lated that a large number OF naval
cadets were negligent in following the
service in the chapel. which was after
the ritual OF the Episcopal church. An
incautlous Officer In charge on Sunday
morning made a little address 70 the
church party on the subject, saying he

noses were blown simultaneously with
a vehemence that was startling. The

The cadets received other instructions
later In the day from furious officer
who sternly resented their innocent
statements that they did not know
which was ritual and which was not,
and that q had not instructed them
that blowing his nose stood on a DIFF
