MARINE CORPS NOTES
Conjecture is rife throughout Marine
Corps circlet as to which of the six
brigadier generals will be appointed a
major general. Brig. Gen. Lcgan Fe
land, who at present commands the pa
cificatory expedition now on duty in
Nicaragua, will, according to the con
sensus of opinion in corps circles, be the
logical officer for promotion by reason
of his long years of active duty and
further in especial on account of the
efficiency shown in his handling of the
delicate situation in Nicaragua, where,
instead of the Marines being held in
antipathy by the law-abiding native
element, they have, on the contrary, be
come immensely popular. However, un
less the pending personnel bill becomes
law there will be no vacancy.
Col. John Twiggs Myers, at present
attached to Corps Headquarters, is the
senior colonel of the corps on the ac
tive list, and in hte event that a va
cancy exists as the outcome of pending
legislation it is generally expected that
Col. Myers would be promoted to brig
adier general.
The Marines attached to the battle
ship fleet have a new aspirant for na
tional fistic honors in Sergt. Harry
Cozner of the Marine detachment of
the U. S. S. Maryland. It is likely that
Cozner when transferred ashore from
the Maryland will be ordered to one of
the corps training stations, where his
prowess will be given more opportunity
to show itself before civilian audiences.
One of the New York promoters, having
heard of Cozner, is already endeavoring
to get him signed up in several prelim
inary events scheduled months ahead.
The coming encampments of the Ma
rine Corps reservists scheduled for the
Summer at San Diego. Calif., and
Quantico, Va., respectively, will, it is
stated, be the largest in the history of
the corps during peace times. The
building up of an adequate Marine
Corps reserve has been one of the pet
hobbies of Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune,
who has made every endeavor to arouse
the interest of the corps collectively to
the task of helping in every manner the
attainment of the goal sought.
Chief Marine Gunner Elmo Reagan,
now on duty in Haiti, is scheduled for
assignment to duty at Quantico, Va.
The following commissioned officers of
the corps, heretofore on duty In China,
will upon arrival in the United States
be assigned td duty at Marine Barracks,
Quantico, Va. Col. William B. Lemly,
assistant quartermaster: Capt. L. C.
Shepherd, Capt. L. S. Swindler. Capt.
James E. Betts and First Lieut. Leo
Healey. Capt. Betts and Lieut. Healey
will arrive on this coast via Army
transport St. Mihiel. scheduled to leave
San Francisco, Calif., on or about Feb
ruary 13.

Life Appears and Disappears.
During last Summer jellyfish were
noticed swimming about in the huge
fresh-water tank which houses the
large Victoria Regia lily in the Botanic
Gardens, Regents Park, and the prob
lem is where they come from. They
were first observed in 1880 and their
appearance was a mystery.
For three years they inhabited the
tank, and then, in 1883, they disap
peared as suddenly as they had come.
It was thought at first that the drain
ing of the tank for six months in the
year explained the mystery, for no
jellyfish like being out of water.
Now. after an absence of 45 years,
the jellyfish are once more swimming
in the tank in which they were first
found.
WOMAN PHYSICIAN
KEEPS 150 CANARIES
Tampa Doctor, Nearing 70-Ye~
Mark, Maintains Sanctuary
for Feathered Friends.
TAMPA, Pl*.—Dr. M*ry Nichols hs
a bird ,iarem containing 150 canarie.
of various kinds.
Dr. Nichols’ sanctuary is a large
screened porch. The pets move in and
out of little white homes and gilded
cages at will. They are not ordinary
canaries, for when she gave up her
medical practice some years ago to
build up her own health Dr. White con
centrated intelligently and efficiently on
her hobby.
“My feathered friends need fresh ait
and plenty of sunshine to grow strong,
just like children,” Dr. White says.
“They sleep in the open on the coldest
nights, and no morning is too bracing
to keep them from their baths. Like
children, they fuss and fight, kiss and
make up. snatch food from each other
and later share choice morsels.
“Like children, too. their voices must
be trained. When a class Is ready. I
bring an expert songster from New
York. If not trained they will choose
their own notes, slur them and gener
ally follow the line of least resistance
Music is another method of training.
They will follow notes carefully and ac
curately.”
