tn HE most extensive upheaval in
the official and adminstra-
4 tive department Of the Naval
Academy recorded in the annals
Of the institution has just occurred.
l, Involves the detachment Of the
SUPERINTENDENT and the heads OF
several departments. Coming On
the heels OF the recent scandal
caused by the cribbng exposures. the
public mind has linked the removal
Of the officers with their action in
the cases of the accused m!dshipmen.
Opinions at Annapolis differ as TO
whether or not the officers removed
received their orders as a punishment,
but there is a general belief that the
detachment had some connection
with the great central fact-the theft
and misuse Of examination papers by
nidshlpmen at the last annual exam
mat II at the Naval Academy.
In a consideration OF the probable
effect Of the change of administration,
The opinions OF the midshipmen af-
ford some material on which to base
an opinion. Midshipmen have very
clear ideas about the present situa-
ton Of the Naval Academy. They are
par and parcel of 1t. One OF them.
member Of the second or junior
class, probably expressed the general
opinion OF the midsnipmen when he
said he believed that the changes
were not Intended to punish any offi-
e"r. He knew that Rear Admiral
FuIiam, the late superintendent Of
the Naval Academy. had only in
tended to stay at the academy short
while when he first assumed command.
lie believed that the changes were
made because the Navy Department
mad determined upon a new policy at
the Naval Academy and wished to
have new officers, not Influenced by
1ormer customs, to be in the institu-
zion to carry II out.
This same midshipman also said
mat the placing Of the members OF
IN" first class in the status OF officers
" the navy had not had good results.

~ spoke to a first class man in con-
hdence, whether or not the latter
would accept the communication as
confidential or would say I'm on duty
shd in my uniform" and make use

The assumption OF new authority by
th' first class men had caused tension
OF relations between them and the
"h'r midshlpmen. There had been
numerous fghts during the year
among the midshipmen.
There is an impression that the
members Of the first class have not
appreciated the privileges that were
granted them by the superintendent.

When asked about the results O
the experiment OF giving the mem

the privileges of the younger officers
OF the navy, a member OF the first
class said that the theory was cor
rect; and that it might work out
after three or four classes had had
these rights, but 1t had not been a
success In the present case. There
had been much wranglng. The
second class men. used to having
equal privileges with the first class,
resented the change which made them
interiors and there were many fights
during the year.
1t IN known that there was great
friction between the first and the
second and third classes. The resent.
ment Of the second class men has bec..
referred to. In using their increased
authority the first class men got so
many members Of tho third class into
trouble with the authorities that the
third class resolved in a measure not
to subscribe to the Lucky Bno. the
annual publication OF the graduating
class. Glass meetings were held and
speeches made over The subject and
there was, for a time. a war OF words

power among the midshipmen and

they were in this last academic year,

There has been an impression t
Annapolis that one OF the purposes
OF the new administration was to
make social events and athletic sports
less prominent than they have been In
the life at the Naval Academy and to
emphasize the chief object OF the in
stitution. namely, the professional
preparation OF capable, Trustworthy
and efficient naval officers. The new
superintendent. Capt. Edward W.
Eberle. has. however been heard from
on one Of these points. and that Is

As a matter OF fact. the social side

sibly twenty or twenty-five hops and
three or four balls during the whole
academic year. The officers have. in

hops, about a dozen dances and one
masked ball during the season. The

THE BOONE Way
ROUTED THROUGH LANCASTER.

The Boone Way meeting called to
meet at Mt Vernon last Monday night
was attended by representatives from
almost every county along the proposed
highway and interest was intense
throughout the entire meeting. Mr..
John M. Fsrra was the only represen-
tative from Lancaster, but that he
performed his duties well is attested
by the fact that he succeeded in having
the Boone Way routed through Lancas-
ter. The route had previously been
permanently fixed from the South to
Cumberland Gap. At the meeting
Monday night the following route was
finally decided upon;
Cumberland Gap to Middlesboro.
thence to Pineville; thence to Corbln;
thence to London; thence to Mt Yer
non; thence to Grab Orchard; thence Ia
Stanford; thence to LANCASTER;
thence to Danville; thence to Harrods-
burg. The association decided to leave
the locating of the remainder of the
route at meeting to be held at Har.
rodsburg the latter part Of MAY. The
routing Of the Boone Highway through
Lancaster. means much to this com.
munity and every public spirited citizen
should rejoice in the great achievement.

WHERE TRk
The second of four advertisements d
Those who seek the explanation for the signal
advertising success of The Saturday Evening Post
usually overlook one chief factor
They know that it has 100000 circulation
weekly
But they do not realize that the return it yields
to advertisers is due not solely to the brute force of
huge circulation but also the finesse of a sys-
tematc distribution which gets that circulation in
the heart Of the markets most profitable to the
advertiser
Where trade is brisk there the Post is strongest
Where Post sales are light, there the sales of
other commodities likely to be the most difficult
The unique selling plan of the Post has given
it distribution which necessarily parallels the
commercial possibilities of each section, each city,
each district. Post advertisements, therefore,
thoroughly cover those places where the best
opportunities of sales for the products advertised
and do not dsperse their energy in unpromisng
territories.
This somewhat extraordinary condition is due
to the fact that the Post is sold as magazine
is sold but as a commodity is Sold
It has not clung to the traditional method for
distributing pubcations-which is, in effect turning
the output over to a selling agent
Instead it has developed to the highest degree
the exclusive individual sales organization of the
manufacturer.
This organization consists of:
(a) A central head Philadelphia
b) territorial managers and highly
correspondents
c so roadmen, calling and developing local agents.
d 1000 district each charge small territory.
(e $4,000 agents in all parts country working
the supervision the district agent
And this organization is permanent one The
mortality among the boy agents is less than 10 per
cent9O per cent of them continue to sell the Post
from year to the next. And IS per cent of their

sales are to regular customers at whose houses or
offices they call.
This broad organization studies the potentialites
of every section of the country, down to the most
minute subdivision If a swift wave of prosperity
community, that community at once
responds with increased sales of the Pos-the very
place where increased sales of most advertised
products may be obtained If certain street in
some city develops greater activity there the Post
sales mount Immediately. Each agent has quota
which he is expected to reach, and this quota is
continually revised to meet changing conditions.
One day in Chicago the police department
suddenly decided to enforce old ordinance forbid
ding the sale of magazines or weeklies on city
neWsstands. Other publications lost heavily, but
through quick work by Curtis representatives
the spot the Post that week had 95 per cent of it's
normal circulation in Chicago
This Post system gives it in effect 10000
movable newsstands which can follow channels of
trade and tap the points where people congregate.
They do not have to wait for sales to to them
They go to the sales
In other words, the system involves promotion
well a distribution which is just what every
manufacturer tries to get.
Alert prosperous, accessible communities pro-
duce larger Post sales in proportion to population
than those which depressed, or declining, or
difficult of access
And the alert prosperous accessible COM
munities offer the best opportunities of sales for
other commodities; there the most dealers are
located; there the statesmen call most frequently
The advertiser in the Post therefore, is exerting
a minimum of his effort in talking to people who
will not buy his goods and to communities where
his goods are not on sale.
maximum of his effort goes to the intensive
cultivation OF the brisk and promising markets.
The circulation of the Post parallels commercial
opportunity.
