Motor Transport Use
Stressed for Militia

Increased use of motor transport
in the field operations is being
stressed by the militia officials,
particularly in the transporting of
troops from their home stations to
their summer and winter field train
ing areas, but it was added that
even with this advancement in
training in the use of motor We
hicles militia officers must not lose
sight of the fact that it still is i'm
portant for the soldier to be able
to use his legs. There is said by
the military officials to be no pros
pect now, or in the future, for
infantrymen riding in trucks clear
up to the front lines of battle and
then jumping out to fight.
Those in charge of training point
out that it is important in the
instruction of the militia to make
greater use of motor transport,
particularly for long distance hauls,
and especially in the operation of
conveys on the public roads with
greater distances between vehicles
so as to interfere as little as possible
with ordinary non-military traffic.
The use of wire communications
is also being stressed in the militia
training. While communications
among the Guard units has shown
improvement there is said to be
still room for betterment. This
lack of complete effectiveness in
wire communications however, is not
now blamed entirely on the Guard,
but to some extent to the lack of
equipment. But this is being
steadily made up. However, officials
of the National Guard Bureau
stress that Guard units must make
the full use of the equipment which
they now have on hand and make
every effort to keep it in the very
best of condition to the end that
during maneuvers or when war
comes the units charged with keep
ing open the lines of communica-
ton will be prepared to send and
receive the fullest information to
higher and lower commanders.
Guard units have been instructed
to make communications a habit, so
that in the stress of emergency they
will not forget to use the material
which they have on hand, officers
pointing out that even the finest
equipment being of little use if in
the stress of excitement the units
fail to make full use of it.
1t was asserted there is a short
age of trained radio operators. To
fill this organizations throughout the
country have been ordered to make
every effort to find qualified men
for enlistment to fill these i'm
portant billets. Amateur radio
operators are pointed to as a field
from which the National Guard
might be able to draw.

ico's greatest bull fighter, fight.
Il wanted to try my hand at 1t,
too,' Bud said. 80 I met a man
who said he'd teach me to be a
bull fighter in two weeks. The cost
was so pesos. For 100 pesos more,
he said he'd also get me a bull.
$50 I practiced hard for those
two weeks. I bought me a bull
fighters suit and I paid my extra
100 pesos and on the great day
l got dressed for my first fight.
"They drove me out to the Mexi-
CO City stockyards and said could
have my pick of the bulls. This
was great blow to my pride, but
l chose me a bull. Before I could
even unwind my cape that bull
bumped me in the stomach with its
head and trampled all over me.
THAT nearly ended my bull fight
ing, but I decided as soon as
escaped that what I needed was
more lessons. finally persuaded
Cara himself. to teach me.
"And pretty soon I really was
a bull fighter. I wasn't good one,
maybe, but the Mexicans paid their
good money to see what that crazy,
red-headed Americana would do.
"For year and half I fought
the bulls in rings all over Mexico.
