the boys of Battery )ae Hun

ttliery, is remarkable, Il ch we all
think is due To our sup r n ofncers
IN arranging events wherein 'eaen
and every man can participate
for Instance, the coming motor
show or vehicle exhibition.
Every motor vehicle will be sub
Ject to a rigid inspection by high
officials. Each vehicle will be
graded on points of cleanliness and
general condition of all parts con-
tanned therein, due to care given
them by the soldier responsible.
Prizes will be awarded 10 those
whose machine receives the high
est number of points, and the ma
ture OF the prizes will be in the
form OF a Leave OF sew days for
the first, five days for the second,
and three days for the third. Each
man directly responsible for the
condition of the machine will re-

tractors, motorcycles, automobiles.
etc.
The enthusiasm over the coming
event has caused a great rivalry
throughout the regiment. Under
the competent guidance of Captain
Arthur v. Swedberg. however, Bat
terry T is expected to COP the big
red apple" as usual.
This is only one way OF keeping
the boys minds occupied. There
are schools being held daily on
subjects that men are most inter
ested In. There are elementary
Glasses, also advanced courses.
Only yesterday a school of mechan-
tcal engineering was started with

PRICES DROP TO
AID BUILDING
Basic Co nOdities Are Scheduled
To Hit me TOboggan In Next
Few Days.

Prices on more basic commodi-
ties are scheduled to hit the tobog-
gan this week.
Continuing its conferences with
leading industries, the government
industrial board, within the next
few days, hopes to reduce the cost
to consumers of coal, coke, lumber,
glass, cement, building hardware
and brick. =
With assurances that the prices
established will stand throughout
the year, an unprecedented build
ing boom is expected. The board S
first efforts are concerned with
building materials in the hope of
affordiRg labor to thousands of I'M
employed in the country.
Agreement on lower cement
prices has practically been reached
by the board and the cement
men, and the new price sched-
uies for this product will be an
nounced early this week.
Interest Centers on Coal.
Interest today, however, centers
on the efforts to agree on prices
for next winters coal with the ma
tionaI, coal association, which rep
resents nearly all of the mining in
dustry. Coal production is nov
nearly 5000, 900 tons a month be
hind the war time production of
last year, according to Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield's figures.
Unless this production is stimu-
lated by a demand for coal, there
is bound to be a shortage when the
demands are heaTy next winter,

Danger of accidents still con-
tfnues to exist on Thirty-eighth

Despite the fact that the heavy
rainfall which caused the land
slides from the bluffs on either side
of the street, between Seventh and
Eleventh avenues, occurred more
than two weeks ago. the dirt still
remains on the street.
1t has fallen SO as to leave IN
some places only room enough for

danger, to other vehicles because
of the fact that In places there Is
