Underwear advertisements are pe fculiarly thrilling Just now. Twas better to have tried and lost than never to have tried at all A suggestion: Why not a hobble skirt for the bride’s wedding gown? The death of eight aviators in the past month proves aviation a costly sport. A deaf chauffeur must be in the same class as a color-blind locomotive (engineer. One Chicago woman bid a diamond’ In an umbrella. Quite so. However, she got it back. Every time football kills a boy one (cannot help wondering if football is Ireally a sport. Aviators make rings around the god £ess of liberty, but no one else is per lltted to do so. Our Idea of a well-trained balloon is Erne that will go to Mexico instead of o Canada at this season. When the America became a wreck! Iftt sea it went up Instead of down, frkis is a new record at any rate. At the prevailing prices modest per-| sons might think it a privilege to be an egg. especially a strictly fresh egg. The gowns worn at aviation meets| already begin to draw attention away from the horridly unconventional man birds. Roth Manuel and Alfonso have the! pearl gray spnt habit. No wonder ,they are constantly getting into hot •water. Is the dirigible Just coming into Its own, or is this last splurge of cross ing the English channel but a dying gasp? A scorching automobilist in Kansas City knocked down four blind girls at once. That appears to be the ree- Joril for the season. A ' As a new SIOO counterfeit bill is in circulation the waiters in the more luxurious beaneries should be careful (when accepting tips. j That New York girl who was mnr 'ried amid a fringe of puppy dogs prob- | (ably will like her husband, too, when (she gets used to him.

Sixteen new stars have been found; In the last 25 years and 13 of them, 1 have been found by women. Which again goes to prove that women were always partial to stars. A man In Germany who traded his! (wife for a pig was declared by the, ijudge before whom he appeared to have made a suitable exchange, as he himself was but a hog. Samoa is breaking into the limelight With hookworm. As 85 per cent, of the natives are suffering with it, Sa moans think the fact entitles them to some part of the world's notice. It has been announced in New York! .that hereafter smugglers, whether of high or low degree, will be sent to jail Instead of being fined. This ought to stimulate the conscience of the return ing traveler. A sure test to prove a sober condi tion or the contrary has often been! suggested, but not altogether decided upon. A guest in a Gotham hotel has apparently established a sure one. He iordered two taxicabs sent to his room. When aeroplanes are drived, asj early in their developments as this, atj the rate of more than a mile a minute,! for CO miles at a stretch, it is evident' that* the automobile has its work cut tout if it is to keep ahead of the flying machines in speed. A Good Business. "Ruggles, you -ought to go into the business of raising chickens by hand. It’s great.” "1 believe I would.

GENERAL WOOD FAVORS A BIG VOLUNTEER ARM¥ UNITED STATES ARMY NOT PRE PARED FOR WAR, SAYS THE CHIEF OF STAFF. TO RE-ESTABLISH CANTEEN General Wood Paints a Gloomy Pic ture of Shortcomings of U. S. Army in Annual Report. Washington.—Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff, paints a rather gloomy picture of the lack of prepar edness of the army in case of war In his annual report to the secretary of war. There are weak spots in many di rections, he says, and most serious is the shortage of field artillery and am munition, a fault which should be Im mediately attended to. Gene ral Wood declares that there is a great lack of reserve seacoast ammunition, and that at the present rate of appropriation by congress, it will take more than fifty years to obtain a reasonable sup ply of ammunition for the coast de fense and a still longer time to .se cure the necessary number of field artillery guns and ammunition. If the regular army and organized militia at war strength were called to arms now, says General Wood, there would be a shortage of more than 50 per cent, in the field artillery necessary to equip them. As this force would represent only a portion of the force called to arms in case of war w'ith a first class power, the gravity of the situation becomes apparent. General Wood strongly urges the passage by congress of the bill pend ing for raising a volunteer army In time of war. He says this will cost nothing in time of peace, and will save the government millions of dollars In time of war. The present law Is so unsatisfactory and vague that the gen eral staff cannot make preparations in advance for its execution in event of war. Other needs of the military service are set out in the report, including the addition of 610 officers to replace those detailed from line duties for staff and militia work; the creation of a reserve of not less than three hun dred thousand men who have served in the regular army or militia; the concentration of the army in large posts; the re-establishment of tue can teen, and finally the increase of the signal corps aud the acquisition of aeroplanes.

J. —Resolutions calling for drastic regulation of ail railroads of the country and giving the Interstate commerce commission power to nullify freight and passen ger rates proved to he extortionate, were adopted by the National Grange.
