Chambers, US. Army, who is station- ed in the same Department as Charles Fisher and myself. In writ- ing same he says that there was seven thousand and fifty men dis- charged last month and sixty-three recruits to take their place. Irs statement is correct in regards to the small percentage of replace- ments being sent to this Department (with the majority of same 'being re- turned to the U. S. tor discharge either for minority, disabuity or de- pendency) but relative to the large numbers of man being discharged, his imagination must have got the. best of him, as the total strength of the Department does not amount to those figures, including Otticerts, Warrant Officers, field clerks and enlisted men. I think Joe must have been drinking some of that Panama Three Dagger Rum, when he wrote that let- ter, the same as the fellow from the 14th Infantry when he wrote the at- tached letter which Charles Fisher is enclosing. Dear Pather:--- In regards to so1diering, from my point ot view, I would sooner do same in this Department, than I would in the majority of posts and garrisons in the USA. We would like to hear from any of the Old Bunch that worked at the Beach in the summer of 1918 and 19, and sure Would appreciate it very much.

Cooks use steel boats and are dressed in asbestos clothing.

Twenty large street sprinklers are used to place syrup on the cakes, coffee is made in a. 6000 gallon tank and pumped to the tables by 17 centrifugal pumps. 10 five ton rollers are used to roll the hatter.

Chambers meant "to draw the long bow" in his letter which appeared in our col- umns of October 17, 1923, relative to the number of men discharged from the Canal Zone Department: but more probably was merely repeating "rumors heard" such as we well know are vastly exaggerated in their pas- sage from one barrack' room to the other, in the .servicer‘Editor. "Radio telephones are use by the mess sergeant, who also uses a mo- torcycle in travelling around the din- ing hall and kitchen. All the cooks wear gas-masks. Ford trucks haul the silverware.

If anything like 90 per cent. A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT (By S, W. Straus, President American Society for Thrift) United States Secretary of Labor Davis recently stated that 90 per cent. of the youths turned out by the edu- cational system of the country are equipped only for the socalled "white- collar" occupations, which can pro- vide jobs for only about 10 per cent. of them. No 'graver injustice could be done a young man than to send him forth to a field of endeavor for which he is unsuited both by nature and by edui- cational equipment. Fortunately, steps are being taken to correct this misplacement of labor through the establishment of vocation- al schools under the Federal and State Vocat‘onal Educati.on acts, and we are told by Secretary Davis that some 500,000 potential or actual workers are thus being reached. But this is not enough. The root of the trouble lies in popular 'misconceptions regarding the dignity and honor of labor. There is too much false pride in the matter; too many people who seem to feel that they are above working in field or factory; too many who fail to ap- preciate the nobility of work well done no matter in what realm of life it is performed. In the home, in the school, in the church or wherever else influences are brought to bear which affect the mental aht'tude of youth, deep thought should (be given to these prob- lems of practical education. inadequate educational backgroun FIVE
