Discrimination Against Marines.

The act OF Congress restoring the ma
rines to war ships does not seem To nave
settled the matter after all. Several
prominent officers of the line are openly
onnosed Ia marines aboard ship and are
apparently doing all they can TO nnlilty
the law without actually violating It's
main provisions That the fractional hsnt

authorities of the Marine Corps have
made formal protest To the Secretary OF
the Navy against tho order of Rear Al
miral Schroeder commander of the At
Iantic fleet, promulSatinG regulations
which divide guard duty aboard SNIP pc
tween marines aud sailors. The Marine
Corps officers assert that TINS ac1'oii

With Congress 50 manifestly in favor OF
the employment of marines on shlpDoafd
there is no likelihood that the question
will be renewed at the Capitol, but there
are some things which may be done by
the naval authorities, regardless of the
law. Admiral Schroeder took the initial
step in that direction by providing That
guard duty on board vessels OF the meet
Shall be performed by sailors and marines
in alternate periods, not more than one
ha.f of the tine TO be taken up by the
marines. That action caused considerable
commotion at the headquarters or the Ma
rine Corps. and has resulted In some ami
mated correspondence with marine officers
on board ship. The commandment OF the
corps has appealed TO the Secretary of
the Navy for an order which would re-
quire Rear Admiral Schroeder To recall
his regulation.
Secretary Meyer apparently has de-
cided that there is no occasion for in
reference. That means that he has
adopted the navy view. which is, general
IL speaking, against the employment of
marines on board ship. The marines,
however. cannot be entirely withdrawn
from vessels OF war. inasmuch as the
law Is specific on that point. Secretary
Meyer believes however, that the officer
in command of a feet should be permit
ted to exercise his discretion in the way

No Monopoly in Army Uniforms.


In explanation of the recent action of
tract for supplying olive drab cotton cloth
for new uniforms for the army and or
ganized militia. Secretary Dickinson and
his associates stated that they desired
the fullest and freest competition in the
supply of the new uniforms. The contract
for the first years supply was not finally
awarded to Smith. Hogg & Co. of New
York city. selling agents for the Massa
chusetts cotton mills of Lowell, Mass,
said Secretary Dickinson. until after the
officials had fully satisfied themselves
that the cotton mills generally throughout
the country could manufacture the cloth.
Smith, Hogg & Co. were the only bidders
at the original public competition. They
offered to supply the olive drab cotton
cloth at - cents per yard, being the rate
paid for the khaki under the latest con-
tract. The new cloth was regarded by
the army quarternasters as much su,
perior in texture and color to the old
khaki and the price was considered sat

Mother Bird Sits on Eggs by Day
and Father at Night.
From st. Nicholas.

From 81. NlcnoIas.
There are many little ostriches Matched
this time of the year near Phoenix, Ariz.
The old birds sit on eight to ten eggs,
which are very large. weighing from three
to four pounds each. 1t takes about six
weeks for the eggs to hatch.
Sometimes when it rains the eggs are
taken from the nest and put in large in
cubators, as the ostrich will not 81. on a
wet nest. The ostriches are very different
from chickens. The mother bird. being
gray cannot be seen in the daytime, and
the father. being black, cannot be seen
very well at night. SO the mother sits on
the nest during the day and the father at
night, which helps to hide the nest.
The little ostriches are about the size
OF bantam hen when Matched and are
very delicate. If they get wet they die.
When first Matched they are not fed very
much for week. Later they get all the
alfalfa grass and broken bones they want.
They grow very fast, and when six
months old they are six feet high, and
their pretty feathers are then cut from
their wings. They are full grown when
one year old, but do not lay eggs until
three or four years old.

brunettes. The only part of the earth
where the blonde has survived. he says.
is in northern Europe, where it is foggy
and where in consequence the light is
far less intense than in a part of the
world where the atmosphere is clearer.
In the tropical zones are only dark COM
plexioned people, and the same is true, he
says. in the arctic regions, where the
light reflected from the snow has a daz-
Zling intensity. In the United States
Maj. Woodruff has found that blondes
are much more susceptible to tuberculosis
than the brunettes. In cloudy countries
blondes. according to his view, have just
as good chances of recovering from con-
sumption brunette, but in a climate
like southern California the chances are
all in favor of brrnettes.
To Sign All Massachusetts, Mail.
Secretary Meyer has issued an order to
the bureaus of the Navy Department to
the effect that all correspondence with
people or firms in Massachusetts shall
be prepared for his signature This is
an unusual proceeding and is evidently
due to the fact that Mr.. Meyer desires to
keep in close touch with the citizens of his
state.

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS.

in which the marines should be employed.
Because of Secretary Meyers view OF
the controversy, it is belleVed tnat the
marine officers will make a direct appeal
to President Taft to see that the inter-
ests of the corps are fully protected under
the law.
Prefers Old Style Sea Talk.
Rear ADMIRAL Seaton Schroeder. in an
order to the captains of his fleet. has
called attention to the passing of the
time honored response of the sailorman
10 his superiors of AYE. aye, sir when
an order is given. Admiral Schroeder
urges that the common reply nowadays
is not what is desired. Men now say
VERY good. sir, or Very well, sir.
This the admiral says. should not he per-
mitted. and the old response should be in
sisted upon, as il is an answer that mas
always prevailed in the navy, and con-
veys meaning not given by the other
expressions Officers are also impressed
with the importance of correcting the
careIessness of men who chew gum while
they are addressing officers or use slang
ut such times. The admiral enjoins his
fleet officers not to allow such uninten-
tional forms of diSresDect and ignorance
of the elementary principles of military
propriety. In making this observation he
says that officers should be mindful of
the fact that the navy is just now In a
transition stage as regards matter u
personnel. and laxity of discipline even
in small matters brings increasing diff
cuities in its train.

seem. the roast was enjoyed as much
as any roast in the winter, the tired
fishermen doing justice to what was
spread before them.
Crab and fish bait were used by the
anglers in making one Of the best catches
ever recorded in the waters of Yeocomico

were good-siZed fish, and what fish were
not needed for the table We're sailed away
for winter, being put with the surplus
catch from other trips. Fishing is ex-
ceptionally good here this season, and
clubmen find it merely a matter of going
after them.
