Reserve Naval Officers.

Perhaps nothing could show more
impressively our failure to systematic
the resources of national defence than
the anouncemnt from Washington that
the Navy Department began recently
an inquiry to learn how many retired
officers would be available if their ser
vices should be needed.
The list is TO include officers who
have asked for retirement. those who
have been "plucked" and such as have
been retired for a physical disability
that would not incapacitate them for
special duty. officers, as is well known.
have left the navy after a few years Of
service to accept profitable business
positions. Many of them are still in
the prime of life. Others have fallen
victims to thep lucking board, and this
class includes some fen fighting mate
rial for the service.
So far the Bureau of Navigation
which is preparing the list of available
officers, has discovered that the coun-
try is rich in competent officers en-
gagged in civil pursuits or on the shelf
through no fault of their own. But
how astounding is that the Navy De-
partment has not kept track of them
Even the colleges know where their
alumni are. and what they are doing.
In short. they always keep in touch
with them. The thought that the navy
has not be able to put its hand upon the
men educated at Annapolis out of the
publics funds is positively flabber-
casting
We observe that the classification
does not apply to officers who have re-
tired for age" OF course the Depart
ment has their names, as they are in
receipt OF retired pay. But it should
not be assumed that all. of them are
unfit for service. Army Off
GERS retire at the age of sixty-four navy
officers two years earlier. Surely there
are navy veterans over sixty-two who
could respond to their country's call. /
Some of them are five and even ten
years younger than their age, for sea
service makes sound men.
We undertake to say that Rear-Ad- /
niral Hugo Osterhaus, who command |
ed the Atlantic feet, Just before he re-
tired recently, could still do his turn of |
iuty, and there are many officers on
he retired list like him. There were.
IN November l, 1914, no less than 147 |
'etired rear-admirals and forty-five re-
ired commmodores What a wealth OF /
good material there still is among

Uncle WiggiIy and Gravity AWly.

stick end.
MY, Mud turtles are certainly
slow thought Uncle Wiggily. But,
for all that, Crawly-Awly is a nice
little chap. | like him"
Wen, the rabbit gentleman rode on
and on, looking for an adventure, but
he could not seem to find any. He
rode on some more, md then ate his
lunch. Then he rode some more and
ate his supper, II was getting dark,
and he thought he would have to go
back to his hollow stump bungalow
without having had n fun at all,
when, all Of "A sudden, something
happened.
out from the bushes jumped the
bad old fox. with a spring and a
snap Of his teeth he bit a mole in
each OF Uncle Wiggily's automobile
tires. out went the air with a hiss,
Ike a snake, and the tires were sud
denly as flat as a pancake. Uncle
WiEgily had TO stop his auto.
"Ah hai Now | have youl'
harked the fox. you made the tall
pulling chimpanzce monkey and the
ca~r-scratching cat be good, 50 they
wouldn't bother you. But you can't
make me good, and I'm going to take
you away with mel"
"Oh, please DON'T" begged Uncle
Wiggily.
Eyes, / win" said the fox.
Well, he was just going to grab
Uncle Wiggily out Of the auto and
carry the rabbit gentleman away to
a fON-den in the woods, when all OF
a sudden Uncle Wiggily heard down in
the road beside him a little voice whis-
pering:
"Uncle Wiggily, Uncle Wiggily! Pick
me up and throw me at the fox. Hit
him on his soft and tender nose with
me. See, ! can pull in my legs and
my head and my tail so they won't be
hurt, and I'll be just like a stone.
Throw me at the foxl 1t will scare
him away, and II won't hurt me-"
And there, in the road, was Gravity
Awlv. the mud turtle boy. He was on
his way home from the store.
Throw me at the fox!' he wihis-
pored.
81 Will" uncle Wiggily said bravely,
like.
Here I come after you!" cried the
fox.
"Rut you won't get me-" whistled
Uncle Wlggily. with that he picked
mp Crawly-Awly, the mud turtle boy,
who made himself just Ike a stone,
curling his head, legs and tail mp in
side the shell.
"Whizzi" Through the air went the
mud turtle boy as Uncle Wiggily threw
him. "Kcr-bunko!' he hit the fox on
his soft and tender nose, like a stone.
ooh. wow" cried the fox, ooh.
double WOW, / guess l made a mis-
take. ] don't want YOU today. Uncle
Wiggily. Oh, my noso' NY nose'' And
away he ran 20 dip his nose in Ice
water.
The rabbit gentleman very kindly
thanked the mud turtle hoy, who was
not hurt at all, but went on home with
his loaf Of bread. And Uncle Wiggily.
after mcnding his auto tires, went
home also. He had had an adventure,
you see.
And i'm the story after this. IL the

sault and spill itself into the sugar

Coal Smoke Now Captured and
fold.

Selling smoke is the very latest So
luton of the smoke problem iu cities.
Some practical railroad men are back
of the idea, and they have had enough
success so far 20 give hope that smoke
from some OF the worst offenders VIII
soon be captured for the pritlt that
is iu IL.
Their idea has been developed i'm a
railroad ~rOuudhOuse I'm ChiaCgO, where
locomotives are stabbed. The engines
awaiting their turn LO go out on runs
are kept fired up. and meantime they
pour out much smoke through many
roof openings Of the house. II was
decided 10 install some kind Of system
to reduce the smoke nuisance and
benefit the ucighhOrhoOd.
After some experiments an ap-
paratus was installed that led all this
engine smoke TO a big concrete tank
lined with wood and filled with water.
The smoke passed through the water
and reached the outside air fairly
clean, practically as clear gases.
Quantities Of scum accumulated on
the water due TO SCOT PARTICLES that
the water captured. The scum a
skinned off and dried. and as much
as five barrels a day Of dry SCOT was
thus collected.
This SCOT unquestionably has value,
the first effort being 20 sell II as a
substitute for lampblaCk. If II sue
Ceeds as ~lampblack the success of the
installation will be complete, but,
even II It does not have a satisfactory
sale foo that purpose, h issOnly a mat
ter Of time before some profitable
