SEWARD LADIES SCOURING
FOR INSTRUCTOR OF SAN
FRANCISCO’S LATEST “HOP”
A number of ladies in town arc
endeavoring to secure the services
of a dancing instructor to teach them
the “Charleston,” as danced now.
Many of the ladies have the steps
written on paper, but that is like
having a check book with no money
in the bank, so they say. Anyone
knowing the new “hop” should ad
vise the Gateway and their name
will be published so they can make
connections with the parties wishing
to have the dance “down pat” for the
big Ball, New Year’s Eve under the
auspices of the local Firemen.
Here’s Your Man;
Take Him Away
We found ’em girls!
A blonde-headed Scandinavian, a
member of the popular steamer Starr
crew, is a living exponent of the ter
pischorean art which includes all
the intricacies accompanying the
movements of the “late Charleston”
strutting. A number of ladies, as
is printed in another column of to
day’s issue are “dying” for the pleas
ure of securing the services of an
instructor of the above art; the
reporter on the Gateway staff has
learned this much.
The news, concerning the above
lad is authentic, according to his
shipmates, who would not divulge
his name for publicaton owing to the
local report today that a number of
Sevrard's young fair sex are in search
of some one to teach them the
Charleston steps, for the young man
in question is quite modest and bash
ful. “He sure shakes a mean hoof,”
said one of the officers this afternoon,
and during the recent dances held at
Westward ports, created havoc among
thelades to the envy of his ship
mates.”

APPOINTEES TO
NAVAL ACADEM1
NUMBER OF OFFICERS OF NAV>
PERSONNEL GRADUALLY
INCREASING.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 23. (/P
—The demands of naval aviatioi
alone require an increase in the
number of appointees to the Nava
Academy, Rear Admiral W. R. Shoe
maker, chief of the Bureau of Navi,
gation, said today in his annual re
port to Secretary Wilbur.
Admiral Shoemaker urged thai
the present allotment of three ap.
pointees to each representative and
senator be increased to at least four
which he estimated would make
available between 700 and 750 offi
cers for naval aviation, while the
training of an equal number of en
listed men as pilots would bring the
:otal estimated by the Bureau of
Aeronautics to be necessary for car
eying out its program.
Admiral Shoemaker does not be
ieve in naval aviators remaining per
nanently with that branch of the
service but holds they should be
issigned to other duties from time
o time, as “the aviation problem
echnically as to the knowledge re
tired is no more specialized than
he operation of any other type and
s even less than the requirement
n some of the technical branches of
he line in which specialization is
tot necessary now.”
The recommendaton of last year
hat the enlisted strength of the navy
te increased to 96,000 was reiterated
n the report and it is pointed out
hat under last year’s appropriation
he present authorized strength of
6,000 had to be reduced to 82,000
>ecause of insufficient funds.
The past year saw a general im
irovement in the character and ex
perience of navy personnel, the re
port said, with the number of of
icers gradually increasing.
