ENFIELD RIFLES FOR ALL
NEEDS ARE ON THE WAY
Marksmen Making Fine Scores
With Modified Weapon on
Meade Ranges.
No. Fl

The new modified Enfield rifles are
ARRIVING in camp in sufficient number to
supply every man within few weeks.
The output Of the factories in this coun.
try has now reached the point where as
many as 100000 are shipped to arsenals
every month, and surplus may soon
enable every man to be supplied with
several to meet the demands Of actual
service.
A special report from Secretary Baker
made two weeks ago showed that there
had then been issued 1890 of the new
rifles at this camp. Thousands more
have arrived since then. The Enhe1ds
have come in faster than they were
actually needed for target practice.
The artillerymen have done well with
the rifles and the engineers have also
proved themselves quick to learn. The
Iinfantrymen hope, of course. to excel
at their chief weapon. Fine records
have been made by the student officers.
AS to the merits Of the riheC these
have been noted by the expert ride
shots. Lieut.. Raffray OF the French
army, instructor nc the school for train
ing officers, hit 40 bullseyes out OF 50
shots at 100 yards. and he gaid the gun

GO ABOUT PICKING FLAWS.
Certain "Critics" and Their Methods
Described by Gen. Kuhn.

Some critics in our country are so I'M
fair and unreasonable that they go about
the great big things we have done. Such
while they begrudge a word Of praise for
the great ibg things ew haev done. Such
! critics existed in Washington's day and
they tried to impede this country's fight
for liberty. Such critics exist at all times
and in all countries. We can't seem TO
get rid Of them. They are like fieas on
dog"
That is how Maj Gen. Joseph E. Kuhn
commander of this camp paid his re-
spects to some of the fault finders in this
country in speech he delivered. at the
washington birthday celebration held in
the main Knights of Columbus Hall. Be-
sides Gen. Kuhn, John Burke, treasurer
of the United States, and Peter J. Camp
bell, president Of the Maryland state SEN
ate, were speakers.
It was while Gen. Kuhn was describing
a trip to the battlefield Of Valley Forge
that he referred to the unfair critics.

KELLOGG WINS INDIAN.
Meade Entertainers Early Life
With Tribe Appeals to Private Swan.

Charles Kellogg, the naturalist and trav-
eler, who has been entertaining the men
at Meade lately. has one great admirer
here. He is an Indian named Charles
Swan, who lived on the Sioux reservation
in Oklahoma before ne entered the service,
and is now a member Of Company L, 314th
Regiment.
Swan has been to see every performance
given by Mr.. Kellogg at the various ''Y"
hutS.
The reason is this: The naturalist told
the soldiers he was raised from infancy
by the Digger Indians of California and
did not see civilization until he was twelve
years old He learned to, love the woods
and the wonderful things of nature, which
Is the reason why he now spends nine
months out of the twelve living in the
depths of the forest. So much does Mr..
Kellogg admire the Indians that when he
returns from his trips his wife dresses in
Indian costume to welcome him.
Swan has had several enjoyable CONVEX
Stations with Mr.. Kellogg.

Peel YOUR EYES

Motto of Men Of the 31Oth and

"Peel your eyes when the colonel

in both the cloth and 311th F. A.
Sharp, incisive is the way to describe
the look of both Col. Landers and Col.
Briggs and. like good officers. they sell

colonel was led to the other door after
entering, and to prove that 1t was
locked, his escort pointed out the
turned key. "Oh." said the commander,
II saw that before came in the, room"
It might be said also that Col. Briggs
can "see" pretty girl when she passes,
and he is one of the best dancers in
Meade. stts

ter of 20" Wednesday afternoon and
asked for a copy of this weeks Post"
He was told that they were all sold.

once more they man laughed at Army

Best Boxing Match.
About the best boxing seen lately in
"O' Y was the star attraction of the
154th Brigade athletic meet Friday
afternoon, when Joe McGurlk, the feath-
erweight of headquarters. 311th. had a
shade on Russell of Battery E. same
regiment.
It was a count of eight for Russell in
the fourth round. but he stuck it out
for six and finished fairly strong. Lieut..
Richards was referee, and had his
hands full, Joe almost pinning him in
the excitement. Lieut.. Richards and
the 400 spectators had many thrills.
and the boys boxed cleverly and hard
throughout.
Wins Potato Race.
Gault of the 312th won the potato
race, with Christman of the 311th. Sec
ond. several heats being necessary.
Gault was again winner in the 20-yard
dash, his time being 2k seconds, Stew
ard of the 310th being second, and
Reese of the 311th third.
The rescue race was won by Reddish
Of the 31Oth carrying Minor. Snyder
Of the 311th, being second and Zim-
norman of the 312th third.
One of the best spots in the show
was the way the 310th walked away
with the tug o. war, and due credit
must be given to the coach, the other
teams not employing one. The winning
team was made up of Kirwin, Fischer,
Germ and Roberts. beating the 312th in
30 seconds, and the 311th in 4 seconds.
Secretary Hyatt had charge.

