Shortage Of Tent Material
Interferes Some With
Receiving New Men.

San Antonio, Tex, March 15.-Avi-
alton recruits have been arriving at
the Camp Kelly aviation field lately
at the rate of 1000 a day to fill the
places of men who already have quail
flied for the flying and mechanical
needs of the aviation service and been
advanced further toward the front.
As fast as the men arrive they are
organized into squadrons and their
rushed rapidly.
The recruits come from widely sep
arated places, but most of them are
from Columbus barracks, Columbus,
o.; jefferson barracks, St Louis, Mo-;
Fort SIocum, n. Y; Jackson barracks,
New Orleans, and Fort Logan, near
Denver, Colo.
Men of all trades are received at
this camp and fitting the right man
in the right place is one Of the big
problems officials have TO face In
this section of the signal corps men
Of many trades are used in training
activities and in keeping the flying
machines in tiptop condition
sButter Cutters and "HambonerS."
One man who arrived here recently
gave his trade as a butter cutter
and SAID he was one OF the pest DuIler
cutters that ever cut butter.
Another gave his trade as a ''ham
boner." He said he was not much on
a trombone, but he could make EN-
sit up and take notice with a ham,
bone" a "hamboner," it proved, was
a graduate at packing houses who
was expert in the use of a cleaver.
Another recruit said his business
was that of a cocoanut cracker. His
business had been to drive a sharp in
strument into the eye of a cocoanut
and pour out the milk, after which
he would crack the nut and remove
the meat. Still another gave his oc-
cupation as a whistle blower" He
came from the lumbe district of the
northwest, where he gave the signals
for releasing logs in the stream.
Short on Tent Material
Camp Kelly is facing a shortage of
tent material and as a result many
men are not being sent direct to the
camp after their arrival, but was
housed here until room is made for
them. To take care OF all recruits,
it would be necessary to house nine
men in a tent. The surgeon general
would not permit more than five men
to be assigned to one tent
