HIDSH|PMAN DIES
FIANCEE With HIN
Pneumonia Fatal To Kenneth Fail-
ing, of Toledo, Ohio.
SOON TO HAVE GRADUATED
His Engagement 10 Miss Morrow, Of
Baltimore, Had Not Been For
mally Announced-BOdy to
be Sent Home.

Stricken with pneumonia, which de-
veloped only a few days ago, Midship-
man Kenneth Failing died yesterday
afternoon shortly before 3 o'clock un-
der peculiarly sad circumstances. The
young man, whose home was in To-
ledo. Ohio, was engaged to be married
TO Miss Virginia Lee Morrow, of Ro-
land Park, Baltimore, who, with her
mother, Mrs. Charles A. Morrow, and
his sister, Mrs. w G. Langdon, was
at the hospital when death overlook
him
All three spent the night at the
home of Lieutenant Commander and
Mrs. G. c. Pegram. His death was a
great shock to his associates in An
napolis, with whom he was popul-r
This was felt especially because last
night was the occasion of the Hun
dredth Night theatrical entertain
ment by the Midshipman's Dramatic
Club, 1.-The Masqueraders." The per-
formance which was to have been held
for three nights was called off last
night, and the remaining scheduled
performance will not be held until
later.
The young man had been i'll for
only a short time, having contracted
a cold about a week ago that devel-
| oped into pneumonia.
The engagement of Miss Morrow to
Midshipman Failing had been known
to the intimate friends of the two for
some time, but had not been formally
announced 1t is said they were to
have been married upon the gradua-
tion of the young man, which would
in all probability have taken place
this spring. Midshipman Failing, who
is the son of Mrs. Frank Failing, was
known in Baltimore, having paid fre-
quent visits to that city during the
past few years.
He was a brother of Ensign Rollin
Failing, who was graduated last fall,
and who was one of the best all
round athletes at the Academy. On
February 13, Midshipman Failing COM
planned of a cold, but paid little at
tention to it. His condition not i'm
proving, however, several days ago he
was removed to the Naval Hospital,
WueI0 uSNGlOptus NuCu IL
was realized that his condition was
serious, Miss Morrow and the young
mans mother were notified of the sit
uation and Immediately his financee
and her mother left for this city His
mother, it is understood, is in i'll
health and was therefore unable to
answer the summons of the Naval
ACADEMY authorities
The funeral services will be held
this afternoon at 4 o'clock in the
Naval Academy Chapel, the Chaplain,
Rev. Sydney Key Evans, U. S. N, con-
Quoting the services.
At the request of the family there
will be no military escort, and the
Midshipman will not accompany the
remains to the train. 1t is probable,
however, that the classmates of the
deceased not under arms, will act as
escort to the Chapel and to the sta
ton after the services.
The body will be taken to Toledo,
Ohio, the home of the young man, for
burial

birthday since American entered the
world war.
Simple were the ceremonies, but
the audience left the room feeling
that they were better Americans than
ever.
The interior of the old Chamber was
dressed similarly to it's appearance
on the day the American commander
resigned. Two monster flags, one the
national emblem and othe other the
State flag, were stretched across the
north en- dof the room, while other
flags were draped on the old desk
where Washington leaned as he deliv-
cred his farewell address.
Both branches held brief routine
sessions in their own chambers before
the celebration and this afternoon the
Assembly will adjourn until next
week
Governor Harrington, and many Off
GERS of the Naval Academy attended the
ceremonies, which were in charge of
members of the Senate. Following
an overture by the Naval Academy
Band, President Campbell, of the Sen
ate, eulogized Washington in a STIR
ring speech, followed by Speaker
Wooden, who spoke of Washington as
the man.
The audience was brought to it's feet
when Mrs. Anna Brewer sang the
Star-Spangled Banner
Senator Williams, of Montgomery,
read the farewell address of Washing
ton, and Senator Eppler, of -Allegany,
gave a patriotic reading, delivered
with real eloquence.
The final color recalling the interest
of the French in the baby republic Of
the Western Hemisphere was given
when Professor CASTOR Costet, of the
Department of Modern Languages at
the Naval Academy, sang the Marseil-
laise in his native tongue.

To Check Pneumonia
c omm unicabIe Disease

In the hope of checking the spread
of pneumonia, which is unusually fatal
this winter, Health Commissioner ].
d. Blake, of Baltimore, is having the
departments nurses who look after
tuberculosis and other communicable
diseases visit homes in which cases
are reported by physicians and give
instructions as to the isolation and
care of the patients. They leave in
each house a typewriter statement
showing the precautions that should
be taken.
Dr. Blake said the department was
treating pneumonia exactly as it treats
all communicable diseases, and hopes
in this way to prevent it from spread
ing from one person to another. I'VE
are pointing out the necessity for
quick quarantine" he stated. ''It is
the most effective way of handling the
situation"
An unusually severe winter is given
as the chief cause. Its spread is de-
clared to be due largely to the fact
that because of the cold weather peo-
pie have been living in one or two
rooms to keep warm. This has given
the germ a .foothold that has been
hard to break. Scientists who have
studied pneumonia find that the germ,
injected into animals, becomes more
active as it passes from one to an
other. From this fact they learn that
the disease spreads through the close
living conditions brought on by
severe weather and the scarcity OF
| fuel
More pneumonia cases have been
reported in Annapolis and Anne Arun-
del County this year than for years
previous.

MADE BY SUN WoRSHIPERs
Theory Advanced Concerning Aper.
lures in Walls of the Casa Grande
Ruin In Arizona,

According to a National Park news
paper bulletin issued by the depart.
ment of the interior, there is much
speculation and concern on the part Of
tourists and Psychologists over two
pairs of holes in the walls of the Casa
Grande ruin in Arizona. The holes
are about an inch and a half in dame
ter, and are bored through walls four
feet thick. They occur in pairs, each
pair on opposite sides of a great GEN.
trail room. TheSholes in each pair are
In line with each other, so that one
standing in dark first-floor room be-
hind the center room may look through
the innermost holes at the sky. One
pair points due east, the other pair
points north at declining angle.
One can only assume that the tribes
which built this most ancient of pueb-
los were deeply religious people and
worshipers of the sun. An interesting
theory was recently advanced TO ex,
plain the holes. 1t is said that these
holes form what might be called sea-
sonal clock. Twice year, once as
the sun works north and once as it
works south along the eastern horizon,
it rises in line with the eastward
pointing holes and on one morning,
possibly for three minutes, throws
bar Of light into the dark inner rooms.
From this the ceremonial calendar
could be dated and certain festivals
would fall on the same day year after
year. One is reminded of Stonehenge,
