Ambitions of a young man named
Storey Dyal, Of Sarasota, Fla. were
shattered in New Orleans Saturday
when he tried to enlist III the EaVy.
This Is how tho Times picayune of
Sunday relates the story:
A Disappointed Youngster.
Storey Dyal, sixteen years old, a
wide-awake high school boy of Sara
sofa. Fla, some time ago conceived the
idea that he would like to be an ad-
miral in the United States navy, and
found that. according to the literature
which is prepared for youth by Ho-
ratio Alger, Jr.. and others, that the
proper and sure way was to enlist as
seaman. Accordingly, Storey left
home and came to New Orleans. Pen
sacola was nearer, but the boy did
not know there was a navy recruiting
station at Pensacola. Arriving here,
he applied for enlistment, but was in
formed that he was too young, and,
besides, he could not pass the ply

Important Link in

The formal opening OF the Cape Cod
canal adds an important link to the
system of inland waterways that will
eventually make it possible to journey
from Boston to the coast OF Texas
without once going into deep water
The Cape Cod canal was originally
projected over a hundred years ago,
across the narrow neck OF land be-
tween Buzza-d's Bay. at the eastern
extremity of Long Island Sound, and
Massachusetts, Bay. inside the hook of
Cape Cod. The trip around this cape

any cancellations, they were not pre-
