"S,lnshine Of Your Smile" Terry and
Carter of the Sd Company. Tucker
and Carter of the 8OSth. Ward or the
14th Company and Adams Of the goth
were other headliners. The hggest
hit of the night was the eccentric
dancing Of Burston and Childers from
the 32d Company. They carried out
close order drill and setting-up exer-
ciRes without missing a. step.

THE WHEEL MAY
NOW BEGIN TO TURN!

The oldest corporal, and perhaps
the most important in camp, is Line
han of the newly organized 211th
Field Signal Battalion, up in H block.
The reason is that he commands
forty-five men.
Other corporals may have better
physiques, though not necessarily, or
they may part their hair in the mid
die and walk with a swayback stride,
but when 1t comes to giving orders
to more than two score first-class
pEivates there is none here but Line
han. Fact Is, his authority Is nearly
that of second lieutenant. but his
lodgings think he's regular fellow.
Now, 1T should be known also that
this fortunate boy comes from Bos-
ton, or Bosting. or Baston, with a
short ''a.'' and that's pretty near to
way down east. This bunch with
Linehan all came from that city and
vicinity and every last one is a grad
uate of the Signal School of the Uni
versity of Vermont.
Also. every one in the unit thinks
Meade is a warm place.
This battalion is going to be form
ally started here shortly. and it
would not be surprising to find every
one of these boys wearing chevrons.
They will be commanded by Maj.
Murray B. Dilley of Burlington, VT,
who was captain before the boys
left the school near Lake Champaign.
There is an average held by the
boys Of twenty-One words a minute
on the telegraph, some going as high
as thirty-four.
The lads are proud of Hodgson of
Brookline, who has about fourteen
cousins in the British army, all lucky
enough not to be shot in the years
that they have been fighting. He has
an uncle in England who serves daily,
at eighty-two years, in a munition
factory.
The boys have one of the cleverest
quartets in camp, and recently they
gave a concert in Baltimore at the
Y. w. C. A., marking their debut In
this part of the country. Earle Bra
man is the pianist, the singers being
Walter Sargent, first bass; Tommy
Atkins, second bass; Paul K. Whita-
ker, first tenor, and Charles Budden,
second tenor.
Thus it will be seen that this cor
poraPs squad has talent. That 1t
has pep will be apparent to every
body who knows anything about Boss
ton or who has seen them In action

Lapadura Assists. in Camp. Meade
Entertainments.

William Lapadura, famous acrobat
from the New York Hippodrome, came
into camp with the right idea. When
he is not drilling he is getting up
something to entertain the men. Dur
ing his first week lin camp he ar
ranged vaudeville for the Y, M: c:

was given out Of doors before an au-.

Lapadura made his first appearance
~ an acrobat at the Omaha exposi-

through Mexico with Bells circus and.
has appeared in many of the leading
theaters Of this country. He is now
assisting Mr.. Rochester, dramatic d.

known to commit murder TO secure
the necessary funds. Debts, he says

VERY few STRIKES
A7PREsENT, SAYS
i LABOR OFFICIAL
Secretary Wilson Tells How the
Highest Efficiency May Be
Maintained

PHILADELPHIA, May 9.-Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson has arrayed facts
against the noisy claims of publicity
seekers who insist that the nation is
seething with strikes.
In an address before the American
academy of political and social science,
the cabinet official said that I'VE
have fewer labor strikes at the pres
ent time than at any other period
within my recollection notwithstani-
ing the fact that it is the period of
the year when strikes are usually most
numerous
There is not a solitary strike in the
coal industry, the packing house in
dustry, in the oil industry, the lumber
ing industry, the shipbuilding indus
try, in the steel production, transport
tation, telegraph or telephone systems
OF the country, and only few strikes
of minor Importance in the textile in
dustry, metal trades, munition fact
cries and all other production enter
prises
ITO summarize, the highest effici-
ency can only be obtained by the
proper treatment of the workmen,
the proper planning and management
of the work to be done, the intelligent
mobilizing Of the workmen, efficient
means of training the partly skilled
and unskilled in the work they are to
do, complete provisions for sanitation
and safety, comfortable homes work
Ing day sufficiently short to enable the
worker to return to his work on each
succeeding day fairly refreshed for
the task he has to perform And
more important than all of those is
the spirit of cooperation of the man
.. who believes he is being justly dealt
WITH
Secretary Wilson said the worst
handicap to labor efficiency now is the
heavy turnover in industry caused by
men becoming easily dissatisfied with
Jobs and moving from place to place.
Poor housing accommodations, he said
are at the bottom of much of this
dissatisfaction.
