NAVY REFORMS PROPOSED.
New Method Pat in Eject for Par
chasing Supplies.

Secretary Of the Navy NeTberry yes
terday directed that a new method be
put in effect in purchasing the ordinary
supplies for naval vessels. Heretofore
ali vessels Of the navy drew regular
supply OF various articles used on ship
board, which were kept and accumulated
from year to year in FIVE different store
rooms. Hereafter the supplies viii be
bought as needed from an allotment Of
money for each ship. and viii be stored
on board ship in one general storeroom.
It IS expected that the new method will
result in an economy in the amount OF
supplies purchased.
The proposed reorganization has already
been successful On board the scout cruiser
Chester and other smaller vessels, and
the Secrttary has determined upon an sx-
tension Of these tests to the Connecticut,
Minnesota. Georgia. New Jersey. West
Virginia. and Colorado, which, ne be-
heves, VIII be attended with success. In
lieu Of the present practice OF receiving
such stores on board under separate de-
partments. in which many items are du-
plicateG. it is proposed 10 put all sup
plies on board into common stock
The new methods are 10 be instituted
in these vessels on April !, with direc-
tions 70 report on their operation at the
end OF each quarter.

FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW

Il costs nothing, save effort. 10 be polite

given to wondering why both pOliteuess
and kindness are so rare On recent
day two women boarded a trolley car,
and the one who elected to pay the fares

stracted from her glove The conductor
looked at her and then at the coin and
spent unnecessary time IN producing the
change Three times he dug deep in his
pockets 10 find ten coppers. which he
handed 70 the woman with a quarter ard

the handful OF money.

up. although the woman wore fresh
gloves and the floor was dirty She be-

V-THE LITTLE MOTHERS.

Wherever there is q large family among

younger brother or sister in her arms.
and others holding TO her skirts This
Is the little mother" she is usually
the Oldest child. and because the other
children came so fast, necessarily push
ing her further from her mothers arms
toward a lonely independence Of her own,
she has had babyhood and no childhood
As soon as her arms were found strong
enough to encircle a baby, the children
OF the ever-gr0wing family have neen
given into her keeping, while the mother
went about household duties. OF became
a wage Garner in the working world. A
child without any OF the privileges or
childhood and all the responsibilities Of
motherhood-that is what the little
mother really is. Like the older sister in
Japan. she has the baby OF the family

person.

means OF helping the ntue molneIS.
They know that they cannot restore 70
the tired little women the birthright Of
happiness, freedom, and time for play
that is the rightful inheritance Of each
child. but they can make their lives more
endurable, and the monotonOus daily

ATTACK ON CADETS
WAS UNSUCCESSFUL


The Normal Cadets returned Sunday
afternoon from their annual encamp-
ment and it seems that all the mem
bers of the company enjoyed the out
ing thoroughly and got plenty of ex
perience. They lost a little sleep to
be sure, but that was a part of the
game and was expected. On Saturday
night about twenty of the members of
the Phoenix National Guard companies
planned an attack upon the sleeping
cadets, at least they were supposed to
be asleep. They have had experiences
like that before however, and it was
but moment until they were on their
feet and ready for the onslaught While
no official report of the conflict has
been received, it is gathered that from
the fact that half a dozen of the
Phoenix men were captured and held
in the guard house, that the cadets got
little the best of the battle. After
truce had been declared, the invading
host, that part of it which had not
been captured, was invited into camp
and offered the hospitality of the
cadets. Hot coffee and a light lunch
was served and enjoyed by all.
