RAIN STEADY FEATURE OF CAMP KNOX Kentucky Mud Proves Real Thing for Indiana Boys on Hike. BT DONALD D. HOOVER. Staff Correspondent of the Times. CAMP KNOX. Ky., Aug. 13.—The entire personal of the Citizens Military Training Camp and of the National Guard here ia getting used to frequent soaking* by the raining and to tramping through sticky Kentucky mud. Between showers they are learning the use of weapons of war. A demonstration of the use of infantry auxiliary weapons and the French 75s was given. The use of the hand grenade as an offensive weapon, barrage and concentration fire of rifle grenades, exhibitions of the 37 mm. gun, the light mortar, and tne 75s preceded the real show, machine gun demonstrations. A greater part of the time was devoted to familiariring the candidates with all phases of machine gun work. Traversing was illustrated by the use of tracer bulleU. which Were also used to Illustrate the trajectory of the gun A tracer bullet is one, the nose of which is filled with phosphorus, whose path through the air may be discerned. GIN SHOWN DESTRUCTIVE. One of the most '.mposing of the many uses of the gun was its marvelous destructive effect. Two guns cut down a good sized tree in less than a minute. The excellent work of the Regular Army machine gunners was applauded by the candidates. A still more impressive sight was revealed when the machine funs were used as anti-aircraft weapons. Conditions under which Are would be directed upon airplanes were simulated. Balloons were set adrift and allowed to float for a considerable distance before the fire was directed as them. Tracer ammunition was us-ed here and the gunners again showed advantageously ly hitting nearly every balloon. Other uses of machine guns demonstrated were bsrrages. bauds of tire, belts of Are and enfilading fire with one gun. During the encampment there has not been such a wet day as Thursday. First evidence of rain showed itself just before th t conclusion of machine gun fire. This was finished in a light drizzle. By the time companies were formed and ready to march off a steady sheer of water was pouring on every one. Only one organization brought raincoats. These men were enviously eyed by their less fortunate comrades. Companies 1 were marched off the field end down a road in which the mud was three inches deep. And it was real mud: not our In dlana liquid. This was the mud that stuck. After a wade of about nve minute's a company with mess kits out was sighted. At first the menwondered who the idots were, but when told to line up for “chow" a solution was presented. STORM KEEPS CP VIOLENTLY. The storm had not abated in the least and a mess was served by drlpprig K P.’E. Wet bread, beons. good snd hot. with water, and apples, strived and wet composed the bill of fare. Men took ad- j vantage of every place under vbich they would sheltered from the shower, which had increased instead of abating. Trees and the trucks were used to eat under. Dishes were washed by tilting the bat and letting the wnte, run iurthe its. After tbe meal, companies w again formed in the mad. a sea of mud. The command “Fall In" could be rckco liter ally, there was plenty of water No one t.cked. instead a splendid spirit was manifested. Going back to tbe camp proper, the men gang the regular songs for wet occasions. "Indiana" was. of course, on the fF>ng progra- .. Every , place where sing, ig Is permitted. "In- | diana" la sung. On return ro barracks the ‘antedates discarded their wet uniforms and put ca dry clothe*, s. ,ne of them. Many of tbe clothes of the studeefs were in the laundry. TV-re are laundries in Indianapolis Every; variety of clothing was to be seen ranging from pink pa jamas to high school caps, bathing suits and raincoats. FAREWELL DANCE TO BE GIVEN. A big farewell dance will he given next Saturday night. Many friends of th' candidates will come from Lou’svllle for this occasion. Frldaer. specialized Instruction In machine gun*.

Toward the end of tbe camp, candl dates will be given opportunities to join the organised reserves of the United States Army. Thl* is a real'y great chance as the r qnirements for enlistments are that tbe applicant shall have served in the National Guard for three year*. The course at this camp has been deemed ‘equivalent to that training. Colonel Cosby, one of the general officers of the Military Trainin'- < amps Association, addressed the students the other evening on the purpose of tins organization.

