The following letter from CASEY
Jones, to a friend. was published in
the Collegian this week. 1t will inter-
est our readers and give them a view
IF life in one of the training camps.
Wednesday. Oct. "a, l917.-Dear Ed:
You guessed right. 1t has sure ben
cold here the last week or two. II
isn't much colder up in the air now
than II was last summer. | few 50
miles Friday in a cold wind but |
didn't get as cold as | did on the
ground waiting for my turn TO ride.
We were taking our r. NJ. A. test that
day. | didn't finish. Have one or
two stunts to do yet. The hardest
one is to stop 200 feet from a desig-
mated mark with a dead motor. |
haven't yet been able to land with a
dead motor but I a come fairly close
to the mark with a throttled motor.
Have to climb out Of a small field,
too. That was some trip | had Fri
day. | kept we'll above 1000 feet on
the way over. A half mile race rack
looked about this big-O. Had to
dodge a few clouds on the way over.
I do hate to go through them. The
sun was just setting when | came
back. | came 81 miles in % minutes:
it was almost dark when [ landed
here. Did you ever see the sun set
twice the same day? You can watch
it set from the ground and then go
up about three or four thousand feet
and see it set again. never believed
it until | saw it demonstrated. Sure.
objects are visible at 5000 feet.
found 1t very easy to follow a railroad
track at 5000 feet altitude. BY the
way | passed the trains on the way
out there.
| haven't heard yet how the boys
came out at the National Dairy Show.
Better than last year, I hope. | sup
pose l will know when the Collegian
comes. They usually give some space
to Judging teams even when they get
the fifth place.
I came near dropping in on you this
week. | didn't get a chance to finish
r. NJ. A. though. 1t got too dark.
They won't have any more till Mon
dav I'm afraid Il will be too late. we
can't go then. You see we are like
" to leave here almost any time. l
haven't any idea when we will go.
Somebody starts a rumor every min
ute. Everybody tries to Guido the
other fellow in what is peculiarly
called latrine gossip. AS a matter of
fact nobody knows a darn thing about
it. We have orders to be ready to
leave here November 1. but that's no
sign we will leave then: perhaps not
for three or four weeks yet.
1 suppose Smithy is home and mar
ried by this time. He left Dayton
Friday. Well. l am wishing him all
kinds OF good luck.
l have to fly again in a few minutes
(of course I don't want toy s must
bring this to a close. I'll be here I'M
til you hear differently. Sincerely,
Casey, Reserve Detachment.

THEIR sENsELEss DREAMS.
They Were Not Forgotten, as the Little
Gear Had Ordered.

They Were Not Forgotten, az the Little
Gear Had Ordered.
An incident which occurred at the
very beginning of Nicholas Ills reign
is very characteristic Of the attitude Of
the former emperor toward any share
Of the people In the government Of
Russia.
A deputation of the foremost repre-
sentatives of the Russian nobility was
sent to bring congratulations to the
new emperor. Very bright hopes were
connected with the ascendance to the
throne of the young monarch after a
period of gloomy reaction during the
reign of his father, Alexander III, and
In consequence 1t was decided to pre-.
sent to him through delegation Of the
mobiles an extremely modest supplica-
ton In favor Of an embryo chamber of
Representatives. the only proposed right
Of which was the right to be consulted
by the emperor whenever it pleased
him.
The delegates, composed of highly re-
spected and venerable elderly gentle
men, numbering several hundred, was
lined up in the big hall Of the Winter
palace In Petrograd and kept standing
In o military order and in complete ST.
lence for more than two hours
At last a detachment Of dismounted
horse guards In topboots and with huge
swords hurriedly entered the hall with
a terrific noise and placed itself In
front Of the awe stricken delegation.
Then the tiny emperor In wild excite.
ment rushed in and, pacing up and
down the hall In the midst of the giant
soldiers and shouting at the venerable
gentlemen, delivered brief but very
definite speech, the gist of which con-
sisted Of the following expression;
Forget your senseless dreamsr-A. N

GREAT NATURAL BRIDGE.
Justice Marshall Called It Goods
Greatest Miracle In Stone"

Justice Marshall Called It Goods
Greatest Miracle In Stone"
The great Natural bridge, which is
one Of the natural wonders of the
United States, overlooks the James riv-
er valley, in Virginia, being on the
western slope of the Blue mountains.
It is just about the center of the state.
It approaches Niagara In grandeur and
exceeds 1t in height and awful mys-
terry. 1t is a single block of limestone,
with many shades of color. The walls
are smooth, a. If cut with chisels, and
there is no sign of displacement.
The visitor follows a tumbling cas-
cade down deep fissure In the noun
tain under some of the largest arbor
vitae trees in the world and, turning
down line Of steps cut into the preei-
|pice, suddenly finds himself by a swift
stream In dark canyon and the great
bridge far above him.
Washington when a surveyor for
Lord Fairfax visited the Natural bridge
and carved his name, where it may
still be seen. The original bridge tract
was granted by King George III. to
Thomas Jefferson In 1774 After he
was president Jefferson visited the
place. surveyed 1t and made the map
with his own hands. Jefferson spoke
of the place as "a famous place that
will draw the attention OF the world"
Chief Justice Marshall wrote of the
bridge as Gods greatest miracle in
stone" Henry Clay wrote of "the
bridge not made with hands that spans
river, carries a highway and makes
two mountains one"

