Two departments of the Federal
Government today turned their at
tention to a startling charge-that
the Naval Academy goat, now con-
tentedly chewing grass behind Ban
croft Hall at Annapolis in prepara-
ton for display of spirit tomorrow
at the Navy-Notre Dame football
game, constitutes a monopoly and
transgresses the antitrust laws.
Keeping the name of it's informant
a secret, the Justice Departments
antitrust division telephoned the
Navy Department about its receipt
of letter suggesting that Assistant
Attorney General Thurman Arnold,
in charge of monopoly enforcement,
investigate the question of where
the Navy gets its goats" Secretary
Swanson's Office forwarded the ques-
ton to Capt. Ernest Mckee, director
Of Naval Academy athletics.
"One man has a monopoly" on
supplying the Academy with goats,
the complainant wrote. He added
that he had long been wanting to
call the Governments attention to
this problem, and that he was sure
Evening star., 1938-11-04

he arrived from somewhere in the
West aboard q freight car filled with
cattle. The Academy was in need
Of goat and chose him because at
the time he seemed to combine
dignity with unquenchable fierce
ness.
In such casual ways the academy
has come into all its goats, the Navy
Athletic Association said. The first
goat was found in a yard near West
Point in 1890 by midshipmen walk
ing up the hill from the Hudson
River to the Point to see the Army
Navy football game. They suddenly
saw the goat, recalled that Yale
had bulldog for a mascot and took
the animal with them to the game.
The spry Angora now at An
napolis is named Bill, as was the
West Point goat, and the goat from
the West with the dim ancestry.
In fact, all Navy goats are Bill, ex-
cept the stuffed goat in the academy
trophy room in MacDonough Hall.
He Is known as Three to- Nothing
Jack Dalton, in honor of the Jack
Dalton who won the Army Navy
game In 1910 by field goal.

TOHire Tailor
For Uniforms

The "hand.me- downs" worn by
some of the 1900 guards and eleva-
tor operators in buildings supervised
by National Park Service are going
to fit a little better in the future.
The Government began furnishing
the uniforms seven years ago, having
them factory-made under contract
But since that time a collection of
uniforms discarded by those who left
the service has been growing steadily
B. c. Gardner. division chief OF
the buildings management branch,
said today he has on hand lot of
uniforms of irregular sizes that, with
little alteration, cauld be used by
new employees. The matter was taken
up with the Civil Service Commits
sion.
So applications for the Position of
tailor, for intermittent duty, 1T 4
salary of $6 per diem, will be ac-
cepted not later than September 12.
Nice work if you can get it-but
there's hitch. The tailor also must
be something of a dressmaker. About
200 OF the elevator operators are
women.

 Dr. Edward H. Kirschbaum. med ical examiner, said death was the result of accidental burns. MT. Fow- Ter did not regain consciousness af- ter bein scalded.

PUBLIC INVITED
 TOLOCALF FORUM
New York Doctor to Speak at Medical Building
 Tomorrow

General interest in preventive medicine has been much in evidence in this country during recent years. Not only by the individual but by the state, in the ever expanding preventive work taken on by the boards of health, and the federal government, in its widespread social security program.
 Everyone realizes the life saving and money saving value of vaccina- tion against smallpox and typhoid fever, and immunization against diphtheria to mention only a few preventive measures in disease. In these days of inferiority and other complexeS, and education of the public through the mental hygiene societies and other agencies, interest is becoming continuously more aroused in the prevention also of mental disease. It is now generally accepted for instance that it is bet ter to prevent youthful crime by proper handling of the young in juvenile courts than to allow hard ened criminals to develop and then try to reform them. And so with other mental diseases. It has been learned that by correcting malad- juStments in the home, at school, in the occupation, children or adults who are on the road to failure in their work or to mental disease may be saved to the community as useful citizens.
 The subject of the forum by the Waterbury Medical society Thursday at 8:15 p. m. is Organic Back ground of Mind". The forum will be at the Waterbury Medical Asso- ciation building, 30 Central avenue There will be no admission charge and the public is cordially invited.
 Dr. Foster Kennedy of New York professor. of neurology at Cornell Medcal school will be the principal speaker. The discussion will be opened by pr. Arthur H. Jackson and Mrs. Rodney Chase.
