During the week there will
be pageants, lawn parties, teas,
dinners and dances. To say
nothing of the gay affair in
honor of the youngest members
of society who are vacationing
there. A fitting climax will be
the Old White Ball on Friday,
August %. This will be given
in the cameo room Of the hotel.
The central decoration, a great
crystal ball inlaid with mirrors
and suspended from the ceiling,
will reflect the rainbow lights
thrown upon it. At either end
of the room there are canopied
boxes, which will be occupied
by the orchestra and the
Judges, who will attempt to de-
termine the most authentic
Continental costume, the most
interesting character represent
ing the Orient, the most beau
tiful costume and. Of course,
the funniest.
Southern Institution
The Old White Ball, during
its so years of existence, has be-
come quite an institution in the

BASIC ALLOWANCE
SCALE RESTORED
McCarl Decision Affects Army
Navy, Marine and Coast
Guard Officers.

Commissioned officers will have their
allowances for quarters and subsistence
restored to basic scales on April /
when the pay cut is lifted, Controller
General McCarl held in an opinion
to Secretary of the Navy Swanson
made public yesterday.
While the decision covers only Navy
officers, the principle will be ap-
plicable also to officers of the Army,
Marine Corps. Public Health Service,
Coast Guard and the Coast and Geo.
detic Survey.
The quarters allowance as fixed by
presidential order is $40 per month
per room and the subsistence allow
ance. so cents per allowance per day
Present rates are SIS and 81 cents.
The McCarl decision also clears up a
seeming ambiguity that arose through
phrasing of the economy act which
provided that there should be no re-
duction when that act was no longer
effective. Swanson asked If this should
be considered permanent legislation or
whether the act Of 1922 giving Presi-
dents the right to Ak rates for quar-
ters and subsistence would be effective,
and McCarl held that this earlier act
still applies.
