission, is making a tour of the
stations for the purpose of placing
athletics on definite basis. Mr..
Camp has just completed a tour of
the eastern training posts. A general
appropriation has been made through
the Navy Department to cover the
cost OF equipment for the different
sports. Schedules are being drawn
up so that there may be contests
between stations. even IL no games
with university teams can be ar
ranged. a series of baseball games
has been completed and the work will
continue, including football. track,
hockey and basketball.
II is not only in the United States
that there is a failure among large
numbers of new officers and men to
observe regulations regarding iudi-
Vidual SaluteS. The newcomers in
/ the British army are also negligent
in this respect. General hcadquar-
tcrs in France and the eastern COM
mand in England have issued or
ders recently drawing attention to
the regulations in regard to salutiny
by soldiers. IAN impression has be
come common" says the order. that
the salute need not be given in
railway stations, restaurants. and
other public buildings, or when an
officer is seated. 1t is also stated
that men VINO have been questioned
on the point say they had been told
it was not necessary to salute in
such circumstances. 1t is further
mentioned that soldiers in hospital
dress believe they are not expected
to salute. The orders make il clear
that there are no exceptions to the
saluting regulations in all circum-
stances"
Secretary Baker has announced a
policy to govern activities of fra
ternal organizations in army training
camps,
Camp commanders will be directed
to permit the construction of build
ings within the camp sites by any
! fraternal organization individually or
group of organizations acting to-
gether; facilities of the camp for
social and fellowship meetings will
be extended and accredited represent
atives from the various societies will
be authorized to visit the camps
and arrange for entertainments for
the men either at the buildings thus
erected or in nearby communities.
1t was agreed, however, that no
limitations or secret meetings of any
kind are to be carried on within
the camps; that existing well-recog-
| nized societies only should be ac-
corded the recognition, and that prop
aganda work among the soldiers in
behalf of an new society should be
forbidden.

situation just right, and he'll get
this through in a moment"
And sure the deed was done-and

ment follow its proposal
A coincidence in this affair Is
that Senator Hitchcock comes from
the state where Pershing's blood
relatives are now living and which
state is probably more to be denoted
his home than any other State in
the nation. This was the sentiment
in the afIair-hardly thought Of at
the time. perhaps-while the hard
cold fact in il was that Baker
wanted the legislation to pass ever
so badly and had put tho task up
to Senator Hitchcock to get il done.

" NeASebSSlAH
SAYS HELEN DREAMS.-The ar
ticle of E. J. Roach deserves COM
mendation. He is right in his doubts
concerning Helen Herald and her
wonderful way of obtaining a paying
position, with a promise of an ad-
vance Of $40 a week in salary after
her first year. It sounds ike fairy
story.
Would she have said these things
if she had had twelve years Of ex-
perience like mine? If she had en-
dured all the disappointments in find
ing a worthwhile position? Finally
the good fairy came along and found
a position for me with a dealer in the
buying and selling of stores. My
salary was work on approval for
nothing for one week.
But Helen's fairy helped me to be-
come thoroughly qualified and my
employer was tremendously pleased
with my weeks trial Not because 1
was groomed well, but because 1
obeyed his crooked way of buying a
store at $50 and selling it at $500.
My salary began at $40 a week. I

VIA ANALOGY.

VIA ANALOGY. - Say, Mr.. ]. S.
Davis, can you appreciate the force
of an analogy, or a parallel? Do you
know that by analogies and parallels
I can prove a given case Just as Ger
tainly as if I had all of the facts be-
fore me? All right; you said you
have hunted long for an argument
which would even appear sound in
favor of segregation. Well, then,
here's the argument via the analogy:
A persons blood is poisoned by dis
ease to such an extent that one of
the outward symptoms is that of a
tUmOr or two, or several highly
pimpled areas on the skin. Now.
along comes a bum philosopher and
claims that if those tUmors or those
pimples could be spread or distrib-
Uted as evenly as possible over the
rest of the body surface that the bad
blood would thereby be purified,
Then along comes a man of scien-
tifc mind and says that neither scat
iteration or segregation of these sores
or pimpIes will cure the diseased con-
dition of the blood. He goes on fur
Their and says that both scatteration
and segregation, whether of vice dis
tricts OF pimples, are merely treating
the symptoms or the effects and does
not even hint at removal of the cause
