Shaping Pottery A wile-shaped piece of clay, put- tylike in consistency; is thrown over a revolving mold. A man lowers a tool which shapes and scrapes it with a single movement. A plate is made bottom-side-up. The tool is stationary while the plate. on the form, revolves swiftly. The ins-Me of the plate is shaped by the mold.

Came Abraham Lingoln with two massive watermelon, bought from s vendor. Gathering his three sub-dividers he halved the melons and handinw the pieces to his usocistes said, "Now, we will Christen the. baby town." Every piece of this decorated semi- porcelain is fired three times, I learn.. ed. The first, it seems, is merely I baking process. The second. after it has been dipped in a milky fluid, is to put on the white glaze. Turn your plate over at dinner this evening and examine its bottom. You will find three spots, They show where it rested on three pyramidal points dur- ine this baking. After the glazing comes the decorating. A third firing fixes that permanently. Detentions Are mostly put on with "transter ptqter"-mrmember when we were kids? The method is merely a seientifle refinement of boyhood’s "school store" tatoo. Striping is done semi-freehand,' the dish revolving while the brush irheld still. Twenty-four cities in thé United, States bear the name Lincoln. Onlr one of them was named in honor f tho martyred president before hé died.] That one, the Lincoln of thitrstory,j was named for him before he was: even farming. More-it was ehristen-) ed Lincoln by Abraham Lincoln him-) self and the baptismal ttuid was the) juice of n watermelon. i There's a bit of human interest in the story. In his younger years as mrveyor] and Iiwyer Abraham Lincoln lived) in a town that was a meager group; of small dwellings. It WM called! Postville and was a bit short of thirty- l. five miles northeast of _s,e.ie,tit?,S Lincoln was sent to the legislature from there. l Pluteg and Sula-rs I thought I knew my plates and saucers. Little did I know about plates and saucers until I went through the pottery in Lincoln. Here I was told is the only pottery in Illi- nois making "whiteware" for dining room tables. I met bluebird sets and other familiars- In making a pitcher a plaster mold is set up and a gravy-like grayish mixture poured in. The plaster ab- sorbs moisture and the clay is de- posited against the mold. Fifteen minutes later the mixture is poured out. Remove the mold tUtd-tt wet clav pitcher that manages to stand alone. Trim off the rough edges and marks left by the joints: in the mold, bake and then-a pitcher. We will now make 3 plate. Making I cup is much the reverse of melting I plate or saucer. A ball of clay is thrown into a mold which is revolving. The tool comes down inside, shaving the inside of the cup. the mold forming the outside. Cup handles are poured. They ere-mode in pairs in molds, three dour: pnirs at a time. They are attached to the can: by hand while, both cup and handle ere still moist. Approximately, 185 persons work in the Lincoln pottery, owned by thq Big Greenhouses - ' In Lincoln I found .Iomewhat ~to Illinois Chinn company. The output New County Created So it came about_that in 1839 Lin- coln fathered a bill creating a new county and Postville became the coun- ty seat. At Lineoln's suggestion this new county was named Logan in honor of Dr. John Logan. of Murphys- boro, close friend and fellow legisla- tor. John A. Logan. son of the medico-politicinn. became one of the most famous of the Civil war generals and U. S; senator from Illinois. A railroad came through Logan county in 1852. Three pioneer pro- moters bought a section of land near Postville, on the railroad. and began to lay out a rival town. Lincoln was their legal advisor. What to name the town? One of them suggested Lincoln.

Thus the village was christened Lincoln by Abraham Lincoln-with wstermelon’ juice! “I think you're making a mistake Nothing named Lincoln. as far as 1 know, ever amounted ttrmueh."

The 7th Infantry, for instance, which has adopted, "The Girl I Left Behind Me," flrat heard this tune played by the British hand during the battle of New Orleans in 1815. When the band of the 7th Infantry (then a drum and fife corps) caught the air, they played it also, and the tune was at once adopted " the regimental march of the 7th Infantry. The sev- enth was theonly regular _army regi- ment in that battle. The words were given to the regiment by an Irish of.. tleer captured during the New Orleans engagement. The regimental march of the 7th U. S; Cavalry, “Garry Owen," is first recorder as having been played " the battle of Washita. in 1868. It was played at dawn as the signal for the charge of the 7th Cavalry on Black Kettle’s Cheyenne FEATURES CADET PARADE Concerning the twenty-three march.. es being played 'this fall,. there are several interesting points. Three regi- ments have adopted songs to the tunes of "The Girl I Left Behind Mei." "Semper Fidelis," and “Annie Lan- rie." One regiment, the 42nd infan- try made up of enlisted men from Porto Rico, has for its march "Ecos de Borinquen," whose name indicates its origin, Borinquen, being the old Indian name for Porto Rico. Two reg- iments, the 43rd Infantry and the 11th Infantry, have adopted a march cell- ed "Le Regiment de Sembre at Meuse," in commemoration of their having fought dong these rivers dur- ing the World VII. One regiment, the 45th Infantry, stationed. in the Philippines, hes. adopted s march of Spanish origin called "Alerta Volun- tirios."

This custom was started by General, Stewart last summer and is being continued through the fall parades. It will form hereafter a feature of every cadet parade whenever possible. One purpose of this custom is to bring the corps of cadets into closer touch with the rest of the army.
