Ny captain is a worker Of magis-
whom his Hecromaney has descended and
upon whom II Is working its changes.
In our day-to-day life, before we step
ped into this atmosphere Of bAgle calls
and policing OF eantonmeHts, we nat
merely wanted what We wanted when
we wanted il, but did what we had TO do
when we wanted to. Darn independent
Americans We WeFe-with that sign 0V-
eF our desks which reminded rs that if
we didn I care for = man our privilege
was 10 tell him to 90 to.
However, I started out to tell about
our Captain At our first formation. he
came before Us, a slender man, in
smooth strides, stopped abruptly, and
said, very distinctly: " AT ease. Where
upon, he looked Us over. running his
alive black eyes along cur ranks. We
were not at ease under that scrutiny
believe me. Then:
81 'Tenshun.n We made ourselves
more rigid-if suck an achievement were
possible
"Rest," We relaxed thsH, for we
had not altogether neglected eur drill
books in the days Of hurry and planning
for this training camp. Again:
- 'Tenshan. We simulated. in our
several strange fashions. the well-known
ramrod. Then from our Captain:
81 When you come 70 the position of
attention. you snap into it. Heels
together-or as near together as the
conformation of the body will permit. -
There was pause. a slight twitehing of
our Captain : face maseles-I knew we
w0Hld like hiH as soon as saw that
fragment of grin, and reflected that
his ewes were caught by the bandy-leg-
ged little Irjsher whom / will call Casey
We d known Casey nearly ten hours
and were convinced. The army needs
MIN. even though his heels are three
inches apart as he takes the position Of
the soldier.
Again, | am getting away from the
text Of this little piece and the man
who furnishes the illustration Thinking
OF our. Captain and his immediate ap-
probation of Casey probably accounts
for my diversion.
"This is the way it is done.'' said
cur Captain. facing first right and then
left, and coming to "attentionl f'It
is not position Of strain. 1t is one Of
readiness.
4" Now. 'yFenshuni , At ease. Next
time snap into it. 'Tenshun.'' That IS
better"
And SO on. Swapping into it was es-
tablished as the company IDEAL
A quality of crisp decision marks our
Captain as Of the younger generation
of American army men. He isn't the
kind that sfeats his young g''-fieree
and terrifying. We say, in cantonment
comment, that cur captain knows. IF

This has been due to false econ

What we all must learn Is to
eliminate waste. There is a great
deal Of difference between waste
and sensible spending. The most
reprehensibie form OF waste, OF
course. at the present time is in
the matter OF food. Secretary

sfThe Paige factory is doubling its
capacity to take care of next year S
demand. - SAYS Guyer & Prienl, distTibu-
tors Of the Paige ear. sin the past II
months sales of the Paige have doubled
The rate of growth in demand for this
completely equipped, luxurious, powerful
and enduring car in the middle-priee
range. indicates that where $4,000 per
annum is the present rate of sales, next
wear there will be at least $4,000 sold.
The Paige Detroit Motor corporation
has nnabated confidence in the ability
Of the american people to finance the
war in which they are engaged and also
maintain national prosperity on scale
which certainly will not diminish and
NAV increase the demand for automo-
biles. The qtIickness Of industrial aeti-
vity and national life in all its phases
viii certainly not reduce the demand for
efficient and attractive means Of trans
portatin.

ready gigantic plant will be erected on

ben purchased. /"
President Harry NJ Jewett. of the
Paige factory has written Mr. Guyer
that work on the addition is alreadS

factory have bcen noted for eonseFya-
tive and financial aeumen as well as for
the vision which has carried their com
pany forward TO big things in com
raratively short period of years.
cit is everywhere admitted that fun
damental conditions point TO intense ma
tional activity and liberal circulation ofI
money in the next two years. These con
ditions undoubtedly spell prosperity.

swimming pool is of solid concrete
construction and is 90 feet long and 40
feet wide the minimum depth being
three feet and the maximum eight

feature is considered a great improve

All the other pools of the city are
