changes. however. The class Of 1921, the
first one TO spend plebe year with only
two classes above them, was not as much
in favor OF hazing as the classes that
had gone before, so that haslng dimin-
ised Workouts almost vanished, al
though there were several instances
where q plebe was punished by compel
ling him 10 bend over and then striking
him with broom.
Such was tho situation year ago,
when the haZing trouble began. The
first public outburat was silenced by the
upper classes knocking off hazing Tor q
few days, hut the second report was not
so easily Quelled. Public opinion rose
when two piebes attempted suicide By
drinking iodine and ink. giving haZing
as their reason. Tho papers were full OF
articles condemning hazing. and many
letters were received both In Washington
and ct the academy. Tho authorities
could see but TWO ways out OF the diff
ficulty; first. by segregation, and sec.
ond by making the upper classmen sign
pledge to refrain from hazing.
"A Congressional investigation seemed
imminent, and the second WAS the only
logical step TO counter H. Accordingly
the upper claaanen were gathered in
their halls one afternoon and n pledge
was presented 10 them. Tho Inidship
men wess told, New, you don't have 70

and the nidsiipmen were told how these

liberty. II also was suggested that off,

The story Of conditions which Baker

gins with the drst steps against hazing
more than year ago and the progress
OF tho fight against it under Admiral
Scales. This Is the essential part Of the
story as written by Baker;
Hsxing stiIi In Vogue.
In spite of many assertions to the
contrary. hazing at the Naval Academy
at Annapolis Is still IN vogue perhaps
not TO as great an extent as I'm former
years, but plebes are sull being hazed.
Conditions have been altered a great
deal By Admiral Scales $ segregation
order. but the inevitable is only post
poned. not obviated. The truth is that
at the present time the morale of the
Naval Academy is crushed.
The cause Of this. according 10 mid
shipmen, dates back 10 1919 when Ad-
iniral Archibald Scales arrived at the
Naval Academy. The rest of that year,
however was rather peaceful for the
class OF 1922. who were then plebes or

Worlds Strongest Child.

Natalie Owens of Los Angeles, Cal, aged nine years, is said to be the strongest child in the world. She easily lifts a man of 175 pounds. In her fathers dairy she handles cans of milk of all sizes, the largest weigh ing over 100 pounds, with as little effort and concern as the sturdiest farm hand about the place. In the public school she attends, she out runs all the boys of whatever age or size, and can trounce any two of them if the occasion arises. She has done this thoroughly several times. She is slender, not tall for her age, and weighs but 61 pounds, yet she amuses herself by lifting burdens that would tax an ordinary man, as readily as woman raises a small basket of eggs.- Montreal Herald.

Hunt sardines With seapIanes.

California promises to be the great est sardine canning center of the world as the result of the use of sea planes in the industry on the Pacific coast. Since the first of the year naval seaplanes have been flying out from the sea coast, sighting schools of fish and sending a wireless back to the naval station giving the direct location. The naval station then tele- phones the information to the San Diego office of the fish and game con- mission. Fishing fleets are immediate ly directed exactly where to seek their game and are consequently assured of a big catch.-Wall Street Journal
