TROOPS WILL MOVE APART 15 MINUTES SECTION FOR EACH BATTALION, COMFORTABLE PROVISIONS MADE ON TRAINS. AECUT THE SOLDIR BOYS Many Interesting Happenings Con cerning the National Guard in Camp at Morehead City Dally Drills for the Boys in Khaki. Camp Glenn. When the troops move from hero, the railroad "talent" Is planning a "aection" for each battalion, the sec tions to move fifteen minutes apart. It Is not known on what section the Brigade Commander General Young will move, but the belief is that he will be among the early sec tions with the First intantry. While, of course, there is no hard and fast rule, it is generally under stood in a military way that a com manding officer goes with the major portion of his command. This would throw General Young with the Second infantry section. But there la something else to be consider ed. If General Young is first on the ground at point of destination, mani festly he would be in better position to make effective his wishes touching the consolidation of his brigade. In oth er words, he will not let go its hand while he leads It Into camp. The "consist" subjoined will give a correct notion of the ample and com fortable provision made for the trans portation of afll the units. Transportation of North Carolina National Guard, number of troops and equipment necessary to move. Brigade headquarters and three regiments of inflanry: Baggage cars (kitchen cars).... 18 Box cars (for baggage) 9 Tourist cars (48 enlisted men per car) 2 Pullman cars (Brig, commander, and staff and line officers).... 10 Flat cars (transportation) 14 Total 113 Cavalry (In. troops): Baggage cars (kitchen car) ...... 1 Tourist cars (officers and enlisted men) 3 Flat cars (transportation) 1 Total 6 Field hospital: Baggage cars (kitchen cars) 1 Tourist cars 2 Flat cars 2 Total Ambulance company: Baggage cars (kitchen car) Tourist cars Flat cars Total Grand total 129 One baggage car for each two com panies. Six wagons to one flat car (taken down.) Three ambulances per flat car (tak en down.) Rem. The Infantry figures are based on 1,000 men to each regiment and to handle in battalions, or three sections, it will require approximately: Standard sleepers , 1 Tourist cars 7 Baggage cars 2 Box cars 1 Flat cars 2 Total to each section 13 The American Railway Association, through its representative here, states that cars are already, assembled In the Potomac yards for the movement of troops here, and can be put here In twelve hours, if necessary. Gen eral Young's plan is that sections should follow one another in close or der. In each section of thirteen cars wIHmove a battalion, three regiments proceeding in numerical order. It Is understood that General Young will have headquarters with the first regiment sections. Preparations to ward moving seem to be taken now more seriously and as a matter of course. The mental attitude of officers and men are adjusting themselves ac cordingly. Provost guard first organized, Col onel McGhee, commanding, and com posed of sixty-five men, three ser geants, two corporals from three regi ments guarding railway trains from Morehead to Beaufort. Relief on duty day and night. Selected from Char lotte company, Corporal Williams; Private Litten; Gastonla, Privates Glover and Conrad; Concord, Privates Morton and Lentz; Shelby, Private Terry. It Is only a question of days, not weeks now, before the North Caro lina troops will be moving toward the border of Mexico. General Young stated at parade that he would send his family home next week and closfl up his house, and that it was only a question of a short time now. Lieut Col. Ellison Gilmer, recently appoinUd to that office in the First Infantry, has arrived after having completed the exchange of property as camp quartermaster at the IMatts burg training camp. He will imme diately take up his work with the regiment. Corporal Fred R. Baker of the first company Coast Artillery of Raleigh, was commissioned second lieuten ant and assigned to the same com pany. He succeeds to the vacancy caused by the promotion of Second Lieutenant Godfrey Cheshire to first lieutenant. Mr. Baker is a graduate of Clemson College and is now connected with the North Carolina Experiment Station at We.st Raleigh. Other commissions announced by Colonel Peterson at the adjutant gen eral's office follow: Dr. A. E. Worsham of Salisbury was commissioned a first lieutenant in the dental crops and ordered to proceed to Camp Glenn at once. First Sergeant Owen C. Fillyaw of the second company, Coast Artillery, Wilmington, was commissioned a sec ond lieutenant and assigned to the same company. First Sergeant Charles A. Dixon, Jr., of