WEST POINT HIS GOAL
Tho early studies Of the future Admiral
We're pursued In the village school Before
he was fifteen years old he had become a
cadet in the Norwich University. In 1854
he entered the Naval Academy. Dewey
would rather have gone to West Point.
Speaking Of that time in his life. the Ad
mirll said
Dewey stood high in his class at Anuapo-
lis. That he early was most practical
man is indicated by the fact that the eX-
amniuE board gave him the highest ave-
rage while the academic board gave him an
average that would have placed him fifth
In the graduating class. However, there
was "a practice Of adding the two averages
and this brought Dewey up to third place.
He was graduated early In the year 1861.
at a time when the Union needed every Off

This year, for the first time, we an
nounce twice the needed strength.
And that, in each important part, is
amply proved by tests.
Over 440 parts are made of tough
ened steel. All parts which get
major strain are made of Chrome
Vanadium, and made oversize.
The axles, steering parts, gears and
transmission are made twice strong
enough for any expected shock.
The Bate cantilever springs are so
strong that, in two years, not a
single spring has broken.
