HE PLANTED "RARE FLOWER"
Amateur Gardener Discovered That
the Brassica Campestri Was
Known to Others as Turnips.

81 am a victim of the 'every-man-his-
own gardener" said the North Ala
bama street man. I'm my back yard
in a space no larger than a tablecloth,
I have planted seeds of a dozen kinds
of vegetables and will soon be entirely
independent of the gresngrocer. If
the city ordinance were not adverse to
practical economy / should finish the
meat dealer by keeping a couple of

while I was putting in my garden a
friend of mine came by and asked why
1 did not put in something to beautify
the front yard. Here he said, are
some seeds of the brassica campestris.
When these come up you'll have some

asked.
yellow was the answer.
$50 1 planted the seeds and they
came up promptly.
"a neighbor passing by asked what
1 had in the bed. / had written the
name brassica campestris in my note
book, and spelled it out to him. I told
him it was q rare flower with beau
tiful yellow blossom.

the headdress-or the forehead above
the right eye, thumb and fingers ex-
tended and Joined, palm slightly in
clined to the left. The forearm is in
clined at an angle of about As degrees,
with the hand and wrist straight. At
the same time the soldier must look
toward the officer saluted, and stand
at attention, except for the hand
raised in salute. When his salute has
been acknowledged, he drops his hand
"smartly" to his side.
Salutes are exchanged between Off
GERS and enlisted men as they meet
each other, except when they are in
military formation, or at drill, at work,
playing games, or at mess, At these
times, only, it is not necessary to ex-
change salutes. If, however, the Off
Ger speaks to a soldier at drill or at
work, or the man speaks to the officer,
he gives the prescribed salute with the
weapon he carries, or, if unarmed, with
his right hand as above described.
The new soldier should become pro-
ficient in the salute and the rests af-
ter a few earnest efforts: they are
among the simplest movements re-
Quired of the soldier.
When a soldier is at attention, the
position may be relaxed by the COM
mand "at rest or "at ease." On re-
ceiving the former command, the SOL
der keeps one foot in place, but is per-
mitted to move the rest of his body
at will and talk, until he receives the
command attention" At the command
Eat ease" the soldier may do as when
he receives the command eat rest" with
the exception that he must maintain
silence. From these two positions he
must spring instantly to attention and
command.

ton of rest, and In the same general
category as the salute. At the COM
mand parade rest" carry the right
foot six inches straight to the rear, left

hand; preserve silence and steadiness

assuming this position When execut-
ed properly. the upper part of the sol
dier's body and his head are held In

SELFHELPS for the
NEW SOLDIER
By . United State, Army Officer
eCopyneht, 1917, By the wheeler Syndicate Inc.)
THE SOLDIERS STEP AND ITS
IMPORTANCE.

AS soon as the young soldier has
learned to stand correctly he must
learn how to step and to walk. If he
does not learn how to walk, he will not
izznow how to march. If he does not
know how to march, he is OF no more
use to military organization than an
actual s'tin soldier"
A soldier must learn how to step
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
uraI-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
<cIeS to function correctly.
The normal step of the soldier is
thirty inches That fact must be kept
In the mind until it grows there Prac-
tice in marching will extend the step
of some to that length and reduce that
of others. If this standardization did
the step of the long-legged soldiers
would invariably walk away from the
short-legged soldiers and pull the
whole line out of shape. This is what
always takes place with green troops.
The tall man strikes out at swing
which keeps the short man on 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
rr1ent to nearly the same extent that
they could if they adopted the COM
nany stride. Uniform motion is con-
fagious, and the stimulus impaired to
all helps to carry those for whom the
longer step might at first be an exer-
ton
a man must not walk on his heels.
This throws his whole physique out of
gear 1t renders more difficult the
ftlirty-inch step. A man must walk on
che balls of his feet. He must bear
the weight of the body easily with him
not drag it along behind him. The
length of the step, thirty inches, is
measured from heel to heel and is tax
en- at the rate of 100 a minute.
Thirty inches-remember! No goo6
soldier ever steps, or marches, other
wise unless specifically commanded t6
do so. Furthermore, the good soldier
while marching in this the soldiers
basic, or normal step, is, except for the
swing of the legs and arms in the pc
sition of Northumberland in a pre-
ceding article as the fundamental Pc
Sition of the soldier.

THE SALUTE AND ITS sIcNIFl-
CANOE.

As soon as the new soldier is able
to take his eyes on his feet and his
step, he sees that he is elbow to elbow
with other soldiers He sees that he
belongs to an organization He sees
that he has a definite place in that
organization The more constantly
that he can be reminded of his place
in the organization, the more adequate
ly will he fill it. That is, the more adj
equately will he fill it if he is an alert,
intelligent American soldier.
The structure of the organization,
when q unit is not drawn up at atten-
ton, is instilled in his mind through
military honors and courtesies. This
is epitomized in the salute The sa-
lutte is not a symbol of inferiority, it
Is a simple reminder of the soldiers
place in the scheme of the organiza-
ton. It is reminder of the authority
to which he must at all times be sub
ject, If there is to be discipline; and
it is a recognition, of the source of
that authority.
The soldier salutes commissioned Of
ficers-from second lieutenant to gen.
eral. He does not salute nOncOmmiS-
stoned officers-corporals and SER
geants. But he grants them defer
ence and obedience, nevertheless, in
limited degree, which keeps the chain
of authority intact.
The salute not only is no symbol of
fnferiority, but is a privilege. Only
soldier in good standing is entitled to
salute his officers and to receive the
officers acknowledgment in return. A
soldier under arrest cannot salute.
The salute is performed at present
with the right hand only. The move
ment must be executed "smartly." A
tagging, ragged salute is no real mill
tary courtesy. 1t is nearer to an af-
front. For it is neither courteous nor
military. The right hand, therefore,
