In some misinformed quarters it is rved that fiight is considered as ssessing no sreater peril than cer- n other activities. emphatic issue is ta with this statement when it comes 1o claiming similar recognition for other groups where hazards exisi On the 1 s are av compiled, which atio of deaths among flying offi. as the result of flying accidents, upared 1o accidents to all other offi- cer personnel on other than aviation averages 50 to 1 for the past sther words, the Tying 'y are subject to 5 times the as compared to offi- cers on other than aviation duty. It must not be construed, however, that » naval alrmen take the position | their duty calls exclusively for tional pay. and they gladly con- cede that na personnel engaged in other activities of the Army and Navy should receive extra compensation where it is considered that the risks involved justify it. 1t has been charged that certain officers draw flight pay under condi- tions that require comparatively it | z sevice in the air. Tn this con- | is pointed out that these . are engaged in {raportant administrative functions, ng that is done makes them meve familiar with their work, will be entitled to the estra pay by virtue of a long service in aviation. It is insisted that all of this criti- cism of flight compensation can be remedied Dy executive adjustment. Alteration has been made of the flight compensation schedule to comply with the exacting demands of the general accounting office, with,a resuiting re- duction to the minimum of contro- versies over pay and allowances, with the lone exception, possibly, of the reimbursement for travel by air. If flight efficiency is to be maintained, the flyers assert, there must be strict adherence to the existing qualifica- tions and compensations without the continued threat of sudden and drastic changes, Capf. Evan W. Scott, chief of the Chaplain’s Division, Navy Department, ill be relieved, effective June 1, by Capt. Curtls 1. Dickins, who has been on duty at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Capt. Scott will be as- signed to other duty. Capt. James D. MacNair, who has been on duty at the Philadelphia Naval Hospital, will relieve Capt. Dickins. Orders have n issued to Capt. Homer R. Stan- rd, who has been on duty in the Bureau of Yards and Docks, Navy Department, authorizing him to pro- ceed to the Philippines on temporary duty to make an investigation and report with reference to the projected | transfer of the Dewey dry dock from Olongapo to Cavite. Lieut. Edwin D. Miller, who is on duty in Guam, will be relleved by Lieut. Willlam O. Hiltabidle, who is on duty in the Bu- reau of Yards and Docks. The latter will proceed to his new station via August transport from San Franc AROUND N ancient man and his possible grandson were passing the marble annex across from the 4 Treasury, when the old man came to a sudden halt, “Another surprise for you, sir. You are going to find new sights right raights along——" New! Why, boy, this used to be my stamping ground 30 years ago—I had an of- fice here in the days before they tore down the old | Freedman’s Rank —why they ever did it ju: half acre ground remain an unsightly dump f{s tell you, but, how, it was a di grace to the ci at, last it teveled and sowed with grass and named Brews- ter Park, in honor of President Ar- s Attorney General, just before I went West, He was the most learn- ed man, possessed the most judicial mind, and was the most elegant fig- ure of that or v other administra. tion, %o far as my memory serves me. Before that, this bit of land belonged to Henry Clay, who sold it for a Span- ish donkey hich must have been foolish trade, even in those days. “[’nless Henry wanted the jack llke King Richard wanted a horse.” ““That's so—property wasn't rating | high in the old days, seeing that L only a rundow favette Park was 1 reckon the egraveyard, Come on, will let us go in." And the old gentleman and his very much younger companion started for the entrance to the annex. But at the steps the old man paused again: building on the corner?> I used to play marbles on the stone steps odd years ago.” And the possible grandson pointed to the imposing stone building, and explained. “What was the use? That was a mighty fine old bank—this generation is simply rulning Washington for old- timers like me—I don't like it, sir. T den't lfke it.” And it Is most likely that the other | old-timers would agree with him. HERE is a many cherry blossor ative atmosphere for squatty idols, gorgeously flowered kimonos draped around like banners, tea sets shop where serve !scrolled with gold and scarlet drag- ons, lacquer trays and smoking sets and jewel boxes and every sort of oddment from the Far East, spread on shelves that began at the entrance and receded into the long and na row near-twilight of a. shop that calls itself a bazaa And punk sticks. A woman customer—with man at- tached—had heen canght by the glam- ourous, lure of a vase: a simple thing in yellow coiled around by a purple snake gobbling a blue frog with pink hindlegs. But when she asked her companion if it wasn't perfectly dear he showed himself so lacking in the true spirit of Mongolian art as to admit soulessly that it was dear—at any price. “But look what marvelous detail, dearest. And painted by hane Dearest broke out in a rash brag that he could paint better with his feet. The woman shrugged her contempt but a tan being, hovering in the near- background, folded “his small hands over his maroon satin sleeves with the. serenity of one who knows a pocketbook even before he can see it. “Don’t try to be funny dear. espe- cially as you know I am trying to get you something really artistic for the car.” “Ilold on. T'm a patient man, and it you want flowers stuck in the auto, all right, but I simply won't stand for a nightmare like that—to have folks wondering if we are riding to the lunatic asylum. “Do shut up. What is the price of this vase, Mr. Sun?” The tan being glided into the fore- ground and in a low, sweet, dreamy volce mentioned a sum that made the man gasp. An ancestor had made that vase. “Did he die of it?" The woman laid a coaxing hand— white kid— on the man's arm, and in the wheedling way that all imposed- on husbands know about, gained her point, as all wives have forever done and everlastingly will., “There, Georgle Porgie, be a good boy'and give momma a nice yellow | vil. And Georgie Porgie, with a last defl at so hideous a survival of ancestral jimjams, shelled out in obedience to orders, and when they left the shop he was carrying in his arms a bundle that meant a yellow vase coiled around by a purple snake gobbling a blue frog with pink hind legs.

