Nor is the modern officer better of
than his progenltor in the matter of
living alone. He works under better
conditions. Steam has reduced the
length Of voyages so that he is no
longer months at sea without a port
to break the monotony.
There Is no longer the element OF
chance, due to the caprice Of wind
and wave to make the duration Of his
voyage uncertain. Modern steamers
run almost on railroad schedules, and
the mariner Of today can tell within
day or two when he leaves Liverpool
as to the hour Of his release on leave
for a trip to 'see the folks at New
York or Boston or Philadelphia.
Furthermore, there is none Of the
hard, manwearing work Of driving q
ship by the winds alone, and handling
rigging and sails, that existed on the
romantic but unstable smiling ship.
Nowadays so many revolutions Of the
screw produce so many miles made
good on the course, while navigation
under these conditions becomes a mat

General Winn's letter to Governor
capper follows:
"You will be glad to know that the
Tighty-ninth division continued its ac-
live and successful part in the opera

very reason to be proud of the
achievements of the division and OF
he magnificent way in which the men
iave responded to every call. A finer

On this basis Whitman countys
quota will be $1,055, 900, and Pull

not official. Nearly all the counties

Is to BE Completed

The Pullman Red Cross has re-

gical dressings. The quota which
must be completed by April 20, the
end of the Red Cross working month,
consists of 1900 dressings. This Is
q rather large quota and it will be
necessary to have the help of all the
women of Pullman to complete it on
time. In order that all may find
time to work, the gauze rooms down
town and at the college will be open
every afternoon and evening.

$2085 to the local branch, the re-

the month of March, had bank bal
ance of $1,000, the largest for many
months. The largest single amount
received from benefits during the
month was 1920, the receipts from
the knights of Pythias "Forty-nine'
show. Great inroads will be made
in the bank account this month
through the purchase Of materials
for the vast quantities of gauze pads
to be m ade by the Pullman ladies for
