Earl Headrick Says
10000 Men In Camp

Earl Headrick, formerly of Company
M, writes that he has been transferred
as an electrician to the 9TH company
He figures out there are 10000 men in
camp Mills and that about 5000 aero
planes are not far from the camp.
The electricians do not drill, accord
ing to Mr. Headrick. The company is
composed entirely of those who have
had some trade and are experts along
certain lines. He writes they attend
school and in addition have signal
corps work.
They carry As automaties instead
of rifles in his company. He expects
to be in New York all winter, though
the impression is that if they do move,
il will be to Florida.
The menu for supper, he writes, is
about like this: vegetable soup, baked
halibut, mashed potatoes with gravy,
raisin pudding, butter, rye bread and
cocoa.

about the same amount of food stnffs
sold as one year ago, although the price
is somewhat higher. The meat markets
have not to any great extent felt the
effects of meatless days, although some
believe that the hig price of meats has
done more to hold the business down
than food conservation plans. The opin-

probable trouble, we ordered full equip

thorized and made without funds, and

sisted in preliminary negotiations.

cember / to gather enough equipment
