ARMY EQUlNES RECEIVE BEST
 CARE POSSIBLE

CAMP LEWIS. Tacoma, Wash, April 30 (By Mai) It costs money to buy a horse these days and the government is almost as careful about the welfare of the thousands of steeds supplied to the army through the remount depot at Camp Lewis as it is about the health of the men in the service.
 An elaborate veterinary operating room has been built into which horses with curable ailments are taken for operations. An operating table is used which permits of the placing of a horse in any position desired without injury to the ami nal and the room is kept as clean and sanitary as possible and smells very much like the operating room of general hospital in a large city
 The floors are all of cement and kept thoroughly cleansed so as to prevent any possible Infection The horse is strapped into position with the table top placed in an upright position and then the top is adjusted to any angle desired for the sort of ation the horse is placed in stock where he cannot move enough to hurt himself and as soon as the horse is able, he is turned out into the "convalescent'' ward outside where fresh air and limited exercise soon fit the animal for active service again.
 The veterinary hospital has many wards for different kinds of horse diseases and there is sort of quar- antine for the steeds so that no con tagious disease is allowed to spread
 In the collie ward the corners are all rounded out so that the horse cannot become lodged an corner. When horse or mule has the collie it must be given lots of room. The animal groans and losses about on the ground in agony and unless care is taken in construction of the ward it might injure itself.
 Back of the hospital is sort of fresh air farm. or sanitarium, con sisting of portion of forest fenced off to give the convalescent animals forage, exercise and fresh air. A short time in this lot soon puts the animal into trim so that it can carry a pack or go back into the harness of wagon train.

TANK J0Y-RIDE
 NOISY AFFAIR: LUNGS REQUIRED

BIRMINGHAM. England, April 3o tBy MaiD --Joy-riding in British tank means hanging on for dear l.fe in deafenins roar of machinery while the machine lunbcrs up anG down the. grades, alternately tossing its passengers first one way and described:
 We accepted, with some uepida tion, an invitation 10 make jour ney in the machine. About half dozen of us entered by .he narrow door and were cramped up on the little platform which runs on each side of the machinery. We held on like grim death with our hands. For a few moments everything went we'll Then there was an upward move. ment of the fore part of the tank and in trice We found ourselves with out foothold and were suspended by our hands from the 'hOldfasts which are fixed for the purpose to the roof of the car. We knew we were mounting the steep gradient and were not sorry when we reached the top.
 "The vessel jerked violently as she started on her downward course In the twinkling of an eye we were thrown into the same position as before-only more so-with our legs dangling and our hands gripped in the effort to hold on and prevent being thrown all on a heap. We eventually emerged none the worse for the trip, but with a vivid impress sion of what must be the life of the gallant crews to whom our expert. ence was trifle as compared with theirs in the midst of shot and shell and with their own guns blazing away.
 "The roar of the machinery in the confined space was terrific. The man with the strongest lungs. shout ing in the ear of man of the acut- est hearing could not make syl. lable heard"

 In front of many business houses and in the yards of the residents may be seen piles of sawdust, bark and other refuse from the household, which on the approach of hot wealth CT will soon be an evil-smelling pile. It is in order to overcome this con- dition that it is requested that all such piles be cleaned up as soon as possible. Soon Fairbanks will be visited by many Outside tourists and other travellers. and 1t is for the good of the city that all trash be removed, both from a matter of civic pride and cleanliness.

CANNED THE
 "CHEATERS" TO
 JOIN THE ARMY

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE. April IS (by maiD.- Rigorous eyesight tests await the British army recruit when he reaches France and is put into the musketry school for a final course of training in the use of the rifle.
 To the musketry instruction off cer, his mems eyes are continual problem. Under his guidance. the mems eyes are put to use to which they are quite unaccustomed. For the first time in their lives, prob ably. they have to look at small object with great concentration. A man with good eyes may begin to wonder if they are weak, particu- larly if such possibility is suggested to him. He may begin to think it., simply because his eyes tire very quickly under this unaccustomed work of concentrating on small thing, and so the instructor has to be continually telling men that the eye needs rest because it is doing new work.
 On the other hand, men who were unconscious that their eyes were not normal. and who have passed the oculist's test cards without diff culty, will discover real weak ness. They may have been content all their lives to see thing in the distance little blurred-perhaps not even knowing it was blurred-but when the musketry practice comes and they can no longer be content with the blurred image, they become very conscious of their weakness. The instructor makes many inter- esting discoveries. He comes across odd cases, like that of man who was told he would be put back for a course in order to have his eyes tested for glasses, and who, to the astonishment of the officer. said that he had a pair in his pocket. When asked why he didn't wear them, he replied that they had cost him five dollars and he wasn't going to run any risk of having them broken.
 In the early days of the war. many men who wore glasses dis carded them in the belief that this would enable them to pass the physi- cal examination more easily. Others, for a somewhat similar reason, do their best to conceal their weak eye sight at the musketry school.
 There is seldom any complaint of men who wish to shirk or who try to excuse carelessness in shooting by putting it down to their eyes. The difficulty is all the other way, and so far from men exaggerating any weakness of the eyes. it is the hard. est thing in the world to get them to admit it. It is this reluctance, more than anything else, that the musketry officer has to take into consideration in his study Of his pu- pills.

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES
 T0CO-OPERATE

WASHINGTON, April 15 (by maiD The house merchant marine com. mittee is canvassing the views of the governors of the New England seacoast states and the fishing organ nations of that section regarding an administration bill to prohibit impor. tation of Holsters taken in waters adjacent to but outside the terri. torial waters of Canada during the closed seasons. The bill Is aimed to protect the catch off Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and was ap. proved at meetings held by the American-Canadian Fisheries confer. ence held at Boston, Gloucester Mass, and at St. John, New Bruns wick.
 The merchant marine committee has held hearings on the subject in this city and the other day decided to refer the matter to the governors of New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hamp shire and Maine. who have been ask. ed to ascertain and report the senti ment among the fishermen. Pending that. the committee will defer action on the bill, despite its advocacy by the joint fisheries conference of the United States and its northern neigh bor and by Secretary of Commerce Redfield.
 Chief Justice Hazen, of New Bruns wick, according to Secretary Redfield contends that Canadian fishermen are irritated by the fact that while their laws prohibit them from taking lob sters during the closed season, they have to stand by and watch United States smacks catch the Holsters just outside the Canadian waters and carry them back to the American market.
 In United States waters the fish cries are conducted every day in the year. In some counties of Nova Scotia there is protracted closed season which covers the time when the lobster eggs are matching. The object of the closed-time regulations in Canada is to curtail the catch during that period. Most of the lob. sters caught on the Nova Scotia and Brunswick coasts have to be canned The communities are remote from transportation lines and there are practically no local sales. There is virtually no size limit of Holsters that may be caught for canning. The Holsters are caught principally in shoal water, so that most of the lobster ground is in territorial wa ters, but it is possible to get them as far as twenty miles from shore.
 The closed season in Canada is about half the year. It varies at different coast points but in most cases begins in June or July and continues to November. December or January.
 The Fisheries Commission has ad vised the house committee that lob sters can be caught in water as deep as 250 fathoms, at least, although most of the Holsters caught on the United States and Canadian coasts come from water less than 100 fathoms deep.
