 Commander

Fort Knox, Ky., July l9-(UP)- The man who knows as much about tank warfare as anyone in the na- tion is satisfied Chat Americas fledgling armored force packs . real punch.
 Nearly 20 years ago Major Gen. Adna R. Chaffee began to talk about the need for '4pIenty of fire power, speed and mobility, protected by plenty of arInor plate" Today, as chief of the arrnored force created July 10, l940, he said.
 T am well pleased win the pro- gress that has been made an espe- cially with the esprit-de-corps of all members of the armored force.
 we have all worked long hours and in many instances under diffi- culties, but feel confident that our efforts will be rewarded by the satis- faction of being able efficiently to perform any task assigned to the arrnored force"
 i Keeps Pace With Army
 The army's arnored force today Is 1900 per cent stronger in men and vehicles than when 1t was started just over c year ago. It is still growing in direct proportion to pro- duction of army vehicles under the national defense program.
 Much of the forces growth is 8 hit or miss proposition since 1t comes as 8 comparatively new unit of the army. Its character still IS in the fluid stage. But its impor- tance-- -spotlighted by sensational inechandzed successes reported in Europe-is unquestioned, officers believe.
 The arrnored force now has four divisions, IS tank battalions re- search board, 8 replacement train- ing center with a 9,000-man capa- city and a school for technical spe- cialistS which graduates 22,000 en- listed men and 1,400 officers ar1- nually.
 The replacement center assimi- lates men direct from the induction centers and prepares them for duty fin Q special-and notoriously stiff three months course. Students who meet special standards then are sent through another three months course at the armored force "col- lege."
 At "college" they receive concen- trated instruction in one of eight courses, according to their special ability-gunnery, communications, tanks, wheeled vehicles, motorcycles, clerical work field engineering, or tactics.
 Commanding officers of the force, beside Chaffee, include: Mai. Gen. Bruce Magruder, 1st Division. Fort Knox: Maj. Gen. George s. Patton, Jr., 2Hsd Division, Fort Benntng, Ga; Camp Polk; La, and Brig. .-Gen. H. W. Baird 4th Division, Pine Camp; ". Y.

Young women will secure en-
ployment this month when many

will be needed.
Business Affairs: Perplexities
attending the speeding OF pro-
duction in mills and factories
may be disturbing to men today,
II they have time TO think. There
is an evil portent affecting ship
ping, and labor again comes
under configuration which

appointed to build a jail n
Pierce county FOR those con-
victed Of selling whisky to lndi-
ans. The commission considered
several sites and finally selected
a 10-aere tract on Mcneil island.
That was the beginning Of the
United States penitentary. about
which an interesting story viii
appear later.
In spite Of the federal jail and
special agen,s Of one KIND and
another. the Job Of keeping
whisky from Indian hop piokers
proved too much for Uncle Sam.
Year after year the same
drunken orgies took place in the
hop camps. When licensed sa-
looms opened in Puyallup and
Sumner, the big payday parties
were transferred to town
The situation became So bad
in Puyallup that most Of the
residents we're afraid to go on
the street the night after a hop
camp payday. Church people
protested at the whisky riots
which disturbed the sunday
services
Saloonkeepers laughed. One
of them though II would he
good joke to send a lot of
drunken Indians and squaws
to the Methodist church one
SUNDAY morning. IL was
good joke-on the saloon men.
The next year Puyallup voted
the saloons out, the first town
In the state to invoke the local
option law. The joke even
went farther. as Puyallup's eN-
perience was cited in a later
campaign which made the
state dry.
Getting back to hops, it was
fine business, but had its ups
and downs. The first serious
bump came in 1873. Growers
had held part of the 1874 crop
on speculation. The 1873 crop
was heavy and that fall the
market went up, Growers IN
the valley were juhilant and
some Of them even began spend
ing their hop money before they
got it,
That year hops were shipped
to San Francisco on the steam
ship Pacific. That is, the Pa
cific started for San Fran
cisco, but a few hours after
passing out of the straits the
vessel was sunk in collision
and all the Puyaliup hops
went to the bottom.
Loss OF one seasons entire
crop and part of another was a
hard blow for the valley farm
ers. n broke most of them. but
they took It as Just one more
incident Of pioneer life and start
ed to build up from the bottom
again. In few years they
were again making money.
