i RIS O RN e i ARMY ENVIES NAVY FOR 115 BUTTONS Men Are Tired of Wearing Vork- ing Clothes Continually Washington, Feb. 27.—The army | e tired of always wearing its work- g clothes. Its officers and men want to get out of the drab fleld uniform and into the blue when called out to parade on formal occasions, or to participate in soclal events, The desire for a change is sharply edged by the fact that officers and men of the army tfeel that they suffer by contrast to their brothers in the navy aAd marine corps. In parades and soclal gatherings where the three services are represented, the navy and marine corps person- nel appear in blue uniforms with gold trimmings, while the army must remaln in drab. This situation is discussed in a pointed manner by the offictal publi- cation of the United States Infantry assoclation just issued. The editor declares the agitation for restoration ! of the pre-war blue uniforms will be continued until existing regulations are modified to authorize the desired change in dress. The army has b::n in its workday clothes since 1917, “When the secretary of war stated recently that he was positively | ashamed of the appearance of the uniforms of the units of the army which participated in the funeral ceremonies for the late President Harding,” the publication says, “he voiced the opinion of the flicers and men who were wearing that uniform.” \\'ind_ows in Minster Get Flrsfi Wash in 600 Years | Th e are Minister of not been washed in more than years, it was an- nounced recently by the Dean of York in making an appeal for a lo- cal fund for the preservation of these antiques h are still in ac- tive service is no collection of English glass" in the world ap- proaching that at York Minister, #aid the dean, and if the public al- lowed these windows‘to disappear their like would never be seen again. Some of the windows which have been in place for six centuries were being cleaned for the first time, the dean asserted, and it had been found that the belief that washing might destroy the mellowing effect of time | on the glass was without foundation. | King of Iraq Decides Half Pay Will Suffice | Bagdad, Feb. 27.—Fing Felsul of | Iraq is trying to teach his suh)ecui to practice self-denial, and in order to cut state expenses, has offered to forego half the monthly allowance | to which he is entitled under the civil list. He has taken this step on learning the true condition of the Iraq treasury, which suffers from a serious deflcit. One Arable newspaper, while thanking Felsul for this acknowl- edgment of the country’'s financial dificulties, suggests that leading of- | ficials might copy the king's excel- | lent example., Wh uch a course ‘ is hardly probable, there can h»‘ no doubt that further cuts will have | to be made in the expenditure of the government on salaries and al- | lowances. | DOCTOR'S OWN LAND WAS ' LAST 70 KNOW HIS FAME Sir James Mackenzie Was Honored Here Long Before England Recognized Him Glasgow, Feb. 27.—The fame of Sir James Mackenzie, heart speclal- ist, who died recently, had spread to the United States, and to other parts of the world, long before he § became a figure in the medical world of Great Britain. In connec. tion with his passing the story is told of the visit of Dr. Simon Flex- ner, director of the Rockefeller Laboratories for Medical Research. | who ca to London in 1911 and was entertained at the London hos- pital. At a distinguished assem- blage of surgeons and physiclans, exner inquired why James § kenzie was not there, “Mackenzie?" every one queried. and the answer all around was “Why, we have never heard of a doctor by that name who has ac- complished anything of note.” § “Well,” Dr. Flexner replied, § “Mackenzie Is mighty well known in America, and so are all his worke on the heart."” London then sat up and took notice, Not long afterward Dr. Mackenzie had become the chief consulting physiclan for heart diseases at London hospital! and a special department was created for him so that he could carry on his work. IMMORAL CHURCH MUSIC York, Eng., Feb, 27.—A great dea! of church and chapel music is “be- neath contempt and even immoral,” and “appeals to all that is low." Canon Bell, precentor of Yorl Minister, declared in an address on religlon and music. R E - “I believe God,” he added, “does not want people to be so conceited $ | as to think that they sing when they | cannot. I believe we can play golf M| or criket to the glory of God, but § I do not beleve it is any good trying [@ to sing a song to the glory of God when we cannot sing at all.” N Renowned Steamer LAPLAND (18,595 tons) March 7 and up accord. 245 ing to ports.
