HAVING DEFINED BY ADMIRAL WILSON OF
 U. s. NAVAL ACADEMY
WASHINGTON BUREAU THE AGE-HERALD

The United States Naval academy at Annapolis has had two recent scandals. Now 1t has only one. For whereas. 1t Is yet to be determined who was responsible for the drink ing of liquor by cadets following the Army-Navy game last month (and the identity of that generous but possibly too forward youth who oe- fered his flask to the Secretary of the Nayy), there is no longer any question about the hazing scandal.
 It is over. Bruce Robinson of Arf- zona. and Stuart Hawkins of Massa- ckusetts, have been dismissed, and Thomas Casy of. Massachusetts and Thomas Boyce of Indiana have been set back one class for gross neg lect of duty"
 Admiral Henry B. Wilson, in charge of the academy, has drawn up a statement In which he sets out in concrete language not only what is but what is not hazing. He makes that statement public as follows:
 "Hazing is--Corrections made In a loud or overbearing tone of voice, questions of q personal nature UT upper classmen requiring reeitations from lower classmen; requiring tho performance of any personal service; laying of hands on lower classmen to enforce corrections; requiring lower classmen to perform any physical or other exercise: ordering lower classman to assume an exaggerated military position; limiting articles

ment of distribution to existing mar kets, both as to time and to place. It means the avoidance of glutting one market while another is starving for the goods It mems the develop ment and use of storage methods to carry over such portions of the crop as cannot be disposed of Immediately at any given time.
 It means the constant creation of new markets, new places where the goods can be sold as well as the de- velopment of new uses It means the development of manufacturing pro- cesses and uses for y-products. It means, as I indicated at first, every thing that tends 10 increas the total consumption of the product.
 And above all. merchandising in cludes that complete and slSillful generalship over the distribution Of the product which has for it's aim the gradual feeding of the commodity to the markets only so fast as the markets will absorb it and in a way that will tend to maintain as steady a price level as possible.
 This process, requiring the com pletcst knowledge of market condi- tions and the highest type of skill is nothing more nor less than the positive antithesis of the dumping evil which the whole system Is de- signed to remedy. A wise control over the flow of the general supply of q product to the market means that, once 1t becomes general, the prices of farm products will be de- termined by the balance of supply and demand at the point of con sumption. as is the case with other merchandise today, and not by the balance of wildly fluctuating demand at point of consumption against a known supply for the year at the point of production It is this last state of affairs which gives Us the absurd and narrowing fluctuations from month to month, from week to week, and even from day to day. in such I product, for example, as cot ton. whose real value cannot possibly change within 24 hours to the ex- tent that it sometimes appears to change in our market quotations.
