The secretary revealed that the navy has drafted a definite 20-year program, but said that the navy begging it not to make its details public now.
"Is this five-year program merely a starter then?" Representative Britten, Republican of Illinois, asked.
"Well, it might be put that way," Wilbur replied.

But when replacements begin in 1932 at expiration of the Washington arms conference limitation treaty expenses would not accumulate suddenly.
Expenditures for the five year program he proposed would be spread over eight years.
Moonlight Dances Barred Owing to Evil Tendency
So a movement was started to make moonlight dance taboo at Kansas, back when "this morning" meant a day in December, 1911. Prominent musician S. G. A. investigated the matter and decided the dance should be banned.
"Moonlight dances are simply excuses for spooning," a woman student who has joined the reform movement said this morning, "and I think they should be abolished. I am not going to use all my influence to have them eliminated from K. U. social life."
Before their investigation was begun, and long after, too, for all the details of the project, we were features of the varity dances held in downtown. The room was filled with a murky darkness of the dim glimmering of an artificial moon when the real one was not

Students Use Varied Methods in Wild Efforts to Be Prepared for Exigencies of Exam Week
This is a story on finals. While everyone seems to know all about them there should be a story on them any way.
They are the days of worry and the nights when the midnight oil is burned. Hair is turned gray. The young become old over night, and the older ones look for new and surfer ways of studying to get passing grades.
There seem to be hundreds of systems with their special advocates. Some take them all hours at a time on their subjects, then in this way they cannot possibly funk. Other students do not believe in studying at all for the final examinations, or even in happy-go-lucky or have lots of confidence in their own ability.
Many students wake up at 4 or 5

Some stories are told of students who thought they had to get half drunk to study effectively for the exam. But they could remember what they read much better if they were not too far gone from school. In the words they wished to learn.
A whole book could be written on methods of study for finals, and in all cases could be marketed for it, as there seems to be no volume of this type on sale at the time.
