Interest of the Naval Acadamy au-
thorities is being sought in the project
of raising the old United States war
ship Philadelphia. formerly commanded
by Commodore Stephen Decatur. which
was sunk Off the coast of Algiers many
years ago. The plan is To restore the
hulk Of the vessel, or else to raise her
in order to get a number of curios
which her hulk is said to contain.
Harold S. Spencer. former midship-
man at the Naval Academy. who is now
private secretary to the American AM
bassador at Rome. was in Annapolis
Saturday. and conferred with Superin-
tendent Gibbons. of the Naval Acade-
my. about the matter. There is much
sentiment favorable to the project of
raising the old hull.
Ii is understood that a bill carrying
an appropriation OF $4,000 to provide
for floating the vessel will be laid be-
fore Congress at its present session. II
is hoped to push the measure through
as early as possible.

himself as eligible to the rewards of
the early Christians because he gives
up a ball game or a theater that his
cooking stove fund may grow.
Feels Sorry For Self.
He feels sorry for himself, and the
first twinge of self-pity a lover feels
is the first of many stabs at the heart
of the girl he loves.

when he is not with her are no longer
his most weary hours; they have be-
come his evenings off. He flies here
and there, and the engagement of
which he was at first so proud becomep
something to conceal because of the
hampering influence it would have on
his relations with other girls
The girl, with her head bent little
lower over her embroidering and hem
stitching. continues to take such JOY
in anticipation of their future she
doesn't see that the face of the future
has changed. She has grown older, and
is losing the freshness of youth. When
he takes her out he is conscious that
she isn't as smartly attired as other
girls. Manlike, he doesn't see the sac
rifice; he sees only the effect.
Loves a fire that needs renewal Of
fresh beauty for its fuel" She has
neglected the renewing of fuel in her
certainty that his love was lasting, and
realizes her folly only when the ashes
are dead and cold.
The tie that binds a man to an en-
gagement of marriage is as fragile as
gossamer and when it is broken it
leaves him with no scars.
A girl is bound by a tie which her
love makes cable. To the end Of her
days she will bear on her heart marks
of this painful lesson in mans fallibil-
ity when that engagement is broken.

1t certainly is not An engagement
of more than a years duration is as
