TALLAHASSEE

ITALIA ahassee. Oct. 11-(SpeciaD-In-
terest in Tallahassee centers around
the Shrine ceremonial which is to be
held here on October IS, and which
promises to be one Of the largest events
OF the present social season. Indications

Shriners and their friends from Florida
and Georgia, and IL is expected that
the occasion will be one of greatest
pleasure to all who are fortunate
enough to be present.
Tallahassee Boy Recommended for
Rhodes Scholarship.
News has been received in this city
that Mr. Thos. Myers Palmer, together
with Mr.. Rex Farrior, Of Tampa, has
been chosen by the faculty Of the Uni
versity of Florida to represent that
college in the conferences to be held

two Florida young men who viii receive
Rhodes scholarships.
Mr., Palmer is the second son of DR..
Henry e. Palmer, Of this city. and ID
a 1919 graduate of the University of
FLORIDA. At the outbreak of the war
Mr.. Palmer entered the service in tho
students. army training corps. was
mace a first Lieutenant and was~sent
to the University Of Pittsburg as an
instructor in militay tactics, where he
made a most envable record. In the
absence of a captain of the company
to which Lieutenant Palmer was att
tached he acted as its commanding Of
ficer and very ably performed the du-
ties, though the members of his or
ganization were for the most part
from ten to twenty years older than he.
The news of his selection to represent

is Justified in this liberality because
these young men have risked or have
been willing to risk, their lives for their

The insurance agent who today in
duces former service man to drop his
government policy will in the future
years be utterly despised and dis
trusted, said Director Cholmeley- Jones
today.
Il regret there are some few insur-
ancs agents who have disregarded their
moral obligation to assist the ex-
service man by encouraging them to
drop their government insurance and
take out insurance in private compa-
nies. All ex-service men in such in
stances should combine in their dis
approval of such action and should in
some forceful way express their utter
disgust for those who are found guilty
OF such practices. In the years to come
feel confident that there will be one
man in the world the service men will
utterly despise and distrust, and he
will be the INSCRIPTIONS agent who in
a time of test was found wanting."

HALF MILLION STANDING ARMY
 IS ADVOCATED

'' WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 (by Associ- ated Press) ).-Secretary of War Baker told the military affairs committee of the house of representatives today that plans for a permanent peace-time army of 50000O officers and men, with a universal system of military train ing, are under way.
 The war departments plans contem- plate that all the special army serV- ices created during the war are to be maintained as separate branches, ex- cept the chemical warfare service, which is to be merged with the engi- neer corps.
 Secretary Baker has submitted to congress the war departments bill au- thorizing a field army with a war strength of 1,25O,OOO men on the active force. This army will be composed of 510,000 regulars and the remainder will be made up of youths who will be compelled to take three months mili- tary training course upon reaching their 18th birthdays.
 This reserve strength will be used to fill out twenty infantry divisions and one cavalry division of the regu- lar army.
 The bill provides for the abolition of promotion of officers by seniority. Sec retary Baker said the war had shown this system to be defective.
 In the event of war the draft act is to return to force.
