constant. and reminds the pedagogue of Newman's ideal university-two men on log.
 Veteran officers who have built trenches in France supervise trench construction at Quantico, personally show the students how to arrange sand-bags, how to build bomb-proof dug-outs, how to camouf1age, how to make revetments and Gabians when sand-bags cannot be had, and tell them the principles of trench planning which guard against flank attacks and make for the greater safety of the fighters. --. --
 Road study and road sketching. a big factor in modern warfare, is an- other important feature of the train- ing at Quantico. In this subject. as in practically all the others, the in- structors are qualified for the present duties by actual campaign experience.
 All In The Days Chow
 The health of the Marines at Quan- tico is good, of course. It could hard | ly be otherwise, so carefully has their daily life been laid out for them. And with plenty of clear, fresh. coun- try air. and exercise both mental and physical, it is quickly realized what a problem faces the messmen in the galley. How they feed to a point of satiety these husky young warriors is story in itself. A recent menu taken from the cooks official book will give the theme simply. Each article on the menu is served in seemingly un- limited supply. Every man is well come to as much of anything, includ- ing the whitest of bread, as he cares to eat Here is one days sample of what the Marine calls his 'chow":
 Breakfast-Baked beans with pork, pickles, corn bread, butter, coffee, milk.
 Chicken sauta CD egg dumplings, mashed potatoes, creamed peas, combination salad, lemonade, bread and butter, ice cream, sponge cake.
 Supper-Cold sliced beef, potato salad, cold beans, ice water, bread and butter. ''He begins with bean, he ends with
 bean.
 If he doesn't he isn't reg'lar Ma
 rine- -.-.+ But oh, what a lot comes in be-
 tween!"
 Some chow! Some training camp! Some devil-dogs!

 The close comradeshfp that marks the work of these men distinguishes | their leisure hours as well. The en- thusiasm, too, that sweeps them along in their studies, permeates the various forms of relaxation. Many forms of athletics, from baseball to pitching quoits, they go in for strenuousIy. l Highly popular, too, are the enter tainments. At the enlisted mems dance every Friday night in the post gymna- sium, girls from Washington and Fredericksburg entertain and dance with the Marines from o'clock to $40. Here officers and men mingle in democratic fellowship. The Post Marine band and orchestra-made up, of course, of Marines-play alternate ly during these evening functions.
 Plenty Of CoIIegians Here | likewise a strong drawing card. Wash ington vaudeville entertainers make up the programs, and the Heather necks" have proved that they recog- nize and appreciate good stuff This | is easy to understand, since of the present student-off1cer class of 500 Marines, 150 are college graduates, more than 200 others attended college from one to three years, and many of , the others are Marines who have been in foreign service and have that l broader education of travel which no university affords. It is small wonder that the entertainme have gradual ly attained a higher artistic tone. Walter Damrosch never had a more courteous, attentive audience than when his symphony orchestra gave a strictly classical concert at the Quantico camp. The Marines have shown that they want and appreciate the best.
 Excellent hunting and fishing are found in the Virginia woods nearby Sunday hikes through the forests, rich with moss and ferns are popular, too, and few of the men spend that day in camp. One concrete road, perfect ly graded, stretches five miles into primeval forest land, affording an easy walk through beautiful scenery in it's widest state. -
 The relation between instructing of fcers and men, is notable If a ques- ton occurs to a student, he has but to seek an officer and thresh the mat ter out with him. This contact be- tween student and instructor minds is

Without doubt they have helped to "save the day"
 Everywhere they have shouldered the hoe. The appeal to produce some food has reached all classes. It has gone to every nook and corner of the land, until today there is not city, town or village that does not boast of its war gardens. Employees of stores and factories have planted vege- table plots; and the managers and officers have gone out with them to help in the cultivation, Presidents of big manufacturing concerns and banks have led the way and their men have followed into the garden patch.

 If it had not been for the readiness with which these home food producers everywhere jumped into the garden trenches" the food situation in this country and for the Allies probably would have been. extremely critical.

 U k rine Corps Officers Training Camp at Quantico, Va., if he is lucky enough to be permitted to enter, may find the way completely blocked by Marines practicing the by-no-means gentle art of bayonetting the Hun. A lieutenant instructor goes from one pair of students to the next, criticizing their form" in bayonet boxing. More snap!" is his continued exhortation.
 Such a demand hardly seems req sonable, for these men, hard, husky happy and fit, lunge nightly at all angles to drive their bayonets through small rings held at different points in the air. With the same speed and zeal that would be expected of them in action, they parry and thrust as though the Kaiser himself were the objective. Besides their unwavering "pep," they show easy confidence, the confidence born only of skill and long practice.
 These men are just getting the finer points of hand-to-hand fighting and other phases or overseas warfare, TOT before Marines can attend the off cers' training camp they must go through rigorous recruit training, GOV ering about twelve weeks, or it's equiv alent.
 From the officer directing the practice come such bits of advice as:
 "En garde!. !........ Get that hand up high when you advance with your left foot!. You don't have to put your bayonet through more than four or six inches. That's enough! ....... Don't take too big lunge. It throws you off your feet. !........ In the English system, balance is the big iten!. ......."
