Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Nov. 16.-The Army has
always been rather inquisitiVe about
the physique, training, education and
general history of its members: but
it's getting more and more so every
day, Judging from an inspection OF
the "Soldier's Classification Card
which will have to be filled out ior
and by every new member Of Uncle
Sans forces.
Lieutenant Colonel R. E. McGar-
raugh, Of the nth Coast Artillery
(anti-aircraft), who is stationed al
Fort Bragg and who spoke before
the Kiwanis Club here Friday, left
your reporter one of the cards, which
ne said every soldier received at the
station must have filled out.

Col. McGarraugh said there are
now 10000 men in the Bragg fort
and added that by July Of 1912
barracks will have been completed
for housing $4,000.
The Fort will, he said. remain pri-

there are already infantry units in

there will undoubtedly be others.

ed at 90 10 IS cents.
North Carolina live poultry mar
kets were fairly active this week
with turkeys beginning to attract the
principal trade interest. Prices OF
all classes, however, held about
steady when compared with a week
ago. The market for eggs ruled
firm but there was little change in
price despite a sharp drop in New
York early in the period At the
close in the Raleigh area, candled
and graded, u S. extra large white
eggs at 35 cents and nearby ungrad-
ed hennery whites at 80 to 81 cents
per dozen. were unchanged. Colored
frycrs at 16 to II cents and colored
hens at II TO IS cents pound were
unchanged but Tom turkeys at 10
cents and young hens at 20 to %
cents per pound were slightly easier
AT Chicago, live stock receipts
wree enlarged beyond expectations
by a severe storm that swept through
most of the producing and feeding
areas. Some markets were unable
to operate normally and diversions
were apparent after Monday. How
ever, the price structure did not SUI

ings closing steady 10 % cents low

hogs generally IS cents to 50 cents
off. Prime steers topped at S14.85,
lambs closed at $3.50 down while

The Low Down On
GROVE

Down in Richmond, Virginia,
for years the firement have
been doing a good turn for the
youngsters in their neighbour
hood, giving 'em haircutS - be-
tween fires. And everybody had
fun.
I know they had fun, because
when our boys were smaller -
and before they commenced to
wash their neck without being
told - I had a lot of fun my
self. I maybe clipped an ear now
and then, but I have had an
ear clipped myself, by some OF
the 1ery best BARRIERS in our
nation.
But in Virginia, the firemen
must deSist. No more free hair
cuts. They are violating some
kind Of ordinance. Something to
do with sanitation - washing
their hands, or maybe their own
neck, I don't know. 1t sounds
fishy.
But for being sanitary, you
could cut a boys hair in a
glass-lined and sterilized oper-
ating room, and one-half hour
later you would find him stand
ing on his head in a puddle full
of pollywogs. No pollywog is
more sanitary - maybe less so
- than any Richmond barber.
If I was a Richmond barber,
and my house got on fire, I
would not expect too much
from the fire department..
Yours with the low down,
| 10 SIERRA.

Secretary of the Navy Frank

Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox and William Knudsen,
chairman, of the defense COM
mission, were on the West
coast popping up aircraft pro-
duction. The new navy will have
$4,000 airplanes, as compared to
our present 1900. If production
goes ahead as fast as Secretary
Knox and Admiral Stark, chief
of Naval Operations, say it can,
the navy could have its building
program of ships and plans
completed by 1914.
Plans are now being made to
reopen private shipyards in
Philadelphia, Pa, Chester, Pa,
Los Angeles and Oakland, Calf,
Seattle, WASH, San Francisco,
Calf, Beaumont, Tex, Birm-
ingham, Ala, Tampa, Fla, and
Wilmington, Del. It is planned
to gather artisans from all the
midland states to man these
yards. Previous schedules in our
navy yards have already been
speeded up; workers are on
overtime with pay and a half
for overtime.
With the building of vessels,
there will go forward an expan-
sion of short facilities. The
press also announces that the
navy men will have new bases
in Newfoundland for the de-
Tense of the northeast and in
Bermuda for the southeast by
agreement with Britain. Our ex-
pansion in Alaska and in the
Pacific generally has already
been long begun and will go
forward more and more rapidly.
What does this mean in terms
of men in the Navy and those
about to enter? It portends ev-
er increasing possibilities. The
demands must be made on
present personnel to form a
nucleus from which the man
power for all these ships and
stations will grow in training
and in the traditions of an eff
ficiet organization such as our
navy has always justly claimed
to be.
Cost of Defense
The British land and air de-
Tense takes 1873 per cent of the
nations budget. Italy,s army
and air force takes up 23.45 per
cent Of the budget and Russia's
military costs are % per cent.
Japan spends 25.6 per cent of
its budget on the army and air
force. The United States puts
80 of its budget on defense.
The per capita contribution
to defense in Russia amounts
to $23.34 The United States cit
izen pays $500; the British
$500 each and the Italians,
$3.50. The per capita cost for
Germany is undetermined but it
was estimated thatsthe cost of
defense during the last seven
years amounts to $100, 900, 00u,-
900.

Nautical Novelties
Nays Big Future Is
AglOW In Present

Reading the daily press it is
bourne upon our minds that
this navy of ours is facing a
mighty future. No nation has, as
the press states, ever dreamed
Of, much less possessed, such a
mighty Fleet as Congress has
now voted. With the 10 per cent
increase over existing and
planned craft, which Congress
recently voted, we will have a
battle line of IS battleships; at
the moment we have IS. There
will be SO cruisers, 20 aircraft
carriers, and 100 submarines,
whereas we now have 81 cruis-
ers, 6 aircraft carriers and 102
submarines. There will be 378
destroyerS to our present 237.
This program is not in the
distant future. Just recently
