Special Dispatch to The Star.


ANNAPOLIS, July 1.-two blond
Washington girls who, CARRIED as sec
ond class men. were smuggied into the
midshipmen's mess, have caused the
Imprisonment of their two escorts. the
probability of demotion for the captain
of the table and possible punishment
for the whole table for failure to re-
port the prank to officials.
While no official statement was forth
coming today from academy officials,
run1or in the town is spreading the tale
OF destruction which the two blonds
caused.
The imprisoned midshipmen, MEM
bers of this years second class, nave
been stationed at the academy for the
Summer to study aviation.
Earlier Case Dropped.
About two weeks ago, in an effort to
break the monotony of an orthodox
Annapolis Summer. the daughter of a
Navy commander on duty on the res
ervation. was smuggled into the mid
shipments mess in the garb OF a second
class man.
She was discovered and later, at the
investigation, denied that any midShip-
man had participated in the prank, and
that she merely had committed the deed
in order to create little excitement.
The case, because of the connection OF
the girls father at the academy, was
dropped, and again the academy be-
came a normal place, disturbed only by
the hum of airplane motors.
But then came the blondes from
Washington, daughters Of prominent
parents. Their mission was to visit
two second classmen, and when the call
for mess rang through the corridors,
they, too, decided they would eat
Hastily Acquire Uniforms. Z
There was a hasty search for equip-
ment. The blonde hair was bound
tightly to the head. Blouses were
found and, naturally, trousers. The
trek to the mess hall began.
They sat down. They ate and they
were discovered.
Two of the youths, escorts of the
young women, now await word from
Admiral S. S. Robson. Their quarters

HIGHWAY CHANGES
ACTION POSTPONED
District Heads Grant Request of
Maryland Board on Wiscon-
sin Avenue.

The District Commissioners yester-
day decided to postpone action on
changes in the highway plan affecting
the line of Wisconsin avenue, where it
enters Maryland, on request of the
Board of County Commissioners of
Montgomery County, Md. The Mary

treatment of the avenue in Maryland
was now being considered, and that
many civic organizations are interested
in the result of the deliberations. Some
of them are in favor of making circle
or oval at the District line, with several
roads interesting at that point.
Commissioner Luther H. Reichelder-
fer spent the afternoon inspecting Gal
finger Municipal Hospital, and Com
missioner Herbert B. Crosby inspected
the National Training School for Boys.

Separate Company of the Maryland Ma
tional Guard, from Baltimore. It was
announced at the brigade headquarters
that the local unit will be required to
make its own supply service during the
| camp, as no special detail has been Or
dered for this work. About 10 men are
in the company.
Although hampered by dust and with
0CHSAdSC SySISuI
newly established camp, it was said at
the brigade headquarters that the men
were well pleased with their condition
in the field. Lieut.. Col. Frederick II,
Smith, ad1utant general of the local

| visit during the week and talked with
| the men in the details while the other
| troops were out engaging in maneuvers.
and he found that while they had been
! compelled to work quite hard in order
! to keep the camp utilities going they
| we're very well satisfied. The made
! quacy OF the sewerage system, he said
had put an extra load of work on the
men.
There will be no relief period from
drills following the return from the field
maneuvers, it was said. The regular
| drills VIII be resumed Tuesday. 1t was
| pointed out at brigade HEADQUARTERS
that If a brief vacation period is allowed
! following the return from camp IL had
! been found, by practice, that it Is diff
| cult TO get the men back to the drills
again. However, it was added that the
attendance Is usually maintained in the
absence of such a vacation period. 1t
was further stated that the Guard is
required to have 48 drills a year. With
the Christmas and New Year holiday

weeks at camp, it leaves only 48 weeks.
