SECRET VISITS OF
 STUDENTS PROBED

Annapolis, June 24,-The court of in- qury Investigating irregularities in naval academy examination papers, today went further into the matter of secret visits by midshpmen to the offices of various heads of departments.
 c. M. Reagle of the former third class, who admitted yesterday that he had roamed through several of the depart ments with the aid of master key, pair of pliers and a pocket searchlight, figured largely in todays testimony.
 w. D. Jones, a classmate, testified that he had accompanied Beagle on one of the nocturnal expeditions in search of midshipmen's class marks in advance of their being given out. Asked if he had known Reagle to have any other advance information in his possession, Jones said he at one time had seen Reagle with mechanical drawing which he (Reagle) thought would be a sheet in the next exercise in mechanical drawing Jones thought Reagles surmise had proven cor rect
 Tn answer to another question, Jones said he did not think much of Reagles integrity and hls opinion was shared by the majority of Reagle's company. The same answer was given later by William F. Dietrich of the same class.

 For washing skirts, coats, boys cloth ing, or any colored wooens that are much soiled, there is nothing better than soap bark. 1t is harmless and may be safely used. Get cents worth at drug store, put it into a gallon of water, and let it boil slowly for 10 minutes. Strain then into a larger vessel. Add enough cold water to make it the right temperature for the hands; then wash the garment, sousing it up and down. Do not use a board.

 People cannot stop gossiping sudden ly. but they can at least assert some self-control and a strong impelling pur- pose to quit it.
 They must gradually accustom them. selves to the change; and if they are over given to the habit, they should be- gin al once to mend their ways
 Harmless and friendly talk about our neighbors and acquaintances is all very well in its way. and to talk about body's friends is the most natural thing in the world but such talk cannot be chased as gossip, and if tempered with kindness, cannot possibly do any harm, but when you find yourself repeating
