The increase from five men to 90 in

Notwithstanding the criticism under

ori2ed by law, and actually has had a
waiting list.
1t may be that treating enlisted men
decently providing educational adyant-
ages and opening some opportunities to

officers is bad for the navy, but if so,
then we are strong for that kind of
bad navy. We have too long toler.

He or she may be genius in the art
of mimicry Walter Prichard Eaton
tells about famous mimics in the No
vember American Magazines. He says:
1T is frequent comment among
commonplace and essentially thought
less people that the actor. by spending
his life being somebody else is there
fore weak character, not quite
worthy of a practical mans respect.
1t goes without saying that the people
who make this statement have never
known any first-rate actors or ac-
tresses. Giving limitations of Eddie
Foy is, to be sure, easy and childish.
But to conceive by the force of imagi-
nation the figure of Hamlet, of Mac
beth, of Disraeli. of any one of 10000
characters in the serious dramas or
the world. and then to hold that con-
ception firmly in the mind and SO to
initiate it, mimic it, that it comes to
life for the beholder, is not easy. and
it is not childish. 1t is creative art.
because it is accomplished by aid OF
the ina gination. and the creator, there
