NAVY TO MAKE UNIFORMS.
Daniels Plans to Establish Tailoring
Outfit at Charleston Yard.

Washington.-In line with his policy
Of utilizing navy stations and yards In
the south, where large expenditures
have been made for buildings, Secre-
tary Daniels has decided to establish
at the Charleston navy yard manu-
featuring plant for the production of
such parts of marine and naval militia
uniforms that can be economically
made there. The secretary has made
thorough investigation of the cost of
making such articles on contract or in
the open market and finds that the
government can effect large saving
by doing the work itself. Labor con.
ditions and the proximity to southern
cotton mills promise more than ordi-,
nary economy in plant at Charleston.
and the money is available to install
the machinery required.
The plan accords with the secretary's
determination to ask congress for as
little money as possible for buildings
at navy yards and shore stations. Mr.
Daniels said that the new shops at
Charleston would not curtail operations
in the shops at New York or Philadel
phia.

SLOT MACHINES REMAIN.
Can't Prevent Sale Of Stamps at More
Than Their Value.


Washington postoffice depart.
ment has no authority to discontinue
the sale of postage stamps through slot
machines maintained in hotel lobbies
drug stores, newsstands or other places
Of business. This was the decision
reached by the postmaster general aft
er receiving complaints against the
sale of stamps in this manner.
The machines sell four one-cent or
two two-cent stamps for nickel, max
ing a profit to the merchant Of cent
on each transaction. Many indignant
citizens wrote to the postofice depart
ment denouncing this as extortion.
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Dockery said that while there Is a
law prohibiting the sale of stamps at
more than their face value it applies
only to postmasters and their en-
ployees, and the government has no
jurisdiction over stamp vending ma
chimes located elsewhere than on post
office premises.

A metal bread board covered with
nickel is much more easily kept clean
than any wooden board. for it absorbs

Mrs. Potter Palmer.

Mrs. Potter Palmer, president Of
the board of women managers of the
Worlds Columbian exposition, has
issued a statement telling of the
whereabouts of funds derived from
the sale of souvenirs during the
worlds fair. She says the money,
which amounted to $4,000 at the
end Of the fair, was invested in Sc
curities and placed in a safe deposit
box. The fund has grown through
interest until it amounts today to
S67.750.

Dressing the Sponge.
When sponges are first torn from
the sea bed they are of dark color
and living. By tramping and press
ing them with the feet a milky sub
stance oozes out, whereupon the
sponge dies. They are then i'm
mersed in the sea for a space of
eight or ten hours. The dark, Shiny
substance is then removed by scrap
ing, and gradually, through clean
ing, drying and bleaching, they take
on the fine yellow color which char
acterizes manv of them.
