Orin G. Murfin, Comdr. Leigh Noyes and Lieut. Comdr. Wadleigh Capehart on January 7, 1930, on the retirement of Rear Admiral John H. Dayton, upon his own application on January @, 1930. On the retirement of Rear Adm Philip Andrews for l{;. Capt. Walton R. Sexton, Comdr. Wil- llam A. Glassford, jr., and Lieut. Comdr. Hugh M. Branham will become due for romotion on March 31. Capt. Willlam . Leahy, Comdr. Conant Taylor and Lieut. Comdr. Edwin Gillam will be- come due for promotion on April 6 on the retirement of Rear Admiral Andrew T. Long for age. Lieut. Comdr. Lyal H. Davidson will go up for promotion on January 19, 1930, while Comdr, Wil- liam A. Hall and Lieut. Comdr Frank H. Luckel will become due for promo- tion on May “10 on the retirement of Rear Admiral Richard H. Jackson, who will be transferred to the retired list of the Navy for age. With the elevation of Capt. Leahy on April 6, 1930, the last list of selectees for the grade of rear admiral becomes exhausted, leaving the vacancy in that grade resulting from the retirement of Rear Admiral Jack- son to be filled upon recommendation of the selection board that will meet next June. The junior line officers of the Navy that will be assigned upon their own plications to aviation instruction, be- ning January 30 at the Naval Air Station at Pensacola, Fla., are now be- ing selected by the Bureau of Naviga- tion. Approximately 51 officers will be assigned to this course of instruction. Boards to select officers of the Navy for assignment to post-graduate courses of instruction in classes to be assembled in 1930 were convened at the Navy De- partment last Monday. These courses will include instruction in aeronautical engineering, aerology, civil engineering, communication engineering, compass and navigational instrument design, Diesel engineering, electrical engineer- ing, gas engineering, general line, law, mechanical engineering, naval construc- tion and ordnance. The course of instruction in gas en- gineering is added to those previously established at the post-graduate school. The purpose of ‘the new course is to af ford instruction in gas engineering to a limited number of officers in order that they may be available to assist in han- dling naval problems in the field. A few of these problems are the use of helium gas in airships and questions in- cident thereto, transportation, storage, and repurification hellum gas, use of fuel gas in airships, refrigeration, synthetic fuels and fractionation of hy- drocarbons, heat insulation and con- ductivity, recovery of water from ex- haust gases and certain phases of gas applications to naval vessels that do not fall under the general heading of chem- ical warfare. The duration of the course will be two years, and it is the present intention to order two officers to the course in 1930, two additional in 1931, and not to order additional offi- cers to the course thereafter. The boards will consider applicants for naval construction and civil en- gineering from graduates of the Naval Acedemy that will have had at least two years of commissioned se: on July 1, 1930. For the general line course and course of law, only those that nor- mally are eligible for assignment to shore: duty are eligible for selection. In other subjects, only those applicants that will have completed five or more years of commissioned service on July 1. 1930, will be considered. It is planned eventually to take for those subjects only those officers who have had six or more years of commissioned service. Army.

HULL ADEPT JEWELRY MAKER Representative’s Wife Has Workshop in Upper Story of Chicago Home. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. Long before the World War, which brought in its wake the practice of many kinds of arts and crafts, taught by instructors of occupational thera- athy, the making of fine jewelry by nd had been mastered and enthusi- astically practiced as an avocation by Mrs. Mortimer Hull, wife of the Ra&r:'- sentative from Chicago. When Hull first started her study of the art many years ago in Chicago, she did so because of her desire to “keep her hands occupied” and her interest in odd and unusual jewelry. A girlhood study of drawing and painting at the Boston Academy was of untold value to her in the designing of her jewelry, which included an ex- tensive assortment of pins, rings, buc~ kles, cuff links, bracelets and other articles of adornment, which have de- lighted the eyes of men and women since the dawn of civilization. Room for Workshop. On the top floor of Mrs. Hull's Chi- ¢ago home, she tells you, she has re- served a room for her workshop. A large bench rests beneath the north window, and it is at this bench that Mrs. Hull has designed, hammered and soldered the lovely pleces of jewelry made as gifts for friends and members of her family. “I first the stud: of hammered metals,” said Mrs. Hull, “and * made numerous copper bowls, vases and other large pieces. But I couldn't bear the noise of the hammer- ing and had decided to give it up when my teacher asked me why I didn't do little pieces, the mal of which did not create so much noise. I did not care for the usual type of arts and crafts jewelry, and I spent about six months visiting various jewelry makers throughout Chicago, studying odd pieces and different methods of making Jewelry."” Mrs. Hull considers her finest piece of work a tiny scarf Jam of gold and opals, which was made as a gift for her husband. The pin, which is de- signed as a butterfly with outspread wings, was exhibited a few years at an exhibition of arts and crafts h‘cfi l'.Athz (ihllclll:’ Art ltnl:.t}mu. isskicn useful and pract app] of her knowledge is made by Mrs. Hull in remodeling or repairing her ow"m- ry. Calling attention to an Ori= ental necklace which she wore, she re- marked that the plece had been much too long when she first acquired it, so, taking her tools, she cut it down an fitted the clasp to the length which was desired. Put to Practical Use. An instance was cited wherein Mrs. Hull's accomplishment had been put to nflrl use for the pleasure of her “One of my son's friends was to be married,” she related, “and he asked me if I would design a wedding for his bride and for himself. So obtained a piece of metal thick and wide enough to cut out the two rings as one would a doughnut, without hav- ing to joint the ends. The boy seemed quite pleased with the idea, and the bride was 5o much so that I think she was secretly a little worried that the rings were going to be terrible things, and consequently was delighted to see that they looked quite the same as other wedding rings.” While traveling abroad Mrs. Hull made many visits to metal, antique and Jewelry shops throughout d and Scotland, where she picked up pieces of silver and gold chain used her in her “jewelry shop” at home, in Edinburgh she states that she tramp- ed up many flights of dtnq steps in & ch ," or “Scotch peb- bles,” the clear little pebbles found in Beofl:lnd‘ ‘whlch .h:hwm later in the making of some bug Scotch friend. A e Semi-Worthless Varieties.

LONDON (N.AN.A).—Queen Maud of Norway is in England again, and re- cently spent her sixtieth birthday at Appleton Hall, the country home near Sandringham, of which she is so fond. Queen Maud always considers that she is on holiday when she visits Eng- land, so she accepts few formal invita- tions, preferring to drop in unexpect- edly upon hostesses who knew and en- tertained her years ago. She has done a good deal of Christ- mas shopping during her present visit, and also has been buying new clothes. Queen Maud has a dignified style of dressing, and she was amused recently when she discovered that her favorite draped skirts and circular capes had be- come the latest fashion. Among the new gowns she has chosen is one of fine lace in ceiling wax red and another of black moire velvet with a coatee. A third dress of black satin has been especially selected to set off the antique turquoise necklace her :nt):lgr King George, gave her for her rthday. Queen Maud, who combines & cer- tain unconventionality with great charm of manner, is very human and ap- pose. the State chairman, Mrs, E. J.
