In these words Monsignor La

tackled modern styles severely. and,
after reviewing the doctrine of the

severe in dealing with women

Quarters for the enlisted men at
Fort Howard. Nd. are such that
no health officer would pass them
for one moment. In visiting the
kitchen of two of the companies,
holes were found in the floors that
one could slip a foot through with
out trouble. Not one hole but many.
Portions of the mess hall had no
screening and fly-paper was stuck
all around the hall. The air of the
room, in which the men of the
companies eat three times a day,
was foul and dark. Large holes
, in the walls. No money to fix the
falling plaster. Buildings were con-
structed in 1898. In addition to
this, the post is greatly over
crowded. This is due to die present

cially the junior officers, lieuten-

wives of officers using oil stoves

driven the families to band togeth-
err and form a community mess.
Then there are coast artillery
guns at Fort Howard. which, by
the way, is an abandoned coast
artillery post, that had not been
fired or tested since the summer
of 1919. A detachment of twelve
men is kept at the post to keep
the guns oiled and cleaned. The
range of the guns, which guard
the City of Baltimore, is 10000
yards. The range of the average
battleship is $4,000 yards. Whao
chance has the City of Baltimore?
Would the average citizen, who
had an insurance policy that had
lapsed for six years expect any
payment on it? Hardly.
