"MILESTONES" IS PLAY CHOSEN FOR DEBUT OF EARLHAM ACTORS
Every effort is being made by the members of "The Mask and Mantle" the dramatic club of Earlham college, to make "Milestones," their first production the most complete attraction of its kind ever , given at the college. The play -will be given Saturday night, Dec. 18, in the Earlham chapel. "Milestones" is a three-act play by Aronld Bennett and Edward Knoblauch, which met with instantaneous success when first produced in London. It was selected by the club as Its first public production because of its uniqueness and Us universal appeal. The action of the play covers a period of three generations and calls for strong character, development on the part' of the actors. Some of the characters are present throughout the action but as each milestone is passed they are approached and challenged by the visionaries of the rising gener
ations. The ever-present clash be
tween the conservatives of the passing generations and the radical and
progressive spirit of the oncoming generation is Bhown. Order Costumes. Costumes of the first two acts which would be hard to secure because of their antiquity, have been ordered complete from a costuming house. The setting of the earlier periods will be reproduced in every possible detail. The cast-is large and has been selected Entirely from the membership of the club. Tickets are 50 cents and are now on sale at the college and at the Westcott Pharmacy. All 6eat.s will be reserved and the plats will be opened next Wednesday. Only enough tickets will be sold to fill the seating capacity of the house.

Using
Soldiers Insist on Cooks
Fecipes Contained -
In Magazines Sent Them
(By Associated Press) WILLIAMSON. Va., Dec. 10 Recipes for toothsome things, such as tre found on the "women's pages" and !n women's magazines, are eagerly read by the federal soldiers on strike fluty in this region, and then passed on to the company cook. This fact was , discovered at headquarters here when a lieutenant came In from one of the outlying posts for supplies. "Any magazines I can taka back with me, captain," he asked of Chaplain Haywood L. Winter. "The boys are about fed up on what we have, and want some of these," naming a popular woman's publication, a current magazine of political opinion and a scientific paper. "And Captain," he added, "I don't want magazines with cooking recipes In them. The boys have cut enough recipes from the women's pages to last the poor cook five years and they insist on him trying all of them. I think he'll have to get a paper baler when we break camp."
OPEN HOUSE ENJOYED BY CLUB FAMILIES
Elaborate In every detail was the
Kiwanis club room Thursday night when they held open house for their
wives and sweethearts under the title of Ladies' NighU The program was
one round of amusement and fun,
and according to every member one of the best times of their young lives
was experienced.
The evening's program began with a sumntuous dinner served by the
Pythian sisters in the banquet room
This was beyond reproach and the viands placed upon the festive board
were the most delectable.
Decorations which carried out the club colors of purple and gold, lights from the massive candelabra arranged
tastefully around the room made an
attractive setting. Music during the dinner was fur
nished by the Misses Miriam Hadley, Katherine Gates and Mary Carmon. The program after the dinner was well
arranged by Samuel B. Garton. The dance began at 9 p. m. and cpn-
tinued until midnight. Music for this
was furnished by the Evan Smith orchestra. During the hour of enter
tainment the program consisted of
songs by the Earlham glee club, read
ing by Arthur J. Beriault, solos by Edward Price and Frank Funk, and
several numbers by the Kiwanis quar tet.

Even Lowly Burro Now
Classed as National Pest
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. The lowly
burro, enshrined in Western legend as
the heroic, inseparable and invaluable trail companion of the lone prospector
who wandered the waste in search of
earth's treasure has now been official
ly classed as a "veritable pest" by the United States government. This animal, and its progeny in countless numbers, abandoned by its former human sponsors, according to Stephen T. Mather, director of the national park service, has selected the Grand Canyon of the Colorado for its habitat and the availability of the canyon's scenic beauties in consequence, are almost disappearing. The burro Mr. Mather said, "destroys the trails, denudes the plateaus of grass and other forage so that native wild game such as antelope, has been forced out and it is even necessary for working and exploring parties to pack feed for working animals." He adds ominously for the burro that "the time is not far distant when radical steps will have to be taken to eliminate the burro evil."
NAVY OFFICERS QUIT;
SERIOUS SHORTAGE, SAYS BUREAU CHIEF
f By Associated Press) WASHINTON, Dec. 10. Declaring that the officer personnel of the navy should be augmented to full 'strength and placed on a permanent basis "with
tuc least possible delay," Bear Admiral
Thomas Washington, chief of the bureau of navigation, in his annual report to Secretary Daniels today describes the personnel situation as the most serious problem before the navy. Even though 1,200 reserve and temporary officers are taken into the regular establishment, as permitted by lay
during the coming year, the shortage of officers May 1, 1921, will be equal to seven ' years . output of the , naval academy, Admiral Washington declares. From present indications and unless remedial legislation is obtained, the temporary appointment of seven rear admirals, 67 captains, 154 commanders and 380 lieutenant commanders will have to be revoked July 1, 1921, due to shortage of officers in the lower grades, the report says. More attention must, be paid to the personnel side of the conduct of the navy, Admiral Washington says, asserting that "this point of view does not now prevail." Must Consider Personnel. "The attention of the navy and all those who in any way ,enter into the activities of the navy must be concentrated equally on the ships and the men who man them," the report says. "The long period of material reconstruction covering new building programs has diverted too large a share of service attention from questions of personnel." Commenting on the enlisted man situation, Admiral ashington states that the navy has very largely recovered from the post-war reaction, that virtually stopped recruitting. At the rate new men are now entering the service the authorized strength will be reached by July 1, next, his report states. Due to the loss of a large percentage of the navy's older enlisted men, however, the report says that the enlisted force has not yet gained normal efficiency. Resignations during the fiscal year from the officer force have been serious, Admiral Washington says, the line being particularly hard hit. At the end of the year there were more than 450 fewer line officers in the service than on November 1, despite the fact that a class had graduated fiom the naval academy in the meantime. A total of 606 officers, resigned from the regular navy during the year, of which 94 were line officers, leaving a shortage of about 2,400 officers in the permanent establishment.
