A bill carrying an appropriation OF

upon with high favor, while a bill
making it possible for the widows OF
old soldiers to find a comfortable

down. The monument would be a

School teachers looking for jobs in
New Mexico face a perplexing propo-
sition Some cities make practice
of holding out salaries as penalty
for marriage during the school term.
Others offer liberal bonuses for teach
ers who remain single. Manageable
girls are in greater demand than
teachers and the teacher who prefers
the bonus to the man challenges the
risk Of being kidnapped.

in expression and more dignity that
he had written the resolutions in
plain Anglo-Saxon that there may be
none OF the misunderstanding that
might come through fine phrasing
and that the English he used best
expresses the sentiment of the COM
mittee.
Although asked to make several
changes, Senator Frailey refused to
consent to but one. And that was
the only one made. He agreed TO
the elimination of the words that the
treatment accorded the soldiers Of
the national guard by the officers OF
the regular army on the border was
enough to bring the blush Of shame
to the cheek of the pawnbroker."
The resolutions declare In their
statement OF facts that the order Of
the Judge advocate general is entire
~ illegal. The clothing which the
guardsmen are now asked to pay for
and which would cost each man on
the average $14.35 or twenty days
pay, is the clothing they had when
called from their homes. The army
regulations provided that they should
not be charged Tor such .clpthing, n

United States Army Inaugurates
New Service.

Word has just been received today
of perhaps the newest and most IN
,teresting branch of the army. This
new branch of the service is for the
purpose of making observations from
captive balloons The most exciting
moments are when these captive bal
looms are picked as targets by the enc
my aeroplanes, at which time the OBJ
servers, who always have parachutes
firmly attached to their persons, jump
out of the balloon basket, even though
they are 5000 or 1000 feet from the
ground, and float down to safety
while the friendly airships immedi-
ately arrive and attempt to drive off
the attackers from the unoccupied bal
loon.

admission in the Officers Training
Camps, for one reason or another. this
is your opportunity The government
wants men of the calibre of officers
for the United States army rank, and
