Falling Out of Bed Favorite Pastime of Great Lakes Rookies

Falling out of 'bed'' is a favorite pastime at the Great' Lakes Naval Training station where hundreds of to-be sailors are in training, says Leroy Cofi'in. a Richmond boy, in a letter to Wilbur Miller, 13 North Ninth street. Coffin, who is studying to be a wireleas telegrapli operator, says the rookies are having a hard time getting "acquainted" to their new bedcanvass hammocks. "You have to stretch them as tight as possible and they roll up like a cigar," he writes. "Then you crawl up one the jack-stay at one end and slip

down into them, feet first like going into a big pipe." "They are mighty treacherous things to sleep in, and if one rolls the least bit to either side, out he goes, probably on your eyebrow. Many fellows fall out every night and there is a string lined up at the hospital every morning to get their wounds doctored." The men had "some dinner" Thanksgiving day he says. A big slice of turkey, cranberries, dressing, potatoes, bread and butter and a variety of fruit, cakes and pumpkin pie was served. "The Red Cross has treated us fine," he continues. "Every man was given a sweater, a muffler and wristlets."

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, national president has sounded the battle cry:

"Let ever woman und,er the Stars and Stripes vote for the president In 1920." The social features usually attendant upon the national convention have been done away with in the making of this year's program and the only function which will be at all elaborate will be a reception in the New Willard hotel given" by eight ladies of the president's cabinet to Dr. Anna Howard Sliaw and Mrs. Catt. Besides Mrs. Catt these women will take a prominent part in the conven

tion: Mrs. Norman DeR, TvTiitehouse, chairman of the New York State Suffrage party, recently victorious at the polls; Mrs. William G. McAdoo, head of the honorary council of the association; Mrs. Guilford Dudley, state president from Tennessee; Mrs. Helen Gardener of Washington, and Mrs. ewton D.

APPEAL OF DRYS

To All Good Citizens In Indiana: On next Monday, December 17, the house of representatives at Washington, will vote on whether a national Constitution amendment prohibiting the manufacturing and sale of intoxicating liquors in ell

the states of the Union will be sub- J

mitted to the various states for their action. The senate has already voted favorably on this proposition, and the people now await the action of the Louse. It I3 very essential that the best citizenship of Indianapolis and Indiana express itself in no uncertain manner oa this most important issue. We are reliably informed that within recent days the brewers of New York have sent out a "blue" letter to all the brewers and saloon men In Indiana, calling upon then

to secure thousands of letters and j tclficrams from business men to 1

representatives in congress urgins them to vote against the submission of this amendment. They know full well that if that question ever goes

to the statesfor a vote, more than

thirty-six states will ratify it without a question. j The Church Federation of India-1

napolis and of Indiana would now call upon every church and temperance organization, every Good Citizens' League and all good citizens individually, immediately to send telegrams to the representative la congress from their district calling upon him to vote for the submission of said adenmdent to states. The country is ready for this action and now is the time to let our voices be heard. Do not neglect this responsibility. It is important that these telegrams get to Washington before the end of this week. We may win this fight if we shall all move together. Let us strike while the iron is hot. A. B. STORMS, Pres. Indiana Church Federation. H. K. FOX, Secretary. C. S. DENNY, Pres. Indianapolis Church Federation. M. C. PEARSON, Executive Secretary.
