MANY UNITS IN NAVY
Regular Strength Increased by
Reserve in War Time.
Large Number Of New Training Camps
Built by Uncle Sam to Take Care
OF Great Number of Recruits.

The various navy units now existing
in addition to those of the regular
navy are the naval reserve force, the
marine corps, the marine corps re.
serve, the naval militia and the coast
guard. The total enlisted strength Of
the navy is about 10000 men. The
number Of enlisted men in the navy
has more than doubled since war was
declared. In addition to this large
number, about $4,000 enlisted in the
naval reserve force and 10000 nation
al naval volunteers, which is the feder.
allied naval militia.
Besides the men for duty in the sea-
man branch the navy needs men for
service In special branches, such as
arti6cers, yeomen, electricians, the
commissary, hospital corps and SO on,
to be selected on basis Of previous
experience and Of special aptitude.
To provide for the many new re-
cruits, large number Of new training
camps are being built. Work on these
new training camps for naval recruits
and reserves is being rapidly rushed to
completion. Several large camps have
already been completed, including
camps for the marine corps, quarters
will be provided for more than $4,000
men, and the approximate cost will be
100000.
All members of the naval reserve
force, except the naval auxiliary re.
serve, must be citizens Of the United
States. Members of the naval aux
iliary reserve must be citizens Of the
United States or its insular posses
sions.
Members Of the naval reserve force
are not required to perform any &C
tive service in time Of peace, but they
may be assigned to duty at their own
request. However, they are obliged
to serve through war or national
emergency, and no members Of the
naval reserve force are eligible for
confirmation in rank or rating until
the completion Of not less than three
months active service.
The feet naval reserve is the reserve
composed entirely Of ex-service Off
GERS and men whose last service with
the navy terminated honorably. Off,
GERS and men are enrolled in the rank
or rating last held in the navy. Active
service pay in this branch Of the navy,
is in addition to the regular retainer
pay and is the full pay Of the corre'
spending rank in the navy Of the same
length Of naval service.

That is why the live advertisers
are cooperating with The Idaho Re-

issue the paper at certain hour

Lets see. When does that paper

HURRY THE SCHOOL PETITIONS.

Last call for those who have not already
signed the petition calling for an election
to create special tax district in Pensacola,
in order that high school may be built and
educational facilities improved generally,
for announcement is made that the petit
tons are to be collected shortly, in order
that they may be presented at the February
meeting of the county board of public in
struction, which will be held next week.
It being ascertained that the requisite
number of competent endorsements have
been secured, the county board of public
instruction will Immediately advertise an
election to be held probably between the
18th and Goth of March. This election will
establish the tax district To vote bond
issue, will require the circulation of another
set of petitions, which will take at least a
month, and the advertising of another cleo
ton thirty days after these petitions have
been presented. This will bring us right up
to June Should there be any unforeseen de-
lays, the matter might be thrown over an
other year, for unless the tax district has
been established, and unless the bond issue
has been authorized by an election prior to
the July meeting of the county commission
ers, budget and other provision cannot be
made for the objects in question that fiscal
year.
AS explained in this column some time
ago, the bond issue is planned in order to
provide finances at an annual tax of one
and half mills instead of three mills, as
would be Necessary if only the special dis
trict were established. Obviously, the pay
ments will extend over a longer period O
years, but this is proper, as the benefits O.
the school are as muck for the future as fol
the present.
Allowing the issue to be thrown over tc
another year is unthinkable The people
have shown they want the special tax dis
trict, and from now on, the efforts of every
one interested must be directed toward,
speeding up the movement

IMMIGRATION BILL VETOED

President Wilson, as was to be expected,
vetoed the immigration bill because of the
literacy test. This makes his second time,
for that, old question has been coming back
time after time, like bad penny, and dis
turbing the rest of the nations law makers
bill with the literacy test was vetoed by
Taft and Cleveland it would have been
vetoed by Washington, and let us hope it
will be thrown into the veto-baslet every
time it is placed upon the presidential desk
AS the bill passed the house by 308 to 81,
and the senate by 81 to 7, possibilities of
passing the law over the presidents veto
suggest themselves. Undoubtedly the at
tempt will be made, but it is more than
doubtful that congress will take such dras-
tic action.
AS President Wilson says, the literacy
test is not a test of character but of oppor-
tunity. With such school facilities 5 the
United States affords, lately reinforced by
the immigrant night schools, the mere edu-
cation does not offer serious problem So
much for the national phase of the question.
internationally, the test might provoke I'M
fortunate complications. Commercially, it
would result in labor shortage i'll the
United States, thereby curtailing the coun-
trys development

