JAPAN FINDS
 MANY USES
 FOR TIN CANS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 21.- In connection with an article that ap- peared in a recent issue of a we'll known American weekly, concerning a large quantity of empty kerosene tins discarded as of no value at Harbor Island, Seattle, Wash, it is interest ing to note that the price of these B. gallon tins has recently doubled in Taiwan formerly about 10 cents apiece, now about 20 cents), says a report from M. D. Kiryassoif, United States consul at TaihOku, Taiwan, Formosa.
 "As elsewhere in the Orient, the kerosene tin is put to a great many uses by the natives of Taiwan," con tnues the consul. "For example, the tin shops purchase them for making all kinds of household utensils-lamps, cookstoves, pots, pans, sprinklers, small pumps (fOr pumping oil out of full tlns), and innumerable other ar ticles. The kerosene tin is used as a biscuit display box by removing one face and substituting glass; a new top is affixed and it becomes a rice con tainer; it is cut diagonally into two parts to make dust pans.

Proper Way to Salute

In order to give the salute properly when you are without arms, first as sume che position of a soldier Gas de- scribcd in a preceding lesson), or if you are walking carry yourself at at tentfou. Look the officer you are to salute straight in the eye. When he is a few paces away from you raise the right hand smartly tin the tip of the forefnger touches the lower part of the head dress or forehead above the right eye. thumb and fingers ex- tended and joined palm to the left forearm inclined at about 45 degrees, hand and wrist straight Continue to look the officer you are salutng straight in the eye and keep your hand in the position of salute until the officer acknowledges the salute or until he has passed. Then drop the hand smartly to the side. The salute is given with the right hand only" NIauual for Non-Commissioned Oft- cers and Privates, see. GJ It will be well for you to practice this move ment before the looking glass and be prepared to execute it properly as soon as you get into uniform. It is one of the things that will help to marl, you in the early days in camp

alteration tins are used as camphor- oil, lime, alcohol, and molasses con tainers. Their principal use is as wat CT buckets and indeed it is hard to think how the native could do without them as such. Tins are sometimes used to shingle roofs and sides of houses. The kerosene tin is perhaps the most useful single article which the Orient receives from the Occident
 "In 1916 the Taiwan government monopoly bureau purchased 10000 of these 5-gallon tins for camphor oil. When it is realized that the camphor oil exported in 1916 to Japan amount ed to over 705,OOO gallons and that most of this oil was packed in tins of this kind, some idea of the number used in this one industry may be had When camphor oil is exported to Jap an the dealers and not the monopoly bureau must supply the tins.
 ''This report is not written with the idea that the waste tins in the United States could be proftably exported to the Orient, as, Of course, the freight rate is prohibitive. If, however, there could be devised some cheap method of taking these tins apart so they could be sent flat, it might prove prof itable."

purpose'y made it intricate and diai- cult to learn in order that it could be acquired only by the constant train
 ing of alI real soldiers received.
 "To this day armies have preserved their salute. and when correctly done it is at once recognized and never mis- taken for that of the civilian. An sol dtcrs should be careful to execute the salute exactly as prescribed. The ci- william OF the imitation soldier who tries to initiate the military salute in- variaby makes some mistake which shows that he is not a real soldier; he gives it in am apoIogeuc manner. he fails to stand or march at attention. his coat is un5uttoDed or hat on awry or he fails to look the person samted in che eye There is a wide difference in the method of rendering and mean ing between the civilian salute as used by friends in passing, or by servants to their employers, and the military salute. the symbol and sign of the mil itary profession" OManuaI for Non commissioned Officers and Privates, see.

 These customary rules of good breeding apply in a slightly HFeren, form in che Army. There is che same reason tor them in the Army as in civil life. Courtesy helps to make the great Army machine run more smooth- g It is ,hc outward sign ,ha, the right relations exist among officers and men.

The commanding general of the Army is required to be ,our teous to you just as you are requir- ed to be courteous to b5m.
 Importance of Correct Forms
 Courtesy among military men is shown by speaking and acting in a re- spcc,ful manner It is shown also by using the correct form of recognition This correct form when meeting or ad- dressing commissioned officers is known as the military salute.

GOATS NOT
 EASILY TAKEN

That the work of transplanting goats, wild, elusive and wary, from one section of Alaska to another, is fraught with considerable difficulty, is now realized by three venturesome Alaskans, Ray c. GOssett, "Babe" Samples and l.. T. McInnes, who ar rived in Douglas the other day after spending some time at Brady glacier, near Cape Spencer, in their efforts to capture wild goats which they intend ed taking to Admiralty island with the view of populating the latter with a goat family, according to the Juneau Empire.
 Thenraticallv tho '''"t+~'.. -,' ----.--

