FOR CADETS
A. C. GRADUATES HAVE A
CHANCE TO WRITE,
Competitive Examinacion Will Be
Held Within a Short Time.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, Aug. 16. (Special) A second
lieutenancy in the United States army
is open, by competitive examination,
to all graduates of the Oregon Agri
cultural college who are-not over 27
years of age. Examinations, accord
ing to an order issued August 3 from
the war department, will be held on
August 21 at some poin: in the Pacific
Northwest to be subsequently desig
noted by the adjutant general of the
army, Washington, D. C, to whom ap
plications should be made at once.
Both a mental and a physical exam
ination will be requisite to appoint
ment, tha mental examination includ
ing elementary French, German or
Spanish, General History, elementary
surveying, and a choice of advanced
work in English, modern languages,
analytical golometry, calculus, mili
tary art and field engineering, or ad
vanced surveying. .
The order from the war department
explains that "About 1500 vacancies
now exist in the grade of second lieu
tenant," and declares that "Under ex
isting laws many of the officers ap
pointed to these vacancies will be pro
moted to the grade of first lieutenant
in the near future." The opportun
ity, therefore, is likely to prove very
attractive to graduates of tho Oregon
Agricultural college and other land
grant colleges who aspire to military
service as officers in the regular army.
Specific information concerning the
general character of tho examinations
may be obtained from any military
post or from the office of the com
mandant of. cadets at the Oregon
Agricultural college. The first step
for all applicants to take is to get in
to communication with the adjutant
general of the army at Washington,
who will furnish the necessary blanks
for applying for examination, will
designnte the place of the examina
tion, and give the necessary directions
for securing testimonials as to char
acter and fitness for appWthtment.

Everybody familiar with the social
life of every city from Atlantic to
Pacific knows tho social shams which
come of false standards usually as
sociated with weulth and ambition.
But probably never has this familiar
defect of our American life been so
boldly and effectively laid before the
gazo of all ns in the William Fox
photodrnma, "Hypocrisy," in which
that Southern beauty, Virginia Pear
son, is leading woman.
Tho picture play "Hypocrisy" tells
with forceful moral just what makes
so-called high society really so low in
many of its phuses. It lays bare the
vices of social ambition, marriage for
anything but love, men's business
race for gold, women's climb to social
glory, and all the dangers of gam
bling, v.hcr in stock and bonds or
at the fashionable biidge."
The basis of the play was taken
from New York life, where prolwhly
America's money-mail and socinl
climbing race is most completely ac
centuated. But it applies us well to
tho unwritten histories of every town
of nny size, to those stories of social
disgrace which are whispered from
in Illinois. Tho field surveys for this
report were made under cooperative
agreement between the United States
Geological Survey and the State of
Illinois. Eugene Wesley Shaw and Aril,.,-

Admiral Dewey, in the September
American Magazine, says dinners and
funerals kill more people than any
thing else, and so ho goes to neither.
The writer says:
"A while ago one of his Old-time
friends and associates in the Nvy
died. The man's family expected Dew
ey to act as one of the pallbearers but
ho was obliged to tell them that he ad
hered strictly to the rule against at
tending funerals.
" ' A funeral,' he says, "is depres
sing and if I went to many I would
soon go to my own.' "
"Frequently Dewty receives a din
ner invitation that he woulfi like to ac
cept. He is tempted to do so. But he
knows that the only way to have a
rule effective against dining is to have
it inviolate. Otherwise, one would be
constantly exciting animosity of old
friends for accepting one dinner invi
tation and declining another.
" 'There has never yet been invent
ed a way to eat your cake and have it,'
says Dewey; 'neither can you abuse
your health and have it.
