HE'D HAVE RIODIES DEBATE.
Daniels Proposes Organization at An
napolp To Broaden Cadets

Secretary Daniels wants debat-
ing society organized at the Naval
Academy. Officers at the Academy
have been much interested in a letter
received from the Secretary by Cap
tain Fullam. the new superintendent Of
the Academy, in which the desire-
hility of hayinI a debating society for
the midshipmen is set forth
The Secretary believes, il is said,
that the young men at the Academy
are prone to pay too little attention
to current events in the world out
side the Academy walls, and that
an organization such as he suggests
would courteraet the narrowing infu-
ences cf close application to studies.
Some time go the Secretary, with
8 similar purpose in mind, arranged
for a number Of we'll known men
to lecture at the Academy this win
ter. A debating society, however,
the Secretary believes. would be
even better than lectures, az the
midshipmen would be obliged to do
more than listen IN order TO pre-
pare themselves for participation in
debates.

sood that the act is to be held over at
the Colonial Theatre for the week oy

and requests fer this set than any

The act will be changed in almost
its entir sty with the exception OF the

red head of the company, will sing
special selection, one that is adapted
To her own peculiar style of beauty as
we'll as TO her splendid voice.
Mss Rose has g strong voice OF
great carrying qualities and her solo
work is very good. Her voice is so
full and deep that one wonders how
such a cunning wee girlie can pos
sess it. She says she is the envy Of
.'I.sskv's Red Heads and it is easy
TO believe after you see her beautiful
tresses. The two smallest girlies OF
the troupe who. by the way, are
twins. will do a real sister dance
act. Their team work is mighty
clever. Miss LeVere has cut out
plenty cf work for each and every one
OF the company, so you will have
plenty Of good live. snappy entertain
ment, and the act viii run even long
