addition to the gifts of free space on

made by the Associated Billposters

Poster Printers Association, several
hundred paper manufacturers have
given paper for the posters to the
value of several thousand dollars, and
artists from all over the United States
are contributing sketches for posters.

will see that the posters are placed
in cities and towns where they are
most needed.
The posters are nine feet long and
feet wide and will be printed in
several colors. If sufficient paper is
procured a million will be pasted up.
The value of these various contribu-
lions would reach fully 100000 if
paid for at commercial rates.

complimented for her excellent
craftsmanship. Herself and hus-

had the law permitted it, but the law,
which permits deer shooting only dur

each hunter can kill.

an instrument BY which it is claimed
two people can speak to each other
over a considerable distance, without
wires, without anything more than a
box containing the transmitting and
receiving apparatus; these are made
in pairs, each person having n OF
the twins: and all that it's possessor
has to do is to move a knob, which
causes a bell to ring in the other box,
in the next room or several miles
away. The person who has the sec
ond box. hearing. the bell ring, knows
that he is to be spoken to, and he lifts
out the receiver, to which has been
attached something like a small
graphophone horn. He does not hold
this receiver to his ear; he goes on
writing while he listens u the mes
sage being spoken to him in a tone
sufficiently loud to be heard. He re-
plies by an instrument similar to the

TO suspend publication because, 1t is
said, it incurred the displeasure of the
censor by attempting to print matters
and there are other instances in which
the deep sea editors got into hot water
by allowing their publications to be-
come a vehicle for growls.
The Budget, which had set the pace
for the rest of the journals, suspended
publication when Printer Kline's term
of enlistment expired, but cot because
of the censor. Its publisher decided
to knock all records sky high in that
final number.
1t had 40 pages and was filled with
pictures of the cruise, taken in The
various places touched at along the
coast of South America. 1t made such
a hit that Publisher Kline had to turn
out 800 copies, and many a Jack Tar
In the fleet sent along a copy to his
friends at home. In fact, its circula-
ton extended far beyond the ship on
which ii was published, and it had
become an advertising medium as
we'll; but its publisher had decided
that he had had enough of the navy,
and so he babe farewell to his sub
scribers.
The only attempt at criticism ap-
peared in this last number of the Bud
get, and the censor, probably in view
of the fact that 1t was the last issue
of such a noteworthy publication, ap-

An Enlisted Mans Views" and was
inspired by the statement of the presi-
dent that no effort should be spared
TO make the service attractive to the
enlisted man. Some of the views pre-
! scented by the contributor are interest
ing.
When a prospective candidate for
enlistment presents himself at a re-
cruiting Office" says this article, The
is told all about the bright side of
naval life. He should also be informed
of the conditions on board ships.
HE should be informed of what Is
expected of him; that he will have to
scrub his own clothes and will have to
perform manual labor. Recruiting
parties should bear in mind that the
daily routine on board ships, which is
a matter of common knowledge to
them, is all unknown to the recruit.
1T makes a very unfavorable i'm
preston on a man joining a ship to be
confronted with conditions which he
did not expect to find, conditions
which should have been explained to
him before being worn in. The navy
should not be allowed to come into the
service with his mind made up for a
four years continuous picnic"
Another complaint mentioned is that
not enough attention is paid to the
preparation and serving Of Jacks
meals, and that often he gets them
cold. Says the Budgets contributor:
'One thing In this connection ought
to be reversed-the inspection of q
meal. AS 1t is at present the cook on
watch picks out the best of everything
and carries ii out to the officer of the
deck for inspection, and of course this
proves satisfactory"
II is necessary to get the permission
of the commanding officer before you
can publish a paper aboard one of
Uncle Sans ships, but there isn't
much difficulty in getting his consent,
and these little papers circulate as
freely on the quarterback as In the
