NAVAL ACADEMY IS
RULED BY POLITICS
Officials 0verridden by Power
full Influences Back Of Mid
shipmen

Washington, d. c., July 21.-From
official documents, letters and tele-
grams,on file at the Navy Department
Investigators have obtained facts deal
ing with present conditions at the
Naval Academy which 1t is declared
indicate tendency toward serious un-
rest there If not. indeed, in the naval
service at large.
These documents. letters and tele-
grams show conclusively that the man
agement of the academy has been
overruled in its decisions as to the
proper course to be pursued with mid
shipmen guilty of dishonorable con-
duct; that powerful political influences
have repeatedly attempted to protect
midshipmen whose guilt was estab-
lished by their own admissions, and
that as early as September, 1918, the
Secretary of the Navy removed from
the management the power to dis
cipline midshipmen guilty of serious
offenses.
That this tendency prevailed prior
to the recent examination scandal at
the academy is apparent from an or
der issued by the Secretary of the
Navy in September, 1918, directing the
management to refrain from acting
upon cases of intoxication, immortality
and hazing. All power to discipline
the midshipmen under its charge was
removed from the management 1t
was simply given authority to report"
such offenses

Best Armor Pierced
in U. 5. Torpedo Test

Norfolk, Va, July 21.-The thick
est and best made armor plate used
on modern battleships is no protection
against the torpedo discharged by the
latest type of submarine. In other
words, the biggest dreadnought now
atioat flying the American flag would
be easy prey for the German subma-
rine now operating in the waters about
the British Isles.
|, Such will be tEe report to Secretary
Daniels and the Navy Department of
a special board named recently to
make experiments to determine the
value OF the present armor used on
Uncle Sans war dogs.
The test was made in the Elizabeth
river. The Witnessing board was COM
posed of Lieutenant Commander De-
frees and Lieutenants Schuyler and
Smith, admitted navy experts. The
test was made in secret on the west
ern branch of the river not more than
500 feet from the interned German
cruisers A large caisson constructed
on the interior and protected the same
as battleship with armor on the ex-
terror, was used in the test. The lat
est type torpedo was used.
II is declared that the armor was
pierced and the caisson sank in a few
minutes. The result of the explosion
was obvious from distance, hence the
leaking of the guarded secret.
Absolute inetficiency of the armor
protection is not questioned.

indigestion and practically all

fore stomach sufferers should, when
ever possible. avoid eating food that Is
acid in its nature. or which by, chem1-

dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are
usually so thin. emaciated and lacking

obliged to exclude from their diet all
starchy, sweet or fatty food. and are
trying to keep up a miserable existence

that you should try meal of any food
or foods which you may like, in mod

This will neutralize any acid which

When You Wash Your
Hair Don't Use Soap

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much a1kali, which is very
injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
! The best thing to use it Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless It's very
cheap, and beats soaps or anything
else all to pieces. You can get this at
any drug store, and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly and Is soft, fresh looking,
