COMPULSORY TRAINING IN
SENATE ARMY BILL

By a vote of 9 to 8, the Senate
Military Committee approved
provisions providing for compul-
sorry military training for boys
between Is and q years inclusive
and ordered a favorable report
upon the Army Reorganization
bill.
The compulsory military train
ing provision, fixes the training
period at four months.
Specific provision is made in
the bill that the citizen army
can not be called to the colors ex-
cept in case of a declaration of
war. To accommodate the re-
serve force built up under the
system of military training, pro-
vision is made in the bill for an an
nual reduction of 5 per cent in the
enlisted strength of the regular
army and two per cent. in the
first five years. This will mean,
Chairman Wadsworth explained,
that at the end Of five years the
regular army will be reduced by
10000 men and 1900 commits
stoned officers, which will greatly
decrease the cost of maintaining
the military establishment.
The bill also would place all
youths who haye undergone the
four months military training on
the reserve list to be subject to
two weeks, training annually.
Under an amendment by Senator
Spencer, Republican, of Missouri,
dependents of such youths dur
ing training would receive an
allowance the same as now pro.
vided under the WARTS insur.
ance act.

FEVER FAILURES IN 1919 THAN

With fewer commercial reverses
in the United States than in any
year since 1881. where the total
number of firms in business was
less than half the lumber now in
existence, the 1919 insolvency
statement has contributed large

February Will Contaia Five Sundays

For the first time in fort y years
there will be five Sundays in February
of this year. Ordinarily the sequence

the fact that 1900 was not leap year,

erical order, lit did not get back into
position to become the first and last
day of the month from 1880 until this
year.
As most school children know, the
year 1900 was not q leap year. Those
who invented our present system Of
computing time discovered that adding
one day in every four years was frae.
ton too much, so the plan was hit up
on to make century years divisable by
400 only leap years. This, it was found
eyened things up nicely and prevented
January from eventually becoming 6
midsummer month, as might have beer
the case sometime in the next $4,000
years had this not been done.
The first time in the last century
that February had five Sundays was
in 1924. 1t happened again in 1852 anc
in 1880, each period % years apart.
After this year, the sequence will recul
in 194S, 1876, zoos, 2O34 1862. 2osO. anc
then, since 2100 will not be leap year
it will skip to 2130.
Perhaps the question most in the
minds of those who are on a weekly
pay basis is.as to Saturday, but these
can be treasured somewhat by the
knowledge that there will not be five
Saturdays in February until 1886.

Government to Enforcing Game Law

1t will be very advisable for tie
sportsmsn of this State to lay their
guns aside after january 3lst, rs the
wild fowl season closes on that date.
Persons found shooting, hunting. or
killing wild fowl between January 31st
and November 1st, will be prosecuted
before the Federal Courts.
Ga July Is 1919, James Temple, Uni-
ted States Deputy Game Warden, and
William T. Collins, District Deputy
Game Warden Of Maryland, were or
dered by the State Game Department
investigate complaints Of wild-fowl
being killed in violation of Law in the
Marshes of Dorchester County near
Elliotts Island.
In making this investigation, Temple
and: Collins, found three men shooting
wild.fowl near the County road from
the Draw Bridge to Elliotts Island.
The men turned out to be Swain Ewell,
Shelton Gray and Jerry Gray, Eliiotts,
Maryland. Warden Temple reported
same to the U S Department of Agri-
culture Washington.
The eases Of Swain Ewell and Shelton
were tried before John G. Rose Of the
Federal Court, Baltimore, on January
~, 1920, and fined $1,000 and costs of
$50. IA in each case. Jerry Gray did
not appear for trial. owing to the fact
he is at present on an oyster boat which
is frozen up in the Potomac River, but
was notified to appear in Baltimore be-
fore the Federal Court at once.
The Department of Agriculture has
stationed q United States Game Warden
in Maryland, and are using their best
efforts by working through Deputy
Game Wardens in this State to enforce
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
The penalty for shooting, bunting, or
killing wild-fowl or Migratory gam g
during closed season is in the discretion
of the j Judge who can make the fine az
much as $500. 90 together with Federal
,, Jail sentence of six months.

Postal Savings Interest.

When the postal savings system was
established, ten years ago, the pnnciI'ai
mart of the United States debt was bearing
interest at two per cent, the two latest
issues az the bonds. the Panama Canai
series. were at that figure. The rate o.
interest fixed for the Postal Savings
Ronds which were provided for the per
manent investment Of the savings, was
two and 4 half per cent, and that Tate was
fixed on deposits of these savings funds ~
approved and designated local pahAs
Existing savings institutions were paying
three and half per cent, or traction over
that and the feeling that the government
enterprise should not become counpettor
With the exiting savings funds confirmed
other considerations IN fixing the low
interest rate OF two per cent
Most OF these conditions have changed
since that time, and there Is an neon
sistency. TO say the least, In the malnteh-
ance OF the 1910 rate Of interest, when the
government Is offering five and three
Quarters per cent for its current financing
and savings institutions have geneIaliy
increased their interest rates, some 70
double that OF the postal institution
The postal savings system showed .
balance Of profit in its operation within a
| few years, and recently has been ac-
c,inulating surplus at the rate Il over a
! million dollars wear on an aggregate o.
something over a hundred million dollars
Of deposits, according to the Bookkeeping
Of the Postofhce Department, 50 that
some increase in the rate could be provld-
ed without monetary loss TO the govern
ment.
The advance in the rate, which Is no"
being urged, is TO be justified not so much
On the ground that it would attract an
/ increasing volume Of deposits, as that II
y-o,,id be q matter Of simple equity 70 the
hundreds Of thousands Of dcpositnrs VINO
have, for one reason or another, entrusted
their savings to Uncle Sam.
