San Diego, Cal, has written, under
date of October 8, an interesting letter
to the Free Press, as follows:
As you see ! have been transferred
from San Francisco to San Diego. This
is much better place and we have
more room. While our barracks are not
as good, the climate makes up for the
difference. We are at present station
ed at the exposition grounds and have
our barracks in three of the buildings.
Captain Brotherton is the commandment
and is assisted by fine staff of com
missioned and petty officers. We have
many amusements, the Y. NJ. c. A. being
back of them and they are doing much
to make camp life pleasant. There are
motion pictures, baseball, football and
music. We have large library, about
5000 volumes at our disposal. Most of
my battalion is on furlough to Los
Angeles now, but will return tomorrow
night. All together there are about
1000 men here. We drill pretty heavily
and have much time off. | passed an
examination today on internal cumbus-
ton engines for submarines chaser

here have passed and will also go. San
Diego is full of soldiers and sailors
Camp kearney being about fifteen miles
out, where close to 10000 men are
stationed
Much hard feeling is manifested here
by enlisted men because of preference
shown drafted men by civilians and
several fights have started over it.
Total wages for second class seamen

L1chens as Food

through the world of space should
expect to find somewhere creatures as
intelligent rs we are living upon the
grass of the fields. and. through troub
ling themselves less about their food
supply, haze more time to cultivate
their mind; and morals.
If we ever do come to diet of
lichens we shall make intimate &C
quaintance with one of the strangest
forms OF vegetable life that this planet
contains. They are plants of dual
nature, or they are a combination toi
two kinds of plants. They consist Of
an alga combined with fungus. 1t
might be called a marriage in which
the two parties are blended into one
individual. The result is an organism
which can survive under conditions
that would destroy either of the part
ners, or components, if living alone.
1t follows that lichens are very
long-lived, as we'll as able to live in
all kinds of conditions. They grow
on bare earth, on the bark of trees,
on stones and rocks, in cold and heat,
in moisture and dryness. 1t is be-
lieved that some species outlive the
longest-lived trees.
They appear in the form of gray,
yellow or brown crusts or masses al
most everywhere upon trees, rocks
and soil But they keep away from
cities. On a bare rocky surface a
fungus would die from want of or
ganic substance, and an alga from
drought and want of mineral sub
stances, but the lchen "a combination
OF the two) is able to grow, as the
alga supplies organic food material
and the fungus has developed bat
terry of acids which enable it actually
to dissolve the most resistant rocks,
so that it supplies the needed mineral
substances, and thus the double crea-
ture, which looks single except to the
eye of science, outwits death.
To go any farther we should have
to enter very wonderful cabinet Of
science, over whose door is written
the word "symbiosis," and whose
shelves are laden with the story Of
partnerships in low life which ex-
ceeds any human partnerships if
closeness and completeness of unity.

Base Ball Games for Red Cross
Base ball enthusiasts who have been
giving all their spare time to Red
Cross work have turned their
thoughts to the great American game
as source OF money for the good
cause. Miss Helene Bixby and a
group OF her friends who are faithful
fans have decided to arrange bcne-
fit base ball game ii players can be
secured and il the Red Cross authori-
tics will accept the money. AT Coro-
nado Beach, in California, a benefit
base ball game nctted $4,000 for the
Red Cross.
Mrs. Edmund Pennington OF Min

nal benefit, went back to her home

What can be done in Coronado can
be done in Minneapolis" she said.
Accordingly Minneapolis is slated to
have one or two benefit base ball
games.
What can be done in Minneapolis
can be done in Omaha" says Miss
Bixby and the other society fans.
People arc spending their money for
amusement anyway. 50 they'd surely
be willing to benefit the Red Cross
at the same time that they are en-
joying themselves. Instead of going

save their dimes for the benefit ball
