naval bases, H cheered and aided our
fighting forces. Its halls and huts
were not onty sodal centers, furnish-
ing wholesale recreation and amuse-

provement and moral refreshment.
They were Mt* of America set on for-

"The men of the Bed Triangle fol-

While hundreds of men in the army
In Oamp Travis are anxious to get. out.
of service and back into civilian life,
<Vc|I Koons of itaton, N. M.. Is hap-
py because he got In.
He rushed Into a Y. M. <'. A. build-
in*. threw his toward the eflllnj;
and danced an i. The tifttmiion of
the "Y" secretaries was directed to''
ward him by his antics and they iu-
duired the cause of his glee.
It was then that the story was told.
I 'urliig the war Cecil could not
get Into the army on account: of his
age. He became eighteen years old
run long ago and enlisted.
After his preliminary examination
he was accepted although he was just
heavy enough to pass the murk set by
The regulations. When be was exam-
ined at Camp Travis it was found that
lie was two pounds under weight.
Then he was in the midst of gloom.
"What did you do?" someone asked.
"I drank a whole lot of water Just
before I was weighed again and gained
three pounds, one pound more thun
was necessary," unswered the cheer-
ful Cecil.

OFT MEN NOW
AT A STANDSTILL
Only 400 Remain in Southern Depart-
ment—Activity on Mexican
Border.
San Antonio. Tex.-—Demobilization
of Army Young Men's Christian asso-
ciation secretaries In the Southern Mil-
itary department has about reached a
standstill for the present, according to
J. II. Kckford, departmental supervisor
of personnel. About four hundred
wearers of the lied Triangle remain In
the six states composing this depart-
ment. more than six hundred having
been released since the signing of the
armistice. It is believed thai, with
the numerous camps In the department
demobilized down to practically the
smallest possible working force, cou-
pled with the demands of the regular
army men and the returning soldiers
from overseas, there will be a need for
at least four hundred secretaries for
at least several weeks.
Seventy secretaries are serving lite
towns and outposts along the Mexican
border, this phase of Y. M. C. A. ac-
tivity having been materially enlarged
since the armistice. Apparently 2,000
miles of border territory Is now being
covered, the greater part of It by Itin-
erants In light delivery cars. In which
the secretaries carry n full supply of
hooks. stationery, portable motion pic-
ture machine*, athletic equipment. In
« number of the I sol n tod villages where
