three named are general recruiting sta

specially of conducting physical eXamlna-

therefore deemed to be IN posluon TO

The Navy Department has decided to
assign the converted yacht SYLVIA, now
undergoing repairs a the navy yard, New
York. to the state of Pennsylvania for the
use of the naval militia of that state to
take the place of the converted yacht

Dispensing With Shining Equip

The military authorities are engaged in
solving the problem Of Kidding the mill

reflect the suns rays and so become a
trial upon the eyes of the marching
soldiers. a more important consdera-
ton is the escape from anything which
Will serve as a target for the enemy Some
of the trouble has been caused by the tin
cup which is brilliant object in the
sunlight when 1t Is carried outside the
haversack or saddlebags. Several tests
have been made with the cup, one of
them being a method of japanning. and
another involving the use of canvas
covers The results Of the tests were not
satisfactory. 1t is now planned to have
a collapsible cup. which may be carried
inside the haversack or saddlebaS. An
other difficulty was encountered IN carry
Ing the first aid packet, a small tin box
of bandages that Is usually strapped to

Objectionable conditions as in the case of
the tin cup. 1t has been decided to cover
this packet with canvas and strap It to
the belt By these changes 1t Is hoped
to overcome the shining equipment.
Motor Boats for the Navy.
The Secretary of the Navy has received
a report of a board OF officers Of the At
lanttc fleet in favor of the adoption of
gasoline boats for naval purposes. Some
officials of the department hold that al
though the motor boat has its uses gaso-
line cannot be employed on all the serVlc"
boats That has been demonstrated in the
case of the Whaleboats, which are not
seaworthy when driven at high speeds.
The motor, however, will be adopted en-

increased speed in the case of vessels
which need the aid of the kicker 1t
was recommended that each of the battle
ships destined for the cruise to the Pac1fc

New Method of Examining Cadets.
An Important change has been author
tied in the method of determining the
physical fitness OF young men nominated

Academy. Heretofore these preliminary
physical examinations have been held at
the military post nearest the home of the
nominee or the school atte nded by him
1t has been held that such examinations
are not at all uniform and sometimes
not sufficiently thorough. Under the
new ARRANGEMENT there will be only five
posts where the physical examinations of

E. A. Oyerman, committee from the
local union, submitted the following
resolutions at the last meeting, which
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The hand of death has
been laid upon the home circle of our
brother, o. H. Christopher, removing
therefrom one of it's loved members.
therefore, be it
Resolved, BY the members of Local
1855 that, while realizing that no
words of ours can express the sympa-
thy of our hearts, nor any thought or
act give back the loved one, that we
tender to our bereaved brother and his
family our heartfult sympathy in their
bereavement, and that we commend
them to the Carpenter of Nazareth in
whom they will not fail to find that
comfort and support which alone can
suffice in an hour like this.
The union carpenters of Lincoln are
grieved to learn Of the death of the
venerable father of Brother Louis
Faulhaber. The elder Mr. Faulhaber
died Wednesday morning and was
buried Friday morning. Brother Faul-
haber has the deep sympathy of the
entire membership of his union
Mr.. Non-Union Carpenter, a little
word with you. You know that the
wage scale is better among union men
than among non-union men. That's
cinch. You know that the occasional
non-union man who is getting the
union scale gets it because the union
made it possible. Then why should he
not show his appreciation by helping
to bear the expenses of securing and
maintaining that better wage scale?
You know, too, that in the union you
find good fellowship, protection, bene-
fits. You are not fighting alone, but
have hundreds of good men willing to
help you when you are imposed upon.
Why not get right?