Wirgman, who has been ordered to Port au Prince for duty on the staff of the American high commissioner. Maj. Torrey's duties at headquarters will be taken over by Maj. Calvin 1. Matthews, who has been on duty at Port au Prince. Effective June 1, Maj. John Potts, who has been on duty at Quan- tico, Va., will proceed to this city, where on arrival he will be detailed as an assistant quartermaster at Ma rine Corps headquarters. Capt. I'ran- cfs (% Cushing, who has also been on duty at Quantico, has been detailed as an assistant quartermaster. During the absence of Capt. Walter R. Gherardi. who is taking the avia- tion course at Pensacola, Comdr. Paul H. Bastedo has been designated by Secretary Wilbur as his alde. Comdr. Bastedo assumed hi€ new duties last Friday upon the detachment of Capt. Wat T.

You know you got no call to ring that bell when the car ain't moving--and, let | me tell you somethin’-—" The car started ahead, but the wom- an kept on talking until a big, humor- ous-looking man poked a bundle at her: “Here's a parcel you dropped, maam. If I was you I wouldn't bother any more about that chap—and that other lady looks as if she wants you to come along A spry woman, who was passing with a basket of mighty fine market- ing. also paused to volunteer advice: “He's right.

And they were having a merry time when a new neighbor—a nice. | hard-working and gentle-voiced man —came up to her and, with an apolo- | getic_lifting of. hat, made a grave| complaint: 1 “I am sorry, ma'am, but vou will have to make your children stop| mistreating my little girl. They caught her last evening and put soap in_her mouth, and it made her sick.” | The teacher, without enlightening { the stranger as to her maternal ob- | ligations, turned'to the children with a surprised indignation that took them all in. “Is it possible, children, that you could have done so cruel and stupid a thing? 1 am so disappointed in you. !

We just aid it for fun—but—I won't ever do it any more,” B The teacher got a promise from leach and made all apologize to the man. Then he went away, leaving her and her dozen small friends to tulk the matter over at her door. And when the assembly was ended, the teacher knew that she had raised her .little flock one step above foolish Lcruelty. And every udvance means progrese, And the new neighbor, in telling of the success of his conference, said to 1 ner: hat lady has a most unusually large family.” And he might have mentioned, as another peculiarity, that all of them seemed to be about the same age. e !
