Just little, Bah,
Minot rose and went out on the
avenue.
Prince Navin Bey Imno was accu5-
toned to give lectures twice daily on
the textures of his precious rugs, at
his shop in the Alameda courtyard.
His afternoon lecture was just finished
as Mr.. Minot stepped into the shop. A
dozen awed housewives from the Mid
die West were hurrying away to write
home on the hotel stationery that they
had met a prince. When the last one
had gone out MinOt stepped forward.
''Prince-I've dropped in to warn
you. A very angry woman will be
here shortly to see you"
The handsome young Persian shrug-
ged his shoulders, and took off the
jacket of the native uniform with
which he embellished his talks.

but Gabrielle Roses "big scene" was
ruined beyond repair.

Gabrielle Rose snapped her fingers.
Very we'll" Her voice had a metal

AS Minot, somewhat dazed, walked
along the veranda of the De la Pax he
met Miss Meyrick. There was a mis-
chievOus CLEAN in her eye.
Really, it was so tactless of me, Mr..
Minot," she said "A thousand apollo

MinOt smiled wanly, and for once
sought to end their talk.
"Oh, do sit down just a moment"
she pleaded. 81 want to thank you for
the great service you did Harrowby

"Wha-what service?" asked Minot,
sinking into a chair.
She leaned close, and spoke in a
whisper.
Your part in the kidnapping. Har-

you-so unselfish."

TO TAKE PROFIT OUT OF OUR DEFENSE
 PROGRAM
Associated Press)

w Hat LIlC lldVy CApEClS tO do toward preventing private manufacturers from reaping excessive profits on the ex- penditure of hundreds of mil lions involved in the adminiS- tration'S national defense program was outlined by Sec retary Daniels in a speech at the North Carolina state fair. MT. Daniels said hlS annual report to Congress would recommend legislation to enable the government to equip itself to build more naval craft, make it's own armor plate and greatly ex- tend it's manufacture of nlu- nitiOnS.
 The government has in. vested many millions of dol lars in navy" said the secre- tary, and unless this invest ment is utilized for new con- struction, much of it is vast ed. If the government is pre- pared to construct naval craft, private shipbuilding companies in making con- tracts must compete with government yards. This tends to secure competitive prices and prevent combina- tions among private corpora tionS to charge higher prices than conditions justify.
 Not only must the yards be able to build ships, but naval establishments should be equipped to make DOT ton of all munitions of war.
 In this connection, MT. Daniels pointed out that the government paid 80 cents a pound to a government man. ufacturer a few years ago to make powder, but the navy was now making it at a cost of about 25 cents a pound. Torpedoes and mines he said, were also being manufactur- ed by the government at a great saving of lnoIIey.
 These cases could be multi plied," he added. Do not understand me to advocate any monopoly by the govern

things we can buy from pri- vate manufacturers at a req sonable price. The navy, however, should be free to make large part of it's own munitions if private concerns charge excessive prices as has sometimes been the case.
 It has been ascertained by a special commission that the navy, with a modern plant, can manufacture armor plate from $23O to $26O, as against the hon-competitive prices of $425 to $486 a ton charged in the last contract. Experience in Europe teaches that the navy should no long CT rely on private manufac- turers for projectiles. And if Congress approves, we will erect large factory which will turn out a large product of 14-inch armor-piercing shells, as we'll as smaller pro- jectileS. This will insure bet ter shells and better competi- ton.
 The secretary particularly directed the attention of the Southern farmers to the lack of ships in the American mer- chant marine to carry their produce to those who need it and are willing to pay for it.
 What the navy needs, and in case of trouble would need sorely,' he added, "are auxiliaries properly built and equipped with trained Amerl- cans. A merchant marine with foreign crews is not an American need, either for commerce or defense"
 Explaining why a five-year building program for the navy was decided upon, MT. Daniels said:
 Wise men in and out of the navy, believe that the program, involving an expen- allure of five hundred mil lion dollars, will give us a navy we'll proportioned and far better than so large a pro- gram is based upon all that could be learned by naval ex-. perts in Europe and our na- val statesmen in America"
 Hope that an international understanding eventually be reached by the na- val powers was expressed by

kent AND SUSSEX
TEACHERS IN INSTITUTE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MILFORD Del. Nov. 9.-Milford is
today entertaining the institutes Of
two counties, Kent and Sussex. I'm
der the law it is necessary for the in
stitutes to hold separate sessions and
for this reason it was impossible for a
joint institute of the teachers OF the
State to be held in Dover, as planned.
Sussex teachers are meeting in Ar
mory Hall, South Milford, which is in
Sussex county, while the teachers Of
Kent county are meeting in the New
Century Club building in North Mil
ford and in sight Of the Sussex county
meeting place.
This morning was devoted to the
registration OF the teachers, nearly
$50 OF whom are in attendance. The
sessions will be held separately but
by holding the institutes in the same
town the same speakers can be used
to address both bodies.
This afternoon there were devo-
tional services conducted by the Rev.
w. r. Mowbray. Music was in charge
of Professor James L. Gibson. The
speakers were Dr. w. II. Foght, who
took as his subject: 1.-THE Teachers
Place in the Rural Movement" and
DR.. Charles A. Wagner, State srperin-
tendent OF education, who spoke on
school work in this State in general.

aas been a rush for tenantable houses
and dwellings by powder makers and
their families. who have more than
doubled the population of this place
during the last year.
During the last few months scores
Of new houses have been erected with

not including the new villages of

from one to a score Of new dwellings.
Vacant lots have scared in value and
dwellings and stores are rapidly go

section. Additions have been built to
the old stores and several houses
have been converted into shops and
restaurants. The road leading from
Pennsgrove TO the powder camp is
lined with dozens Of small merchan-
disc stores, groceries and lunch
stands.
Hundreds of families have lived in
the lighthouses and tent colonies here
during the summer, but it is believed
that only those in the snuggest Of

overcrowded during the winter. as it
will not be possible to provide suit

powder makers and their families be-

taken by the powder company to re-

Parents Should KnOtU
This Splendid Remedy

Simple Laxative Compound Helps to
Correct Constipation in Children.
With all children there are times when
the bowels fail to act naturally and it
becomes necessary for the parents TO
administer remedy. Cathartics and
purgatives should never be used as these
agents afford only temporary relief,
while their violent action shocks the
system unduly. AIRS. Eva f. Gaff, 5l7
10th st. Washington, d. c., says that
her J. tile girl, Marie, had been subject to
constipation and that she found DR..
