Remount Service Becomes
Heaviest Buyer
PORT BLISS Tex.. Feb. 11—
(UR)—The army has become the
crtufttry's largest purchaser and
trainer of fine horses.
To fill the demands caused by
the rapid enlargement of the
United States' fighting forces, the
remount service of the war de-
partment is beating the bushes in
ail sections to find suitable steeds
for the calvary and good horses
for artillery service. On June 1.
flic army had almost 40,000 in all
branches of the service.
. an-
Mounts for the cavalrv. of course,
take up the finest horses, but
animals of good quality are re-
quired in artillery, engineering and
even infantry.
All army horses receive unusual
cure, far superior to the attention
of the average owner. Cavalry
mounts, which are the most in-
telligent animals, receive attention
comparable to that bestowed on
Tnce horses.
. The arihV's breeding system plan j
Js turning out a large number of
unusually fine horses for service
fvery year. More than 700 stallions
of high quality have been lent to
breeders throughout the country,
and the* army lakes the choice
of the fqgls,
standard Not Relaxed
These high standards of flesh.
Health and suitability of horses
needed for army service have not
been relaxed under the pressure
of current needs. The only com-
promise with the rapidity of this I
country’s rearmament program has
been an acceleration in training 1

friendly farmers solved the food

There was no money for maids
so Mrs. Harrison set about the
task of making her charges self-

Into four groups scullery maids \

"Electric carrier equipment Is
essentially a law-powered radio
transmitter.” Holway said. "The
same type of circuits is used and
standard radio tubes are part of
the equipment.
"The principal difference is that
the carrier transmitter is not con-
nected to an aerial, but directly
to the high-voltage line."
Use of his carrier system would
save the cost of adding two-wire
