Do not put all the blame on the
manufacturer; perhaps his idea of
business is to supply the people
what they want. It is a much
slower process giving them what
they ought to have.

Men who have been selected to

being offered a good opportunity to
become acquainted with some OF the
rudiments of military work through
the drills that are being conducted
for their benefit at the Knights OF
Pythias temple.
The next one will be next Monday
night.
Every man who is selected for the
new army should attend these drills
and become acquainted with the work
that will be given him when he enters
camp.
This drill work. although not com,
pulsory, is essential to ever man who
is to become a soldier and was started
at the suggestion of the army.

Men who are able, by these drills

Micah Steele was primitive man
a man bent on revenge for a great
wrong done him. So when he was
sMpwrecked on a desert island with
Elma Raybourne, he did not act to-
ward her in the way that a man with
less passionate impulses would have
acted. Micah took charge Of the situa-
ton in an efficient, business-like way,
but when he insisted that it was his
right to be allowed to sleep in the hut,
near Elma's cot, she shot him in the
hand. And then Elma, being thor
oughly womanly woman, bound up
his wound for him and tenderly took
care of him until his hurt was healed
Then, when two sailormen came to
the island for no good purpose and
Micah fought with them, she was
forced to admit that he put up a good
fight And then. just before ship
came to take them back to civilization,
she made momentous decision. Just
what this decision was, you can see
by attending the showing of Souls
Adrift" at the Washington theatre on
Tuesday and Wednesday.
