MINT OFFICER GETS
CAREER EXTENSION
Services to Treasury to
Continue Past 70 for
Miss 0'ReiIIy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt has extended be-
You'd the retirement age the service OF
Miss Mary NJ O'Reilly, assistant
director of the mint, whose career in
the Treasury Department reaches back
over 80 years.
In addition to having grace and
charm, Miss O'Reilly is officially known
to be letter perfect in her work and
veritable mine of accurate information
on the history of American coins.
Next October IA, Miss O'Reilly will
reach the retirement age of 10. But
by special order of President Roosevelt
she will be continued in service until
November /, 1886. The extension was
granted at the request Of Secretary
Morgenthau, who said he regarded her
services indispensable, that he needed
her in her present position and that
1t would be difficult to proceed without
her.
Her bread is publicity. Rarely ever
has she been interviewed for direct
quotation.
Other Treasury officials, however,
we're more laxative about Miss
O'Reilly One described her as with
out a duplicate" Another recalled
she had been cited last year by the
College of Our Lady of the Elms OF
Springfield, Mass, for rendering dis
tinguished service" in her line of
activity. Miss O'Reilly, however
couldn't recall the circumstances.
Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, former
Governor of Wyoming and director of
the mint, was elated.
I profoundly appreciate the action
OF the President in extending Miss
OReilly's tenure of service" she said.
Her abilities are unique In her
long service she has acquired a knowl-
edge of coinage laws and mint prac-
tices not possessed by any one else.
Furthermore her judgment is of great
value to the service. Her character
and charm equal her ability"

standard of attention and efficiency is
required of the midshipmen who con-
duct the different lines.
WITH the many requirements OF OIL
w fetal and extraofhcial nature
the day of the midshipman is, indeed.
a full one. For the watch squad II
begins well before 6 o'clock and at
$50 the reveille bugle and a gong
which rings for half minute calls
the midshipman to the activities OF
the day. Twenty-Five minutes is al
lowed for the morning shower, shaving
and dressing, and at 6:55 the call for
breakfast formation is sounded. AT
this information the report OF con-
duct for the previous day is read. %
After breakfast the midshipmen go
to their rooms, where they make up
their beds and clean up. At 8 the
march to the class rooms begins. The
forenoon is divided into four PERIODS
of about an hour each, two being
given to study and two to recitations.
At 1910 pm. there is lunch forma-
ton, at which the orders OF the day
are read and at l:30 the NTH period
begins and consists Of another reci-
| tation.
The afternoon drills begin at 2:4s
and last until or 4:30. Each mid
shipman has two Of the long drills
each week. On Wednesdays, all mid
shipmen take part in a drill Of the
same character as determined by the
| executive department. A dress parade
often takes place, weather permitting
On Saturdays, there are only two
class periods, both in the forenoon,
and the other two are devoted to drills.
The afternoon is a liberty period.
The recreation period lasts from the

spend it in some form OF athletics,
which at this period is optional. and
otohers spend the time in the library
or devote it to work on the publica-
tions or other student activities. Study

the athletic plant Of the academy.
On admission the plebes are giver
strength tests by system in which
every set of muscles are carefully tried,
and if any are not up to the standard,
special exercises are directed. These
tests are continued throughout the
course. The medical officers also lee
ture the midshipmen on hyNene and
care of their health and look after
their physical well-being in general.
BANCROFT HALL. the home of tn
~ midshipmen. where they eat
sleep, study and spend a small amount
of leisure. is a huge building OF four
floors and one of the largest masonry
structures in the world. 1t covers 40
acres Of ground, can accommodate
2.400 midshipmen in comfort, has
five and one-half miles of corridors
and about a thousand shower baths.
In Memorial Hall. a part of Bancroft
Hall, is hung the flag flown on Perry'S
ship at the battle Of Lake Erie, with
the dying words of the heroic James
Lawrence. Don't give up the ship!'
The academy grounds and buildings
abound with memorials which con-
stantly remind the midShiprnen OF the
glorious traditions of the service OF
which they are a part. The entrances
to most of the buildings are f1anked
with cannon captured by the Navy in
various wars. Striking monuments on
the grounds are the Mexican War
Monument, erected by the midShipmen
to their comrades who lost their lives
in that war, and the beautiful Tripoi
Monument, memorial to the six
young officers of the Navy who lost
their lives in the attack on Tripol.
No story of the midShipmen could
approach completeness without word
about Tecumseh replica of the figure
head which was carried by the old
u. S. S. Delaware, and which has
played such an important part in the
lives and efforts of generations Of
midshipmen. To them Tecumseh is
the God of 25." that being passing
mark, whom they WOO for success in
their examinations, on the field Of
sport and in the other activities Of
the academic life.
The Delaware was sunk at Norfolk
during the Civil War and. after being
salvaged, sent to the Naval Academy.
The bronze replica of the figurehead
was found to have rotted through so
years of exposure to the weather and
the class of 1881 presented a bronze
replica of it to the academy. while
the original was consigned to the
museum. AS successive classes have
passed the statue Of the grim old
Indian, its members have tossed pen.
| nies in his lap, and passing mark is
assured if they remain there.
| THE midshipmen are drawn from
every section of the country and
are truly representative of its young
manhood as in no other institution,
except its sister school of the Army at
| West Point. Most of them secured
their appointments through competi-
tive tests, SO that the student body
represents a picked number Of youths
from every section Of the country, but
united in their patriotic desire to serve
their country in the Navy. Through
out the 80 years of its existence those
who have had to do with the academy
have given their utmost to train these
youths so that they might serve ac-
ceptably when they are needed.
