Mm REGULAR ARMY MEN SURPRISED AT THEIR ACCURACY WITH WELD ARTiULER^ ^ USE ACTUAL SHELLS IN CHILDISH FEARS VERY REAL Clirents Are Apt to Underestimate Their Effect on the Minds of the Little Ones. . The mother knew that her son had been afraid of the dark for years, but had thought him long cured* of tt be­ cause he always went up to bed at night alone with his younger brother. 80 she refused to go upstairs with him, or let his brother go, as Peter was amusing the company at that moment. Jack went out and was gone such a long time that finally the mother was alarmed and went to see what was the matter. She found the boy crouched half way up the stairs, slowly creep­ ing up, but plainly terrified. When he saw her .the lad started to cry con­ vulsively and said that something was hiding at the top of the stairs, ending fals statement with, "but you told me to go, mother, so I was going." It was the truest farm of bravery, because he Was slowly going right on up, although almost scared to death. Anything that might produce fear In the child's mind should be avoided like the plague, for it Is Just as disas­ trous to the child's mentality as some 4read disease might be to his body. Take, for Instance, the practice on the part of really kind-hearted par­ ents of throwing a child In the water to teach him to swim. This severe method may succeed in certain cases, but Its usual effect Is to teach the dtlld not only to dread and fear the water for yearss but also to lose his Confidence and trust In his parents. Be careful to keep fear from your Children's minds. v We've seen some women dressed so they couldn't stoop to conquer, or to 60 anything else. • Official Observers Declared the Work of the Batteries Exceeded Their Most Sanguine »4opes--Prepare for Auetin Hike--Men Survey Route. San Antonio, Tex.--The big voices which speak decisively In the'debates of modern warfare were talking among the hills of the government reserva­ tion at Leon Springs where the gun­ ners of the Illinois field artillery burst a few shells and stepped out of the maiden class. ' Actual shells--yes, sir. Oniy a few, to be sure, because the government hates to burn money, but the theoret­ ical gunners stepped up with admir­ able sangfroid--it takes an artillerist for that---and "broke 'em over" In a manner most surprising to anyone who figured they couldn't shoot. No scores were available, but little puffs of smoke, bursting high up near the rim of the mountainiike popcorn in a skillet, showed that the target was getting its shower bath of lead. Batteries A, B and O were using shrapnel. D, E and F were blasting the mountainside with solid shot. Of­ ficers of the Illinois artillery and regu­ lar army observers declared the work of the batteries exceeded their jooet sanguine hopes. The, batteries were sent out from camp through a hilly terrain, almost every foot of which has obstruction#;' Their animals are not ol<f timers of the gun service, but raw youngsters that have been broken within the last few weeks and have not wholly sob- scribed to the lesson. Colonel Allen, assisted by Lieut. Col. L. R. Dougherty, was In charge of the gun practice. He says that the bat­ teries will be worked bard at firing practice and maneuvers every day un­ til the 80-mile march to Austin is be­ gun. Preparations are' being made for the Austin hike. Maj. Lawrence Marsh of the First battalion engineers sent 28 men and an army truck to make a topographical map of the road, to Austin. Hie •orgHOizatiofc of the motor truck companies of the army, to which five officers of the Illinois regiments have already been assigned, is becom­ ing better and better each day. Inci­ dentally the number of trucks and the number of men employed to drive and look after them Is constantly increas­ ing. Starting with civilian drivers, hired at $100 a month, .there is an ever in­ creasing tendency to bring them around to the viewpoint of the soldier. ;In some cases the civilian drivers have volunteered to help In perfecting their own organization along military linear Lieut. Barry Kingman, detached from the First Illinois infantry, to Command motor truck company No. 42, called on his men to volunteer to learn some of the footwork of the sol­ dier, and they responded without pro­ test. His object is to have the black- putteed men under him able to march to mess without stepping on each oth­ er's heels and do other like tasks in their dally routine with the same precision as a soldier Ilk tibe ranks would.

