Naval Cadet Standards.

To the Editor of The Star:
There IS an old saying that when

of our naval cadets as evidenced in the

is hoping that those cadets coming to

institution there would be a number of
individuals lacking in a sense of honor,
but what seems most disturbing is the
report, II true. that cadets on the
stand. not connected with the scandal,
coolly admitted that. II they had got

Of expression also gave me a chill,

to have stated that they would have

ASTRONOMICAL SUMMER
BEGINS TOMORROW MORN
Summer Solstice to Be 1naugurated
at 7:22 A.M.-Today Not
Longest Of Year.

Lest we forget, actual astronomical
summer begins tomorrow. Recalling the
temperatures of several days of last week.
it is not likely that many persons labor
under the impression that winter still is
in our midst. But whenever June Il rolls
around the first greeting every one re-
ceives is something like:
"Well today is the longest day of the
year. isn't it? And summer begins today,
too"
Whereupon the enlightened individual
has to say, kindly but firmly:
"Yes, today isn't the longest day Of the
wear. and summer doesn't beg in until to-
morrow"
Then the greeter fixes a reproachful
gaze on the enlightened individual and be-
gins to talk about the war. or the con-
ditions of crops or the probability OF olt-
neys displacing the street cars.
The fact of the matter is that the sun
rose this morning at "a o'clock-an un-
earthly hour for the sun or ANYBODY else
to rise-and that it will set tonight at
1928 o'clock, which is certainly OVERRIDING
that "early-to-bed'' stuff This gives four
teen hours and f1fty-four minutes of sun
shine, provided the day isn't cloudy. But
tomorrow will be just as long, and for
that matter yesterday only lacked cou-
pie of minutes Of being as long as today
or tomorrow either.
The summer solstice, according to as
Economical calculations, will begin at I :22
o'clock tomorrow morning, at which time
the sun starts back on its southern swing
and the days begin to grow shorter.
But bear in mind that tonight is Mid
summer Night" when people and things
used to be supposed to do all kinds of
foolish things and when mortals are pc
cularly susceptible to the influence of the
