18TH REGIMENT u. S.
MARINES REPORTED
ARRIVED IN FRANCE

With their reglmental song, "On-
ward Christian Soldiers" the 18th
Regiment of United States Marines
has arrived in France. Word of their
arrival reached the Navy Department
in cablegram on Thursday.
In connection with it's departure, the
number "13" played an important part.
The regiment left the overseas depot
at Quantico, Va, on Friday, Septem-
Der IS, with many of the men using
the number as 4 lucky omen. Num-
bers of them shook hands with each
other - times, said goodbye to COM
rades 13 times, and sang J3 songs on
their departure. One marine made an
effort to take13 black cats but was
unable to carry out his ambition.
Word of their arrival in France came
10 DAYS after their departure, on a
date twice 10, September 26.
The Thirteenth Regiment is rated as
one of the crack units of the Marine
Corps. A record of efficiency was az
tanned nv it in craftsmanship shortly
before leaving Quantico. OF the en-
tire regiment consisting of $3.50 Off
GERS and enlisted men, 1858 or 95 per
cent now hold the right to medals
won on the rifle range. This is one
of the nearest percentages that ever
has be N made to perfect marks
manship, sharpshooter, and expert
rifieman personnel.
Theoretical perfection in shooting
calls for one-seventh of a given unit
to qauilfy as expert riflemen, two-sev-
enths TO qualify as marksmen. This
equation held good almost to the man
throughout the 95 per cent of the
Thirteenth Regiment of Marines. OF
the total of 1858 who qualified, sos
expert riflemen's medals, 951 qualified
as sha-pshooters and 2,196 as marks
men.
Nor were the members of the Thir-
teenth chosen for their shooting abil-
ity. The personnel consists of the u.s.
ual material OF Marine regiment and
their qualification is a testimonial to
the excellent training that is being
given he men, combined with the nat
ural intelligence of the Marine re-
oruit.

in the percentage of women employed

GEO. STOUT MAKES EAT
ING HOUSES CLEAN UP

The Lansing State Journal recently
carried q news item which will be OF
interest to Banncr-News readers be-
cause Of the fact that it tells Of the
efficiency of former Bedding man,
George Stout, for many years fore
man in the red mill. The article
Is as follows:
Three inspections of places serv-
ing food were made this morning and
three orders issued for cleanups. I'm
less the places are put in "A clean and
sanitary condition before re-inspee-
ton after 10 days, prosecutions will
be inaugurated by the state food and
dairy department.
'sThis Is a summary of themorn-
ing's work of Inspectors Geo. Stout
and Geo. Johnson of the state food
and dairy department.
THE first three places to be visited
in the city and subsequently receiving
the order to clean up were the Hotel
Downey, Little Hudson Cafe and Hans
Machus bakery and restaurant. In
spections are being continued this af-
ternoon.
1.-THE restaurants in Lansing aroin
bad condition if the places we were
in tn morning are taken as an indi-
cation, said Inspector George Stout.
The places ranged from one of the
leading hotels to one of the smaller
lunch rooms. Conditions were bad,
very bad. If sickness is to be pre-
vented and food made safe. there must
be a clean up.
Cleanliness to the inspectors OF
the state department leaves no shade
of its full meaning in doubt. Except
in few points. the three places visit
ed this morning were clean to the
first glance. But microbes don't
pick the ,easily-clean places as their
hiding places, said Mr.. Stout They
get in the wide, dirt-filled cracks in
the floors and tables, in the jagged
holes left by the knife on the meat
blocks, back of the ranges and under
the sinks and in the corners
"These were the places he went af :
ter in his inspections. Dirt was
caked deep in the inaccessible places.
Running pencil along the crack OF
a mopboard or in the corners under
sinks, great layers of dirt and grease
were forced out. Bad, bad the in
spectors would murmur and make
notes on official looking pads.
