MIND discipline and work. re-
marked Wallace Lauterbach
caoet at West Point Military
Academy, home for part of the
summer. "Wally," a graduate of
Redwood Falls High school. will
return after his n day vacation
as a second class cadet. which
corresponds to the junior class of
a college. -
The purpose of the academy. of
course, is to train officers for the
army. Approximately 600 men
receive appointments and enter
every year, but by the time the
class graduates, the number is
reduced to about $50. Cadets are
required to pass all examinations
IN order to stay. Candidates for
appointments have to pass exam
nations given by congressman
and be appointed by their con-
gresham or some other authoriz-
ed person. After that, they have
TO pass an examination prepared
by the academy and a physical
examination.
The first year is always the
hardest, because officers and up
perclasSmen alike test the mettle
of the new cadets. The ''Plebes"
are required to pass tests in fen
eng, riding, swimming, wrestling,
boxing and gymnastics. They are
subjected to a routine of hazing
all year long, have practically nc
privileges, are not allowed to
swim or indulge in any sports
with the upperclaSsmen and are
kept continually busy. "They give
you more work than you can
handle" says Wally, land it's UP
to you to handle it-thats the
irony of it."
Day Well Filled
The program is about the same
every day. Reveille is at $50 and
breakfast at $50. Glasses start at
8 and are through at 3 p. m. Ath-
letic squads practice and military
squads drill in preparation for
full dress parade which takes
place at $50 every day. At Tbs
the cadets report to their rooms
in the barracks and study until
taps at 10. Saturdays, however,
classes end at noon and the after
noon and evening are free. Cadets
are inspected every Saturday
morning by regular army officers.
Dances are held at night in Gull
lem hall or one of the other gym
nasiums. Girls from schools near
by come up for the dances and
stay in nearby hotels. Sundays all
cadets 60 to church and then have
part of the day free for swimming
in a nearby mountain lake, or
other recreation. The biggest par
ade of the week is Sunday after
noon. Sometimes they attract
crowds of $4,000 or 10000 persons.
Army discipline is, of course,
very strict. Cadets are never al
lowed to leave the post except
when travelling with an athletic
team. Every minute of their day
is regulated and must be account
ed for. Their rooms must be kept
clean with everything in its place.
Everything possible is done to in

NEW YORK. June 2.-Although
spottingness was still in evidence.
trade movements continued to show
a trend toward improvement during
the past week, with betterment in
sentiment a significant part of the
recovery. said the Dun & Bradstreet
weekly review today.
"A few days Of summer heat were
sufficient to effect a marked i'm
provement in retailers sales totals"
asserted the survey.
Since the corresponding week a
year ago also witnessed an upLurn
in buying. year to year comparisons
for retail trade are estimated to
have remained unchanged at the
to II per cent increase recorded
last week.
Orders received in wholesale
markets indicated the extent to
which the seasonal buying squirt of
the last few weeks has exhausted
stocks
"All types of warm weather goods
we're in demand In most instances
wholesalers expressed satisfaction
over the amount of business done,
although there were still frequent
complaints that the smallness of
individual orders was cutting sharp
ly into profits"

the spirit of 1872 Thirteen of these
were killed. Nine who lost their lives
were five years old, or younger. Six
children between ten and Is were

And in 80 per cent Of the cases
carefully investigated, it was shown
that the children who were injured
were without supervision by older
people.
So very reasonable are the recon-
mendations of the National Society

~ Use no fireworks and make it
impossible for your children to use
fireworks before or after the Fourth
Of July.
None Safe
(2) If you do use fireworks, do not
permit little children to handle them.
There is no such thing as safe fire
works for little children. Deaths
have been caused by the so-called
harmless sparklers and by other ap-
parently harmless fireworks.
