QU1TTERS Ar ANNAPOLIS
philadelphia Evening Bulletin)

The American public, paying
taxes to support the Naval ACad-
envy at Annapolis, will open their
eyes at casual mention Of the fact
that fifteen young men out OF az }
in the gra duating class Of 1926 re-
fused their commissions in the
navy and resigned or receiving
their diplomas. o
The course CT midshipmen is
four years, ana they are paid $3.50
"a year, or $500 while attending
the academy. There are many
thousands Of young men in the
United States VINO would jump at
chance to attend, let us say, the
University of Pennsylvania, or the
Ma ssa chusetts Institute Of Tech
rologe, and be paid a salary of SIS
a week for doing so. So taxpayers
may be pardoned for wondering if
these fifteen naval cadets are to
enjoy gift of free four years
technical education, plus a bonus
Of SAG 800 in hard cash out of the
taxpayers pockets.
Under the law each candidate
for Annapolis has to sign articles
before admission by which he
binds himself to serve in the navy
of the United States during the
pleasure OF the president, unless
sooner discharged. The people of
the United States should be en-
titled fairly to either some service
or refund for salary and cost of
training from these fifteen young
men, who apparently propose to
default their contract, which was
a consideration for their educa
ton and the 1920 pay which each
CT them has received out OF the
money OF taxpayers.

THE ART OF READING

Profit and pleasure be derived greater degree
than by reading.
Closely allied to the journeys in the realm of books is
the gaining of knowledge first hand through travel But
travel something for which the average individual has
little time and, it may be said money
So of the two reading remains of losing ones
self in the far away and long ago.
The boon of bachelor is wel-fled pipe and good
book under the soft glow of ncandescent light Or at
least he has been pictured many times But in this
of radio jazz and movies is be feared that the art
reading losing its hold not only bachelors but
else.
With the modern cry of speed has the desire for
sensation Gone is the day of the tranquil enjoyment of
the great works of the masters Instead have the tale
of the pioneer west the yarn Of the Arabian desert and the
story of the business world all popuarzed through perod
Gals which have achieved an immense circulation.
Discrimination in reading lost art. We no longer
fnecomb reading material but absorb that which the
publishers find most profitable to publish evanscent stuff at
best.

WHEN YOUR FEET ARE ACHING

In the morning the feet should be
sponged off again with cold water,
and both shoes and stockings dust
ed with powder made by mixing to-
gether one part salicylic acid, two
parts of boracic acid and two parts
Of talcum.
In addition to relieving the pain
this treatment is intended to stop
disagreeable perspiration.
Tired feet are much refreshed by
being bathed in hot water. Rubbing
them with alcohol or witch-hazeI is
also restful, especially for tender
feet. This also tends to prevent
perspiration.

Scientists have been trying the
same tactics on the cotton boil wee
vii.
They found that weevil larvae
would leave the most tempting foods
and make in the direction Of cotton
buds, at distances too great for any
sense but smell.
The scientists could smell nothing
themselves, but they distilled the
buds, to concentrate their odorifer-
Gus essence. They found mixture
of several, separated these and tried
each on sample weevils. The most
attractive turned out to be one that
can be produced cheaply, from su-

SO now, having found out what
a weevil likes, they are going to use
it as bait, to entice him into traps

jewels being stolen, l could not re-
sist telling you that l am wearing
a gorgeous string of pearls given to
me by my husband-an Englishman
of wealth and position.
| have come to the conclusion,
Jack, that a woman is not necessar-

because of mistaken youth.
l am very happy. Ny husband
loves me. I am making him a good
wife, TOR l love him. And because
love him l am not going to tell you
whom have married. / hope we
will never meet until we both have
forgotten each other completely.

Japanese scientist, has transmuted mercury into gold. A mcroscopical picture of the gold, which he is said to have produced from the mercury. has been taken, it was reported.
 The process used is described as fol- lows:
 By using mercury lamp, the anode in air, for more than 2Go hours, under the electromotive force of 226 volts, Professor Nagaoka obtained about 0. 5 gram of soot from which one milligram of gold was isolated. A white metal was found in the soot which is sup posed to belong to the platinum group"
 For 15 years Professor Nagaoks has studied spectrum lines of mercury. it was stated. The Japanese scientist is connected with the Tokio Imperial University and the Institute of Phys ical and Chemical Research.
 The process by which he is said to have produced gold from mercury is similar to that used by scientists in this country and Germany to accom- plish the same result.

 is iu Seattle this week. He came south for medical treatment and on business, and expects to depart for home some time next week. Mr. Werner is an oldtime Alaska mining man, who oper- ated in Dawson, Fairbanks, Nome and in the Innoko district. He was one of the original discoverers, and he and his paItner panned the first gravel on Ophir. He was big operator there for many years.
 Kodiak, climaticallv speaking, is about the best part of Alaska, in the opinion of Mir Werner. and he says that if the New England Fish Com pany, as reported, puts in big fishing plant and station at that point Kodiak will make d very prosperous town. Indeed, it is good right now" he says, with the fishing, fox raising and other industries " He says there is a real farm near Kodiak that has thou sand head of sheep, many cattle, chick ens, etc., which raises crops and vege- tables in good shape.
 Austin Horner, who plans to install an up-to-date machine shop in Kodiak, is in Seattle purchasing the necessary plant and equipment. Mr. Horner is also an oldtime Alaskan mining man. For many years he was an engineer for Tom Aitken's dredging operations on Candle creek, in the Kuskokwim dis, trict. Horner went to Kodiak last year, took a good look, and decided that that was the place to get in busi. ness for himself.

CAPTAIN AND CREW
SCHOONER CHERIE
FREED At PORTLAND

Portland. Me-, Dec. 15.-(AP)-
Captain Henri Ducos and six mem
hers of his crew of the French
schooner Cherie were freed today by
Judge John A. Peters of the federal
district court on conspiracy indict-
ments growing out of the seizure OF
1880 cases of liquor from the craft
off Swans Island. near Bar Har-
Dor, last June. The captain and the
men were discharged by a directed
verdict, the court holding that the
vessel was beyond the three mile
limit when seized.
Judge Peters made 1t clear, how
ever, that the finding does not at
feet the libel seeking confiscation OF
the vessel, on which he said he
would make an early decision.
District Attorney Frederick K.
DYER has wired for instructions from
Washington regarding the filing OF
an appeal to the United States cir
cult court of appeals on the dis
charge of the men.
The liquor seized aboard the
Cherie on June 81 at a point about
seven miles off shore comprised the
choicest brands and the value of the
cargo has been estimated at $780,
600. Ten fishermen who testified to-
day that they made purchases from
the vessel agreed that it was good
stuff"
The seizure by federal agents was
made comparatively easy as they
were allowed on board in the belief
that they were customers. One of
the raiders was a customs inspector
and the government contended that
the boat was subject to customs seiz-
ure, being within the 12-mile limit.
