OF INDUCEMENTS Xdltor'a ncte: The following article, pointing out advantage whlcn Toune men may ftnd In the United States army, was written by Sergeant W. M. Kleinschmldt, recruiting aer Reant. with offlcea In the city hall He will be glad to answer any in quiries regarding enlistment. The United States army consists of Infantry (which Include the tanks), cavalry, field artillery, coast artillery, air corps, corps of engineers, chemical warfare service, medical de partment, quartermaster corps (which Includes motor tranaport service), ordnance department, finance de partment, army motion picture ser vice, signal corps, military police, and various administrative and ex ecutive branches of the war de partment. Pay varies from $21 to $187.50 per Tnonth. All men must start at the lowest rate of pay. Any raise received la determined by their worth to the government. Good men are certain to receive promotion and increasea pay, In addition to the base pay enllated men get an Increase of 5 per cent for over 20 years. Many privates and nrtvates first class may be appointed specialists on account of their knowl edge and practice or special traa. and receive monthly additional pay from 3 to 30 extra. Pay of the armv and additional allowances, is comparatively the same as any other branch of military service. The government provides room, board, clothing, medical and dental eare, and recreation, without cost' E-ceptional opportunity for physical and mental development which will be of benefit to the soldier In later life, will be found In the army. The government furnlshea free, ex cellent food, well prepared, palatable, served In abundance and calculated to build strength and health. The government furnlshea every soldier with an ample money allow ance for all clothing needs. By using care a soldier may save a portion of his three-year allowance, and this saving. In own, Is paid to him upon his discharge. In case of accident or serious per manent Injury while In the army. due to no fault of the eoldler, which Jneapacltatea him for active service, be will be discharged and Instructed to apply for a pension. Pensions vary In amount, depending on the degree of disability, and run until the dis ability Is removed. After 30 years' service In the army soldiers are retired, some very young, on three-quarters of the pay they were drawing at the date of their retirement, plus specified allowances, for the rest of their lives. Medical and dental treatment are furnished the soldier whenever ncc easary. hospital care la also Included. It Is the big effort of the army to train men mentally, morally, and physically, so that they will make better and stronger citizens when re turned to civil lire. With this In view, the army maintains for the benefit of Its soldiers, schools, shops. tc, where a man may learn a va riety of trades which will help him later In life, such as that of an auto mechanic, radio operator, clerk, typist, etc. These schools are not compulsory, but men are encouraged to attend them. Nowhere In the world can a man get better physical training than in the army. This training la calculated to build up the moderately weak man and strengthen the stronger man. Medical authorities lay great atress on army physical training. Some of them go so far as to say that on account of the training, one enlistment will add from three to five yeara to the life or the average young man. Ttiere are usually a few vacancies In the army bands for qualified men who possess musical talent. Uncle Sam has troops stationed not only In every section of the continental United States, but also In Pannma Canal Zone, Hawaiian Islands. Philippine Islands. Alaska, and China. Generally speaking the applicant for enlistment can dictate the destination on his own travel order, particularly with reference to Panama, Hawaii and the Philippines. Vacancies for Alaska, China, Philip pines and Hawaii are now available- Enlisted men under 33 years oi ape who pass the necessary exami nation, may receive an appointment to a catletshlp at the United States mllitnry academy at West Point, Enlisted men may likewise be ap pointed commissioned officers on ex actly the same status as the gradu ates provided they are between the ages of 31 and 30 yeara old and pass the necessary examinations. Furloughs or vacatlona are not guaranteed but are usually granted at the rate of one month per year on full pay and allowances, and in case of an emergency a soldier is always allowed to return to his home fcr a reasonable length of time (on full pay and allowances). The usual enlistment period Is for three years. The government realizes, however, that for good reasons such aa legitimate offer of employment In civil life, some men may want to terminate their military enlist ment period. To meet thla condition authority may be granted a man to he honorably discharged by pur chase at the end of the first year under normal conditions.

They were shown how every denomination of currency from the one dollar to the 9100,000 bill, also they were shown how postage stamps are printed and mede ready for the public. Following the visit to this building the scout were given free time in which to buy some souvenirs or to see some other buildings In Wash ington, D. C. ' Before train time all the scouts went to see the United States Justice building, one of the most beautiful sights in Washington, D. C. It is constructed of pure white mtrble. which Is so bright when the sun shines on tt that a person can hardly look straight at It. The train, bearing the scout pull ed out at 4:30 p. m. headed for Chi cago as the first stop. States paased through on this stretch. Included : Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi ana and Illinois. At Chicago, the scouts checked their baggage at the Knickerbocker hotel and after breakfast marched ! to the Shedd Aquarium and the Field i Museum of Natural History. Several hours were spent In these two build- I Inge. Main attraction was the aquar- I turn. At 3 p. m'. a bus picked up the i scouts from the museum for a two and a half-hour tour through the , city. Many historical sites and parks were seen. Anybody that has not seen i these parks has missed part of Chi cago. There are about 300 altogether. The aquarium and museum are lo cated on the former World's fair site. All that remains of what was the World's fair la one of the large sky ride towers. This Is now being used for an observation tower from which Chicago and parts of four states can be seen. At 9:30 p. m. the boys entrained for San Francisco. company.

Lunch on this dsy will be eaten at a beach hotel. In the afternoon the scout execu tives of San Francisco are planning a hike for the boys. From the list of things to be" done In San Francisco, you can see why they are anxious to get there. Mr. Hull got a telegram at Cobre, Nevada, from the Standard oil com pany, in San Francisco, telling Just what we are going to do. The boys passed their time In many different ways when traveling on the two-day stretch of flat country in the mld-weat. In one scat you might see Chris Baker asleep. Here is Reed Cox polishing shoes, or there Is Walter Kresse arguing with Dale Throck morton about a certain game In which Kresse says he Is absolutely right. Many checkerboards have sprung up along the way and there are about a half dozen checkerboards on the train now. Also there re two chess boards present. One of the fa vorite battle cries 1 given by some scout parading -up and down the aisle of the train with the checker board under his arm 'and crying, "who'll challenge the champion to a game of checkers?" Many of the boys also pass their time In reading magazines. .
