Patriotic Women
Discouraged By
Paull's Remarks
Suggestion That Women Scrub Floors
Resented by Mother of Boy
In Company G.

Captain w. F. PAUL, Seattle ma
tional guard recruiting officer, dashed
cold water on plans for holding a
monster card party in the Pythian
hall next week to raise funds for
Company G when he criticized the
women for playing cards after he ac-
cepted $40 of the money raised by the
same methods in the Hotel Lafayette
Tuesday afternoon.
Captain Paulls speech came at the
end of the games in the Lafayette in
which 200 patriotic women took part.
His remarks were resented by sew
eral of the women who were too as
tonished at the speech to reply at the
time.
Mrs. L. G. Humbargar. president of
the ladies' auxiliary, said the ladies
had worked hard to make the party
a success and she considered Captain
Paull's remarks ill-advised. She an
nounced the postponement of the party
in the Pythian hall until Tuesday even
ing, April II.

Second Naval Battalion Elk.
poets to Be Ordered to
Bremerton Hourly
ANXIOUS MOTHERS CALL
Unless Plans For Farewell
Honor Are Made Soon
Opportunity Lost

Unless plans for giving the men of
the Naval Battalion a royal send-off
are made within the next few hours,
Aberdeen may lose the chance to
honor her most important contribu-
ton to the defense of the nation. The
Second Naval Battalion expects or
ders to move to Bremerton any hour
and may leave here tonight or tomor-
row morning.
The minimum war strength of the
battalion is IA enlisted men and 13
officers but with recruiting brisk dur
ing the week, 1913 men had signed last
night. There was an average of five
men signed each day since Monday
and it is expected by Ensign Steiglitz
that at least 80 men will sign within
an hour after it becomes definitely
known that the battalion is going to
move.
Equipment for more than the mini
mum war strength will be issued to
the recruits in Seattle. There is no
limit to the number which may be
taken in by the Second Battalion.
In the Eighth Division, of Hoquam,
so men were enlisted last night More
may have joined since that time. Five
enlisted men are assigned to battalion
headquarters.
Several men, with slight physical
defects, who are passed by the examin-
ing physicians here may be treated
in the marine hospital to correct their
conditions.
The men who were called out Mon
day and those who enlisted this week
will draw regular navy pay for the
time they spend here. although they
will not become part of the regular
navy until they are ordered to mobil-
ize at Bremerton.
Worried mothers have been calling
the battalion headquarters by tele-
phone to learn if their sons have en-
listed in this popular branch of the
service. Anxious fathers too have
been inquiring for information of the
officers.
| 1t is not thought that much time
will be given between the orders to
move and the time of moving and if
this city is to let the sailors know
that it is behind them, something
should be done at once to formulate
| plans for the farewell.

Pump Air Into Whales.
Four varieties are found principally
the sperm, sulphur bottom, fin-back
and hump-back. The whalers ply up
and down the coast and sometimes 20
as much as 100 miles out to sea. The
whales are killed by harpoon, fired
from gun at the bow of the steamer,
and carrying long line, attached to
the boat. When killed, the whales are
inflated from compressed air tanks, so
they will float high. They are lashed
by the tail at the bow of the boat.
Frequently vessel will bring in three
whales iashed to each side at a single
trip.
When brought to the station the
whales are left in the water at the foot
of the plants slip, similar to the meth
cd of leaving logs in the boom in the
mill pond. When the plant is ready
to handle them they are taken up the
slip into the plant and cut up with
axes and long knives. The blubber is
stripped off and cut into chunks,
eight or ten inches square These
pieces of blubber are run through a
slicer and then put into tank and
boiled down into OIL The whale bone
is ground into what is known as bone
meal, and the residue of the whale
is baked into fertilizer. The manu-
factured products are shipped to all
parts of the country.
