DAYLIGHT SAVING?
NOT FOR 8KAGWAY
Skagway.—The Skagway (Alas
ka) Commercial club has gone on
record as against the daylight
saving plan, since in summer
they have all day all night, with
the exception of the few min
utes at midnight called "dawn."
In the northerly part of the Yu
kon there is so much daylight
there that It is necessary to
blindfold the chickens so they
may go to roost.
MILITARY TRAINING FOR
HALF A MILLION BOYS
P«f«nM Society Plan* Drill* In High
6ohool« Throughout Country.
New York.—With the object of great
ly reducing the time required to make
competent soldiers out of raw recruits,
the American Defense society set in
motion a comprehensive plan for or
ganizing the Junior and senior classes
of every boy's high school In the coun
try Into military training units. New
York state alreay has military train
ing of high school students. Every
other state in the Union has received
the "call to arms."
The action was taken by the mili
tary defense committee of the society
after consulting Major General Leon
ard Wcod. Volunteers will be required
to read the constitution of the United
States and pledge themselves before
the mayors of their cities to uphold It.
Then they will receive certificates of
enrollment, charters and detailed in
structions for military training week
by week. A ten mile hike each week
and setting up exercises will be re
quired of recruits, who will be com
pelled to put themselves in first class
physical trim.
The society and its advisers are par
ticularly anxious that the boys of the
country should not be taught anything
that they would have to unlearn if at
the age of eighteen they were called
to the colors after leaving school. For
that reuson close order military drill,
the manual of arms and such only will
be taught where competent Instructors
arc available.
SIXTY-FIVE YEARS OLO,
HIKES SIXTY-FIVE MILES
Samuel S. Cavin, Atlantic City
Lawyer, Celebrates Natal
Day With Long Walk.
Philadelphia.—Sninuei S. Cavin is an
attorney who was sixty-five years old
recently, and he personally conducted
the following celebration:
He walked sixty-live miles. Elapsed
time, midnight to 8:15 p. m.
And did It on an empty stomach.
Then he came home.
Took a rubdown.
Ate a big steak.
Smoked a big cigar.
And said that he "was off" the walk
ing stunt again until he was seventy
years old, when he would walk seventy
miles.
Mr. Cavin is a ruddy cheeked, agile,
athletic man who belies his ag<>. He
has been celebrating his birthday In
this manner for a number of years, so
at midnight he left Atlantic City and
began his hike. He came to Kaighn's
ferry, which Is sixty-one miles from
the shore, and thence to his home, a
distance of sixty-five miles. Mr. Cavin
attributes his ability to make these
trips to a regular system of living. "I
get up In the morning, take a cold bath
and eat a hot breakfast," he said.
"Then I keep myself on a regular
schedule and walk whenever I get the
chance. I shall cut out walking birth
days after this and confine myself to
five year periods. About the time I am
one hundred the Cobbs Creek boule
vard may be done and I may take a
century run over that.
"Oh, I forgot something. I get busy
with the dumbbells every morning."
LONG WALK FOR JUROR.
Train* Did Not Serve, So McCrill Foot
ed It For Many Milea.
Leavenworth, Kan.—How would you
like to take a little jaunt, say twenty
flve or thirty miles, at the present
time? Sure, a nice little walk. Well,
Kirby MeCrill so sizes up a trip of that
length.
Kirby was among those summoned
to sit on a jury. There happened to be
no trains coming to Leavenworth when
Kirby desired to start. That didn't
bother him. neither did the high price
of shoe leather. So Kirby walked to
Kansas City, a distance of about twen
ty-seven miles.
"It was Just a nice little stroll," said
Kirby. "I take long walks often and
there is nothing like it to preserve one's
good health. At Kansas City I caught
an interurban car and came to Leaven
worth. I intend to walk back when I
get through with the Jury work."
Surgeon Replaced Mule'a Ear.
Flushing, 0.—The ear of a valuable
mule of the Belaiout Coal company has
been saved. While being worked in
the mine a live wire came In contact
with the mule's ear and burned it off
close to the head. Dr. V. H. Stevens
was summoned and he sewed the ear
back on the mule's head. The opera
tion was successful and the mule will
not be disfigured.
STEAL CHICKENS, BUT
LE*VE AN AUTOMOBILE
Kansas City, Mo.—Chicken
thieves who robbed the hen
roost of a farmer near this city
the other night were unable to
get their automobile starter to
work, so they left the flivver be
hind. Although the farmer ap
propriated the machine for the
two dozen chickens stolen, he
said he thought the thieves got
something the better of the bar
gain.
