NEED A NAVY
 FOR PEACE SAYS
 ADMIRAL DEWEY

Washington, June 25.-An ade- Quate American navy means a fleet second only to that of Great Britain. and "inadeQuacy is an invitation to war; in the opinion of Admiral Dewey, ranking naval officer of the United States
 'T believe fit is the duty of each generation to pay it's own insurance and not to thrust it's burdens on the generations that come after; and the insurance for peace is a, navy strong enough to compel it," says the ad- n1iral in an article written for the program for navy day at Newport. R, l., July 2, and just made public.
 seThe only function and Justification for the existence of a navy is the preservation of peace,'' the article continues. ITO perform this function the navy must be adequate; and though much discussed in these re- cent times, the word adequate as ap- piled to the navy has but one mean ing, and that is an adequate navy, is 8 navy of a strength sufficient to meet and defeat any probable enemy. This strength is not absolutes but is rela- as the other naval powers of the world vary their naval strengths. At the present period adequacy on our part calls. for 8 navy second in strength to that of England only.
 We ourselves, through lack of foresight of our fathers and grand fathers, have paid the penalty of our generation in the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives, and our sons and grandsons have been the costs of the billions of dollars wasted and the hundreds of millions in pensions for which they were mortgaged; and they still continue to pay.
 we are paying today for the navy as insurance which does not insure us, roughly $1-5O per capita per an num- Besides what has already been paid in lives and money, we are still nortgaged by lack of foresight in our fathers, to the extent of the national debt and the additional $1SO per capita per annum that we are paying in pensions.
 Shall our lack of foresight con tinue this system of mortgaging the coming generations. or shall we add the relatively small sum needed to the insufficient insurance we all pay to make that insurance adequate ?'s

value Of products more than twelve times as great as in 1889.
 During the fve-year period ending with 1904 the industry declined very rapidly. The number of establishments decreased from 312 to 101, or 67.6 per cent; the average number of wage earneES from 17s525 to 3.319, or 31.1 per cent; the value Of products from $31,- 915. .9O8 to $5, ,153, 240, or SS.9 per cent. and the value added by manufacture terials) from s15. 123. .sH to $2.525, ,0e4, or
 S3.S per cent.
 A considerable recovery of the in-
 dustry as a whole is indicated by the statistics for 1909. While the number
 of establishments in that year shows a decrease from the number in 1904, the average number of wage earners in-
 creased 1,118 or 3S.7 per cent, and
 the value. of products, $5,545.a a27, or 1o7.6 per cent. The most important factor in the renewal of activity in the industry has been the growing
 demand for motorcycles.
 The average number of persons, en-
 gagged in the bicycle and motorcycle industry during 1909 was 5,017, of whom A. ,437, or S8.4 per cent. were fe-
 males. Of the establishments report ed in 1909 about half were operated by individuals. The value of the pro- ducts of such blishments, how ever, represented only five per cent of i the total value reported. Nearly all Of the business is done by establish ments under corporate ownership. There was a considerable increase in the relative importance of estab-
 Iishments having products valued at l S1Go, ,O0O- and over; this class of estab- I,lish1nents reported 9o.6 per cent. of the total value of products in 1909. As already stated. the industry was declining at the census of 1899, yet more than 1000, ,o00 bicycles were made I in that year. The output in 1904 was | barely one-hfth as great and there had been a further decline by 1909. No tandem bicycles or tricycles for adults | were manufactured in 1909, although their manufacture had been reported
 at the two preceding censuses. On the other hand the development of
 the motorcycle branch of the industry
 has practically all taken place within | the decade 1899 1909. and more par 1 ticularly in the second half of the de- | cade.

