A NAVAL ACADEMY INCIDENT

Before the naval academy was cs
! tablished. midshipmen received their
/ education entirely on board ship.
! Their technical education was OBJ
/ tanned in the school of experience,
helped out occasionally by the volun-
| tary efforts of the older line officers.
| Their general education was at first
\ neglected. but later instructors were
| appointed for service on ships that
| carried midshipmen. These were APP
/ pointed ID the secretary of the navy
| for stated periods. much as civilian
| instructors at the naval academy are
appointed at the present time. In
! 1912 a general order was issued pro-
viding that they should live and mess
with lieutenants. They We're COM
missioned in lS4S, but specific rank
was not given them until the general
reorganization of all staff corps dur
ing the civil war. The late Prof.
H H Lockwood. L. S. ". in some
very interesting "reminiscences read
| before the Naval Academy Graduates
| association in 1898. relates how the
corps of professors of mathematics
came to be formed. In the early
days of the naval academy he was
one of its instructors. He had had
service in the army and in the de-
velopment of the course of instruc-
ton he determined. after consultation
with the superintendent. to give the
midshipmen little infantry drill.
| This did not suit the proud spirits Of
the young gentlemen Of that day. and
l 70 chou. tbcir 1iSa nnroyal of this and
other efforts of the professor. they
hung him in effigy. An investiga-
I ton and court martial followed on
the charge of insulting a superior Of
| ficer. The defense put up the plea
! that the instructor was not SUI
periOr officer. Such a condition is
| hard to understand at this time. when
| the status of officers. instructors and
| midshipmcn at the naval academy is
we'll defined. but at that time mid
shipmen were officers. while instruct
ors had no official standing. The
plea was technically correct. and to
punish the guilty midshipmen II was
| found necessary to substitute charges
| in which the anomalous position of
! the professor in the naval service
could not be made to enter. Upon
| these the guilty midshipmen were
condemned and punished. This Incl
dent led to an amendment in the
! naval appropriation bill of lS4s. Civ

of twelve professors of mathematics.

lows Are Making a Hit.

There is one place at least i'm this
city where a stranger is made to

spend several hours i'm wandering
about looking at the many strange
! and curious things which Mr.. L. l..
Bake. who is a connoisseur in In
dian and Mexican handiwork. has
gathered about him in the Big Curio
Store
Indian moccasins and pillows are
proving the hits of the present hOli-
day season at this popular store The
moccasins are made from buckskin
and have the smoky smell that al
ways distinguishes the real Indian
footwear from the kind that is made
in factories of the east from sheep
skin. shipped west and sold to the
unsuspecting buyer as real buckslIin.
Indian moccasins."
II. L. Bake has been selling san
dals manufactured by the natives of
the Apache and Navajo tribes for the
past twenty-five years right here in
Phoenix, and he knows the real
thing when he sees it and he gives
his customer the benefit of his
knowledge. Being a sociable sort of
man. he is willing to tell you the
history of his wares. even if you do
not buy them.
The leather pillows are light and
dark tan and green in color and are
made from Angora goat skin. and
have various designs. such as Indian
heads. cowboys and cactus flowers
and fruit painted, burned or appliqued
upon them. Others have a sketch of
San Xavier mission and verse OF
The Angelus. but the one with Ari-
zona's state flower. the blossom Of
the cactus, is the favorite with buy
ers. These pillow covers show the
broad, flat leaf of the cactus with
buds. blossoms and fruit put on them
in the applique. hand painting and
burned work.
All the goods at the Big Curio
Store are being sold at discount,
and it is an opportunity that will
not come again soon.

| HOW CAN THE
GIRLS BE POPULARt
BY CYNTHIA GREY.

My Dear Girls:
So many OF you write to me and
tell me-you are not popular; you ask
me why, and I'd just love TO tell you.
II knew a little more about you
maybe could help you. II is beauti.
full to be popular-in the right way.
There are many kinds Of popularity
and some are decidedly undesirable.
Now | want every girl who reads
this to write to me and tell me her
idea Of popularity, the class OF peo-
pie she wants TO like her, and the
reasons she thinks other girls are
popular. Then | am going TO write
some letters TO help you to an under
standing of what popularity means,
what kind bring happiness and what
kind misery. II Is really true that
many popular persons are far from
happy
Don't be afraid to write fully and
freely; by so doing you will help me
and may help yourselves. hope tD
hear from some OF you very soon.
II is my purpose TO take up num-
Der of questions of this kind with the
idea OF helping girls TO a better un.
derstanding of their problems, and
want all my girls to help me. Your
friend, CYNTHIA GREY.