Salisbury of the fifth company. Coast Artillery, was commissioned second lieutenant and assigned to the same company. On August 10 there will be formed In the first infantry, a machine gun company, Hall Morrison, captain, commanding, with one first and two second lieutenants. Also a supply company, with C. F. Tyson as cap tain, one second lieutenant; also headquarters, Regimental ' Adjutant Freemen, captain; also ten mounted scouts. Whole detail wIM call for seven men each company. Similar outfits will be organized in each regi ment on that date. W. W. Pierce, who has been com missioned second lieutenant, Company E, Goldsboro, has arrived. As major of Engineer Corps, Lieutenant Pierce was one who gave himself energeti cally to the work of camp establish ment Afater the task was practically completed, he left camp to wind up legal business in which he was en gaged. He now returns for duty in the Goldsboro command. Col. W. C. Rodman, Second In fantry, is now planning a series of regimental practice marches for training of the men, to be entered Into in earnestness directly after the review of the brigade by Governor Craig. A prominent officer claims to have heard officially that regiments would move August 23, 25 and 27. Coionol Hunt wired Washington that the first would be ready to move August 13 and the other regiments two weeks later. Recruits Filling Ranks. A warm welcome back was given Captains Bard. Felmet, Swift, Lieuten ant Burns, Troop B Cavalry, Aahevllle and Waynesville, after three weeks' re cruiting duty. They were tied up two weeks by flood, but brought back $0 recruits and. 15 more were sent on before. Captain Bard says the. flood created a great demand for labor, caus lng difficulty in getting recruits. They are a hefty lot of mountain boys. Out of 15 sent before, only o(ne man was rejected by reason of injured ankle. Flood stopped him at Salisbury, so he footed it to" Ashevllle, 142 miles, in 34 hours. Coast artillery officers who got a week's slice recruiting duty with seven cents mileage and commutation quar ters, now go to Camp Fort Caswell, but regimental officers also will have these perequlsltes this time and will apply for payment of same during the first recruiting tour. It was not good news to troop A and troop B, cavalry, that came from fed eral authorities lately that no horses would be sent to mobilization campa. The oavairy's main duty instituted thus far has consisted of detachments posted around a neighboring water melon patch, armed with automatics. Mounted guards have been prolific in material for the summary court. In fact, General Young and another offi cer were out Inspecting posting of the guards recently when both were ordered under arrest. The guard thought they were too near the melon patch for the safety of his charge. A little argument persuaded the guard that' neither officer came near the patch with malicious intent. Camp In Review. The most important event hitherto in the life of the troops here was the turning out in review of the whole brigade. With the three regimental bands, over 3,000 men passed in review be fore the brigade commander, General Young. On General Young's left were MaJ. H. J. Hunt, United States army, representing the war department here, and MaJ. Edward F. Geddings, Medical Corps United States army. Behind them In line were MaJ. Gordon Smith, hrirade adjutant: MaJ. Raleigh T. Daniels, brigade quartermaster; Maj. Glenn S. Brown, ordnance officer, and Maj. Baxter R. Hunter, brigade sur geon. These were the outfits in the order named: First, Second and Third In fantry. Troops A and B Cavalry, Ambulance and Hospital Corps. It was a gala spectacle, and all things considered. the result was wonderful. Unusual Good Health. Unusual good health has, thus far characterized the encampment. Num bers of men were temporarily on the sick list from the anti-typhoid vaccine and smallpox vaccinations. But the field hospital, under command of Ma jor Clemenger, has been noticeably free from serious illness. At present, an operating room which shall be dust proof and fully equipped is being erec ted at the field hospital. It will be a frame structure while all other hos pital accommodations are found wtth 1a tents. tW -' for ' ti ft. t5 jCvW I if I Pjfia I V" f l Hit' I f! I i S3 I 1' Established Styles No one need concern herself to look about for novel ways of making up the useful coat of taffeta. Styles were es tablished in this class of garments early, and have persisted throughout the season. These coats are ample, loose-hanging and finished with ruch ings, usually to the exclusion of any other ornamentation. For the slight outlay