THE SOLDIERS PERSONAL APP.
PEARANCE.

One of the most important phases Of
military discipline IS that of the per-
sona appearance.
A soldier in camp or in barracks
should keep himself spick and span. He
should scrub himself in daily shower,
if showers are available, shave infal-
libby, keep his uniform brushed and
his shoes polished.
Of. Naturally drill and other military
duties, even in camp, do not enable him
TO remain altogether immaculate, for
that would interfere with his work.
But, while the day of the "kid- glove
soldier" is passed. the constant atten-
ton to cleanliness will overcome the
CRIME which attaches to the daily rOu-
tine and will give the general appear
ance of neatness. Dust which has set
tied on the uniform in drill has n
look which differs distinctly from n
large and indelible stain. In the same
way, faces and hands which are nor
mnlly clean reveal this fact even if
temporarily soiled; whereas, faces and
hands which are habitually dirty can
HDl give NilbllJ NlStii tsSlDu
even when washed.
The habit of cleanliness in the sol
der will become second nature if he
is not an instructive sloven. He will
find that he is not comfortable in the
rCglmcntaI street or on the parade
ground unless he is neat-wholly aside
from the fact that his officers will re-
qnIre it. He will soon realize that m
unshavcd man in camp looks ever
worse than in an ofiice-that n mar
whose huIr is not kept closely cut has
n more ragged appearance in uni
form than in civilians clothes.
When outside Of quarters or his i'm
mediate company street, the soldiers

uncannY Desert Growth.

Probably the most uncanny Of all
the desert growths is the creeping devil
cactus (Cereus eruca). Its large, round
very thorny branches lie along the
ground, but with the end turned up like
caterpillar feeling its way, and 1t
actually does creep away from its base
for the branches as they grow put
down roots, and back of those roots
in time the stem dies. So that finally
a section of the plant may be yards
away from the pNrent root.

THE NECESSITY OF GOING OVER
DETAILS.

While allowing the difficult details
of squad movements TO sink into his
mind, the new soldier would do well
at this point to look back over the
ground lie has traversed. He should
refresh his mind, so far as necessary,
upon what he has previously learned,
and he will at once discover Il differ
cncc between his present grasp of
military facts and their requirements.
The more he learns, the more reason
able. necessary and Illuminating be-
comes that which he has already
learned.
For example, the now soldier who
has been taught how to execute
squad right" does not need the same
amount of explanation for the ncces-
sity of discipline and obedience as ut
the beginning. He realizes by this
time that no squad movement would
be possible unless each individual
were subject and responsive to dis
CiplinC. He does not have to be taught
the reason for learning to stand prop
crly, since he secs that no squad could
come to the position of attention and
dress its line in Il practical military
fashion unless each individual first
came to attention. This does not
mean that the new soldicr-and even
the partially trained SOldicr-will not
find 1t necessary again and again to 30
over the details of how to perfect him
self in these essentials; but it is doubt
full whether he would hereafter have
to he told why.
lie has learned how to stand, how
to step forward, backward, sideways,
the half-Stcp--and to mark time lie
has learned how to face in any dircc-
tion-right face, left face, about face,
and half face, which creates the prop
or angle for the Obliquc march. lie
has learned how to start the Forward
MARCII;" how to stOp-the
HALT, in two counts; how to execute
the commands altering the direction of
March.
lie has been instructed in some of
the elementary military courteSies,
such as the all-ilnportant salute, and

mnnds are given. He has by this time
come to lean on the peremptory com
mand as Il necessity and through this
his mind and muscles are automatically
made ready, in time, for the com
mand Of execution. With the eXcep-
tiUn of Il few single commands, such as
Fall ill.," sat ease" and "rcst'-a
special cass-hc will find that his
faculties depend upon the preliminary
notification of what they are to do
in order to do them precisely at the
moment of performance.
All this will have become clear to
the new soldier if he has familarlzed
himself with the drill as far as the
point of squad movements. He will
find that his muscles would subcon-
SciOuSly resist n command of execution,
without the preparatory notice of what
is expected Of thcm. This affords them
Il chance to gather themselves into Il
balance for the most effective dis
charge of the command, and this bal
ancc, operating subcOnsCiously is a
big factor in the making of the good
soldier.

THE SOLDIERS HEALTH AND
HOW HE CAN PROTECT 1T.

