DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM
Of NAVY WORKS WELL

Changes in the disciplinary system OF
the navy during the past year have had
a good effect and are heartily approved
by the great majority of commanding
officers afioat Or ashore, according to
the annual report of Capt. Ridley Nc
Lean, judge advocate general of the
navy. The report deals at length with
the probationary system inaugurated
during the year under which men SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for breaking
regulations, but where there was
ground for extending clemency, were
continued in service at reduced pay,
while those whose offenses were seri-
Gus were summarily discharged instead
of being imprisoned. The net result, it
is shown. has been great decrease in
minor infractions of rules and saving
in prison maintaining expenses which
probably totals half a million dollars
for the year.
The general order under which the
scheme was established is known as
No. 10 and substitutes forfeiture of
pay and discharge from the service for
prisonment. Both punishments may be
made conditional. however, on the sub
sequent good conduct Of the offender.
A sailor who earns an honorable dis
full amount of pay which was with
held an ordinary discharge carries
with it payment Of the sequestered pay
and dishonorable discharge means
absolute forfeiture
Results of the System.
The system has resulted since it's in
auguration in the summary discharge
of 1,27S more chronic offenders than

Offenders under detention have been
reduced from 1885 to TAO The Boston

express their opinions on the operation
Of the scheme. OF the 100 replies re-
ceived. only four disapproved the plan,

report states.
From the foregoing" the report
says, ''it would appear that both from
a humanitarian and from a disciplinary
viewpoint the system has been a dis
tinct success"
Capt. Mclean says he has traced the
subsequent history, of men punished
under the previous detention system
and under the probationary plan. in

80 ia per cent of detained prisoners

Express Lines Favored.
Mr.. Dumont believes that an attempt
to establish aerial express lines would
be welco.-ed in South and Central
America, and will speak along that line
in his address of Monday. Mr.. Du-
mont, who is also an inventor and
pioneer in automobiling. was born at
Sac Paolo. Brazil. July 20, 1873 His
founder of the largest coffee planta-
tions in Brazil, afforded his son the
widest opportunity for the develop
ment of his genius. In aeronautics
pended $4,000 a year in experimental
ton, and a patron of cycling and
automobiling, from the beginning Of
their early development to the present
time, he has devoted over one million
dollars to their investigation.
While a mere youth Santos Dumont
first dreamed of navigating the air, made
his first paper balloons and toy hell
copters. then he conceived the dirigible.
Before the age of ten he had famil-
iariZed himself with the principle of
mechanics, locomobiles used for trans
portation and the machinery used to
prepare coffee. likewise the machinery
of the steamboats, that carried the
products to and from the plantation.
His Flights in Paris.
In 1898. when he visited Paris, diri-
gibles were hardly known, but in 1900.
when he returned with nine airships. he
won the 100, 900 francs offered by Henry
Deutsch de la Meurthe, the French
sportsman, having flown from the Park
d. d'Aerostation at st. Cloud to and around
the Einel tower in less than. half an
hour This prize was turned over to
the poor of Paris.
MIR Dumont is now devoting his time
to populariZing aviation, to bringing
about the adoption of aircraft as ve-
hicles for transportation. In 1913 he
was honored with the Legion d'Hon-
neur and the French people built
monument to him.

We would like very much to give
local ball fans some dope about the

be done. Principally because Charles
COmiSkey refuses absolutely to, dis
cuss any city series until the worlds
series possibilities are dead and bur-
led in the hands of the Bostin Red
Sox. Comiskey's silence is the best
indication that the Old Roman still

Now for the IF column dope. If
the White Sox take four contests
from Cleveland and IF the Yankees
take two, of their four games with
Boston and the PhiIies grab two out
of the three games with Boston, then
the White SOx and Red Sox will be
tied. The race in that event would
end as follows:

Editor the MisSOurian: | noticed in
your columns little talk about men
who adopt a soft low-necked collar
for comfort in summer
Are we not living in an age when
common sense is taking the place of
traditional custom? Why then should
a man feel himself constrained to be
imprisoned in stiff linen collar when
the thermometer is registering 80 in
the shade, merely because starched
custom says do it? Certainly we have
not arrived at that condition of affairs
when men must suffer discomfort from
particular forms of dress because
they are the usual forms.
Yesterday we wore about three col
lars each and put them in perfect con-
dition for the laundry. And. most
potent fact of all. we were not COM
Portable i'm the true sense of the word
at any minute of the day
The idea appears rather ridiculous
that "a man appears effeminate in
lOw-necked shirt" However. if this
be so, then shall we not consider that
women are strikingly mannish when
they wear high linen collars? Surely
they are inclined toward masculinity.
Shucks, There is as much logic in
one view as the other.
Please let us stick to the law of
common sense. If you like a snort
shirt, wear it. Do some independent
thinking-F. l.. G..

FARMS AND FARMERS

Too often has the average American
farmer thought because he is a far
mer and lives seemingly away from
the general public that he should mot
keep up the general I. earance of his
farm and surroundings. 1t is just
as essential that the farm home
should be made home-like and a
pleasant place to live as the mansion
in the city. The farmers family will
be better satisfied on the farm if it is
made inviting.
Another mistake often made by the
farmer is his persistency in trying to
keep all of his children, both girls and
boys. on the farm. This cannot be
done if we maintain the highest type
of rural civilization Failure in any
business vocation other than that TO
which they are adapted usually comes.
If your son shows or expresses the
desire to be something other than a
farmer. encourage, rather that dis
courage. him in that line of work
The same should be true with the
girls. Give them the proper encour-
agement in the life's work they wish
to take up and their chance for sue
cess is almost assured. The children
who are naturally adapted to the farm
life will stay of their own accord and
will make good citizens for the
community as well as being success
full scientific farmers.

The Open Column
A Word About Charity.

Editor the Missourian: There has
been too much emphasis laid upon
charity in this nation during the last
two years. especially relative to the
European war and more lately to the
Mexican situation. Are philanthropy
ic organizations the proper institu-
tions for the serving of their nations
If nations can afford TO spend hun
dreds of millions of dollars for war,
surely they can afford the few hun
dreds of thousands required for hos
pital service and for aid to the power
ty-stricken families at home. What
this world needs in this present per-
iod are not dozens of organizations
continually begging and appealing to
the public for funds to help distress
ed peoples. but it needs a public-spir-
tied press. which will demand that
nations make adequate provision for
taking care of wounded soldiers and
for persons remaining at home.
The well-founded criticism of the
press, for instance. brought about a
change in the policy of England re-
lative to munition. There have been
no statements lately in the press about
munition scandal in that nation. With
out. doubt. sound criticism would eX-
pose the charity situation. too.
The citizens of the United States
are not under any moral obligations
to contribute funds for foreign SOL
diers. neither for those of our own
nation If the United States requires
the services of poor married men. it
should make adequate provision for
the maintenance q their families.
Canada has put plan into egect
whereby married man in the army
receives So a month for his family
and s13 a month for personal eX
penses.
We Americans must insist that this
continual appeal for money from these
organizations cease. Let the nations
do their duties. The nations will
have to do their duties toward their
wounded men. if we only insist.-K. V.
