provided by the Washington confer
ence treaties, according to the report
made by Admiral Ccontz, its com
mander. The two main lessons learned
were that the fleet is unable to
maneuver as a unit at a speed Of even
ten knots, because of the slOwness of
the auxiliary vessels, and that the sub
marines completely failed TO function
for feet work. The admiral makes
many recommendations designed to
remedy conditions, these including con-
struction Of airplane carriers, subma-
rine and destroyer tenders. new cruis-
erS, modern submarines, destroyer
squadron leaders and airplanes for use
with the fleet. The report also ad-
viseS that eight of the older battleships
be modernized, including an increase
in the elevation OF the turret guns on

duce the disparity in range thai now
exists between our fleet and those of

STILL MT. RAINIER

In The June 10th issue of Cur

of Mount Rainier with this cap
ton: Mount Tacoma now-not

this wording Until recently it
had two names-Mont Tacoma,
and Mount Rainier. The park
will now be known as Mount

has enacted law which has made

ton, On May %, 1924, the Pub

of Representatives voted to refer
the resolution to change the name
of Mount Rainier, which was
given to it 1872 years ago by Cap
tain Vancouver on his voyage of
discovery, to the National Geo
graphic Board, a disinterested
body of thirteen distinguished
public servants, which, by presi-
dental order in 1906, was desig-
mated to handle disputes of this
kind. The people Of the state Of
Washington, outside Of Tacoma,
are perfectly willing to abide by
the decision of this neutral and

who will decide the question on
its merits. No one is calling it

 Modern Innovations
 There is supper at the nearest church or town hsll, whereat the weary riders are toasted in lemonade. After wards comes the grand ball, begun by the royal set" in which the victors, Rowena, the six maids of honor have the floor all to themselves.
 It was much the same in the past. It is the same today, yes, but with what innovations and sideliehts. The ven Gors of refreshments do not cry vension pies and ale, they sell orange pop and hot dogs. Many of the knights wear worn knickers, old, soiled shirts and cloth caps. Gentlemen bet merely money, whereas in earlier years they were wont to put up serfs and slaves. At La Plata, may the ghost of Sir Walter Scott forgive her, a girl rode and rode well. And at Easton, on the eastern shore, they tilted last summer in flivvers!
 The kings and earls who presided at the genuine tournaments no doubt told the folks what great men they were when they delivered the charge to the knights. But it is hardly possible that they went as far as the small town poli- tician of today How they do rant and carry on!
 In spite of that. however, the tourna- ment as it exists today in Maryland and Virginia is charming and whole some entertainment. The setting is usually lovely enough to compensate for much, and there is a spirit of cheer full hospitality good to feel.
 Take the tournament held last year at Old Herring Creek church.
 This beautiful little building was dedicated in 1765. It is deep in the country, the equal of which, Mary flanders believe, is found nowhere on earth.

, KIPLaNG WOULDN'T LECTURE

Author Recalled. Trying Ordeal Of : Lord Weave And Refused Offers
 Rudyard Kipling was once besought by an American agent to lecture in the United States. Though large returns were promised him, Mir. Kipling's "No" was positive. He said that, whenever he contemplated a lecture tour he re- membered with horror the case of Lord 4r Lord Neave," he explained, "once went to Leven to lecture on Modern Novels and Novelists.' An unfortunate accident marked the opening of the lec- tJlre. Two candles in brackets were at- tached to the reading desk and as Lord Weave took his manuscript from his pocket he gave sudden jerk of the head and in an instant his wig was on fire. 19T 'aThree or four members of the audi sehce dashed upon the platform, but Lord Weave had already pulled off the wig, thrown it on the floor and tram piled out the flames. A man stopped and handed it to him. He adjusted it very hurriedly, and in doing so knocked off his glasses. He bent down to regain them and his false teeth dropped out.
 Another man picked up the glasses and the teeth. Lord Weave took them, turned his back on the audience and liked them in place. Then he began his lecture, his charred wig all awry. 2 !. "As for the lecture, nobody under stood a word of it. The fact was that Lord Weave had brought the wrong manuscript with him. Instead of the witty lecture con Modern Novels and 44Noyelists' he had brought a learned treatise on the Greek Second Aorist. which he had read the day before to the students of Edinburgh university. 1t was his start on discovering this mistake of his, he said afterwards, which caused the burning of his wig and the series of disasters that fol- iowed."-Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.

 The little red brick church nestles in grove of noble trees, trees covered with carved initials, trees which over hang messy, red brick graves of for gotten men.
 For generations the church was light ed by oil lamps, so dim that evening services could not be held. The proceeds from last years tournament were to pay for the installation of electric lamps.
 A Chorus Survival
 The chuSch serves a small congre- gation, a congregation that is scattered. But there was crowd at the tilting. Many came from all parts of the state. many of them were prominent in poli- tics and in society. Governor Ritchie was lord of the tourney.
 In a short, simple-worded speech the governor reminded the knights of the duties which, performed, maintain vir- tue in virtuous men. The knight of Lo- cust Grove, the knight of Buzzard's is. land, the knight of the Galloping Goose ran their course in a right knightly way. The girls chosen by the victors were worthy to uphold the reputation of Maryland for feminine beauty.
 White tables were spread under, the cool, spreading trees in the twilight. There was much good talk under the gasoline flares and much chivalric love- making beyond the torches glare, in the moonlight. In the soft light, in the aft erglow of the days pleasure, the berib- boned cavaliers with their swords and drinking horns and lovely, laughing women, seemed not so very far in the past.
 Yes, it is curious survival of a van- ished age, this tilting It is strange and amusing and bit absurd in this day of the automobile and airplane. Yet it is somehow inspiring. There is little spontaneous gayety in the merrymak- ings of today, it is inspiring to find people gathering for the natural, solid pleasures of companionship, to see them admiring sport free from the hustle, the terrific pace,l the partisan spirit, the throat-cutting competition which char acterize so many American pastimes. Slow the tournament may be. to the taste of the man who lives in the city. It has in it, nevertheless, the solid ele- ments of wholesome enjoyment.
 How long will it survive? How long will it withstand the competition of the automobile, of baseball, of jazz? It will survive as long as the Maryland coun- try gentleman and his Virginia neigh bor value tradition, as long as they breed fine horses in the Green Spring Valley and raise horsemen to ride them.

PUT AUTO TO WORK

Most people regard ants as a nuisance especially in a garden or at a picnic. but the natives of Burma have found a use for them.
 This country grows and eports sandal-wood, one of the most valuable and beautiful timbers in the world. The greater part of every tree felled is useless, however, for only the fragrant scented heart has any commecial value, and to transport the whole log would make even that not worth the cost removal.
 So the trees, after being stripped of their branches, are allowed to lie where they ahve fallen. The soft, sappy wood, which is. useless in commerce, attracts the billions of. ants who infest the forest, and to whom it is a tit-bit. In helping themselves the ants help the sandalwood merchant, for they leave the hard heart of the trunk stripped of all its worthless integument, and thus do for nothing the wok of many human laborers.-Answers, London,
