Somebody said that it couldn't be done
But he with chucklc replied:
That maybe it couldn't" but he would
be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he bucklcd right in, with trace Of
grin
On his face. If he worried he hid ii.
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done and he did
it.
Somebody sconcd: oh you'll never
do that
At least no one ever has done it;
But he took off his coat and he took
off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd
begun it,
With lift OF his chin and q VT or a
grin,
Without any doubling or Quiddit

There are thousands to point out tc

The dangers that wait to aSsail YOU

Then take off your coat and so to il
Just start in TO sing as you tackle the

That "can not he donc"-and you'll
do it.

WASH fROCKS HAVE THEIR DAY

New York, July 2G.--Wash frocks
are not what they used to be. Indeed,
you have to rub your eyes and look
twice to believe such altogether smart
garments were ever intended to touch
the water. The nets, the voiles, the
Swsscs, and even the linens, have that
mysterious something called chic in
their makeup that gives them cntree
wherever the one-piece silk dress may
so.
Skirts Overlap Waists and Vice Versa
The treatment Of the waistline is
one Of the most important features Of
the frocks that the big stores are
showing us. Invariably. the skirt
comes up and finishes with heading

overlapping OF waist and skirt offers

THE NEW SCOUT
~ CRUISERS TO BE
~. SWIFTEST EVER

Washington. Oct. 22.-The 10 scout
cruisers contemplated in the five-year
naval building program to be erecom-
mended to Congress. will be the swift
est vessels Of this class ever built, If
tentative plans now under considera-
ton by the general board are approx
ed. They will be of greater displace-
ment than the cruisers Salem. Chester
and Birmingham. the only craft OF the
kind now in service, but will have a
sustained speed of 80 knots or more
an hour and maximum speed prob
ably in excess of 81 knots, the gait at
which the giant battle cruisers to be
built will be able to travel in an emer-
gency.
The navy. now has many destroyers
which can make 80 knots in calm
sea and many more will be added with
in tie five-year period. They are so
low in the water and SO light in
weight however, that they cannot
maintain this seepd in rough weather
or for any Considerable distance. The
new scouts will be big enough and
carry enough fuel oil to cross the At
lantic at a swifter pace than the fast
est present cay liners, keeping up the
pace in all but heavy storms.

Washing ton, Oct. differentiation
Of the naval districts Of the United
states and the insular possessions to
aid the bureau Of naval intelligence in
gathering information that will be OF
use to the department in war or peace
times, is included in plans upon which
officers Of the navy department are at
work.
There are Is of the districts, In addi-
ton to those at Honolulu, Manila and
Panama, each under the supervision
of the commandant of a navy yard in
that region.
An Organized System
II is proposed to make this organiza-
ton active in registering all American
merchant vessels that might be Of
use in war times. including power
boats and motor launches, to organize
by these districts the various radio
stations, public and private. as long
distance eavesdroppers to listen In
on any wireless conversation at sea
off the coasts and to make proposed
navy training camps correspond to the
district organization.
A proposal has been made and prob
ably will be presented to Congress this
winter, that all pleasure power boats
be required to. carry register by num-
Der in order that close track may be
kept on them. The boats would have
considerable value as aids to the great
