The World at Present

The struggle for peace and hap
piness has been going on since the
beginning of life. Peace can never
be accomplished unless men remain
on an even keel with one another.
Ever since the beginning of time
there have always been weaklings
among men. Men who have real
ized this fact have time and time
again conquered these weaklings.
It is the idea of conquest which is
primarily the cause of war and de-
structiOn.
Now that the world of today is
again faced with the distraction Of
oncoming war, people of the differ
ent nations are at last aware of
the seriousness of the results. They
are realizing the price a nation
must pay in money and human
lives. It is not the dread of debt
which the world fears, but the
wholesale slaughter of human be-
ings which war eventually brings.
Neither the League Of Nations
nor any other league can prevent
war unless the people work with
them. War cannot be prevented
unless the people realize the fact
that public opinion alone can pre-
vent it.
The different peoples of the
world need a common interest
which will bind them together. A
national interest should be created
which will join them in a National
Brotherhood
The cases of war are multitudin-
Gus. But one thing is certain:
distroy the profit motive and there
will be no more wars.

You, Too, Can Fly /!

Have you ever envied the hawk
soaring lazily high in the sky +?
Probably you have, just as men,
centuries ago did. These men ex-
perimented and after centuries
without success, except with light
er-than-air aircrafts, the gasoline
engine was invented. Little over
thirty years have passed since the
Wright Brothers flew the first sue
cessful heavier than air machine.
Now flying is within the reach Of
almost everyone.
The so-called lightplanes now on
the market compare favorably in
price with many Of our low priced
automobiles, ranging from twelve
hundred to twenty-five hundred
dollars. Some are even under one
thousand dollars in price. The en-
gInes Of these lightplanes are un-
der one hundred horsepower, the
small ones having two or four cyl
lnders which rate about forty
horsepower. The engines are easy
to service and their fuel consump-
ton is only three or four gallons
per hour Or about twentymiles To
gallon. These airplanes afford
utmost safety, having a slow land
lng speed and being very stable in
the air. The main objection to
flying then, seems to be the cost
of instruction. Training for the
cheapest type Of license, amateur,
costs about three hundred dollars
az professional flying school.
However, the training is cheaper
az some local airports and perhaps
you can join a flying club. In a
nylng club the license may be OBJ
tanned for as little as ninety dol
lars. Yes, you can fly almost as
cheaply as you can buy an automo-
bile.

palling.

Ami came close to the cart then
and looked at him wonderingly.
"Guilio, you've shown me how
strong your love is and how proud
You can't want me now"
For answer, he held out his arms
to her. For a long second, she stood
there, unable to grasp the glory of
what was happening. Then she
climbed in beside him.
Guilio clucked to the donkey and
they were off. Takes him a minute
to make up his mind. But he's all

His arm was tight about her. She
looked at him, tears standing in her
eyes like wet diamonds. "All that 1

it isn't even paid for"
The donkey was jogging along at
a great pace. Guilio dropped a kiss
on her cheek. 1--WE won't bother
about that. The dressmaker is my

Sudden mirth burbled between
them and finally they laughed -
great, joyous gusts of merriment as

Chapter Three

The night Of the Festa had come
and Ami stood at the open window
gathering UP her courage. Borne on
a breeze, came the peasant music.
Guilio would be there, Guilio in
whose arms she had found joy and
love.
AS if the thought was driving her
to action she spun around and made
for the stairs. At the foot of them
Rudi awaited her. His eyes were
adoring. No one but you, Anne,
could be the loveliest lady and the
most beautiful peasant at the same
time
Her color heightened but she did
not reply as the others Joined them.
They All started for the grounds
and Annas eyes We're wide as they
made their way to a table. It was
night Of gaiety and love and new
wine. The music was varied. now
brisk and rhythmic for the peasant
dances, now dreamy and soft for
those couples who had hidden them
selves away in secluded hooks.
Suddenly Ami jumped up. "Oh.
there's a fortune teller's tent. |
want my fortune told. Come, Rudi :"
Without quite realizing it, she
and Rudi had passed the Gypsy
tent and then they found them
selves quite alone in a little tree
shaded grove.
Rudi held her before him. You
can't leave tomorrow, Anne"
You're insane" she said quietly
There's MGddelena."

said hoarsely. His fingers were
pressing into one bare shoulder,
bruising the delicate flesh. Marry

And MadGelena? What about

handing his own words and yet not
knowing how they had come about.

