n YEW YORK, December 20
West Point isn't anxious to
u cut adrift from the Naval
/ Academy gridiron, but Army
supporters here are making 1t
clear they prefer to see the annual
service foot ball battle scrapped rather
than discard its whole athletic sys'
tenn. of which the present eligibility
code is fundamental part.
In a nutshell that Is considered
the Army point of view in connection
with the present break in relations
and the prospect that there will he
no Army.Navy game next season or
for some time to come, unless there Is
an about.face at either West Point
or Annapolis.
Just now no compromise seems like.
ly. despite the fact that there also is
an undercurrent Of feeling that the
door has not altogether been barred to
a get-together. This undercurrent has
gained impetus from the presence
here this week of Army as we'll as
Navy foot hall coaches and officials
gathering with gridron men from all
parts of the country for annual pow
WOW over the game and rules.
Breach Appears Wide.
But if there Is any immediate basis
on which the two academies can get
together again it hasn't bobbed to the
surface. Both appear firm in their point
OF view--West Point that its present
standards are justified and based on
common. sense; Navy that 1t Is time
the Army adopted the same eligibility
code as colleges.
Army men. however. feel that they
have some rebuttal coming, in view
of the publication, from official An.
napolis sources, of detailed statistical
records of Army's foot ball squad.
These military men. it seems. do not
like the mathematics employed by the
naval branch of the services. Instead
OF subscribing to the Nays claim
that the better share of the 1927 Army
gridiron squad averaged IS years in
competitive college experience, they
produce figures to show that the aver
age was only 3.6 years, including the

| "Why Diana!"
"I never dreamed it, old thing"
Marion alone refused to be rap
turous.
I'm not at all surprised" she said.
Well, hope you'll be happy"
"But you don't expect me to be,"
Diana thought, resentfully.
Elizabeth cooed from the head
of the table, seeming more pigeon
like than ever.
"Show the girls your ring, daugh-
ter. We think it is very lovely"
Self satisfaction oozed to the
surface Of her voice. 1t annoyed
Diana. She had no idea that this
luncheon, with its sugar hearts and
fat pink cupids was salving an old
wound that her sister had made.
Arthur came before the guests
had left. He was greeted excitedly
yet, Diana was pleased to note with
awe.
1t was obvious that they consid-
cred him different" From out
side" She was a lucky girl.
"Glad it's over?" questioned Ar
thur, when all the guests had gone

Elizabeth beamed.
ct thought it was. Were you
sorry we didn't order the heart
shaped ice cream? 1t seemed to me
a little too much. The bells were
newer"
Diana agreed, absently. She was
wondering how soon Marion would
tell Louis and what he would say.
Not that it mattered, of course!
Tonight" Elizabeth continued,
I'm going to leave you two young
things alone. want to go over and
tell our pastors wife. The poor
thing has been so lonely since her
husband died. BY the way, Arthur,
she is thinking of moving back to
San Francisco. They used to live
there"
Diana was amused at Arthur's
courteous reply. The information
could have no possible interest for
him.
After dinner, Elizabeth, rosily
complacent, set out upon her de-
lightful errand. Diana swung laz-
lily. Arthur sat in her mothers
chair, smoking. From time to time
both glanced at the ring, shining on
the girls slender finger; Arthur with
pride; Diana, doubtfully. She had
definitely committed herself by an
nouncing her engagement, she began
to wonder If she had made q mis-

CLEARS UP A LINGERING
COUGH

A lingering irritable cough Is not
so good. 1t reveals wrong condi-
ton. But that wrong condition will
quickly yield to the peculiar healing
qualities of Foley's Honey and Tar
Compound, a true cough remedy of
proven medicinal value. From 651
e. 46th ST., Chicago: "A stubborn,
lingering cough worried me, kept me
awake, tired me out, but it quickly

assured me 1t would" Always de-

Before they had finished break
fast, Arthur was calling from his
room at the hotel.
"Good morning, sweetheart VIII
you have lunch with me today?"
She had been right. This new
relationship was to change her
entire life. -.
They lunched at Walnut Inn.
Diana, proudly conscious of the
fact that she was an engaged girl.
IT have wired about your ring"
Arthur explained. 81 told them to
send several so we can choose"
Diana had not thought of a ring.
1t would be fun to wear diamond.
But if she wore it every one would
know. She explained this to Ar
thur.
That's what we want, isn't it?
There Is no secret about it. I should
like to be married in month"
"Oh no! That's too soon."
"Why is it? You haven't any
thing to do that will take any
longer than that"
A month"; Only month to pre-
pare for the greatest adventure of
her life!
IT couldn't, possibly" Diana re-
peated.
Arthur was disappointed.
"But, sweetheart, I've explained
to you that I can't be away later in
the year. If we go east on our
honeymoon"
But I have always wanted
Christmas wedding" Diana said,
childishly.
She felt awkward and Ill at ease
when they discussed their future.
For q moment she was afraid she
was going to cry.
He came to the rescue, CALAMITY.
"Then a Christmas wedding, it
shall be. I won't be selfish about
it.
His tone even more than his
words treasured her.
The rings came. Elizabeth was
delighted with the size and beauty
of the stones. Diana did not care
for diamonds but she thought any
girl would have been thrilled to
have Arthur select the most beau
tiful one and kiss it on her finger.
Now everyone will know that
you belong to me-"
The possessiveness in his voice
both excited and irritated her. She
wanted to take the platinum circle
with its glittering heart of fire and
fling it back to him. 1t was a SYM
b0ll-an open sign of Arthur's claim.
Instead, she lifted her lips obedi-
emily. Her reasoning was obviously
contradictory. Something seemed
warning her to escape while there
was yet time. Another deeper in
stinct urged that only through mar
riage would she obtain the freedom
she desired. Life with Arthur would
be no slavery. 1t would be a de-
lightful, whimsical adventure. {.
Yet Diana sighed.
Elizabeth gave a luncheon to an
nounce the engagement. Heart
shaped sandwiches, tied with pink
ribbons; tiny china cupids; pink
heart-shaped cakes; and frosted
ice cream wedding bells. The girls
were Simply thrilled to death"
