Dirt Farmers

The Stanleys make their home
at the Mayflower during the
winter season, migrating to 1.-THE
Lawns" in the spring for a bit
of real dirt farming. The place,
formerly owned by the Comp.

family, is quite small, 10 acres in
all. but very lovely. The Stan.

Stanley especially likes garden.

However, last week, these same
nicknames got even beyond our
imagination. Mrs. Spatz, whose
nice husband is a colonel and
stationed at Langley Field, ar
rived in town for a days shop
ping with her attractive daugh-
ter who is a student at Sweet
Briar and now home on va
cation.
Promptly we tried to learn the
first name of Colonel Spatz. 1t
was "Tuey," nobody knew why,
nobody could think of his own
rightful name and "Tuey" it has
to be, right now. Furthermore,
the attractive daughter of Col
onel and Mrs. Spatz is called
"Tatty" and her given name is
also lost in the past, somewhere.
The only reason we didn't lose
our minds completely is that
some sympathetic soul phoned
and said they did recall Mrs.
Spatz's first name. 1t was Ruth!

TOMDR. AND MRS. j. B
" FARRIOR, who were sta
toned at Annapolis until they
went to Honolulu, last summer,
are very, very homesick for the
States. Evidently, the we'll
known Hawaiian atmosphere is
doing them no good at all, for
they still prefer the State of
Maryland. They were the most
hospitable couple and their
house in Annapolis was con-
Stantly filled with incoming and
very reluctant to depart guests.
Mrs. Farrior (Marie) is very
tiny, and dynamic, possesses the
lovelieSt contralto voice, wears
the most dashing hats and can
do practically anything under
the sun. The two daughters of
the household, Mary and Jane.
are both blonde and pretty and
popular among the Junior Navy
crowd.
~
MRS. ISAAC KITS, wife of
4VA Captain Kits, of Fort
Myer, has her own ideas about
hats; and no matter what the
fashion designers say about tur-
bans, pill-box l1eadgear, etc,
she still prefers the grace
full, broad-brimmed hat. What's
more, she wears them with
great style.
MRS. HENRY c. WOLFE,
VA pretty wife of Captain
Wolfe, of the Army Engineer
Corps, is wearing one of the
beSt-looking spring ensembles
glimpSed lately. The color is
beige, is very trim and tailored,
and has one of the newest hip
length capeS, which fits snugly
around the shoulders and ties
in a large and dashing bow at
the Waistline.

MAJOR GEORGE MILHOHr
AVA LAND Is getting to be such
an expert hand at the radio
you know he does all the mike
announcing at all the Friday
rides, that he can whip UP q
radio program in no time at all.
In fact, that is exactly what he
did, on the last broadcast. con.
corning the forthcoming pag-
cant, "Hoofprints of 1885," And
everyone who heard this partic.
ular broadcast voted it the best
of all, so far.
ITO CONTINUE with the above.
Il mentioned pageant of "Hoof-
prints" rehearSals yesterday
afternoon, was nearly discon-
tinued because Sheba, a beau.
tiful black dog on the post, de-
cided that he was bored with
the whole affair and sailed into
the middle of a scene, supposed.
ly a cock fight, and Immediately
bit one of the feathered fighters.
Not to be outdone, both fight
ing cocks turned from each
other to him and by the time
all of them were untangled and
quoted down, a good bit Of
damage had been done to all Of
them.
CMOKE HALL, down at the
~ Naval Academy, is the one
place Which seems to release
all the inhibitions Of the Mid
Shipman. Those severe and shy
Middies, depending on their dis
positions, who are unanimous
in their veto of appearing and
dragging femme to the weekly
hops, crowd into Smoke Hall
on every Sunday afternoon and
what with dancing, etc., are the
life of the party. Also they
grab off all the femmes which
have been dragged by dutiful
MidShipmen the night before.
AS you may know, Smoke Hail
is the recreation hall and has,
among other things, a piano
which plays anything-provided
one puts in a nickel.

NOBLE EST RECT,
WA Navy Junior, is wearing for
these service dances, the last
once or twice, a trailing white
satin, made very simply, with
out one bit Of trimming, and
depending on its smartly cut

that Mollie has a clear, pale skin

lacquer just sets the white gown
off.

