Is no less true. The average bluejacket,

the recruit who has Just Joined the SER

something more than $500 year. While
this may sound smaller, as a matter OF
fact it really is larger. because, in adj
dition to his pay, the navy man gets
his board and lodging and medical at
tention free. It may also come as an
other surprise to know that it is now
almost as difficult to enlist in the navy
as II is to get on the police force or a
position in the pOstOffice. There is
machine shop with lathes. there is a
fully equipped blacksmith shop, a COM

LOWER LUMBER
RATE IS ASKED
Las Cruces Urges Cut; Al
buquerque Beer Rate is
Lower Than Ell Paso's.

With the conclusion Of oral argu-
ments in the Bascom- French Lumber
company case against the Santa Fe
affecting rates on lumber from Texas
and Louisiana points to Las Cruces, the
hearing before ". n. McGehee, special
examiner for the interstate commerce
commission, came to an end Friday
morning.
The Bascom-French Lumber COM
pany case has been before the inter-
state commerce commission since 1910,
and the rehearing just closed was
asked by the railroad. In this case
the railroad company seeks to have
the former rate Of 81 cents per 100
pounds restored.
A hearing in the case Of the James
Crawford Lumber company against the
Texas & Pacific for refund Of about
$500 alleged Overcharge was heard.
Beer Rate.
The case OF Bert Ramsey a. Co., and
other wholesale dealers in beer, against
the Santa Fe and other lines affecting
rates on beer shipped from st. Louis
and Milwaukee to points in New Mex
leo and FL Paso was also heard. The
complainants seek the restoration Of
the former rates Of So cents from st.
Louis and 65 cents from Milwaukee.
These rates were raised IS cents last
November.
During the hearing Of this case it
was shown that Albuquerque whole
salers can ship to RincOn, a distance
of 176 miles, as cheaply as can Ell
Paso, located but IS miles from Rincon.
The parties concerned were given so
days in which to file briefs.

The Spring Bonnet a MOurrfuI Reminder To Man
Most Deadly Form Known As Advanced Pattern

The spring bonnet usually comes
with nothing on but its shape. which
is seized by the deft, S4-an-hour fin
gers of the milliner and put through a
process called trimming People who
have watched this process worked out
say that il is hard to tell which has
been trimmed the most effectively. the
hat or the husband. but the result is a
creation which causes envy to spring
up in church and social circles II also
causes every maid servant in town to
secure one just like it. thereby max
ing it necessary to consult another
trimmer.
The 1916 spring bonnet will have
regular equipment, there being no ac-
cessories to buy except the shape, trim
ming materials, labor and overhead
charges. The toque with a spear of
timothy hay protruding from the crown
will be worn a great deal for three
weeks, when the summer STYLES will
come in. 1t is sad TO think of the mil
lions Of cast-Off tOques that cost S23.15
each, lying around in American attics
without so much as the protection Of
a moth ball The question has often
been asked: Why is IL that woman will
serve a pork roast four days hand run
ming and yet refuse to wear a spring
toque fifteen minutes past the LIST Of
June?
The spring bonnet would be appre-
ciated more by husbands IL Ii was con-
structed Of Portland cement.
