.BRATN-DRILL
new ORDER IN
!. BRITISH ARMY
DR.
Purpose To Teach Soldiers
I. TO Concentrate Minds
r. And Think Quickly
fRv Associated Press.O

London, JIuy 1.-American soldiers,
who prize mental as we'll as physical
efficiency, are showing much interest
Ifn a brain drill" recently introduced
into the British army. It's purpose Is
to teach the British soldier to think
quickly and to concentrate his mind
on what he is doing.
An officer lines up a company and,
as a preliminary to the brain drill,
puts the men through some simple
CalistheniCs.
Now" he explains when I say
DO this you'll do it; btu IL say DO
that you won't do It," He carefully
illustrates the motions not to be done.
Ready! DO this, do this. do this"
The men obey. Suddenly his arms
shoot down by his side. DO that,
he commands Uuthinkingly, half
the men fall into the trap he has set.
Amid the laughter of the rest, they
are ordered to- fall out and stand
aside.
When all except two or three have
been eliminated, the game is changed.
The men are formed into two lines
facing each other and about six yards
apart. A cap is tossed on the ground
midway between the lines, and then
the men in couples, one from each
line walk slowly up to it and try to
snatch it before the other can tOuch
him. If, while the cap is held by the
snatcher. the other manages to put
his finger on him before he can jump
away. the cap must be dropped and
the contest renewed. At last one
whisks the cap away and is Off.
Grows and Cranes" is another
feature Of the drill. Again the men
are lined up about ten yards apart
the officer standing between.
Those on my left" the officer
says, ARE cranes and those on my
right are crows. If l shout crows
J the cranes will dash off and the
crows will chase them. But if | shout
/ cranes, the crows will dash off and
the cranes will chase them. Now
are you ready2"
Then for nearly minute he stands,
giving an imitation of an automobile |
engine running free at full speed. |
'"G-r-r-r-r-r-r." Both lines stand |
tense and eager, awaiting the word.
''Crowsl" he enunciates at last,
Half the crows bolt instead Of
dashing after the cranes. Inattention |
again. However, the quick witted |
among the crows were after the |
cranes in a jump.
This is all to teach you to act on
the spur of the moment" the officer
tells the men. 1T may be case of
+ life or death whether you or the Ger
man moves first. You may be the
quick or you may be the dead"
Painting, the men march off. They
like the brain drill.

WILD OPENING
IN CORN MARKET

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Record breaking
high temperatures and scorching
winds throughout the west and south
west, together with failure of eN-
pected rains led to q wild opening to-
day in the corn market. Rushes to
buy forced prices to make violent
jumps. Owing to the imminent peril
Of widespread severe crop damage
even the best OF war news was tenn
porarily ignored as a market factor;
Opening quotations, which ranged
TENDER $I.59 to $i.6lh ana October
$3.50 to $1.61, were followed by con-
tinued strength and in some cases by
additional gains.
Oats went soaring with corn. Big
receipts here seemed to have but lit
tie effect as an offset. After opening
unchanged to 2B cents higher. the
market scored further upturns.
Pigs were neglected. The market
hardened a little in sympathy with
the advance of grain.

 FUR GOVERNMENT

A. E. Culbertson, distributor for the Moreland truck in Arizona, has just re- turned from Globe, where he sold two one-ton trucks, specially made for the mail service. The purchasers are Val entine and See, who hold the mail con- tract between Globe and Payson. The road between these two communities is through the mountains and over some very rough country. Trucks cap- able of hard service were required for the purpose
 Besides the steel cratings for first class mail, the trucks are equipped e-r carrying six passengers and have at tached the old stage coach end gate and straps for holding the parcel post matter.
 The trucks will be shipped from the factory to Phoenix and then to Globe. Mr. Culbertson stated that the most important requirement of a truck trav- cling through the mountains between Globe and Payson is being able to carry a load and at the same tints make the grades and stand the tre- mendous strain of rough roads. In choosing the Moreland, Valentine and See made very exhaustive tests of it's qualities of endurance.
