Between 800 and 900 enlisted me and officers of the guard will b on the floor of the armory during muster. For the past seven months, the o armory has been undergoing exten sive remodeling to meet the demand of the present day. When it was erected, it was intended to house -six organizations with companies o from 40 to 65 men. Now 13 organi y.ations are quartered there with companies numbering from 65 to 90 men. The new quarters were planned and construction supervised by Cap tain Lawrence A. Milner, regimental adjutant, 162d infantry, and custo dian of the armory. On "the first floor the headquar ters and offices have been enlarged and remodeled and a clubroom for the enlisted personnel has been pro vided. In this clubroom are pool ta bles, a fireplace, reading and writing tables and comfortable chairs. A women's parlor also has been pro vided, where wives and friends of guardsmen may "visit" while the latter drill. Band Room Constructed. On the second floor a new band practice room has been constructed across the entire west end of the drill hall, being 86 feet long by 30 feet wide and one of the largest and best on the coast for this pur pose. It was needed badly, as there has never been an adequate place provided for practice of the 6o-piece t2d infantry band. Company quar ters on this, floor have been cleaned and painted. An old storeroom on the third floor has been converted into four large company quarters, and new storerooms have been provided just under the roof. Every foot of a vailable space is utilized under the new arrangement. Headquarters company under Cap- tain James tr. Alexander is pro vided with a telephone and radio room on the roof, where a fine radio set is installed, utilizing aerials stretched across the roof.

(Special.) The Oregon public service commis sion today sent to the Pacific Tele phone & Telegraph company a ques tionnaire asking for a tabulation of the corporation's revenues in Ore gon in 1921. This information will be used, members of the commission said, in the rehearing of the tele phone rate case, which will start in Portland, October 2. EWS that the war department is about to loosen " up on the Ironclad regulation for the salute, as announced from Wash ington in dispatches this week, will recall to hundreds of thousands of ex-service men, especially those who served overseas, those days when saluting was one of the best little things "the army" did. It is to laugh now, but then well, it was no laughing matter. Not all officers of the service were paying as, much attention to salutes as some, but it was unsafe to pass one ' up, as perchance he might be one of those who never encumbered his right arm while on the streets or permitted his eyes to overlook a passing uniform. In Paris, particularly, and in other of the larger cities of France in general, the salute was what a well-known man of letters said to the play it was "the thing." Wearing the uniform had its drawbacks in those days, as is' well illustrated by the following: Ins one of the welfare headquar ters ; in Paris one day, several doughboys put in an appearance and looked about as though in search of rest. "Can we do anything for you?' queried a worker. Yes, we'd like to stay here awhile," was the reply. Are you enjoying your leave in Paris?" was the next question. "Yes and no," came the reply in doughboy frankness. And why not?" Well, if you don't go out and walk, you don't see anything of Paris, and if you do, you don't see anything but officers. By the time you " travel five minutes, you've saluted till you're sick; you can't afford to pass 'em up, or you'll be explainin' to an M. P. So what the heck's a feller goin' to do?" The welfare worker was sym pathetic, for his experiences had been identical. All who wore the uniform were "meat" for the of ficer who craved the salute. One day in Paris a welfare worker was walking along the Boulevard de Italien, thinking more of his duties than of officers, when he heard a stern voice, commanding him to hait. "Come back here, you," said the gruff voice, which was attached to an important individual in uniform, with an eagle perched on his shoulder." "Yes. - sir." said the - welfare worker meekly. "What the h is the big idea of you passing me up?" demanded the colonel, in a rage; That was a poser, for if the poor fellow said he didn't see such an important army figure, he was "in Dutch," .and if he said he saw him but didn't salute, he was likewise to the bad. Finally he made the best he could of it by simply say ing, "Pardon me." "Well, you birds are required to salute officers, aren t you?" snapped the colonel. "I didn't know we were, sir," lied the welfare man. "Well, I'll teach you some disci pline," sai dthe colonel. "I'll make you know. Now, I want to see you snap into it and salute." And the welfare man did. to the best of his unmilitary ability. "Now," said the colonel, haught ily, "run along and when you meet an officer after this, don't forget to salute," A laughable feature of this little stunt was the fact that, in the space of time required for it, the colonel passed up dozens of men In uniform who would have given him salutes had he not been so occupied. Then there was that clever gen eral order, as will be recalled by overseas men, which required the salute to be given all passing auto mobiles on the highways, lest some officer ba riding therein and be subjected to the humiliation of not being saluted. 1 1 52 - lie :ISfteiiP TCIjE TjAIfDS TO BE OPENED i OX OCTOBER 7.

THE OREGONIAN NEWSBUREAU, Washington, D. C, Sept. 23. Ap proximately 10.000 acres of tule lands under the Klamath irrigation project will be opened to entry on October, 27, Representative Sinnott was advised today by the reclama tion service. The land will include 174 farm units, for which ex-service men will have the preference right of entry. Representative Sinnott was fur ther informed that a commission consisting of a representative of the bureau of soils of the agricul ture department, a representative of the geological survey and a rep resentative of the reclamation serv ice in October would make an in vestigation to determine whether 15,000 additional acres of Tule lake were sufficiently dry to be openeu to entry.
