pleted maneuyers probably will be
mustered out around Christmas
time.
WHAT OF DRATEES?
This fact led to the seemingly
obvious question of whether these
released draftees, apparently being
not any too interested i'll what the
cavalry was doing anyhow, might
not forget all they had learned
while III camp here.
If they should forget. the very
purpose of the Selective service act
would be defeated, We pointed out
to Captain Rosenberg.
True, he conceded; but:
The cavalry doesn't train men to
forget. like a Mason. once cavalry
man. always caValryman. And
these Selectees who were put thru
their PAGES will remember every
small detail of what a cavalry man
is supposed to do. Captain Rosen-
berg said
Well. the maneuverS are history
now. The boys are back with us.
Well be meeting you in FL Centro

lessons learned during a month of
bruising r<aneuvers in the noun
tain region between Imperial VAL

Upon one thing. the officers were
agreed. Bltz units may come and

goes on forever
Tactical problems today are much
the same for the cavalry as they
they were when Black Jack Perish
ing. with Floyd Gibbons haunting
him. was chasing Pancho Villa.
1t still goes where nobody else
could possibly go, serving as sort
of a paralytic stroke to the enemy
The cavalry as demonstrated by

Of the enemy, keeps him busy until

Young men between the ages of
II and % years may enroll any time

J. p Holman, Imperial county well
fare director said Thursday.
The old plan of selected enroll

where young men of the San Fran
cisco bay area may take ship
filters helper course during their
six months enrolment period that
will ensure them, upon completion

Other California camps have had

Strange Gifts Aid
British Red Cross
In War Effort

LONDON. Sept l8 CUPp -- Man!
strange gifts are being received
daily by the British Red Cross So
ciety in London, to be put up fol
auction to obtain funds.
Among those recently received
was a cigar bought by mother
for her sons 2lSt birthday before
he was reported missing. She was
a small woman dressed neatly in
black who had sat watching a dozen
bottles of brandy presented by King
George being auctioned for S2340.
She clutched the cigar, bit bat
tered and peeling at the ends, and
wished that it could fetch hun
dred shilling like most Of the other
auctioned articles.
NO one would give hundred
shillings for JimS cigar she said,
so I think I will post it instead;
haven't the nerve to give it my
self"
Jims mother will feel proud now.
The cigar which she had not the
courage TO give to the Red Cross
has been received by post. In her
letter signed "A lonely Mother" "
she writes, IF it is not good enough
to sell. I shall understand.
But the Red Cross thinks it is
good enough.
Another gift received by the Red
Cross, was from a young war
widow. 1t was a bottle of cham
pagne. bought to be opened at her
first wedding anniversary, which
never took place. Her husband was
killed in action.

Mystery Of Left
Boots Solved

RENO. Nev., Sept 10 up --
The mystery of the 81 left boots is
solved.
The 81 were ali left in the True
. kee river, where a small boy fished
,hem out and turned them over to
the sheriffs office.
One deputy started looking for
a one-leggcd thief, who, it was be-
lieved might have kept the 81
right boots and thrown the lefts
away.
But another deputy, a former
shoe clerk remembered that shoe
statesmen carry only lefts or rights
when travelling, to tighten their
loads, and soon discovered a sales
man in Stockton, Cal, who had
lost the boots.
The finder was disgu5tcd with
his one-sidcd discovery and tossed
them, fancy cowboy trimmings,
square toes, high heels and all to
the fish.
