D ICHLY furred velvet coats are
~ sauntering along the highways
of fashion in continuous procession.
Which confirms the earlier reports
that winter modes will attain TO
heights of elegance such as has not
been experienced for many a sea-
son.
Nor is the velvet coat reserved
for state. in fact, we are wearing
velvet these days quite casually.
AS to the models in the picture
they are exquisite down to the
slightest detail, are high-class, yet
are so conservatfvely styled as to
tune in to most any hour of the
day.
The social rounds of the day
seem not so arduOus to the woman
cuddled in luxurious fur and who
feels the soft caress of rich velvet.
And so if you are pOndering as to
whether the new winter coat

let the models in the picture solve the
problem in their suggestion that you
choose velvet.

is where the horse made his first high jump"
But these motor-minded people think that
war may be fought by the inspiring tank"
1--WE are apt to think in terms Of replace
ment rather than Of expansion. The motor Is
useful In its place as fair-weather appliance,
but motors get stalled in the mud and have to
be pulled out by horses and mules. In emery
encies we 60 back to the simple things Of life.

The field service is, of course. the interesting
feature Of the Remount Service. where one
comes In contact with the fundamentals, The
paper work being done mostly at washington
headquarters. The field service is divided into
four zones In order to keep up its far-fung o.
ttvities; they are the Eastern Zone, the South
Zone. Each Of these has purchasing and breed
ing headquarters as center Of operations under
direct supervision Of the local commanding ON
Ger, who reports to headquarters at WaShingtOn.
And there are three depots that serve the zones,
one ct Front Royal, Va, one at Fort Reno,
Okla, and one at Fort Robinson, Nebr. The
raw and green horses are first sent to these
depots for getting into condition before being
sent out for service in the combatant arms
The personnel Of these includes regular trainers,
30 has somewhat the air of wild west affair.
The breeding activities at various headquarters
have as their most important feature the testing
and placing Of various stations In their zones.
The service has now 600 stations and could
use more. The green ranch horses after pur-
chase are sent to the nearest remount depot for
the various forms Of service.
One comment made by Maj. Cullum Illus
trates the scope Of the duties, referring to the
ground at Front Royal being rolling and hilly:
"There Is not enough level space TO measure
horse. A horse must be measured ON an exact
level" This, while self-evident after being
brought to the attention, would hardly occur
to layman Is one Of the many contingencies.
As regards horse purchasing, says the major:
"The horse buyer Is prOspectOr, forever look
ing for the pot Of gold at the end of the RAIN
bow. And, as one Of the held officers conn
ments. II find that II the dealer is calling at
tention to horses good points or qualifications
that do not affect him for our purpose, that
horse usually develops some defect that win
justify his rejection" So the purchasing agent
must be wary. Maj. Cullum also adds the quail
ity Of diplomacy, deeming it wise IN rejecting
horse not 10 offend the dealer. So he puts
good VIII into the business.
Maj. Cullum's eulogy Of the horse sounds at
times like an epic. Says he:
- The horse Is the natural throne Of man.
