Opportunity to Resign.
Capt. Chester w. Nimitz, acting
chief of the Bureau of Navigation in
the absence Of Rear Admiral Adolphus
Andrews, explained that when the
academic board is no longer willing
to guarantee the scholastic attain
ments Of a midshipman, he Is given
the opportunity to resign. Otherwise,
it would be necessary for the Navy to
drop him, but there Is no case on
record where q midshipman declined
to submit his resignation following
failure in his examinations, Capt.
Nimitz said.
The law requires that when mid
shipman Is found deficient at any
examination, he cannot be continued,
except on the recommendation of the
Academic Board, and the authori-
ties insist that this Is the final action.
In Johnson's class. which is known
officially as the fourth class, corre-
spending to freshmen at q civilian
college, 81 failed to make the academic
grade. In the next higher class 48
failed; in the second class, corre-
spending to juniors on the outside, i've
failed, while in the first class, sched-
uled to graduate in June, there was but
one failure.
Record Enrolment Now.
Former Representative Oscar De
Priest, colored, who also lives in Chi
cago, nominated as midshipmen at
the academy Emile Holley and Ed
ward Weir, both colored, but they
failed to pass the requirements.
Naval authorities said that while
those resigning represent the largest
number failing to pass their examina-
tions, the academy now has the largest
peace-time enrolment, with some $500
inidshipmen.

new YORK COTTON
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, February 13-Cotton
futures opened steady, points higher
to lower, with trade buying and liqui-
dation. March, 1855; May, 1882; July,
1898; October, 1896; December, IL 80;
January, 119l.
Narrow, irregular price changes re-
fected the absence of important news
developments over the holiday. The
undertone was steady, with a little
more active trade price fling, partly
for foreign account, furnishing the
principal demand.
The improved tone of the cotton
goods market late in the week stir1u-
lated better trade demand for
futures. On the other hand, there
was moderate volume of hedge SELL
ing, March liquidation and local offer
ings on the disappointing action Of
Liverpool.
Prices moved over a limited range
in quiet trading during the first half
hour. May fluctuated between 1882
and 1249 selling at 1881 after the
first half hour, when prices generally
were net unchanged to points lower.
Liverpool reported a quiet market,

Of February, 1885, was the attempt
Of a small group Of them to put the
doctrine into practice Some Of the
ablest statesmen and f1nanciers in
Japan were slain by these rebels, but
the abortive revolt did serve to awaken
the older officers to the dangerous end
toward which their preaching Of super
nationalism was leading.
The older officers have since been
trying to put the army machine into
reverse, to reconvert their earlier con-
verts and to wean them back from the
extremist program. Some Of the rebel
officers were tried and shot. Others
were imprisoned. Some are still un-
dergoing trial by court-martial. The
army has been attempting to purge
itself Of the Frankenstein monster Of
its own creation, but so far it has
not succeeded, and the younger ele-
ment looms as threat impeding the
policy which the wiser and older off,
GERS now see to be necessary.
How the army can be effectually
purged Of this element Is not clear.
To discharge all who hold to extremist
doctrines is not feasible. Their num-
bers are too great; such a wholesale
discharge might precipitate armed re-
volt; even If it could be accomplished,
the discharged officers would remain
q dangerous group within the civilian
population of nation where political
assassination Is still regarded as a
semi-legitimate political weapon, where
such assassination can actually bring
about change in national policy.
Gen. Ugaki has long been known
as an army officer honestly believing
in the parliamentary form of govern
ment. AS a result, he has been one
Of the eccecis! oojects held up to
scorn by the military extremists.
S-,ilsr.ty Of Policies.
When ,-,e program ard policies an
noulced by the war office today are
compared with those championed by
last years rebels, it is surprising to
note how strikingly similar they are
Save that the rebels favored the meth
cd CT direct action by assassination and
today's army leaders prefer to work
through political and semi-political
channels. they are one and the same.
The methods advocated are different;
the ultimate goal of military rule un-
der the throne and redistribution Of
wealth are one and the same.
This menace of Japan's own army to
Japan itself is very real menace.
Nearly half of the army is now on
the Asiatic continent. the greater part
of it in Manchukuo, where it is known
as the Kwantung Army. The most
radical members of the younger ele-
ment are to be found in this Kwan-
! tung Army, and if serious military
rebellion we're to take place. what they
might do is unpredictable.
If the older officers continue to yield
to the pressure and demands of the
! younger element, that group will wax
in strength and power. 1t may be
the strategy of the war Office and the
general staff to endeavor to wean the
younger element away from their pres
ent fanatical views and restore them
! to sanity Unless this Is done, an open
clash must come sooner or later.

