SeUen Wells? Just One

The dance of the seven wells
might be part of the ritual of the
old Puritan church if the ladies
wore seven scarfs like some being
shown in Indianapolis stores.
One OF the scarfs, as photo
graphed on Miss Mary Virginia
Aldridge, Ayres model, would be
more raiment than encaSes the
average flapper. Put seven of 'em
on f1apper and she'd be unable
to walk.

1t has been stated on the most re-
liable authority that the naval bill,
which was signed by the President last
Monday, which incidentally changes
the status of various enlisted men at
headquarters Marine Corps, this city
providing that they desire to change
their status from that of an enlisted
status in the corps to that of civil
service status, will approximately mean
the transfer of about so per cent of
the enlisted strength now on clerical
detail to civil service status. Excerpts
from the bill read as follows: Provided,
That the total number of enlisted men
on duty at Marine Corps headquarters
on the date of approval of this act shall
not be increased. and in lieu of en-
listed men whose services at such
headquarters shall be terminated for
any cause prior to July /, 1929, their
places may be filled by civilians, for
the pay of whom, in accordance with
the classification act of 1923, either
or both the appropriations, Pay, Ma
rine Corps and General Expense,
Marine Corps. shall be available"
Hitherto the above paragraph has
been a bugaboo to the entire enlisted
clerical force attached to headquarters
of the corps, this city, but the inser-
tions of the words may be filled by
civilians" leaves the entire matter in
each individuals case to the discretion
of the authorities of the corps, and
much uncertainty hitherto felt by those
concerned is now supplanted by feel
ing Of security till at least the passage
of new naval Dill at the next session
of Congress.
