Ensign Hoefer expressed the opinion
that the naval militia law, passed only
last February, will do more than anything
else to promote efficiency among the naval
militia organizations of the country. Its

BY STRONG WIND

The strong wind at Tenth and Mar

rectlon of Market street
Just as the man reached the al

and the DUPONT Building, a gust Of
wind swept through the alley, struck
him and carried him across the
street on a run He was travelling
at a lively rate, when he landed
against the door of the Ford Build
ing. His elbow struck the glass In
the door and shattered It.
The man then hastened down Tenth