THRIFTY MAN

But they were fairly successful.
Joe got a job as a bookkeeper.
And he was a plodder. He ap-
portioned his money. He spent so
much for upkeep, so much for
amusement.
He saved a little every week.
That savings account grew. 1t
bought them home and it en-.
abled them to pay the interest
when it came due and to cut a
chunk of it off every year.
They were saved one item Of
expense. They never had any
children. This was a. source Of
a lot of secret sorrow to Joe. He
liked children. He had alway:
wanted to be the father of &
couple.
He would have made a flint
father, too. one of those who dotG
on their kids. But he never sait
anything about it because Of Stella

a few years on them. And Stella
got pretty terrible. She became
boSsier than ever. Sometimes Joe
would wonder how he ever got
through all the tasks she laid down
for him to do. But he always did
get through them. He loved Stella.
He thought she was about the
finest woman on earth. There
were times when Stella was asleep
and snoring raucouSly that Joe
would light the light and lean over
and look down on her and think
to himself: "A fine woman. So
gentle and kind behind that mask
of toughness. She should have
been a couple of pugilists. Nature
crossed her up when she made a
woman of her."
So you can see they got along
fairly well; about as well as any
married couple gets along. They
were doing all right.
GETS WANDERLUST
And then, suddenly, Stella got
wanderiust. What started her off
was an ad for a trailer in a maga-
zine. It was a well-written ao and
it told about how wonderful life
was on the road.
There's a gypsy in all of us"
1t said. "A yearning for the far
places, curiosity about what lies
over the hill. Pack up your trou-
bleS in your old kit bag and put
the bag in your trailer.
Climb in behind the wheel and
be rowing citizen. See your own
United States. Don't be a piece
of moss. Get out! Wander! See
life! See your country"
What do we want with a trail
er?" the bewildered Joe asked
when Stella told him they were
going to have one. We've never
even had a car"
well, get a car" Stella said,
because we're going to have a
trailer
So Joe, much against his will,
bought a car and from then on
they spent their evenings hurtling
about the countryside at 10 miles
an hour. Joe was a very careful
and deliberate driver.
Stella, before she learned to
drive, became one of the noisieSt
back-Seat drivers IN the world. Joe
always remembered his auto rides
by remembering what Stella said
during them.
mot so slow. Go faster, Joe.
Look out for that truck! God,
you're stupid! Be careful of that
turn!" -
They bought their trailer two
months later. They locked up
their home. Joe took a three
months leave of absence. They
started west toward California.
Stella had the time of her life.
She back-seated Joe from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
She called him every name a
lady can call gentleman. She
called him everything a woman
can call a man. She called him
everything one man can call
another. Six weeks after they left
home, Joe found himself getting
tired of it.
The Washington times., 1937-12-06
HOMESICK

Maybe it was home sickness. He
hated tourist camps. He hated
pulling into one Of them and going
to bed in the trailer with the sense
that he knew nobody in the neigh.
borhood. He missed, a well-ordered
existence with his home and every
thing else in place.
The meals Stella cooked, bowling
along at Is miles an hour were
pretty terrible. Joe got to imagin-
ing he could take every bump they
had hit since the last meal.
Stella, herself, being uprooted
and way from the prying eyes Of
people she knew, let herself come
over her foundation garments.
Her voice got more raucous than
ever.
At Elderly, N. NJ, one night, Joe
waited until Stella was asleep IN
the let-down bunk across from him.
He listened to her snoring half
hour. Then he got up and dressed.
He took long look at her open.
mouthed face and her billowing
body and wondered why he had
ever married them.
He took a note he had written
from his pocket and put 1t on the
sink. He skunk out. unhitched the
car from the trailer and drove
away. When Stella woke UP she
found the note and read it. 1t
said:
'You can have the trailer and
the open road. There's five hun
dred to your credit in the home
bank. Go easy with it because
you'll never see me again.
Good-by. joe"
Stella used nearly 500 putting
an ad in every paper in the
United States. Maybe you've seer
it. It reads:
MISSING: JOE BEMIS. Joe,
if you read this, please come
home to me. I'll never nag you
again. I miss you so. Stella"
But she knows in her hear
nothing will ever come Of it.
THE END
