CHECK BAGGAGE TO CAMP
DODGE, NOT DES MONIES
Major General PIumner Advises
Men Advised Of This Angle in
Confusion in Camp.

In notices received here, Major
General Plummer, writing from
Camp Dodge, Iowa, advises that
baggage Of all drafted men report
ing at Camp Dodge be checked to
Camp Dodge and not to the City Of
Des Moines. He states that If the
baggage master refuses to check
through, the baggage must be re-
checked to Camp Dodge before the
men report to the military authori-
ties. Baggage checks showing Des
Moines as destination will not be
accepted by the military authorities
and the men will have no early OPP
portunity to go back for their bag
gage after they have been accepted
into military service.

Municipal Surveys.

In many cities the chamber of COM
merce or another similar organization
has undertaken an elaborate and ex-
haustive survey Of the municipal gov
eminent, with the willing cooperation
and helpful suggestions of the execu-
tives and departmental heads Of the
city. The primary object of such n
survey is to disclose how things can be
done better at less cost, how service
can be improved, how citizens can be
brought to a livelier and more en-
during realization of their individual
duty toward the city in which they are
shareholders.
What Is the result Of such a sur
vey? For IN thing, a w~ell-governed
and well-managed city Is attractive In
Itself. Men like to live in the place
that car boast Of governmental advan-
tages over other cities. Efficient mu-
nicipal service at moderate cost Is one
Of the charges that every business
man must make against his cost of do
ing business. The higher the tax,
for example, the more he Is h6ndi-
capped in his race with the competi.

THE SOLDIER AND HIS COM
RADES.

II the new soldier, before joining the
%colors, has had everything much his
own way at home, the first thing that
he will discover when he goes to camp
Is that he counts for just one lndivid-
ual in his squad.
While in the family circle he may
have been 100 per n important in
all matters relating to himself, in camp
he is simply n of eight men who oc-
cupy the same tent. Theoretically, the
new soldier may know that he should
obey officers and noncommissioned Of
fcers, including the corporal who lives
In his tent; but what he may o real
lie Is that In all questions not involv-
ing authority from above, he is also
circumscribed by the rights and .prlvi-
leges Of others. The rights and con
venience of others as well as his own
must be thoroughly fixed In his mind.
1t must be a process Of giving and talk
ing all down the line.
The ratio of the rights and conven-
fences of others to his own, in fact, is
about V to one Eliminating the
corporal, whose position In the tent is
official and paternal, the new soldier is
entitled to his share of the common
rights and privileges-no m~ore--and
must uDgrudglngly perform his share
Of the common work--no less.
If the new soldier fails TO conform
to these rules of conduct, not only will
he be disciplined with odious flags and
details by the corporal, but he will find
that his terminates ~instinctively league
themselves against him. They watch
for every opportunity to make life
irksome for him. ingeniously plling the
work upon him in deft ways which they
will discover; ana, IL he is incorrigible,
they will find a chance whether 1t is
prohibited or not) to toss him up In a
blanket, or send him through a squad
spanking machine. A squad spanking
machine operates with Stats. And II
the new soldier has rendered himself
obnoxious In the tenr, he will find that
the corporal, II he does not actually
assist In this treatment, will ut least
sanction 1t.
In short. It is the easiest thing In the

to the squads on either side of him,
and at length become the butt of the
whole company. In that case. his days
and nights will be made wretched for
him.
But II the new soldier, from the
start, is cheerful, agreeable, alert, will

housekeeping his W effects in order
and the common space and property
clean-always ready to respond to de-
tails, and never forgetful of the fact
that he is but one of seven privates
with equal duties and rights, he will
have nothing to worry about from his
companions.

The Glory Of Common Things.

Many u town and city that never
vas able to mobilize against microbes
Is now mobilizing against a human
enemy. Citizens who have been luke
warm on the subject Of building sew
ers are enthusiastically discussing the
equipment Of battleships. Unable to
abate the dust on our streets, we are
preparing to sweep the seas!
Probably the best way to render
service tc III country is first to make
an earnest effort to realize the glory
of common things. Rightly viewed,
everything that conserves human life
Is honorable, exalted, sacred. The
world too long has cherished the be-
lief that 1T is u more illustrioas deed
to kill men than to feed them.-South-

obeahn,en Are Mercenarx.

The s~tock-ln-trade of the Obeah-
men is as bizarre as their inventive
minds. In their magic bags they car
ry about with them ground bones
of the dead, needles and black thread
rubbed with talfow, n looking-glass,
cards, powder, quicksilver, and an
evil-smelling gum reputed to be of
the devil. BY ringing the changes
on these mixtures they work theli
wonders and impose upon their vic
tins. Curing diseases of the mind
and of the body Is merely a side is
sue with them. Protecting fruit.
gardens and chicken runs are their
speciality. One thing they have In
common - that is, the mercenary
habit. They sell their power" to the
highest bidder. Consequently, as the
nlgger's wealth, SO his health and
prosperity. All that the Obeuhmen
stipulate is that payment must be
made according to the magnitude OF
the miracle to be wrought. They are
accredited with having knowledge of
secret African bush poisons. But
this Is an exaggeratlon. When they
have recourse TO this desperate e X
IRENE they are content to use arsenic
~rat-poison. or finely powdered glass.

HOW TO DISTINGUISH RANK.

