State and city legislation against
the use OF the spotlight has been chief
ly the fault OF motorists who used it
carelessly. The windshield searchlisht
which can be tipped at any angle and
thus throw the light only on the road,
and at the same time hide the full view
OF the face Of the searchlight from APP
preaching motorists. can be made to
fulfill practically all the requirements
Of driving light without binding
ether drivers.
The chief objection to the spotlight
has been that drivers have not taken
full advantage of the fact that it can
be directed at any angle, but have per-
mitted 1t to point straight ahead down
the road and thus blind approaching
drivers as seriously as would any I'M
dimmed headlight, when it could easily
have been tilted to point Immediately
in front of the car or to the side Of the
road until the approaching vehicle was
past. The spotlight is meant to be tilt
ed, when necessary, and the courtesy of
the road demands that consideration
for other drivers. For country road
work where there are no approaching
vehicles, the spotlight is particularly
,aluable. because even when headlights
are used, the light of the searchlight
on the windshield Is projected farther
and more clearly defines that part OF
the road on which 1t is thrown. OF
course It's value for reading street and
road signs, etc, Is beyond question
Unless drivers use the fitting qualities
Of their Windshield spotlights, there
/ will be more widespread Legislation
against them, and motorists as whole
will be deprived OF a most useful illu.

centuries Of experience rs the best
means OF training men in soldierly
habits OF thought and action. They
teach precision. teamwork. and that

which is so necessary to military con
troll The fact that you and your
comrades are thoroughly drilled will
bee your hest protection in the hour
Of hatlIe II viii give eyeyry man
confidence in himself and IN his com

in tho face of the enemy
However. cioseorder drill will not

The most essential steps in your train

H>n. every day.
Grades OF Close. order Drill.
There are four sections or grades of
close-order drill, which are called
school OF the soldier. school of the
squad. school Of the company, school
OF the battalion The word school"
as bore used means a fixed method of
training
FIRST Of all. you will get the train
ing included under the school of the
soldier This training is in turn
divided into two parts; instruction
without arms and the Manual of Arms.
Tho very first thing you will learn
is the position Of the soldier, which
has already been explained in lesson
4, then you will be shown, among
other things, how to face to the right
or left or about in a sOldierly manner
how 10 salute properly and how to
march,
The Manual Of Arms takes you a
step further 1t teaches you how to
handle your rifle properly. 1t does
not however include practice in firing
or in bayonet combat.
IN the school Of the squad YOU will
execute all the movements learned
in The school of the soldier: in addi.
ton YOU will learn to keep your cor
rect place in ranks, to stack and take
arms and to march as a squad. The
school of the squad includes also some
practice in eXtended-order drill.
The school OF the company carries
Feu still further in your training. In
Free trader-journal. (Ottawa, Ill.) 1916-1920, 1917-09-11
Lesson No. 20.
CLOSE-ORDER DRILL.

the close-order drill YOU will be taught
to march in lire and in column ana to
execute a number of simple but very
important movements Most of these
movements are by squads, that IS 10
say, they simply apply to a number
OF squads working together, the same
commands and movements already
learned in the school of the squad
School of the Battalion.
The school of the battalion in turn
applies on a somewhat larger scale
the movements You have to learn III
the school Of the company. The com
mands of the major will be repeated
TO you by your own captain, ar through
him by your platoon commander.
The battalion is the largest unit in
which an officer can make his com
mands heard and clearly understood
by all the mon: hence, it is the largest
unit in which there is instruction in
closeorder drill Regiments. brigades,
and larger units are controlled
through orders given to command
ing officer which they carry out by
issuing othere commands or orders
to the officers or men Immediately un-
der their control
A very important thing for you to
remember Is that this progressive
training in the closeorder drill is all
based upon some very simple move
ments which you will learn in the
school of the soldier and the school
of the squad. ii you get these basic
movements right so that you can per
form them exactly and promptly
and you ought to be able to- learn this
in very short time-you need have
no fear of the complicated movements
of the school of the company and the
school of the battalion. In reality,
these movements merely look more
complicated because they are carried
out by larger bodies of men.
II can not be too strongly impressed
on you that the closest attention to
your training during the first few days
will make your whole period of SER
vice much easier and more satisfac-
tory Don't lose your grasp on this
thought 1t is of the first Importance.
Put it into practice and il will help
