Horrors! Swedes
Are Taking But 3
Baths a Year!

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 23.-Male
patrons OF lighthouses in Sweden
outnumber the women almost
two to one, according to a report
just issued. Sweden has long
prided itself on the great number
of public lighthouses it possesses.
They are, indeed, almost a ma
tional Institution.
Statistics for the last year
show that the habit OF taking
Finnish, Turkish, steam, massage,
and plain tub baths, all OF which
are to be had in these institutions,
has decreased to such an extent
that the practice is confined to a
comparatively small circle.
The total figure shows only
31-5 OF such baths for each in
habitant in the year.

Substations of the United States
navy received notices this morning
from the Bureau of Navigation that
beginning July 16 all first enlist
ments will be limited to 28 per week
excepting machinists' mates and
iandsmen for quartermaster and
machinists mate aviation.
The direct result on the Fargo
substation will be the rejection of a
large number Of applicants. There
are seven substations in this district.
From these stations, according to
the Interpretation of the orders at
the Fargo Office, a total of only 20
will be taken at the Minneapolis sta
ton. .-.
Fargo, alone, has been receiving
from two to three enlistments a day.
or total of about IL a week. Other
substations have not been doing as
we'll, yet the number sent from the
seven offices in the district exceeds
by far the number of %.
Each morning the Fargo navy re-
cruiting Office is filled with young
men taking the first examinations
for entrance into this branch of the
military service. About rs per cent
of the applicants are rejected. APP
plicants must be 64 inches in height
of good physique, and weigh not less
than 12S pounds.
According to orders received at the
United States army recruiting sta
ton today the minimum height and
weight requirements of applicants
for enlistments in the army have
been changed to 81 inches and 11O
pounds, respectively. The change
was made by order of the secretary
of war.
In the number of navy recruits

bined into one recruiting district

States. In order to obtain that
standing very hard work has been
accomplished by the st. Paul, Du-
