DIVIDES UP THE WORK ATU.S. NAVAL ACADEMY Admiral Wilson, Superintendent, Gives All of First Class Chance to Handle Men. ANNAPOLIS, August 20 (Special).— In order that the members of the first class of the Naval Academy shall have as much practice as possible in the handling of men, which Admiral Henry B. Wilson, superintendgnt. im- presses upon them as “the funda- mental qualification of a successful: the same midshipmen ; naval ‘officer.” ‘will nog serve as officers and petty of- cers throughout the coming academic Yyear, but there will be four different sets, each acting approximately two months. First Quota on Usual Basls. ‘The first quota will be selected on the usual basis, that of efficiency, character and officerlike qualiti and will assume their duties on Octo- | ber 1, when the new school year be- gins.” On the 1st of December they ‘will be completely changed. the mid- shipman commander, lieutenant com- manders and other officers selected from petty officers and other midshipmen who have shown particu- lar efficiency .for the positions. There will be another change, ar- ranged in the same way, on Febru- ary 1, and on April 1 the final selec- tion will be made. Those who make up the final roster of midshipmen of- ficers and petty officers will be the ones who have actually demonstrated their special fitness for these posi- tions. They will be the only ones who ‘will wear special stripes on their arms indicative of their positions in the regiment, the period including *“June week.” the graduation season at the academy. Special Marks in Final Two Monthx. Except for the final two maonths, there will be no special mark of rank, all midshipmen of the first class wear- | F. ing only the single stripe near the cuff of their blouse or coat. Also, there will be distinction in the liberty and other privileges given to the midshipmen officers, petty officers and other midshipmen of the first class, it being the intention of Admiral Wil- son to emphasize the fact that all members of the class occupy a status just below that of orficers, and to give to each member all possible practice in the exercise of command and lead- ership.

From the Miami Herald. “Dyspeptics are funny people.” said Dr. Ellery C. Chamberlain. Chicago dietitian. ‘““Dyspeptics.” he went on, “are all alike. I heard a typical dyspeptic giving an order in a Loop restaurant after the opera the other night. The man is a millionaire, and he said: “Oh, dear, dear. when I was young I-could- eat anything and pay.for nothing, but now that I am able to pay for anything I can eat nothing. Bring me, waiter, a broiled lobster, a Welsh rarebit, a plece of cherry. pie with Roquefort cheese and a plate of banana ice cream to top off with.” Every housekeeper can use these U. S.

AMERICAN RELIEF WORK IN AUSTRIA DECLINES Peak Reached in June—Austrians Grateful for Saving of Com- ing Generation. Children’s relief operations of the American Relief Administration reached the peak in Austria on June| 19, when rations were issued to 379,- 773 Austrian children. On July 1 the | organization of which Herbert Hoover | is the head issued 377,253 rations. The relief administration has been able to save from starvation approxi- {mately 3,500,000 children in the war- istricken _countries of central and | eastern Europe, it was announced | last night. Poland, Hungary, Czecho- slovakia and the Baltic territories have all benefited. On the occasion of the signing of the - peace resolution by President Harding, Dr. Josef Resch, former Aus- trian minister of social welfare, said: “The peace established with America justifies a reference to the great wel- fare work which the Americans have ! initiated and carried on in this coun- try. A month ago saw the second anniversary of the work of the i American Relief Administration and it was able to survey with proud satisfaction its gigantic success. Its great significance lies in the fact that a growing generation is being saved from a lingering death and given back to'health and strength. Austria owes an everlasting debt of gratitude | to the Americans for the relief work started by Mr. Hoover at the period of her worst distress.” Atting OF Easy. From Life.
