Glass Liable to BE Glass Before

D. F. Jones: Il find that jobbers
In some instances are experiencing
much difficulty in getting their supply

mistaken the American people will

cradle of a scramble for glass goods.
The trouble is not that the chief ele-
ment of which glass is made is be-
coming scarce, but that it is exceed
ingly difficult to secure some of the
chemicals that / needed in the
making of glass. This is due to war
conditions, Of course, and probably
this trouble will be avoided within a
reasonable time after the war closes,

Front" At the preparatory com mand, all corporals, except the leader of the first squad give the command 'right oblique." If the company is at halt, the corporal of the first squad commands forward" tHe usually does this anyhow, for the instruction of his men although 1t is not re- quired by the regulations if the col- umn from the captain, the first squad moves straight to the front, while the rear squads each oblique as indicated.
 When the leading squad has ad- vanced the desired distance, the com mand "halt' is given by the captain. The squad halts, and the corporal gives the command left dress" Eacn of the succeeding squads when. by obliquing to the right has reached a point opposite it's position in line, marches forward" at the command of its corporal: by his command 1t IS also halted and executes the left dress" All dress on the first unit in line.
 In this movement it will be observed that there is 8 variation from the usual series of commands. For ex- ample, although we have right front into line." followed by right oblique," this Is not brought to conclusion with right dress" but with left dress" Yet the reason Is obvious to the new soldier when he has once seen the movement executed. The leading squad remember, marches straight to the front and the other squads oblique to the right. This causes them to form on the right of the first squad when they reach the line. The first squad, therefore-the squad upon which all the others are to dress-is now established at their left. It IS necessary, then, to give left dress :" Conversely, in 'left front into line." the command would be right dress" because ''left front into line'' would place the first squad on the right of the new line. Tomorrow's article will tell how the company is turned on a fixed or a moving pivot.

 At the preparatory command from the captain, the corporal of the first squad gives his own men the com mand right turn;" the corporals of the remaining squads give forward" At march," the command of execu- ton. the leading squad turns to the right on moving pivot-that Is, 1t executes right turn" as taught in the school of the squad.
 The command ''halt" Is given when the first squad has advanced the de- sired distance in the new direction. This command is from the captain and will halt the whole company squad by squad as the successive squads place themselves in line with the leading squad. As soon as the halt Is exe- cuted by the first, squad the corporal commands right dress'' and the squad continues to remain at the right dress until the movement Is completed by the company and the captain orders front" after confirming the company alignments.
 The other squads, in obedience to the comamnd forward" from theil corporals, continue to march straight to the front until each is opposite the right of it's place in the line.
