Franklin Roosevelt Testifies.
Franklin Roosevelt, assistant secre-
tary of the navy, was a witness be-
fore the committee today.
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked by Repre-
sentative Hobson what the country
could depend on in time of war Tor
proper expansion of the personnel of
the navy.
I'VE have about 51,OOv men in the
regular navy now" he replied. 1T is
unlikely that in case of war we would
need $4,000 additional men. Naturally
we should not keep this number in
peace time. That makes the necessity
of a naval reserve. l think we can
command 1000 naval militia if all of
the naval militia, as now organized,
should volunteer The Navy Depart
ment is now investigating what num-
Der Of the naval militia will volunteer"

A. and so forth shopped and shopped, And every day the wornout girls behind their counters dropped, And every eve till Christmas eve she kept on shopping early But never buying anything. till she was crazy, nearly. On Christmas eve she came at noon-she had to have rest She rushed about from shop to shop in fierce and frantic quest, But everything she wanted had been pur- chased by the others Who had to act as Santa Claus for par ents. sisters, brothers. Miss Alice Amarantha Ann De Buster burg was so Fatigued with early shopping that she could no longer go From shop to shop. She had to drop upon rest room bed And swoon-oh, shame!-but when she came unto herself she said For twenty days I've early shopped as hard as l could do 1t, To help these shopworn shopgirls out. I've simply buckled to it. And now that I've decided what really want to buy These horrid shops have nothing left! Oh. my! Oh, me! Oh. my!''

In all probability there will be men running who are entirely un- fitted for the positions to which they asplre, and it is up to the voters to get next to these runners and keep the n running so hard that they Will still De running LOT Nccho oisSA tAA- race is over. It takes a good man to be a good runner. You can't feed man on taffy and get his head so bloated that he is top-heavy and ex- pect him to win race.

A clique in this town would make it an obstacle race. Go to it.
