Utah has an annual celebration of

side world Avery year inthe fall all
the men in Utah who are past 10
Eears OF age are brought TO Salt Lake
City and entertained handsomely for
a week. Theft expenses of every kind
are paid by public committees which
have the matter in charge and are
authorized by the Mormon church to-
collect funds for the annual festival.
Though conducted by the church, the
festival is nonsectarlan, all the old
people being treated alike, regard

nent Is lavish. and when il is over

ne department points out that the
cost of transporting new recruits is
now about $4,000 a year. The de-
partment believes thar within three
years from the passage of retire
ment law the cost Of transporting re-
cruits would be reduced to $4,000.
The appropriation for recruiting Is
about $4,000 The department be-
lleves that in three years four recruit
ing officers--one at New York one at
Chicago or ST Louis. one in the south
west and one on the Pacific coast
could supply all the recruits necessary
at a saving of $4,000. The appropri-
alton for first outfit TO recruits now
amounts to about 81 100000. The de
partment argues that If the need for
recruits were reduced to. say, 5000 Il
year this would be reduced to $3.50.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN NEW YORK

WOMAN SUF'FRAGE in NEW Iofsh
Woman suffrage appears TO be adj
vancing along distinctly peculiar lines
In the State of New York. 1t was not
long since a delegation of suraffgists
from New York City appeared before
the Legislators at Albany bearing a
banner inscribed with quotation
from Aristophanes which none of the
ladies who accompanied it as cham
pions OF the cause could or would
translate. Now we learn of further
novel arguments for the cause.
A houseboat bearing huge pen
nants of violet and green or yellow
and black" which are said to be the
suffrage colors and which may give
rise to the interesting question. Why
should suffrage have colors will
make the first trip along the rediyid-
ed Erie Canal soon and will enter
tain large numbers OF persons at tea
i'll each city" along the route. since
this is America, not England, some
may wonder whether the display Of
colors and the entertaining of large
numbers of people at tea is likely to
win votes for woman suffrage. There
may be others who win feel that a
more intellectual appeal is necessary
Furthermore, Mrs. Belmont-a
name heretofore to conjure with
stands sponsor for the annual assem-
blage of district club which causes
suffragists on Long Island ito look
forward with much excitement to the
egg and potato races and other ath-
letic contests, in each of which they
win strive to win a half dozen pairs
of silk stockings offered them as
prizes"
1t seems a far cry from the methods
of Elizabeth Cady stanton and Julia
Ward Howe to households, teas and
races for silk stockings. Record

GETTING MEN
FOR The NAVY.
New Retirement Law Expected
to Bring Recruits.
ECONOMY IN PENDING BILL

Difficulty at Present Is Not Only In
EnIisting Men, but In Inducing Them
to Re- nist--Too Many Green Hands
Now.
How to induce men to enlist In the
navy is one OF the problems which the
government has with il always. Mr..
Meyer, however, cooperating with the
members of the senate committee on
naval affairs, believes that satisfac-
tory solution has been hit upon. The
proposal is, in brief. to@retire enlisted
men after sixteen years honorable
service on part pay. The committee
has already reported such retirement
bill favorably.
Ever since the United States started
out to build navy that could compete
with the navy Of any other power the
great problem has been TO supply the
demand for enlisted men. Recruiting
stations have been multiplied until
they are TO be found in every city OF
any consequence in the country. Large
sums Of money have been spent in adj
vertising for men to serve in the navy.
In spite of all this. it has not been
possible for the department to keep the
force of enlisted men up to the
strength called for by the fighting YES.
sells afoat A still more serious prob
lem has been TO persuade men to re.
enlist after having served one term of
enlistment. Naval officers point out
that in the other great navies of the
world most Of the enlisted men, Or the
"buejackets," whether enlisted or COM
PEELED to enter the service, are men Of
mature experience.
Large Proportion of Green hands.
At present 26 per cent of the enlisted
men in the United States navy are on
their first enlistment. 16 per cent on
their second and only per cent on
their third enlistment. Pointing to
these tadstlcs, the naval officials say
that the United States fleet is there
fore hardly better than a feet for
training green bands and that in time
OF need under present conditions its
efficiency would be very materially
lessened. The senate committee on
naval affairs was influenced to some
extent at least, members Of the com
mittee say, by a statement from Rear
Admiral Dillingham; in which he point.
aH httf Ia f,
men do not continue in the service of
the navy is that with the present re-
tirement and pension laws there is not
a sufficient guarantee that some time
In the future these men will be able
to realize their hopes of an independ
ent home life, with ha bitation that
they can support as result of their
hard work for the government.
The Proposed New Law
The bill that has been favorably re.
ported proposes to retire the enlisted
men at the end Of sixteen years serv.
Ice on three-fourths pay. The depart
ment estimates the average pay at
which men would be retired at S66 a
month, plus allowance amounting to
$15.75. II all the enlisted men who
have served sixteen years or longer
should take advantage of the proposed
retirement law the cost tor the first
year would. II is estimated, be $780,

is proceeding on the theory that with
the proposed retirement law the gov
eminent would save a sum in excess
