Army Officers on Detached Duty to Be Removed

it requires that any officer responsible
for a failure to obey 1t to the full
shall forfeit his pay and allowances.
Consequently every officer who has
not served at least two of the last six
years in command Of troops will have
to return to his regiment before De
cember IS. II has also been found by
the law officers of the war department
that about a third more Of the officers
on detached service will have to be
removed within six months. A large
number of officers on detached duty
in Washington are caught pretty Sc
verely by this order.
1t is said that there are officers who
have not been with their commands
for years, as they have had pull
enough to keep them in easy jobs here
in Washington, where they can do
their stunts and not half try, and fill
in the rest of the time doing society
acts.
Washington society without its
army and navy officers is mighty slow.
There has always been feminine In.
duence to keep plenty of the young
men on detached duty in Washington.
OF course this order of congress is
obligatory.

Admission to Society in New York

New York.-Time was when break
lag into New York society was a sim
pie matter. You merely waited. Event
ually, In the course of several genera
tions, you stood a chance Of being
invited to the very best houses.
1t was three generations before the
Astors amounted to anything as So
cial beings in this community, writes
a New York correspondent. The Van
derbilts made the extraordinary leap
IN better time-in two generations
thanks to the mental resources and
determination of doughty social war
rior whom the family acquired By mar
riage, and later lost by divorce.
People get in" New York society
now in few years; sometimes in a
single season.
Now a multiplicity of avenues Of ap-
proach have been discovered. Here
are ten: Dogs, women's clubs, pub
'jcity, charity, summer resorts, graft,
the opera, first nights, travel (for-
eign), woman suffrage.
The avenue of dogs alone indicates
the advance we have made. Some cyu-
ics may call it retrogression. How
cruel when one can thus lessen the
years necessary for a social entree!
Children used to be the avenue OF
approach, which has been usurped by
the later pets.
One of the first moves Of the so
cially ambitious woman in New York
these days is the requirement Of dog.
II the proper beginning is made, II
the right sort Of dog is secured, the
next step is to enter him at the first
exclusive dog show. This may be
done the very first year. And there
che woman has her first social oppor-
tunity.
There are dog luncheons, dog din
ners, dog receptions to which her
canine will be invited, and no canine
can 20 alone. The mistress must be
included. Some day she may event
ally be invited on her own account
Another avenue for the social climb
ST is the summer resort and foreign
travel. In itself New York is
glacial city, socially. Its surfaces are
so rounded that it must be hardy
climber who can secure hold Thus
many have resolved to bring into the
strategy of their campaign flank as
sault on the citadel of caste
They remove their artillery to
distance They pay outrageous prices
to the hotels in the fashionable re-
sorts in summer and to the stopping
places on the grand tour to Europe In
the hope of thus scraping valuable
acquaintance.
Most of them fail. The average ten.

elsewhere is seven years-the life Of

Smoke Aba.smen, In Scotland.

Tho gas and electrical departments
OF a corporation in Glasgow, Scotland,
are competing keenly in the exhibl-
ton Of appliances for the reduction OF
smoke from furnaces and kitchen
ranges. The electricity department
has complete electrically fitted res
taurant, where all the cooking, the
kitchen work, the cleaning, the heat
ing and the lighting are effected by
electric current. The gas department
has a "gas equipped house." in which
all the cooking and heating is done by
gas fires, as we'll as many OF the 9TH
er operations in connection with house
keeping, and in which all the lighting
is obtained from incandescent gas
burners Of different types. The cor
poration is encouraging the reduction
of smoke, not only by holding these
periodical exhibitions, but also by
lending gas cookers free TO all the
citizens It has loaned $1,000 Of these
cookers since March l. 1t Is also

for these has been so great that 1t

scribes it, Between the two strata of

Tho is Matching diamond back terra
pin these days, and proving that the
tasty reptile can be conserved and a
supply arranged for generations to
come. This will be good news to the
bon vivant. for It has been proclaimed
that the finest favored member OF the
terrapin family will soon be extinct.
Barbee, who has been in the busi-
ness of catching and selling terrapin
for twenty-three years, began to study
the matter Of establishing hatcheries.
He has succeeded. The female terra
pin has habit Of depositing about
ten eggs a month. She spreads them
out on the sand and gets away, having
no further interest in her offspring
But the crows, who are as fond OF
terrapin as is a millionaire, swoop
down upon them.
Barbee established a farm where
this year he will hatch 10000 little
diamond backs.
At this farm, which in on the Isle OF
Hope, about nine miles from Savan-
nah, the terrapin go to him when he
calls. When he feeds them he foods

when they have fed the water is drawn

There are almost two sides to the
simple little facts of life, There is
this matter Of drinking water at ones
meals. II has been regarded as a mis-
cradle habit The school textbooks
teach 10 that way, and they give very
impressive reasons for it. It used to
be taught-drink at your meals, II
you feel like it; drink oil you want;
It is good for you; helps digestion.
Then came the opposite doctrine,
never drink at your meals, and not
for an hour afterward, and that idea
has prevailed and is a part Of our wise
school knowledge these days. Now
comes Professor Hawk OF the Univer-
sity Of Illinois who has been study.
ing the subject for seven years, and
his conclusion is that water-drinking
at meals helps digestion, principally
by utilizing the protein food, which is
regarded as the most important func-
tioa Of digestion. says the Ohio Jour
nay Then, fluids help digest the fats
and throttle the bacteria that range
along the alimentary canal and keep
stirring up all sorts Of tumults. So
the latest information is not to let
anybody scare you about drinking wa.
ter at your meals. Just drink what
you want and forget about it.

LEGEND OF NATURAL BRIDGE
II Saved the Mohesana and was

Al a height OF 2i5 feet above Clear

thick, II spans the creek. II Is

beloved national hero. George Wash-
ington, once climbed II and carved
his name upon It's side The Mohegan
tribe OF Indians called It the Bridge
Of God and ascribed to II this super
natural origin.
Once upon a time It happened that
the Mohegans were nj war with nos
tile tribe Of Indians Tho fight was
hot. and a valiant stand they made
against their foe. But at last the MO
hegans were forced 20 give way ana
70 retreat. On and on they went,
the whole tribe with their women and
children. and the enemy behind them.
Finally they came TO n precipice. Re

and no way TO cross or means TO es-
cape was anywhere 10 be seen Peril
Gus and helpless indeed was the
plight OF the Mohegans They we're
ready TO give up and submit to the
cruel fate that was pursuing them.
Then n wise man OF the tribe spoke.
MY children" he said. "go down upon
your knees and pray to the Great
Spirit above, who alone can save US
from our mlsfortunes"
All In a body they obeyed the words
OF the old medicine man. Long and
hard they prayed When they finally
lifted mp their heads, 10, there stood
mighty bridge Across It they now
led the women and children and then
turned upon their foes, who were
close at hand They gave the enemy
a hard battle and finally repulsed and
detected them In gratefulness to
Manitou, the Great Spirit of the world,
they named this bridge the Bridge Of
God.