" After a record hike iff St miles tor # National Guard organization the First Illinois field artillery anived at the range here In good condition shortly after daybreak. The horses were wa­ tered and fed and put on the picket line, while the men prepared camp and did many chores before taking a few hours' rest. Col.vCharlea M. Allen Is proud of the showing made by his men. On the Journey, which started from Camp Wilson at 6 p. m., four batteries had hot meals cooked In rolling kitch­ ens, when the regiment halted for its midnight lunch. Through J. Ogden Armour and other patrons batteries D, E and F received the American type cooker Just before the hike, Bat­ tery C already had the Canadian type. Subcallber and smoke bomb practice was the program with the artillery­ men. The soldiers also have been fir­ ing three-inch shells from their field pieces at ranges from one to fofr miles. Develop Tastes fee Art. In spite of hikes, long enough to pot the civilian or the "rookie" out of com­ mission, and plenty of drilling and other hard work, the men of the First Illinois brigade find time to develop their tastes for art and literature. One of the most active along this line Is Eugeue Califano, private of Company E, First regiment, who Is do­ ing considerable painting. One of his scenes that has won the admiration of Capt Hamlet Ridgway and others of the company Is a painting of the camp. Sergt. Joseph Erwln of Company K. whose hobby In Chicago was music and art. Is another who shows flgns of developing his art. He Is oue of those whom officers point to as sol-, dlers who have developed as fast in a muscular way here as they did with the arts at home. Packages From Heme. More packages from home thin for weeks past have been received in the last few days by the First Illinois brig­ ade. The gifts are welcome messages to the men. showing that home folks have not forgotten them. In the great quantity of packages was one sent to Maj. John V. Clinnin by Charles Sellers of Chicago. It con­ tained packages of cigarettes, smoking tobacco and like supplies. They distributed among the men.

Shew Swing of Regular. In the Banks of the First brigade on a recent hike, there was the Jaunty swing of the regulars, the fresh, cer­ tain step of the man who never tires. The two weeks at Leon Springs did wonders for the Illinois soldiers, both In hardening tbeiu and In bringing out the spirit of the soldier. The lessons taught by the first long hike were well learned and were of Inestimable value In producing the present condition of the men, both of mind and of body. NOTES OF GUARD8. Drum Major James Murphy of the Seventh, who takes part In all the hikes und always is ready to keep the hand piaytng, has oniy one complaint. Walk as be will, his weight won't go down.

"On Wisconsin" was struck by the Seventh regiment band, under Drum Major James Murphy, when the Illi­ nois soldiers gave the courtesy of the road to the men from the other state. There was cheering in both ra^ks for the band. After the Wisconsin reglttieiit passed the Seventn regiment and Col. Daniel Moriarty and his staff they were giv­ en a greeting by Col. J. B. Sanborn and the men and the band of the First regiment And It was the same when they reached the rear guard, the Sec­ ond, under CoL John J. Garrlty. Dunne Lauds Militia. "Illinois is proud of yea,' Dunne shouted these parting words to the members of the First Illinois cav­ alry Under command of CoL Milton J. Foreman, as he stood on the platform of the observation car. The governor. Mrs. Dunne and his staff left here for Springfield after having inspected and reviewed "the boys from Illinois" at Camp Wilson, at San Antomo and Brownsville. Governor Dunne bid the soldiers good-by, amid rousing cheers. He said that he was more than satis­ fied with the result of his visit. Governor Dunne and his party, which was composed of Gen. and Mrs. Frank S. Dickson, CoL James K. Finn, CoL M. R. Kelly and Lieut. Col. Jacob Frank, are homeward bound, by way o" New Orleans, In an address to the soldiers. Gov­ ernor Dunne said: "Illinois is proud of you. You are the men who are up­ holding the nation.

'I never will spend an­ other cent with you as long a* I live.' Woman Is built for fortitude, not re- sponslbility.

BRAVE SOLDIER OF FORTUNE Grimaldi, Who Drove the Moore Frfaa the Mediterranean, Given Monaoe as His Reward. < One of the many disappointments of the present war is almost total ab­ sence of thrilling stories concerning the soldier of fortune. Even the "for­ eign legion" of France, that is ,made up of dare-devils from all over tike world, has little or nothing In the way of romance to offer and the romantic spirits have always been the ones that attached themselves to the French banner.
