1.-The army ration is too small,
Allen said. Based on the average
cost for the fiscal year 1925, the
daily values of rations were. For the
Army 31.5 cents, Marine Corps 49.7
cents, and Navy 1913 cents. This
discrimination against the military
service in the matter of rations is
generally known throughout the
service and is conductive to discon-
tentment.

1.-THE present issue Of khaki uni
form is not satisfactory; it is issued
in eight to ten radically different
shades, is Of exceptionally poor ma
terial, is very poorly made, and all
shades change color with each wash
ing.

Allen also severly critized the am
munition in general use from world
war reserves on the ground that 1t

After discussing inadequate appro-

Allen concluded:

First Use of Forks.
From the Kansas City Times.

The use of forks is comparatively
modern. They are first mentioned
in France in 1879. and as late as the
sixteenth century their use at court
was satirized as a novelty. French
and Scottish converts forbade them as
sinful. Thomas Coryate, who visited
Italy in 1908, is said to have intro
duced them into England; but as late
as 1858 few English mobiles owned
more than a dozen. At first table
forks had only two prongs, later three,
and four only toward the end of the
seventeenth century.

BILE BYRON is ONE OF BASEBALL's
MOST COLORFUL UMPIREs


Colorful umpires are the excep-
tion The game boasts few charac-
ters like Tim Hurst, Silk O'Loughlin
and Bill Byron.
Of the more modern school, Billy
Byron is still active, although he did
mot do any work last summer due to
broken leg suffered during the
winter months
Byron lives in Detroit. Quite fire.
Iquently last summer he would drop
around to the dressing room to pass
the time of day with the umpires, al
though he seldom stayed for the
game
Like most of the co1orful players
carried no thrill. Byron thrives on
action.
Byron first won fame by being
known as the singing umpire. When
"a player kicked, Bill would recite ex-
, temporaneous poetry or sing little
ditty composed on the spur of tho
moment.
! When player struck out, Bill hav
ling called the third one, while the
player stood with his bat on, his
shoulder, he would greet the protest
of the player thusly:
eff you would many base hits make,
A healthy swing you must take"
If the crowd yelled it's disapproval,
as a player after being called out at
9 the plate made strenuous protest.
Syron's reply, as he busted off the
plate, would be something like this;
