In the last year 1O5.439 certificates
OF naturalizat ton were issued by the
immigration bureau. and there are
now some 800, 900 additional men who
have declared their intention of be-
coming citizens. This number is
steadily increasing. and the work of
the bureau is consequently becoming
heavier all the time. That congress
Will be asked to provide additional APP
preparations for handling this problem
is certain. The new policy of educa-
ton to be undertaken by the bureau
will, furthermore. have the effect OF
stimulating naturalization among
aliens in the states who have not yet
declared their intention of becoming
citizens.
The department believes that educa-
ton and distribution are the methods
which must be adopted to handle the
immigration problem. To make OF

While it is an evident fact that gen

been reflected on the coal industry
in the ClarkSburg region as 1t has on
other industries" was the statement
made recently by Daniel Howard, gen.

Mr.. Howard is one Of West Vir-

thoroughly familiar with mining con

MARS AND MARRIAGE.
Welded Life In the United States Army
and Navy.

Cupid doesn't let the fortune of the
Newport girl or the lack Of fortune OF
the Cheyenne girl interfere with his
arrangements when he gets his strateg.
ic dispositions planned and his forces
modified" writes Judson G. Welllver
in Munsey's Magazine. The subject
of the article is marriage in the Amer
lean army and navy, and he argues
that as a rule the officers of these serv-
ices marry young and happily:
BE it Bar Harbor or Long Beach.
Portland or Panama, east or west,
north or south, your young man in the
blue and gold is accOutered to take care
of himself socially. The uniform I'M
deniably helps. But it does more than
add a touch of color to the social land
scape whereon it disports. 1t is a
prima facie guarantee that a young
man with a well trained BRAIN a sound
body, disciplined mind, clean, whole
some and ambitious. is inside.
1.-THE uniform wouldn't be there if it
were not testimonial about that ia
BILE of contents. The drawing room
arts, the social refnements, the ball
room accomplishments are added unto
all this because they have been a part
of the atmosphere, the training, the
bringing up in those two splendid in
situations that prepare young men to
wear Uncle Sans livery.
1.-The navy men may not take their
wives with them to sea under any pos
sible pretext. If there is enough Of
family income to permit the wife may,
and not infrequently does, parallel the
voyagings of her husband. To the
Philippines the government permits
wives Of navy officers to travel on the
transports at cost of subsistence,
which is very modest.
"At each army post houses are pro
vided for the married officers, and Un-
Gle Sam also furnishes light and fuel.
In these respects the army officer has
the better of his brother in the navy.
On the other hand, he must pay for
household supplies and service of all
kinds, while the naval officer is a
member of his mess and gets the best
of living on shipboard at marvelously
cheap rates.
army and navy officers as a rule
marry young, and as a rule the mar
riages are happy. The reasons are OBJ
vious. At least the economic reasons
are. The others lie in that traditional
fascination which uniforms and gold
trappings have for the feminine heart"

Why It's "Horse" Chestnut.

A generally accepted reason why the
horse chestnut is so called is on &C
count of the resemblance to a horse
shoe that is to be found when the

In the south we may admire the bloom
OF this early towering tree, but in the
north, in certain parts of Yorkshire,
mothers pay more regard to the nut,
which, when grated, they hold to be
