DO NOT MAKE IT FORMAL.

Camp singing Is engaging the attention OF
our military leaders. General Bell declares for
it as major means of creating fine morale IN
the recruit army: There is no doubt OF the
comraderie which is aroused by informal sing
ing and soldiers are given to singing without
suggestion from their officers, which Is ample
proof that they sing IN response to impulse. 1t
is, perhaps, unfortunate that the first step In
mind to develop camp singing should be an ap-
preparation to fornalize it. There is some
doubt as to how far camp singing would pros
per if made an obligatory exercise and akin to
the other training given to the recruits. Song
leaders are desirable, perhaps necessary, to
success in mass singing, but the probability Is
that so far as any army is concerned these are
born, not to be made by instruction. There
seems to be deplorable lack of knowledge on
the part Of our recruits Of the words to any CT
the songs suggested as best adapted to camp
use, and it is proposed to print these for dstri-
button instruction to supply the deficiency Of
our schooling IN songs is needed, but it is to be
hoped that in attempting to make Camp singing
proficient the real spirit Of the endeavor will
not be lost by giving it too much Formally.
Unless there is cooperation in purpose be-
tween the courts and prosecuting authorities in
the present effort to discourage the practice OF
breaking the speed laws the drive against out
law autolsts Will eventuate into joke. IF the
courts before whom the accused are arraigned
and In almost all cases plead guilty will but
take INTO account the enormity of the offenso
and the danger to life and limb faced by pcdes
TRANS who are forced to encounter the problem
of crossing thoroughfares, it will readily be
seen that fine Of ''one dollar and costs as
usually set down in the records will not dis
courage reckless auto driving. A much larger
fine will have deterrent influence and mir,m-
ize the danger by reducing the number Of vio-
lators.

meeting, stating that the plan he had
put in force in Chicago regarding

adopted and will be put into effect by
all other states
