Much interest is being shown among the pupils in connection with the pro- posed play. Daily practices and Tehearsals are now being held. ° “Polished Pebbles,” it is shown, is especially suitable for pupils of junior-high school ages, and the musie has been written in a key fitted to their voices. It is stated that while the story is to be enacted by children, it. will nevertheless afford much pleasure to the adult audience, In addition to the two acts of the operetta, two mixed choruses will be heard. The contrasting costumes to be worn by the boys and girls will lend much to the ef- fectiveness of each chorus. Q.

A.,, (retired), who is visiting in Key West, had the fol- lowing letter published recently in the New York Herald-Tribune: “Cadet and officer fifty years, I desire to comment on the recent. letters in your columns from “Of- ficer” and from “Over Forty-two Years’ Service.” The writers find in present service restrictions and pay reductions a desire on the part of Congress to persecute officers individually, and-to hector and pinch the personnel, to the dam- age of morale. The last-named writer feels that Congress -has shown bad faith in reducing the pay of retired officers; and he be- lieves that when “good times” come there will be wholesale resig- jnations of younger officers, who are deeply thinking. “I believe that in my experi- ence, including the new 15 per- cent cut in all Federal salaries, Congress has been generous to the officers of the services. At pres- ent it is merely a question of the! lack of money to carry on the! jnormal pay schedules. The} younger officers, on whom all; agree that hardships will fall, are indeed thinking deeply, thinking they are glad they are in the serv- ices, and glad they did not resign in the boom days, as some of their! {comrades did. “I believe the general feeling in the services is one of hearty sup- port of the president’s plan: aj desire to share whatever discom-! forts are necessary in order to balance the budget; and a de- termination to make the best of} the situation and see that the morale does not suffer.

SAILING VESSEL IDA M. MOORE ENCOUNTER- ED HEAVY WINDS EN.’ ROUTE TO TORTUGAS (CONTRIBUTED) While other sailing craft were either losing their sails or having them whipped to ribbons, the Ida M. Moore rode out the storm of last week with perfect ease under the expert handling of Capt. Jack La Pierre, ¢ A party had chartered his boat for a week's trip to Dry Tortugas, and they say that every minute of the trip was a pleasure and that even during: the storm they suf- fered not the slightest incon- venience. The storm struck suddenly and with great violence but the sails were lowered just before the blow. The sea had been of glassy smoothness and the captain had expected the storm. Suddenly, a line of clouds appeared in the northwest and propelled by a 60- mile wind, leaped at the little ship. It was what in Texas is called a “norther” and the temperature dropped immediately. With the auxiliary motor they ran before the storm for about 30 miles and anchored just south of Marquesas, sailing into port the next morning. The captain and crew evidently knew their business as several }boats were blown into the Gulf Stream or lost their sails during the time. They have had much experience in the Bahamas as has Mr. Dudley, who was a member of the party.
