We have du- ties to perform that may be dis tasteful and not at all pleasing, but if we have selected a vocation after careful consideration and we plan to go through with it we must realize that we have got to take everything as it comes.

 While I was aivft an English laurlch happened to come alongside. I was busy and naturally did not seei the approaching launch. When I returned to the deck, the officer on duty reprimanded me for not reporting the arrival of this boat. I explained to him that I did not see it, but was sent back to the bridge on starboard watch.
 tsswas rather annoyed at being adf11onished for this error, which I hardly considered my own, and was pacing back and forth nervously wHkh saw another English launch cofntng in the direction of the FfArtford with torpedo in tow. wishing to be alert, immediately made the report to the officer and to my surprise was again "bawled otit.'
 The officer stated that I should have known better than to think that this launch with torpedo was coming alongside an American ship. He was right. I felt rather disappointed, and then and there began to feel that if were to con- tinhe in my rank must improve in some way.
 While I was debating whether I lacked ability to go ahead Ger man passenger ship passed and dip ped her colors. I ran aft to lower our colors. and on my way forward to the bridge again she dipped three times. Of course I failed to see. it. For the third time I had to listen to the officer reprimand me for my neglect of duty.
 This was about all I could stand, and I was angry. I admit, at that time, I had a temper. I felt that was doing everything possible in attendance to my duty and that there was no inattention or neg lect on my part. explained to the officer that I was doing my best. He said ] was not, I took

 The cosrnopolitanisrn of those ear- ly homes, too, has followed her around the world and will make the White House a friendly place not only for the nation of which it is a symbol but for those fore igners who at Washington ares the guests of the nation.
 Mrs. Hoover has learned through her long life of wide travel that people of all countries have much in common, and that the bonds of friendship can oyerstep the differ ences of language and ways. Statesmen, scientists, business men and students of all the leading peoples of the world have found 6 welcome in her home, and through them she has learned to know the little intimate customs of each I1a- tion, for the Chinese way of send ing tiny lemon trees at Christmas to the French way of celebrating New Years.
 Mrs. Hoover may have little difficulty in satisfying her liking for verandas and terraces, because of the architecture of the White House.
 In the last remodeling, however, a small, widowed room, all most glassed-in sunroom, was ar ranged on the second floor. Tlis it is thought, Mrs. Hoover can adapt to use instead of a veranda for the informal tea hour she likes so well.

 THE JOY GIRL" AT LIBERTY ON SUNDAY

Olive Borden made her first visit to New York to play the title role in 'The Joy Girl' which Alan Dwan produced for Fox Films from the Saturday Evening Post story by May Edginton. But once there, she adapted herself to New York's manner with schooled east to judge from her acting in the picture, which is at the Liberty Sunday.
 Director Dwan assembled a cast of well-known players to support Miss Borden. Neil Hamilton, who played the juvenile lead in "The Music Master" had the part of John Jeffery Steele the leading male role opposite Miss Borden.

 Learning to toe the mark was never difficult experience for me. I learned the rudiments of disci- pline in the Army, but had more of thorough training when I en- listed in the Navy. Sometimes it is rather difficult to receive orders constantly and obey them.
 There is routine the Army and Navy have outlined for their men. This routine is, of course, inter rupted by special orders and com mands. They must be carried out, and it is not unusual for a superior officer to issue orders that are an- moving to the recipient. Early in my career I learned to follow all commands and to question none.
 Nevertheless, I cannot say that I have never been disciplined for an infraction of regulations, and I recall my only experience when was in Gibraltar At that time I was aboard the Hartford. We got into port early, and my first duty

But Lou Henry Hoover has al ways had wide circle of personal friends to whom her home has been open. Her affection for them and the ready and spontaneous welcome she has for them have become a fundamental part of her nature that the barrier of political promi- hence cannot change.

 Formal Restrictions
 Among those who have met her and known the freedom and infor- mality that has marked her way of life, much discussion has been aroused over the question Of how she will adapt herself to the for nal restrictions of the life of a lady of the White House. But now the universal conclusion is that for her, these formalities will largely disappear, and that under her touch the white colonial walls that have gleamed in the lights of

Soviet Leaders Attacked
By Mysterious Disease
BY E. e. FREE, PHI. ID.

