NAVY.

A perusal of the recruiting situa
ton of the Navy indicates that the
selective recruiting measure policy
adopted by the department has re-
flected a marked improvement in the
enlisted personnel problem, which has
been a perplexing one for the Navy
Department authorities to solve for
some time. No difficulty has been ex-
perienced by the recruiting service
in maintaining the authorized enlist
ed strength of the Navy--viz.., $4,000
men-and since the operation of this
selective system fewer recruits are
required as replacemepts. 1t is be-
lieved that these measures will play
an important part in reducing the
number of desertions. under age and
dependency discharges.
Since the treaty for the Limitation
of armaments has been ratified, the
relative vssIe Of trained personnel to
man the limited number of ships has
been greatly increased, and il is es-
sential that the personnel to man
these ships be of the highest type.

While 1t is true that number of
vacancies still exist in the petty ON
Ger ratings Of the Navy, this number
Is being steadily reduced by the
qualification and advancement Of men
who have demonstrated their ability
to perform the duties of their rating
In fact, during the past year the
number OF such vacancies has been
reduced from more than 5000 to less
than 1000, the latter being confined
almost wholly to, few specialized
groups of ratings where there is a
brisk demand in civil life in corre-
spending trades.
Desertions have decreased about 81
per cent from the experience of the
fiscal year 1924, the number OF men
returning to the Navy from a deser-
tion status has increased from 60
per cent to II per cent: losses to
the service from causes other than
expiration of enlistment have shown
considerable reduction. and re-en-
listments have reached So per cent, a
percentage hitherto unthought of.
Navy Department authorities are
hopeful that even a better showing
will be made prior to the end of the
1925 fiscal year.
With the number Of midshipmen of
the Naval Academy reduced from five
to three appointments for each Sem
ator and Representative. 1t is doubt
full that the Navy will ever attain
its authorized commissioned strength,
but will always be from 700 to 500
officers short of that strength. AS
of September 80. 1924. the number
Of commissioned officers in the Navy
was 6.6S2. excluding 1.466 warrant
and chief warrant officers, as COM
pared to the total authorized COM
missioned strength of the Naval es.
tablishment of about $500.
Since the war separations and
designations from the service have
continued to run at an unusually
high rate. Prior to hostilities, the
rate of attrition was about 3.5 per
cent, while since the close of the
war this rate has increased to Al
per cent. The majority Of the resig-
nations are from young line officers.

PRICE CHANGES
 IN COTTON FEW
Market, Is Sluggish, Ad- vancing And Declining
 Aimlessly Past Week

NEW ORLEANS, March 2ss--Aside from a moderate spurt of activity at the very beginning of the period, the past week has developed very sluggish trading and very narrow range of fluctuations, prices advancing and de- cliuins alternately in an aimless sort of way, with very little net change to show from day to day. The active trading months at the close Saturday showed net losses for the week of 19 to 37 points, the most loss being in the old-crop months. M
 At the start of the week the market
 was moderately stimulated by rather favorable Liverpool advances and by quite large spot sales in that market, the larger business being attributed in great measure to exports to the con tinent of Europe and a good demand from Russia. The market soon de- veloped a somewhat easier tone, mainly due to the sluggishness of the dry goods market and the further talk of mill curtailment. Some disposition to sell on these influences developed, but the sellers found it difficult to cover as soon ns they started to buy back what they had sold. the market being sup ported by succession of rains in the cotton belt, accompanied by snow and freezing weather, freezing temperatures extending practically to the gulf coast
 With shorts afraid to sell with any vim and those bullishly inclined fear ing to buy, owing to the dry goods and mill situation, the market relapsed into an almost lethargic; state, with net changes from day to day virtually nothing. Even the publication of the final ginning figures for the year by the census bureau failed to cause any movement in prices, because the totals shown were about what the trade

Campaign For Child Health
 To Open In Nation May Day

at work in factories when they should be in school.
 ''The picture is not all dark In the last 20 years, the United States infant mortality has been reduced by one half. In no other nation of the world is there. such solicitude for i'll and crippled children. This shows what can be done. There is no country where children are held in such ten- derness as in America. Our delinquency is not in individual regard, but in com munity effort that will surround our children as whole with such safe guards as to bring them to healthy maturity. s
 This is a problem of maintaining health, rather than curing disease. Therefore, I lay before you the pro- posed effort to secure more concen- trated public attention in establishing community conditions by which chil- dren may have the assurance of full health and strength"
 The plan laid before the President by Mir. Hoover included asking gov ernOrs of states, commissioners of health: and education. mayors of cities, organizations of various kinds, the press, the motion picture industry, radio stations and other agencies to join in great celebration on May Day to arouse constructive and com munity action for American children. President Coolidge, in a cordial let ter, gave his hearty approval to the plan and praised the services of asso- cciations working to solve the prob- lems presented by present-day condi- tions.
 The headquarters of the American Child Health association, where the work will centre. are buzzing with preliminary activity. Letters are being sent to officials and organiza- tions all over the country, and re- cponses are already beginning to come in, it was said yesterday, which in- dicate that the idea is arousing much interest.
