MEANING OF INSIGNIA WORN ON
UNIFORMS OF OFFICERS AND MEN

The war department authorizes the
following:
The war department is receiving
many inquiries from a pardonably Gu
rious public as to the meaning of the
various insignia worn on the uniforms
of the officers and enlisted men of the
army.
The spectacle of so many soldiers in
uniform is new one, and most inter-
est attaches to the little strips of par
ti-colored ribbon worn on their left
breasts.
These little strips, each of a pre-
scribed length of 1 as inches, are army
service ribbons, each ribbon having its
own particular significance. The
strips are symbols standing for medals
and campaign badges which the bearer
is entitled to wear.
There are ten of these honors rec
ognized by the army. Two are medals
of honor, one a certificate of merit,
and the others badges of historic cam
paigns.
Obviously it would be impractical
for the possessor to wear his medals
and so wears the little ribbon symbol
instead.
Meaning of the Ribbons.
The ribbons are as follows:
Congressional medal of honor
white stars on a field of light blue
silk. This medal is awarded only by
congress for some particular deed of
gallantry in action. 1t is the most
coveted of all army honors.
Certificate of merit badge-two red,
white, and blue bands separated by a
thin band of white, the blue being out
ermost in each instance. This honor
is conferred by the president.
Philippines congressional medal -
blue band in center fanked by stripes
of white, red, white and blue, the blue
on the outermost edges of the ribbon.
This ribbon is worn by those men who
stayed in the service after the conclu-
sion of the Spanish American war to
put down the Philippine insurrection.
Civil war - campaign ribbon of
Indian wars-bright red, with mar
row edges of deeper red.
Spanish Campaign Insignia.
Spanish campaign - Alternating
stripes Of yellow and blue. This is
the most familiar of all campaign rib
bons.
Philippine campaign-blue band in
center, f1anked by narrower bands of
red, blue edges.
Cuban occupation (time of Spanish
war and several years thereafter)-
blue in center, flanked by narrow yell
low stripes, then broader red stripes,
and finally blue borders.
Cuban pacification Indicating serv-
ice in Cuba during the period 1906
1909, when the United States straight
ened out governmental affairs for the
new republic) )-broad olive drab CEN
ter, fianked by three narrow stripes
of red, white, and blue, the red on
the outermost edges.

turn no way but their infamy becomes
more exposed. 1t is of great import
ance to set a resolution, not to be
shaken, never to tell an untruth.
There is no vice so mean, SO pitiful
so contemptible; and he who per-
mits himself to tell lie once, finds
it much easier to do it a second and a
third time, until at length it becomes
habitual; he tells lies without attend
ing to it, and truths without the
worlds believing him. This falsehood
heart, and in time depraves all its
good dispositions.

Why is it that one woman does not
trust another?
If you did, there would not be an
employer or politician in all this land
who would dare say that ten dollars
a week is enough for you.
Nor would millionaire Mr.. Hunting
ton, who owns all the streetcars and
all the streets of Los Angeles, con-
template employing women as conduc-
tors because they are cheaper than
men.
If you are cheap-if your wages are
menace to decency and to health
it is because you refuse to stand to-
gether.
Men are foolish creatures. All wom-
en- know this. Yet men have suffi-
cient sense to comprehend that unity
is the law of Nature-of life itself.
The women-that is, many women
of California could not rest until they
got the ballot. What have they done
with it? Have they elected one wom-
laws enacted in behalf of women?
On the contrary, they helped defeat
woman member of the Los Angeles
city council.
Eventually, it is to be hoped, women
will place at least as much faith in
each other as they place in men, When
they do, the world will be a better
place in which to live. Mans bru-
tality will be minimized. The child
will be taken from the workshop, and
the aged will be crowned with COM
fort.
Bad as man is, he is self-reliant.
Possessing this, woman would have
every virtue.-Los Angeles Citizen.

A NEW COAL MINING RECORD.

Shipments of anthracite coal from
eastern Pennsylvania for June have

 The goal of desirable and efficient corrupt practices act should be the elimination of the corrupt of money either the election the defeat of individual candidates but certainly should not be the curtamnt of the discussion of ideas either by individuals organizations desirous of their views to the strength weakness of pending ssues

The cold and critical eye of the post office department is going to look into 'the business of the Arizona Eastern Publicity. company of Pittsburg, so called concern, which has made prop. osition to Arizona people so apparently doubtful in character that it has has aroused the suspicious of the Ari zona state corporation commission.
 The. Pittsburg concern with the Ari- zona tag to it's name has mailed to Arizona people 1000 letters in which the statement is made that the com pany proposes to issue magazine to be devoted to boosting the state of Arizona, and that if the recipient of the letter will inclose a perfectly good dol lar bill in an envelope and remit it to their address they will give each Ari- zonan dollars worth of stock in their concern and a subscription to the mag azine which is to be devoted, as before said, to boosting Arizona.
 All of which may be perfectly all right, but the corporation commission, to which body one Of these letters was brought, thought it best to turn it over to the ppstoffice authorities for inves- tigation.

GREAT TOBACCO COMP ANY GIVES

Large tobacco companies realize omei mes that there is something else to be done in this world than n'enare tobacco for the market 1 The John Bollman company branch | OI LiSgctt t Myels. believe that
 there is something still more i'm portant than making tobacco and tha, just now is making War. Ii is, ac- cordingly, helping notwithstanding the army tax bill threatens the tobacco industry. The following letter from
 a member of the company tells what the company IS doing for the gov ernment:
 it is with considerable pride that II wish to advise you of what this company is doing in fulfillment of it's
 patriotic duty otheg than what will be compulsory. This company has just subscribed to s100,00O worth of
 Liberty Loan bonds through the Anglo &. London Paris National bank of San Francisco. and has made an offer to all of it's employees, men and women, to carry for them any amount of these bonds that the employe feels
 he or she can pay for in one hundred l weeks. They will carry the bonds for employees at 31s per cent (the
 interest rate of the bonds themselves). Payments are arranged so that 50
 cents per week will purchase a $50
 bond in less than two years. The company feels assured that his action. taken not only to assist the government in the sale of bonds; but to make it possible for a large
 rumoer of it's employees to purchase bonds under more favorable terms than the government, can offer. will result in tens of thousands Of dol lars being subscribed by employees of this company.
 Furthermore, the company has notified it's employees that it will ar range to take care of the families or dependents of those enisting in the army or navy during the period of such service. by way of paying all or part of their present salaries as
 may seem equitable-all circum stances considered-and in any event, 1 them at the expiration of their ser vice, at salaries not less than they now receive.
 We have previously advised you that this company has insured the i lives of all of its employees absolute ly free of charge-such insurance to expire with the termination of em- ployment. On this point. the com pany has notified it's employees that termination Of employment by enlist
 ment in the army or navy will not cancel the insurance policy. but in- stead. that the full amount of in surance will be carried for each em- pioye durino his term of army or
