PAGE SIX . * 471 CHAPTERS | STATE SESSIO LAWS FOR 192 Governor's Action on Three Bills; Six Resolutions Are Included CHEYENNE March 3.—The Wyoming Session Laws, 1921, will consist in all probability of not to ex- €6ed 171 chapters and six resolutions and memorials. The number of reso- lutions and memorials is settled fact, but the number of chapters is not, so there still being three acts of the leg- tslature to which Governor Carey has not given approval and which he may eonsider a wee longer under the 15- days-after-the-session rule. He may, if he so desires, approve 4 make them statutes, or he may veto all three, thereby preventing them from becoming statutes. Should he neither approve nor veto them within the next weel they will become stat- utes automatically. It is probable that not more than one of the three acts still in the, governor's office will receive the executive approval, this being orir; Senate File 36, the so- valled ‘carbon k" act, and that the other two, relating to irrigation districts and taxation of personal property in the state less than one year, will be vetoed. There has been, however, no expression from the ex- ecutive indicating whether he will or will not approve original Senate File 36. Should he approve it, and dis- approve the other two acts referred to, the number of chapters of the session laws will be 171, to date 170 acts having received the gubernatorial approval and been assigned chapter numbers. Acts signed by the governor and not heretofore reported follow, the chapter number stated being the Jwtatement of the chapter of the ses- sion laws the act to which it refers will constitute, the following number preceded by the abbreviation “HE.” be- ing the enrolled number of the act and the number in parenthe: re reded by the abbreviation “H." or “S." being the original house bill or -senate file number of the bill which became the act: Chapter 153—B. 62 (S. 151): Relat- tng to free transportation for the ad- futants or organizations of war vet- trans.

The cémpletion of this sec- tion means that the work of printing the session laws is about two-fifths completed. More than one third of the laws have been printed, but not morethan two-fifths of the valume of the printing completed. AUTOMOBILE SOLD 10 SATISFY REVENUE TAX ON BOOTLEG WHISKEY CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 3.—The first forced sale here to collect inter- nal revenue and penalty for non-pay- internal revenue on “bootleg was held when Internal Revenue Collector Alfred H. Ricker sold at auction for $1,400 a $2,400 automobile owned by Maggie Stowers, colored. There remains of the reve- nue department's claim against the woman approximately $1,000 and other property, including real estate, which has been selzed by the revenue col- lector will be sold to satisfy this. Mrs. Stowers recently was fined $1,000 in| federal court for violation of the pro-| hibition laws, the fine and revenue department's. claims against her to- taling $3,362.91. The automobile “sold today was knocked down to Dr. J. H. Conway, who held a thousand dollar | mortgage on the machine. | pe PPOINTMENT IRMED WASHINGTON, March 3. — The nomination of Brig. Gen.

