INTERPRETATIONS of Various
Programs at Kiwanis

Or. c. c. Carstens Of New York
director of the Child Welfare League
OF New York, addressed members OF
the kiwanis club at its noon-day
luncheon today.
Or. Carstens emphasized the inter.
relations of various features of. the
general social program being advo.
Gated in the county, in the proven
ton of dependency, of neglect and of
delinquency.
If you have a good health pro-
gram-no typhoid, no tuberculosis
you may not have much dependency. -"
he said. IF the fathers and mothers
OF children live it will reduce the
delinquency. since the absence of a
mothers care, because of her work Or
death. is a great factor in increasing
delinquency of children.
If you have Fairgrounds, like
wise, he said, you may find fewer
dclinQucnts.
Inc whole program of community
activity should be based upon the
thought that the children will get
the best of it. nc said.

MRS. MANN WILL
SEEK PLACE ON
SCHOOL BOARD

Mrs. George ID. Mann has announc-
ed her candidacy for member of the
Board of Education to succeed ID. T.
Owens who is retiring. Representa-
tives OF several women's organiza-
tons have asked her to seek election
to this position. They based their
requests upon what appears to be a
demand that mother be a men,ber
OF that board
A year ago the women planned on
ming candidate but because of the
fact that the Roosevelt school was
under construction and other mat
ters of unfinished business were
pending, it was deemed wise not to
oppose any of the ola board.
Assurances were given then BY
many interested in the welfare of the
schools that when the next vacancy
arose that support would be given
the candidacy of woman.

TO place high steel fence around

Much Of the success OF the party
was due to Mrs. E. H. Light, who

Pretty decorations were used
about the stage where the North
Star Music Makers rendered ex-
cellent music. A number of new
features were introduced in the

cellent solo numbers.
The lights were softened by wis
terra shades and American flags
were used effectively in the decor
atlng scheme. "A bower was ar
ranged in one corner of the room
where two little maidens and
youths presided at the punch bowl
in Colonial costume. The Misses

immortal ''Mikado." Next week the
offering will be THE Prince of

Mr.. Hopper has long since at.

The Mikado" would fall flat were
not Hopper in the clownish role of
KO-ko. During the past thirty
years no Gilbert and Sullivan
opera has been complete without
his presence in the cast.
1t might be of interest to note
that since Monday night the role
Of Katisha has been essayed by

Hopper is here to stay as long
as Washington music enthusiasts
will let him. We hope 1t will be a
long while before he folds up his
tents and departs.

NAVAL ACADEMY
COMMANDMENT
UNDER FIRE
Discharges of Faculty Mem
bers Said to Be in Vio-
Iation Of Law

Charges that Rear Admiral Henry
B. Wilson, superintendent of the
Annapolis naval academy, is guilty
of violation Of law in Diminishing
twenty.one civilian professors and
instructors at the institution were
freely heard at the Capitol today. =
When Secretary OF the Navy VIII.
bur returns from the Republican
convention at Cleveland, the matter
will be taken UP with him i'm.
mediately by Congressman Edward
E. Denison and other members of
the House Naval Affairs committee.
Admiral Wilson is discharging
some of the best professors" said
Congressman Denison today. "ie
has violated the laws and acts OF
Congress and has dishonored his
own word to the appropriations conf
nlittee of the House.
HE recommended the cut in ap-
preparations which he now declares
to be responsible for the dismissal
OF the professors. He told the COM
noittee that under the reduced an
preparation he would not discharge
any professors having contracts, but
let out only those not having con.
tracts. But he has absolutely vic.
lated the sacred word he gave to
the committee, and is discharginR
some of the best professors, who
have contracts"
Many of the professors to be dis.
missed have had long service at An.
napolis, it is said. 1t is claimed
that discrimination is clearly shown
in their cases, some having been dig
charged without the customary six
months notice. Among those slated
to go are Professor Paul e. GoInot,
modern language department, with
twenty years service to his credit;
Associate Professors Joseph e. Mar.
tel and G. B. Laguardia. Assistant
Professors Luis Hera, Daniel Jor.
