the first regiment OF the first division al
this camp. Part OF the men Of the
company have been here couple oi
weeks longer than we have and are con
sequently better drilled, but as we are
mixed up with them we will make
faster progress. In the depot brigade
we only had one officer, second lieu
tenant by the name Of Renaud, a Pre-
sidio man, who belongs to the artillery
here. He was certainly mighty fine
officer and we would all liked to have
gone with him, and he wanted to stay
with us, but the regimental officials
had other plans.
We were squadded up yesterday and
| am in squad Is. Last night the off :
GERS gave us housewarming and
brought the regimental band over to
furnish music. After the entertain-
msnt we were invited into the mess
room and refreshments were served at
the officers expense.
We were measured yesterday tor uni
forms and dress shoes. We have re-
ceived service shoes, an overcoat, shirt
and mess kit. We are also getting
better food here than in the depot
brigade; in fact, the eats here are very
good and there is no kick from anyone.
As this 10 Saturday afternoon every
body in the camp has half holiday I,
There are about 10000 men here now
and q few thousand more are yet TO
come. The construction work is about
over with, but there are now something
like 1900 barracks buildings here, be-
sides as many more for various other
purposes. The camp 10 said to be Q

GOOD MATERIAL FOR GLOVES.
Department of Commerce Recon-
mends the Threats of Seals.

How would you like pair of gloves
made out of a seals gullet?
You surely would if they were made
out of the soft. yellow kid which
Secretary Redfield had on his desk this
morning.
AS developer of novel ways to
utilize products commonly thrown
away the Department of Commerce is
rapidly coming to the fore, and the
very latest thing in this line is the
use of threats of seals for fine leather
Treated in a special manner. seal
outlets. which have been going to
waste for a hundred years. may be
made into the firest of fine kid"
gloves 1t is believed.
The steamer Roosevelt is now on her
way from the Pribiloff Islands to
Seattle with about 1000 of the outlets
aboard. This will make a powerful
raft of gloves. so if you get handed
pair of seal throat gloves" next
fall don't turn up your nose. but dig
down into your pockets and out with
the price. 1t probably will be cheap,
too.

EXPRESS PROFITS DECREASE.
Statement Based on Reports of Com.
panies for April.

Continued decrease in profits of ex-
press companies is shown in statistics
covering operations for April. Operat-
ing income for all companies for April
was s46e.s50 a falling off of more than
so per cent from the figures of April
1916.
This showing, was made in the face
of increased gross revenues of approx
mately $4,000 900. the total for last
April reaching s1S.322,70S. An increase
of approximately 80 per cent in operat-
ing expenses within the year. or from
81, 900, 900 to nearly 100000, accounts
for the reduction in profits
Only two companies. the Northern
and the Southern. show increases in
profits for last April over April. 1916
One company. the Adams. operated at