A new and mysterious disease be-
lieved to be attacking many leaders
of the Russian Communist government
is reported by no less an authority
than the Soviet Commissar for Health.
Comrade Semashko.
Ivan falkland, prominent Com
munist recently dead, is seen as one
victim. Another was Stepanoff Skyort-
zoff. Even TrotSky, whose health has
been failing rapidly, may have been
attacked.
The usual symptoms, Commissar
Semashko reports, are nervousness, in
somnia, progressive general debility.
hardening OF the arteries and finally
death by bodily exhaustion. Nearly
all OF the active workers in the Cen
tral Communist party suffer in some
degree, the commisSar believes, from
this 1nsidious malady which he names
Soviet degeneration. It's causes are
to be sought, he 1magines, in the over
active and overeXcited life which
leaders of the Russian revolution and
of the Communist group have been
following for years.
The first danger sign, he believes,
IS excessive enthusiasm, leading the
victim to overWork and to gradual bod
lily damage. In the interest of con-
tinued brains in the Soviet regime it
is essential, SemaShko urges in a re-
cent public appeal, to devise ways of
restraining this destructive overactiv-
ity Of the Communist chiefs without
destroying their enthusiasm for Soviet
ideals.

There is no field of science in which
| women have not made their mark.
There is no field in which they have
not shown interest. Fellowship appli-
cations made to the association last
year showed desire to specialize in art,
archaeology, classics, economics, educa-
ton, English literature, mathematics,
music, medicine. philosophy, psychology,
public health, sociology and theology.
There were only twelve fellowships to
be awarded one hundred and sixty-siX
applicants.
1t is particularly in such fields as
education, psychology and sociology that
women are taking the lead. Every year
their researches are producing many of
the most noteworthy contributions to
these sciences of such incalculable i'm
portance to human welfare. Women are
creating new professions for themselves
in these f1elds-professions as important
and requiring as much specialized
knowledge as the old masculine hier-
archy of law, medicine and theology.
There is every likelihood that woman
scholars will lead the way into the vast,
reaches of human relations.
But the scientific domain of woman
is not restricted. Members of that sex

great ganglia or nervous pleXus known
as the solar.
However much the little tubes in the
ears may have to do with the situation
in which the perturbed elevator passen-
ger finds himself, one may we'll continue
to concentrate on the stomach.
That is where it hits.
Preparedness is the keynote of the
situation. It will be discovered that
some elevators and some operators are
peculiarly addicted to this jouncing OF
passengers.
One will enter buildings where no ele-
vator ever seems to want to stop
smoothly at floor 1t must bounce up
and down several times for good meas
ure.
Inexnerienced operators sometimes
will cause the lifts to go through SIM
liar gyrations in the vertical plane. One
must also suspect that malicious op-
orators sometimes indulge in this merry
prank out of simple meanneSs to thell
kind.

Whatever the cause of the disturb
ance. the best way to meet it is to stano
lightly balanced on the toes, all pre-
pared for the worst.
To be caught mapping is to suffer the
consequences. Smiling sweetly at the
beautiful creature who just got on viii
not save YOU Earnest conversation
with a comrade will avail nothing.
The only sure way to save ones sell
is to be thinking in advance of the
floor. Preparation must be both physi-
cal and mental. In the first place, bal
ance lightly on the toes, with the heels
raised ever so slightly.
Above all, think of what is going tc
happen, for with the correct stance ano
the proper mental attitude the dip may
be encountered with sublime certitude.
Watch the operators face as he
comes to a landing, and if you detect
crafty smile on his jowls, raise your
self bit more on the toes.
He will then shoot the car
inches too high. This is the critical
point. Success of the maneuver de-
pends entirely upon what you do al
this juncture, and how we'll you do it.
AS the car is halted suddenly, do you
rise even higher on the toes and dip
gracefully, bending some few inches at
the knees.
Then, no matter what sort of shimmy
the car puts on, you will find that
stomach and ear tubes are in complete
accord.
They laugh at elevator men, oper-
ators and laws of stability. The duck
ing process has enabled them to wealth
er the gymnastics. When this knee
bending exercise is done correctly there
will be absolutely no trace of nausea
felt by the performer. Even when ii
is done only halfway successfully it is
a great boon to the traveller in this
weary world of ups and downs.
