DENIES LIQUOR ORGY
AMONG MIDSHIPMEN
Naval Academy. Head Says Reports
in Press Concern Old Cases
Under Inquiry.
sneci.I Disn.tcb to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, February Il
Press reports of a drinking epidemic
among midshipmen at the United
States Naval Academy here are un-
founded. according to rear Admiral
Henry 3. Wilson, superintendent or
that institution.
Four cases are pending before the
Navy Department, it was shown. all
of which occurred before Christmas.
Three midshipmen who were dis
missed on this charge six months ago
are the only others concerned.
There has been no orgy of drink
ing among midshipmen,' declared Ad-
miral Wilson today. "As matter OF
fact, this institution has for some
time been extremely free from the
use of intoxicants among the stu
dent personnel" he added.
The Academy regulations are dras-
tic and make the mere possession or
liquor by nIidshipmen grounds for
dismissal. Few of the midshipmen
have, cared to jeopardize their
careers, and drinking among them
has been reduced to the point where
it simply becomes the act of an in
dividual rather than wholesale VIOLA
ton by the student body.

The good offices of. the police were

Agriculture Head Can Enter Cot

The Secretary of Agriculture iS
given power in the agriculture ap-
propriation bill just signed by Presi-
dent Coolidge to enter into agree
ment with European cotton ex-
changes. particularly with regard to
empowering members of the arbitra-
ton committees to act for him in the
settlement of disputes.
Department of Agriculture officials
said yesterday that while the de-
partments legal advisers had held
there was ample authority under the
cotton standards act, a great benefit
would result to the cotton industry
in having all doubt removed.
There has been no effort to avoid
the decisions of the European arbi-
tration committees, but the authority
OF the Secretary had been questioned
both in Europe and in the United
States.

CONCERT is PRESENTED
BY COLLEGE OF MUSIC
String Ensemble Scores Success in
Fortieth Program at Cen
tral High School.

The pupils of the Washington Col
lege of Music Monday evening at the
Central High School gave the fortieth
in series of concerts. Two features
we're the first appearance of the
string ensemble of the college and
the first appearance in public of lit
tie Sylvia Altman, IL years old, as
piano soloist with orchestral ac-
compartment.
The string ensemble innovation
proved decidedly successful with four
hands at the piano, and the har-
moriium giving the wood wind color,
especially in the first number, Mem
delssohn's "Fingars Cave" overture,
played with excellent effect The
other numbers were the Woodforde-
Finden Indian Love Lyrics" intel
ligently played. and the Saint-Saens
LIE Deluge" prelude. for which the
violin solo was played by Rena
Greenberg.
Another innovation was the first
appearance of the repertoire class of
the college in choruses and solos
from the Chimes of Normandy.
Norman Goldman, one of the
younger violinists of Washington,
was successful in giving to the some
what hackneyed Raft "Cavatina" real
interest and value, and was heard
with much effect against the back
ground of the orchestra in Caesar r
Cuts "Orientale."- Edgar Kidwelrs
baritone numbers, three salt water
ballads by Keel, were well received.
Emily Mann and Sara Becker were
effective in brilliant piano solos.
Fritz Maile played a romance by
Stringer. instead of the number an
nounced for Flora CLAYTON. Miss
Moffat's soprano solos completed a
program of sustained interest, in
which not the least part of the en-
joyment of the audience was drawn
from the fact that the numbers car
ried the individual expression of the
performers rather than the trans
mitted technique of the instructors.

