tfeat the bill In enunciating a principle

the memorial holds, would constitute
"an abandonment of government tor

Provisions of U»e measure for arbi

Unlvsreal Miliary Training Feature
ef Army Reersanlaattoit Measure
Seems to Skat Ita Doom ft the
Lew*# House. «t*
By JAMBS P. HORNADAY.
Washington!— It lookgtooWtf the
United States would continue tp drift ,
so far aa preparedness tor possible ,
war la concern*! The Immediate «n- (
actment of military Mglslattaiaftm- ,
portmnce la not probable. At the pree- ,
ent time not much" Interest Is being (
taken by the men who frame the laws ,
In tf» conatructlen program |iia|Wlsd ,
by the navy department. An Inquiry ,
Into the situation that exlats In con
gress with respect to military and ,
naval legislation shows that most of (
the congreaamen have get -an Impree- ,
alon that there la a distinct reaction
throughout the country against mili
tary or naval legislation and for thla
reaaon, and thla reason alone, they
are disinclined to support any great
forward atep of a military or naval
nature.
The successive steps that have led
to the present situation In the legis
lative body may be enumerated In
thla way: When this congress was
convened in special aeaslon last year
the secretary of war reminded It that
a permanent peace military policy
should be formulated and legislation
la keeping With that policy enacted.
In pursuance of that notice the senate
and houae committee* on military af
fairs took up the Question of perma
nent military legislation. Each com
mtttse heard a great many experts.
Finally the'senate committee reported,
out what la known as the Wadaworth
bill providing for a moat comprehen
sive reorganisation of the military es
tablishment and with limited onlver-.
sal training as one of the features
of the bilk The houae committee haa
never been able to agree on a -bill,
though its efforts in a general way
have been directed along the ltnee
that guided the senate committee.
House Agalnet Military Training.
No sooner was the senate bill with
Its universal training provlalon out
In the open than the members of the
house, regardless of political affilia
tions, began to let It be known that
they were opposed to universal train
ing In any form. On the Republican
side the leader, Representative Mon
dell of Wyoming, came out flatfooted
against the training feeture of the
senate bill and hla position waa sup
ported by the members of the bouse
committee on order of business. The
effect of this was to discourage the
house committee on military affairs
from going ahead .with the Idea that
It should report a bill providing for
unlveraal training. The Detnocraia
of the house, with the notion that they
could gain some political advantage
by taking a stand aa a unit agalnat
unlveraal training, caucueeed and al
moat unanimously voted to oppona
this training. Thla action waa taken
after Preeldent Wllaon had written
the caucua a letter asking It not to
take a atand against unlveraal train
ing.
The upshot of It all Is that the lead
era have decided not to try to get
through universal training legislation
at this session. They believe the main
featnrea of the Wadsworth bill will
eventually be accepted by the coun
try and by congress, but they realize,
so they say, that nothing, perhaps,
could be gained by putting tbat bill
through the senate at thla aesalnn and
sending It to the house to be slaugh
tered.
War Department Will Suffer.
The uprising In congress sgalnat
military legislation leavea the war de
partment In a most unsatlsfsctory
condition. It had counted on legis
lation by the end of the fiscal year
providing for the peace military es
tablishment. Now it will have to ge
along In a makeahlft way until con
gress acts. Meantime nearly all the
new branches of the service that were
built up during the war, like aviation,
motor corps, gas snd flame, etc., are
rapidly deteriorating for lack of
funda. Between now and the end of
the fiscal year, June 90, the regular
army appropriation bill will be
peaaed and It la the thought of the
men In congreaa who are dealing with
the altuatlon to make provision In
that bill for tiding the departasent
over until a permanent policy ahall
have been decided on.
The aentlment In coogreaa la not
quite ao unfriendly to atrengthenlng
the navy but there la an Indlapoettion
to make provlalon for carrying out
any such program aa Secretary Dan
lets haa proposed. Hla program calla
for appropriations approximating
$1,000,000,000 He deal roe permission
to proceed Immediately with week on
36 capital ablpa. Including IS drand
nanghta and 10 battle cruisers, the ul
timate coat of which would be approx
> Imately $780,000,000. For the work
to be done during the fiscal year be
ginning July 1, Mr. Daniels deal res
*200.000,000.
The whole subject of preparedneea.
It la beMtved here, will have to be
taken up by the people. It la fer them
to deride what thev want.

