napolis recently have been im- pressed by the mentality of Rear Admiral David Sellers, its com mandant and directing genius.
 Admiral Sellers chief passion as far as Annapolis is concerned seems to be brighter button and more movies extOlling the virtues of being a nidshipman.
 Scholarship, apparently, is a subject with which the admiral is not greatly troubled.
 He has already promoted sev- eral motoin pictures depicting the romance of midshipman's life; and the Hollywood executives who smashed up in the plane that killed Senator Cutting were en route to do another.

Two Georges

An odd thought may come to histor- ical-minded American who ponders over the royal jubilee now being celebrated throughout the British Empire. King George happens to be popular here. We are looking on, for the most part, with sympathetic interest, though with the rather superior attitude that our untranl- meled democracy always takes toward royalty. Royal trappings and flunkyism may do for the old world, but not for us. And yet--SNppose that King George III, instead of being the arrogant and tyran- nical monarch that he was, had been a simple, wise, kindly and understanding man like George V, eager to be just, sym pathizing with his people even in their democratic aspirations, and capable of holding them in loyalty that leaves them, in St. Paups words, "bond, yet free"
 If George III had been like this present British king, and if no bull-headed suc- cessor of his had come along and upset the colonial apple-cart, our own country might still be a member of the British Empire, self-governing democracy ac- knowledging fealty to the crown, and member of the British commonwealth of nations A little imagination may carry anyone on from this point into interesting conjectures. Would England or North America dominate the eupire? Would its capital be London or Now York? Would we have titles of nobility? Would our British-American empire boss the world, dictating war or peace as we willed?

The oldest farm in the United States is said to be in Clinton. It has passed down through nine generations of the same family No doubt proclamation of this fact will bring forth many counter claims for this honor, but it looks as if Clinton had a pretty good start on all other aspirants to the title. The New Lon- don Day recently offered an interesting article on the farm in question, plus pie lures. The recent federal farm census. brought to light the information that it was the oldest farm to be operated in the United States. According to authentic records the farm has been operated since 1875, the land being granted in that year by Charles II to John Stevens. Even the house on the farm dates back couple of hundred years, it's exact age being un-- known. The farm has never been out of the hands of the Stevens family.

It must have been sad blow to the Metropolitan Opera company-the death of it's new general manager, Herbert Witherspoon. He had hardly time enough to take hold of the famous opera house, but in his first few months in charge he had really injected the life-giving serum that was producing resuscitation. Now that he has died with his work undone, we don't know in which direction the opera packers will turn for an individual who will really devote himself to restoring opera to. it's proper plane in the amuse- ment world. Witherspoon was to have been a Connecticut visitor this summer, having taken an estate in Norfolk.

Many Strearnlined
 Autos In Chicago
Cars of Radical Hue Give City Streets Rainbow Tones
 Only Thing Not Changed Is Fare

Chicago. - They have gone streamlined in Chicago's rapid transit systems. At the present time, the local street railway lines are experimenting with two radlc- ally designed cars, which boast rubber wheels, wind-blown con- tours and all the latest gadgets. The big idea is to find out what the passengers think of them and then to order couple of hundred of the approved model.
 Tn like fashion. the local omni- bus company is going Joseph's fa- nous many-colored coat one bet ter. Up and down Chicago's high ways, busses of the latest design are vending their stipulated ways, one boosting that daring color and the other something radically dif- ferent and yet just as glaring. For instance, there are aluminium col ored cars to match platinum blondes among potential passen- gers; there are busses that sport a nice maroon or sober blue; there are the old conventionally colored busses in green, yellow and brown;