"When?"
His mouth twisted. Il couldn't

Tomorrow" she repeated and
then, her purpose accomplished,
knowing she had succeeded, her
body relaxed. Slowly, she took his
face in her hands and brushed her
lips to his.
But from out of the darkness,
there came a voice, a voice mixed
with wine and mockery. It was
Guilio and Ami stood there in fear,
for it was clear that he had looked
well upon some new wine.
"A moment please, Signor Pal.
This being the night of the Festa,
I ask your permission to dance once
with the Signorina."
Rudi laughed. Why not be gener-
Gus on such a night when it had
brought him the gorgeous Ami?
IT'S the one night in the year darl-
ing when we forget about - well,
Guilio's a harmless sort. I'd trust
him with you anywhere"
She shrugged resignedly. Then,
with a quick, defiant look at Guilio,
she kissed Rudi full on the lips.
He said, tenderly, II shall have to
bowl with the Contessa, buy dolls
for Maddelena and take the Ad-
miral home when his knees turn
blue. But I'll find you. darling. Take
good care of her, Guilio."
.As would my own. Signor."

The United States Naval Academy

The United States Naval Academy
The United States Naval Acad-
emy is located at Annapolis, Mary
land. Although it is an institu-
tion of higher learning, it car
hardly be classed as college, but
it is a training school for United
States Naval officers.
Not everyone may attend the
Academy only a few who are ap-
pointed by the President, Senators
or Representatives or competitive
ly chosen from the regular Navy
Marine Corps, Naval Reserve, etc.
The hardest part of being admitted
after appointment is the severe
mental examination but almost as
equally difficult is the physical ex-
animation. Only those of the high
est physical and mental standards
become midshipmen and these
standards must be maintained
throughout the four-year course at
Annapolis.
Unlike other collegians, midship-
men all study the same things.
Seamanship, marine engineering,
mathematics, and government and
economics are the most important
These are the subjects that will be
put into practical use after the
graduates become officers in the
Navy.
One of the features distinguish
ing Annapolis from other institu-
tions is the discipline. A set of
rules is handed to each new mid
shipman and woe unto him who
disobeys them. The Naval Acad-
emy's day begins at $50 when
reville is sounded. Between then
and eight o'clock, when classes be
gin, the midshipman eats break
fast and gets his room ready for
inspection. Each article has a
definite place and demerits pile up
if anything is out of place. Until
three o'clock all time is devoted to
studies, except for lunch. At three
comes a daily hour drill, after this,
time is taken for sports engage
ments, band practice, or work on
school publications. At $50 din
ner is served; then comes time for
visiting but all midshipmen have TO
be in their rooms by eight o'clock.
At ten the lights are turned out
and another day IS over. On week
ends the schedule varies, with
studies stopping on Saturday at
noon. Saturday afternoons are
spent in athletic events and Satur-
day evenings in dancing.
The underdogs at Annapolis are
the plebes, or first year men. They
may not address an upper class
man unless spoken to. At all times
they must march down the halls in
the same manner as if in a parade
eyes straight to the front, head
up. The worm turns, however,
when the plebe becomes an upper
classman and exercises authority
over the new class of plebes.
After the first year, quite a few
midshipmen are unable to stand
up under the strain, but it is very
unusual for a member of the First
Class to fail to be graduated.
There have been cases where poor
eyesight or inability to do several
gymnastic feats has caused mid
shipmen to fall out in their senior
year.
Upon graduation the midshipman
Is sure of a job. He is first com
missioned as al ensign in the
Navy or second lieutenant in the
Marine Corps, although this com
mission fails to become permanent
until after two years. After that
time it is up to the officer to work
his way Up to the admirably.
