Soldiers Keep Their Uniforms for Ceremonial Use
TOWARD the end of the Sixty-fifth congress protests against the return of
uniforms by soldiers poured into congress. For example, here is part of a
memorial from the legislature of Montana:
SOLDIERS 1
SAILORS A«
iHARilSJ I
m«K££P^l
■UWfOKHi V
"Memorial to congress of the
United States to enact such legisla
tion as may be necessary to permit
the honorably discharged soldier, ma
rine, or sailor to retain in his posses
»sion such clothing as, uuder the provi
sions of paragraph 11C5, army regula
tions. he is permitted to take to his
home.
Whereas under provisions of para
graph 1165, army regulations, an enlist
ed man honorably discharged is per
mitted to wear one suit ofvjunifonn
outer clothing from the place of termtflfttlon of his active service to his home,
which clothing will be returned within four months after termination of his
active service, by mall uuiler a franked label;
Whereas these soldiers, marines, and sailors hnve taken much pride in
their uniforms and wish the privilege of keeping them In their possession;
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the house (the senate concurring) that we, the members of
the Sixteenth legislative assembly of the state of Montana, do hereby petition
and earnestly pray the congress of the United States to enact such legislation
as may be necessary to change the provisions of paragraph 11G3, army regu
lations. and make it possible for an honorably discharged man to retain one
suit of uniform outer clothing."
The result was that a bill was passed and the act wa? signed by the presi
dent reversing previous orders that noncommissioned officers and privates
must turn In their uniforms. The act provides that uniforms and personal
equipment may be retained and may be worn on occasions of ceremony.
This act applies to soldiers, sailors and marines honorably discharged
since November 11, 1918, or hereafter honorably discharged.
SEATTLE'S BATTLING MAYOR
Ole Hull sun, Seattle's battling
mayor, who queiied that city's big
strike ill a way that has evoked na
tionwide admiration, says what he
.means and means what he says.
Mayor Hauson, when he was trav
eling south to seek his fortune many
years ago, was iu a railroad wreck at
Marathou, Tex. Two of his children
Mild his wife escaped with slight in
juries; but his baby girl, Dorothy, only
fourteen mouths old, was burned uud
received fatal injuries. Since then he
lias a strong prejudice against riding
iu trains. Me drove to Seattle iu a
covered wagon all the way from Ra
cine. Wis., the family home and his
birthplace. He went with two chil
dren ; now he lias ten.
Hanson started In Seattle 1C years
ago as a grocer. Times were hard
and he went "broke." Borrowing $75,
he entered the real estate business,
ami soon rnu out of town the leading
man In that line, who was conducting an Irregular scries of transactions.
Made popular by his tights for the people, Hanson became state senator.
Once, on the floor of the senate, an opposing seuator lied to him. Ole swatted
him one on the nose.
On retiring from the senate, Ole came back to municipal affairs to find the
red-light district running wild. As a result there came the recall of Mayor
Hiram Gill. The city wanted an honest, truthful, lighting mayor, and they
elected Ole Hanson.
He made good.

' USE OF PHONETIC SPELLING
I
| Reasons Advanced Why It Would Be
Well if Ite Study Should Be
Made More General.
Phonetics In Its broadest sense Is a
study of the whole range of sounds,
articulate, musical and otherwise. In
its restricted sense It Is confined to
articulate sounds of human speech.
Even In this restricted sense It Is still
broad enough to Include the subject
of tlie acoustic or mechanical side and
the anthropological or philological
side. It may discuss simply the
speech vibrations that cause any par
ticular sensations on the human ears,
or it may luclude an Investigation of
the manner and causes of the changes
the articulate sounds of a language
undergo as It develops. The study
of phonetics Is widely advocated by
philologists and by many of the most
thoughtful teachers for three reasons:
(1) That persons may speak their
mother tongue correctly through thus
learning to know the proper valuation
of Its sounds; (2) that they may learn
successfully the pronunciation of oth
er languages, to which a knowledge of
their own Is the best Introduction;
(8) that those wbo wish to study
philology may have a key to that
science. And the sounds of our lan
guage cannot be successfully studied
or explained without some use of pho
netic spelling. Hundreds of phonetic
alphabets have been proposed, but the
only one that has made progress and
bids fair to become general (naturally
with some modifications) Is that of
the Association Internationale Phone
tlque. This alphabet took form be
tween 1885 aad 1889 In proposals made
by Paul Edouard Passy, a noted
French phonetician.

"Take me with you, Burrie," his sis
ter begged. "I'll promise not to break
in on your fishing, and I have always
wanted to stop at that Inn on the
shore."
But her brother shook his head.
