WHY ARMY HARBORS
MANY DETECTIVES
Officer of Medical Corps Says
Lax Recruiting Methods
Are Responsible

Capt. Edgar King, of the army
medical corps, has submitted to the
war department an intereiting and
valuable report on the subject of de,
linquents and detectives in the mill
tary service.
Captain King for some time has
racks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas
and he preceded his present duty with
long period Of observation and re-
search at the government hospital for
the insane. He is the author of sew
eral reports that have to do, with the
insar IN the army and as result OF
his study Of the subject Captain King
has come to be regarded as an au
thOrity of the psychology of delin'
quents and those that hitherto have
been regarded as entitled to punish
ment for desertibn and other offenses
The adoption Of the new system OF
dealing with military prisoners under
the war department afforded oppof,
tunity for more extensive investiga.
ton, and captain King was ordered to
Fort Leavcnworth for the purpose of
continuing the work. His conclusions,
bhe uetdllS Oh WHicn FlOI IHo PI0SVh'
are withheld, are of vast Importance
and they are destined to have a direct
effect upon the method of military
discipline and upon the system of re-
eruiting # ~.
The latter phase of the subject has
been dealt with by Captain King in
thorough manner, He points out
as a result of inquiry applied to some
1900 individual cases, that II Is neces,
sary to exercise greater care in the
acceptance of recruits and he indi
Gates method by which this may he
done in way accurately to determine
the antecedent history and persohal
character Of a candidate for enlist
ment. Captain King has found that
in many cases that have come under
his observation and that have in
voTved the exercise Of discipline therC
were circumstances that, had they
been known to the military authori
ties, would have justified the rejection
of the candidate. g. 49,.

Stronger Defenses For Pacific

PORTLAND, Oregon, August 23.--
William H. Taft, addressing the Press
Club here last night, pleaded for the
support of a policy of better military
and naval preparedness for the nation
and for stronger defenses for the
Pacific Coast.
The Coast Notifications, he declared,
are today the one efficients feature of
the system of defense, but the navy was
not in position to do its share in the
time of attempted invasion, should that
time ever come.
The navy, he said, should be enlarged
and strengthened. When that is &C.
comPlished any attempt TO land a hos
tile force on the Pacific Coast could be
repulsed and defeated.

Brigadier General George p. Scriven,
chief signal officer of the United States
army, is a warm advocate of the ex-
tension of the aviation service. In his
last annual report General Scriven
urged the training of men of the ma
tional guard Id aerial warfare and the
establishment of reserve corps of aero
nauts throughout the country.
mot only is the aeroplane invalua-
ble," he says, 'in locating the position
of the enemy. but it has especial value
to q commander in finding his own
troops, in keeping him informed when
movements are taking place, with the
position of his tanks and center, his
outposts, to inform his cavalry of the
positions attained by detached body
IN short, of keeping him constantly in
touch with the locations and move
ments of all his troops"
Born in Pennsylvania in 1854, Briga-
der General Scriven was appointed to
the West Point Military academy in
1874. On his graduation four years
later he was assigned as a second lieu
tenant to the Eighth infantry. Later
he was transferred to the artillery. and
in 1890 he was appointed TO the signal
corps. In January, 1912. he attained
the rank of colonel in the signal corps
and was the only officer of that rank
in the organization. He succeeded
Brigadier General James Allen as CHIEF
signal officer in February of last year
During the Boxer trouble in China il

served as chief signal officer of the
relief expedition and was recommend
ed for the brevet of lieutenant colone

When house brushes require clean
ing put a sufficient quantity of tepid
water into fat pan to cover the bris-
ties, but not the backs. To each quart
of water add three tablespoonfuls of
ammonia. Allow the brushes to soak
for ten minutes, rinse in cold water
until it is clear and then dry the
brushes in the air, bristles downward.
Treated in this manner brushes seldom
warp. Never use soap in washing hair
brushes. Take piece of soda, dissolve
it in warm water and stand the brush
in it, taking care that the water only
covers the bristles. 1t will almost inn

Then stand it to dry in the open air

One Of the newest flying machines
is said to be shaped on the plan of
a maple seed. This seed has, as we
know, one long, queerly curving wing
and two seeds hang from the stem in
pairs, making very pretty pair Of tiny
wings to dangle in the breeze or to
float far in the wind when they break
from the twig. The new aeroplane,
however, is shaped like single wing
and seed. 1t has what is called hol-
low blade wing given its motion by a
rapid current OF air that passes
through 1t from an engine at the OPP
pOsite end of the machine. The ma
chine win rise or descend vertically
and will remain in one position or go
ahead as the driver chooses. When
the engine Is stopped the machine re-
wolves like winged maple seed and
sails to the earth.

Five cards are shown, and some one
person is asked to think of two cards
in the lot, after which the performer
places the cards behind his back and
removes any two cards, then shows
the remaining three and asks if the
two cards In mind have been removed.
The answer is always yes, as it cannot
be otherwise.
To prepare the cards, take any ten
cards from the pack and paste the
back OF one card to another, making
five double cards. Removing any two
cards behind the performers back re-
duees the number OF cards to three
and when these are turned over they
