of delightful dinners and pleasant so

Word was received here yesterday
afternoon that 3 further investigation
Of the Pearl Harbor drydock situation
was to be made on the ground, and
that the engineering puzzle which has
tied up work on the big ship basin
would be tackled by still another ex-
pert or experts, probably civilians. be-
fore any final decision was reached as
to the resumption Of the work, and the
distribution Of financial responsibility
for the disaster. This is in line with
the rumored intention of Secretary
Daniels to employ outside help on the
drydock problem, owing to the inabii-
ity of the navy civil engineers to agree
in their reports. The new investiga-
ton will begin here some time next
month.

It was some show. He would have
gotten by as a professional but for
defects in sliding. 1t seemed impos-
sible for him to get his head well to
the front. Hence. it happened that
when he streaked it for base he
would slip up and come down on his
knees. This amused the bleachers and
contributed to the general gaiety.
When cloudburst stopped the
game at the end Of the fourth inning,
all the statesmen bumped it for shell

before and took it leisurely. He mere
