Sylvester Denies That
Clerks Will Get HoIida,

Major Sylvester today denied a re-
port that a system had been inaugur-
ated in the Police Department whereby
clerks at Headquarters and men on re.
serve at the station houses would be
given every other Sunday on. As IT II
now, civilian employees work seven days
q week the same as regular members
of the force.
The major explained that on Sundays.
when there was but little clerical work.
employees who could be spared would be
excused. but that no orders had been
issued giving the men every other SUM-
day to themselves. Regarding the men
on reserve at the station houses. their
hours are regulated by Law. he said. and
therefore no change could possibly be
made.

Daniels Would Have
Schools on Warships

Every ship in the American navy
viii be a school and every officer a
schoolmaster. II Secretary Daniels has
his way. Addressing the opening ses-
sion OF the summer conference OF the
Naval War College at Newport, r. l..
Secretary Daniels said he believes 1t Is
time the Government is beginning to
live up to the handsome promises made
on the posters inviting young men to
Join the navy.
The chief lack in the navy today"
the Secretary said, is a systematic
and proper instruction OF the young
men who respond to our calls to en- list
and who man our ships. We have neg
the practical duties aboard ship. they
do not obtain the education which
should be given them in order to keep
the promises made as well as benefit
the navy"

NOW ABOUT GETTING MARRIED ?

Wisconsin's eugenic marriage law.
enacted at the last legislative session
and that goes into effect one week
from today, is coming in fer a let of
bard knocks from those officials who
have given it closest study, it being
pronounced entirely unavoidable. I"
Under the provisions Of this
law, every male applicant for a
marriage license on and after
January first must present to the
county CLERK q certificate of good
health, and unless he does SO, no
license can be issued. TIE require
sIneapts of the law in this regard are
SO strict that the necessary tests for
disease can not be made by the
ordinary practicing physicians, it is
claimed. it needing tee service of
drained laboratory specialist, with the
laboratory equipment to properly do
this, and testimony is offered that this
would require more than one sitting.
Only three dollars may be charged
a physician issuing a false certificate
may be proceeded against for felony.
If couple is refused license to marry
they may ask for writ of LAardamus
from the courts, or 60 outside the
state and then return. Ia such case
they would run up against another
provision of the law which MAX es
this a felony. 1t is beautiful situa-
&iou and what will be done to

are that test case will be made and

rience, writes a correspondent. | was
| invited to take a walk over the upper
! part Of the Houses OF Parliament and
having been through once. must
confess that | never want to repeat
the experience.
We went in through the door in
the corner of the central hall. After
little waiting. our eyes grew used 10
the gloom, and we ventured to move
few yards forward only TO stumble
as We went over the metals OF tiny
railway laid upon the floor at our feet.
Someone somewhere a long way of
switched on a light which sprang up
at the end of corridor that seemed
miles and miles away-a little flicker
of light at the end OF tunnel OF
gloom. We could see the metals Of
the railway going on and on ever so
far, and | was not at all surprised
when ! was told that 1t went over the
entire roof of the Houses of Parlia-
ment. Its use is the mere mundane
one of carrying Goals. which are put
In trucks and wheeled TO wherever
they are needed in the building.
Another light is switched on for a
moment to point us to where little
flight of stairs leads over the dome to
a dark, gloomy room guarded by
heavy iron door. We go through the
iron door and find ourselves in a little
chamber. from where, leaning over a
balcony, you can look right down on
TO the floor of the central hall itself.
We emerge again and mount an
other flight of stairs leading a little
way across the dome and here for the
hrst time we notice a peculiar noise
1t is like the roar OF huge traffic. so
crushed together that 1t is impossible
to distinguish the sound of any wheel
or the tap Of a horses foot. This
noise is really the noise of all the
winds of all the world which rush
into this tower through the openings |
and rush round and round again in |
their efforts to get free Even on a |
mild day the noise is so much that |
in ordinary tones is diff |
ticult. What 1t must be like on q
wild day can easily be imagined.
The whole place is eerie beyond I'M

ing little shudder as l stepped gin