Washington.—Women, through tb«
woman'e bureau of tha department
of labos, art moving to obtain equall
tjr of opportunity In tha government
eerrlcs. La at fall tbla bureau ar
ranged to make a study of positions
In the government aervtce open by ex
amination to women aa compared
with thoee closed to women. Tha
study waa begun In September. On
November 5, ten daya after receiving
a partial report from the bureau, tha
civil service commlaalon paaaad a rul
ing opening all jpautnatlons to both
woman and man, leaving It to the dis
cretion of the appointing oOcera to
specify the sex desired when request
ing certification of eligible*.
On November IS a bill was Intro
duced In tha senate by Senator lie-
Lean of Connecticut, amending tha
statute pow In foree which dates back
to 1870 and provldaa that, at the dis
cretion of the bead ot any department,
women may be appointed to any clerk
ahlp In the government service. The
amendment provides that in request
ing a register of ellglbldrfor appoint
ment the nominating and appointing
officials shall not specify sex unless
sax is a physical barrier to the prop
er performance of the duties to be
fulfilled. Thus one of the ends de
sired has already been almost com
pletely accomplished.
Reflated'tey Old Statute.
The largest employer of labor la
the country and the employer of the
greatest variety of labor, ths United
States govsrnment, has as Its employ
ment agent the civil service commis
sion. This commission Is responsible
for securing the proper person for al
moet every position In the govern
ment service except these of unskilled
labor la . some states, and those filled
by prssldsntlal appointment. The ap
pointment of women to any govern
ment position la sttU regulated by a
Statute written in IB7CV which de
clared that women may In the discre
tion of the bead of any department
be appointed to any of the clerkships
therein authorised by law. From this
statute has sprang the custom of
opening examinations to bom sexes
or dosing them to either sex at the
discretion of tha hsad of any depart
ment, regardless of the fsct that nei
ther rule nor law covers the examina
tion lteelf. ■ ell ;
Barring women or men from any
examination, however, bars them not
only from the special occupation for
which the examlaalloo la given but
from all kladred occupations. All
other bureau* which may require
aervlcee of the aame or Ilk* quality
as thoee specified In the examination
are confined te a register mad* up ex
clusively of one satx whan the oppo
alte sex may be as acceptable or pref
erable; or they must ask for a spe
cial examination In which no aex line
I* drawn; or they must geek the wom
an or man desired sinong those el
ready In ths government service. The
buresu Baking for ths exsmlnatlon In
the first Instance, may, without ques
tion. require ths services of men only
or women only, but by cloelng the ex
smlnstlon to either aex, all other bu
reaus srs restricted In the choice of
service or forced to csll for spsclsl
examinations entailing an additions!
expenditure of time snd money.
Women Often Ixoiuded.
Krom Jsnusry 1, 1919, to June 80,
1019, the civil service commission held
cismlnations to obtain ellglbl* people
for vacendee In 200 different type* of
positions, excluslvs of manufacturing
and mechanical positions In ths ord
nance factories, quartermaster depots,
and nary yards snd exclusive of un
sklllsd labor positions. Women were
excluded from exsmlnstloos for MM)
per cent of those occupations, teeta
for IBS of the occupations being open
to men only. In the scientific snd pro
fessions! positions women were ex
cluded from examination for over 04
per cent of the positions. In the me
chsnlca! and manufacturing aervlcee
ST per cent of the occupations were
cloeed to women. Teeta for clerical
services of all kinds, however, except
seven 18.9 per cent) were open to
women.
Of the 200 occupations) exsmlns-

GOOSE MEAT IS NUTRITIOUS
Pawls Will Be Feund Profitable In
Reglene of Cheap Land and
Abundant Pasturage.
If the gooee of the fable was able
te lay a golden egg there la no reason
why her progeny of the preeent era
cannot repeat thla miracle In a more
concrete form. Qooae meat la nutri
tious and palatable and not greaay

abnndant la a auggeated source of
cheaper meat
Oeeae are railed chiefly In the Booth
and middle West, Kentucky, Tennee
see, Missouri and Arkanaaa being the
chief supply aoarces. During the dec
ade ending In 1010 the total number of
geeae declined 22 per cent, largely be
cause of the lack of cheap pasture
and the limited demand for goose
featbera and goose flesh.
The Toulouse, Emden, Chinese and
African are the most popular Ameri
can breeds of geese, the first two
greatly leading the othera. Occasion
ally the egga are used for cooking, but
generally geese are kept only for meat
and feather production. Practically
all the geese In this country are ralaed
In amall flocks on general farms, some
men making a specialty of collecting
large numbers of geese and fatten
ing them for a few weeks before they
are killed. As grasa makes up the
bulk of feed for geese, It Is doubt
ful whether It pays to raise them un
ices good grass range Is available dur
ing the summer. A pool of water for
bathing and recreational purposes la
alao a dealrable feature.
The market for geese la not so gen
eral aa for cblckena. Thla point should
be considered In undertaking the rala
lng of geeae. The demand and the
price paid for geese are usually good
In aectlona where goose fattening la
conducted on a large scale.
Qeese are hardy birds and need shel
ter only In the worst weather. An
empty shed or an old barn usually la
aatlsfactory for this purpose. From
4 to 26 geese may be kept on an acre
of land, although under most condi
tions ten la a fair average. Wherever
poealble the geese should have free

range during the grass season. South
ern plantation owners keep geese to
kill the weeds In the cotton fields.
The eggs may be hatched by either
ben* or geese. Rome breeders prefer
to raise all the goslings under hens,
ae geese sometimes become difficult to
manage when allowed to hatch and
rear their young. The period of In
cubation of goose eggs varies from 28
to 80 days.
Oosllngs do not need food until
they are twenty-four to tlilrty-s)x
hours old, when they should be fed

chickens or goslings, or a mash or
dough of two-thirds shorts (middling*)
and one-third cornmeal, which csn
be made of equal parts shorts and
cornmeal. with/B per cent of beef
•crap added after the goslings are
six weeks old. Bread nnd milk make
an excellent feed for young gosling*.
Fine grit or sharp sand should also
be available in cold weather.
Moat geese breeders do not confine
their geeae for fattening, but feed
them freely a few weeks on a fattening
ration before they are to be marketed.
The geeae may be confined for two or
three weeka and fattened, but some
green feed or vegetable* should be
aided to the ration.
