sTAeNATloN OF cHApLAlNs

Army chaplains are being promoted
with much deliberation, and those
who have the rank of captain and who
by virtue of length OF service in that
grade are eligible to promotion to the
rank of major are getting somewhat
impatient ut the delay. 1t so happens
that the law is framed In such q way
as to exact requirements in addition
TO that of time service. The chaplain
who is captain and who seeks to
become major must have performed
something out of the ordinary. Only
three chnplains on the active list
have attained the coveted grade, and
probably ten or twelve consider them.

permitted to work in his own behalf
and the reports must come from com.
manding officers through the regular
military channels.
One chaplain few days ago came
near attaining the goal, report ON
Tile being of such q character rs to
justify the promotion. But he was
deprived of the advancement, or at
least official action has been delayed,
because the report was not sent
through the regular military channels
and did not bear the necessary Off.
cial Endorsement all along the line.
There has been some talk OF chang.
ing the law so as to make the oondi.
tons less restrictive.
Any plan to that end however, will
not be favored by the War Depart

sufficient in all respects to insure am.

lie Newport News dny at the Expo
sition. as II was in this city that the
groundwork Of the affair was laid.
Perhaps Norfolk is getting more than
her share Of the glory these days, but
the fact remains just the same TINT 1t
was in our own city that the foundn-
ton was laid for what has every
promise OF being one of the most sue
cessful eXpositions ever held In this
country. II is the duty OF the several
municipal organizations In Newport
News to take this matter I'D and
push ii TO n completion that will re.
dound to the credit of the city. 1t is
one grand and splendid opportunity
to tell the world who were the real
founders of the tercentennial and II
most certainly should be grasped.
Such day also would naturally at.
tract the attention of many people to
OUR city who practically have no
Ktfd@1tdge -.f..it beyond the fact that
1t Is on the map. 1t can be made q
day memorable in the history of the
exposition and at the same time one
OF great benefit to the city. 1t is
understood that Mayor Buxton will
send the communication OF Mr.. John,
ston to the Chamber of Commerce
and to the Merchants Association,
the two representative business or
ganizations Of the city. ana surely
there should be no question as to
what stand should be taken BY them
on the matter.
Let us have Newport News day
at the Exposition and let us make 1t
OF the rousing kind that will win the
admiration of all who are on the
grounds that day, whether they be
from this city or from the North,
South. East or West.

Whiskers on policemen have fallen

off. The ukase came from Chief Col.

beard that made him resemble King
Edward. Reform began at home with
Chief Collins. and he ordered himself
to get shave as soon as he reached
his office. Then he began the prep

entire city whiskkerless police force.

FOR BETTER HEALTH.

There Gun be no question but that
ssall citizens of Newport News who
have the best interests Of the city at
heart are happy In the thought that
the health committee of the council is
4 taking energetic steps toward improv.
ing the health of the people who live
here. Not that Newport News is an
unhealthy place-quite to the contrary
lit is an exceptionally healthy spot
but there Is always room for better
L sanitary conditions In any city. There
seems to be an universal opinion that
the milk service in the city can be
. improved and any action that the
council can take on this question that
will better 1t will certainly be long
astride IN the right direction 1t Is n
generally accepted fact that impure
milk Is one of the greatest. II not the
greatest, conveyor of disease with
which health authorities have to com.
4 bat. 1t is the breeder Of germs Of all
B sorts and it has been proved time
land again that epldemics of all sorts
have been caused BY the impure milk
4 that was served to costumers.
The city authorities cannot be too
5 strict in their regulations ON the ser.
vice of milk to our citizens. The
dairy farms should be under constant
= snspection and tests should be made
Sof the fluid before It IS sold to the
i consumer. These tests should be in
the nature of surprises to the dealer
and he would thus be kept on the de,
85fense all the time,
The health committee Is also ACTING
\ wisely when II considers the question
LOT the healthfuiness OF exposing meats
and vegetables in front of the stores

sttion whether vegetables can breeu

that meat SO displayed is not benefit
