ened TO overwhelm some affair and
men were an absolute necessity. As
d general thing the army and navy
men dance well; they like Occasions; >
they have no objections to making
themselves agreeable even to the
point OF Irritation, mild or otherwise;
they are almost invariably travelled
and well-mannered; and having no
business affairs to engross their
minds, are able to devote more time
to pleasing the objects of their af-
fections. Add to these the becom-
Ingness of uniforms, which certainly
counts with the average girl, and can
one wonder at the number of naval
or military weddings that are chron-
icled each year? The nearness of the
Presidio of San Francisco and the
Mare Island Navy Yard has always
had a great effect upon society here.

WHY WOODSMEN STAY
Staff Captain Gooding Says They Haven't
IN Baggage or Equipment.

Lack Of proper clothing IS the reason
why more men are not shipping to the
woods This statement was made today
by Staff Captain w. H. Gooding Of the
Salvation Army industrial department..
IT see that the lumbermen are still
complaining that; with the city full1eof
men looking for work they cannot fill up
their woods crews. The fact that they
will not take men without baggage Is re-
sponsible for a large share Of their diff
Guilty. Many Of these men lying around
town looking for work are entirely with
out baggage Of any kind and would not
be accepted for the woods, as the COM
panies shipping insist their having
baggage which can be held as security
against jumping after they have been
given transportation.
another thing which keeps men out
of the woods is the expense of a proper
outfit. Many who would gladly go have
not clothes sufficient for their needs, even
about the city where shelter Is close at
hand. They certainly cannot go into the
woods and face exposure and hardship in
their scanty clothing. The heavy under
wear, boots and mackinaws necessary to