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-It was about noon of late day in May, just time for the staff of the U. S. legation in Managua, Nicaragua, to toss off a frosty lime fizz and put on fresh linens before lunch. Sud- denly a burst of rifle fire cut loose over near the Campo de Marte.
 In 1922 a burst of rifle fire from over in that section of town meant revolution and it was 1922 when this firing began, and if you ask the Marines that is a hot time to start revolution in banana re- public.
 United States Minister Banner at Managua sent Major John Mar ston, commanding the Marine Guard to the scene of battle. The officer found Generals Arsenic Cruz and Salvador Castrillo, leading a dissatisfied wing of the conserva- tive party, had already seized the governments Fort Loma and were trying to take over Campo de Marte
 The two generals had started out with a hundred men but the sound of bullets swelled their ranks to 200, which was a fair re- bellion as measured by Caribbean standards.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 15.-Sec- retary of Labor Frances E. Perkins today proposed the creation of a thirteen-member c o m m S s ion to mediate in the differences between the AFL and the CIO.
 She suggested, in an address that each organization choose five trusted and experienced represen- tatives who in turn would select three disinterested persons.
 q have great faith in the ca pacity of the people on both sides of this controversy to make fail and workable adjustment" Secre- tary Perkins said. The desire for such adjustment has been asked for by the membership of both groups and by the public at large. An ac- cord should be much desired SC that the organized groups will be- come more effective in the interest of wage earners, management and general public"
 The Secretary was optimistic re- garding business prospects, saying factory jobs have increased by 200,- 900 since September l, residential building has maintained itself and public construction is on the up- turn.

 ALL FORCES
Two Hundred Thousand Men Are Called to Col-

SECURITY IS NOW
 ENDANGERED, CLAIM
Clash Along Bor Ter with Czechoslovakian Defend-
 CTS Is Soon Expected

BUDAPEST, Oct. 15.-Hungary has started doubling the nations army to an estimated 420000 men in what officials said is a peace and not a war mobilization.
 Five classes, totaling 100000 men have been called to the colors.
 The measure is necessary, offic- ials state, because Hungarian secur- ity is endangered on account of the continued mobilization of the Czechoslovakian army, plus the col lapse of negotiations by Hungary for parts of Czechoslovakia terri tory.
 Surprise is occasioned by disclos- ure that the Hungary army num- bered about 220,000 men, notwith- standing the postwar Tria o n Treaty limited the force to 35,000.
 The call to the colors of 100000 men was decided at meeting of the Hungarian Cabinet and then formally decreed by the War Min istry.

SEATTLE, Oct. Is. Steamer Denali is now posted to sail from Seattle for Alaska ports at noon next Wednesday replacing the Aleu- tian scheduled to have sailed at g o'clock this morning but which is tied up because Marine Bremen and Sailors declined to work after a dispute on the location of the mess room.
 The Alaska Steamship Company, owners of the Aluetian, refused to make the demanded change, saying that to move the mess room up one deck is unreasonable The com- pany officials said the men have violated their working agreement in calling sudden stoppage of work without first submitting the grievance to arbitration.
 Seventy passengers were booked to sail north this morning aboard the Aleutian and the large freight shipments scheduled to go on the Aleutian will now be sent north aboard the Denali.

Eighty Villages Reported to Have Been Destroy

HAMLETS ARE LEFT
 IN RUINS, WRECKED
Air Raids Precede Land Forces-Dead Estimat-
 ed Into Thousands

HONGKONG, Oct. 15.-In- vading Japanese troops are re- ported to have captured Wal chow, 70 miles east of Canton. The latter city is the goal.
 The capture of Waichow was accomplished after the Japa- nese forces smashed through more than 80 villages in the New South China drive.
 The Japanese drive from Bias Bay to Waiehow, over a 30-mile stretch, was preceded by the heaviest and most destructive air attacks ever seen in this area and left scores of villages and hamlets in ruins and casu- alties, as the result of the air raids, are estimated into the thousands.