PAIN IN THE BACK.
II Should Not Be ignored, as II May
l.

h Should Not Be ignored, as II May
Mean Serious Trouble.
Backache, like headache and many
another ache to which the human
frame is subject, is a symptom that
may be caused by great many differ
emit conditions.
A chronic pain in the back may
mean very serious trouble. Tubercu-
Iosis does not respect any part of the
human body. When 1t attacks the
spinal COLUMN it Is called Potts dis
ease. Among the initial symptoms is
q backache that the patient complains
Of long before signs of &eformity show
themselves. If the backache is ignor-
ed much valuable time may be lost. A
careful examination at the earliest
complaint of pain and stiffness may
give the physician an opportunity to
prescribe course of treatment that
viii arrest the disease before it causes
ieformity. The tuberculin test enables
the physician to make sure that the
backache is not caused by a less Sc
rious condition. A negative tuberculin
test means that he must look further
for the cause Of the pain.
Much backache could be spared
young adolescents If they would per-
sistently carry out system Of simple
calisthenics designed to strengthen the
back. If they begin it in childhood it
will prevent many Of them fEom out
growing their spines. OF course all
children should use the seats. and desks
that enforce good attitude.
In many cases Of young adolescents
who have grown very rapidly it will be
found advisable to permit the wearing
Of carefully fitted support or belt.
In older persons who suffer from con-
slant backache the cause may be a
weakening Of the abdominal muscles.
In that case an abdominal belt be-
comes necessity.-Youth's Compan-
Ion.

A Riot Of Architecture In tie Jagged
Foreet of Towers.
The best Of New York is against the

New York tries to be higher than eE-
erything else The profile Of the city
Is as Jagged as o second growth forest
a city Of towers is the name that has
been used to describe MaRhattan. But
II is far too polite. We are much more
like colossal factory town with an
unending variety Of workshops topped
by the tallest Of marble chimneys.
Restlessness and activity are Its
watchwords. Even our private houses
are stood on end A few millionaires
can afford to buy a block and spread
out their homes SO as actually to look
rooted to the ground. The rest Of the
world must live ON end In tree house,
connected by many ladders. that might

and the Metropolitan museum, are SIM
ply noteworthy exceptions whose pla-
cidity makes the surrounding upheavals
all the more turbulent.

bulence with a method Contest, rivalry,
the will to beat out ones neighbOr,

Of the newer dwelling houses quarrel

fashion. Restraint, modesty, desire
to melt into the general scheme Of

NAVY WILL ESTABLISH
PERMANENT RECRUITING
STATION IN PENDLETON
Room in the. Post Office Will
Be Used for Office; Men
Are Needed.

Thursday. March 1, the United
States Navy will be represented in
Pendleton by permanent recruiting
station. Through the courtesy of the
federal officials a room in the post
office building has been placed at the
disposal of the navy for this purpose.
That the navy is the first line of
defense and the main defense of the
United States has been brought home
to the American people to such an ex-
tent that congress has voted millions
for new battleships, battle cruisers,
scout cruisers, torpedo boat destroy
ers submarines and the other neces-
sary types of ships to make up a for
midible fleet, But a fleet without
men is of no value so that congress on
August 29, 1916. authorized an in
crease of $4,000 men.
The navy needs these men immedi-
ately and the inducements which are
a part of navy life are expected to fill
up the navy within the next six
months.
Young men to enter the navy must
be American citizens. Any boy born
in the United States is a citizen re
gardless of the citizenship of his par
I6 to 80 but il a boy is under Is he
must have the consent of his parents.
The pay for the first three months
while undergoing training is $3.50
per month but this is automatically
increased to 5000 per month Most
young men double their pay in the
first enlistment and on a second en-
listment the pay runs up to $S5 per
month. This is practically clear mon
ey, for the government supplies a full
outfit of clothes and the very excel
lent meals are provided free of cost
All warrant officers for the navy
are appointed from the ranks and
about one hundred are appointed each
year. Pay of warrant officers ranges
from 1896 per month to $3OS per
month.
One hundred young men are to be
sent to Annapolis each year to be-
come commissioned officers Young
men in the navy learn trades, see tho
world and are the highest paid men-n-
warsmen in the world.

A story of an attack made by
bald eagle upon band of seven deer
was brought down this morning
from Bingham Springs by Albert Ba-
ker, forest ranger at that station. He
personally witnessed the attack sever
al days ago. The eagle would swoop
down upon the deer from height
and etrike one of the animals with
such force that it would be prostrated.
This the eagle repeated several times.
He was unable to see the finish of the
eagles attack as the deer disappeared
over a ridge. However he thinks the
animals escaped their winged assail-
ant by taking to the brush.
