DECLARED TO BE FAULTY
Vessels Said to Range From Dread
noughts to Destroyers

Surprise was expressed in naval circles
today over the report that IL ships or the
United States Navy must be equipped
with new engines to replace faulty ones
The biggest OF the ships affected. the re-
port asserts, Is the Nevada. The North
Dakota also is mentioned. IL has peen
placed in the reserve fleet.
All grades of ships are affected. says
the report Among the smaller craft ar
fected are the destroyers Downes, Dun
can and Henley. They have been In COM
mission only few months. f..
The chief fault with the engines, II is
said, is their excessive use OF coal
In most cases the shipbuilding COM
panies have agreed to install new engines
or adequately remedy the trouble that
has developed since the ships were
launched. In some cases the companies
have been tied up by contracts. calling
for successful trials over a period OF six
months. This is true OF the toTpedoboat
destroyer Downes. which was launched at

PARENTS INSIST BOYS MAY
GO TO SCHOOL COLLARLESS
II Teachers Wear V-Neck Dresses,
Why Object to Boys Attire?
They Say

The New Jersey State Superintendent
OF Schools will soon be called upon TO
decide whether the schoolboys in that
state may go to school without collars.
The Board OF Education in Merchant
vile has already decided that they will
not be permitted to do so. but one pro-
testing parent in Merchantvine is not
satisfied with the decision Of the board
ana contests its right to regulate the
saItoriel makeup OF the boys.
The decision OF the board upheld the
scuon OF teachers who refused to allow
robertson and VanLear Turner In their
ciessrooms without collars, and as a con-
sequence the parents OF the boys, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank v. L. Turner, have announced
that they will carry the night 70 Tren-
,on, TO the highest authority In the New
Jersey school system, State superinten-
dent Calvin N. Kendall.
rhe two boys were excluded from the
ciassrooms four days. from September
y 70 September II. because they said
u was 30 hot on those days they wanted
70 go without collars. The parents pre-
sented a petition that the boys be given
credit for the studies they had missed
curing their absence from school on those
days. They argued that children are
sent 10 school TO be educated and that
any attempt OF the teacher to regulate
nelr dress is an infringement on the
rights OF parents. Their petition was de-
MED by the board.
The angry parents hint that Miss Rog-
ere and Miss Etter. the teachers who sent
the boys home, wear V-neck dresses, ana
shat their action In refusing to lot the
eoys do the same Is inconsistent II the
STATE Superintendent won't agree with
.heir point Of view, Mr.. and Mrs Turner

man is necessarily too narrow to meet