After going at the breakneck speed
of 100 miles an hour in White racer
and devoting several years of strenu-
Gus effort to the automobile game,
smashing hisrhealth and nerves, Corp.
Howard Ellis, 18th Cavalry, now in
Meade, has turned to the Army, pre-
pared to face German bullets rather
than try again for auto speed records.
Ellis is just one of about seventy
five men who have just come here

being intended for headquarters work
with the artillery section OF Pershing's

Barney Oldfield is well known to him

The eXpectant mothers physical
comfort should be our first thought,
and all about her should see to it
that her preparation for baby's COM
ing be complete.
There is a most splendid remedy to
prepare women for the greatest time
in their lives, known as Mother S
Friend. 1t is applied to the muscles
of the abdomen, gently rubbed in, and
at once penetrates to relieve strain on
nerves, cords and ligaments 1t
makes the muscles so plant that they
expand easily when baby arrives; the
hours at the time are fewer. and
pain and danger at the crisis is nat
urally avoided.
Mothers Friend enables the mother
to preserve her health and strength.
and she remains a pretty mother by
having avoided discomfort and suf-
fering which more often than other
wise accompanies such an occasion
when nature is unaided. Every
nerve, muscle and tendon is thorough
ly fabricated. Discomfort during the
period is counteracted, and the skin.
after the crisis, is left smooth and
natural.

When Romano Dies
BY DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER.

! 4 Young woman of my acquaintance
| married worthy young man about
three years ago. The husband is very
well-to-do. very generous and very
| much in love with his wife. He has
given her a beautiful home. and every
luxury, and is kindness itself. but the
wife has decided that she does not
love him. and she wants to leave him
and take her baby with her
The husband refuses to let her go.
Therein he is making a great mis-
| take, in my opinion. He should let
her go AMI find out for herself what
the life she longs for so ardently is
INke-what It means to a woman, who
Il has had a fine home, to live in hall
| bedroom and a cheap boarding house,
and who has had a strong man to
stand between her and the world to
know that she has only her own weak
hands with which to fight the wolf
away from the door.
| For surely a woman, who broke her
wedding VOWS for no better reason
| than that she had ceased to consider
her husband a figure of romance,
would not expect him to go on sup
porting such a quitter as she had
| shown herself to be.
1t would do a lot of women who are
| ungratefuI, unappreciative and dis
| gruntled, good to be thrown on their
own resources for a while, and find
out by actual experience what poor,
| incompetent creatures they are, how
utterly unable they are to hold their
own in the fierce battle for bread. and
1 e. ~ l., xrTtWW
They are so used to being thought
| for, to being protected, TO having
their wants supplied by their hus-
| bands, that they need a good hard
| Jolt to wake them up.
| 1t is women like these who have ev-
erything soft, who cultivate imagi-
nary sorrows, who discover that their
| husbands are not their soul mates
| and that some long lanky haired poet
or musician is their real affinity; who
despise their husbands for being sor-
did money makers while they waste
the money the men toll for; who NOR
bidIy gIoat over their disillusion in
finding that their husbands are just
men instead of matinee heroes. and
who make themselves perfectly miser-
able by dissecting their emotions, and
deciding that they no longer love their
| husbands because they are not af-
| fected with thrills and chills every
time they hear their lord and mas
ter's footsteps.
Such nonsense! OF course nobody is
romantically in love after three years
of marriage. OF course no man is a
| godling to woman after she has
! lived with him for three years any
more than she is an angel to him. OF
course. after three years all the illu-
sions that any husband and wife may
have originally entertained about
/ each other are dissipated into thin
air. OF course you can't go on for
| eve.' asking anybody loose ducky
daddle is oo?'
| BY that time husbands and wives
have seen each other unshaven and
unshorn. and in curl papers and wrap
pers. They have seen each othe"
