TURNING THE SQUAD.

When a squad is marching in line,
there are two ways Of turning ton
a moving or on a fixed pivot.
The squad is turned on a moving
pivot when it is marching as sepa
rate unit or when, in a column of
squads, the command column right
Qeft" is given. The moving pivot, in
which the pivot man on the front rank
advances at the half-step of Is inches
| until the line is abreast of him, is de-
signed to turn a column precisely but
with the least loss of Roadway.
A fixed pivot, squads right QefD,'
turns each squad in it's place on the
designated base, right or left, and is
movement which bears important re-
latiOn to every other squad in the col
umn. For if the forward movement
is not entirely checked by the pivot
mans turning and marking time in his
tracks, the whole company will be
thrown out of alignment.
Being in line, the squad executes
the command Fright Qeft) turn
MARCH" as follows:
At "march" the pivot man mo. ~
of the front rank faces to the right,
taking first the full step of 80 inches,
in order to clear the space directly
behind him, and then advances at the
half-step while the other men of the
rank oblique to the right until opposite
| their places in line. Each then exc
cutes second right oblique, and on
arriving abreast Of the pivot man,
takes the half-step until the last man
in the rank arrives ON the line, when
all proceed at the full step.
To turn the squad on a fixed pivot,
the command Squad right Qeft) f. :.
MARCH" is given. At march," the
right man (No. ~ in the front rank
faces to the right and marks time. The
| other front-rank men, Obliquing to the
right, place themselves abreast of the
pivot man and also mark time. In the
rear rank, No. 8, that is, the third
man from the right, moves straight to
the front until he is 40 inches in the
rear of his front-rank man. He then
faces to the front and marks time. The
second and first men of the rear rank
follow No. 3 in column until they also
are directly behind their front-rank
men. They then face to the front and
| mark time. No. of the rear rank
meantime moves straight to the front
| at the side of No. 3 for four PAGES. He
then faces to the front and steps up
abreast of No. 3. AS the last man ar
| rives in his place-Or, when perform
ing the movement by numbers, at the
sixth count after the command is
| given-both ranks execute forward
march without further command.
squad right Qeft)" is a much
used and important movement that re-
quires much practice for proper exc
cution, especially by the rear-rank
men, who too often undertake to
scramble into position. The pivot man
also must be extremely careful to turn
in his tracks and not to take ground,
an admonition easily comprehended,
| but frequently neglected in execution
| The pivot man and the rear-rank men
have it in their power to make or
spoil this movement, which, improperly
| executed, will disrupt and disarrange
an entire column.

U. S. Patent Office.

The United States patent Office was
originally attached to the department
of state, instead of, as now, to the
interior department. The first patent
law was approved April 10, 1890. Only
three patents were granted the first
year, 33 the second and II the third.
We had not yet become an inventive
people. In 1886 the patent Office was
burned, with all its records, thus
clearing the way for the establish
ment of much better system When

cards signed, with three or four Of

weather has impeded our progress
somewhat to date, but reports from
the workers are very encouraging
and we find everybody willing to sign
the pledge cards as soon as we have
explained the purpose Of our visit. In
many cases we find the people al
ready doing even more than we ex-

fetal. eve are urging only that they
substitute nourishing, palatable
foods, which we have in abundance,
for. a few commodities that we must
ship to our Allies. We must send
wheat, meats, fats and sugar. There
is no escape from that necessity and
duty. We can do it easily if we will
substitute corn and other cereals for
part of our usual consumption of
wheat, use fish, poultry and eggs, in
stead of part of our usual consump-
tion of meat, employ vegetable oils
instead of animal fats in cooking and
save sugar by using syrups wherever
possible. This involves no hardship,
no deprivation. In fact it will usu-
ally increase the variety and palata-
bility Of our daily diet. But, it will
release these other foods which con-
centrate large amount of nutritive
value into a small shipping space.
Combined with the elimination of all
possible waste it will permit us to
keep our Allies supplied with food"
