of equipment and the boys held mid
night session in thei rerection and then
the army life" started in earnest. The
tents were pitched as we'll as could be
in the dark with the aid of no other
illumination than Of a faint moon
which shown above the Atlantic.
Tents erected, the men arranged
their hunks, also in the dark, and
shortly after midnight turned in for
some much-needed rest. Five hours
were put in in the hardest kind OF
slumber, and it was with difficulty that
the bugler with the aid Of the lieu
tenants got them out Of the hunks at
$3.50 a. m.
During the night a drilling rain
began which continued throughout
the morning while the boys of the COM
pany employed their time in polio
ing" the camp and setting the tents
right that were hastily thrown up.
Regular drill duty began at 1880
q. m.
1t must not be understood that the
Alexandria boys got the worst end
of the bargain in anv other matter
than that of having their portion OF
the camp farther from the station than
any other of the IS companies. for
many Of the companies arrived on
the same train and some got in even
later, and they all had the same
rough road to travel.
Brigadier-General Samuel G. Wal
Ter, camp commander, and Colonel
Heroine L. Opie, in command of the
10th Infantry, Virginia National
: Guard, arrived in the camp ahead OF
the men. and have expressed their en-
( tire satisfaction at the way in which
the camp was being established, re-
marking especially upon the lack of
confusion which usually marks the
advent of the National Guard.

that the ladies' love missives have been
getting shorter and shorter, keeping
time with the length of their dresses.
In 1907 tests showed that there was
an average Of forty pieces Of tirst-class
mail to the pound, but the same data
shows that there are now forty-tlve

Maybe this results from more con-

maybe the learning to talk less.

believe that some action, which wiz
relieve the country of serious coal /
shortage, will be taken by the end Of
this week to end the coal strike which
has gripped the country for 10 weeks.
1t IS also believed that the bitumi-
nous miners and operators are near
an agreement, from the fact that John
!. Lewis. president of the United
Mine Workers. has asked the anthra-
cite coal operators 10 designate some
date for a hard coal settlement.
Even with the mines producing at
~, speed it will take many weeks for
the country to catch up on its coal
supply. The Presidents fuel commit
tee is expected to ration coal long after
the mines get into operation in order
that unduly large quantities OF coal
will not go into some sections Of the
country while other sections are cut
short.

Pure Food And
Whole Grains
To Be Shown

Illustrating the lecture tonight in
the High School by Alfred Mccain of
New York on Natural Foods vs.
Foodless Foods" will be the large ex-
hibition of pure and whole grain foods
in the lobby of the High School on
Saturday.
In connection with the elaborate
display there will be clinics for chill
of proper cleaning of the teeth will
be demonstrated
The exhibition will be a part of the
annual convention of the Dental
in Stratfeld hotel this morning.
Mothers and housewives are especial
ly invited to attend the very instruc-
tive and interesting session at the
High School Saturday afternoon, when
many valuable points in the prepar-
ing and cooking of good wholesome
foods, will be suggested, by the
hygienists in charge.
Miss Annette Cunningham will be
in charge Of the table where natural
foods. whole grains aid eatabIe raw
vegetables will be shown. To the
layman the term natural foods" is
uiprobably misunderstood. To the
dieactan or hygieniStS it means food
which has not been refined for COM
mercial reasons or ruined by improper
cooking. Methods of utilizing whole
grains such as corn: wheat. rice, oats
and rye Will be explained. Promin-
ent dentists have decided that the
constant use of such food as rye
bread, is resp onslb1e for the wonder
full teeth of the italian and Jewish
people. Miss Cunningham will be
assisted by Miss Cecilia Han1ey.
1t is a we'll known fact that much
of the value of vegetables is lost by
the practice of housewives in peeling
ana cooking all vegetables for by
these processes quantities of juice is
wasted Scientists have found that
a special wonderful value is obtained
from eating raw carrots. Local ny
gienists viii show the proper meth DDS
of cooking, principally in casserole.
They will tell of the tempting dishes
which may be prepared by adding
milk to the vegetable and in saving
the juice The vegetable table will
be under the charge of Mrs Jessie
Hagerty assisted by Miss Airline La
Halt and Miss Veronica Graham
An added attraction will be the
milk table where many ways of pre-
pairing milk besides as a beverage,
will be suggested Mrs Margaret

COlOrs To Be
Massed When
Veterans March

AT a ~ecent meeting of the United
Patriotic Societies, Inc, q discussion
took place at the deplorable lack of
respect to the national colors as they
passed by in the Memorial Day
parade. During the World War
when the patriotism of the nation was
at a high pitch, every hat came off as
the colors passed and in the course
of the big Memorial Day parade the
necessity for uncovering was quite
frequent as q standard of co1ors
passed about once a minute. It was
agreed by the representatives of the
various patriotic societies that If all
the national colors were naassed
much of the apparent lack of re-
spect in the failure to properly salute
them by uneovering would be over
come.
Grand Marshal William sLounshury
has therefore issued orders that this
year in the Memorial Day parad e. the
colors of every organization partici-
pating in the parade will be massed
imme diately following the grand
marshal, and his staff. In addition to
this new feature he has arranged that
the division comprising -he massed
colors will proceed to the monument
at Seaside Park by the short route
imm ediatel after passing under the
Perry Memorial Arch and take up po-
siaon at the monument so that the
veterans will pass in review before
the co1ors when they assume their
places there. The massing of colors
at the head of the parade has never
been done before in Bridgeport and
win prove an inspiring sight.
