 Navy cheers and Navy songs re. sounded about the academy yester- day. The entire regiment, more than 1,600 strong, gathered In the stands and gave vent to its feelings in thunderous roars of encourage ment as the team went through dummy practice.
 A goodly portion Of the workout was devoted te Q defensive drill against Armys aerial system, with the Middies' squad unleashing every West Point. trick they know of.
 Indications today were that Coach Navy Bill" Ingram would start the same team as in the game against Michigan. It Is uncertain. however, whether Lloyd. 200 pound end. will play in the backfeld as In the Wolverine contest, when he was a prime cause of the failure Of the famous Friedman to Oosterbaan" combination.

M. Thursday. The men will have baggage car rigged up with to allow for limbering up exercises along the way.
 Althou~,, Coach Biff Jones has made no announcement, the team IS it lineup in the final heavy work out yesterday is believed the one chosen to fac Navy. Cagle, Will son, Murrell. and Harding formed the hackield, with the latter call ng signals. Born and Harbold were 1t end positions, and Daily was at center. Schmidt and Hammock held down guard positions with Sprague and Saunders at tackle.
 The cadets were all confidence. Large banners with inscribed cap tions: "Kick 'em Mule" Born get Born" referring to the Born broth ers, one an army end and the other ! Navy linesman, and Beat Navy were displayed from the cadet bar racks and from other buildings at West Point.

Twenty six thousand men will be
furnished work on the highways of
Ohio just as soon as weather Will
permit contractors to resume their
building activities. There were
S42 miles of uncompleted highway
when the winter season came on,
and since January | contracts for
Improving 1913 miles have been
awarded already. This makes a to-
tai of $50 miles of highway that
will be under course of improve
ment within the next few weeks. Of
the large force of men required for
this work, 10000 will be required
by contractors, and 5000 by the
highway departments itself in the
maintenance of more than 5000
miles of roadway. The total cost
represented by those unfinished and
new contracts is $23,671,499, With
the new contracts to be awarded, ap-
highway work will represent ap-
proximately $25,000,00O to be
spent in Ohio during the next eight
or nine months. It will be the most
active year in the entire history of
the state highway department, and
is expected to absorb all unemploy-
ed men who really want work.
The past week has been an active
one in political circles here and
hereabouts, and as result the large
hotel operators are happy. With

the coming to Columbus of several
prospective candidates for the Re-
publican nomination for governor,
there have come from the rural pre-
cincts faithful followers who want
to get in on the ground floor, or a
seat in the main reviewing stand as
the parade passes. Matters are be-
ginning to clarity, the slow but sure
process of elimination begun, and
within another week or two it will
be possible to pick the nominees.
One thing seems certain at this time
and that is that two or three candi-
dacies which managed to live
through the cold winter months
have contracted the heebie-j -jeebies,
and will soon result in elimination.
OF course the runners themselves
don't realize this, but whoever
heard of baby that recognized its
mother until time came for it's first

Physiology of the Charleston.

We have heard, writes a high
school girl who shows unusual talent
for illustrating and apparently inter-
ests herself in other arts, that dane
ing the Charleston causes heart
trouble, fallen arches and internal
disorders. My opinion of it is quite
the opposite. We would appreciate
your advice on the matter.
1t requires no very sensitive an
tenna to hear Mrs. Sumsey as she
warns up after a nip of her favorite
female tonic. warning a girls mother

Dancing is exercise, muscular exer-

question whether one with heart

dance the Charleston or any other
step is an individual one for the ply
sician to answer in each case. Peo-

If He's Really Shy.

Girls are always writing in to tell
me of some young sheik VINO attracted
their favorable attention and whom
they would like to invite to their
homes.
One and all they assure me that
they know the gentleman IN question
Is deeply interested in them. too, but
this shyness prevents his taking the
initiative and asking for a date. Now
to most of these letters l reply:
IF your hero wants to make your
acquaintance badly enough he'll think
up some way to do 1t, without your
taking the lead.
Your help may give him a panic.
He may think you're in the habit of
Turing strange boys to come out to
your house.
"He may run away and never come
back. Better let him do the asking
first. Then be just as nice as you
please"
However, there are cases where the
Romeo Is actually shy.
You girls ought to be able to Judge
for yourselves whether your man is
hanging back because of lack of real
interest or just through shyness.
If you make up your mind that the
boy is really bashful. then you may
rangement yourself.
However, you must still be cautious
Even If the man only needs encour
agement you mustn't give him too
much.
Don't make the mistake Of inviting
him to come alone to your home.
Don't give him the idea that you've
set aside a special evening for him.
That may lead to all sorts Of doubts
and fears in his mind.
Just fix up a party of four-ask
your best girl friend to bring some
boy over and then approach him
whose heart you desire to win. Tell
him that you'd like to have him make
the fourth at bridge or some other
game. Explain that a couple Of your
friends are coming over and you'd
like to have him come along, too, If
he hasn't anything else to do.
Make the invitation sound casual
and offhand. Just friendly gesture,
nothing more.
Once he's been entertained at your
home, the next move is his.
If he really wants to see you again,
he must make the suggestion. You
can't do anything but wait after
you've given one invitation.
And-if you have guessed right, and
his only trouble has been lack of con-
fidence in Observation-Disclosures he
will take the earliest opportunity to
ask to see you again.
OF course. If you've missed your
guess, you're out Of luck.
But you will feel better, in the
event Of defeat, if you haven't given
your backward boy the impression
that you were overanxious.
Truly In affairs Of this sort, the
foursome is a much better beginning
than the tWosome.

close of the search the hostess asks
each man to find the girl who has
a white cap that duplicates the one
he has. When a cap exactly fits
over another apd edges have the same
indentationS partners are secured.
This makes it necessary for the guests
to meet in jolly way and they
naturally get better acquainted.
Acting Antics
On the back of each partners cap
the hostess has written half a
sentence, and these, when put to-
gether. make sense and indicate a
stunt or antic which the couple must
do for the entertainment Of the rest
of the company. The hostess should
for the stunt. For example, one of
the white caps has on the back Fill
a teapot through the" and a col
ored one has "Spout without spilling
any water" The stunt is to fill a
teapot. pouring the warter through
the spout. One player holds the tea
pot while the other pours water down
the spout without spiling it. A tea
pot. a pitcher filled with water and
a large bowl to go under to catch
any water that may be spilled are
essential for the hostess to have ready.
Stunts Supplied.
If you have any difficulty in think
ing up stunts write to me and I will
send a list with directions how to do
them. Be sure to inclose a self
addressed and stamped envelope with
request. Direct clearly to Lydia lie

a little way back from it strong light

themselves with any hats and wraps
