WARSHIP CONTRASTS
COMPARISON OF THE NAvlEs OF
JAPAN AND UNITED STATES.
Opportunity Of Studying Their charae-
teristics Afforded at the Re-
cent Review in Hamp-
ton Roads.

That the Japanese navy stands for
utility and severe simplicity was APP
parent from the short range inspec-
ton which the recent visit of some OF
the Mikados warships to the James
town exposition afforded. There, side
by side with the American memo
war, it was only too apparent that
there were striking contrasts between
the ships of the two nations. On the
bows of the Japanese ships is 10
scroll work, such as ripples in gilt
about the bows of American men-of-
war; but instead a disc, which is pitch
ed forward at a sharp angle, and on
which is painted the rising sun OF
Japan.
But the most striking difference of
all lies in the color of the ships. Those
of the Japanese are of a dark drab,
sombre as a thundercloud, and saw.
ing the bit of gilt at stern and bow,
unrelieved by any touch of color;
mast, fighting tops, smokestacks, SUI
perstructure, boats, booms, hull, all in
the darkest drab and lustreless as the
eye of the dead. Nowhere is any pol
ished brass work to wink back at the
sun, no gangway ladders whitened
with holy-stone, sand and canvas, I'M
til the oaken steps and frame pieces
take on a look like unto that OF
"wrinkled skins on scalded milk" Nor
are there any fancy manrOpes, so dear
to the heart of the American blue
jacket, highly decorative and always
spotlessly white, though not essential
ly important in the makeup of man
of-war Instead, on these Japanese
ships one is struck at almost every
turn with the same rigid exclusion of
nonessentials as distinguishes the
paintings and pictures by Japanese
artists.
Then the band! All know the tunes,
mostly martial airs, which the band of
an American flagship or battleship is
wont to play, but the airs which the
band of a Japanese warship discourses
are rarely martial, that is, they do
not have that ring to the western ear,
do not carry the hand to the sword
like Dixie" or the "Marseillaise," In
stead the tunes are more suggestive
of dancing or of posturing.
The library of an American man-of-
war is usually supplied with thou
sands of volumes, books that run the

tute, and many name their wives,
daughters, or other members of their
families for this place. The depart
ment encourages such appointments,
of some one living in the same house
with the carrier, because If the regu-
lar carrier is sick or unable to serve
his route there is some one in the
same house to act as substitute and he
is not obliged to send out and notify
his substitute that he must serve the
mails that day.
When a woman has served six
months as a substitute, that is. as a
bonded substitute, she will be eligible
to appointment as regular carrier, and
should there be a vacancy the depart
ment will give her the preference for
appointment as regular carrier in the
rural service.
While the regulations of the postal
service make no specific provisions
against women as letter carriers IN
cities, there is a provision which has
the effect of barring them from these
positions. A uniform which must be
worn by city carriers, consisting OF
coat and trousers and cap of a certain
color, is prescribed, and no woman has
been brave enough to make applica-
ton in the face of this.
The records of the department show
that the women carriers in the rural
free delivery service have made most
excellent officers. They have shown
pluck, perseverance and ability to per-
form their duties in all sorts of wealth
er. and some of them hold higher rec
ords for efficiency than hundreds of
men in the service.

Surgeon General Rixey has, there
fore, worked out the details of a plan
for the organization of a corps of
trained nurses, such as the army has.
Ahoat these nurses will necessarily
be men, but in the navy hospitals
ashore where the more difficult, lin
gering and dangerous cases are treat.
ed, women nurses will be employed.
For $4,000 Admiral Rixey feels that
he can make a respectable beginning
in the organization of such a corps,
and he is seeking support from the
secretary of the navy and the presi-
dent in securing the necessary ap-
preparations by congress.
The first official suggestion of the
employment of women in the project
ed naval nurse corps was preached
by the surgeon general in an address
delivered by him on the occasion OF
the graduation OF the nurses class at
the Garfield hospital in this city re-

MANY PETTICOATS AMONG
RURAL MAIL CARRIERS

M Observation-Disclosures from be-
" coming letter carriers by a tech
nicality in the postal regulations,
women are rapidly invading the ranks
O8 the rural carriers, where there are
no restrictions against them. An ex-
animation of the records of the post
ONCE department shows that there
are 257 carriers in the rural communi-
ties who are women, and 1000 substi-
dute carriers are of the same sex This
would not be a very significant show
ing were it not for the fact that the
advent of women in this capacity is a
comparatively recent innovation. For
several years after the service was
established it was not contemplated
by post office officials that the posi-
ton of carrier was one which would
be sought by members Of the weaker
sex. But somehow they crept in;
the department had no way of distin
gushing them from men except by
their names as they appeared on the
applications, and this, it was found, is
no criterion.
Who was the first woman rural car
rier is something that is unknown by
the post office department Several
have claimed that honor. Women were
delivering mail matter in the farming
communities for Uncle Sam long be-
fore his officials who have charge Of
that branch Of the postal service knew
anything about it.
There is another way in which they
have made inroads into the service.