HASKIN ‘WASHINGTON, March hundred and fifty pretty girls prop- erly chaperoned, are delivered by rail every Saturday at Camp Dix, New Jersey. The soldiers, the girls, and all others concerned hope that these weekly importations can be not only continued but increased. For there are some 10,000 soldiers at Camp Dix, and they bank the gymnasium ten deep when the girls arrive, each seeking. what is so hard for an en- listed man far from home to get— the companiorship of a nice girl. This movement to supply the army with girls is a new thing and it is in a critical stage. The work is being carried on through an army organization known as the Bureau of Women’s Relations, This bureau estables a club, or perhaps sev- eral of them, in each of the camps which are occupied by our standing army. Each club is in charge of a woman whose duty it is to provide the men with entertainment by giv- ing danes and parties. The soldiers may bring their women friends and relations, if they have any, and if not the hostess provides the girls. The work is immensely popular with the men and also with their commanding officers. - Generals Wood, Edwards, and many others have endorsed the work, and even called it indispensable. Their endorsements are needed, because the work cannot go on un- less congress appropriates at least $200,000 for the purpose. It is 1 small amount, but small items ure just the ones that congress likes to prune out of an appropriation bill. Hence the army is conducting a vigorous propaganda to convince congress and the people that this Bureau of Women's Relations, which is now being carried on with left-over war time contributions, ought to be made a permanent part of the army. And their propaganda brings out some interesting facts about our peace time army, and about soldiers and girls. A STUNDENT ARMY The first fact pointed out by Miss Phipps, who is one of the women leading the work, is that our present army ts an army of, boys, who have enlisted for the purpose of getting an education. There are exceptions of course, The veteran “hard-boiled” is still a figure in the army. But the great majority of the enlisted men are boys from 19 to 22 years of age, who have been attracted by the widely advertised educational opportunities which the army is now offering. These in a word, are boys of college age, who could not afford a college edu- cation and have joined the arm: instead. Many of them are young men who want education in mechan ical and engineering lines. Many of them are young immigrants wio want'to learn the language and the was confirmed by the senate in open a RRS AT RE history of their own country. The point _made by the army—as 3.— Two] represented by Miss Phipps—ts that in advertising itself as an educations: al opportunity, and thereby getting,’ the services of a lot of ambitious” young men of the most formative age, the army has assumed a new! and heavy responsibility. Those boys are going to be what the army makes them. And probably no one will deny that the kind of feminine society they enjoy is one import- ant factor in thelr making. ‘The commanding officers, while fully aware of this large, humani- tarian view of the subject, are com- pelled to considet the practical phase of the matter first. They are primarily concerned with the ef- fect of this hostess work on the morals of their commands, and it is from this standpoint that they en- dorse it. Work of this kind both dur- ing the war and since has shown that if soldiers are provided with a normal social life—an: opportunity to associate with girls at dances and other gathering;‘under proper supervision — two great military evils are markedly reduced. These two great evils are verereal dis: ease and absence without leave. The soldier who falls into feminine com- pany of @ sort which endangers his health often does ‘so because it is the only kind of feminine company he can find. And the soldier who wuns away from camp without leave usually does so because he can no longer endure the monotony and unnaturalness of a social life in which a lot of men are herded to- gether without women. SOCIAL LIFE SAVES MONEY The hard-heided practical execu- tives of the army therefore favor hostesses and dances and all that sort of thing because they sav> money in hospital costs and in time lost by men through incapacita- tion and absence. The argument which has been made by som:- objectors that our soldiers shoul 1 not be coddled and that pink’, teas are not necessary for fighting men, seems to them irrelevant. They do not care whether you call it cod- dling or. not, as long as the result is a sign in practical efficiency. At camp Dix,.in addition to estab- lishing a hostess house and import- ing a bevy of girls every Saturda, jes on other days from neighboring towns, the bureau ‘has also arrang- ed a tinique club in Philadelphia for men from Camp Dix who are on leave. In this they have been as- sisted by several women prominent» in Philadelphia society. Mrs. George W. Drexel has taken charge of the work and.Mrs. Hapgood has given a large residence to be the home of the club. This club is capable of taking care of from 60 to 100 men, ‘which js about all the enlisted men that are to be found in Philadelphia “Camp Dix at a given time. 6 men certainly are coddled ig you want to call it that to judgs by all reports quartered inone of the finest residences of the city, they are en to dances, movies and the theaters; they, are introduced to pretty girls, they are, in a word, treated as guests at a house party. One result is that they have a good time and decide that being tn the army its . compensations, even if it is a life of much- re straint. Another result is that they drink no wood alcohol, get into no fights and fall into the clutches of no vampires. On the whole, the idea that a soldier should not be shown a good time seems to fall to the’ ground, Especially when you remember that a soldier of the new American army is a young chap, just up from the country, avid of life and knowl- edge, giving himself for three years to bls soyernment and trusting it for everyting.

If, therefore, Governor Carey should leave for £xcelsior Springs before Secretary of State Chaplin re- turns from Boulder, the executive au- thority would devolve upon the second in legal line of successorship to the gubernatorial authority—the president ad interim of the senate, and Senator Skovgard would be acting governor of Wyoming. That is, Senator Skovgard would become acting governor ac- cording to the generally accepted in- terpretation of the law, of sucession, which perhaps is ambigious in that it provides that the second in succes- sion to the governorship shall be “th? president of the last senate.” Whetl.- ‘er this means, the senator who acted as president during tho last session of the senate, or the senator elected to serve as president of the senate ad interim, has never been officially de- cided. William Daley of Rawlins was president of the senate during the CHEYE; last month of the state of Wyoming's fiscal year began Tuesday.

Tht Troop rendered a unique ser- vice recently. The boys were asked to see if they could take’ the pigeons that had made their homes inthe steepie of the Catholic church, away without injury to the birds. The boys under the direction of the Scoutmaster cap- tured all the birds without injury and several members of the troop are now making pets of them. In order to get thé birds the boys had to ascend the steeple to the belfry and they émployed two afternoons af- ter schoo) hours in the capture of the pigeons. However, they managed to catch the last one yesterday evening. e SN J. W. Day, traveling freight agent for the Missouri Pacific Railroad company, arrived in Casper Wednes- day from his headquarters at Denver. Mr. Day was surprised at the volume which would revert to the general of freight business being done in and out of Casper. HOLMES SAYS TO LOBDELL: Mr. Don Lobdell, City.
