tory condition OF the enlisted person
mel Tables Gu this subject have been
compiled by Commander w. r. Shoe
maker in chargeoof the enlistment
branch of the bureau OF navigation.
From these it appears that there are
now 44.129 enlisted men in the navy,
as against G8.O27 IN 1907. and that the
percentage OF citizens has Increased
from 931 per cent in 1907 TO 957 per
cent in 1909
The percentage OF native-born men
in the navy has increased from So per
cent in 1907 10 SS.4 per cent in 1909
Steady Increase Is shown In enlist
ments In 1907 the total was 1929.
while in 1909, the total enlistments
numbered 1928. The result of the
strict requirements for enlistment is
shown by the fact that out Of $4,000
applicants this year for admission TO
the navy. all but 1923 were rejected
for physical or other causes
Another cause for congratulation Is
the large and steady decrease in the
number OF deserdOns from the ser.
vice and the large percentage-65 per
cent-of re-enliStments.
In 1907 the desertlons averaged o.0i
per cent. while in 1909 the percentage
fell TO SIS per cent In the total en-

Charles Frohman, the manager who
produced most OF Mr. Barrie'S plays,
declares that Barrie's success with
characters for women was due 10 the
fact that he knew that when a wo-

her reason and logic. she was apt to
be right Mr. Frohman recalled an
incident during a rehearsal Of "What
Every Woman Knows" when Mrs.
Barrie suddenly appeared and held a
hurried whispered conversation with
the author. When she had gone Mr.
Barrie drily remarked to the manager;
