GUM CHEWING IN THE
 NAVY FRoWNED UPON. Habit Branded as "DeeidedIy Objeo- tionabIe for Obvious Reasons"

Washington, Nov. 17.-Gum chewing is the latest practice to meet with the disapproval of the navy department. Indeed, the department has decreed that gum shall no longer form part of the stocks of ships stores either on shore or afioat The decree follows a recommendation by Captain William F. FulIam. former commander of the Mississippi. He brands the habit as decidedly objectionable for obvious reasons"
 Captain Fullam'a recommendation was made in the interest of good dis cipline. He says: The habit of chew ing gum at training stations and on baord ship aids to constant reports for chewing gum in ranks, at quarters and at other times when it is highly improper and unmilitary. If men are encouraged to form this habit on board ship the navy deliberately in- vites them to do something one min ute for which they may be punished the next"
