SOMETHING He WON'T FORGET
Soldiers FooIishness in Using His
Mask Bag for Matt Pouch Nearly
Cost Him His Life.

Don't carry anything in your gas
mask bag that doesn't belong there.
That isn't a general order, but the
fruit Of at least n mans experience.
He had gone over the top on a pa
troll. Somebody smelled gas; on went
the masks. He bit into it, clamped his
nose on tight. and started to breathe.
That is, he tried to. For several ago.
pizing minutes he struggled to get wind
through it, and then he found it was
. false alarm.
Thanking his stars that it hadn't
been a real attack to be endured with
a safety appliance that was as dan
gerous as the German pizen itself, he
went to his lieutenant at the first op-
portunity and told him that the thing
didn't work.
The lieutenant looked Mt il.
whats this?" he asked.
From the slot at the base Of the
t~espirator he drew a postcard that had
stuck there.
"NOw try it," he said.
1t worked. That man isn't using his
mask bag as a mail pouch any more.-

JUNGLE SAM" IDEAL FIGURE
Old Gentleman Happy Blending OF the
Cardinal Virtues Typical Of the y

Samr When the war was over the
army took tids saying to every part
Of the land. and Uncle Sam soon dis
placed Brother Jonathan as the IA
vorite Nickname for our country.
IN picture and phrase, Uncle Sam
is stin, for good or iii, our national
figure. He i%ncarnates the American
character. What can you see in him?
ITO me 1t means a happy blending
of four cardinal virtues which are
typical Of the Observation-Disclosures

Uncle Sam were only shrewd and ener-

ARMY KITCHENS ARE,
CARED FOR CAREFULLY
British Officers Look Closely
After the Welfare of the Men
In Their Commands.

Behind the British Lines in France,
(by mail)-The importance OF the
kitchen department of the army can
not be overrated, for IL men are to
work hard and efficiently they must
be decently fed. For this reason the
kings regulations provide that II IS
the first duty Of every commanding
officer t see that the soldiers meals
are properly and sufficiently provid-
ed 1t Is further ordered that an Of
ficer must INSPECT the kitchens and
cookhouses every day. while the same
officer must visit the barrack rooms
and mess tents during the breakfast,
dinner and super hours to find out IL
there Is any cause for complaint.
The kitchen establishment OF a Brit
ish army camp varies widely hnder
different circumstances. At garrison
centerS in France, the c~ookhouSe is a
large building shared by several units,
and Is under the charge of a sergeant
chef who has ben through a special
course in military cooking. 1t Is his
duty to superintend personally all
cooking done in the regimental cook
house. Each unit, in its turn, has a
chief cook who is responsible for all
the meals of his unit.
In the field, however, the cook
house is a thing Of mushroom growth.
When a unit is on the march the
simplest method Of constructing a tenn
porary kitchen Is TO place a number
OF kettles on the ground in two paral-
lei rows. block the leeward end of the
passage thus formed with another ket-
tie and light a fire in this improvised
trench. As soon as the fire has been
started. n or W rows of kettles "a
De placed on top Of those already in
position.
III the stay at a particular spot Is
likely to be for any appreciabie length
or time. a good field kitchen is i'm
provised by digging a narrow trench
Tor the fires. and placing the camp ket-
Ties above this. Sometime q chimney
Is built OF sods.
For a stay OF three or four days, e
ular field ovens" are constructed. An
arch or sheet iron is erected and on
top or this a layer of clay is piled.
with this oven it is possible to give
the men roast meat for dinner as often
as the joints are forthcoming from the
supply column. Enough bread to feed
a whole battery can be baked in one of
these ovens.

INJURED SOLDIERS TO
BE GIVEN REAL TRAINING

The following is authorized by the
Federal board of Vocational Educa-
ton:
There appears to exist in the minds
of many persons a, misconception Of
| what vocational re~-education is, as ap-
, piled to disabled soldiers and sailors.
The Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation, which is charged with the duty
of re-educating the injured men, Is
constantly receiving communications
from persons who have this, that, or
the other supposed art or craft which
they offer as being just the thing to
teach the wounded soldiers. These
suggestions run all the way from max
ing aircraft out of sealing wax,
making paper flowers n gliding pine
cones to constructing alleged orna-
ments out of putty.
The federal board does not intend
to teach useless things. The educa-
ton to be given. In the main, Will be
in highly specialized occupations which
are good paying, recognized, and manly
callings that have a definite, useful
place in the business world.
There seems to be a misunderstood
ing concerning what o~ccupational the
rapeutics and vocational education are,
OF the part llldt tHSy pay. Inc lot
mer is given to divert the patients
mind, to exercise some particular set
of muscles or a limb, or perhaps mere
ly to relieve the tedium Of GONZALES
cence. These activities have little, If
any, practical value beyond the i'm
mediate purpose they serve, nor are
they intended to. have any other value.
But even now in occupational therapy
the idea ia to give that sort Of training
which will be preliminary to the real
vocational education which is to begin
as soon as the patient Is able to go
further along. IL, for instance, the pa
tient was formerly a sheet metal
worker, and is now debarred from the
use Of physical strength, he is started.
perhaps, as a designer or architectural
expert in cornices, sheet metal n ar
citectural work. His practical know
ledge is thus built upon and focused
in a specially suited to his capabilities.
The patient is furnished with n set OF
instruments, a bed drawing board. and
textbooks. Then he is given able in
struction. The weeks in bed or in the
wheel hair are utilized practically.
When - IS able to go into the work
shops, IAG conYa!escent Is we'll along as
a technician, and ready for further in
tensive training.
So it is with other lines. The busi-
ness Of education is, first of all, com
mon sense and practical. The idea Is
TO turn out thoroughly trained men
for mems jobs at mems pay, despite
any physical handicap which may have
rendered the men useless in their for
mer callings. rf

We had cushy time while at this
school. In fact, to US it was a regular
vacation, and we were very sorry when
one morning the adjutant ordered US
to report at headquarters for trans
portation and rations to return to our
units up the line.
Arriving at our section, the boys
once again rendered US the glad mitt,
but looked askance at US out of the
corners Of their eyes. They could not
conceive, as they expressed it, how a
man could be such blinking idiot as
to join the Suicide club. I was begin
ming to feel sorry that l had become
member of said club, and my life to
me appeared doubly precious.
Now that I was a sure-enough
bomber was praying for peace and
hoping that my services as such would
not be required.
