1,180 More Cadets
Sought for Corps in
High Schools Here
Officials Plan Campaign
To Cooperate in
Defense Program

Plans for a drive to increase the
enrolment in the Washington high
school cadet corps, as part of the
national preparedness program, will
be made at meetings of school Off
cials today and tomorrow.
DR.. Chester w. Holmes, assistant
superintendent of schools, met to-
day with principals of eight high
schools at luncheon to discuss a
program for increasing the students
interest in the hope of getting 1000
more cadets. Tomorrow Dr. G. c.
Wilkinson, assistant superintendent
in charge of colored schools, will
meet with three principals to work
for an increase of 100 colored cadets.
The increases, if achieved, would
mean a so per cent gain in the
approximately 1000 cadets enrolled
in the white schools last year and
the addition of three companies to
the $50 cadets who took the training
in the colored schools last year.
DR.. Holmes said the training will
be stepped up in intensity this year.
The war games" which were
abandoned last year will be resumed
and a special calisthenics drill with
rifles for Is minutes each training
period will be inaugvrated in the
white schools.
DR. Holmes said he hoped ar
rangements will be made so students
can buy uniforms on the install
ment plan, which might make it
possible for some students to enroll
who otherwise would not be able
to make the payment of $40 for
private's uniform in one lump sum.
He will communicate with uniform
manufa cturers if the principals
agree to the plan, he said. One
school tried the plan successfully
two years ago, he said.

tonment is swelled by conscrip-
tees.

Barracks for New u. S. Army
Are Thoroughly Modernized
Coal Stove Replaced
By Furnaces, ond
Beds Are Better

Americas conscript army-to-be
can look forward to barracks which
will be heated by forced hot air,
which will be termite and probably
rat-proof, with beds having thicker
mattresses than ever before, guards
which keep rain out Of open win
dows, and with improved ventilation
that allows the occupants of an
upper berth to sleep without resort
to gas mask.
Many of these up-to-date bar
racks already have been built.
Across the Potomac, at Arlington
Cantonment, is new barracks
project which has just been COM
pleted for the 18th Infantry Regi-
ment.
Containing 81 structures - bar
racks. mess hail. recreation halls,
supply houses and garages-the
new part of the cantonment is a
good example of the buildings which
soon will house Washington soldiers
at Fort Meade and. in fact, at any
other of the Nations posts to which
they may be sent.
Buildings Sturdily Built.
Temporary in nature. the build
ings are nevertheless Sturdily built
out of high-grade lumber, set on
concrete piles, and indicate that the
period of emergency" is not ex-
pected to be short. To one walking
through them they give the i'm
preston of extreme substantially
At Arlington, the barracks are 80
feet long by % feet wide. The mess
halls are about the same size as
the barracks, while the recreation
and supply buildings are as wide as
the barracks but about half as long,
Each barracks can hold from SO
to 81 men. allowing minimum of
500 cubic feet of air space to man,
which is required by present health
regulations, Each has two floors,
and in addition to the inside STAIR
way an outside wooden fire escape.
The escapes, leading off from a
second floor porch are so handy
that the soldiers frequently use
them in preference to the stairs.
Mattresses Are Thicker.
Some floors have double beds
they are all made of iron-and
others single. The mattresses,
which should prove a rare treat to
old-time soldiers, measure about 3
inches in thickness, from an inch
to an inch and half thicker than
the former regulation Army mat
tresses. The stuffng is also said
to be more yielding" than before
and more enduring at the same
time.
Each soldier has a new model
steel locker beside his bed which,
in most cases, is opened by a safe
type combination lock.
The heating system is completely
new to temporary Army barracks.
The hot aiE from central furnace,
is blown out into the rooms by
pressure, thus affording a constant
circulation of air in the winter
time. A generous quantity of large
windows assures proper ventilation
in the summer.
Coal Stoves Are Passe.
