sight continues to approve itself to
the Army. II has been decided, how
ever, in view of general criticism,
that the sight was seated too far
back toward the eye, to move the
bracket on which 1t is attached for
ward and provide It with an addi-
tional notch for the thumb-screw, a
pillow for the movement of the sight
forward one inch from the former
position. Objection has been made
TO the rubber eye-piece, the princi-
pal one being that It was rather too
hard. A softer eye-piece will be
adopted, and possibly pneumatic
cushion, something like an air pill
low, but of the general shape of the
eye-piece now used. The Ordnance
Department has ordered 1000 more
of these sights, so that every ex-
pert morksman In the Army will
now be supplied.

submit to Congress next winter a
plan for providing for enlisted men
entertainments such as they have
heretofore been able to provide for
themselves from the profits of the
ships canteen. Under the new sys-
TEN of having the Government con-
duct the canteen with margin OF
ten per cent profit 1t is obvious that
no entertainment fund is to be forth
coming. and Il must be raised In
some other manner. The idea now
is to do this by saving in ration al
lowance. This seems to be the cas-
lest method to pursue. The allow
ance is generous. and must needs be
so. but II would be possible, II prop
er regulations could be applied, To
make saving from which SUM-
cient fund for entertainment could
be derived Reports have been COM
ing in during the last few days from
pay officers who have taken charge
of canteens and the indications are
that the new plan is going to work
we'll. The pay officers are allowed
to supply the wants OF each ship,
and no difficulty is experienced in
making many reforms in the service
that thus far are proving acceptable
to the men and furnishing greater
variety and, in some cases, better
quality of goods.
To the vacancy caused by the res
lgnation of Miss ID. II. Kinney, Su-
perintendent of Army Nurses, which
took effect July 81, President Taft
has appointed Miss Jane A. Delano
of New York City, formerly Superin.
tendent of Nurses at Bellevue Hospi.
tai and now president of the Nation
al Association of Nurses. She Il
spending the summer in Europe anC
will assume the duties of the place
early In September. While there
had been no contest for the appoint
ment, there had been an expectation
that the President would apply civi
service principles to the choice of {
successor to Miss Kinney and thai
the present chief of nurses or som,
of the Oldest in experience in tn,
corps would receive the reward o
good and, faithful service. 1t is sal,
that an effort is to be made next SEES
sion of Congress to secure Legislation
that will enlarge the Army MRS,

result Of his observations recently
into the conditions among agricultr-
al classes in the west, Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson is finally convin-
ced that federal control of the rail.
roads capitalization would lead ia
large investments in railroad. securi-
ties by American farmers.
=, The secretary expressed the opin-
ion today that if some government
board Of officials had a right to pass
upon the proposed issue Of railroad
securities and say whether 1t repre-
sented actual property, it would give
farmers confidence in such securities
and they would buy them freely.
Secretary Wilson said that the
farmers were now buying automo-
biles to a large extent which indi.
Gated to him that there were not
many opportunities for Investments.
The supervision. of railroad securi-
ties of railroad securities by the gov
eminent would in his opinion offer
such opportunities, and farmers
would take advantage of them.
