"ROOKIES"' BREAK RECORD
FOR "MAKING AND BREAKING
(United Press)
Port Royal, S. C, Oct. 22. Al
though young men training to become
"soldiers of the sea" are being rushed
through their courses rapidly, they re
gain efficiency throughout, as is
shown by the record for "making and
breaking" camp, established by a com
pany of Marine "rookies'" at this sta
tion today. The routine calls for
pitching shelter tents, digging en
trenchments, mounting guard, cooking
dinner, inspection, the gathering of
equipment, and preparation for re
turn. They accomplished the required
tusk in 51 minutes. The previous rec
ord was held by a company of veter
ans now serving in Haiti. Theiir time
was 5 51-2 minutes.

The story of "What Money Can't

CARR FURNITURE GO.
New York, Oct. 22. When the
United States entered the war last
April, I was pursuing my duties as
traveling passenger agent for the
Delaware & Hudson Company with
headquarters in New York City.
Today, I pend an average of 16
hours a day in the interest of Uncle
Sam, not as a soldier but as a civilian
worker. Like most men who had spe
cialized on one certain line of work,
I pondered at the time war was de
clared as to just what I could do to
help.
After much thought, I decided that
in as much a the railroads were the
third arm of National defense, the
Army and Navy being virtually help
less without them, I could best serve
my country by sticking to the line of
work in whicfe my training had been
secured.
Shortly after that decision, I was
sent to the tnnmng camp at Platts
burg to represent the railroads sup
plying that camp and to co-operate in
every way with the army officials to
secure the prompt hand!(ng and dis
patch of troop trains and supplies.
Since that time I have been putting
in an average of IB hours a day for
Uncle Sam and I hope I have been
able to accomplish a great deal in the
way of relieving the camp officers of
transportation arrangements.
Mv principal duty is to co-operate
as the representative of the railroads
: with the commander and quartermas
! ter in transportation matters. My
1 work in the main runs about as fol
lows: Each morning I check up the
location o' camp supplies en route,
' making a report in the afternoon to
the commanding officer, so that they
may keep in touch with minimum ef
fort with each car of hay, coal, pota
toes or other supplies for the camp.
Should a movement of troops be
contemplated, it is my duty to deter
mine the number of cars required oth
er than tourist cars, the number of
persons who will travel, the amount
of baggage and all other details neces
sary to enable the railroad officials to
act with diligence in the assembling
and placing of this equipment.
A representative similar to myself
is stationed at every camp of import
ance in the country and is doing his
bit to keep the tremendous amount of
freight and troop train movements un
der wav without interfering with the
regular commercial traffic of the
country. The job is not a sinecure,
but knowing that it is in the best in
tercsts of my country, it gives me sat
isfaction to serve.
