NAVAL MILITIA TO
 BE PROGRAMMED

Washington, March 10.-Extra efforts are being made by Assistant Secretary Winthrop of the navy department, in charge of the naval militia, to insure a full representation of that organization in the exercises this summer. cir cular issued today announces that the drills will take place on the Atlantic coast July 24-31, inclusive, and that the men should obtain 10 days leave. The rendezvous will be at Governors Bay, Long Island.
 On the Great Lakes the exercises will take place August to r inclusive, with the rendezvous at Thunder Bay and a cruise down the lakes to Buffalo will follow. In California the Marblehead will take part of the militia and the others will go aboard the Pacific feet The pe- riod selected Is July IF to "A, inclusive, which also requires a 10 days leave.
 In the case of the naval militia of Louisiana, North Carolina and Missouri 1t is recommended that arrangements be made for as many cruises in seven days duration as the regulations permit on their own vessels, as they cannot be trans ported to the battleship fleet.
 As the vessels assigned to the states on the Atlantic coast will accommodate only . part of the total force, the ex- cess will be placed on the battleship fleet.

TAFT WITHDRAWS
 NAME OF STONE

Washington, March 10.-Those who have
 been fighting the reappontment of Will
 liam F. Stone as collector of customs at
 Baltimore had their inning today when President Taft practically withdrew MT. Stones nomination, which had been sent
 to Congress. The White House preferred
 to have it said, though, that MT. Stone s
 nomination will be held without action un- til after March 12, when delegation of Baltimore men who oppose the collector will be heard.
 Since Thomas J. Wentworth, secretary of the Baltimore Business Mems associa-
 tion. came here yesterday and made se- rious charges against MT. Stone, reflect ing upon his personal connection in Balti-
 more and his conduct of the collectors s office, as well as charging the President with bad faith in nominating MT. Stone. when he had already set a date for the hearing of those opposed to him, the sit
 uation shifted rapidly
 Early in the day it was announced that the President would not reply to Mir Stones critics; that he washed his hands
 of the whole matter and would leave it
 for Secretary MacVeagh to deal with in
 the treasury department.
 Later in the day, however. Postmaster General Hitchcock and others held con- ferences with the President and it was
 announced shortly after that MT. Stones nomination would be held in abeyance
 until the opposition Is heard.

 we'll that class of cooks at least prove the utter futilty of the chemical side of the question, don't theyT' said an Easter brde-elect, who was working on the daintiest of lingerie land I'd like to know why girls should have to be taught cooking, anyway. I despire everything connected with the kitchen and never mean to learn" at which statement all Of those who had "been there" knew that it came sooner or later to every girl that keeps house, matters not how she dis likes it.
 "I believe in cooperative housekeep- ing she continued not in the least awed by the High Brows' who were still glaring at her from underneath their needles Where one kitchen supplies a dozen households with meals. and where culinary experts can turn out things by the wholesale. Think of what drtdgerv and labor women would be saved if this could be arranged. If I ever have to prepare meal when Tom and 1 go to housekeeping l am going to have canned salmon and plum pudding for breakfast Tor they come in a can and don't have to be cooked and I wouldn't cook break fast-thinlS of 1t. breakfast-for anybody in the world''

It's sort of tradition that if a woman wants to keep her husbands love she must see that he is properly ted and even my father used to compliment me on my excellent cooking, not to speak of my husband and my boys"
 Well. l fear that Tom will fare very badly If he is thinking that l am going to cook and sew and scrub and do all that sort of thing" sulkily replied the bride-elect and If those are the require ments for marital bliss then I resign now before I'm ever elected
 Tt IS great thing for girl to feel perfectly confident that she can go into the kitchen" came the good advice from the aunt, after her marriage and pre- pare as good a meal for her husband as his mother did, whether one likes to do that sort of thing or not for there is not man alive who doesn't admire a woman who can grace the kitchen as well as the parlor, and I am greatly opposed to all these new-fangled ideas about CO., operative housekeeping and apartment houses, and hotel life and all such tommy rot, and I consider Tom far too nice a young fellow to be treated in any such manner"
 And the Easter bride-elect sat pensive- ly embroidering, realizing no doubt that it would be useless to protest and so she said mary a word"

withdrawal of Lands.

81 have referred to the course OF the last
administration and OF the present one in
making Withdrawals OF government lands
from entry under homestead and other
laws and of congress in removing all doubt
as to the validity OF these Withdrawals as
a great step In the direction OF practical
conservation. But II is only one OF two
necessary steps to effect what should be
our purpose II has produced status QUO
and prevented waste and irrevocable dis
position of the lands until the method for
their proper disposition can be formulated.
But It Is OF the utmost Importance that
such Withdrawals should not be regarded
as the final step in the course of conseTva-
ton, and that the idea should not be al
lowed to spread that conservation is he
tying up OF the natural resources OF the
government for indefinite Withholding from
use and the remission to remote generations
to decide what ought TO be done with these
means of promoting present general human
comfort and progress. For, n so, II is
certain to arouse the greatest opposition
to conservation as a cause, and IL it were
a correct expression of the purpose OF
oonservatonists It ought TO arouse this OPP
position. Real conservation involves wise,
non-wasteful use In the present generation,
with every possible means of preservation
for succeeding generations; and though
the problem to secure this end may be diff
ficult, the burden is on the present genera
ton promptly to solve It and not to run
away from 1t as towards, lest in the at
tempt to meet II we may make some mis-
take. As have said elsewhere, the prob
lem is how to save and how to utilize, how
to conserve and still develop; for no sane
person can contend that II Is for the com
mon good that natures blessings should be
stored only for unborn generations.
IT beg OF you, therefore, In your delibera-
lions and In your informal discussions,
when men come forward to suggest evils
that the promotion OF conservation is to
remedy, that you invite them to point out
the specific evils and the specific remedies;
that you invite them to come down to de-
tails in order that their discussions may
flow into channels that Ehall be useful
rather than into periods that shall be
eloquent and entertaining without shedding
real light on the subject. The people
should be shown exactly what Is needed In
order that they make their representatives
in congress and the state legislature do
their intelligent bidding"