required noth ing proves more convenient In the Bummer wardrobe than these envelop ing coats of silk. Nearly always a plain or a changeable taffeta Is the choice of the wearer for making them, but certain stripes and " plaids are available that are used for special de signs. One of these is of flag-blue taf feta striped with bars of black and white. It is cut straight, but drawn Style Demanded So much more vivacity characterizes women's clothes today than in other clays, that no one Is surprised at new developments. Manufacturers of shoes und hose have kept up with the pace set by those who make the modes In all other npparel and, above all else, women demand style In their foot wear. Whatever eccentric fancy of the designer works out In sightly shoes or hose is sure of a welcome. But the conservative taste Is not forgotten entirely and whether shoes are sedate, or snappy, they are made on the cleverest Hues and with the most exquisite perfection of finish. .They are marvels of graceful contour, be they of the sturdy varieties for sports or walking or of the dainty kinds for dress or dancing. 1 Three models ore shown in the picture above. One of them, at the left of the pic ture, Is made with a cloth top and pat ent leather vamp and Is shown in several colors. Light kid uppers make' another variety In the same kind of shoe and It has been a favorite in brown with the leather In bronze. The low pump has made itself fa miliar to everyone in kid, In several light colors and In black and bronze. Beginning with white It runs through three tints of gray light, pearl and dark gray, and It has been most popu lar in champagne and in white. Ma chine stitching and cut-out work an swer the purpose of Its modest dec oration and moderately high French heels finish off this masterpiece of jrood style. A showy lnced boot is made of light kid banded with narrow strips of black patent leather. The length A the shoe is broken by the direction of the bands. Shoes of this kind are Uked with pastime suits, sports suits in Silk Coats. in at the waist line across the back under a belt of the material. It has plain, full sleeves, finished with ample cuffs of black velvet. The rather low neck supports a wide frill which forms a cape. There is a standing ruff of black velvet across the back and shoul ders, ending in long sash end at the front They cross on the bust and fasten at each side, on the ends of the belt. The model shown In the picture Is of blue and tan changeable taffeta, and leaves nothing to be desired in style or beauty. It Is made with a long yoke extended into panels at the front, and finished with full ruchlngs of the silk along the edges and about the cuffs. Its uses are many and its be comlngness unquestioned. in Footwear. and the various valuable street suits which have helped so much In making this a summer of styleful clothes. Pink Blouses Rule. The pale pink blouse seems to main tain its hold upon a woman's fancy, and In spite of the scores of new mod els In bisque, cream and pale blue, three pink blouses are sold to every one In another shade. There is some thing perculiarly feminine and appeal ing about a delicate pink blouse and well does woman realize Its becomlng ness. The only- trouble about these dainty blouses Is their proclivity to "wash out," not a good wearable white, but a dirty yellowish white that Is by no means bisque or cream. The handy woman knows what to do about this; she keeps on hand a supply of ordi nary rose-colored crepe paper, tears off a few scraps and "pinks" the rins ing water for her blouse. The dell cute tint will wash out again, to be sure but tt Is simply a matter to "pink" the rinsing water each time the blouse is laundered. This may offer a hint to the woman who fancies a pale pink tint, also In crepe de chine undergarments or who has a pair of white silk stockings that she would like to turn pale pink for use with a pink evening gown. Flowers on Headgear. Field flowers, a perfect riot of them. Including fuzzy yellow dandelions prim little buttercups, wheat in the natural colors, besides dainty little mountain flowers, formed a wreath around a large sun shade. It was quaint, most attractive and decidedly novel, for the flowers were so natural It was difficult to believe they ver not real. iMMnONAL M(I0OL LESSON (By B. O. SELLERS. Acting Director of the Sunday School Course Of the Moody Bible Institute. Chicago.) (Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 13 THE GRACE OF LIVING. LESSON TEXT II Cor. 9. GOLDEN TEXT In all things I gave you an example, that bo laboring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It la more blessed