The splitting was the outgrowth Of
harsh words between the individuals,
and Kelly today is making arrange
ments to place it in this light before
the On LeonG tong leaders, with a
view to having them seek out the in
dividual responsible, SO that an
apology can be had.
Ching succeeded G. II. Lee as chief
of the Hip Sings in Washington.
Formally Of Reporting.
There will be the formality Of re-
porting the occurrange to the head Of
fees of the respective tongs. but
through the use of the good offices of
the Police Department no outbreak is
feared. Police feel assured that the
On Leong faction will readily con-
sent to settling the matter through
diplomatic police channels.
So Kelly and Scrivener are sitting
in strange positions today. Well
known for their work in fights and
battles against crime and criminals.
they have become recognized guard
ians of Chinatown's dove of peace.

port of the institution shows that

sure that you use smooth-jawed wise
In many cases it is difficult to obtain
such vises. 1t is a simple matter,
however, to render the jaws harm
less. All that is necessary is to tie
several thicknesses Of cloth around
the jaws of the wise, as shown in Fig
/, placing the cloth over the jaws and
fastening it in place with several
turns of Irvine.
Drilling Panel Hints.
Some panel materials chip very
easily when they are drilled unless
great care is taken against such a
thing happening. One method which
can be used is that Of backing the
panel UP with a piece of wood, so
that when the drill goes through the
panel it runs on to the wood, which
acts as support for the weak edges
and prevents chipping. Another
method is to drill through first with
a small drill, about No. 81 to Al, and
then later use a larger drill, drilling
half way in from one side first and
then drilling in the opposite direction
from the other side.
Nickel-plated screws and nuts al
ways give a finished appearance to a
set. You may use the very best of
parts in an effort to get a set that
looks like million dollars, but if YOU
slight the seemingly small item of
nickelplated screws and nuts, the ap-
pearance of the set will suffer and
stamp it as a homemade job.
Cost of Screws Low.
The cost of having the screws nickel
plated, If you cannot get them already
nickelplated, is very small. Any
nickelplater, whose name and adj.
dress you can find in the local classi
fled telephone directory, will do the
job for you.
Wherever possible, countersunk
holes with fiat head or oval head ma.
chine screws should be used. The
use of oval head screws is especially
desirable, because they improve the
appearance of the set considerably
The oval head screw is a cross be-
tween, the fiat-head and round-hea
type of screw, as you may see by re-
ferrins to Figs =.
A little care and very little added
expense will take your set out of the
slapped class and bring 1t
into the factory-made classification

What Tomorrow Means to You
Taurus.
BY MARY BLAKE

Taurus.
The planetary aspects of tomorrow
are not very favorable for Sun
day, but if you are determined to
be tolerant and patient, much good
can be obtained out of the day, al
though there Is nothing to urge you
to attempt anything out OF the or"
binary. The disposition that you
would experience to be fault-hnding
and critical can be easily overcome by
the exercise of a little will and
strength of character. and as the
planetary conditions cannot help you
it were well TO be on your guard to
help yourself, SO that there will be
a day of no regrets.
A child born tomorrow will be
strong and lusty, and will astonish
everybody, not only by its strength
but by its endurance. Its disposition
will be boisterous, it's character will
be assertive without being overbear-
ing, and it will have a personality
that will endear it to all. 1t will not
be very studious, but will always
excel in all sport and pasttimes. 1t
will be as good loser as it will be
a winner. This child will show alb
normal love for the outdoor life, and
IL should be encouraged along these
lines and it's activities not confined
within four walls.
II tomorrow is your birthday, you
have very deliberative nature, and
are always anxious to find out the
why's and the wherefores before you
take any action or embark on any
fresh course. You are quiXotically
honest and punctilious, and being SO,
excuse no lack of these qualities in
others with whom you have relations
You are in this respect rather in
tolerant, and have estranged many by
this unjustfiable attitude. 1t is nat
ural, of course, that you should feel
this way toward those who do not
act on the square, but, on the other
hand, a little consideration, a little
thought for the feelings of others will
add not only TO your own peace of
mind, but to others comfort. Your
home life presents every opportunity
for enjoyment and pleasure. But be
cause of the high standard you have
set for yourself. you are always crit
ical of those who do not live up to
this standard. and therefore, do not
get out of your family life that en-
joyment TO which you are entitled.
Well known people born on this date
are: Lot NJ. Morrill,, former Governor
of Maine; William Proctor, pharma-
cist and educator; William l.. Wilson,
