|NTERS' MEET
To END WITH
ELECTION
Typothetae Officers Likely to
Be Chosen Without Any
Contests.

f Election of officers this afternoon
will end the thirty:seventh annual
convention of the United Typothetae
of America, in session at the New
Willard Hotel for the past four
days.
In many respects the gathering
has been the most notable in the
history of the organization. Not
only has it developed that complete
harmony reigns throughout it's vari-
GUS branches, but actions taken by
the association are declared to fore
shadow some of the greatest ad-
vancements made in the printing
trade.
Sessions today will be held in the
morning and afternoon, with recep-
tons for the newly elected officers
and executive committee tonight
Many of the members will remain
in the city over Sunday. Yesterday
many delegates took advantage of
the opportunity to catch a glimpse
Of David Lloyd George, whose visit
to the Capital was a timely addition
to the features arranged for the en-
tertainment Of the visiting printers.
Officers Nominated.
AS no contest is anticipated, the
election of the nominee reported
by the nominating committee yes
terday seems certain. They follow:
For president, George K. Horn,
Baltimore, Md; for first vice presi-
dent, George K. Hebb, Detroit,
Mich; for vice president, Theodore
Hawkins, Chicago, ILL.,; for vice
president, Fletcher Ford, Los An
geles, Cal; for vice president, o. H.
Pollard, Winnipeg. Manitoba; for
treasurer, Fred W., Gage, Battle
Creek, Mich.
One of the most interesting of
the round table talks was that in
which the advantages of Standard
zation were presented by George
II. Carter, Government printer. 1t
is generally accepted that the pol
icy outlined will be rather widely
adopted in the printing trades and
followed as closely as possible in
the future. Marketing of products
was also discussed, with the result
that several new ideas were en-
dorsed.

Presentation of foot loot, Come

Washington local, occurred at last
nights social session. 1t had been
planned to make it a part of the
reception entertainment given the
delegates at the Government Print

to the delayed arrival of the guests
it was omitted from the program.
A vocal solo by Mrs. Frank Howard
and dancing concluded the evenings

been equally true in recent years of

The visit of the students will afford
them opportunity of seeing and test

they will be qualified to do by their
training.
Approximately $4,000 students are
taking courses in agriculture or
dairying in various State colleges.
The attendance at these schools, it
is said, is steadily increasing. The

THE GUARDS COAT AGAIN.

THE writer recently described
in this column a smart, dark
blue, chinchiHa double breasted
overcoat fashioned after the
English Guards uniform over
coat that will be seen about a
great deal this winter. 1t will
perhaps be recalled the coat
has a ventless back with a half
belt and a smallish skirt.
In his perambulations around
town and in mems stores, the
writer discovered a variant of
this same coat that should COM
mend itself to short men or
stout men, who might wish to
add such a coat to their
wardrobe, one they will find
useful on many occasions, but
who feel the belted and pleated
back will accentuate their
shortness or their stoutness, as
it most probably will do. -
This variant is precisely the
same model in front, save in
one small particular, as before
described, but the back is
quite plain. There is no belt
and there are no pleats. In
stead, the overcoats has a vent
and the skirt is a little fuller
than in the belted coat, though
this feature does not disturb
the snug fit of the garment.
In the front the only change
is the absence of a breast
pocket which, if memory serves
Alright, is in stricter accordance
with the style of its famous
prototype, but in all other re-
spects seems an omission to be
regretted.
One cannot help repeating
that these models seem by far

assert that this il no time to cripple
the American nayy-it is imperative
that the fleet be maintained at the
top notch Of efficiency and readiness.
Every man, woman and child in
this country is suffering today be-
cause of the frightful waste and
doubled taxation resulting from our
deliberate unreadfnesS for che world
war. We wasted billions In being
unprepared..
Had the navy been adequate and
ready in 1917--its officers and men
were ready, but nothing else was
every citizen, every farmer in this
country would find his taxes at
least half what they are today. A
good navy is the best form of
national and economical insurance.
Needs Of Navy.
Briefly stated, the following are
the critical needs of the navy today:
/. Men and officers to man the
fleet.
Q. Fuel and funds to maneuver
and prepare the fleet for battle.
8. Modern submarines. OF which
we have none.
A. Airplane carriers, and strong
air force, without which fleet can,
not leave the home coast, or hope
to win in modern naval warfare.
There is nothing extravagant or
sensational in these statements
They challenge contradiction. Space
forbids presentation of the bewilder.
ing mass Of facts to prove the folly
and the fatality Of naval weakness.
And just one more parting bomb
Of common sense and truth-as be,
tween an efficient up-to-date navy
and a crippled navy, the. saving
to the taxpayer would be less than
IS cents per capita per annuml
Navy day and Roosevelt day com,
bined, therefore, speak Of national
security, a strong influence for
peace in the world, and the ulti.
mate saving Of billions in taxation.

FARM STUDENTS
WILL VISIT
CAPITAL
College Men to Study Methods
of Agriculture Depart
n1ent Here.

More than 800 agricultural col
lege. students will be the guests
of Washington the latter part of
November. They will remain IN the
Capital for a week. While here
they viii spend much of their time
at the Department of Agriculture.
-. A Surprise Visit.
In sense the visit of the stu
dents is surprise party given the
department.. as the latter has not
been active in organizing the pill
grimage. 1t is the result, it is said,
Of a. decision reached by number
Of the grange organizations in New
Jersey. Pennsylvania. Ohio ana
Michigan to add to the upper class
work a visit to the National Capital
when opportunity viii be given the
students to become acquainted at
first hand with the Agricultural
Department.
AT the department 1t was said to-
day that the movement is one OF
the. most important developing in
connection with agricultural school
activities. Although in touch with
these institutions in various States,
through representatives which visit
them regularly and through the
State experimental stations, which
are continually reporting to the de-
partment, an annual visit to the de-
partment by students completing
their courses, it is said, will do more
In the next few years to increase
the influence of the department
over agricultural interests than any
agency SO far. developed.
Grange Backs Move.
Grange interest in organizing the
movement, it is understood, was
excited two years ago following a
visit to Washington. by a number
of leading grange officials. Later
1t was taken up with local and
state oranges and quietly started.
Included in the grange program, IT.
IL said, is plan to secure State
appropriations to be added. to agri.,
cultural college budgets to cover
expenses of the students in making
the trip. AS the farmer vote in
all of the States maintaining well
developed agricultural colleges is
an important factor largely repre-
scented in the legislatures, it is
predicted that within the year such
appropriations will be made in
several Of the leading agricultural
States.
. Officials of the department feel,
they say, that the movement is
one which they can best assist by
leaving it to be managed by grange
interests. They freely admit the
value both to the department and
the agricultural colleges of visit
here by graduating students.
They also cencede that, as the
farmers constitute the department.

dalton. 1t will be. to the advantage
of the department to increase the
number OF farmers in the Gountry
who have visited it and come into
personal contact with its aims and
policies.
