GALLANT UNCLE JOE.

Speaker Cannon Tells Pretty Students
Why He Opposes Woman Suffrage.
Speaker Cannon of the house Of rep
resentatives recently received one of
the most beautiful clusters Of Ameri-
can Beauties he ever saw: at least that
is what he told them when they were
ushered into his room at the capitol
to be introduced to the next presi-
dent" says Washington special dis
patch to the New York Times. There
were twenty in the cluster, or, to be
more accurate. in the "bevy." They
were students at the Martha Washing
ton seminary in Washington and came
from almost as many states, including
Maryland. Arkansas, Texas. Georgia
Tennessee. New York and Virginia,
and, luckiest of all, one came from Hi
nois.
And maybe the little Illinois maiden
didn't blush. Uncle Joe piled her with
questions about her people and her life
in Washington. He said nice things to
the others, too, but before they left he
took rap at woman suffrage.
II appreciate the great honor you
have paid me-" he said. However,
rather doubt whether you young ladies
from Georgia, Texas. Virginia, Arkan-
sas and other states IN the south really
want to see me elected. No, am op-
posed to woman suffrage, and I'll tell
you why. Pretty women like you
would always control two votes-your
own and some mans" The girls
blushed.
Now, 1 can tell" continued the
speaker. II only have to look into
your eyes when they light up that way
to be sure that each of you would de-
termine how some man would vote"

the advance in the facilities for comfort

remarked upon. Great was the disap-
pointment when it was found by actual
use that this fine equipment was render

of water supplied for showers. 1t was

could not endure 1t. Gradually all these
fine showers are being torn out of the
ship, and the men have been forced to re-
sort to the primitive method, which OBJ
tanned in the old navy, of washing from

Five More Cavalry Regiments.
Recommendations have been made to
the War Department and approved by
the general staff for the increase of the
cavalry arm by five regiments, giving
twenty regiments OF cavalry in all. Caval-
ry officers are greatly interested in the
proposition. and Lieut.. Col. 7. w. Jones,
Sd Cavalry, who has charge of cavalry
affairs on the general staff, has prepared
draft Of legislation which would carry
that plan into effect. 1t Is considered
that with the demands which are made
upon the army for service at home and in

attention has been devoted to the subject
with special reference to the provision of
q cavalry depot for each squadron of the
army to be established in time of war.

Considering Green Uniforms.
Army officers having to do with mill
tary apparel may take up the question OF
changing the color of the uniforms which
are worn by troops in the summer and
while on duty at tropical stations Sam
pies of the cotton material employed in
these uniforms have been received at the
War Department and are being examined.
The shades vary from the present khaki
color of the uniform to that of the deep
est green. If the experts decide that 1t Is
worth taking up the question seriously
they will have the cloth made into uni
forms and the conditions observed in
practical way in the field. 1t is neces
sary, of course to take into account the
effect of the new color under different
surroundings, with a view to rendering
the wearer as inconspicuous as possible.
Field Guns for the Navy.
The navy ordnance bureau is consider
ing the award of contract amounting
to more than 100000 to Dusseldorf.

caliber for use in connection with the

shore. The army ordnance officers, how
ever claim that they have d gun which
is better adapted for naval purposes in
the three-inch mountain howitZer, which
is a part of the new army field artillery
material. That gun was tried in compe-
t1tlon with Others of a similar class at
the army proving ground al Sandy Hook,
and the record made in firing the fifteen

rounds in thirty-five seconds for the thlr-
