NEW WAY TO KEEP WARM.
Enlist in the Navy When There's a
Drop in Temperature.
There were eighteen applicants yesterday for enlistment in the navy, the largest number ever received by the local recruiting station in any one day. No other explanation is offered than that when there is scarcity of work and the weather is cold, young men are more apt to enlist.
During the year 1908, a total of 1,787 applications were received at the local recruiting station. Of these, 1,647 took the physical examination, 463 were accepted, and 454 enlisted.
