WASHINGTON WEEK
 WAS SPICY ONE
Many Events Take Place in
 Nations Capital

Washington. April 20. R-Wash- ington has had spicy week socially and one crowded with big events such as the opening of the United States Congress. the annual Congress of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, the open ing of the base ball season and three performances of the Metropolitan Grand Opera company.
 These" events only afforded a background for dozens of smaller but scarcely less important affairs. The President and Mrs. Hoover, Vice President Curtis, and the members Of the Cabinet and their ladies turn cd the opening of the baseball sea- son at the National League park into quite an administration affair. The ladies of this distinguished were SO bundled in furs as to be al- most beyond recognition. Mrs. Hoov- CT wore dark fur coat with deep collar turned high about her throat and small dark felt hat. She was as enthusiastic over the ball game as was the President.
 Mrs. Hoover was the most con- spicuous figure at the opening night of the Metropolitan Opera company when "Manon." was presented before a distinguished audience. She has so many intimates in the Cabinet that society was wondering who would occupy the White House box with her. Eentering after the first act was almost over she was accompanied by the Attorney General and Mrs. Will liam D. Mitchell and Mr. William Henry and Mrs. Jean Large, her uncle and sister.
 Mrs. Hoover wore charming gown of deep rose chiffon, the skirt of uneven hemline and slight ly draped and the bodice showing a cape effect at the back of rose and gold lace which fell over her arms. She wore her hair quite simply ? dressed and without ornaments, the soft waves parted slightly on one side and drawn into a graceful knot at the back of her head. Instead Of a fancy evening coat Mrs. Hoover wore on both evenings of the opera. long coat Of sable lined with pearl grey.
 With her on tho second night of fhe opera were Mrs. Walter F. Brown, wife of the postmaster gen. eral: Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur. secre- tnrV of interior. Comm od orp and Mrs. Monroe, Mrs Howard, Mir. Bak-

 Of much more than usual inter est in the opening night Of the grand opera season was the fact that besides Mrs. Hoover. two former first ladies of the land, Mrs. Wood row Wilson and Mrs. William How ard Taft. were present. Mrs. Taft. who organized and for some years conducted the Cincinnati Symphony. never misses good music, but one had to look long over the crowded house before finding her. She sat in the front row of the balcony with a group of intimates and showed great enjoyment in the opera. Mrs. Wilson occupied seat on the orchestra cir cle. chatting with Representative Ruth Bryan Owen.
 When the Vice President entered the opera house. accompanied by his sister. Mrs. Gam. and her hus- band, Edward Everett Gam. they attracted no end of attention They went at once to the box of he Ambassador of Cuba and Sonora de Ferrara and Mrs. Gam occupied the place of honor at the right of the ambassa dor with Mir. Gam on his left. Just back of them sat the vice president and on his right was se- nora de Ferrara. an exceptionally handsome and winsome Cuban lady. Mrs. Gam wore a rich gown of stl- yer lace embroidered in brilliants and emeralds. and her evening coat of velvet showed 3 deep white fur collar.
 It thus fell to the lot of Mrs. Gam, who was the center of the precedence discussion recently, to show for second time within u week how she should be seated. The first occasion was Tuesday night at the D. A. R. Congress when tn t, Washington auditorium held five NiCo0*'u "OIIItII. 4Ht Cuban Ambassa dor, senor Ferrara speaker, took his place at the left of the President General. Mrs. AL fred J.

JUNIOR PROM
 GREAT SUCCESS
Young and Old Made Mer- " at High School
 Saturday Night

! Good music, an ai.raccively dec orated hall, soft lights, good punch and large crowd all combined to make the Junior Prom, given Sat- urday night in honor of the Senior Class, a pronounced success. The large high school gymnasium, where the dance was held, was gay with streamers of blue and white crepe paper and was evidence that the hosts, who had been busy for sev- eral days decorating, did their work well. The shining dance floor was a scene of youthful gaiety, in which the vivid shade of the chif- ion and silk frocks worn by the girls, added splashes of color.
 The crowd of over 200 that at tended the party included many parents, teachers and others who have completed their high school days, as well as the students them selves.

half filled it is impossible to get put, excepting through the open

 The coal was coming in so fast that it was impossible for my com panion and myself to get the coal clear of the chute. Naturally fresh air could not enter.
 It was very warm, in fact so hot that the precipitation ran down on our foreheads and into our eyes, carrying coal dust with it. It was not long before my companion al- most suffocated and became pros trate. We worked with regular miners lamps. had bucket of water, which I threw on him Gu re- store him.

to take midshipmen from Annapolis out on a cruise. It was on one of these cruises-one of my jobs being to wind all the clocks on the ship-that I wandered into the school room located on the half deck aft.
 In this school room was a large black board on which were prob lems pertaining to navigation and other subjects which the midship- men were to solve during the course of their work. The ones pertain ling to navigation interested me so I copied them and when I got to the corner of. the chart room, I tried to work them out. That was my first experience with naviga- tion, and I believe this to be the foundation of my progress to the bridge.
 The officers on the Hartford were kind and courteous and sev- eral who saw me at work assisted me. Later I obtained some books and delved more deeply into the subject. Along with this, of course, was getting instructions in sea- mansilip, gunnery and sail drill, but the routine was then interrupted by special orders as "topsail clew- lines and buntlins weather topsail braces"
 That was a signal to drop every thing and get to the station for taking in sails.
 Another order that frequently in terruptsd my studies was ready about station for stays" This means tacking ship. In those days we stood watch four hours on and four off, which is quite different from today with the three watch system, four on and eight off
 After my five years on the Hart ford, I was transferred to various cruisers and battleships and in 1916 to the fleet reserve. My first job was as third officer on the Sclace. There was bad fire on the ship one time which started from natural combustion in the bunkers. Some of the crew in- sisted that boatswain had fallen into the medicine locker to which the fire had spread.
 I was permitted to go into the locker with a wet towel around my head and a line on my body. A number of hoses were playing down there and I felt around but could not locate h-m. I was com- pletely knocked out from this ex- perience and later found that the boatswain had been elsewhere and was uninjured.
 Shortly before the war, I was recalled by the navy and was at tached to the battleship Kentucky After an examination I was as- signed to the ship as an ensign and then became junior lieutenant aboard the Petrel Then the war broke out and I was promoted to the rank of lieutenant and placed in command of the Zuiderdijak.

ed to them and joined the crowd of young and not so young at the most important of the high school social functions. Excellent music was furnished by the high school orchestra from 9:30 until the dance en de d an hour after midnight. Punch, cool and delicious, was serv- ed by member of the junior class, throughout the evening.
 The verdict is that at this su- preme test of their entertaining ability, the members of the present Junior Class proved themselves ex- cellent hosts.

was the last time I went to coal bunker.
 I later made request to the cap tain and asked him to transfer me to the deck department, be- cause I had been accustomed to working in the open air on the farm and in the Army, and I felt that I was more set to that type of work. I also explained to him that I had ambitions of becoming an officer on the deck. He granted the request,
 I was in the deck department for six months, going through the grades of a routine seaman, cox swain and quartermaster. Every summer the Hartford was employed
