THE HOME NEWS McCRORY, ARKANSAS
for fear of red tape.


 Clad in blue overalls, the machine gun squad was prac- ticing formation and handling the guns. They laid flat on the ground, dragging the guns from one position to another. Squirming along, the main idea was to expose just as little of your anatomy to the enemy as possible. It looked like a mighty poor job for a warm day, but it was all in a days work and the men seemed to take the dirt and the discom- fort as a matter of course.
 In ye olden times one used to hear often of "snow white chargers" but there is nothing doing in that line these days. The white horse is a drug on the market so far as the army is concerned as he makes too conspicuous a target for the enemy. An effort has been made to dye the white horses 1 1t it was impossible to get a color that would not fade quickly and as a class they are now on the black list.
 Some splendid results are being achieved by the Y. M. c. A. through the six women it is keeping at the Missouri Pacific and Rock Island depots in Little Rock. Three matrons work at each depot in eight hour shifts and look after the women and girls who come to visit the men at Camp Pike, although they are there of course to help all travelling women. Much suffering and real trouble is saved the visit ors through their good work.

CAMP PIKE NOTES

"Gasp calls the officer in charge of the squad. The men knock off their hats, and dig in a hurry for their gas masks which are carried in canvas bag on their chests. The mask fastens with a couple of web bed straps and the soldier in- serts his chin in the mask, pulls the harness over his head with a snap and takes one step forward. Trial after trial we timed them and there were al- ways a number who could make it in less than five sec onds. Most of the masks were on in ten seconds but there would always be some luckless fellow whose fingers were all thumbs to bring down the average. No gas was be- ing used, of course, but the of ficers are seeing that there will be no delay in getting into the masks when that part of the work comes. It would take
 too long to describe one of the masks as to construction but they are said to be the most successful used by any army.
 A colored soldier who had viewed the men in the gOggle eyed gas masks with evident bewilderment, said: Boss, am dat de motor cycilin' bunch ?" When the use of the gas masks was explained to him he got the main idea in hurry.
 What do the boys themsel- yes think of the work the red triangle is doing for them at Camp Pike? Here is what private V. c. Rice, Go. C., 345 Infantry wrote about it: Hast but not least, there is the Y. Nj. c. A. which the boys find to be the next best place to home. Here a soldier may come and sit by the fire to read or write; all stationery being furnished free. You may see good movie or hear a splen- did lecture or concert. On Sunday you may attend a Bible class and hear excellent ser mons by some of our leading preachers. You may also have a chance to study French . severy building has a good French teacher among the sec retaries. You may buy your stamps and mail your letters at these buildings. This service is furnished free to the men and is certainly appreciated"
 One of the hardest problems at the opening of the army
 camps was to get all of the men to participate in the gen. eral athletic activities. Many of the men had never had time or opportunity to do so and it looked childish to them and waste of time. But they are fast learning to enjoy it and one of the sights of the camp

 It is announced that Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of President Wilson, will sing at the Y. M. c A. auditorium at Camp Pike on Monday, April |8. Miss Wilson is touring the army camps of the South un- der the auspices of the Y. M. c. A.
 A few days ago two full regiments of infantry were called out into the woods for a practice manueYer. They marched for several hours and then stopped for their noon- day meal, each man having to prepare his own. Each had a slice or two of bacon, a potato an onion, some bread and while they insisted that it was an improvement on the camp cooks no one remained away from supper to try the experi- ment again. When asked of the hardships of the march there was one big kick from all of them. Cooking in the aluminium mess pans had smoked them up in bad shape and it was no little job to get them ready for Sunday inspec- 5ion next day.
 One local from the Red Tri- angle activity is for the sec retaries to meet the troop trains that pass through the union depot at Little Rock. Two or more of them are there a large part of the time and board the trains, selling the boys stamps, mailing letters for them, giving them paper and envelopes answering ques- tions when possible and ren- dering every possible assist ance. It is seldom that the soldiers are not under the watchful eye of the Y. M. c. A. whether at home or abroad.
 Often there. comes a query as to whether a pass is neces- sary for a visitor to enter Camp i Pike. No pass is needed un- til after dark and one can get in then if with an officer des- pite the lack of an official per init.

Draft Rulings

The question of dependency IS cut
ting very important figure IN the
Selective Service or draft business.
Adiutant General George Mel. Pres
son. the provost marshal Of Name
recently submitted the Following
question to Provost Marshal General
f, H. Crowder:
IN connection with the question OF
dependency the chairman of the hrst
district board asks if it is proper to
take into consideration as a part Of
the income of d registrant sums of
money which are provided by law of
the State for his dependents in case
they enter the service. In Maine the
State provides 81 a week for wife
and $3.50 a week for each child of a
soldier in the service. Some local
boards have taken it into considera-
ton and the district boards propose
to. Is that the proper interpreted
tom"
General Crowder had replied by
wire as follows:
There appears to be no reason why
the provision made by the State for
dependents should not be considered.
New York state makes a similar pro-
vision for all State and municipal en-
ploycs, the city of Philadelphia makes
such a provision for its employees and
in both states local boards consider
the amount available as an item of
income"

Penalty for Selling Vots

Most people have an idea that
there is something wrong about sell
ing ones vote and some even have an
idea there is some kind of a penalty,
but is doubtful if the average man
could tell YOU much about it. The
law docs cover that point and very
specifically and it also provides for
the posting Of copy Of that law in
the various polling places, so that it
would seem to be no excuse for any
ones ignorance of the law.
The law is found in Chapter 7, Sec
ton 81 of the Revised Statutes and
reads as follows:
whoever shall Offer, or promise,
or agree to receive any money or
other valuable consideration for Civ
ing in his vote at any election held
under the provisions of the Constitu-
ton or of this chapter. and shall in
accordance with such ,ffer, promise
or agreement, give in his vote at
such election, shall be fined not more
than one hundred dollars. or i'm
prisoned not more than one wear and
shall be excluded from the right Of
suffrage for term Of ten Years"
Secretary of State Frank W. Ball,
in accordance with the law, has sent
to all polling places copies of the
above. printed on cardboard and suit ]
able for posting. 1t will doubtless be
needed to the letter.
