ConsrZarrtfne 7f. JerJzrt&, Commanding Marine BarracffS. BREMERTON NAVY-YARD, May 5. -t (Special.) The marine section of the Oregon Naval Militia Is now comfortably quartered at the United States Marine barracks, Puget Sound Navy-yard. They are rapidly being whipped Into shape by Gunnery Sergeant Aiken, assisted by Corporal Bahr, both of the regular United States Marine Corps, and they expect to be turned over for duty within a few weeks' time. The life of a reoruit is a strenuous one, but any able-bodied young Ameri can boy with lots of good, red blood in his veins and not afraid of hard work would be sure to enjoy it The day begins at 6:15, when the bugle sounds "first call." "Reveille" at 6:30 is sounded by four trumpets and a drum In unison and the noise like a combina tion of a cavalry charge and a bat tery of 76s. Between "reveille" and "assembly," 6:46, the embroyo marine must clean up and make his bed. The Oregonians, after the first few days, found that by far the wiser plan was to turn at "first call" and not wait for "rev." Roll Called at Assembly. At assembly the roll is called and all men who are not away from the bar racks on leave must be there to answer to their names. From 6:45 to 6:55 is used for physical-drill, in order to have everyone start the day wide awake and with unlimbered muscles. Breakfast is at 7, and the boys have absolntely no complaint to make as re gards the quality or quantity of food served. Every article served is sci entifically selected In order to give the greatest food value, as what Uncle Bam needs is strong men men able to "stand the gaff." From 7:20 to 8 is given over to police work; that is, getting everything in and around the barracks cleaned and pol ished so as. to make the best showing possible when the officer of the day makes his dally round of inspection at 10:30. The marines are noted for their cleanliness both of person and quarters, and the man who throws rubbish or papers around might Just as well report at onse to the brig, as he will be there sooner or later. Drill Call la at 8i30. The "first drill call" Is sounded at 8:30 and every recruit reports to the parade ground prepared for a good, strenuous three-hour workout. At pres ent the boys are learning all the dif ferent movements a company can be put through and are. receiving a thor ough course - in the manual of arms. Later they will be taught trench dig ging and will be sent to the rifle range for a course in small arms firing. Dinner is at 12 and, needless to say, the boys are all ready for it when the bugle sounds "mess " call." The "second drill call" is at 1:15, when the movements that have been taught In the-morning, as well as a general review of all that has gone be fore, are repeated. The last part of the afternoon Is given over to signal work -and gun cleaning and learning the nomenclature of the rifle. Supper Is at 6. By the time "tattoo" ls: sounded everyone Is ready torrawl into their beds, with the exception of a few who have letters to write or a few more hands of cards to play to finish the game. . Very few of the Oregon boys, except the sergeants, whose duty it Is to turn out the lights, have heard "taps," which ia blown at 10 P. M., as they are generally at the "port arms. right by squads" of slumberland by that time. Review la Held on Monday. The regular routine of the recruit's day is broken up on Monday by the commanding officer's Inspection and re view of troops, and on Saturday, when work is discontinued afnoln and not resumed until Monday morning. Sun days may be spent at Seattle or any of the nearby places as long as the man reports back at the barraoks at 8 P. M. Tuesday evening church services are ' conducted In the barracks by Chaplain Thompson, U. S. N., and all who care to may attend. It Is surprising, all that Is done by the regular marine officers and enlisted men for the Oregon marine company. Everyone, from Colonel Constantino M. Perkins and Sergeant-Major Holt down to the privates, do everything in their power to help and instruct them, and the boys are trying to show their ap preciation by putting their whole minds and souls into their new work. The commanding officer of the bar racks at the Navy-yard, Bremerton, Colonel C. M. Perkins.

On January 1, 1917, California registrations of cars costing more than $500 were as follows: 19.147 to (1.58517.823 to $1.835 16.250 to $ 085 9.4S4 to $1,865 6.29S to $3,910 0.06t to $1,750 4,675 to $2,250 8,055 to $3,035 3,485 to $1,583 3.330 Itt STUDEBAKER Snd A line of car priced from $ 650 3rd A line of cars priced from $ 660 4A A car priced .from$ 620 6th A car priced..... ...from $ 835 Cth A car priced from $2,210 7th A line of can priced from $ 87 8th A line of cars priced from $1,250 9th A car priced from $1,650 10th A line of can priced from $ 550 These are official figures. They prove Studebaker's leadership beyond the question of doubt. They prove that motor-wise Calif ornians, like all other Westerners, prefer Studebakers. They prove that in California, where climate permits the continuous use of a car from one year's end to another, where they test and prove cars on the longest, hardest, hilliest drives in the whole United States, Studebakers stand up and give the service. Because Studebakers develop masterful power. Because in ratio to power Studebakers are most economical in their consumption of gasoline. , Because lightness with strength, and the perfect balance of the Stndebaker Chassis enable own ers frequently to get from 8,000' to 10,000 miles on a single set of tires. Because Studebaker accessibility reduces inspec tion, adjustment and repair costs to a minimum. Because Studebaker repair parts are always ob tainable at convenient coast branch houses at relatively low prices. Because in nearly every town there is a dealer equipped to give the systematic service for which Studebaker dealers are famous. Because in ratio to first cost Studebakers bring unusually high prices as used cars. If. the judgment of other Westerners who have had experience with Studebakers means any thing to you you will let us give you a Stude baker demonstration before you decide on what car to buy.
