Uniforms of United States Sailors !
Have Long and Interesting History

The seafaring man is conservative
by nature, and in spite of the great
chances that have come about since
wood and sails gave place to steam
and iron. many old customs and ira
ditions have left their trace on the
uniforms OF American sailors of the
present day. The wide, flaring trous-
ers suggest a waste of material when
seen on a city street, but they are
really the most practical shape for
duty on shipboard. Because of the
looseness they may be rolled up snug
ly to the knee when the sailor is holy
stoning the decks. and the flare also
prevents them from binding at the
knee when the bluejacket is climbing
the shrouds. Another important ad-
vantage of the loeseness Is that, COM
bined with the arrangement OF the
buttons on the side. the trousers may
be easily slipped OF In, the water.
The thirteen buttons across the top
of the trousers are said to represent
the thirteen original states.

Finally, we may reflect with
the greatest satisfaction on one
phase of tolerance that has grown
out of this war. That is found in
the splendid comradeship. not
only between the allies, fighting
together for freedom, but be-
tween the men Of different re-
ligions. The chaplains Of the
Roman Catholic and the Protes-
tant religions minister to the dy-
ing men, forgetting the differ
cnccs of crccds made by man,
and laboring in the splendid spir-
it of the religion of Jesus Christ.

the beginning of new and better
things for them.

The address of DR.. Van Hise
may have been somewhat de-
pressing to those of us who are
over optimistic, but it was sane,
we'll considered and acted as a
very necessary awakening to the
seriousness of this war. The con-
.cluSion of DR., Van Hisc was OBJ
vious to all who have a correct
understanding of conditions. The
German successes in Russia mean
that we have a big Job on our
hands, much more of a job than
We anticipated six months ago.
We will win, because the balance
is heavily in our favor in a war
Of endurance, but we must moi
be deludod into thinking that Ger
many will be whipped in any
other way than that Of massing
our resources to the limit and
brushing the last ounce of Ger
man resistance.

Contrasts
Sunlight and Shadow
Among Men at Front.

l paused in one place and bent In
my saddle to shake the hand OF
brother officer of the old 18th Nova
Scotia Highlanders. We had been to-
gether at the very start and felt
camaraderie not known in later units
OF swifter changing personnel.
| had heard OF dread presentments
in France, but never did l encounter
n more remarkable case than that of
my brother officer. He had been on
the line for nearly two years, and was
noted for his sangfroid. But that night
his hand trembled and he was ashen
pale. He tried to smile at some pleas
antry Of mine, but his face was over
cast by a cloud Of sickening appre-
hension.
"By-bye. old man, my time has
come he said huskily in parting.
Nonsense" I answered. They have
not made a bullet that can hit you
yet"
But l watched him move of as one
who has received his death warrant
Many time he had passed unscathed,
where 1t had seemed that scarce a
blade Of grass could live. thought of
him as one who lived a charmed life
For such a one to lose heart seemed
direst tragedy.
| Two hours later. in leading his COM
pany across a field, his head was blown
off his body.
| On leaving my pal of the old 18th,
felt overwhelmed by IA wave Of sad
ness that had been rising within me all
day. This was the end of a bitter,
!
his courage through weeks and months
of such calamity?
| With brooding sadness, l pulled my
horse up at the cross roads, to let a
long column of motor lorries pass
While paused thus in moody silence
heard from up the road the sound
of singing. A small squad Of men were
coming out of the trenches, and. true
TO convention, they were singing as
they came.
"Who are you?" l asked. as they
lpassed. thinking that they were some
lcyclist company, or fatigue party, tina,

trenches.

proud reply, and then ! heard then
launch off again into another song.
l had seen that same regiment, ther
nearly a thousand strong, pass dowr
the road towards Spres not less than
week before. l remembered how l wa.
thrilled as I thought of their fightins

TOMORROW'S ELECTION.

Our voting citizens should not
fail to get out in full force at the
PRIMARY election tomorrow. To
vote is duty Of citizenship and
The voter who fails to perform
that duty should be deprived Of
the privileges that go with it.
The franchise carries with it an
obligation that must not be ig-
norcd, if we are to have good
government.
There are to be but two candi-
dates for mayor at the municipal
election, Mayor Wilkinson, who
stands for reelection, and DR.. An
derson. There is, therefore, no
choice between them at the pri-
maries. On the other hand there
are four candidates for commits
sioner of public safety, an office
that, in these times is quite as
important as the mayoralty.
The Muscular has done its
best to furnish to the citizens all
necessary information that con-
Germs the qualifications Of these
contestants. While we. have cx-
pressed the belief that the in
tercsts of the community would
not suffer seriously in the choice
of any one of them, it. is manifest
that one of these candidates must
be supcriornto the others. 1T is
for the voters to determine which
candidate that may be.
| Our own view is that the mex,
commissioner of public safety
should be the one most depend
able for absolute independence
the kind of courage that may b,
most needed in an emergency
such as we may not forsec clear,
ly at This time, one who is homes
to the core and will administer
the duties of his office withou
regard for any clique and be re
Isponsible to the people alone fo
the safety of lives and propert,
in this city.
Between now and the opening
: of the polls, give much though
; to this matter so that either o
| the two candidates to be chosel
for the final race will be men bes
: fitted for the job.

Eat it, I say. Hoover will git you

The second command and warning
came from a. Missoula resident that
was at least four years old. The Of
fender was about the same age. He
had bitten a piece out Of an oatmeal
cookie and had to eat it if he choked.
The culprit quietly laid the half eaten
cookie upon the table and his CONF
mander gave him a disguested look
and left the kitchen.
