“My wife tells me every afternoon to look over
the ads in the Times-Recorder, and almost invari
ably 1 find a reminder that induces me to purchase
some articles really needed,” says a Times-Record
er reader to the merchant who never advertises.
“The Times-Recorder is the medium which
my family consults. As I never see your ad in
that paper I do not know what you have for sale.
I patronize the Times-Recorder advertisers because
I know what I want, and I find they advertise it.
Besides, the things advertised are good—because
these merchants have something which they are
glad to show anybody.”

SHE WAS A MAN ANO
WANTED TO JOIN ARMY
TOKIO, July 27. —The army con
scription examiners in session at a
town in the interior were astounded
Recently when a young Japanese wo
man dressed fashionably and carry
inga parasol walked into the office
and requested examination for mili
tary service. When the applicant ex
plained that “she” was a man and
not a woman the examiners recalled
ar. old Japanese custom of concealing
sex, a custom which, as it afterward
appeared, the applicant was follow
ing.
Old-time traditions held that a
physically weak boy should be
brought up as a girl from the belief
that the child would thus escape the
curse of death. The boy was attired
in female costume and his hair was
allowed to grow long like a girl's.
Yasukichl, the son of King Mishi
kawa, the array applicant, was
brough up under this tradition which
is followed now only in remote dis
tricts. He learned to sew and to
cook. He entered a cotton mill at
Osaka and worked as a female opera
tive. No one suspected his real sex.
The examiners found the young
man of perfect physique and health
| and he has entered the army in man's
clothes.

BELCHER WHITES ON
ELECTRICAL CLASS
The editor has received the following
communication from B. Belcher, an
Americus boy in the United States
Navy, which is interesting and instruc
tive. It is on the electrical class at the
New York yard:
I have heard a lot of talk that a
sailor’s life was about as rough a life
as could be led. But I find that it is
like I believed, that it is untrue. There
are two sides to every question. The
majority of the boys in the Electrical
school here are High school graduates
or have attended colleges several years.
There are some boys here that have
been through the Training Station for
Seamen or have been in the service
possibly several years. Most of them
however start navy life here in the
school.
The school hours are about seven a
day. Every thing that you study is
before you. You can run the motors,
dynamor, steam engines and turbines
and see how they all work. In this
way it is easier to learn more about
them. There is also a large machine
shop in the school.
During the practical weeks of the
course you repair and rewire motors,
build switchboards or do any repair
work around the school.
After the school hours the class is
drilled for an hour each evening and
on Saturday about three hours. The
class has its own band. We have sev
eral drummers and a number of bugl
ers. The class is now quartered in the
Marine Barracks. It is of great advant
aeg to be here instead of on a ship as
we were a few weeks ago. There is
more room and it is more like a home
than on a ship. Besides there are no
“decks” to scrub in the mornings.
We have Divine services three times
a week. On Tuesday and Friday nights
services are held by someone in the
city while the services bn Sunday
morning are held by the chaplain of
the navy. Usually there are.several
ladies to sing ofr us on Sunday morn
ings/
There is also a large library at the
Barracks that is open to the sailors.
Besides the books to read there are a
number of good magazines and the
daily papers as well. There is also a
Victrola in the library, but dancing is
strictly prohibited.
We have liberty every other night
and on Sundays. During this time
one has a chance to see the city as
well as the surrounding country.
