NAVAL MEN HELD ON GRAFT CHARGE,
 SAYS NEWSPAPER
Reported That Half Million Paid for Special FavOrs by
 Men in Service
By Associated Press

New York, February 1S.-Arrests on charges of bribery and graft in the per sonnel of the Third naval district have been made following an investigation ordered by Secretary Daniels, the New York Evening Post says today.
 The Evennig Post says it is reported that approximately s5OO,OoO was expended in payment for special favors granted individuals in the service.'
 Many men, it is declared, were appar- ently admitted into the navy and the naval reserves in order to escape being drafted into the army. The physical standards for the navy and the naval re serve were higher than for the army it is explained in this connection, and some men who were found physically unfftted for service in the navy or naval reserves were nevertheless admitted when they made payments of money.
 Officers, especially those of the naval reserve, have expressed the hope that the investigation will go to the roots of the matted in order that all the guilty may be exposed and suspicion removed from the innocent, continued the Post, adding that some officers feared that the influence of some of the men who are believed to have received favors might prove strong enough to prevent com plete expose.
 None of the 10000 officers and men at the Bay Ridge barracks, used as re ceiving ship for the Third naval dis trict, has been placed under arrest, ac-

 The heavy guns there-11-inch and 12- ir.ch weapons-probably were reinforced during the war by 15-inch guns. The
 guns are mounted in steel turrets of

HOW TO BE THIN
Nv ANNETTE KELLERMAN

During my career as a swimmer ana a motion picture star, thousands of per- sons from all over the world have writ ten, asking me how to be thin.
 To all of these people reply that there are two things necessary. These are: Exercise and proper food.
 Moreover, one of them is of no use without the other
 A fat fluffy. lazy woman, who stays in the house, or who never travels any where without going in her car will never get thn-no matter how much she may diet
 And the keenest exponent of the stren- uous life is likely to get stouter and stouter, if she is disposed to obesity. provided she does not guard against eat ing fattening foods.
 Peristency is absolutely essential. both in dieting and in exercise.
 There are several simple exercises that can be performed in the home. A simple course in calesthenics-perform regu- lary every morning before breakfast will suffice. Walking and swimming are the greatest means there are for keeping the figure slender. Swimming develops and beautifies a woman's arms. It develops the arch Of the chest It reduces flabby breasts and makes them firm. So, girls, if you would be thin and will lowy, don't be lazy about your exercise and put strong curb on your appetities.

Sporting Bob Gets
 Letter From Brother

Robert P. McDavid. sporting editor of The Age-Herald, recently received the fol lowing letter from his brother, Joe Me David. First company headquarters, sig nal corps, stationed at Tours. France. The letter bears date of January p. He says:
 "I am getting along pretty well, but am still anxious to get back to old Ala bama. The other day I went down to a French laundry to get my clothes and a good looking little mademoiselle handed my clothes to me wrapped in a Birming- ham Age-Herald. What do you think of that? Quite coincidence, eh? You might boast of large circulation, but it makes me think this a very small world.
 General Pershing was down here the other day. He came down to pay lis a visit and to award about 10 distinguished service medals to some of the generals Of these headquarters. When he marched out on the field he passed within few feet of where I was standing and I got a good look at him. He looks very much like his picture. but quite bit older When he came out into the courtyard the band cut loose on Dixie. and it sure made a hit with me.
 'I just read piece in the New York Herald where the AntiSaloon league was preparing to start to work over in this country, and that by 1930 they expected to have the world bone-dry. If they will i, take my tip, they will stay away from this country, for they would be about as welcome over here as skunk at lawn party. l have heard a lot of comment from the boys who live in wet states, and, believe me, they sure are sore They feel as though they had something slipped into them''

RAMSEY CLASS TO GIVE ENTERTAINMENT
 OF UNIQUE NATURE
Chairman Currie Has Several Stunts
 Planned That Will Thoroughly Entertain the Guests

Every male member of the First Meth odist church is invited to be present at a banquet to be given in the basement of the church Friday night by the Ram sey class. This meeting is to be purely one of goodfellowship, and a good time is promised all who attend.
 Every man who is a member of this church is urged to send acceptance of the invitation to the banquet to the secretary, Box 317. The meeting is purely for the purpose of making all the men of the First Methodist church better acquainted with each other.
 A hgh-grade entertainment is prom ised all who come out, and the fact that Chairman W. A. Currie heads the entertainment committee is positive proof of a joyous time for all concerned. MT. Curre is noted for the amazing sue cess of all entertainment committees on which he assists, and everyone should be present with a laugh at o'clock Fri day night.
