"Well. Woodie, old top, how are

called NJ. for several days. You don't
know how I have missed your sweet
voice over the wire. Where have you
been?"
The voice said 1t would like to have
the call and minded not at MI the
telephone girls "tatfy." BY and by the
response came and the girl heard
things that worried her. She looked
thoughtful and chewed her mint more
vigorously.
Il wonder II 1t could have been the

| called the White House. One Of the
secret service men responded and the
girl asked II a call had recently been
sent to such and such 4 hotter.
After n minutes delay the reply

"Yes, the president has been talking
to Hon. -- Of New York."

HOW AND WHY, THE SOLDIER
CHANGES STEP AND piREc.
TON.

The 30.inch step-known as quick
time"-is the basis of all military
movement. Nevertheless, a soldier
should be no more absolutely confined
to this step than a baseball player is
to, say, bnse-running. Otherwise, a
soldier could not charge.
For this reason "double time" is pro-
v!ded. The soluble time step (there
IS no "double-Quick") is 80 inches. 1t
IS executed at a cadence Of $50 steps
q Minute.
There is, in addition. the "rout STEP"
for the march, whereby each man can
take the step which suits him best;
vet after long training In the "qutck
time" he will find that his rout step
will approximate that measure. There
is also the "half STEP" Is inches In
quick time, IS In double time.
At the command Of "charge" either
from standing position, the quick
step, or double time. the soldier breaks
into a full run, in which the step Is
governed only by the reach OF his legs.
For the same reasons that all mill
tary movements cannot be reduced to
a single cadence, 1t Is no more prac-
ticable to limit q soldier to q single
direction Of advance. For this, the sol.
der is taught the side step and the
back step. the %eft face" fright face"
and "about face"
The side step, under the command

II for the
NEW SOLDIER
the SOLDIERS STEP AND IT'S
IMPORTANCE,

As sooh as the young soldier has
earned to stand correctly he must
learn how to step and to walk. II he
noes not learn how to walk. he will not
know how To march. II he does not
KNOW how to march. he is Of no more
use to a military organization than al
actual "tin soldier"
A soldier must learn how 10 stem
that is. To walk--for two reasons: he
must learn how best to utilize and con.
serve his muscles, and how to conform
to group movements.
All a soldiers work Is figured on a
basis OF the normal mans capacity.
The normal mans capacity is likewise
figured on the possibilities Of the nat
ural--and normal-use of the muscles.
1t Is not founded upon the subnormal
or abnormal use Of the muscles. The
readiest way to fit oneself to become a
soldier, therefore, is to teach the mus
cles to function correctly.
The normal step Of the soldier Is
thirty inches. That fact must be kept
In the mind until 1t grows there. Prac-
tice in marching will extend the step
of some to that length and reduce that
of others. If this Standardization did
not take place--did not become habit
the step Of the longlegged soldiers
would invariably walk away from the
shortlegged soldiers and pull the
whole line out of shape. This is what
always takes place with green troops
The tall man strikes out at a swing
which keeps the short man on n trot
And not only Is the united endurance
reduced according to the proportion Of
short men In the company, but the tall
men cannot hold out with their equip
ment to nearly the same extent that
they could II they adopted the com,
pany stride. Uniform motion Is con
iagious, and the stimulus impaired tG
all helps to carry those for whom tht
longer step might at first be an exer
tion.
A man must not walk on his heels
This throws his whole physique out o,
gear. 1t renders more difficult tn
thirty-inch step. A ma must walk OF
the balls of his feet. He must beal
the weight Of the body easily with hin
not drag 1t along behind him. TIL
length Of the step, thirty inches, /
measured from heel to heel and Is tax
en- Mt the rate of 100 a minute.
Thirty inches-remember! No goo
soldier ever steps, or marches, othel
wise unless specifically commanded t
do so. Furthermore, the good soldier
while marching in this the soldier
basic, or normal step, Is, except for tn
swing Of the legs and arms, in the pt
sition of attention-described In q pr,
ceding article as the fundamental p
sition Of the soldier.
