Wildwood Park Is Popular
Playground in Heat Wave

Wildwood park, now municipality
owned is a popular rendezvous for
Plentywood Riddles and young peo-
pie.
The past week of intense heat has
resulted in a general rush for swim
tickets and the pool Is each day
filled with splashing merrimakers,
cooling off from the torrid tempera-
lures.
The shady park benches are also
popular and citizens occupy them to
escape the heat.

- LIE only gives this fish the
right to be 50 named. It reaches
. length of 10 feet and weighs
- half ton. That would seem
to be . fair reason.
The horse mackerel or common
funny is one OF the most graceful of
swimmers and belongs to . we'll
known and ancient family. There
are many to be found In the Mediter-
ranean Sea today, and they were in
ancient days depended on for their
vast supply Of oil, which would amount
to some 20 gallons in a mature
mackerel.
This giant member looks very much
like some of our beautifully-marked
smaller mackerels. But 1t IS the flesh
that Is very similar to the mackerel
we are used to. though it is more
coarse and oily Where 1t is captured,
It is sold for third-rate mackerel.
Ranging through almost all the
temperate and tropical seas, the great
fish Is known to many fishermen.
The mackerel love to swim out some
distance from the shore. and naturally
acquire . large distribution.
They are carnivorous in their diet.

Leahys Entertain
At Tea Dance for
Visiting Officers

THE chief of naval operations and
Mrs. William D. Leahy enter
tanned at tea dance yesterday aft
ernoon for the officers and midship-
men OF the French training ship
Jeanne dare in the Chinese rooms of
the Mayhower.
Receiving with Mrs. Leahy, who
wore 4 black velvet gown with full
length sleeves embroidered in squares
of silver design and black beret, were
Mrs. Claude A. Swanson, wife Of the
eecretsry of the Navy, in beige crepe
dress made with a loose jacket and

the chief of naval intelligence and
Mrs William D. Puleston, Mrs. Pule-
ston, also in dark blue; Capt. Henri
Latham, commander Of the Jeanne
dare; Lieut.. w. L. Freseman, aide to
Admiral Leahy, made the introduc-
tions.

used to decorate the room and formed

which played the music for the
dancing.
The long tea table was decorated
in red, white and blue. In the center
was a silver vase in which were sprays

An extra knife beside his plate no
longer means pie for dessert to Willie,
and he knows that "dunking," though
lot of fun, Is considered poor taste.
Willie, who Is any cadet at Georgia
Military Academy, picked up this bit
Of useful information from a course
in etiquette introduced into the school
recently as one of several non-credit
courses designed to improve students
outside of class. Started as an experi-
ment, it has proved very successful,
Maj. w. r. Brewster, delegate from
the academy to the meeting OF the
Association Of Military Colleges and
Schools of the United States at the
Maylower Hotel, said yesterday.
The course goes beyond the simple
niceties of table usage, Brewster ex-
planned While Willie learns he can't
leave his spoon in the coffee cup or
eat off the back of his fork-and
there's teacher at each table to see
that he dosen't-he also investigates
in his pamphlet text the formalities
and usages in introduction. He no
longer says "Hi! Babe" or "Pleeze
tameetche" and goes through formal
receiving line at every school dance.
The subject is taught in a weekly
Commute period during the last
four months Of the second semester.
Willie's pleas for increased al
lowance will unquestionably be more
eloquent at the completion Of another
one Of the experimental non-credit
courses described by Maj. Brewster
letter writing.
The subject was introduced after
Willie's folks wrote several letters to
the school complaining that his cor
respondence was neither Informative
nor decipherable. AS a result, each
boy now brings to the first period class
each Monday a letter to the family
or to a friend, which is corrected for
form and punctuation under the
supervision of a teacher. If the cor
rected letter is still found wrong, Willie
finds himself doing a rewrite job after
school. This seems to have the de-
sired effect, the major said.
Contents Of the letters are not ex-
amined too closely, as it might reveal
some things embarrassing-to the
teachers. One instructor, reading bit
Evening star., 1937-03-26
Georgia Military Cadets Get
Special Training in Etiquette

too closely, found an extremely humili-
ating reference to a colleague as
"Ducky, because he waddles like q
duck on the parade ground" They
now check only for punctuation and
form.
An interesting thing about the
course Is that it has stimulated cor
respondence between the boys and
their male friends, Brewster said. For
some reason the lads don't like to
hand in their feminine correspondence
for correction.
The major also noticed that Willie
was an atrocious speller and intro
duced another non-credit course to
correct the situation. Each boy takes
test at the beginning Of the second
quarter and the student body is divid-
ed into groups Of good and bad SPELL
ers. Spelling bees are held and pro-
motion from one group to the other Is
always possible.
The leading speller in school IS a
12-year-old lad who started out at
the bottom and spelled his way right
on up to the top. The original test Is
given to the boys at the completion OF
the course, and the results showed q
10 per cent improvement average for
the entire student body.