to give than to receive. Acta 20:35. Tanl's letters to the church In Corinth are a divine commentary upon church government. A stricter ad herence to the principles enunciated and a clearer interpretation of those principles to the church of Jesus Christ would save us from many errors and heartaches. In this rich and populous nation the lesson for consideration to day Is most vital, for it concerns one of the fundamental principles which underly the progress of mankind as well as the kingdom of God. I. Cheerful Giving (vv. 1-7). One of the dangers assailing the early Chris tian church was that of division be tween the Jewish and Gentile believ ers. One party suggested that the Gentiles ought to have a closer union with the Jews ; on the other hand, cer tain Gentiles could not see the necessi ty of the Jewish ceremonial, and In this Paul agreed with them, and there fore they refused to assume any un necessary burden. The great feasts at Jerusalem were crowded with pil grims, both Jews and Jewish Chris tians. The pilgrims were often very poor, and fatigue must have fostered diseases. Here then was a place where a work of ministry to the needy might be done with the money which had been systematically gathered through the weekly contributions of Christian believers. Note how skill fully Paul appealed to these Corin thians. He recognizes their forward ness of mind and their zeal (vv. 1 and 2, Am. It). Most delicately does he compliment them upon their work, for, said he, "I glory in your behalf." He desired their collections to be a matter of bounty, and not of covetous ness or extortion. Paul's principle of giving Is that it shall be a matter of free and beneficent gifts, not a matter of covetous greed ; not a quid pro quo, He says that they who sow sparingly shall reap sparingly. II. The Results of Giving (vv. 8-15). The law of reaping according to the seed we sow and of reaping in propor tion to the quality and quantity of the seed sown is also to be supplemented by the law of the necessity of sys tematic giving (See I Cor. 16:2). One of the sweetest and most cheerful and inspiring promises of the Bible is found in verse 8 of this section, "God is able." He is able to make all grace abound, and he does this "to the bountiful giver." Nothing more surely limits the measure of grace that we receive than our penurious, nig gardly giving (Phil. 4:19 and contest). This giving of gruce is "in order that ye always having all sufficiency in all things may abound unto every good work." God's abundant grace is be stowed upon us that we may work foi others, and live abounding, sufficient lives in everything. How poor indeed our lives must appear when measured by the standard of this verse. Literal ly this Is "hilarious giving." God loves the full-souled, hilarious giver who gives time and money. Such giving is like unto God's giving, who gave his only begotten son. If we sow as God provides, he will multiply the seed for sowing and increase the fruits of oui righteousness. If we do not sow, he will cease to supply. This liberality will work through ua to others and thanksgiving to God on the part of those who receive (v. 11, It V.). Such giving abounds to his honor and glory through the many thanks givings which it will occasion (Heb. 13:15). The more we give, the more God will increase our power to give, and In this way we will be enriched in everything unto all liberality (Prov. 11:24-25). The church in Jerusalem, when the saints of Corinth had given proof by the ministration to their need, would glorify God for the obedience of the saints in Corinth and their confes sion of the gospel of Christ, and also for the liberality of their contribution unto them (v. 13, R. V.). They would repay their generosity with prayer (v. 14, It. V.) and they would long after them by reason of the grace of God which was in them. Paul's words about our giving with thanksgiving to God for his unspeak able gift (See Ch. 8:9) the unspeak able gift of God, Jesus Christ (John 3:16; Rom. 8:32) is an exhortation to us. Nothing should so move us to give to others as the thought of what God has given of his very best and dearest for u Improves the Gravy. Did you ever try using n "thimble ful" of milk with the water in making gravy? Or the smallest shake of cel ery salt and a pinch of sugar In addi tion to the salt and pepper? These will transform the most plebian gravy, says a Mother's Magazine reader. For a Mustard Paste. If you mix mustard paste with the white of an egg Instead of hot water the result will be as good and It will not blister. Warm camphorated oil It better than either. TBI HIM QUALITY SWIM MACX1X!
