LESSON NO. 3
Nine Soldierly Qualities

Nine SOldterly Qualities
(Preceding Lessons. /. Your Post of
Honor; 2. Making Good as Sol
dier.)
The three basic qualities, Loyalty,
Obedience and Physical Fitness,
were treated in the preceding lesson.
There is another group of three SOL
dierly qualities that are especially
needed during the periods of train
ing, marching and waiting between
combats. They are:
Intelligence,
Cleanliness,
CheerfulnesS.
Although these qualities are asso-
ciated chiefly with camp life, they
are, of course, scarcely less helpful
in all other phases of military serv-
ice.
Intelligence
Intelligence does not necessarily
mean education, but rather quick
observation and willingness to learn.
There Is plenty of need for intelli-
gence in modern warfare. The Ma
tional Army will be forced to alb
sorb within a few months a training
which would ordinarily extend over
a period of two or three years. Those
who intend to flt themselves for pro-
motion should study thoroughly the
which affect their duties. In time
they should learn something about
map-making and map-reading, the
construction of field entrenchments,
training and care of horses, signal
ing, the handling of complex pieces

STYLE FOR ARAB WEDDING
Bridegroom Must Ride Nervous Horse
Without Reins or Stirrups, In
Middle Of Procession.

Coming through the streets OF Al
glers of an evening you may meet a
noisy procession that causes you to
wonder whether It is food riot or a
revolutionlsts' parade. This Is an
Arab wedding procession, one of the
most ingenious devices ever developed
for the embarrassment and mental tor
ture of the bridegroom, says globe
trotter.
1t Is headed by the father Of the
bridegroom, an elderly gentleman, who
PAGES soberly ahead, out Of the con-
fusion. attended by a few philosophi-
cal friends, all clad In white. Be-
hind him come n mob of young men
carrying torches and lanterns tied to
the ends Of poles, beating drums and
blowing tin horns, yelling at the top of
healthy voices. The center of the
procession Is made up of particular
friends of the bridegroom, who burn
red and green flares in addition to
waving torches of the milder sort. Be
hind them Is band of hired musi-
clans, trailed by all the small boys,
dogs and idlers Of Algiers.
All this parade naturally attracts
certain amount Of attention. In the
, middle OF 1t, mounted on a nervous
horse, very much embarrassed and

He seems to ride very unsteadily and
awkwardly, but closer observation
shows he Is doing well to ride ut all,
! for friends have taken the stirrups
| from his feet and the reins from his
hands so that he has to hold on by
force of gravity and his sense of equi-
| librium. The red fire and the drums
generally stimulate his mount to SUI
perequine activity. and 1t is marvel
that none of the enthusiastic friends
get stepped on. The bridegroom, 1t
is safe to surmise, is not sorry when
his triumphal procession Is over.
