BUTWELL MAY LEAD ,
MEN OVER JUMPS
Famous American Jockey Urged
by Friends as Equitation In
structor for Meade.

Friends Of Jockey Butwell, now
Private Butwell, and first-class as
sistant to Lieut.. Col De F'uniak of the
Depot Brigade. are urging the mill
tary authorities to appoint him rid
ing instructor for Meade.
Now the fancy name for this job is
"cquitation teacher" but Butwell is
not that kind Of person. He thinks
that if man las a job to de in rid
ing he WI. 80 sNter by calling q
Jump a jump. not an ascension: by
terming the breaking of a broncho
busting and not animal pacifca-
tion."
Butwell is so badly battered by his
frequent connection with the ground
in the course of hard racing that he
has been declared unfit for overseas
duty. BY way Of illustration, he has a
broken rib. bad shoulder and part
ly amputated ear Outside of these de-
fects he is physically q pretty good
man, and can still take horse over
six-foot fence without a CULVER

they come back with oh. I forgot.
Then such fellows wonder why a
horse does not obey their commands,
, and the fault Is all their own"
Since Butwell came to Meade he has
moved his family to Baltimore, and he
is not In the habit of missing any
chances to be with, his loved ones. AS
he behaves himself his commanding
officer gives him frequent leaves Of
absence.
When Butwell gets hungry he goes
to the Hostess House and enjoys a
good meal. In fact, there are not
many meals that he eats in the com.
pany mess. He says he has the money
and will not hesitate to spend 1t as
long as he has it.
Butwell is small Of course, in order
to be q regulation Jockey. And it
should be remembered that he is of
the best that America affords. There
are many followers of the turf who
believe that Butwell on a plug" is
better dope than an unknown on q

1t is one of the unfortunate things
connected with the Army service OF
Butwell that he can stoop forward in
the position so necessary for a sue
cessful jockey, but he cannot bend
backward, and therefore cannot take

the physical instructors.

all anxieties, of relatives and friends
who had doubts about the safety of
the journey across the sea are re-

The exact location OF the 10th will
not be revealed for while, but it is
safe to say that It will not see any

Gen. Kuhn is regarded as one of the

In the days before America entered
the war gave him an insight into the
character Of opposition to be expect

He will have with him troops who
came largely from Maryland, District
of Columbia and Pennsylvania These
soldiers are generally of high grade
of intelligence and the quality of
service which they will render will
unquestionably be high.
The 31sth Infantry is almost en-
tirely Baltimoreans; the 314th and

ly from men in the smaller towns of
West Virginia and Pennsylvania; the

chine Gun Battalions contain men
~%from the District and from the states
already named; the 31Oth F. A. is
largely made up of Maryland farmer
boys: the S11th F. A. contains men
Wilkes Barre and Scranton. and the
312th F. A. prided itself on being
principally Philadelphia.
In the 304th Field Signal Battalion
and the 304th Engineers were men
from different parts of the states just
named. All these units are now on
the other side.

Their departure from Meade was
accomplished with very little pub

DEFECTIVE VENTILATION IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Every patron of the public
schools should read the expert
report on ventilation systems in
several Of Duluth Is newer school
buildings.
For reasons which no one need
now be blamed, the ventilation ia
cilities in several Of the newer
buildings are poorly planned and
entirely inadequate to the re.
quirements of the law and the
needs Of the pupils.
Perhaps the prime cause fol-
these deficiencies is due to an ear
nest and honest desire to save
money Secondarily, they are
presumed to be due greatly to a
policy of saving money by leav.

Nothing is so vital to. good
health and mental efficiency as
an ample supply of pure air
Nothing is so harmful to the mu.
cous membranes of the respira-
tory tract as super-heated, ex-
cessively dry air. Colds, catarrh
and even more serious disorders
are directly due to improperly
heated and ventilated school
rooms;

are facts, not theories. They
should be needed. Defects should
be remedied as soon as time and

fail to do so, the people SHOULD

EARTH is ENOUGH.

We men of earth have here the stuff
OF Paradise-we have enough!
We need no other stones to build
The stairs into the Unfulfilled-
No other ivory for the doors
No other marble for the floors
No other cedar for the beam
And dome of mans immortal dream.
Here on the paths of everyday
Here on the common human way
Is all the stuff the gods would take
To build Heaven, to mold and make
New Edens. Ours the stuff sublime
To build Eternity in time!
