M|DD|ES IN FAIR WAY
Of HAVING CHAMPION
TEAM OF SWIMMERS

The Naval Academy appears to be
in a fair way of realizing one of its
great athletic ambitions-that of pro-
ducing a champion swimming team
this winter 1t has always been felt
that the midshipmen should excel in
this line because of its close connec-
ton with the profession for which they
are training and the fact that it is a
regular part of the course as we'll as
sport. Some Improvement was noted
last season, but never until this year
has the Naval Academy approached the
form shown in other sports and that
which Navy people felt they should at
tain.
In the meets already held the Naval
Academy has defeated Johns Hopkins
SO to 5, and Princeton. So to 10, and
await with confidence Columbia. Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, City College of
New York and Massachusetts Tech
which will be its additional opponents
this month. Not only has the local
team won these matches overwhelm-
ingly but at this early period of the
season il has lowered an intercollegi-
ate record and three Academy records
and has eQualled another of the latter.
The work of developing the remark
able swimming team at the Naval
Academy must be credited, in a large
measure, to Henry Ortland, Jr., who
assumed charge last season. He has
been assisted this season by Harry
DEVON, both being New Workers. Ort-
land, who had swan for the New York
High School of Commerce. New York
University and New York Athletic
Club, was chief petty officer in the
navy last year and was assigned to the
Academy, where he was an instructor
in swimming He has been discharged
from the Navy and is now one of the
regular instructors in the department
of physical training. His work with
the swimmers has been one of the fin
est athletic accomplishment in the
history of the Academy and Is highly
appreciated by those connected with
the institution and the naval service.

Figures submitted by the mili tary attache at Peking indicate 2 higher cost of living here than in the United States. Based on the United States dollar and the Japanese yen, both gold standard, from the year 1914 to August, 1919, the cost of liv- ing in Japan increased ITO per cent. as compared with 75 per cent. in the United States. The increase in Japan is based on the relative average price for 36 articles of merchandise in the Tokio markets.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.

The man who sometimes spoke hls thoughts aloud had been more con- cerned with the things of the world than with things spiritual. One day by chance his hand fell upon a book containing the catechism of a certain Protestant church, and he was soon earnestly engaged in reading the Ten Commandments. For some time he pondered over the Thou shafts and 'tThou shalt nots,'' which had been forgotten almost since child hood. Then, laying down the book with a sigh, he muttered:
 well, I've never liked anybody, anyway"

WOOD STILL
 UNDECIDED AS
 TO ASSIGNING
Claim Trouble With John T. Has Been Smoothed
 Over.

New York, Feb. 6.---Whether Major Gen. Leonard Wood should resign from the army in order to devote his time exclusively to furthering his can didacy for the Republican Presfden- tiaI nomination, or whether he should wait until the actual nomination at Chicago in June before taking this step Is the problem that is causing General Woods campaign managers more uneaSinesS than anything else at present. Representative Norman J. Gould, Eastern manager of the Wood campaign, returned from Chi cago yesterday with the information that although the matter was under discussion at the recent conference of managers there. no decision was reached.
 Representative Gould said that as result Of the Chicago conference at which reports from all over the coun- try were received and discussed, the national situation never looked better He said the managers were well pleased with the reports received from Maine, while the situation in Con- necticut, which looked alarming last week, when there was a. prospect of National Committeeman John T. King raising trouble, has been smoothed out, and that the prospect was excel lent for General Wood receiving the delegation from that State. MT. Gould declared that the report that James J. McGraw, National Committeeman from Oklahoma, had resigned from active work on the Wood Campaign Committee was not true.
 MT. Gould declared that it was de- cided at the Chicago conference not to make a fight for delegates in any of the New York Congressional dis tricts.
 "Of course" said MT. Gould, i've hope that most of the New Y ork del egates will be for General Wood at the convention, but we have decided not to mix in any of the factional fights in the State. In some counties where there is 8 fight on the local Republican organization we have been asked to favor one side or the other, but we will steer clear of both fac tions. We hope to have General Wood clubs started everywhere, but they will be started as the result of spon- taneouS sentiment for the candidate and not for the purpose of taking ad'- vantage of a local situation

No matter if out the frosty North A zero spell or a blizzard blows, Though a polar gale leaps fercely forth From haunts of the hardy Eski-

 colder grows No matter how cold-our ice man comes. The butchers cart in the snow is stalled, The grocer's sticks in the stable

 red No matter how cold-our ice man comes. We're shy of sugar, and out of bread; The furnace dwindles, droops and

In the central part of New York state, near Oswego, a. few days ago. a census enumerator making his rounds on snowshoes arrived at an isolated farm dwelling only to find that an able-bodied man was needed more than a census gatherer as the man of the family had been sick in bed for several days and the farm animals were suffering for lack of food and water.
