And one Of the most popular officers is
CAPTAIN Hamilton Fish. The boys OF
the 18th know him as Cap" Fish.
l. is cap" Fish who is teaching the
colored boys how to play better foot
ball than any other unit IN camp. 1t IS
Cap Fish who is purchasing the
sporting supplies; footing the bills for
4 score of other necessities that $50 a
month can't purchase. Army officials
admit that there has been 50 little
trouble in the 18th Regiment largely
because OF the inspiring qualities Of
Captain Hamilton Fish.
The same regiment boasts of rival
to Sousa. When Irene and Vernon
Castle danced IN Manhattan's best
homes il was Jesse Reese Europe who
provided the music. In Paris he was
thought the equivalent Of, il not bet
ter than, Sousa. Madrid went Wild
with enthusiasm over him. In London
he scored tremendous success. Al the
beginning Of the war Jesse Reese Eu-

idea Of earning $4,000 year and went
TO work for Uncle Sam for 500 a

From north and south and east and

favorable comment throughout the
country. He returned short time ago
from the battlefelds of Europe, where
he served as war correspondent. His
most recent book on Kaiser Wilhelm
has been highly praised.
It would be possible to record many
more names and write Of many more
personal histories. And there is in
camp only one-sixth of all the troops

But those in camp are confident that IL
the number of notables now here will

British Start Boring
For Oil at Home
Expect to Find Petroleum
New Commons Bill
Indicates

LONDON Sept. 15.-For several
months past scientists in the employ
of the British government have been
conducting d survey Of the possibility
Of uncovering important beds OF petro-
leum somewhere in the British Isles.
No official statement of the results OF
their scutiny has been made, but an
indication that they are more than
hopeful is found in the introduction by
the government OF petroleum pro-
duction act" which gives the Cabinet
sweeping powers 10 proceed with the
boring of wells and turns over TO the
government all rights in connection
with oil production, subject merely to
the payment Of certain royalties TO the
owners of the land.
Oil is already obtained in consider
able quantities in Scotland, but II is
produced not from wells, as in Amer
lea. but by the distillation of bituml-
nous shale. In 1915 the total output
Of these Scottish shales was about
100000 tons, yielding twenty gallons
of oil ton. This indicates an oil pro-
duction of about 6o,O0O,o00 gallons.

The age distribution Of our white
stationary population-tha is, native
whites of native parents-corresp spends
rather closely 70 the distribution, by
ages, Of the population in England
and Wales. which is sometimes used
for Standardization purposes.
However. the proportion Of people
in middle life and beyond, in that
country and in Germany. exceeds that
Of the United States, and this excess
Of older people is very marked in Swe-

In order to eliminate any adverse
influence our foreign immigration may
have had upon the death rate Of ma
tive or stationary population, and also
that this population may be freed
from the abnormal mortality rate
among negroes, the comparison Of the
last two census years is made to in

Naval Recruits.

A century or SO ago the ranks Of

this has been changed, and now, espe-
clally In the navy, the interior Is fur

Is that city life does not qualify men

Aluminium Can Now Be soIdered.

The great drawback 10 the nse OF
aluminium for industrial purposes has
hitherto been that once broken or
cracked 1t could be mended only by
riveting or welding, costly process,
for there has been no way Of solder
Ing the metal. At last, however,
solder has been found that seems to
remedy this defect. This has been
tested by the advisory panel Of sclen-
tiiic experts In the British ministry OF
munitions and reported upon so favor
ably that the comptroller Of munitions
has called It to the attention of the
Woolwich arsenal and other munition
makers In England.
The inventor has not made public
the formula, but states that IT is Nero
ly an alloy of common metals, blended
In certain proportions and applied In
the ordinary way with torch. He
shows series Of photographs of a
large aluminium casting with a great
piece being broken out Of II being
patched on, soldered and then filed
down smooth.
For welding aluminium temperature
Of more than 900 degrees Fahrenheit
is necessary; $50 degrees suffice for
soldering.

After the battle of Neuve-Chapelle n

the London illustrated weeklies has
been considered the best that has ap-
peared during the war. II was a

enthusiasm, began to sketch the scene
when three-inch shell whlstled It's

and half covered Matania'e drawing.
With an Italian expletive, the artist
tore up the drawing and began vlo-

fresh memory of II appeared in his

fell near the party, and the British Of
