YOUNGEST MAN IN THE JOB
Still on Sunny Side Of IS, But
He Has Accomplished Many
Things in Navy.

Lieut.. Byron McCandless. for more
than a year aide to Rear Admiral Ben
son. chief OF naval operations. has as
sumed his new duties 3 aide to secre-
tary Of the Navy Daniels. succeeding
Lieut. Comdr. Wurtsbaush. who was
ordered to sea duty.
The new aide to the Secretary Is prob
ably the youngest man who has ever
filled that rest. He has not turned
thirty-fve and has been out of the Naval
Academy little over ten years. but In
that time he has accomplished things
tina: have brought him to the front as
-one of the most promising Of the
yorrger nd"al officers.
For instance, when the prepared
ness agitation hrst arose and there
was wide discussion as to the reia-
tive strength of the worlds navies
and Of the comparative strength OF
the United States navy: Lieutenant
MEGA ndless hit upon plan that set
tied the argument.
Made Photostat Copies.
His plan was to make photostat
copies Of every battleship afoat. This
was made possible by the fact that
from time to time photographs Of
all the worlds naval vessels have
been published. 1t was some task TO
obtain books and periodicals In which
these photographs appeared. but It
was done.
Then tho navies were assembled By
pinning the photographs Of the ships
on Q wide strip Of muslin. First the

Then came the German navy and then

gram they took Lieutenant McCsnd-

be sneezed at by anyone but members.
The official slogan Of the convention
is a quotation from a funeral grafton
By the original hay fever victim. Marc
Antony. wherein he said:
You who have tears to shed, prepare
TO shed them now"
II has long been generally believed
that Antony was exhorting his hearers
70 weep over the death of Caesar, but
the associations research department,
under the direction OF President John
H. Pinover, Of Brooklyn. has definitely
established that Antony merely inter-
rupted himself to warn his fellow suf-
1erers Of the hay fever seasons ap-
roach.
Mr.. Pinover here today also expressed
the suspicion that there was. really. no
such man as Caesar. that his name, az
. matter of fact. was Sneezer, which,
Of course. explains what Antony meant
