THE MARINES

The Marines have gone. For the past
two weeks. their camps at various
points thru the Valley have been the
mecca OF tourists and residents of the
section. They were splendid looking
body of Americans. From officers to
privates they were ever courteous and
kindly, to all from the tiny tot who
waved flag to them while passing to
the white haired Confederate veterans,
OF whom the officers were especially
thoughtful,
The encampment on the farm of Mr..
George R. Santmiers at Willow Grove
was visited by hundreds of residents
from the surrounding towns and
country, who were entertained by the
excellent music by the bands and by
moving pictures. One of the bands
played in Woodstock on the lawn near
the public square, and was entertained
by the Woodstock Chamber of Com
merce, who after the program served
ice cream.
Woodstock was crowded with mer
ry throng of visitors from towns and
country around, who greatly enjoyed
the excellent music Wednesday evening
From this same square and within
sight of the spot where the Marine
Band was playing, bugle calls have
summoned the men of Woodstock and
Shenandoah County to seven wars.
First the Indian wars from which many
never returned, then the Revolution
when Muhlenberg from his pulpit few
yards way threw off his ministers
robe and formed the nucleus of the
famous German Regiment who fought
with distinction in the Revolutionary
war.
Then they were called to the first
Mexican war, and in sixty-one every
ablebodied young man went forth in
defence of our Southland; more COM
panies ofthe famous Stonewall Brigade,
coming from Shenandoah than from |
any other County.
Many also enlisted in the war of |
1872. In the Spanish American war a
company in command of Maj. j. w.
Magruder left this same square for the
front. Maj. Magruder was a member
of the famous " NJ l. Cadet Battalion,
who fought so bravely at New Market.
And last of all, in the great World
War many of our boys went forth, II
some to France never to return, some
were welcomed back and returned toI
their former occupations and many
were compelled to endure the tiresome
routine and suffer from Flu" in the
various camps in the U. S. where they
were held for orders.
The Marines today, Friday will march
on to Winchester, where they will rest
for several days.
A great lesson brought home to our
people, was the tremendous cost of
large army in times of peace, and the
hope that some day it may not be
needed

MANY FACTORS IN HEATING
DWELLINGS SATISFACTORILY

The efficient operation of the h,mc
heating plant depends on many fac
tors, including proper construction OF
the chimney flue, proper installation, a
thorough understanding of the plant in
order to get a maximum return from
the fuel used, tight house construc-
ton, correct degree of humidity, and
good ventilation, says the Division OF
Agricultural Engineering of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The problems of construction can be
solved only by skilled builder, while
experience is the best teacher as to
satisfactory ways of handling the in
dividual home heating plant. The
other factors, however, can be con-
trolled with little careful attention at
the start of the winter season.
Cracks around doors and windows
and leaky floors waste a great deal OF
heat in the average house. Under
conditions of moderate temperature
and wind the resulting air change is
not Objectionable and does not ma
terially affect the operation of the
heating plant. But when snow or
rain is driven before a wind of Is to go
miles an hour, if window and door
cracks permit, the air will change four
or five times more rapidly than it
should. Many people try to remedy
this by shutting off the room OH the
windward side in an effort to force
the heat into The other rooms. The
sure cure, however, says the depart
ment, is to use storm sash, wood and
felt weather stripping or metal strip
ping, and calking materials to fill in
the cracks and to make the house COM
Portable in all kinds of weather.
The proper degree of humidity isl
another factor in heating the home
that requires careful consideration.
Investigations have not proved def
nitely what are the best conditions as
to temperature and moisture for our
dwellings, but a rough practical test
for determining whether the air in a |
room is too dry is to observe the in-l
side of windows on cold day. If frost
forms freely on the the inside of the
glass there is no doubt but that the in
side air has sufficient humidity. i'll
there is no sign of frost the air is like
ly too dry.
The degree of humidity and the
of ventilation both have their
effect on the operation of the home
heating plant. The proper amount of
each is best determined by experience
and individual conditions, as a rule.

in a general discussion concerning the
matter of Bible teaching in the public

taught for several years, and the senti.
ment of the meeting was unanimously
in favor of extending this work to
cover every possible point in the

Immediate steps will be taken for
further conferences between the prin-
