A correspondent Of the Brooklyn Eagle
reports that the general staff OF the army
Is working out its plans for Increasing the
number of officers for the regular army,
thereby increasing its effectiveness Ex-
perts have long held that the American
regulars are under-officered All calcula-
tions are based on a larger output Of
graduates from West Point military acad-
envy, and. consequently. on an increase In
the number OF cadets.
The plan to be recommended for increas-
ing the corps of cadets provides that APP
pointments to the military academy shall
be made every three years instead Of every
four years. Each member OF the house of
representatives, each senator and the presi-
dent will make appointments more fire.
quently and there will be no disturbance
in the method OF distributing such appoint
ments.
Under this plan the corps of cadets would
be Increased 25. The president has inter-
posed no objection to this plan of the
general staff, and members of the military
committee Of the house and senate have
intimated that congress would not be OPP
posed to the desired legislation. Major
Hull, chairman Of the house compittee,
has favored the plan for some time.
Each graduating class Of the military
academy is about eighty short Of the num-
Der necessary to officer the army. Less
than ~ per cent Of the whole number OF
officers of the regular army are graduates
Of the military academy. Since June 1898
there have been 5000 appointments to COM
missions in the army, exclusive Of the
medical corps. and during that period there
have been only 1888 graduates from West
Point.

thing for stamp collectors. 1t
has been generous in the issue OF new
varieties Of postage stamps, mostly Of a
commemorative kind, and thousands Oh
albums have been enriched. Without think
ing very far back into the past there have
been the jamestown exposition stamps, the
Lincoln centenary. Yukon exposition and
the Hudson-Fulton stamps. With such a
line of presidents 1t is likely hat many
more commemorative stamps Will be Issued.
II might be of interest IL 1t could be de-
termined how much profit there is in the
sale of these stamps to collectors. Large
quantities are absorbed without a thought
that they will ever be used for letter post
Philatelists, professional and anna
teur, the world over hoard these stamps.
AS a rule the collector is not content with
a single specimen. but takes many for the
purpose Of future barter or sale.
Several of the smaller governments OF
Central and South America at one time
made quite a sum out of the sale OF post
age stamps to collectors, getting out a
new issue whenever the demand for the
older issue had been appeased.
There is said to be at least one enlisted
man aboard most OF the large vessels OF the
navy who makes considerably more money
than the captain or commanding officer.
That Is the barber, the aristocrat of the
gun deck. 1t is easy to see where the
barber ~accumulates money, when one
learns tina he charges each jack 81 a
month to remove his whiskers and cut his
hair. II there are 500 enlisted men aboard
the vessel then the barber makes his $500 a
month, hot or cold. rain or shine. Twelve
times that makes him out as making
5000 a year, all OF IT outright profit. Be-
sides, he may roll up a few hundred dol
lars more by giving shampoos and hair
cuts and the like to the officers.

for the privilege of making 5000 or more
a year. He is sought for and invited. The
only requirement is that he must enlist
like any other man, and serve out his en-
listment.
It is one Of the s~trictest rules OF the
navy that none but enlisted men are al
lowed aboard ship. So on the lists the
bar Der is technically rated as seaman,
like the rest of them. He gets his pay,
too, in that capacity. by the way, from
the government, and adds that mite to
the handsome sum hat he earns himself.

Status Of Paymasters' Clerks.
The Attorney General has informed the
Secretary of the Navy that In his opinion
paymaster's clerk in the navy is an
officer of the navy within the meaning
of the law of May Ii, 1908. providing
for the retirement Of naval officers after
thirty years service on three-quarters
pay. The Attorney General says that
paymasters' clerks form a part Of the
naval force. and If they are both Off
GERS and a part of the navy 1t seems i'm
possible to avoid the conclusion that they
are officers of the navy for the purposes
of the act of 1905

procedure in obtaining an every day
free lunch Lundy Stuart of Under
wood had a Boston bull pup shipped
out from Boston, and its principal
diet was milk, heretofore served from
a bottle. Mr.. Stuart recently pur-
chased a cow, and during milking time
the pup was an earnest observer OF
the source from which came his IA
vorite beverage. The pup was seen
to make regular trips to the barnyard
every night. The owner, to satisfy
his curiosity, followed his new charge
one evening and was amused at the
sight he beheld. The COW was lying
down, contentedly chewing her cud,
while the Boston freak was assuming
the role Of milkmaid in obtaining
his supper in the good old fashioned
infant way.
