BOYS TO RAISE
100000 FOR SOLDIERS

One hundred thousand American
boys throughout the United States
have gone to work at odd jobs to earn
q million dollars to help the Y.,M. C.
A. pay for some extra comforts for
American soldiers and sailors at home
and overseas.
Ali of the boys are in their teens.
Each of them has pledged to work un-
til he has earned ct least $40. They
will accept any honorable work.
Their task means some aching backs,
tired bodies and personal sacrifices,
but they are determined to "see Il
through"
The gameness of the youngsters Il
illustrated by the case Of Samuel Bril-
emit, fourteen-year-old Texan. For
several weeks he tried in vain to get
employment In his home town to earn
his pledged $40. Az n. C. A. Sec
rotary heard Of job Of milking two
cows at $3.50 O'Clock every morning.
Samuel BRENT had never MIXED O
cow I'm his life, and $3.50 AN. was the
middle OF the night to him, but he
took the job and got away with it In
fine style. He has earned considera-
BILE more than his promised $40. This
same spirit Is being shown by boys
throughout the country, and the prob
abilities are that they will earn more
like two million dollars than one.

Ancient Greeks Practiced Camouflage
When They Sent s'Loaded' Horse To Troy

American soldiers wear hoods and
cloaks Of the color Of the earth and
streak their faces with grease paint.
Green and brown goggles are worn to
prevent the whites OF the soldiers
eyes from showing.
Near Amiens French troops had to
use an open road three miles in
length. There was no other way to
their objective point. German avia-
tors would have seen them on the
open road and the poilus would have
been shelled. At night stretch of
canvas three miles In length and
painted to represent an open road,
was propped up over the entire high
way and under this canopy the sol
diers marched nearer to the German
lines.
A fake line Of trenches was painted
by French artists and placed behind
the real bitches occupied by the pol
LUIS. The Germans shelled the fake
trenches and then dashed toward
them to catch the French soldiers in
their dugouts. En- route to the fake
trenches, however, the Huns suddenly
and Unexpectedly encountered the
French soldiers In the real trenches
and were annihilated.
The Germans make diabOlical use
of camoufage. After an engagement
they shell Red Cross workers attempt

soldiers. At night the Germans at
tach high explosive bombs to the bod
les. When French soldiers creep up
under cover Of darkness to recover
the bodies, the bombs are exploded by
the lifting Of the arms or legs Of the
fallen poilus and the Fescuing party
is blown to atoms.

no means new.
Camoufage is as old as the fighting
instinct. One Of the earliest and most
notable instances of the employment
of camoufage to fool the enemy was
when the Greeks sent that huge wood

Lieut.. H. Ledyard Towle, Of the
Seventy-first Infantry, New York Ma

first camouflage school to be opened
In the United States, tells OF the fol-
lowing remarkable cases Of camou-
flage in the present war:
French troops establish listening
posts and lookouts In No Mans Land
by digging tunnels from their own
trenches out to dead body lying on
the field and attaching a periscope
to the boot Of the fallen soldier.

"JaWbOne"

Older soldiers take issue with .
man who signed himself ''Old Sol

tempting to explain tho origin OF
the use Of the word ''jawbone'' for
credit in the Army.
According to the ''Old Soldiers"
version, "iawbono'' originated
about twenty years ago I'm Manila,
where q Chinese storekeeper. who
exhibited q sign bearing the Span
ish word, ''jab6n," meaning soap,
extended credit to American sol
diers. The soldiers, no says,
thought ''jab6n'' was the China
mans name. When they got mer-
chandise from him ON credit they
referred to the deal as getting It
ION jab6n," which they miSpro-
nOunced as ''jawbone."
Sounds interesting, bat 1T does
mot stack mp with the stories OF
Civil War veterans who tell the fol-
lowing version:
Outside the camps during the
War Between the States there were
suffers who sold all the articles
now found at regimental canteenS,
and few that are mot found there.
When soldiers did mot have the
money with which to pay for their
purchases they said: 9TH square
this with you ON pay day" In
other words they worked their
"jawbones'' to talk and ''stand orr
the suffers. The word ''jawb0ne"
has been used In the Army IS slang
for credit or ION tick" since the
Civil War.

others stiIl more benighted believe
It was coined by the men now TN