planting goats IS all right, but prac- tically it is something else entirely. As goats have no particular yearning to be transpJanted, they decline to be captured alive and the result is that some ways and means not yet devised must be incubated before Admiralty island becomes the home of these free dom-loving mountain climbers.
 At various times the Grosset party thought they as good as had their hands on a number of goats in that they had them cornered on points from which they had no opportunity for escaping. But the would-be cap tors had not reckoned on the despera- ton of goat disposition. Rather than be captured they deliberately and determinedly committed suicide by leaping off precipices hundreds of feet high and converting themselves from shapely Quadrupeds into mince meat smeared over the rocks below. Nor was the suicidal practice confined alone to goats, as the party found that the kids only few weeks old pre- ferred death by leaping into space from high precipices to being touched by the hands of men.
 Infested with Hoof Rot
 Another thing was discovered, ac- cording to Mir. Gossett, and that is that the mountain goats are all in- fested with hOOf rot which is due pre- sumably, from the practically continu- ous wet weather. All the goats found after committing suicide were noticed to have the disease,
 Mir. Gossett, who is we'll posted on the game of the country, lately visit ed the Taku country, where moose abound and where he says, one Indian in a few days killed fourteen moose which he shot down for the mere fun of slaughter-a veritable game hog leaving the carcasses where they fell.
 There is a small appropriation, $1,- 500 of public money for the purpose of goat cultivation on Admiralty Isl and and it was the hope of securing a portion of that money that Gossett, Samples and McInnes were seeking to capture goats near Cape Spencer, Lut now they are convinced that it is a

GEODETIC MEN GIVE RESULTS
 OF WORK

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 2S.- The department of commerce has just published a pamphlet entitled, Results of Magnetic Observations Made by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in 1916"
 Five magnetic observatories are maintained by the survey at Chelten- ham, Md; Sitlla, Alaska; near Homo lulu, Hawaii; on Vieques Island, P. R., and near Tucson, Arizona. Their rec ords furnish the means of declinatiOn obtained from the field observations. The tables contain the mean values of the magnetic clements at each of the observatories for the calendar year, 1916.
 Made in Thirty-three States
 Observations on land were made in the field at 352 stations in thirty-three states and territories. Numerous old stations were re-occupied in order to determine the secular change of the magnetic clements, and many aulil- iary stations were occupied where pre- viOus observations had indicated the presence of local disturbance.
 Only such observations were made on board ships us were required for the deviation of the ships compasses for purposes of navigation.
 Results of Observations
 The results of the observations on land are given in tabular form arrang ed by states and territories alphabeti- cally, for declination, dip and horizon tai intensity, with the geographic po- sitiou and a separate description is given of each station occupied.
 A comparative table is given of the declination results at stations former ly occupied with the results obtained in 1916.
 This information supplied is of spe- cial value and interest to surveyors and engineers engaged in reproducing on the ground the lines of old surveys run with magnetic compass.

U. s. EXPORTS
 TIN PLATE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept % Exports of tin plates, terne plates, and taggers' tin reached their high est record in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1917, with a total of 521 ,S61 ,39O pounds, valued at $28,4O4,439, against 5l6,257473 pounds valued at S18,7O3,- 778 in 1916, and 1O5,S99,702 pounds valued at S8,643,SO6 in 1914, accord ing to the figures compiled by the bu- raau of foreign and domestic com merce, department of commerce. While the increase in 1917 over 1916 was only 5.6O3,917 pounds, the increase in value was $9,7OO,66O.
 The large exports in the past two years are remarkable when the fact is taken into consideration that tin plate has become a factor in our export trade only during the last decade. The first record of exports of tin plate was in the year 1898, when 2O,827 pounds were exported.

Shipments to Alaska

There were also shipped to Alaska tin manufacturers, chiefly tin can bod ies and tops, valued at S8,894 ,1G5.
 The production of domestic tin plate commenced in 1891, during the last six months of which there were produced 2,29G,743 pounds. In 1892, the first full calendar year of the industry, the production reached 42,119,102 pounds, and in 1916 it was 2,766,4O1, ,OOO pounds Of the production in 1916, D. 552,224O OOO pounds were tin plates and 21417IOOO pounds terne plates.

as possessing the bearing of a good soldier. When you get an opportun- ! ity, watch closely to see how Regular Army men salute. Note that your hat should be on straight, coat complete |Iy buttoned up, and hands out of the ! pockets.
 You will learn the rife salute after you Lave reached the training camp. In general it is used whenever you are carrying a rife, except when on guard duty, in which case you ordi- narHy present arms instead of saIut- ing.
 The exact conditions under which the salutes are given need not be re- peated in detail here. It is enough for the present to learn you are to salute all commissioned officers (nOt merely those of your own company or regiment or those with whom you are acQuainted), except when you are iH a military formation or when you are at drill, work, games, or mess. When in formation, you do not salute or come to the position of attention un- less an officer speaks to you.
 Other Army Coutesies
 Never forget that it is not only re-, quired of you as duty, put is also your right and privilege, to salute all commissioned officers and to have your courtesy returned. This state ment assumes, of course, that you are in good standing as a soldier. A mjli- taty prisoner is not permitted to sa, lute.
 It is the custom of the Army in speaking to an officer to stand at at tention and use the word "sir" In all official conversation refer to other sOl- diers by their titles-for example, Sergeant Smith" or Private Jones'" not merely Smith" or Jones"
 When an officer enters a room where there are several enlisted men, the word attention is given by some one who perceives him, when all rise, uncover, and remain standing at at tention until the officer leaves the room or directs otherwise. Enlisted men at meals stop eating and remain seated at attention" Uufanuy Drill Regu- lations, par. 759)
 Salutes are not exchanged among non-commissioned officers and enlist ed men. However, this does not mean that you are not to treat them with respect and courtesy. In a general way show them the same consider ation that you would show to men in corresponding positions in civil life.
