MAY ESTABLISH
NAVAL RESERVE
Becretary of the Navy Meyer to
Present Plans to Congress
for Legislation.
MAY TRAIN CIVILIANS
TO OPERATE WAR VESSELS
More Than $4,000 Men to Be En-
rolled, Principally from Mer-
chant Marine.

Secretary Of the Navy Meyer expects
TO present to Congress. soon after the
first of the year, a special report con-
tanning data on which to base legisla-
ton for the establishment of a naval
reserve. The tentative inquiries OF the
Navy Department. addressed to men of
the merchant marine. have met with
such a favorable response that the de-
partment officials have high hopes OF
carly action on the matter.
The naval reserve contemplated in the
departments scheme, which was set on
foot by Secretary Meyer. is to be quite
distinct from the naval militia. The
purpose of the naval militia is to train
civilians for all duties necessary for the
operation of a battleship. The proposed
naval reserve is intended TO supply Of
ficers and men for the great fleet of
auxiliary vessels which war would at
once add to the United States Navy.
II is hoped to enroll 1000 men. il
possible. in the naval reserve when il
is finally organized. Naval officers esti-
mate that in time of war at least four
auxiliary vessels will be needed to every
frst-class fighting ship. Or, according
10 naval estimates, total Of 300 auNil-
isry vessels will be needed by the United
States Navy in time OF war. These
vessels will be used to carry ammuni-
tion. to carry coal, stores, and men. and
also to do scout and blockade duty.
The vessels will be obtained in what
ever number is necessary, by purchase
or rental, from their private owners.
During the Spanish-American war scores
OF yachts. merchantmen. and passenger
liners were quickly acquired for service
with the navy as auXiliaries.
As there was in 1898 no naval reserve,
great confusion and delay resulted In the
taking over of vessels acquired from out
side sources. Either the vessels had to
lie in dock until men could be drafted
from the regular personnel of the navy
to command and man them. or they had
to be sent out in charge OF men not in
the naval service, over whom the gov
ernment could not exert that same de-
gree Of control as it can over its own
men. By means OF the proposed re-
serve. 1t is intended to avoid all this
The plan is to have the call into service
OF men enrolled in the reserves consti-
tute their enlistment in the naval serv-
ice.

vARNISHING DAY.
Il Brings Many Surprises at the Eng
lish Royal Academy.

H10 noyAt ACau0n1y,
When the hanging committee Of tho
English Royal academy has completed
the work Of "hansing." the artists
whose pictures are exhibited on the
OF pasteboard known as a "varnishlnG
card" This card Is the first intima
ton the artist receives that his picture
has passed triumphanty through the
processes Of judging and hanging
and II allows him to visit the academy
on a particular day-"varnshing day
just before the galleries are thrown
open to the public. Hundreds Of
knights of the brush are to be found
In the galleries of Burlington House
on vanishing day" and here and
there are flights Of steps and impro-
vised platforms covered with artists
putting the last loving touches to their
canvases. Here, perched on the top
rung of pair of steps. is young lady
with smiling face scraplng her picture
with a palette knife and putting in
fresh spots Of paint occasionally, while
on the tioor at her feet Is a young man
whose features are the picture Of mis-
cry, his eyes roaming toward the cell
ing. His canvas is hopelessly skied.
and he is silently abusing the members
of the hanging committee for their
lack of Judgment
"Varnishing day" brings many sur
prises to the exhibitors One man will
find his canvas wrongly named. and
another, an lmpressionist. may be star
tied to discover that his glorious sun
set, over which he has taken so much
pains, is upside down And for the
first time he realizes that an impress
sionist's pictures can be turned about
any way without greatly endangerins
the effect.
Turner had one of his paintings
hung upside down. and old academi-
clans we'll remember that little cam
vas, "A Sleeping Nalad." was once. ow.

The frilled lizard is found in Austria

long, measured from head TO tail point
What makes 1t remarkable consists Of
two things-its hurried walk and its

1t carries a sort of natural umbrella

University Faculty Bars All
Drinkers.

To make dryness doubly dry,
the faculty Of the State Univers-
ity has assumed control over the
actions of the students not only
while they are in Eugene, where
no liquor can be sold, but even
when they leave the college town
for other cities. A drastic rule
has been passed under which
drinking in any saloon makes a
student subject to dismissal.
Noimproprieties had been re-
ported, but it was thought best to
90 on record at once, and let the
students know what to expect.
The faculty feels that this exten-
sion of authority is justified by
the fact that many of the students
are under age, and are entrusted
to the University by their parents
and that it will be sustained by
the public sentiment of Oregon.
In Eugene the anti-liquor law
has been enforced for six years.

LIVING ON 500 A MONTH

InGs, bedspread, and cotton rugs to match.
When kitchen and bathroom walls are
painted white or as light in color as posi-
BILE they are always cheerful, sanitary
and easily kept clean.
Much depends on the purchasing OF
food. In buying staples it is best to buy
once a month instead of In very small
quantities; vegetables twice week makes
marketing and the preparation Of meals
much easier; meats and fish from day
to day, unless in buying roasts or larger
quantities than for one meal Always
select the meat and be careful to buy so
there will be no waste in anything.
II the wife does not at first understand
just how to use up little bits OF food, with
practice and a little thought she will soon
surprise herself with the many wonderful
things she can accomplish, and how fire.
quently they can have guests to dinner
with little extra effort and with but
slight additional expense.
The washwoman comes once a week,
and under a good system she does the
washing, ironing. scrubbing, and heavy
cleaning. Days when the wash Is not
heavy she cleans windows or woodwork.
While meat is so high fish may be used
two or three times a week. There are
many kinds of fish and many delicious
ways Of preparing 1t. Vegetables and
fruit in season are not expensive, and
there are many dainty and delicious des-
serts which one takes pleasure In serving.
II the wife is skillful with the needle,
(which she should be,) she can make her
house gowns, shirtwaists aprons, under
clothes, and little evening frocks. By
watching the bargains Il do not mean by
bargains cheap things, but good things at
REASONABLE prices) ready-made coats or
suits may be fought at a small outlay.
The high cost of living is one of the
most important problems of the day, but
one need not feel that living on 500
a month means to entirely do without
theatres and other like amusements nor
to keep constantly at hard work: but

not admitted to membership. Then the
doors were grudgingly opened a little way
and they were allowed to enter as a sort
OF annex. Are they still the annex? At
any rate, a different and wholly modern
spirit in this respect is manifest in the
recently organized Federation OF ORA
matte Clubs. which seems likely to prove
a serious rival to the older society.
The demand for the American play has
risen by leaps and bounds during the last
decade. and with 1t has risen also with
equal rapidity the standard of the play
demanded by managers and by the public.
The manager, with his finger on the pulse
of the public desire. is eager for the
American play and will turn down in its
favor, II the play but warrant it, a Eu-
ropean success. 1t must have, however.
certain essentials. And the first of these
Is originality. Doubtless there are no
