Capital Calling System Is Revamped by Women
WASHINGTON. Women in official society circles met hero tho other day
and discussed tho national capital's complex calling system with a vlow
to evolving a simpler and more satisfactory method of exchange of tho formal
tary of state; Mrs. White, wife of the
chief Justlco of the Supremo court, wives of cabinet officers and others.
Mrs. Flotcher voiced the sentiment of those present by declaring tho
necessity for a simpler calling system wvs Imperative. Everybody, Bhe said,
wants to return every call that Is mndo upon them, but there Is a limit of
hours In tho day and days In tho week.
"On her first afternoon nt home," said Mrs. Fletcher, "Mrs. Marshall had a
thousand calls and they have nveraged botween 300 and BOO each Wednesday
Blnco Her Blncero effort to return every call has been tho comment and
admiration of all Washington society, but how can anybody return In person
several thousand calls in one season? Mrs. Marsall's experience Is in greater
or less degroe duplicated by everjy official hostess In Washington."
Tho question of simplifying formal calling in Washington has been grow
ing pioro acute during the last ten years, but this mooting was tho first at
tempt at simplification.
American Youth Scramble for Places in Navy
IT takes a "jimmy" these days to break Into tho United States navy as a
plain, ordinary seaman; a stick of dynamltp is necessary to get in as an
apprentice or yeoman. Tho navy dopartmdnt and Its recruiting stations havo
"waiting Hats" containing hundreds of
names of young, husky yotlths "hank
ering" to go to sea.
Tho full, active membership of tho
navy Is limited by law to 51,500 men,
and there are that many enlisted men
now on tho pay rolls. For tho first
timo since tho Civil war the full quota
of men allowod by law has been en
listed. The bars as to fitness have not been
let down, and no men with physical
or mental defects have been enlisted,
but there has been good advertising. Tho tnles of tho cruises and tho details
of tho chances for obtaining an education, Bent out In pamphlet form, havo
swelled tho ranks so that tho bars had to be put up.
Tho greatest number of monthly enlistments, except in war timo, was
made in tho last six months slnco Secretary Daniels began his revolutionary
reforms In tho navy.
Perhaps tho chief cause for tho great Influx of fine, hardy young men Into
tho naval service In tho last few months was tho recent Mediterranean crulso
of the, great Atlantic fleet.
This crulso wan a regular pleasuro trip for tho young seamen, and It was
Intended that it should be such by tho navy department. Long stops woro
mado at all tho prlnclpnl cities on tho Mediterranean, whero shore leavo was
given. At tho different seaports tho American sailors wero entertained In
lavish s'tylo by naval and civic organizations, and In every way Bhown a gen
oral good time. x
Tales of cruises contained in letters sent back to friends from foreign
ports also fire tho Imagination of young, friends "back home." For instance
tho recruits at tho Chicago training station wero recently sent overland to
Bremerton, Wash. They were allowed a stop-over at Yollowstono park, and
other Interesting places. Soon after arriving nt Bremerton they wero assigned
to tho cruiser Now Orleans, which sailed for Mexican waters. On Its trip
south tho cruiser stopped at San Francisco, whore shoro leave was given to
tho youngsters. Now it is reported that as soon as tho Mexican trouble is
settled the Now Orleans will sail for tho Orient.
Discuss the Increasing Scarcity of Army Horses
THERE has been recently a discussion going on among tho army and navy
men on tho increasing scarcity of army horses. Tho army quartermasters,
who have to do with the purchasing of horses for military establishments, say
that there is really an alarming scar

ing abroad. There aro not enough horses now to supply tho commands nt
peace strength.
If there wero to como an emorgency calling for a largo number of horses
tho war department would havo great difficulty In getting them. It Is said
that one reason for tho scarcity of horses is tho falling off of tho product
of thoso who aro raising horses. It Is unofficially declared that tho Increased
uso of automobiles has bad its influence on tho rearing of horses, desplto tho
assertions to tho contrary.
The motor truckc also sorlously affect tho market for draft animals, but
that has to do mostly with tho mulo, so far as tho army is concerned. Tho
mulo will always bo a necessity, dosplto tho Improvement which has been
mado In the motor trucks. Tho animal must bo used with tho troops In tho
field. Tho trucks will bo useful for supplying tho column In tho rear.

