BARRELS AS "HORSES"
Wooden Dummies to Be Used to Train

Wooden Dummies to Be Used to Train
Soldiers.
I Wooden horses in the shape OF
abandoned barrels may be used for the
training of recruits In the new Nation1
al army.
! Gen. @. p. Summerall has just re'
turned from a trip of observation In
England and says wooden horses con
structed in this way have been used to
a great extent in training British re,
cruits for mounted batteries at the
training camps. General Summerall
says:
1T has been found that recruit will
learn the proper method Of standing
to horse, holding the reins, mounting,
dismounting and executing many of
the mounted exercises as well with
wooden horses as with real animals,
The wooden horses have the advan-
tage of not intimidating the recruit,
lof saving horses much rough handling
about the mouth and enabling them to
be utilized for more advanced instruc
ton with harness and draft and with
equitation.
"It is believed these horses will
prove as advantageous in our train
ing camps as they have done in the
training camps in England"

Non. n.ereezlna Mixture.

Protection against possible freez-
ing of wet materials in a cement
mixer during cold weather is obtained
ut low cost by using an oil-burnlng
heater which can be attached to prac-
tically any mixing machine. Such a
device unquestionably can save money
for contractor by making 1t safe to
operate continuously when the temper
ature is low, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The heater is provided with
a 25-gallon tank which is mounted
above the mixer and is connected by
a pipe with a burner situated at the
opening in the side Of the mixing drum
compressed air, obtained either from
hand pump or a compressor, is used to
vaporize the oil and in this way a
flame is forced into the interior of
the drum, keeping the materials there
thoroughly warm.

How and when khat came into the

There is a tradition among the wise

concerning peace while he is absent
from Paris. He has decided to visit
Italy, England and Belgium, and while
in those countries he will adhere to

Extracts from Richard V. Oulahan's
Paris dispatch referring to the Presi'
dents aims have been cabled here by
the Morning Post and Daily Chronicle
correspondents in America. They
have been read with keen appreciation
in quarters where it was believed some
unnecessary uneasiness had been
created by earlier statements as to
the Presidents intentions from less re.
sponsible quarters, extensively repro.
duced in the British press.
The Evening Standard says:
"From an American diplomatic
source I learn there is no reason to
fear there will be any serious diff.
Guilty between President Wilson and
the Allies in the application of his
principles at the peace table. Mr.. Will
son, on questions of PREPARATION and
freedom of the SEAS, has changed his
standpoint considerably since he laid
down his, original line of policy, and
the result of the congressional election
and subsequent Republican statements
of policy have not been without effect
