anxious to let my other friends know on
what Battery A Is doing and how much
we enjoy our camp life.
The camp Is now lots different from
what, we old-timers In the militia were
once accUstOmcd to'. In the first place,
the equipment Is much better, and In
the second place, we have a much larger'
organization, for we now have seven
sections .whlre the first battery only
had four. We are 'conceded to be one
Of the ttnest equipped organizations In
tho United States, and that's saying a
lot. btlleve me! -
I am 'enjoying this outdoor life as
much as ever, i brought a pair of box
tng'gloves out here to have a work-out
each morning before, reveille. The only

WITHBRONXCOCKTAIL
NEW TORK, July S0.-A protest
against the superfluity of aroma arid
lack of real work In New Tork barbef
shops was made to a New York papef
yesterday.
The protestant, wonderfully scented;
but far from pleased, expressed a
thought which, probably had occurred to
thousands when under tt hotjowel and
In thoughtful mood.
"Even as I talk." he; said, "I ktf,
smothered. Eteven minutes ago I was
shaved by a profeslonal and. for all I
know, modal winning barber, and I Irt
slet that he did not cut the beard oft
my face. I Insist he washed It off. He
scrubbed It oh. Nothing can convince
me otherwise.
"I saw him hone a razor whtcJi
doesn't Indicate a thing 'about whether
the razor was sharp or stupid. He went
through all the motions of, shaving me,
and when he ad finished I sneaklly
ran my hand over my face and knew
that he hadn't taken a thing off.
"Then the real work began. He Smoth
ered mo with Iodine, witch hazel, cam
phor Jelly, alcohol, cold cream, hot. cold,
and lukewarm water, glycerine, bay rum
nnd four other advertised preparations.
"He scrubbed, rubbed, swished, patted
and poked me, and finally threw on
what I believe was a Bronx cocktail.
When I felt my face again It waa
smooth. What's the Idea? Are razor
but a memory? Why do they take a
beard off by fraud'rather than by skill?"
