 1000 MEN 4 DAY
Great Aviation Center Is Busiest
 Spot in Texas

San Antonio, Texas, March b. Aviation recruits have been arriving at the Camp Kelly aviation field late ir at the rate of 1000 a day to fill the places of men who already have t,a1ifed for the flyina and mechani- cal needs of the avlaticn service and been advanced further toward the front. As fast as tho mon arrive they are organized into squadrons
New Britain herald., 1918-03-15

and their preparation for overseas service is rushed rapidly.
 The recruits come from widely sep Srated places, but most of them are from Colum bus barracks, Colum bus, Ohio; Jefferson barracks, St. Louis, Mo; Fort Slocun1. New York; Jack son barracks, New Orleans and Fort Logan, near Denver, Colorado.
 Men of all trades are received at ths camp and fitting the right man ir the right place is one of the big I roblems officials have to face, In this section of the signal corps, men Of many trades arc used in training activities and in keeping the flying machines in tip-top condition. Among them are the followins:
 Trades Represented.
 ] Automobile repairers, armorers. harbers, blacksmiths. bricklaYers, 1 huslcrs, boat builders. ca binct mak- CTS, canvas workers. carpenters, chauffcurs, clerks. cooks, copper drill serGcants, electricians, engine apprentices, engine testers. engine re
 palrmen first serSeants, instrum ent 1CEair men. lithogra phers. mechani- clans for airplancs, mess sergeants. 11otal workers, ma gneto repair men, motorcycle riders, motor truck repair men, moulders. packers, stockmen, i,ainterS pattern makers, photogra- rhers plum bers, propeller makers propeller testers, radio operators, tent 1;gsers. saddlers. sailmakers, sergeant i0r 2eants. toolmakcrs, truckmasters, Nu1canizers. acetylene welders and skilled and unskilled laborers.
 One man who rrivod here recently save his trade butter cutter' and said he was one of the best but ter cutters that ever cut butter.
 Another gave his trade as a ham honer." He said he was not much on q trom bone, but he "could make 'em sit up and take notice with a, ham, hone.' A '1amboner" it proved was 6 graduate at packing houses who Was expert in the use of cleavcr,
 Another recruit sad his business was that of cocOanut cracker. His DllsinesS had been to drive a sharp instrument into the eve of a cocoa nut and pour out the milk. after .,1lich he would crack the nut and remove the meat. Still another gave his occupation as a whistle blower" He came from the lumber district of the northwest where nc gave the sig rals for releasing logs in the stream.
 Camp Kelly is facing a shortage of tent material and as q result many men are not being sent direct to the camp upon their arrival but are housed here until room is made for them. To take care of all recruits, it would be necessary to house nine men in a tent. The surgeon general, would not permit more than five men io be assigned to one tent.
 Ayia tion instruction is pro bably the most important instruction given to recruits in any branch of service training in Texas. Now mechanics arrive at the various camps almost weekly. It is said q good supply of liberty motors is being sent to Texas.
