opportunity offered through The
Robesonian and R. D. Caldwell &
Son to improve his methods of farm
ing, which will enable him to grow
better crops in a smaller acreage.
Agricultural Department experts

sis of each subject.
Here's How You Can Get This Ser
vice From the Government With

TAXI. TAXI! WHO'S
GOT THE TAXICAB?
Many Visitors Use EN-. and the
Elusive Chariots Are Hard to Find.

The influx Of men Of big affairs to
Washington for conferences with gov
eminent officials has doubled the vol
ume Of taxicab business here.
At this time last year, in anticipa-
ton Of the slack summer season, one
company had forty Of it's cars in stor-
age. At the present time, it has not
only put every available auto into
operation, but II has fifty more driv-
ers than at the corresponding time
last year.
The drivers complain, however, that
the speed limit is too low to suit most
of the visitors, who usually have bust
ness with the departments Of Wash
ington connected with the prosecu-
ton Of the war. Although the tips
are better than usual, the men say,
the big bugs" are not to be pleased
with the slow rate Of speed allowed
under the law In operation. They are
constantly demanding the driver to
send his machine along a little faster
than a snaiIs pace.
1t has been noticeable during the
business hours for the past few
months, that it is practically impos-
sible to get a taxi, within a reason
able amount Of time, and men con-
nected with the company ascribe the
cause Of this to the demand made on
the services of the company by the
immense transient trafic at the pres
ent time.

SELECT COMMANDERS
FROM Student CAMP
New Army Officers Will Be Out Of
2IOO Now Training.

The regular army officers who have
been instructing the candidates at the
Reserve Camp have been directed to
select from the 2,100 student-otficers
those who have shown their ability to
command troops, and this work will
be completed probably by the latter
part of the present week. On August
/ Col. Fenton, commandant Of the
camp, will forward a list Of candi-
dates whom he feels warranted in
recommending for commissions to the
War Department.
Exceptionally good records have
been made by the cadets at Fort
Myer. and 1t is probably safe to say
that at least 70 per cent will get COM
missions.
With the end Of the training period
only three weeks of, the nine infantry
companies are beginning to specialize
as machine gunners. mortar men and
grenade throwers.
With the greater development in the
use Of artillery and machine guns, II
has been found inadvisable to have
troops occupy the first line trenches
in close order. So the student-offi-
GERS are being trained to defend their
trenches in skirmish or extended or
der.
The Eighth Company Of student-of-
fcers, under command Of Lieut.. W. G..
McNulty. of this city yesterday
started on a tweIve-mile~ hike to the
EdsaIl rifle range for target practice.
In the training Of the prospective Of
fcer it is taught that a man must be
a great deal better marksman than
was the case in the war between the
States. The main fighting in the
trenches is at close range, where only
a head or hand Is exposed for an In
slant and then disappears.

RUSH OF APPLICANTS
FOR Officers CAMP
Many Will Be Left Out of Second
Fort Myer Training.

Many of the young men who have
appliec for enlistment in the second
Reserve OhicersN Training Camp at
Fort Myer from the Baltimore dis
trict, which includes the District Of
Columbia, are doomed to be dis
appointed when the applications are
passed on. With a combined quota
of 29S, Of which IS is the District
of Columbia's share, there are 1888
applications on file. This means that
four out of FIVE Of these applicants
will have to be eliminated.
Fort Myer will have student-officers
from only one division at the second
camp instead Of from two, as was
at first planned. These candidates for
commissions will come from the Dis
trict, Virginia. Maryland, New Jer-
sey, and Delaware.
Pressure is being brought to bear
on the War Department to increase
the number of men at the second
camp. There was a great rush Of ap-
pncants during the past few weeks.
and the number who have applied
throughout the country aggregates
70, 900. whereas 1t is now planned to
have not more than 1900 undergo
training at the second camp.

SCIENCE CONQUERING
DISEASE in TRENCHES
Medicine Fights Trench Rat Fever
and Other Dread Maladies.

When the wounded soldier is lying In
the damp trench in France, unable to
move, or when the tired tighter tries
to snatch few hours sleep. he is con-
stantly harried by the knowledge that
the dreaded man-eating trench rat
will attack him and when he awakes
he will be minus an ear or q finger.
These animals are little larger than
a month old kitten. but the dishgure-
ment Is not the worst part Of their
bite, for II very frequently gives to the
victim a fever that runs q varying
course and many times recurs after
II has been apparently cured.
This fever Is one Of the new diseases
that medical science il working hard
to combat and another Of the diseases
due to present conditions Is gangrene.
Gas gangrene now is under fair con-
troll In Europe by the use Of active
immunizers and antitoxins. It Is said
to resemble tetanus or lockJaw In Its
