'MOVIES" AID INSTRUCTORS AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY Bloomingtcn, Ind. '"Teaching the young idea to shoot" by means of motion pictures is the latest innovation on the campus of Indiana University. Under the supervision of the local unit cf the Reserve Officers Training Corps, military training in the univercity includes target practice, both indoors end on the range with standard army rifles and ammunition. Considerable difficulty has been found in getting the cadets to handle the rifles correctly. This has been partially solved by the introduction of motion pictures by Major O'Brien, commandant. Junior and senior companies of the cadets have been given this instruction. Motion pictures, furnished by the war department, are Shown the companies in the auditorium cf the Student building, illustrating the correct manner in which a rifle is aimed, how the trigger pulled and also methods of cleaning the piece. Later it is expected to use pictures taken in France to give the cadets visual instruction of the action of troops under fire. I. U.

Dy n An ion c lcz:a::. Copyright, 12H, by UcClur. Syndicate.) The little town of Wej land. was certainly in a fever of excitement ami why not? Tomorrow whs to be "illlitary clay" and all the fellows who hat! left that town for the service of Unci Sam were Invited home to b treated si s honored truest. Of coure ther were some already "over there" who could not attend, but other were at nearby camps and K ho!s and the people of the town volunteered to go Jn their own machine and brfnjr the boys homo. "If It Is only a fair day," said Ruth Me rrill to her mother. Tf It rains, It will spoil the whole th!njf.M "Pim't be pessimistic, Jlath, dear. I irm ss it w 111 not rain. It's such a beautiful evening. By the w ay, will Itobert Foster bo able to come home?" "I hardly think so, and moreover I don't care whether he. comes hoin or not." Robert Foster was one of Ruth's old sweethearts, but a year ago they had fiuarreled nnd Bob had enlisted. Ruth was too proud to Rive In, and so "was Boh, hence the quarrel had never been patched tip. "Why, Ruth, this Is no time to be thinking of petty quarrel!"," said her mother. "It's a hame for you and Bob to act so." Mrs. Merrill put her neatly darned stockings Into the basket, thinking deeply all the while. There ts nothing I osn do," fhe thought. "Better let things straighten out themselves. The next day dawned fair and warm and Ruth got up with a happy feeling1 in her heart. Something was going to happen to her that day, but what she knew not. There was to be a parade hi the morninjt; then In the afternoon n banquet, and last of all a dance In the evening. It was durinj (he parade that Ruth's heart beat rapidly, us she aw in the third formation the tall figure ol Ensign Robert Foster. "My, how manly he looks," Ruth thought, but then she turned her eyes away for they were passing by and he might look at her. "I won't speak firFt,"'she said to her mother; but fate had arranged differently. About five o'clock Ruth hustled over to help wait on table. She had about fifteen hungry fellows to serve, and she hurried lest tfwne should be kept waiting. Everything went fine till Ruth, with a (Hip of coffee la one hand and a plate of chicken salad ia the other, went to place them In front of one young man, who immediately turned and looked tip into her face. Ruth had not expected Bob at her table, and the shock was too urach. Anyway, the coffee iSTided somewhere In Bob's lap, and a dismayed little girl ran frantically out of the room. "I shan't go In again," she sobbed to one of the plrls. "I spoiled his white suit, and he looked so nTce." After much teasing Ruth was persuaded to go to the dance ; but she took pains to keep out of Bob's way. She avoided him all evening by dasdas with other fellows ; but one dance came when Ruth was without a sartar, and Bob, seeing his chance, sauntered oyer. Ruth got through the dance, but fetr words were spoken. At the begjnalnj of the encore Bob mt her out of the hall, and they walked In the sf Hl iaoonHght until the dance music wm only faintly heard. Tit en Bob turned and took Ruth squarely by the shoulders. "Little sweetheart, let's forget eTerything and start Rgnln. Since training- down south I have had time to think things over, nnd I certainly missed my little pirl's letters to keep away that homesick feeling." Ruth softly $quper.ed Rob's hand. "I've been sorry, too," ihe said; "bat I thought you had forgotten me. Then when I blundered and pi!led the coffee I felt that was the finishing touch." "That's the least of my troubles; but, dear, I'm going to sea in a couple of weeks, so we must be happy and. make the best of our time together.1 It was a much happier girl who, two weeks later, said goodhy to Bob. "111 be luck food, dear; so don't worry," and, kissing her tenderly. Bob went away. Ruth waved until he was out of sight. Then, with tears In her eyes, she looked down at the ring on her third finger and pressed it to her lips. Why Mothr lrterfrd. Miss (lufh And, Kthel, dear, what Is the baby's name?

They killed or drove prpC5or3 frmn tit country and obliterated mark of the workings. Thus rasny mines, with great possibilities, wre b't. On of th n.iues of the E.trelia di Norte Mining company was lost fr intny years. The only clue to its location was found on an old Jesuit sip, which said it could be seen lj locking from a church door.- The church was found and the land dug p as far as could be seen from the door, but no trace of the mine was found. Later, after the search was discontinued, a wall that had been tout at a date later than the nsip, fU down and exposed another door. Ilea with field glasses, looking from tLis door, discovered the old mine. Many of the churches of Mexico tistt cause the world to wonder, bec'3ise of their architecture and pricetea ornaments, owe their existence to trdne. The Baroyeca church, built In 1722. was built from the wealth derived from the Mina CJrande mine, In Baroyeca mountain. Prior to 1S50 the will were lined with sheets of pure s'iWer from the mine. The candelabra, the altar rails and other parts of the sanctuary were of silver, and the Mr Tesels were o"f pure gold.

CH0VTH OF HOSPITAL IDEA Value f Such Institutions in American Eyes Is Shown by Thsir Astounding Growth. Figures ia a recent official report to lie United States department of labor show the astounding growth of the hospital Idea in this country during th last half-century. In 1S73 less thii tift years ago there were in the United States only 140 hospitals; toiay there are nearly 9,100 an increase of nearly 6,000 per cent In the number f institutions. In 173 the total capacity of the then-existing hospitals was 35,458; today the hospitals -sf the country have a total capacity of approximately ,860,000 beds an Increase of over 1,000 per cent. The amount of uioey at present invc!-d t thtse institutions Is roughly etilaated at nearly $2,000,000,000 ; the annual expediture fr supplies, equlppeat, upkeep and new construction is jraid to he about $750,000,000. v There is much that is gratifying In these taormous totals, says an editorial Ja the Xfedtra Hospital. Certainly, no stronger testimony could he adduced to show that the people of the Vniiea States are thoroughly convertti to the hospital Idea, ami do not iseaa to he deprived of the benefits of teospftal care.
