QUIET WORK.

thee
One lesson which in every wind
~ is blown;
One lesson of two duties kept at
Though the loud world proclaim their en-
nifty.
OF toll answered from tranquility!
or labor, that In lasting fruit outgrows
Far noisier schemes, accomplished in re-
pose,
Too great for haste too high for rivalry.
Yes while on earth thousand discords
ring.
Mans ftful uproar mingling with his toll
Still do thy sleepess ministers move on
Their glorious tasks in silence perfecting;
Still working, blaming still our vain tur-
moil
Laborers that shall not fail when man is
gone.

work. There is then often some time
which the trained soldier uses for
attending to his personal needs, tidy
ing up his clothing, and the like.
The remaining two or three hours
of the morning are likely to be spent
in drill-at first in CLOSE order" and
later in extended order" also. These
terms will be explained in another
part of this course. AS you ad-
vance. the drills will become more
and more interesting. During the
drill there are numerous short per-
iods Of rest.
In most camps guard-mounting
comes about noon. This consists OF
relieving the men who have been
guarding the camp and turning over
this duty to new men. Each soldier
mounts guard not oftener than once
week. After guard-mounting the
men go to dinner, which comes at
IL o'clock. At least one hour Is
always allowed for dinner and rest.

During the afternoons the work Is
likely to be varied and TO include addi-
tional setting-up exercises and other
drills, taget practice, bayonet eNer-
cises, and later more advanced drill

ing parade and retreat" when the
flag is lowered or furled for the night.
The band plays THE Star Spangled
Banner" while all officers and soldiers
stand at attention. The ceremony Is
designed to deepen each mans respect
and love for the flag which he serves;
it is always impressive. After the
nag is lowered, it is carefully folded
and escorted by the guard to head
quarters, where 1t is kept until the
next morning. when it is again raised:
Supper comes between and
o'clock, and is usually followed by
period of rest. In the training camps
there will be many opportunities Tor

for sports. music. the theater. and so
on. as later described. Taps are
sounded by 10 o'clock. This is the
signal to put out all lights, retire ana
keen quiet. 1T closes the day for
the soldier and sends him to his blan-
kets a tired and sleepy man."
Your officers will ask you to do MOTH
ing that they have not many times
done themlesves. They will ask moth

man cannot do. After a month or
two OF this training you will flnd that

SALOONS in VICINITY
OF SOLDIERS REOPEN
Sec. Baker Issues Statement Allow
ing Barred Barrooms Privilege.

Several saloons in the southwestern
section OF the city which closed down
a few days ago in obedience to orders
from Maj. Raymond w. Pullman, be-
cause they were within a half-mile
Of military camps, reopened yester-
day following publication of Secre-
tary of War Bakers announcement
revealing information that barrooms
in the proximity Of temporary camps
will be permitted to remain open.
According TO the new Interpretation
OF the law as contained in Section u
Of the army bill passed by Congress,
the term military camps is con-
strued as meaning only the sixteen
cantonments of the national army
and the sixteen mobilization camps
of the National Guard, which are per-
manent institutions for the training
of troops.
Announcement was made at District
Attorney Laskey's Office yesterday that
as soon as the exact terms Of the new
ruling are communicated to the dis
trict attorney, saloonkeepers will be
notified.

There will be nearly 1000 men in
each cantonment. The task OF pre-
pairing for your arrival is enormous.
Each cantonment will require Is, 900, 900
feet of lumber, $500 doors, 5000 win

You are naturally interested In form
ing some idea of the camp life of a
soldier. The description which follows
will help you in forming this idea.
However, there will be many changes
as you go along in your training.
The soldier arises for the day usual
ly at about o'clock, a little earlier in
the summer and a little later in the
winter. The buglers sound the call
known as reveille. The men dress
and fall in.
Your first experience of military
drill will probably consist of setting
up exercises" which ordinarily oc-
cupy the first few minutes of the day.
They consist of certain movements of
the head. arms. trunk and legs which
are carefully designed not merely to
develop your muscles. but also to in
crease you skill, grace. self-control
and self-reliance. At the same time
they will also put you into the right
frame of mind for a vigorous days
work.
In the mornings when the bugle
rings out the reveille. and you crawl
out OF your bunk reluctantly. possibly
tired and sore from the previous
days work, you win find yourself
wonderfully freshencd and cheered
up by a few minutes vigorous set
ting-up exercises.

New York. Aug. ia little group
of motherly women from several cities
seemed to have all the Joy taken from
their lives when little six-year-old
Ethel Pringle left the Hotel
Martinique and started home to
Alabama with her father. DIR. Willard
II. Pringle. For the little miss had
seemed like a daughter to each OF
them for three days, and all because
the peculiar manner in which she
arrived here.
DR.. Pringle was called suddenly to
New York last week. and, since Mrs.
Pringle was i'll, he decided to bring
the youngster with him. Everything
went well until they reached Rich
pond. There the father left the train
10 make the few purchases for the
child. And the train left without him.
Frantically the father wired ahead
to the conductor to care for the girl
until she got to New York and then
turn her over to representatives of
the Hotel Martinique. A second wire
went to Walter Chandler, jr., man.
ager OF the Martinique. The next
train carried the doctor.
Baby Ethel got attention aplenty
on the way to New York, some of
the women travellers insisting upon
taking turns in caring for her. Anu
when the train choo-chooed in
Manhattan Mr.. Chandler himself. ana
one of the hotels maids, were at
the station to meet her.
Naturally the news spread quickly
among the guests of the hotel, ana
soon everybody women and men
alike. fell wildly in love with the child.
When DR.. Pringle arrived, anxiety
written all over him, he found his
daughter receiving attention fit for
princess. Indeed, until he left. he
didn't have the heart to take up too
much of the child's time, much to the
relief of some of her devoted COM
panions.

and no suggestion for increasing the
present output of supplies for the
government will be overlooked. Where
it Is believed necessary and wise, the
government likely will advance funds
for the carrying on OF explorations
and research work.
The War Industries Board, already
potentially the greatest arm of the
war government, will be the central
agent in all transactions. 1t will
represent the United States govern
ment and the allies, and, as well,
the great industries of the nation,
1t will be the War Board which
will dictate the changed policies to
be adopted with regard to indus
trialism, and it will be the War
Board which will finally pass upon
the fate of almost every invested
dollar in the country.
All Fall in Line.
The change from peace TO war
conditions in the industrial world
was likened yesterday by a high
official to the difference between a
laboratory and a factory. Before
the war the United States was a
Iaboratory-as regards the produc-
tion of war materials-and now it
is a factory. turning out in whole
sale quantities the commodities it
formerly experimental with.
To date there have been few in
dustries which have not responded
to the suggestions of the War Board,
Those which have turned a deaf
ear have been disciplined in a score
of roundabout ways, and finally have
come to see the light" and pledged
obedience to the boards mandates.
The larger the business represent
ed. the more ready to give the gov
ernment a free rein in debating pol
icies is the attitude that the War
Board has found in its business, and
the general munitions board, which
preceded 1t, found in all its work
Remarkably few men or corpora
tions have shown desire to con-
test the authority of the War Board.
The few eruptions that have occurred
have been spa smodic and not at
all representative of the general feel
ing throughout the country.
This is particularly true of the
steel trade. While rumor has had
it that the steel men would contest
the authority of the government to
fix the same prices for the allies
and the United States. the board is
in such entire accord with the big
gest factors in the trade that II has
no fears of any dissension or revolt
in any quarter.
