Recruiting officers of the Army have been instructed in special orders to use their best efforts toward “the re-enlistment of the greatest possible | number of men who are to be dis. charged during the current year, and they are reminded that “a care- fully planned system of recruiting in each command should secure a ma terial increase in the number of re- enlistment Tt is stated that no man qualified for re-enlistment who is dischargzed should be permitted to leave hi: station until he has been interview personally by his is company com- mander with a view of having him | re-enlist in his former organization and. if he does not choose to do 0, That he be fally advised of opportu- nities for enlistment in other organ zations. “Such re-enlistments are of the ut- most value to the service,” the circu- lar savs, “and their number indicates in no uncertain manner, the general morale and contentment of an organi- zation.” BRITISH TRADE BOOSTED.

FREES SUSPECT The mere matter of one numeral saved Daugherty Stewart of 516 Groff court the necessity of standing trial in the United States branch of Police Court vesterday on a charge of possess- ing_intoxicants unlawfully. hoever made out the warrant au- tiorizing revenue agents to search Stew- 's premises described ris home as 515 Groff court, instead of 516. That made no difference to the agents so they searched the right premises. But it made a lot of difference to the court, which held that evidence discov- ered in Stewart's home could not be presented against him as is was lllegaily obtained. Another charge against Stewart, that of selling intoxicants, failed when the jury disagreed over it and was dis- charged. A second trial will be heid Jater. £ Offutt, | for | 23 | II The Happy Lad | My car is made of zinc, my car is painted pink; but I'm as gay when on my way, as any wealthy gink.

AROUND THE TOWN { JOLLOWING a motor trip with friends to Maine, a popular Wash- ington woman was ensconsced for the summer on a beautiful island off the coast, way down east. BEverything there is kept primitive and vural. The house is more than a ceatury old, the rooms having quaint, low ceilings. On_the arrival of the party from Washington it was necessary to use the parlor for a guest chamber. Then the question arose, how to provide & necessary bed and what to do with an anclent square piano, long an en- cumbrance. For sentimental reasons it was not desired to move the in- strument out doors, exposed to the weather. The hostess merely turned the piano upside down. It having straight, fluted mahogany legs, lent itself ad- mirably to conversion into a four- poster bed. A canopy was made, a chintz _curtain provided, springs placed in position, and, when an oid hand-woven, intricate-pattern bed- | pread was added the result was a wonderful and antigpe “four poster.” The members of the party are bid- ding against each other in an effort | to attain ownership of the prize.
