 Haven system. The word did not come up to the hour of quitting for the day, so if there is to be a strike it's going to be a day late. Boston despatches Monday predicted it would come at noon of that day. All but one or two of the local clerks are mem bers of the union and they will go out if a strike is ordered. Should the strike be declared about 1,800 clerks will be affected.
 Luncheon at Country Club Enjoyed. Members of the Putnam Country club of the male persuasion and their guests were glowingly complimentary Monday to the ladies for the delightful luncheon given at the club Saturday afternoon and for all the other fine entertainment with which the affair was surrounded. About 100 were present, with visitors from out of town. The ladies intend to give a series of such affairs during the summer months. The county club is already a prime favorite as a place for health ful recreation with members, con- stantly increasing in number, and seems to fill a long felt want.

 There are some who have expressed their willingness to subscribe money for such a purpose, but the number of pledges and the amount of them does not seem sufficient to warrant the launching of the undertaking g without greater suppoTt. Some have l maintaining public playgrounds should be met by the city but no action to secure an appropriation has been talk en.
 In the meantime the pupils have been released from their studies for the summer and are pursuing their va rious methods of having a good time on any old playground that presents itself whether in the traffic crowded streets or the renoteness of some back pasture.

MOOSE EARNED TROPHY
Claim Bridgeport Was Awarded Gun
 Due Local Lodge.

Putnam lodge of Moose has enter ed a protest because a prize to be awarded at Hartford last Saturday to the lodge coming the longest dis tance to take part in the state pa rade in that city was awarded by the judges to the Bridgeport lodge in stead of to the local organization. The prize was silver cup. Bridgeport's organization travelled 53 miles to get to Hartford, while the Putnam mem bers had 57 miles torn off their mile age books in getting to the capital city.
 The Putnam lodge made a fine show ing. It is not that the prize is so valuable, but having qualified on the long distance proposition with premier honors the local men feel that they should have what they are entitled to; hence the protest.

ORIGINAL IDEA OF MERIT

ton by bringing to the last linen
shower a most novel gift-and 1t was
not linen. II was intended. however
for the lingerie chest and was the
most novel and prettiest of sachets.
Apparently. when the eager brfde-to-

depth a large creamy satin rose.
When she lifted 1t for further exam

discovered to be nothing more than
q number of petal-like bags Of sachet
attached to q central calyx disk oy

pins. The petals shaded from light
cream at the outer edge to deep pink
in the center. The only original girl
admitted to having used . real rose"
as her model. and shaping the petal
sachets accordingly. A clever little
verse told the delighted recipient that
one petal at time might be removed
and attached to any piece Of lingerie
she desired. The sachet used was .

Washington.-Much has been said
and written since the European war
began as to military preparedness
of the United States. Organizations
whose purpose Is to encourage prepar-
edness and to urge more liberal appro-
priations for the army and navy have
been organized in all parts OF the
country. The army and the navy have
been thoroughly studied in recent
months. and the president Is now busy
with their problems; but what of the
great civilian army, then. of military
age between eighteen and forty-four
years. of whom according to the re-
ports of state adjutant generals on file
in Washington. there are nearly IT,
100000. OF this total, as great almost
as the total of all the armies now
fighting in Europe, only sixty-one hun
dredths Of one per cent are in tho
militia of the various states, which
means that more than 16,800.000 are
men practically without military train
ing.
To get an idea of the situation. q
New York Times representative was
permitted q few days ago to read
some of the government reports on
the condition Of the militia. The re-
suit was startling. II more than q
score of states there is no field ar
tillery of any sort, and in the whole
country there are fewer than 40 OH
GERS of ordnance. In IS states there
are no organizations trained for coast
artillery. "a have no cavalry. a large
majority are without signal troops,
while the total force of organized en-
gineers, officers and men, totals less
than 1900 for the entire country. One
state. Nevada. is without militia organ
ization of any kind.
In the table that follows, WHICH
gives the number of officers and en-.
listed men of all arms in the National
Guard. the figures are from regu-
lar army inspectors, and appear in

sion of militia affairs.

WOOLLEY, MONEY MAKER

Being a Kentuckian, born in the
blue grass, and later a resident Of Vir
ginia, mere money-making never in
terested Robert Wickliffe Woolley
overmuch. But now, in his mature
life he has become one OF the fore
most money-makers of the world.
He is director of the mint OF the
United States, in charge OF making
the metal money Of the country, and,
also. the metal money Of various 9TH
er countries. So, while he counts his
makings in terms of millions. they are
not for him. He is no money grubber.
Literature and horses really are
the things to which he always has
been most devoted, and they are d.
rectly responsible for his becoming
a money-maker of first importance
in the world. Here Is the chain OF
connecting circumstances that brought
him to his present occupation: He
SO loved horses that he could not re-
frain from writing about them; so
well did he write about them that
