HAS THE NICKEL SMOKE PASSED GUT

-~ The Connecticut tobacco growers propose to fix
Gae price of their product.
Contracts have been received by the Connecticut
Valley Tobacco Association totang more than $4,000
acres The total stalk cut acreage of association
members in Connecticut and Massachusetts is only
1895, that the acreage signed up more than as
sures the formation of a statewide cooperative to-
bacco farmers association by which the farmer will
market their crops at stipulated uniform price after
she manner of the California fruit growers
The move has been long time in arriving, but it
lis here at last.
The result undoubtedly will prove favorable to
the tobacco growers but it may raise the price Of the
ive-eent cigar. Any added expense naturally will be
passed along to dear old ultimate consumer, but
ny as he is of exploitation, perhaps he will not mind
provided nothing is added to the freight by the mid
dEeman and the tobacco growers benefit by the move
The nicke smoke, once so popular, today is al
most unknown to men in even ordinary circumstances
SO any upward price will hit the poor alone, which
would be regrettabe So far as the growers are con-
cened they contend they have not received the worth
of their product the work and investment considered
in any part of the country, though the price Of the
snake has been steadily mountitnng.

RECENT CHANGES
IN NAVAL ACADEMY
Coordination Of Work In Aca
demic Departments And
Emphasis On Problems"
APTITUDE FOR SERVICE

In the course of reorganizing the
Naval Academy steps have been taken
10 revise, modernize and coordinate
the work of the different academic de-
partments. Naval science has made
rapid strides in recent years and in
an effort to keep up, the Naval Acad-
emy courses have become somewhat
oVercrowded. The plan is. by CO.
ordination and a careful assignment
OF time. to tighten section room work,
so as to permit thoroughness in the
fundamentals. To assist in the ac-
complishment of this purpose. the
standard of entrance requirements To
the Naval Academy is being raised
and the certificate method introduced
IN conjunction with examinations. 50
that when the new system is in COM
piete operation all candidates will be
required to have had the equivalent of
good high school education before
entering the Academy.
The work of the First Glass has
been broadened, so that the transition
from mldshipman to commissioned of
ficer may be less abrupt. 1t was
found that the one period allotted to
modern languages during the second
term OF the first class year was not a
good investment of time. This has
been taken away and given to the De-
partment of Seamanship, permitting
the addition in that department of a
course in elementary leadership, ele-
mentary strategy and elementary tao
tics. The language work during
fourth class summer has been in
creased, so this change does not work
to the disadvantage of the Depart
ment of Modern Languages.
Without changing the total of time
allotted respectively to Navigation
and History, an interchange has been
made by which Navigation is taught
all of second class year instead OF
only the latter half, and the European
History course transposed from the
second class year to the first term OF
first class year. This permits Navi-
cation to profit more by the summer
cruise; and at the same time enables
the midshipmen to graduate with a

the producing field, Mr.. Hoover de-
claTed that any agreement between
the operators looking toward the
fixing of the price of coal even in the
public interest would he illegal and
therefore he asked the individual op-
eratcrs to agree with him upon a rea-
sonatle price for coal in their respec-
tive districts.
The commerce secretary suggested
the immediate appointment of com
mittees TO advise with him upon a
tare price for coal in their respec-
tive districts. He also asked that
these committees should continue in
existence and report TO him after the
determination of fair price, cases
of unfair prices in their districts. and
act at his request as might lie nee
essary to meet such cases.
Mr.. Hoover told the several hundred
representatives of union and non
union producers present that the con-
ference had been called by him at the
request of President Harding to con-
suit as to what means might prop
erly 10 taken to prevent the soaring
of coal prices during the present coal
