quent requests on the war depart
ment for graphic records of the
struggle. These are contained in the
files of the Photographic section OF
the signal corps Of the army.
Often a mother, with but a slender
clue to where her son was killed In
combat, beseeches the signal corps
section for photograph OF the
scene Of the engagement or incidents
surrounding his life over there.
The chances for granting her request
are of the best, for the army has
stored away 100000 photographs OF
the war. They are cross -indexed
ami readily accessible. and the pic
lures are sold at cost to those that
desire them.
The original negatives Of photo
graphs and of motion picture films
are retained in fireproof vaults at
Washington barracks here. Only
duplicates from these are utilized
The films are sent out and shown In
different corps areas.
The work of preserving outstand-
ing events in the lie OF the army by
means Of the camera Is still going
forward. Photogra phic laboratories
are maintained in many army corps
areas. ami in Hawaii. Twenty-four
enlisted men Of the signal corps are
assigned to Photographic duties
throughout the service.
This phase Of army activity had
its inception In the work of a pho
tographer, Brady, who made and
collected photographs during the
Civil War. This collection. totaling
more than 5000 plates. was later ac-
quired by the war department AMI is
now preserved by the signal corps.

tivities will be confined to the college
gymnasium. The college walks were
cleared more easily than ever yester-
day morning as the cement walks
could be scraped clean and thus maxi
ing the walking excellent.
