PIPE NOW ORNAMENTS WALL
Indiana Man Has No Further use TOR
II as a Medium for Enjoying
Quiet Smoke.

An Indianapolis man whose WORK
keeps him in his office all day long oc-
casionally finds recreation in doing
bits of odd jobs in woodworking. For
three months he worked at spare
times. and as the spirit moved him,
at fashioning a Chinese pipe. Finally
he finished the job and took 1t to q
painter for the stains, filler and var
nish. The painter did good job, and
the pipe was beauty to behold-two
feet long, brass knob and shaped
bowl. 1t looked like mandarin's IA
yorite. He took the thing home and
in a sort of a ceremonial rite filled 1t
with his favorite tobacco, fired 1t up
and drank deeply of its dream stun.
Deeply and dream stuff is right, be-
cause about half an hour later he lay
sprawled unconscious on the floor OF
an upstairs hall until his wife revived
him with cold towels. Now he knows
all about the effects of the volatile
substances in paints and varnishes.
He also has Q beautiful Chinese pipe
smoked once, hanging on the wall.

AIaddin's Cave of Jewels Opened
by Soviet Decree.
Rare Gems Are Discovered When
Russian Church Treasures Are

Some Famous lkons.

Moscow.-An Aladdin's cave OF
Jewels has been. opened by the deci-
sion Of the soviet authorities to con-
fiscate some Of the treasures OF the
Russian churches and sell them TO
feed the famine sufferers.
The decree directs the seizure OF all
precious metals and stones, which

Of the various cults.
Most famous Of the church treas
ures. described by the Moscow news
paper. Izvestia, is the bejeweled ikon,

indicating that they have been IN ac-
tive training for an athletic team
during practically the whole OF the
scholastic year.
The average standing of midship-
man who had won one letter was 1884
in hundred, and that of 'wo-letter
man 49.11. The standing Of three-let-
ter men, however. fell to 55.14. 1t Is
now the rule at the academy that a
midshipman may join but two team
squads during the scholastic year.
A recent official investigation at
Harvard has developed about the same
conclusions, but it is believed that the
principle that properly conducted atil-
letics do not interfere with studies Is
general. The conclusions reached as
to the success of athletes in the serv-
ice, although not of such general ap-
plication, are of much interest.
It was shown that there was no
doubt at all that the athletes had q
stronger tendency to stay in the serv'
ice than their comrades in the acad
envy. An examination of the history
of all the members of certain classes
which had been in the service fol
from 25 to 30 years showed that 81
per cent of the non-athletes had be
come separated from the service. while
but 40 per cent Of the one-letter meI
and 80 per cent Of the two-letter mei
had lost their connection with 1t.
The board indicated its belief that
while the improvement of health ant
strength from athletics might have hat
something to do with this condition
the controlling factor was the attach
ment to the service engenderet

bending, he proceeded to pick up his

it. 1t remained where it was-upon
the floor. He made a second attempt
to get hold of it, but with the same
result.

Naval Academy Board Makes
Report After Scanning Rec
ords of Thirty Years.
TEND TO STAY IN SERVICE
Members of Sports Squad Likely to
Stick to Career Planned, lnvesti.
cation Shows-Same Conclu-
sion at Harvard.

Annapolis.-Facts as to the scholas-
tic work Of college athletes and their
careers in later life have probably
been developed in more thorough
and accurate manner than ever before
by a board of officers at the Naval
academy. These men have traced the
course of every academy athlete over
a period of 80 years.
It has been shown that the athletes
are slightly better students than the
other midshipmen, and that they show
a far greater permanency in the serv-
ice than the others.
The conclusions as to the scholarship
of athletes are in line with the re-
suits of similar investigations at other
institutions of learning where atm
letics are conducted on sane OASIS.
AS to the careers Of athletes IN the
service the application is more limit
ed. but it is believed by authorities
here that qualities which promote sue
cess in life in general are developed
through properly handled sports.
The board of officers was composed
of Capt. John Halligan, Commanders
Macgillivray, Milne and Douglas l..
Howard and Lieut. Everett b. Taylor,
medical corps. All but the last named
are graduates of the Naval academy
and were active athletes while there.
Captain Halligan, though captain ana
guard in the football team and mem
ber of the crew, led his class In stud
les. Commander Howard was captain
and end of the eleven.
AS q basis for its investigations the
board examined the membership OF
the classes graduated from the naval
academy during the years 1891 to 1911
inclusive. The work Of the midship'
men of these classes while at the
academy was examined and their
careers in the service were followed.
