is explained that 1t is necessary for a
woman to be tall in order that she
may reach the notes while on the

could not reach the notes, while one
of unusual girth would not have room
to stoop between the presses in the

UNCLE SAM is HUNTING
FOR NAVAL SURGEONS

WASHINGTON. - Notwithstanding
W the superior inducements which a
naval career offers for young physic-
ian over the uncertain and overworked
lines of the average struggling general
practitioner the medical corps of the
navy has not found it possible to Sc
cure enough naval surgeons to meet
the needs of the service.
Admiral Rixey, surgeon general of
the navy, has adopted extraordinary
measures to meet the case, even going
so far as to send circulars to many of
the best medical colleges soliciting
applications from the graduates for
appointment as naval surgeons. And
to make the offer more tempting the
surgeon general has undertaken to
give temporary appointments as "act-
ing assistant surgeons" to The young
men who will pass a satisfactory pre-
liminary examination and come to
Washington for instruction.
They will receive six months spe-
cial training at the naval medical
school and hospital recently establish
ed here or at the Mare island naval
hospital in the case of applicants from
the Pacific coast At the end of that
course the graduates will receive ap-
pointments as assistant surgeons with
an annual salary of $1,750, supple

stirred his ambition. In 1868, the boy
who Is now president raised a fund by
popular subscription for the purpose
of library for the officers and crew
of the Rival, all of whom were his
friends
AT the head of a delegation of
youngsters he visited the ship when it
next came into port and with due
ceremony presented the library, con-
sisting of 40 volumes, to the skipper.
The presentation speech was made by
Mr. Roosevelt. When reminded few
days ago of this event by an old friend
the president said he remembered it
perfectly and that frequently he had
wondered if any of the officers or crew
of the Rival were still alive, and, If
so, If they remembered his speech.
Il thought it was a mighty fine
speech" said he. "and so did Captain
Doane"

OLD CLERKS In LAND
OFFICE TO LOSE JOBS

Where possible places paying less will
be provided, but there are compare
lively few of those positions, and even
those are all occupied, so that appoint
ments to them will compel other re-
movals.
There is not such urgency in other
divisions, but there are said to be
many clerks throughout the bureau
who are incapacitated by age or other
infirmities and whose service can not
therefore, be retained in justice to the
department.
The commissioner expresses deer
regret for the necessity which compels
his course, but justifies 1t on the
ground that no less radical course
would insure the proficiency Of the
office.
1t is said that many of the persons
who will be relieved have strong po-
litical backing and it is anticipated
that the execution of the commission
er's plans will cause vigorous protests.
1t is understood that the president has
full knowledge of the programme for
reorganization.

old At that time he would a bold
sailor be. He had read all the marvel
Gus tales of the sea and his ambition
was to sail the ocean blue in command
of stanch craft that would carry
him to the uttermost parts of the
earth. He was permitted by his gov

wharves of New York and he thus be-
came personally acquainted with many
of the most famous shippers of that
time. Chief among his heroes was
certain Captain Doane, commander of
the clipper ship Rival.

mind of the future hero of San Juan
with astonishing stories of storms at
sea and hairbreadth escapes from

COMMISSIONER BALLINGER of the

The secretary has the matter under

about Is clerks in that division, and
of those about Is or 20 will be relieved

mented by allowances of S432 and
mileage and other inducements.
The difficulty in securing applicants
lies in the fear of the examination to
which they must submit. Admiral
Rixey insists that this fear is un-
founded If the applicant has been prop
erly grounded in the principles of med
icine, while for the collateral exam
ination" which the candidates must
take, this is nothing more than an
elementary test of the candidates
general knowledge of English, arith-
metic and literature, and even knowl-
edge of foreign languages is not es-
sential.
Not even these comparatively sim
pie requirements, however, it is
stated, are met by the majority of ap-
plicants, which in the opinion of the
naval medical corps is a severe COM
mentary upon the training afforded by
many medical institutions. The short
age of doctors in the navy has become
really serious. To-day there are Ga va
cancies in a corps that at it's maxi
mum should number only $50, and I'M
less the deficiency can be supplied
normally before the end of the calen-
dar year congress will be asked to add
to the inducements now held out to
applicants by considerably increasing
the pay of naval surgeons.
