HOUSING IS
NOW Up TO HOUSE

Whether the work on the Union
station plaza housing project is to be
stopped Immediately and the con-
struction of housing projects gener-
ally which are not yet T5 per cent
'omnleted is to be halted, is up TO
the House.
The Senate sent to the House today
he resolution urged by Senator Reed
calculated to bring the housing work
20 quick stop. After long debate
the Senate adopted the resolution.
senator Robinson Objects
1t was put through in spite of ar
son OF Arkansas. who believed the
work on the plaza project should be
finished and the dormitories opened to
Government workers. Senator Rob-
inson said he was much impressed
with a report compiled by Alice H.
Grady, assistant director OF the Blu
reau of War Risk Insurance. That
report showed hundreds OF girls were
living in unsanitary and uncomfort-
able surroundings for which extor-
tionate sums are charged by rent
prof1teers. The report says the War
Risk Bureau probably will retain 1000
employees permanently. The Grady
report showed that over 5000 appli-
cations had been filed for rooms in
the Gormitories
Scores Housing CorporatIoR.
Senator Norris tried to have the
resolution amended SO as to eliminate
all reference to projects in Washing
ton but failed. The Norris motion
would have allowed the completion of
the Union Station plaza project.
In the course OF the discussion. the
housing corporation came in for
sharp scoring by Senator Reed, and
by Senator Lenroot. Senator Lenroot
told what the testimony showed as to
the profits of the George A. Fuller
Company of New York. which has the
contract for the plaza project. One
item mentioned by Senator Lenroot
was rental of 81 day charged the
Government by the Fuller Company
for dirt scrapers which the Senator
said were worth only So apiece.

e1es we are taken for little cross
country ride at a gallOp, Say, but
that's some sport. We form in col
umn of fours and the officer leads
through the cactus, sage brush,
etc. And the sand is so thick you
can't see anything on the ground
ahead of you. You just follow the
four in front Sometimes the horse
won't see a bush or a hole until he
is nearly on top Of it; and when he
sees ii it's too late to go around,
and up in the air he goes and over
it You won't see it at all your
self, and when your horse jumps
you sure do get one jolt. its best
to stay on, because there's a bunch
of four behind you and they are
liable not to miss you.
Sometimes the officer lines us
up in single rank, one long row.
side by side, you know, and takes
us around that way. If you are
near one of the ends you sure do
ter guide and he must follow the
officer and everybody must keep on
line with him. The officer turns
from left to right, and you know
the boys on the end have to do
some tearing to keep up with that
center guide, because they must
travel just about twice as far. And
don't think our horses can't fly. It's
Just like sitting in a nice big rock
er; only, of course, it is lots more
fun. when you're going about so
miles an hour. We quit at Il. groom
until IL, and then are off until LAS.
Then we drill on foot during the
afternoon.
This last week we had rife prac-
tice. It is some sport banging away
with those rifles. I managed to
make first class marksman, but I'm
going to do lots better than that the
next time. as I just began to know
my gun when we stopped"

before he gets to the hurdles, and
then all of sudden he'll decide to
jump when about twenty feet away.
and you sure got TO clamp your
legs on him or he'll go on over and
leave you sitting there in the air
This week we're going to have
to take off our shirts while going
over them. When we do that we
viii have to take our shoes off. And
then our pants. too. Say, won t
that be ticklish undressing? Be-
sides all that kind of work. we have
our regular troop drill, just about
the same as dismounted. We also
have such stuff as dismounting from
& gallop while in column formation
and forming in front to fight on
foot and coupling head and tail so
the horses can't go anywhere but
around and around, so everybody
can fight on foot and not worry
about the horses getting away. The
dismounting from a galIop sure is
great In every set of four the No
and 3 men stay mounted and hold
No l and 4 horses while they tear
out to fight the Germans on foot
And the fellows who dismount sure
have some narrow escapes from be-
ing kicked in the mugs or run over.
The dust is so thick sometimes you
can't see the horses six feet in front
OF you, and when the lieutenant
blows his whistle to fight on foot,
action front. the idea is to get off
that horse in no time and beat it
for the place we are to form ranks.
GOlly, but a fellow feels funny
scrambling for the front through
the dust and not knowing whether
he's going to run into a horse in
front of him or whether onesin back
is going to run into him If you
happen to fall while jumping off,
you might just as well roll over on
your belly and let them make
parade ground of your back. It's
best to be awake, an right. For

With Islanders
In the Service
How Cavalry Trains

Bruce LOBBY, formerly of The
Argus composing room force. tells
about cavalry training as it is be
ing given at Chahita, \. NJ, in d
letter To his former associates. He
says:
Well, I'm away from jefferson
Barracks now and don't gallop
around the mess hall any more
Don't O d. X. like me any more?
l would have laughed at that squib
If 1t had been on anyone but myself
But since 7 was the fall guy it
didn't sound so funny to me I've
been here little over month now
and l sure am doing a bit of gal
Looping a horse, l mean. We've
been drilling mounted for about
three weeks now, and it's great
stuff, too Up until then we drilled
on foot all day long. Now we drill
mounted in the mornings and dis
mounted in the afternoons. The
cavalry is certainly a great branch
of the service and like it better
every day I think there is just
about five times as much to it as
any other branch. We must do ev-
erything an infantryman does, be
sides all the horseback dope
We go out for drill at s o'clock,
and the first hour we have different
exercises mounted, such as lean
ing from side to side, leaning back
and touching the horse with our
heads, patting the horse on the
knees, and all such stuff as that
We do it at a walk, trOt. gallop, and
with and without stirrups. And
then we begin the nice part Some
times we must cross the stirrups
in front of the saddle so they are
right on the horses neck, and then
stand up in them and go tearing
around the bull ring. It's lots of
fun, but it's a long ways to fall if
one gets oveF-baIanced. Then we
must dismount and mount at a
walk, trot and gallop. That's some
sport, too. especially at a gallOp.
You grab the saddle with one hand
and the horses name with the 9th
err. Then you flip off, hit the ground
and flip back up again The hard
est part is Tipping back up again.
And you've got to get back up there,
too, or about thirty guys in back of
you will climb right over the top
OF you. The most fun of all, though,
is going over the hurdles. There
are about six of them in a row and
a big hole right on the other side
of the last one We all line up and
take them one at a time. The nice
part of it is you can't take the stir
rups and you have got to fold your
arms while going over. Nearly |
every day six or eight fellows tum- |
BILE off their nags. but I've been |
lucky enough not to fall off so far I