CANADA WINNING

Tho Latest Is Winning Cham
pionship for Oats a Third
Time.
Recently was published tho fact of
romarkablo winnings by Canadian
farmers in sovoral events during tho
past throo or four yoars. Tho latest
Is that of Messrs. J. C. Hill & Sons
of Lloydmlnstcr, Saskatchewan, who
won In a hard contest for tho oat
championship over Montana. At tho
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during Fobruary, Montana oats woro
awarded tho championship for tho
United States. Waiting for tho win
ner of this to bo nnnouncod was a
peck of oats belonging to tho Ca
nadian growers abovo mentioned, and
alongstdo of thoso was a Hko quantity
bolonglng to a Minnesota grower, who
was barred from tho regular compe
tition bocauno ho was at ono timo tho
winner of tho trophy tho prise. Tho
threo entries woro sldo by sido on tho
Judge's bench. It would not bo pos
sible to bring togothor throo moro
likely samplos. Tho Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were of equal
weight 50 poundB to tho bushel. Tho
Minnesota samplo waa somo throo
pounds lighter. Tho award was
unanimous In favor of tho Saskatche
wan oats. A romarkablo featuro and
ono greatly to tho credit of tho Ca
nadian product was that tho oats,
grown In 1913, woro grown and shown
by thoso who had competed during
tho past two years, wlpnlng on each
occasion. ThlB, tho third winning,
gavo thorn for tho third timo tho
world's championship nnd full posses
sion of tho splendid $1,500 silver
trophy contributed by tho stato of
Colorado.
Tho oats which havo thus given to
Western Canada anothor splendid ad
vertising card, wero grown 300 mllea
north of tho international boundary
lino, proving that in this latitude, nil
tho smaller grains can bo grown with
greater perfection nnd with moro
abundant yield than further south. In
all this country nro to bo found farm
ers who produco oats running from
42 to 48 pounds to tho bushel, und
with yields of from CO to 100 bush
els per aero. Wheat also does well,
grades high, and yields' from 30 to 40
bushels per aero. Tho Bamo may ho

MAKING A SPLIT LOG DRAG
Anyone Can Make One to Coat From
Almost Nothing to $2.50, Depend
ing on Materials Used.
A subscriber in Latah county, Idaho,
asks us to give him a plan for making
a split log drag for working tho roads
In his county, nnd also wants to know
how lo uso ono. Bays tho Western
Farmer.
Tho drag may bo mado of n log, say
eight foot long and 12 Inches through,
split in tho middle, or of two pleccu of
sawed oak or other substantial wood,
2 by 8 Inches. Aftor n log ts split, glv
lng two flat, faced slabs, boro throo
two-Inch holes In ench slab, as shown
in drawing; connect tho slabs, facing
tho same direction, with threo otnkos
or rounded 3 by 3a long enough to
leavo threo feet of spneo betweon tho
slabs after tho connecting pieces havo
been driven Into the holes. Two or
three planks can bo nailed to thoso
pieces, nffordlug a place for tho driver
to stand, and, at tho samo timo,
strengthening tho drag. Uso a chain
or strong ropo for attachment to tho
doublo-troe. Supposing tho drag to
faco went, and assuming that a chain
is used, fasten ono end of tho chain to
or around tho left hnnd outnldo con
necting brace, lotting tho chain pass
over tho top of tho slab. If attached
to tho faco of tho slab, near tho loft
hnnd ond, tho chain would intorforo
with tho movemont of dirt toward that
ond of tho drag. Tho drag Is run at
an anglo of about 45 degroos, so that
dirt can bo thrown toward ono sldo.
The other end of tho chain must bo
fastened to tho face of tho front slab
near whero tho right hand connecting
ploco comes through, and not around
tho connecting pleco, as It la in tho
Illustration.
Shoo about threo feet of tho bottom
edgo (right hand sldo) of tho front slab
with a piece of iron or stool of th.e
right length, about threo inchos wldo
and a half inch thick, with ono edge
sharp or hoveled. Put it on socuroly,
letting tho sharp edgo project about
half an inch below the edgo of tho slab.
This Bhoo will enablu-tho drag hotter

torlal and construction, and last flvo
to ten years. Anybody can make one.
Roads should bo drgggod 10 or 12
times a year. Tho time Is after each
soaking rain, bo that the drag will
form a smooth mud coat on tho sur
face. When tho frost Is leaving tho
ground is an excellent timo; tho drag
should bo lit use from then until win
ter. Tho work does not Interfere with
ordinnry farming operations, as whon
It iti tho right time to drag tho soil Is
too wet or the conditions ununited for
many kinds of field work. It Is diffi
cult to Invent a good oxcuso for not
dragging. Used at tho right timo and
with proper frequency on practically
all types of earthy soils and thoso of
tho clayey or rolling sections, the drag
will make roads smooth, hard and con
vex tho threo fundamental character
istics of an Ideal dirt road. Tho pro
ceas will form a sort of shell or casing
over tho surface which will shod watoi
llko a roof, and by distributing trnvol
over tho entlro area, Instead of con
fining It to the center, tho shell will
constantly Increase) In solidity. At thd
outset, dragging cannot be done so
rapidly as whon tho load haa beon
Bhapod up by sovoral Bwcopa of the
drag; after thl preliminary work, the
job can bo done In hnlf tho timo orig
inally required. Any boy und farm
team can operato tho drag.

Ono good road Is worth a dozen ar
guments in favor of bottor highways,
and therefore tho people should listen
to tho arguments and then build.

SYRUP OF FIGS
l
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physio into a

Look back at your childhood days.
Romombor tho "doso" mother insisted
on castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated thorn, how yod fought
against taking thorn.
With our children It's different.
Mothers who cling to tho old form of

do. Tho children's rovolt is well-found-od.
Their tender llttlo "insldos" are

If your child's stomach, liver and

action Is positive, but gentlo. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
laxative" handy; thoy know children
lovo to tako it; that It never fails to
clean the liver nnd bowels and sweet

given today saves & sick child tomor

of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for bablos, children
