A Second Station Is in a Tent Out- side the Main Bullding--Harvest for Red Cross, There is one booth at the fair which is attracting no end of ilten- tion, and for the first time the Kings- ton fair can boast of having a com- plete wireless exquipment on exhibi- tion. The equipment is that of the School of Signalling at the camp, and Sergt, Inst. Hicks and his class are reaping much money for the Red Cross Society by their work. In the main building there is a booth in which the full sending and receiving wireless apparatus is on exhibition. Here an operator sits and takes the messages being sent by visitors to the fair and sends them to another tent in the yard outside. The charge is ten cents for each mes- sage, and the Red Cross shoyld get a harvest of dimes for the enterprise of the wireless school. In addition to the wireless appara- tus Capt. EB. W.

"C" Battery, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, is appealing for re- cruits to the artillery service by a campaign now being started. One very enterprising piece of work was the erection of a tent near the start- ars' stand at the fair grounds and from the platform on which the tent is erected there are streamers and flags and pictures that should in- spire should-be recruits that *"C" Battery, R.C.H.A. makes an except- ional offer.

BOMBING SCHOOL HAS AN IN. TERESTING DISPLAY OF THINGS Various' Kinds of Grenades and Ways of Throwing Them Are Demonstrated the Public. To the right of the main entrance of the main building at the fair grounds is one of the most interest- ing exhibitions every shown to the public of this distriet. It was fur- nished by the School of Bombing and Trench Warfare at Barriefleld Camp, and is in charge of Lieut. W. K. Macnee and Sergt. Tucker. The first exhibit is the West spring trench gun, that throws bombg right into the enemy trenches. The gun is propelled by nine coiled springs, and is very powerful. The instrument was built at the school at Barriefield, and is an exact dupli- cate of that in use in the trenches. Beside it there is a trench cata- pult. Long and thick rubber elastics act in throwing a bomb in the same way that the well-known boy cata- pult works. This, however, is much more powerful, being probably six feet high. There is a crank for stretching the elastics, and the mis- sile to be thrown is sent forward when a trigger is touched. On a board in the centre of the booth are many relics of the front, being grenades of various kinds, There is the "G. 8. No. 1," Hale's No. 2" hand grenade, "Hale's No. 3" rifle grenade, 'Mills' No. 5" hand grenade, 'Mills' No. 5" rifle grenade, and a mushroom head, "Hale's No. 20" rifie grenade, British handmade jam tin grenades, German rifle gre- nades, and on top of the board is a gass helmet that neutralized the ef- fects of the deadly German gas. Three drawings of grenades that were made by Sergt. J. B. Hancock, are shown. To the right of the board on which the grenades are shown are two very interesting objects. One is a minature section of trench com- plete with dug-outs, etc. The other is a battery of five rifles that can be used to throw bombs into.a neigh- boring trench.

HEMMING a THE SCHOOL OF COOKERY AN INTERESTING EXHIBITION AT KINGSTON FAIR GROUNDS Sergt.-Major Rolfe and Staff Sergt. Brown Are in Charge and Showing Public How Soldiers Cook. Sergt.-Major Inst. Rolfé is in charge of an exhibition at the Indus- trial Fair that shows the public the work being accomplished by the ool of Cookery of the Army Ser- vic8 Corps at Barrfefleld. The public should remember that this school is the first to be established in Canada and after consistently hard work against tremendous odds, Major J. Hamilton and Lieut. V. C. Kerrison, with Sergt.-Major Rolfe and his in- structors, were able to put it on a footing that showed its value to such an extent that other military camps re following the example. There ve been officers and men at Barrie- field from several different Canadian camps to take the course and they returned to their units to spread the knowl had 'gained. It'is this school which is exhibiting at the fair grounds and it is indeed an in- teresting sight, " The school started in on Tuesday morning and in a short time had a fleld kitchen finished and food cook- ing for the Bayonet Fighting and Physical Training squad under Lieut. J. Bews, the stretcher-bearers of Queen's Field Ambulance Corps and the wireless staff. The gle clay trench was made by Sergt.-Major. Rolfe and Staff Sergt. Brown and the class and with eleven kettles there could have been sufficient food cook- ed for 140 men, Today (Wednesday) it is planned to have a kettle trench operated by five men made. This will show how the food is cooked for soldiers on the march. Tomorrow (Thursday) the public will see how the soldiers can cook a good square meal in their own mess tins. The exhibition is in the centre fleld and located close to the track at the west side of the grounds, Camp Notes | Co.

Almost from time immemorial British soldiers have marched to battle to the tune of the drum or the skirling of the pipes. Perhaps, how- ever, the most interesting of the early records of martial music is that concerning an episode in 1333, the date of the Battle of Halidon Hill, when "the Englysche mynstrelles beaten their tabors and blewen this tury, the two - regiments Guards having them in 1795. kettlo-drums Hi nfl £ eiEiEE yl if : | i i iis Fy £F i H Bh un | id i 23 OFFICERS RETURNING UNABLE TO GO OVERSEAS FROM VALCARTIER WITH BATTALIONS Have Reported To Barriefield Camp Headquarters and Will Have To Wait For New Battalions, When the 130th, 136th, 139th and 146th Battalion had to go overseas with only sufficient men for three 4 companies to each battalion the re- sult was a number of officers could not accompany their units.

This should certainly put an end to professional deserters, or men who blow that they would rather go to prison than fight for their country. They will have to serve at the end of their prison term.
