GepsOn Says He Has
Excuse for Having
Report Mussed UE

THAT the female of the species is more
neat than the male" is considered a
proven fact since Superintendent z. U.
Graft received the annual reports from
the principals Of schools
. One mere man--Principal E. d. Gepson
Of the Fort Special School for Boys-sent
in report. This report was somewhat
crumpled. There were ink stains here
and there and a few words scratched out.
The reports from the women principals
we're the acme of neatness, not a blur,
not blotch.
The reports are on exhibit to prove to
the militant feminine that a man is more
or less rough in writing and that women
will do the same work better than a man.
Gepson has an excuse, however. He
says he makes the report at the school
amid the din OF industry and flying ink
wells, sticks. stray type and things.

SHIRTS FOR MILITIA.
State of Connecticut is Ordered to
 Lay in Supply.

At the urgent request of the war de- partment, the state of Connecticut must lay in a supply of service shirts for our national guardsmen. The ad- jutant generals office has about three months in which to scurry about to secure the olive drab shirts, that are necessary before Connecticut will get a penny of the federal appropriation for militia maintenance.
 Orders issued by the war department and now being circulated among oh1- cers of the guard insist that to se- cure money the state must have 1D serviceable condition 100 uniforms per leach senator and representative. Each uniform, the orders say, must consist of one hat, one olive-drab wool coat, one olive-dra.b wool trousers, one pair leggins, one blanket, one oIive-d drab wool blanket, one broncho for dismounted men, and one slicl5eT for mounted men,
 Heretofore each mounted man has had to purchase his own shirt. costing as high as S3.50. He received abso. lutely no credit from the state for buying it and he had to buy no oth- CT part of his uniform. Hence there has been much dissatisfaction among the enlisted men, And there has been also a great difference in shirts that the men wore.
 But all tt-is must be done away with if the state desires it's appropriation s.this year.
