In speaking of the uniforms worn by the soldiers In the regular army and the militia do not apeak of them as khaki. It Is Incorrect says the Kan sas City Star, because the soldiers do not wear khaki, and, besides, the sol diers are not at all partial to the word. The uniforms worn now are describ ed by the war department as “Cotton, O. D." or "Wool O. D.” The “O. D." means olive drab-and la descriptive of the color of the uniforms. Cotton uni forms are worn In the summer and wool In the winter. Khaki la a word of East Indian ori gin, meaning dusty, and comes from the word khak, meaning dusty. I t is a day or dust colored doth, originally coming from India. It was first worn by the native British troops and later b f all British troops tarring abroad or oil campaign. I t was later adopted by the Cnlted States government for both field and colonial service because of its service able qualities and because it was sup posed to make It harder for the enemy to detect soldiers. The color of the uniforms was supposed to merge Into the color of the ground. Khaki Is lighter In color than olive drab, and the khaki cloth is said to be superior to the cotton uniforms now be ing worn In the army. ling at 1 p. m., the following property Horses, Cattle, Etc. • lg 5 weight 1200 iiing 3 “ 1300 ming 1 in spring The boy Galilei, sitting with hun dreds of others In the Cathedral of Pisa on a Sunday morning, saw an at tendant draw-aslde the heavy banging lamp to light it and then let It swing.

Its bulb shaped domes and mlnaret-Uke belfries remind the visitor of the ori e n t I t seems more like a Moham medan than a Christian temple. In the facade are scores of variously colored marble columns, each one a m.onolite and an possessing an eventful history. Some are from Ephesus, others t from Smyrna, others from Constantinople and more than one eyeo from Jerusa lem. St. ^Mack's is thej treasure house of Venice, a' place of pride as well as pfayer.
