Washington.-The president has do
termined to do all that he can to break
up the growing practice Of discrimina
ton in public places of amusement and
public resorts and hotels against thu
blue Jackets and soldiers. Secretary
Bonaparte's action in Diminishing from
the civil service with q scathing 70
buke an employe in the Norfolk navy
yard, who refused to shelter q petty
officer Of the service because he wor~
sailors clothing, is an indication a
the executive purpose.
It has been the subject Of many o.
fetal reports, at the navy department
particularly, that sailors Of UNI lem
ished record and perfectly correct hah
its have been refused admission b
theaters and entertainments in hotels
because they wore a uniform which thu
president believes should :be honored
to all parts Of the land. Soldiers have
suffered in lesser degree from this dis
elimination.
It has taken the navy department
some time to disabuse tho minds Of 10
cal magistrates Of the impression thai
the navy is the proper refuge for every
scapegrace who should be sent to q

BUGS DRIVE OUT BIOLOGIST
Pupils Enthusiasm In Furnishing
Specimens Leads to Professors
Retreat from Home and State.

Salt Lake City.-Dr. Charles w. Bal,
lard, professor Of science in the high
school. has fed from the state, but has
left behind him In his apartment q
collection of insects that will keep pro-
fessional DETERMINATIONS busy for
weeks.
The insects were forced on DIR. Bal
lard. In recent biology recitation he
offered his pupils a penny for each and
every bug they brought him. He
wanted collection of insects for ex-
periments. All the pupils in the school
set to work gathering bugs. It would
have taken the professors salary for q
year to pay the pennies claimed. Fifty
youngsters between them cornered the
bug crop of a large section of the
state.
DR.. Ballard tried to settle for three
dollars. This angered the boys. They
ripped open boxes and bags. The in
undstion of bugs left no room for Bal
lard in his apartments. He has gone
to visit his former home, in Logan
sport, Ind, until the exterminators r.
port the last death.
