Washington, Oct. 6.-Advocates
of large increase in the navy ap-
preparation by the next congress are
rejoicing tonight over the speech OF
the president in Cairo. They take it
to be the first gun in the campaign
he has mapped out for authorization
for several ships that will mark
definitely the breaking from the old
program of merely building ship
year. Here are some of the things
the president said
No fight can ever be won except
by hitting, says the president. and
we can only hit by means of the
navy.
Since the days of Napoleon no wal
between two great powers has last
ed as long as 1t would take TO build
battle ship.
The navy must be built in time OF
peace. We nave a good navy, but
not yet large enough for our needs
Where a navy is as small as ours
the cardinal rule must be that the
battle ships shall not be separated.
Not the least good the long ocean
voyage will do will be to show just
the points where our naval program
needs strengthening.
In other words, congress is TO be
asked to provide for much more new
construction at the next session
than has been asked for in several
years. Just how many battle ships
will be recommended has not yet
been determined. a statement by
Secretary Metcalf this afternoon Civ

suggested TO him that congress pro.
badly would be willing to authorize
three battle ships.
-Four would be better" he re-
piled quickly.
The secretary has not yet decided
on the recommendations which he
will make to the president In his
annual report. He mas the recon-
mendation OF the general moard of
the navy now under consideration,
and within a short time will take up
that part of his report and settle
what he shall ask the president Ia
ask from congress. 1t will cover not
only battle ships, but other classes
OF naval boats as well. A liberal ap

Smashing of Bike Records.

The frequency with which the bunch
of bicycle riders herea bouts smash
records is not at all surprising, when
one takes into consideration that the
riders are getting faster each, year
and conditions in both Salt Lake and
Ogden are the best at the present time
The general public takes these new
records as a matter of fact, but some
times the riders themselves and those
closely connected with the game dis
pute the accuracy of the timing.
This has always been the case, and it
was most noticeable six years ago
when w. z. Samuelson rode his IA
nous mile in 1853 2-5, breaking the rec
ord of 1:55 held by w. w. Hamilton of
Denver for five years. When it was
advertised that Billy would make the
trial at the saucer track, bets were
placed all over town that he could not
turn the trick. Other riders at the
track, who were perhaps jealous of the
great speed shown by the Provo man,
were the iOudest in their statements
that it could not be done. When the
record trial finally came off, there
were perhaps fifty watches held on
but there were no complaints heard
when the official time was announced
as 1853 2-5, and many of the specta-
tors caught the time less.
This ride six years ago was a Won
derful one, but the writer believes
Frank Kramer can today beat this
time on the local track. He might have
to use a higher gear than the one he
is using iii the sprint races, but with
a weeks trial it is believed he can beat
that mark

Alex Greggains, who is perhaps bet

again, and is working hard on the Mel
son-Britt fight for the latter part OF

among other things, Greggains says:
well, l am back in the game again
and expect to pull off the Britt-Nelson
contest. Knowing that you would be
interested and, as / believe it will be
the fight of the year. l thought I would

and says if he does not whip Nelson

fident and, as promoter, I say let the

who still know the old man could fight

FitzsimmOns' showing calls me back
to the time when he was matched to
fight Mike Schreck in this city. The
match was suddenly called off, and
Fitz took occasion to take a slam at
salt Lake and Promoter Willard Bean
as an excuse.
The writer on that occasion said that
the true reason for the calling off of
the match was that FitzsimmOns was
all in and his manager, Leon Freed
man, discovered this fact as soon as he
arrived on the ground. 1t was also
stated that Schreck would easily beat
him in a fight, and that Fitzsimmons
would meet defeat the next time he
entered the ring. FitZ has fought
twice since then. First it was taking
Jack O'BTien and then Jack Johnson
who put the famous fighter away. 1t

One of the hardest auto trips ever

fornia Nevada Electric company. who.
with a party of engineers, journeyed

Taximeter cabs were known to the
Romans, according to Professor Paul

being provided with an apparatus
which every 1000 PAGES dropped a small
stone into a vase. The passenger count

One cause of heavy wear of the front
tires is looseness in the steering lever
joints. When there is much play in
these the wheels are allowed to stray
out of the parallel track so that the
tire tread in contact with the ground
is really scrubbing on the road all the
time, instead of only rolling
