The Annual Debate Of the Annie Ar.
undel Academy. Minersville. between
the two literary societies of the
Academy. the Gwins and the Bald.
wins, was held Friday evening March
26th.
This event is looked forward 10 dur
ing the whole school year and there is
very keen rivalry between the two
societies. Preliminary debates are held
upon which any of the Senior classes

for each Society.

Fannie Beatrice Written. Red sulphur
Springs, w Va
Those representing the Baldwius
were Miss Mary W Baldwin. Mr.. Mel.
son NJ Turner Mr.. Rignal ID. Wood
ward, all of Millersville.
The Question, Resolved, that the
Peace Treaty be ratified without
Amendments" was most ably blended
by the Gwins and holly opposed by the
Baldwins. The debate was won by the
OWNS, but the gold medal for the best
individual debator went to Miss Mary
Baldwin, who fought valiantly for the
losing team.
Miss Dorothy Scharf received honor
able mention and Miss Fannie Whit
tens splendid analysis Of the Treaty
was very interesting.
The Hall had been beautifully and
artistically decorated by the two so
cieties with their respective colors:
The purple and gold of the Baldwin's
was used most effectively on their side,
in baskets of purple iris and dainty
yellow and purple flowers.
The Gwins with their green and vel
10 wmade thei rside lovely with a
basket of yellow roses and the chairs
wound with the green and yellow,
table covered with the colors and gay
streamers overhead of all the colors
made a charming effect.
The spirit of enthusiasm and loyalty
was vigorously expressed in the clever
cheers proposed by both sides, the boys
gracefully yielding the cheer leading
to the girls Miss Mary Stevens led the
Baldwin's and Miss Lucille Conoyer
led the Gwins. The cheering occasion
ed much amusement and merriment
for the splendidly entertained audi
ence.

CUBA OWES MUCH TO GoRGaS
Work of American Medical officer
Converted Island From Plague
Spot to Pleasure Resort.

Cubans take great deal of pride In
the Prado, a splendid avenue about two
miles In length extending from a
charming park TO the Havana water
front Several years ago the tourist
who had walked on the Prado was
generally held TO have risked his life
by mingling with the crowd, when yei-
low fever scourged Cuba annually.
Malaria was also frequent, and Ha-
vana had the reputation of being one
of the unhealthiest places in the
world.
In 1901 General Gorgas, then a
major, became sanitary officer at Ha-
vana. and dealt so effectively with the
terrible plague that by 1910 not a
case had originated in the city. The
successful fight against the fever was
due TO the remarkable discoveries by
American physicians that these dis
eases were transmitted by mosquitoes.
The fight against yellow fever helped
TO curb other epidemics.
Havana has generally been extraor-
dlnarly prosperous. Under the harsh
Spanish rule, ut time when only a
tenth of the land in Cuba was cuIti-
waited, the island was able TO pay
Spain between $20,000.000 and $4,000
900 annually. The world shortage of
sugar has made this prosperity of the
past seem a small matter. Million
aires have been made over night, the
Cubans having so much money and
entertaining so many minlonaires from
America that Havana is not good
place for a poor man to visit.

pIu~ood in Airplane Construction

PlywOod is wood of any variety that
has been cut by a machine into thin
layers and glued together again In
such way that the grain of one layer
runs at an angle to the grain Of two
adjacent layers. The strength of a
plywood panel, in two planes, greatly
exceeds that of steel. With some wood,
by combining cuts. it is even possible
to get greater resistance to stress in
all three planes than steel affords,
though it is rarely necessary to go so
far. Ordinary wood used for airplane
construction is not required to with
stand severe stresses in more than
two planes. What plywood means to
airplane construction is well illustrat-
ed by the De Haviland-4. Before that
method of using wood was invented
the best airplane wing rib weighed 7.9o
ounces. and was capable of sustaining
a load of only 50 pounds. Since then
the plywood rib used on the De Havi-
land weighs SIP ounces and will carry
a load of PA pOunds.-Popular Me-
chanicS Magazine.

Great Success
The concert given on Saturday even

um, by the Academy orchestra was a
great success, unsteady and socially.
/ The large and fashionable audience
was delighted with the program.
which was well chosen and ably di-
| rected by the conductor, Bandmaster
Torovslly. The piano used, was loaned
! for the occasion by the Charles NJ
Stieff Company, of Baltimore, and was
a splendid instrument. The pianist,
Adolf Torovsky, Jr. was at his best,
and his execution showed marked
skill and genius, as well as technique.
He plays with expression and that
emotional quality that marks the true
musician. The overture, by Weber,
was played in a masterful style, every
instrument being in perfect tone and
accord. Mrs. II. H. Little was in excel
lent voice and sang her best. She is
always heard with delight and appre-
citation, which was especially shown
on this occasion by the vOciferous APP
plause given her in the rendition of
La Traviata. The selection gave full
play to her cultivated voice. and show
ed her to be the true professional vo-
calist she is. giving evety opportunity
for the display of her beautiful voice.
The Naval Academy orchestra as a
uucfoul aQprcpatinn hac faxy IL any
superiors, and never played better.
The audienc gave hearty applause and
heaped encomiums upon the director
at the close of the concert, which was
delightful musical event of the sea-
son. The orchestra showed marked
improvement in the past year. 1t is
really astonishing that men who ham
die brass instruments in the band, can
attain such great musical heights with
string and wooden instruments as the
Naval Academy orchestra has done
under its efficient leadership. Much
credit is due Director Toroysky for
this most successful concert.
