It costs the United States approXi- mately 5000 year for each man in the army service. Because of this fact the suggestion to make the army attractive so that recruiting will be made easier through increasing the pay from $15 monthly to s45 is un- likely to prevail. Today the per capita expenditures for the regular army of the United States are the greatest of any country in the world.
 There are approximately 130,000 men in the regular establishment, maintained at cost of $13O,000,000.

Editor FL Paso Herald.
In the two years that have been
at Fort Bliss. I have found Just one
home in FL Paso. where an well
come 20 spend an evening at my viii.
where I am respected in the way I
like to be respected. and in the way
like to respect other people
These people have an apartment
at a certain number on MaEoffin ave
nue.. They were told one day last
week, that they would have 20 leave
the apartment. as they had been seen
entertaining indecent company. was
the indecent company. owing to the
fact that I was in soldiers uniform.
Here is another example OF respect
and also OF manners:
1 was riding 20 FL Paso IN a trolIy
car short time ago, and two very
well dressed women entered the car.
There being no seats empty, I gave
them mine. I stood IN the aisle a
couple OF seats from them and
heard one OF them remark. I wonder
II he knows just how big a fish he
really is2 Pretty soft, ehE' Now Il
a man Is a fish" because he gives a
woman his seat and stands himself.
what must he do TO show that he has
at least few manners2
We soldiers were all civilians at
one time. and we have mothers.
brothers and sisters who We respect.
and who respect US.
The army is like every other walk
in life It IS made Up OF all kinds
OF people. When you are judging
the men IN uniform, don't Judge all
alike II you show Us due respect,
you viii get respect IN return
I have often wondered, since Uncle
sam has started drafting men. Il the
mothers and sisters OF Fl Paso would
think OF their own sons and brothers
as they do the sons and brothers OF
some other mothers and sisters.