No duty of the soldier is more i'm
pOrtant than the care Of his health,
A sick soldier is worse than no sol
der Not only is he n dead weight,
but he requires the services of other
men in taking care Of him. A com
pany which has 20 sick men would
be better off if it were actually 90
men short of its quota, because the
20 sick men are of no military value
and put an extra drain upon the regi-
mental organization. Much, if not
most, sickness is avOidHblc with prop
er sanitary and medical precautions,
and much of it, certainly, may be a
mans own fault
The matter of health Is especially
important to the now soldier, since
those whose lives have been scdcntary
are exceedingly susceptible TO Illness
when they first start TO live under
camp conditions. The change of food,
change Of surroundings, change of air,
and change OF habits are often too
revolutionary for the system all mt
once, unless The soldier pays particu-
lar attention to his health.
The stomach, especially in warm
weather, is tho principal scat of Illness.
and ii is here that the new soldier has
his futc-his efficiency as n soldier and
his usefulness to the cOmmand--largc-
ly in his own hands. If, before he is
we'll seasoned in camp, he eats be-
tween meals; If he eats food not set
before him mt mcsS-cspeciHlly the
most tempting pies and cakes and
cream-puffs from home; if he hangs
about the canteen buying candy, nuts
or cookies. he is almost certainly deS-
tined to be i'll. And such illness may
be no trivial matter, mt that, since 1t
may start n whole train of disorders,
from cramps to dyscntcry. The eX-
tent of the illness will probably depend
upon the degree of the new soldiers

Medieval and NapoIeonic Styles
Are Engaged in Struggle for
Supremacy.
MILITARY IDEA ALSO ENTERS
In Any Event Women, Fortunately,

Ribbons and Roses.

New Tork.-The medieval in dress
dies hard. The Napoleonic influence
in apparel never really loses its grip.
1t may be said by the historian of
dress that one of these two phases of
feminine costumery is the basis of ev-
cry fashion that comes and goes.
The world of clothes has just ex-
perienced n mad revival in medieval
ism. Women of every weight, age and
curve have adopted the gowns of
Queen Guinevere and Melisond.
Such garments have been cut by
the hundred, in block and they have
been worn in all the market places of
the civilized world for two years. The
splendid, sweeping robes in which
Guinevere met Launceot have served,
when modified, to carry Mary Jane
to the department store to buy bar
gain shirtwaists.
The swinging sleeves, the loose jew
cled rope glrdle and the straight
widths Of deeply colored velvet worn
by Juliet when she went to the somber
tombs of the dead have been worn by
blue-eyed Miss Flapper, rapturously
applauding The Midnight Follies.
what are the uses of history" say
the designers, IF not to turn 1t into
present use?' And So over and over,
the world Of apparel grects the rising
of the medieval SUM- season after sea-
son, decade after decade.
The Napoleonic period Is as deeply
impressed on the minds of the design
ers. There was nothing medieval
about French costumery throughout the
reign Of the supcrman, but there were
so many eccentrlcities, such vast
variety of beautiful lines and curves
so much glowing narrative and tragic
romance attached to the sweep of n
skirt and the flow of IL sleeve, that the
drcssnnkcrs pever get away from
those pages of costumery.
NapoIeonIo Again Threatens.
To-day we are again threatened with
the Napoleonic. We are almost stated
with medievalism. The Dlrcctoire
bcckOnS; the First empire allures.
The madness of Nine. Tulien will not
be repeated today, unless France is
suddenly assured of victory, when, if
history repeats itself, she may go quite
mad again for short time, through
the costumery of her women.
In this glow of feeling towasd the
NapoleOnic period we are not even
avcrse TO the laced bodice and the

The Military Influence.

poleonic which still influence the ma
jority Of clothes that are offered this
summer, the new military dress is

The first woman who appeared in
a military outfit Mt fashionable res
taurant Mt the noon hour received as
much enthusiastic attention as did the
young artillery man who stood be-
hind Il rapid firing gun mounted In
the lobby of the hotel, with poster
asking for subscriptions to the Liberty

The woman who wore the military
costume had just come off duty and
was getting her lunch in as much of
hurry as she could. 1t amused her
very much that n number of people
thought she was in fancy dress cos
tune.
She wore the khaki of the United
States army. Russian leather, low
heeled shoes, very short, scunt skirt,
khaki regulation military jacket and
the regulation cap.
Against the background of filmy
chiffon, strings OF pearls, picture hats
and Oriental garb, she made n delight
full picture. She was the essence of
simplicity, efficiency and trlgness.
Within the month the desire for the
military costume has grown so great
that one sees all classes of wom-
en- on errands of war relief in these
khaki outfits. Women who have been
taking their lessons In ambulance
driving, walk through the streets
wearing the full, khaki breeches
which the uniform prescrlbes, and over
their shoulders is the full, swirling

Greeted With Difference.
| Women have long worn riding
brooches ON the street, covered with
cape or long top coat, and this new
ambulance costume creates less at
tention in large centerS than 1t would
have done half-doZen years ago; but
even now it creates q ripple of interest
which is always attended by approval
and admiration. There are no jests
no satirical remarks, no laughter from
the men as these uniformed womenpnss
through the ranks of people on the
streets. Some of the Difference is
shown to them that is given to the
women with the red cross on theil
costumes or the brassard of mercy or
their arms.
1t is a happy fact to remember
when one Is separating the segments
of fashion for this summer, that the
1S40-60-70 fashions for women have
not reappeared. They were ugly, futile
and costly. Fortunately for us, in this
season of embroglio, we are not asked
to wear frills and flounces, streaming
ribbons and roses.
Medievalism Is severe, even If gor
geous Mt times. The Napoleonic fash
ions are economical, for they run from
what is known as the First Empire
through the Grecian drapery and t
the Dlrectoire severity.
