SMALL BOY HAD NOTICED
That He Knew Man in Khaki as
Marine Did Credit to His Powers
of Observation.

A group of youngsters was playing
on Riverside drive, says the New
York Times. A military man, dressed
In khaki and accompanied by young
lady, approached the group. The boys
stopped their playing and with nudges
and gesticulation, were evidently try-
ing to identify the man in khaki.
AS the young lady and her escort
drew nearer, one youngster with an
air OF superior knowledge informed
his companions: Hes United
States marine.
Overhearfhg the remark, the young
lady questioned the small boy: 'How
DO you know he is a mariner"
"Why, lady," exclaimed the Young
ster, "he wears an ornament on his hat
showing an eagle, globe and anchor,
but doesn't wear any hat cord"
The colored hat cords, yellow. blue
ana red, help many civilians to recog-
nize at once cavalryman, an infan-
tryman or artilleryman. However. the
United States marine dressed in khaki
Is still an enigma to many persons