SNAGS SIGHTED IN ACQUISITION OF LAKE BY CITY Park Commissioners Regard Method of Financing Not Practical. Practical difficulties which the board | of park commissioners face in the proj posed establishment of a lake in the gravel pit of the Granite Sand and Gravel Company, southwest of the Union | Stockyards, have begun to appear. The | gravel company has offered to turn over ! its holdings to the city as fast as the : lake is enlarged by gravel operations if the city will loan it 5300.000 at 4 per 1 cent interest, to be repaid in twenty five | years. The land and water are located just north of Raymond street between Kentucky avenue and Harding street. O. T. Owen, president of tbe Atlas Sand and Gravel Company, which has a plant just south of Minnesota street, about a quarter of a mile to the northwest of the pit of the Granite Sand and Gravel Company, today pointed out what he considers obstacles in the way of ever making the Granite company’s pit into 3 lake with bathing beaches .and facilities for boating and fishing. SEES DIFFICULTIES IN USE OF LAKE. "I am interested as a taxpayer." he said. "If the city wants a like out here I am willing to turn over my own pond as fast as we get done taking gravel out of it but I don't believe either site is fit for a municipal lake, for these reasons: Within one-half mile of both pits there is situated Sellers' farm, where the city has its garbage reduction plant and night soil dump: Klngan's hair plant, the Smith Chemical Company, the Rauh Fertilizer Company and the ‘dockyards and the odort emanating therefrom seem to me to make it certain that few persons would find pleasure seeking recreation in their very midst. Then to speak of bathing in the water in these pits is almost laughable. The pits being from twenty five to fifty feet deep and fed by water from springs are _so cold that no one could swim in them with pleasure or safety. On hot days there is a layer of comparatively warm water about eighteen inches deep on the surface but below that it is verv cold. Fish taken out of my pond ia mid-sum-mer are hard In flesh, demonstrating the tow temperature beneath the surface. "X am willing to turn over my wafer to the city, but I certainly don't consider it a fit place for folks to bathe.” DISAPPROVE OF FINANCING DEAL. The board of park commissioners does not approve of the method of financing tbe deal whi h the Granite Sand and Gravel Company has proposed, since tbe city can not loan money to firms or individuals in this wav. It is understood that the board favors the purchase of the land from the cnmpnr,\ a; a price of 5300,000, then leasing it to the company for exclusive gravel operations at an annual rental equal to the interest and sinking fund charges on a boqd issue for this amount. Thus the lak : ' would cost the city nothing, the com nany agreeing to construct beaches and banks wherever the park department might designate. On the eitrtaoe it appears that this plan presents the city a splendid opportunity to get something valuable for noth!’ g more than th -use of the bonding leeway of the psrk department for n period ! of twenty-five years. However, students of municipal flnam-e point out t' it the o"ly as-- .-an'' th' yh- . r-tua: its annual pa m“nt9 from the company is Its continued prnfit-ihle operation of the gravel plant. If t!> company should go out of business for any reason, or if coil di'io: i shor'd arise which would make it impossible for gravel to be dug at a profit the city might experience some digicultv in collecting. Tkc park board would have to go on retiring the s.*>,0()0 boad issue regardless of whether the rent.il payments came in regularly. tVE*>T SIDE INTERESTED. Any >-on,tra-t with the gravel company undoubtedly would Include prvi_>.o!u* for penalizing the company in ca-e of failure to meet ith payments but the eu foreement of such penalties is very likely to be cost’y t< the city in th long run. those who are studying the plr-i say. On the o her band, a great many citizens appear to favor the proposal. Some residents of West Indianapolis who nave been fighting to rid their district of what they consider nuisances are es peeially Interested for the reason that they believe that If the one big improve merit can be established it will result in the cleaning up of its surroundings In Other words, they feel tbHt if the lake Is opened and hundreds of persons start gathering there from all over the city the city administration will feel bound to better the general sanitary conditions of the neighborhood. These people hope the park board will give the idea, very [ -’arefill study to the end that It be 1 worked out in a satisfactory manner.