"I know what that would mean," he
complained; "being dragged In with
new-made acquaintances for all sorts
of entertainments. I am going to in
dulge myself In a fishing trip, and not
to make a target for a lot of angling
girls."
"As to that," answered Miss Dulcle,
"you are too absorbed in your own af
fairs, Barrie, to notice that I am usu
ally * target myself for confident male
attention. Unbelievable as It may
seem, 1 also yearn for solitary pleas
ure. I'd rather enjoy myself in my
own way, with books for company, and
no dress fractious to bother. Let me
go, Barrie; I will hide away In a cor
ner with magazines and chocolates^
and hare the time of my life."
"And I suppose," her brother scoffed,
"that I wouldn't be hailed at evening,
tired after a day's sport, to help you
entertain Miss New Somebody or oth
er."
"You wouldn't," his sister promised.
Suddenly her expressive face bright
ened. "Barrie," she said, "I'll tell yon
what: Let us pretend we are a mar
ried couple. ^Just for a lark. Why
not? That understanding would pre
vent the troublesome complications
you are conjuring. No one knows us
in that out-of-the-way place: we art
not likely to see again those we may
meet. Even In that possibility, the
thing would be considered a natural
mistake—Mr. and Miss Trent. Instead
of Mr. and Mrs." Dulcle lumnpd to
ner wet. "Oh I come on, agree, Bar
rle," shn coaxed, and laughingly Bar
rle agreed.
He wa» bound to admit the wisdom
of hi* sister's plan, after his first sat
isfactory day'* fishing. The tree-shel
tered corner he chose was most rest
j fnl, and the flsh seemed waiting t)
bite. When he returned Joyously
weary to the veranda of the Inn, Dul
cle, ttrangely unattended, loafed hap
pily In her hammock. Her simple mid
dy comfortably crumpled, and her
hair twisted Itself In uncared-for
rings.
"Tomorrow," Barrie told her, "I shall
start at five in the morning." And he
did. He was forcing his way through
obstructing branches, to his chosen re
treat, when he paused abruptly. In as
tonishment. Another fisherman or
rather flsberwoman, had forestalled
him. Calmly holding a bamboo rod,
■at the prettiest girl he had ever
seen. At least that Is what Barrie
thought; others might have disputed
his opinio*. And Barrie all his young
life had been Indifferent to female
charm.
This girl, who was unlike any other
girl Barrie had known, turned upon
him frownlagly, and bade him, as one
man to another:
"Keep still or you'll spoil my bite."
Barrie kept still, until the struggle
betweea tie flsh, which was large, and
the girl, who was small, threatened to
to throw both into the river. Then
Barrie came forward masterfully, and
possessing the rod, triumphantly land
ed the flsh.
At which, the girl, whose moods
were strangely surprising, begged Bar
rie to remove the hook and set the
poor flsh free.
"You see," she naively explained, "I
never really expected to catch him."
"Better take him home for dinner,"
Barrie suggested.
"I'm staying at the inn," the girl ob
jected, "so I have no use for him
there."
"I'll keep the flsh myself, then,"
Barrie said decidedly, "to add to my
day's spart."
Reluctantly the girl consented, al
lowing him later to rebalt her hook.
It Is surprising how much environ
ment has to do with the ndvancenvnt
of friendship. Barrie in two meetings
at a formal affair, would have been
addressing his new-found companion
as "Miss Robinson," which she con
fided was her name. But lifter a sec
ond gloriously long and Idle morning
In the Isolated spot beneath the tree«,
he was calling the girl of the fishing
rod "Little Brown Eyes," and his voice
sounded very tender.
"Tou will come again,'Brown Eyes?' "
begged Barrie.
Th« charming girl sadly shook her
head.
"I think not," she said. "Mrs. Trent
might not like It. We usually visit to
gether afternoons on the hotel ver
anda."
"Mrs. Trent." Barrle's heart sank
In uncomfortable recollection. Dul
cie's nine had been forgotten. And
now—how explain?
"Of course," the girl continued, "I
should not have become acquainted
with you—had I not known—Mrs.
Trent first."
The sun had left Barrle's sky and
his step Its spring as he came scowl
ingly to face his sister. A white
tliinneled young man was now In at
tendance.
"Barrle," Dulcie announced care
lessly, "this Is Mr. Robinson. Ilis
sister was a classmate of mine at
Dean's, and she's staying here at the
Inn. I was telling them yesterday
about our little lark. Tt's all off, Bar
rie. Mrs. Trent is no more."
But Barrle's face showed no disap
proval. A girl's laughing face looked
out at him from the shadows of the
hall, and Barrle hastened to step in- 1
side.
