Jones at 6:l5 these mornings by a
bugler sounding off on first call.
Then things start. He has Is min

before the call OF the reveille.
AT reveille the trooper is looked

Fort Brown Priuates
Spending Full Days

In battle, and every detail OF &C
ton gone through, from mess TO
recreation, has this principle OF the
reason for armed forces in mind.
At 10 o'clock Jones usually is In
fatigue clothes. AS a Fort Brown
cavalryman, he goes to the stables.
He has a horse and its equipment
to keep in shape. The horse must
be groomed thoroughly. II he Is
found to have lost q shoe he Is
taken to the horse-shoer, who has
records Of the size of the animals
foot and who puts the new shoe on
the mount. So important Is this
that the trooper carries extra shoes
for his horse in his saddle bags
when he goes into the field or on
an overnight hike.
The stables themselves must be
kept clean. The Jones are detail
ed. In rotation, to attend TO those
duties.
Dinner Sounds Good
Everything In connection with the
greasing OF equipment and h OIL
Ing Of saddles has been completed
and Jones is in uniform again 10
stand formation for mess at II.
Dinner: Beef roast. mashed po-
tatoes. pan gravy, sweet corn. green
onions, apple pie, coffee, milk, sug-
ar. And the government has spent
another 1913 cents for a more bal
anced and wholesome meal than
mny financial chieftains are eating
at the same time.
A delightful period OF inactivity
follows the midday meal for the SOL
der. He has no duties until los
more than an hour - when he
must make up his mind II he Is sick
or well. If he Is sick he answers
the ever-present bugler. who then
blows sick call. by falling in the
line Of those needing medical at
tention. If Jones needs a d~isinfect-
ant for a cut finger the doctor fixes
it UP and marks Jones as capable
of carrying on his duties. II MS
illness is more serious he is con-
fined to his quarters or sent TO the
hospital.
School In Afternoon
At lis Jones goes TO school.

duty calls for absence from all
