PAVING WORK
LAYING OF BASE BEING DONE
WITH SOME TNCON-
NENIENCE.

The cement mixing machine start
ed work again this morning on the
north end of Egan avenue. TO lay the
east side of the street base. The
work of laying the base OF the west
side Of the central parking is com
pleted as far south as the southern
boundary of the Normal campus, and
the machine returned to the end to
bring the other side abreast of the
west side. The narrow streets make
it necessary for the men to maintain
the string of gravel a block ahead of
the machine. as the wagons cannot
turn in the street without going to
the next Intersection maneuver
manifestly impossible in the freshly
laid cement. Another r|etarding fea-
ture is the fact that all the hauling
must be done along the venue
where the s|urfacing has n or twice
been completed, greatly disturbing
the work done in getting the ground
in shape 10 receive the base. 1t is
almost impossible to do the hauling
on streets parallel to Egan avenue
both because of the paving on Second
street NE. and the condition Of the
streets and creek crossings.

RED CROSS SUNDAY
A SMALL CHANGE AND AN IN
PORTANT ADDITION TO

A small change and an important
addition to the program for Red

found that Mr.. Roberts, of Sioux

mittee have been casting about for
talent with which to fill his place
not merely to rattle around in it, but
to fill it. In this they have succeed
ed in interesting w. r. Havighorst,
of this city.
An important addition to the aft
ernoon is the drill and guard mount
by the company of soldiers. AS has
been explained, this formal ceremony
is as old as the American army. and
was instituted and perfected by
George Washington. and is practiced
just as left by him. This is an i'm
portant attraction, being n of the
most formal functions of army drill
And the men are working hard to
perfect the movements involved.

cured for the day, the first train leav-

guild. People simply will not believe
that we are at war. or men who talk
to the soldiers a great majority ex-
press the idea that they are out for
a little picnic at Uncle Sans expense,
and that they will lever see service
of gas and fire and steel and hunger
and heat and cold of the battle field
Not only are such binding them
selves as to the state of the country's
feeling to an enemy, and contenting
themselves in a FOOLS security, but
they are casting an aspersion on the
mems loyalty and patriotism in offer
ing themselves to the service. No
wonder it made the soldier languid.
These men confidently expect to see
service. and are preparing themselves
with right soldierly good will. These
men. treading our streets today are
fated TO see things of which man in
this country never before dreamed
and which he cannot compass with
his Imagination. We know they will
have to go. But that does not pre-
clude the hope that they won't.

DRILLING IN NEW UNIFORMS
MEN APPEAR ALERT AND

The first use of the new uniforms
which arrived yesterday was in a
strenuous forenoon of drilling by the
soldiers at the Normal barracks. To
say that the appearance of the com

They acted and looked like real sol

Preparatory to the expected exhibit
tion of drill and guard mount cere-
mony at the chautauqua grounds on
the occasion of Red Cross Sunday,
they were practiced in that work
this morning. To the civilian observ-
er the formal guard mount was pre-
else and exact. But Capt. Linstad
said some very sarcastic things to
the men. and it could be noticed that
when they were again put into mo

considerable more snap. Ii Is sup