NO RECEIVER FOR
 s. N. E. RAILROAD

Boston, June 25.-The Southern New Englands Railway Company, which was organized as subsidiary of the Grand Trunk Railway to construct an exten- sion Of that system from Palmer, Mass.s to tidewater at Providence, R. l., will not be placed in the hands od a receiver at present. Judge Braley of the Supreme Court has so ruled at the hearing on the petition for the by John Marsch, Chicago contractor. Judge sBraley said the case seemed to causfor a master. Marsch alleges his contract with the Southern New England has cost him $1, SIG, ,oO0, of which only $500, GOO has been paid to him. He charges that much of the cost to his company fol lowed the cessation of construction work on the line.
 The case will come up in the Su- preme Court again on Thursday, when counsel will report on the question of transferring it to the United States court Discussion of that point was started in court yesterday by the fact that some of the creditors Of the com pany reside outside the State. Judge Braley expressed doubt as to whether the transfer could be made.
 Unless the case is transferred, be- y.ond the Supreme. Courts Jurisdiction. the hearing will be resumed there on July 1 regarding the appointment of a master.

 Washington. June 25-Statistfcs for the bicycle, motorcycle and parts in dustry are presented in a bulletin from to be issued by Director Durand of the Bureau of the Census, Depart ment of Commerce. It was prepared Steuart, chief statistician for Manufac- lures.
 The number of bicycles made de- creased from 1,182 691, valued at S23. = 656, ,4s7, in 1899 to 250, 4s7, with a value Of S3,740. 1928, in 1904, and 233, ,7O7 valued at $3,228. .189 in 1909, while the output of motorcycles increased from 160 valued at $33. 674, in 1899, to 2,32S valued at $359, ,1sO, in 1904, and IS, ,628 with a value of $3.015, 9Ss in 1909.
 The evolution of the bicycle from primitive and unserviceab1e types to useful and attractive means of trav- e1 may be said to have taken place between 1868 and 1890; and it's perfec- tion and standardizat ation into practical ly one form of structure, the modern safety between 1890 and 1895. Dur ing this latter period the popularity of the bicycle became so widespread that the industry grew very rapidly. but after about 1897 1t began to de- cline.
 Tn 1889 there were 27 establishments engaged in the industry, which gave employment. to an average of 1,797 wage earners and reported products valued at $2, 568 326. At the census of 1899, after the industry had begun to decline, the average number of wage earners was nearly ten times and the

The Holy Rollers are still at their camp grounds in Radc1iff's grove at Long Hill. On visiting the meeting we expected to be at least 1nystihed. but were denied even this satisfaction. On entering the two large tents filled to overhowing the Rollers were at pray CT. a frenzied preacher standing up in front, while all over the tents were Wailing and weeping and shouts of
 Glory Hal1elujah.' Following this was sermon of about an hours dura- ton after which many socalIed mira cles took place. One of the believers on being asked if she approved of all this seemed doubtful of what reply to make Another woman of goodIy aver dupois, in the exuberance of her joy, lost her balance and consequently the lantern of a lady sitting directly back of her suffered severe injuries At the back of the tent several Of the fol- lowers were so filled with joy as to be entirely oblivious of their surroundings but on viewing them directly after the meeting they were mingling with the crowd apparently no worse for the condition in which they had been plac- ed. Excitement ran high when a lit tie girl of perhaps Il or 12 years of age was brought in and with the aid of Mrs. Estter and one of her followers was transported to heaven and back again. Mrs. Etter said: ''See the little angel standing in front of me?''

Some women do this by pinching and biting. but this will spoil the con tour of the lips The best way to tint the lips, while you are wooing the blood back into them by proper care of your health, is to rub on a little cold cream that has been col ored with carmine. This is perfect 1y. harmless and the oils in the cold cream help to keep the lips soft
 I need not tell you that scarlet lips make woman look hard and ugly, so be careful not to make too great use of the carmined cold cream.

and making good natures mistakes.
 If q man had not improved upon nature we would still be walking on four legs instead of two. There is no reason in the world why a woman should not improve on nature. If her eyebrows grow in an ugly line she can change them. Why should the woman with pale, anaemic lips publish the fact of her misfortune to the world !?
 Mind you, do not advocate the use of makeup to cover up rayages that are made because one neg1ects her physical health
