some years Mr. Reardon died and
Aunt Polly" sent for Mr. Evans

His wife was named Peggy. Aunt

about IA years of age, some months

Mr. Reardon had quite a lot of

pen with the other mixers, beating
around with her big gourd, milking,
too, like the others. Jean was quite
a. tease sometimes. and on a certain
moonlight night she was picking at

Admiral Fisher Talks of Efficiency.

m FlSHcT tdihS W -hiS'S'iSJ'
Washington.-Five years would be
required to put the United States
Navy in the highest state of eff
cheney to meet a hostile feet, accord
ing to a statement by Rear Admiral
Fiske before the House Naval Com
mittee. The Admiral, who is chief
of the Bureau of Operations, member
of the general board and a former
president of the Naval Institute, said
the Navy was deficient in air craft,
mines, scout cruisers, torpedo-boat de-
stroyers, submarines and in number of
trained officers and men and had no
mine sweepers.
Members of the committee were
particularly interested in Admiral
Fishes view as to the possibility of
foreign air craft dropping bombs on
American cities. He expressed the
opinion that an attacking fleet might
begin sending it's airships on bomb
dropping fights over New York from
a range of 500 to 600 miles off the
coast.
One fpreign Navy, which was nam
ed, the Admiral said, was more eff
cient than the American fleet / n gun
merry. This he declared however, was
so only because the American marks
men had not been given adequate OPP
p~ortunity for practice.
