AFFIRMATIVE
WINS DEBATE
United States Should Have
More Powerful Navy.

The affirmative side, holding that
the United States should maintain a
more powerful navy, won the debate
between the two sophomore English
classes of the high school yesterday
afternoon in the school auditorium.
The alternatives comprised students
of the B division taught by Miss
Hufford. The negatives comprise
students of the d division, taught by
Miss Fletcher. Although the judges
admitted that the negatives develop
ed some very strong points, they de-
cided unanimously in favor OF the
affirmative, who as a whole seemed
better able to place their facts in a
more forceful way. Their gestures
and general expression were features.
A good point developed by Miss
Cheshansky, of the negative side, had
reference to Germany's rank as a
naval power. She emphatically said
that the reason Germany maintained
such q powerful navy was because
she was forced to owing to the sever
al rival countries on her border.
But" added she, "the United States
has not any nations on her border
to fear" However, Hoyt Palmer, OF
the affirmative side, in his talk spoke
of the Mexican strifes just south OF
US.
A good point brought out by the
affirmative was in reference to the
weaker nation being afraid of the
stronger one, or, as the debater put
it, the boy who is afraid to fight Is
no match for the muscular lad. Fur
ther discrimination would perhaps
be unfair.
E. Hoyt Palmer was captain Of the
victorious team. With him were
Miss Ella O'Neill and Clifford Rob-
erts. Those who so strongly upheld
the negative side were: Miss Mar
garet Conquest, captain, and the
Misses Bessie Bastedo and Rose
Chesh ansky. The judges were the
following of the high school faculty:
Miss Rose Mccormick, Mr.. William
son and Mr.. Sturgis.
An excellent musical program was
arranged by the committee. Sol.
Kaufman, accompanied on the piano
by Edward Peterson, entertained
with a violin solo. Mandolin solos by
Miss Laura Koyen, accompanied on
the piano by Miss Mae Schwartzstein,
were also enjoyed. A social hour,
during which time ice cream and
cake were served, followed. The
program committee: Misses Eliza
beth Doris, Ruth Bawden, Beatrice
Liddle, Helen Macmillan, Lille
Roessler, Sophie Pfeiffer and Miss
Anderson.

HAVE PLAN TO
ENLARGE BLDG.
Wolff Property at Smith and
Hobart Streets.

Plans are being completed by the
architectural firm of J. N. Pierson &
Son for improving and enlarging the
former Wolff building at the south
west corner of Smith and Hobart
streets, now owned by Isaac Alpern.
The main portion of the building Is
to remain one story high. All the
store fronts will be reconstructed in
up to date fashion. Two of the
present stores will be removed to en-
large others.
Two stores at the westerly end of
the building are to be converted into
one. The fourt stores east of these
will be extended back farther than
they are now, distance equal to the
width of one of them. This will
cause the removal of one of two
stores facing on Hobart street. A
modern photograph gallery will be
constructed over the center of the
building.