nON'T chew meat Gulp it in
~ chunks.
Mastication has no part in the di-
gestion of meat. There is some reason
for believing that chewing will make
meat indigestible The saliva is an
alkali. Acids are needed for the con-
version of flesh into the elements that
nourish the human body.
Too much chewing may raise the
alkalinity of flesh used for food to
such an extent as to seriously ham
per the work of the stomach, which,
alone, has to do with the disposal
of animal matter.
This, in brief, is the gospel of Dr.
Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist OF
the department of agriculture. His
views were called forth by a report
by Prof Irving Fisher of Yale on
the relative value of animal and vege-
table foods.
Aside from knowledge gained by
him as a chemist, DR.. Wiley has noted
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1907-06-29
DON'T CHEW YOUR MEAT,
SAYS CHEMIST WILEY

that the carnivorous animals do not
chew their food. They tear it from
the bones and swallow it in chunks
Therefore the learned chief chemist
holds that If a man can get a chunk
of meat down into his stomach, no
matter how big it may be, he has
done all that nature requires of him.
"Mastication is good for the devel-
opment of the muscles" says DR..
Wiley, "but chewing of meat is I'M
necessary, if not positively harmful.
With vegetables, however, it is impos-
sible to do too much grinding. Every
body knows, or ought to know, that
all the digestion of vegetables is ac-
complished in the mouth and small in
testines. If there is not enough mas
tication the work cannot be done aft
erward.
But Fisher is a faddist; all of us
are a bit afflicted in that way. He is
trying to make over man so that he
will not eat. He ought to know bet
ter than that"

Let not a note be of State street
Sing to me only of hills.
Only the sweep Of the country,
Only the song of the rillsl
Help me forget all my duty,
Help me to lose all my care,
Watt me away to the northward
Up to the tamaracks bare!
Sing me a song Of the Northland.

SURGEON GENERAL RIXEY
WANTS NURSES In NAVY

q URGEON GENERAL RIXEY is pre-
~ pairing to make a strong appeal to
congress at it's next session to correct
a lamentable deficiency in the medical
branch of the naval service. The sur
geon general points out that the Amer
lean navy is without a single trained
nurse. No matter how severe the ill
ness of the officers and sailors, nor
how grave the injury or wound re-
ceived in the line Of duty, the Amer
lean bluejacket must rely for his care
in time of trouble upon hospital
steward and an apprentice.
In ordinary times the ships sur
geons are often taxed to care properly
for the normal number of sick and in
jured aboard ship. When there is an
epidemic Of fever or measles (the lat
ter often a serious malady among
male adults), such as occurred not
long ago on the battleship Connecticut,
II has been found impossible to give
the inEahds the necessary scientific
and careful nursing required.

whole gamut of literature and deal
with almost every subject that has
ever employed type. The visitor to
one of the Japanese ships would have
discovered a much scantier collection.
He would have found hundred or so
volumes in the Japanese language,
and which his courteous hosts would
have told him were of a purely scien-
tific nature and more or less related
to their own calling, being treatises
on navigation, ordnance, seamanship,
steam engineering, electricity, high
explosives, the compass and its devia-
tons, tactics, and so on. He also
would have found few books in Eng
lish, German, and French, these be-
ing such light and frivolous works as
the Encyclopedia Britannica, Darwin's
Origin of Species" Bastiat's Sci
ence of Finance" Walkers Political
Economy" and other works of a SINH
lar exciting nature.
The uniform of the Japanese blue
Jacket is almost identical with that of
the English man-of-war's men. Their
pay, however, is very small, and
ranges from about four dollars a
month to SIG a month. Their high
est paid petty officer receives a lower
wage than does the apprentice in the
American navy, and the ration which
is served to the Japanese bluejacket
would not hold an American boy in
the naval service over night. The
Japanese ration consists almost Who'll
" OF rice, with an allowance OF bread
twice a week.
Unlike the American ships, the Jap
anese carry no marines. Then, too.
their small boats are entirely dlffer-
emit, their steam launches being long.
WASTED, speedy craft, and which seem
TO have been built originally for tor
pedo boat work. Their smaller boats
are most peculiar, the type OF craft
which corresponds with the dingey Of
the American service, being propelled
by a set OF Quadruple SOULS, worked
from cleats rugged oversize.
