NAVY PROTESTS USE DF UNIFORMS BY CIVILIANS ' - Base Uses to Which Dis charged Members Put Out fit Basis of Naval ' Complaint. N'avy men arc sorely grievtd over the base uses to which the uniform is being put by discharged members of the military forces who were al iowed by law to retain a complete outfit on their return to civilian "life. In a complaint that has reachtd Secretary Daniels it it stated that "civilians are wearing the uniforms as hawkers at county fairs, circuses and on the strejt corners, and that the condition of a msjoritiy of these , uniforms is altogether disreputable. The uniform to this extent has been debased and the reoect for it and the governmental authority which it represents, it is believed, has been lowered to a corresponding degree." Secretary Daniels has written .Speaker Gillette setting forth this nad state of affairs, and suggesting that some limitations be placed by law on the wearing of the uniforms. It is urged that the uniform, which includes the overcoat, could be al lowed properly worn at post meet ings, encampments, civic and anni versary parade and similar func tions, but should not be made a knockabout suit by its possessor. "It is the opinion of the Navy department," says Secretary Daniels, reterring to the legislation allowing service men to retain a complete suit of outer uniform clothing, "that this legislation has opened the door to considerable abuse of the uni form; that discharged men and oth ers are now wearing the naval and military uniform' in unkempt con dition and while engaged in all sorts of occupations, and that unscrupu lous individuals do not hesitate to use the uniform for the purpose of aiding them to accomplish acts which otherwise would not be tol erated." The house naval affairs committee ' has had its attention directed to the complaint made by Secretary Daniels, and will consult with the spick and span naval officers as they appear before the committee later on steps necessary to be taken by congress by way of legislation to correct if possible, abuses of priv ileges granted.

' V i "BLIND FISH" IS TERM APPLIED TO "SMILELESSMAN" Dr. E. C. Barker, Apostle of Happiness, Tells Rotarians About Sunshine Road. How to keep from being a "blind fish" in a world offering beauty and joy to those who try to ee, wai described to RotariantT and others at the First Congregational church last night by Dr. Charles E. Barker, apostle of smiles, physical culture exponent, and pergonal physician to William Howard Taft during his term as president. Here is one recommendation he made for finding the road to happi ness: Morning Laugh In Bed. "When you open your eyes in the morning, lie there in bed for a few minutes and laugh heartily." You may feel foolish about it I guess it really is foolish but it will get re sults." The following "recipe for happi ness" he uriied his hearers to try out for a test period of at least three months: '.'1. Cultivate the habit of always looking on the bright aide of every experience that touches your life. 2. Accept cheerfully the place in which you find yourself each day, believing always it is the best place for you at that particular time. o. Do not have a double stand ard of conduct, cne standard when 'all dolled up,' and another for 'back home.' Happiness, like charity, should begin at homei 4. Form the habit of doinp- little kindnesses and courtesies each day for all the people who touch your life (including your wife, of your husband). 5. Adopt and maintain a simple. ehildlika confidence in God as a father." "Blind Fish" People. Dr. Barker characterized as "blind fish" individuals who continue to twim in dark blue waves of worry and floods of fret,, because tfiey claim their 'dispositions and tem peraments' keep them from any other course. "Everything has a bright side for the person who looks for that side," he dclared, "and there is no indi vidual fundamentally unable to change his disposition. Too many people worry about things which have not taken place, and which they cannot prevent from taking place." Here are some of the "don ts." he suggested for seekers of happiness "Don't envy the position and op portunities oi ottier people. Hatpi ness is not dependent on what you nave, out upon wnat you do. "Don't indulge in domestic 'scfap ping.' "Don't get the idea that dreaming or dnlting irresponsibly through life is the solution of happiness, "Don't forget to cultivate the op timistic nerve." Breakfast table chats form the acid test of happiness in the" home, he said. Reduced Taft 100 Pounds. The most important thing he ac complished in his four years of min istration to Mr. Taft" was reducing the former president's weight 100 pounds Dr. Barker declared. He invited adults to attend his lectures under Rotary club auspices at South High school at 10 a. m. 'Vednesday and at Commercial High school at 1 p. m. At 2 p. m. the same day he will lecture to Omaha women at the Hotel Fon tenelle on "The Mother's Responsi bility to Her Children." At a public Rotary club dinner at the Masonic temple at 6:30 p. m. he will talk to men on "The Father's Responsibil ity to His Sons."

Barrett has four abdominal and chest wounds, one of the bullets having torn away a portion of the liver. He has become irritable and exacting, officer say, and makes trouble tor the nurses. Another May Die. Nick Depor, seventh victim of the shoeing, had a bad turn yesterday and his wounds may cause death, al though he was the least severely wounded of all.

Both said they saw Shafer and the automobile load of federal and police officers who were conducting a booze raid in the vicinity of the cool hall five minutes before the robbery was attempted. Waited Till Police left. They told Shafer that they waited iust long enough for the officers to get well out of the way before start ing 'the holdup, knowing ttiat Mialer had the big police car, and that they could execute the robbery and scat ter before a fresh batch of officers could be collected and sent to the dooI hall.

"But nobody com plains about the high cost of re ligion, becai!31 religion today doesn't cost any. more than it did iu years aeo.Mt fiueht to cost more.

How Times Have Changed Since Twenty Years Ago Urbana, O., Feb. 29. How times do change 1 It is interesting to contrast condi tions existing today with those of 20 years ago. A local club woman has just re minded her fellow, club members of the fact that 20 years ago: Nobody swatted the fly. ' Nobody wore wrist watches. Nobody wore white shoes. Most young men had livery bills. Farmers came to town for their mail. The hired girl received $1.50 a week and was happy. The butcher threw in a chunk of liver. Nobody listened in on the tele phone. .

Begin Again; Wilson Report Worries Italy London, Feb. 29. (By The Asso ciated Press.) The proposal for the re-opening of the Adriatic discus sions, which the British and French premiers advanced in their latest note to President Wilson, was translated into action today. Premier Nittl of Italy and Anton Trumbitch, Jugo-Slav foreign min ister, held a conference in London this morning which was described as a resumption of the "conversa tions" Premier Nitti began with M. Trumbitch in Paris some time ago. The nature of the "conversation" has not been .disclosed, both the Italian and Jugo-Slav delegations declining information, but it is ex pected the conference will be Con tinued tomorrow. Some stir appears to have been caused among the Italian delegation by a report from Washington that President Wilson would not accept the Anglo-French proposal for new negotiations. The Italians are in quiring whether there is any truth in this report and whether they may regard it as official. Anti-Saloon Counsel Warns Lawmakers Against Wet Plank Washington, Feb. 29.
