This play, in three acts, shows that a woman may be won back from the primrose path through the love of a good, hon est man. The central character is Madge Davis, a chorus girl, who is rescued from a life of shame by the love of a man who condones her past. The story is said to be told in in cisive style, with a rich vein of com edy running throughout. The char acters are ull drawn distinctively, and each act has a sure punch.

PAYING SERVICE Offers More Opporf unities and Better Facilities That Any Other Branch The United States Navy offers more opportunities to the enlisted man and Rives better pay both for active service and in retirement than any other branch of the armed forces of the government. Starting at tlie very beginning it is possible for a young man by work and study to have continuous and frequent advancement with increase of pay. To his base pay there is al ways extra pay for special duties and with each enlistment his pay is also incresaed. As an instance of this, a young man enlisting in the ; navy receives now the folowing pay: ! Apprentce seamen, $32.60 a month; seamen, • second class. $35.00 a J month, and seamen, ?;;8.40 a month, j From this post he may become a petty officer receiving a present war pay of s4l for third class, $46.50 for second class and $52 for first class. Rising to a chief petty officer, his present war pay is front s6l to SX3. depending on his class of skilled work. The next higher grade is that of warrant officer, which is a life po ! sition, attainable only by promotion i from enlisted grades. The pay of a j warrant officer is $1,500 to $2,400 a i year, depending upon length of serv ice with beneiits of retirement at 6 4 | years of age on three-quarters pay or at any time before 64 for disabil ity incurred in line of duty. The warrant officer's grade ,is composed of boatswains, gunners, carpenters, machinists, sailmakcrs, pharmacists and pay'clerks. Warrant officers have a still higher step in that they are commissioned as chief warrant officers in their va rious grades, with rank of ensign, after six years of service as boat | swain, gunner, carpenter, machinist, l pharmacist or pay clerk. After six I years' service front date of conimis j commission they receive the pay and I alowances of a lieutenant Junior I grade in the navy; and after twelve I years' service iromdate of commis | sion they receive the pay and allow ances of a lieutenant in the navy. The advancement which is open to ambitious young men who enlist in the navy is not limited to the grade of warrant officer. There are several avenues open for promotion to com mission; for example: A boatswain, gunner or machinist, i or a chief boatswain, chief gunner I or chief machinist, who has been in | his grade four years and is under thirty-five years of age, may enter j the examination for appointment as I ensign; this examination is held ev ] ery year, appointments being limited jto twelve annually. A man who wins ' a commission in this manner is en | titled to the same pay. privileges, j honors and opportunities for further j advancement as arc open for officers! j who are graduates of the Naval i Academy. Pay clerks and chief pay clerks; under 35 years of age may take the I examination for appointment as as sistant paymaster in the navy. This examination is usually held each year and is competitive. The law provides for the appoint ment each year of 100 enlisted men to the Naval Academy, the require ments being that the applicant must pass a competitive examination, must be under 20 years of age at the time of appointment, and must have been in the navy at least one year at date of entrance of the Naval Academy. Examinations for entrance to the Naval Academy are conducted on board all ships and stations wher ever there are applicants. In order to give young men a chance to pre pare for this examination, classes arc formed at all the training sta tions (and on hoard ships), with spe cial instructors, and the free use of the necessary text hooks. The can- . dldates who "have the highest stand- i lng on the examination, and have j successfully passed the physical ex amination, enter the Naval Academy on August 15 and are admitted on I exactly the same term as midship men who are nominated by members | of Congress, and, upon graduation, ■ receive commissions in the navy. Retiring l'roni tho service as chief | the regular pay of his class plus his , the reserve force where he re -1! ceives an annual retainer. Should ho be called into active service he is then paid in addition to his retainer, the base pay c the regular navy for active duty a- fon recruiting duty ho will rccc: >2 a day or S6O a month for siu .sicnee. The follow ing schedule will show what a man will receive after retirement into the reserves. After four years of service he will receive $62.50 a year if he goes into the reserve force four months after his discharge. If he waits over that time his retainer will be $5 0. After eight years' service, the re tainer is S9O If after four months of | discharge, and $72 after that. For twelve years' service $125 | y retainer if after four months I of discharge and SIOO after that. Reaching sixteen* years af active' j service, a chief petty officer on going 1 the reserve will receive one { third of the base pay plus all per -1 mn l!f nt addi nons, amounting to S2O : to $25 and averaging a monthly in | come ot $46. If he has served twen ^-Kyears.vl?is amou "t will aggregate $65 monthly. | If called back into the regular ] service this man will then receive the rcguar pay of his class plus his I retainer pay and if on recruiting | duty $2 a day for subsistence, t For instance, a chief petty officer drawing a regular pay of $96 month ly would receive $45 retainer and S6O ; subsistence allowance, makinc a to tal of $202. If this man had retired after twen jey years and was called back, he could draw $65 retainer, $lO5 reg ; ular and S6O subsistence, making a j total of $220. which is more than a j junior lieutenant's pay and nearly equal to that of a full lieutenant or a | captain in the army. —the artistic and harmonidus ele ments which are so necessary to obtain the desired results in wall dec orations are yours with our service.

P.—Those who are in terested in possible new sources of wood-pulp for the paper industry might do well to investigate the balsa tree of this and adjacent countries. The plant is known botanically as Ochroma Lagopus. It grows more rapidly than almost any known tree whose wood is valuable. In four years' time one has grown to be thir ty feet high, shading an area fifty feet square, having a trunk ten inches thick and several big branches between four and six inches in diam eter. Altogether there is at least a cord of solid wood in the tree. An aero could contain seventy-live of these trees. Ralsa has several valuable quali ties. It produces a brown-colored cotton wool in great abundance, com monly used for stuffing pillows and mattresses. As the seeds are very small—not so large as cabbage or mustard seed—they do not have to be removed from the fiber for this purpose, thus giving it an advantage over cotton. This fiber may yet bo found capable of being spun and woven. It has long and strong fibers in the bast of the bark, ordinarily used here to make ropes. This use is so widespread as to have caused some scarcity of the tree in regions adjacent to settlements. The wooil is white, extremely straight-grained and easy to work, and, while soft when green, it seems to harden later. It looks like a fine source of wood-pulp if it could bo obtained in sufficient abundance. Balsa wood is used by nati\/?s here in place of leather on which to sharpen knives and razors because of the fineness and evenness of its grain. The plant would probably grow in Florida and the southernmost parts of the United States. It has immense quantities of fine seed inclosed in the cotton—like fiber of big pods; the wind easily distributes the seed and makes it take up any new clearings very rapidly. Some of the railway dumps along the canal are covered with balsa trees which have sprung {FRANKLIN BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION 30 YEARS OLD. „ 52N0 SERIES STARTING.
