If a girl does not have to en-
ter the business world she is
generally called upon to make
a choice of roads when it comes
to marriage. How we long to
impart wisdom and to urge her
not to be hasty-not to seek
riches above other things, not to
enter into such a holy estate
hastily and unadvisedly.
Love is generally the best
guide but there are many things
to consider. You not only make
or mar your own life but that of
others. Indeed the choice is
difficult and we need the guild
ance of our Heavenly Father,
we need the courage of our con-

more alluring for the one who
follows behind. If there are

THERE COMES A TIME IN
OUR LIFE.

There comes a time in every
life when two roads stretch out
before us and it is for us to de-
eide which we take.
Some times the roads are so
very much alike there seems to
be no chOice-rather toss of
the coin is to which to travel.
More often one road beckons
and allures because of grassy
slopes, of flowers that strew the
way, of what seems to lie ahead.
1t is human nature to choose the
brightest and best. There is
an unborn selfishness that
makes us want the brightest
and easiest. As for what tho
goal is at the end we cannot
often be the judge.
Many times the flowcry path
is deceptive and the rocky road
gets better further on and as
we surmOunt obstacles and
overcome the stronger and bet
ter, the Drawer.
When school days are over,
the young man must choose the
road he is to take. He needs
wisdom and guidance for so
much depends on his chosen ca
reer or profession. If he has
only in view which road will
lead to the most money, he is
not apt to make a success in
life, for money is not the. chief
end and aim of existence.
If we could instill into our
young people to take the road
that will make them most useful
citizens, the most hopeful OF
their fellow creatures, how
beautiful we could make the
world in which we live. It may
be doctor, lawyer, merchant
minister-it matters not which

briars we can lift them aside
for other feet. If there are
stones we can roll them aside.
Though you may go to the left
and another to the right for the
ways of people must sever, if we
keep a conscience and an honest
purpose, we steer clear of dam
gers that beset the path and re-
move obstacles for the other we
shall all meet at the end of the
Kings highways.-Ex.

characteristic of the rapidly

its axis of spin or plane of ro-
tation rigidly in any direction.

the waves tends to roll the ship,
the spinning gyroscope, being
dislodged from its vertical

poses this rolling action by an
equal force. The big wheel tits

NAVY SCANDAL
GETS ATTENTION
SENATE COMMITTEE CON-
DENNIS IN SEVERE TERMS
METHODS USED BY OFFICERS
IN DETECTING THOSE GULL
rY OF IMMORAL PRACTICES.

naaioritv and Democratic minority
members of the senate naval SUD-
committee which investigated the
war time scandal among enlisted
men at the Newport, R. l., training
station in reports made public today
agree in condemning in severe terms
the methods used by the navy in de-
tecting those at the station guilty OF
Immoral practices.
The only outstanding point in diff
ference in the two reports consists
in the responsibility Of former Sec
retary Daniels and former Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt for the use OF
naval enlisted men as participants IN
the immoral practices in order to OBJ
tain evidences against offenders. The
majority report, signed by Senators
Ball, Delaware and Keyes OF New
Hampshire, holds that the methods
used were with the knowledge OF
both the secretary and the assistant
secretary and declares the latter to
be morally responsible for the IN
structions issued in the matter.
The minority views presented by
Senator King, of Utah, in the form
Of an accompanying statement to the
majority report, contends the wnole
matter was conducted, without the
knowledge of either Of the naval de-
partment chiefs.
"The inference and statements
and inuendoes that Mr.. Roosevelt or
Mr.. Daniels knew Of these methods, ),
the minority report asserts, ARE
wholly without justification and do a
great injustice to the persons men
toned"
With respect to the methods EN-
ployed, the report says: -.
s'That the methods employed in
securing evidence by some Of the en-
listed personnel were abhorrent and
call for the severest condemnation
none can deny. The condemnation OF
the majority committeeman Of these
methods meets my approval.
The record of the subcommittee IS
investigation is said by the minority
to show that the naval ofiders who
prepared the plans for the vice cam
paign conducted by Lieut.. Erasmus
N. Hudson of the medical corps "did
not have the slightest idea that sea.
men were to employ improper meth
dds in securing evidence Of moral
delinquencies or other crimes"
Captain Leigh, an adviser Of Mr.
Roosevelt, and the judge advocate
general approved the organization
and prepared the necessary orders
fer its creation and to authorize its
operation" the minority report as.
serts. IT believe that the officers re-
ferred to erred in recommending OF
approving the use Of enlisted per
sonnel and also q. believe that Mr.
Roosevelt erred in adopting and ap
proving their recommendations"
The minority report disagrees EN-
phatically with contentious Of thu
majority that MIR. Roosevelt was
present at conferences at which the
methods to be used. were discussed
and asserts that orders involving il
coming to his desk were signed as s
matter of routine. The minority
agreed in substance with the find
ings Of the naval court of inquir!
which investigated the scandal.
