Surgeons of Examining Board Crii-
cised for Report that Caused Lieu
tenant Colonels Retirement.

After an unceasing struggle conducted
for more than six years, Lieut. Col. Con-
stantine Marrast Perkins. u. s. N. c.,
retired. yesterday won a victory with
the transmission from the Navy Depart
ment to the House Naval Affairs Com
mittee of a letter from Secretary Dan
iels recommending passage OF a bill to
reinstate Col. Perkins in the active list
Of the Marine Corps. Col. Perkins volun-
tarily retired in 1907 to escape being in
voluntarily retired because OF alleged
mental Instability
The case Of Col Perkins Is one OF the
most famous that ever came up In the
Marine Corps. Secretary Daniels letter
states that he believes, as charged, an
Injustice was done in the Perkins case.
and therefore recommends legislation au-
thorizing his reinstatement
II has been charged by Col. Perkins
and his friends that he was ''railroaded'
out of the Marine Corps. He was ordered
before a retiring board in June, 1907, be-
cause of his alleged mental and physical
condition. The retiring board found that
Col Perkins was permanently uNsuiteo
TO his duties because of mental disabil-
ity." He was permitted, however, to ap-
ply for voluntary retirement. and given
six months leave OF absence. At the end
Of the six months, he sought to withdraw
his application. but was permanently re-
tired on December 81, 1907.
Col. Perkins was so successful in his
efforts TO convince members Of the Naval
Committee that an injustice had been
done min. that during the Sfxty-second
Congress the following statement was
contained in a favorable report OF the
committee on his case:
The retirement Of Col. Perkins was
therefore not voluntary, but was pro-
cured by fraud. The development Of this
fact is a complete vindication. but the
bill authorizing his reinstatement should
be passed"

Vegetarian Furs Are
Fast Gaining in
Popularity.

Where once there were ten
queer people" to be met who ate
no corpses, there are a thousand
to-day.
And where ten years ago the
menu of the vegetarian was
most limited and melancholy one
to-day it is rich in variety and
appetizing in taste and excellent
in its nourishing results.
The writer recently met a man
of SO who was in magnificent
health; virile, handsome and pos
sessed of a most brilliant mind.
An orator and a thinker of unu-
sual power, this man had never
in his life tasted meat, fish, fowl,
eggs, coffee, alcoholic drinks or
tobacco,
He was born and bred in India,
and his simple diet of fruit, vege-
tables, cereals and milk with an
occasional dissipation in a cup Of
weak teal had sufficed to make
him what he was in brain and
body. The vegetarians have often
been confused when confronted by
the seeming necessity of furs in
cold weather to protect the body
from icy winds and zero temper
allure.
As among their members they
number many women of fashion,
they have also realized the diff

IVY OMAN is slow in her
w growth toward the stand
ard of life, which illus
trates in her daily and hourly
conduct the kindness and the
sympathy which are supposed to
be her chief characteristics. New
er was this fact more clearly and
painfully illustrated than in the
anger and rebellion which the
majority of women exhibited
when the law forbidding the i'm
porting or wearing of aigrettes
and plumage of dead birds was
enforced.
There was a resounding cry
against the tyranny of American
laws and much sarcastic COM
ment on the land of the free.
Women who occupied high po-
sitions socially and in artistic cir
cles felt their rights had been
infringed upon, and they were
loud in denunciation of the law
which interfered with their privi-
lege to aid and abet the destruc-
ton of song birds and birds Of
beautiful plumage.
The very fact that it requires a
law to prevent women from incit-
ing wholesale slaughter of these
glorious little creatures is re-
flection on the sex.
But the enforcing Of this law
has awakened new brain cells in
the inventive organs of men and
women milliners, and we are see
ing most attractive hats composed
of materials which are far more
hygienic and more exquisite than
portions of dead birds, and which
allow a greater variety of taste to
be displayed in millinery skill.
And now come the vegetarian
furs."
Whenever there is an insistent
demand for anything in this world
it creates a supply.
The growth of the humane So
cieties and the spirit of human
itarianism has given a remark
able impetus to the vegetarian or
ganiZation.

sea. Thus the extension and per-
lection OF the system of wireless
communication will furnish the
round earth with a network of
ethereal nerves which, like the
nerves of the body, will instanta-
neously give warning of trouble,
wherever located, and at the same
time point out where aid is need

The simplicity OF the receivers
now in use is astonishing When
Marconi and others were seek