In the preceding lesson in house
furnishing, attention was given the
walls, floors, etc. In this lesson 9th
er parts of the house are the sub
jects.
The Hall-The first impression one
receives on entering the home is
made by the appearance of the hall.
It should not be overloaded with IN
necessary furnishings, but at the
same time it should contain the nee
essary articles for convenience and
it should create an atmosphere of
cheer.
The walls are usually better IN rich,
warm tints. Pictures are not neces-
sary in the hall. This is not the place
for family portraits or photographs;
when pictures are used, choose copies
of famous buildings.
Living Room-The home should not
only establish moral standards, but
those of aesthetic quality as well and
the living room, which is the center
Of the home, should be given the most
careful consideration.
This is a year-round room and the
color, furnishings and pictures should
be such as will have a Peaceful, rest
| full influence on all members Of the
family and be of common interest and
not suited merely to individual taste
Dining Room-In many families the
only opportunity for all of the mem
bers of the family to come together
is at meal time. Consequently tbs
dining room should be cheerful anC
sunny place and not depressed OF
| gloomy. There should be no unneces.
sary pieces of furniture, and wal
tones should harmonic with adjoin
ing rooms.
Dining room furniture is more ap
to be massive and heavy than thu
| pieces for the other rooms. Great car
should be taken in choosing that TIL
pieces are not too heavy for the siz,
of the room.

gard to color, pictures, ETC., providing
these personal likes are well regu-
lated and in keeping with the necessi-
ties of the room.
If the bedroom is used for a sitting
as well as a sleeping room the furni-
ture may be darker and heavier in
character. A bedroom is always more
CHEEKY with pretty lowered chintz
over curtains and chair cushions. A
great mistake is often made by an
indulgence of lowered material.
Kitchen-It was a long time after
many labor and time-saving devices
had been invented for mans work be-
fore tightening women's duties was
ever thought Of. Now that woman's
time is valued as highly as mans an
effort to better her working condi-
tions is being made.
The old kitchen, usually one of the
largest rooms in the house, was the
center of interest and served as a
place for not only culinary processes,
but washing and ironing and churn-
ing and often dining room.
But in the modern house separate
places for these various classes of
work are provided, and the use of the
kitchen is limited usually to the prep
aration and dispensing Of food. II
| should not only be convenient in re
gard to its relation of other rooms
but also in detailed arrangement OF
it's furnishings.
The walls of the kitchen may be
neutral tone and still not a gloomy
drab or gray. They are best painted
or calcimined.
The ideal kitchen floor is yet to be
discovered. Inlaid tile and cement are
sanitary, but very tiresome to stand
upon for any length of time. Maple
! or hard pine are satisfactory woods
and should be treated in hot linseeC
oil and rubbed down, but not var.
i nished.
The linoleum covered floor il
about the most satisfactory at pres
ent- 1t may be given thin coat Of
varnish for protection from hare
wear.

WHAT Ais MEXICO?

Because of the loss in revenue, the con-
st1tutlonal amendment to prohibit the man
ufacttlre of pulque, bull fighting and cock
lighting in Mexico, has failed
Bull fighting, as it is incorrectly trans
lated, is one of the most remarkable sports
there is-with one disagreeable feature
requiring high degree of courage, skill
and intuition. It is an art It is admired
alike by Mexicans and Americans who UNI
derstand it, and both classes deplore this
one disagreeable feature Americans in this
country who are so quick to express an
opinion on matter about which they know
absolutely nothing, would be less hast9 in
denouncing the corridas de toros, if they
but knew the adherence with which Mex
leans regard our prize fights And cock
fights are too common in the United States
to warrant a denunciation of Mexico on
that count
But the case against pulque is strong
one. Pulque, the juice of the naguey plant,
is not only potent intoxicant, it is men
tally facilitating as we'll, like absinthe.
The ridiculously cheap price at which it is
sold causes a tremendous per capita con-
sumption, and it is brutalizing the entire
people, rendering them. incapable of prog
ress and education, and is one of the rea-
sons why the country boasts a seventy per
cent illiteracy.
1t is not so much the loss of the national
revenue that has prevented the constitu-
tional ban on the drink, for the 81 100000
involved could be raised by increasing some
import tax, as the fact that the pulque plan
tations are the monopoly of few rich
men. Nothing shows more plainly, there
| fore, Carranza's cynical contempt for the
peoples welfare, despite his proclamations
! pledges, and chest-thumpings and what is
said of Carranza is said of the rest of the So
called liberators.
Russia very soon found she could not
fight the war as long as she was drink
ridden. Other nations have found the same
thing. When pulque is thrown out, the day
of democracy will have dawned in Mexico
and the people will be able to recover from
their delirium tremens and build constitu
tional government that squares with justice
and plumbs with political equality
1t is not bull fighting and cock fighting
that are keeping Mexico back, it is pulqut
that is Supplying her.
