LLOYD AND WILSON
TOP NAVY ATHLETES

Leading candidates for the Navy Ath-
letic Association sword, awarded each
year to the nidshipmen who has made
the best all-around showing in athletics,
are few.
The most prominently mentioned for
the honor are Russell Lloyd, New Jer-
sey, a member of the second class, and
Thomas r. Wilson, Michigan, who will
graduate in June.
The work done by these two athletes
during the Winter and Spring will de-
eide.
Lloyd, who weighs 200 pounds and
has much athletic ability along several
lines, completes his third season OF var
sity foot ball and basket ball this year
so that he will be limited to field and
track next season.
Wilson, weighing 205 pounds and 6
feet and 4 inches in height, has also
had three years of foot ball. The other
sports in which Wilson has engaged are
wrestling and base ball.

 But it is the progress of Porto Rico and the Porto Ricans since the advent of the United States, barely quarter of century ago, that furnishes the most engaging and inspiring chapter in the history of the island.
 Under the American regime, the amount 6f sugar exported has in- creased sevenfold: coffee exports have doubled in quantity and trebled in value, and tobacco shipments have likewise scored marvellous gains.
 When the United States took over Porto Rico the fruit industry, as such. was unknown. Today the island ships annually millions of dollars worth of the finest pine apples. grapefruit. and similar pro- ducts to distant markets.
 The drive against illiteracy and ignorance and the fight against sickness and death have been mark ed by triumphs that two decades ago would not have been thought possible.

San Juan. one of the finest in the Western Hemisphere, has been d1edged to depth of 35 feet and will enjoy ever- increasing importance as a coaling station for the transatlantic routes to the Panama Canal.

 For tropical land, the winter climate is unusually free from ex- cessive heat, and the abundant rain- fall over most of the island give vegetation a perennial luxuriance. Since it lies in the path of the trade winds. with it's mountains in the central portion of the island, the humidity is rarely oppressive.
 ''The mountain scenery is wild and beautiful. The main range, known as the Cordillera Central, runs from east to west, with slopes sweeping over wide area toward the north and rising sharply from the south. leaving in the latter direction an al-. luvial plain only 10 to Is miles wide between the peaks and the sea.

fact that In November the voters will

material will be incidental to what is

not fail to have its effect.
It is a standing reproach to the
American people that so few of them
exercise the privilege and discharge
the duty Of voting. The statistics OF
elections show that mnorities actually
determine. This is due In some meas
ure to the fact that In the Solid

dominant party on election day are as
rule smaller than those cast in the
