He says that armories and drill halls are Insufficient for the storajee and preservation of Fodr-.al property, that rides In many instances are rusted and pitted and that insufficient cleaning facilities are provided, which his report says, shows that some company commanders do not exercise proper super-

vision.

For these deficiencies General Sadler has some very definite suggestion*. .-»»c He proposes a revision of the State " * military code to conform to the Federal militia law. the establishment of educational qualification* for applicants for commissions, the formation of a Bute military athletic league, the organization of an additional battery of field artillery and extension of the schools and camps of Instruction and

T lry of Cornwall, a favored haunt of peaca and quietness, yet where some of the most important English naval stations are now busy, la described for the National Geographic society by Florence Craig Albrecht. At points along this coart. England bolds concentrated great battle fleets. Here, west of Lands End. are tbe Scilly islands, and. beyond Cornwall, further up tbe channel. Ilea Plymouth, military harbor and great naval base. Tbe charm of this old fashioned, picturesque land of fisher folk and peasants Is told by Mrs Albrecht, who explored Us coast before war clouds recalled a martial aUr to Cornwall, for the society la the

following bulletin:

"Here are rock and headland and cliff, now green, now golden with gorse. now bare and rugged: Inlet bay and harbor, with here and there an Isolated house, a tiny village, a pretentious town, a great port. An an friendly coast? Yea. with haavy seas and winds, with thick sea-fogs—a don gcrous one; rocks ever ready to tear holes In the stoutest vessel, currents ever ready to drive them on. But a picturesque coast; a wonderfully beautiful coast, both upon summer days and In winter storms; a coast with many harbors, none too easy of en trance by reason of rocks and tides, and many impossible for any but the

smallest craft.”

All Havs Splendid Memories. There are splendid memories remaining to all of tbesa porta, tbe writer too many fleets have sailed up and down the channel tlnce history began not to have visited all places with the task of making history Pishing fleets have kept the foreground of the picture through latter years, but algos of war preparation have never been absent from Cornwall's waters and huge squadrons of grim, gray men-of-war bare regularly tome and gone and gathered there.

ports of the land, which of boats to the crusades, to the siege of Calais, to the plundering of Normandy. a one-time warlike cUy whose glory baa long since faded. Fowey sent more than twoacore meo-of war to Calais—770 men. How pitifully small are the figures today, when one modern battleship requires a larger crew than did that fleet 450 years ago. Not fifty ships of modern type could find place In Fowey harbor today, but for smaller craft—submarine destroyer*—It affords admirable shelter. Polperro la Picturesque. To the eastward of Fowey la Polperro. the most picturesque, the moat unspoiled of Cornish fishing ports, retaining all iu ancient dignity of life and labor unfluttered by summer villas now beginning to crowd the cliffs above Its bead. Polperro's chief catch la mackerel, crabs and conger. There are few. if any, conger-eel in American waters; they are to some people a most unpleasant-looking flab. Cornwall esteems them highly and makes them Into pie with much cream and poraley. Cornwall. Mr*. Albrecht explains, makes any number of things Into pie and calls the product Invariably 'squab pie." though all things but aquabs are among the materials. "Squab pie" gave rise to tbe following Cornish atory repeated by the writer: "Tbe devil came one day to the banka of the Tamar, the rippling river that divides Devon and Cornwall, and looked over at the rocky land beyond. His majesty considered the swift curand shook bis head. 'No!' be said finally 'No, that's no place for Everyone who goes there la turned Into a aalnt and everything else Into aquab pie. I'm fit for neither one nor the other.' And he stayed In

Devon.”

Just beyond the Cornwall boundary la Plymouth of Mayflower memory. a city which has never allowed her growing commerce to Interfere with her position aa a fortress of the first class and a naval arsenal. Portsmouth. considerably further east upon this coast. Is also a strong fortress and an Important garrison town, and Its great dockyards and repairing docks are likely over busied now In

that U

pastime with many citizens, and the benevolent old gentleman has s many requests for aid, ranging from weird to pathetic. It remained, however, for an Oklahoma fanner's wife to put over the last word of trust In nalioasl benevolence. Not long ago newspapers and press aaaodationa spread to the world word that the treasury department V -» - vmr.in had received a $10,000 contribution to the "conscience" fund, the largest on record. A few daya later Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo received a letter from the Oklahoma fanner's wife asking that she be given *1,000 of this fund. She explained that with this share she could purchase two cows, a much-needed set of false teeth, and one automobile. She confided that she needed the money a great deal more than Unde Sam does and expressed the earnest conviction that It could not be put to better use than where It Is needed on the farm. Therefore she asked that the thousand be aent by return mall. Secretary McAdoo bas received several letters suggesting useful purposes to which the conscience fund might be applied, but none so confidingly trustful as this one.

Government May Move to Conserve the Lobster A LARMED at the decrease In the source of supply of lobsters that has followed Increasing demand for this sea food, and the conwuurnl rxrrlfwa

say exploitation, leaders among tl

methods or fishermen bent only c engaged In the lobatar industry In the United States have recently informed the bureau of fisheries of the commerce department that one of the chief hopes | of tbe Industry's future lies In the bureau's bands. These representative* of the lobster Industry have at the same ( time begun a campaign for adequate appropriations by congress to enable the bureau to carry on special work to-

ward lobster conservation. Because oysters have been so well

Known aa a sea food, there has already been placed on the atatute books of the nation and the rtataa legislation that proves a great protection to the Industry, but there bas been little legislation of this character to protect lobsters If tbe lobetrr men have their way the two Industries will be placed on much the same legislative footing. Some of the principal steps that need to be taken for tbe protection of the lobster industry, tn tbe opinion of IU leaders, are the granting of greater appropriations by congress to tbe bureau of fisheries and the provision for stole regulation of methods of capture and possession and federal regulation of Interstate shipments. In order that the Industry may be built up on a proper basis, the lobster men say. there should be regulation of fishing praeUcea to bring abont greater annual natural production of lobster eggs the rearing of an Increased number of young from tbe eggs and protection of adults above and below market size. Soluble place* should be set aside 11 la also suggested, for breeding purpose*, and the fishing lu such areas should be strictly regulated. The spokesmen for lobster protection also anvocaU the licensing of all lobster fishermen, the enforcement of * pacific rules tor measuring Uie crustaceans and the enactment of legislation prearribtng sanitary methods of handling and shipping lobster meat. Unless steps toward lobster conservation are token quickly, dealers in this sea food aav th. industry will be Irreparably Injured. r ‘ “*