1t would be useless for the new soldier
rank unless he knows how to distin-
guish such rank. He must know the
marking which designate the officer
and fhe noncommissioned officer, and
he must also know the general symbols
of the service.
The corporal, the lowest rank of
noncommissioned officer, wears n pri-
Yates uniform, with chevrons on his
arm. A corporal's chevrons consist of
two parallel stripes of cloth in the
shape OF n triangle without n base,
with slightly curving sides. The chew
rons, in the olive drab uniform, are
of a different shade of brown, while
on the blue army uniform they are of
the color which distinguishes the cor
poral's particular branch of the sery-
ice.
The sergeant, next In rank, wears
chevrons of three stripes while the
first sergeant, chief noncommissioned
officer of the company, wears n chev-
ron of three stripes, with q square in
the center.
The second lieutenant, in olive drab,
is marked by the difference between an
officers and n %private's uniform-that
Is, he wears leather or wool puttees,
instead of canvas leggings; there Is
n stripe of brown braid around the cuff
of his coat, and he wears the officers
maitland, n snake-cord of black and
gold strands. The first lieutenant
wears one silver bar on each shoulder
The captain has two silver bars or
each shoulder. The major has a gold
leaf, the lieutenant colonel n silver
leaf. The colonel is marked by n sill
yer eagle, and the brigadier general by
one silver star on each shoulder. TIL,
major general (the highest rank n
present in our active service) is desig
mated by two silver stars.
The officers insignia presents 4,
somewhat different appearance OF
dress and full-dress uniforms, al
though the marks remain the same, blu
as the new soldier who goes int
camp now is likely to see nothing bu
the field-service uniform, 1t would b,
confusing to burden his mind with
further description of officers shoulde
straps.
1t is essential, however, that h
should know the colors of at least tn
three great branches Of the. service

Hometown
BUNGALOW GAINS IN FAVOR
Structure Has individuality Of Its Own
and Has Lost crudeness That
Marked the Earlier Types.

The bungalow has practically
%lutlonized the entire building plan OF
the country, from n home construc-
ton angle. The structure possesses
an individuality of Its own which
makes 1t a real home, not merely a
shelter from the elements. Even an
empty bungalow Is not as deserted
appearing as n vacant house of anoth-
er type.
Apparent crudeness Of construction
which was characteristic of the early
type of bungalow Is practically extinct
save Mt the senshorG and sylvan camps.
MISUNDERSTANDING has developed
through many phases of construction
in recent years, but the bowlder con-
tinues an effective ally of the builder.
Well-planned bowlder a~dornments,
which are at the same time useful,
as In n wall or chimney, are always at
tractive and enhance the beauty Of
the building.
Popularity of the chalet type of bum
galow is easily explained. II Is not
only unusually attractive, but makes
an excellent place OF abode. In tho
chalet type more room is allowed on
the second floor than In most other mod
els, yet the low effect is not lost and
low porch caves, which are among
the real features of bungalows, are re-
tanned.
Stucco bungalows hold much favor
throughout the country. With u fiat
roof and with or without a cornice
this type of building Is attractive. A
low-pitched tile or other visible ROOT
would be In keeping with the general
plan of n stucco bungalow.
Bungalows built very close to the
ground, with the first floor but n OF
two steps up, are also quite popular
especially when portions of 1t are over
grown with vines. Pergola posts, eithel
Of wood or stucco, according to the
material used in constructing the. bun
galow, when overrun with roses OF
other flowers, enhance the beauty o.
the dwelling.

II there are important reasons why
n soldier in camp oil in barracks should
look to his health, these reasons are
infinitely more important when on the
mach. For If n sick soldier Is n drain
OH the regimental while In
camp, in the field, If he has to be car
ried in an ambulance. or sent back to
the hospital In the care of another sol
der, he becomes an utter encum-
brance.
1t Is for this reason that the phys
ical examinations are now so exacting,
in order to weed out all those predis-
posed to break down under marching
conditions. Yet 1t is not necessary for
a man to be actually sick for him to
become a dead weight on n body of
troops. If he does not take care of his
feet, he will become fully as useless.
One half-inch blister may, for march
ing purposes, turn a slx-foot soldier
into an invalid.
In the first place, the shoes should
be fitted with special attention. They
should neither be too wide nor too
short. Sores and blisters should be
promptly dressed during a halt. AT
the end of the march the feet should
be bathed and dressed, and, If prac-
tlcable, the shoes should be changed.
A soldier should under nc circum-
stances, however, go barefoot, for his
feet would swell and give him in
creased difficulty as o as he starts
to march 'again. o
One of the points which cannot be
emphasized too strongly is that water
should not be drunk ON the march. A
soldier may take an occasional swal.
low from his canteen, rinse out his
mouth and her expel the water, but
If he drinks outright-as he may dc
freely Mt the end of the march-the
consequences are disastrous
One National Guard regiment on the
Mexican border last year started upon
a slx-mile march. The column vas
shining succession of uplifted can
teens. Before five miles had been GOV
cred. 20 men were stretched out by the
roadside in collapse. Another Ma
tional Guard regiment, in which the
men drank without restraint OF n no
march-even scooping up water from
puddles, lost approximately two hun
dred out Of the column on that day.
A soldier should never sleep on thu
ground. He should always have his
rubber poncho, or ut least his blanket
beneath him, and, whenever possible
a bed Of straw or leaves beneath pom
cho or blanket. If the dampness o
the soil entered his system, he woul'
contract cold and rheumatism and be
come, as with all sick men, q heav,
drag upon his organization.
Just as it Is essential, for the SAX,
of his health, thai Il soldier keep scru
pulously clean, so for the protection o
the general health, a camp or barrack
must also be rendered immaculate. Al
trash, even small pieces of paper
should be swept from the floor of tn
tent or quarters, or "policed" from tn
company st-eet. For trash breeds in
sects and insects carry disease. Al
pools and damp places near the cam,
should be drained, so that mosquitoe
may have no place to multiply. Flo
this reason soldiers are supplied wit
mosquito bars, as a protection agains
p%urveyors of fever. All camp refus
is either buried In a sink or burned Il
an incinerator.
