MAN AND BREAD AND DONKEY
A Daily Spectacle In Spain Between

Alcala and Seville.
Bread made in Alcala. Spain. is Of
such exceptional goodness that the vii
lage is famous throughout the country
as "Alcala of the breadmakers." Each
loaf is carefully stamped with the
trademark of the town before baking.
An early train leaves Alcala daily for
Seville, and before daylight long lines
of pannicr laden mules begin to arrive
from all directions. At the station the
panniers are removed and placed in
freight cars, the donkeys being driven
into similar cars, and mules, drivers
and bread are all transported by train
to Seville.
Here amid scrambling, hallooing and
shrill cries the animals are unloaded,
panniers adjusted, and the bread sell
crs go forth into the streets of Seville,
calling their wares and boasting of the
fineness of the Alcala bread. They re-
urn at midday, pack their empty pan,
niers into the cars, drive in the mules,
light their cigarettes and enter the
third class carriages to be taken back
to their home town, ready for the fol,
lowing days trade.

DOME Bush, the little Detroit short
stop, seems about the most methodical
and consistent Tiger Of them all-not
even barring Ty Cobb. This is indi-
Gated by a comparison Of Bush's off,
cial average for 1913 and 1914.
In 1913 Bush went to bat SOB times,
scored 50 runs, made 149 hits and de-
livered 10 two baggers. His batting
average was PSI.
In 1914 Bush went to bat 500 times,
scored 81 runs. raped $50 hits and
cracked out 1S doubles. His batting
average was .252.
That seems like drawing a pretty
close finish.

DANIELS PLANS TO

Program is to Build Entirely New

HUNDRED sUBsEAs PROPOSED

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1S.-Fifteen
to twenty fighting ships of the dread
nought and battle cruiser type with
q proportionate number Of sea-going
submarines, coast submarines, scout
cruisers, destroyers. and auxiliaries
enough to make a new American
fleets contemplated by Secretary
Daniels for recommendation as a
five-year building program for the
United States navy.
President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels have discussed informally the
needs of the navy and are agreed
that in order to be adequately pre-
pared for defense the present
strength of the fleet must be almost
dobuled in the next five years, with
the addition of many of the latest
type of fast and powerful fighting
craft.
Another Conference Friday.
Details as to numbers have not yet
been finally worked out, but the idea
OF fixing a ratio for continuing pro-
gram over period of five years is the
basic principle upon which the general
board of the navy and Secre. AIRY Daniels
now are planning their recommendations.
Another conference between the presi-
dent and the secretary will be held Fri
day. at which the total number probably
will be fixed.
The five-year naval program when nm
pleted would add In add ton to dread
noughts and battle cruisers nearly 100
submarines, about seventy destroyers
and several scout cruisers and a proper
tionate number OF fuel and hospital ships.
An important part of the program too,
will be a proposal for a large Increase
| in personnel Appropriation for at least
1900 additional men will be asked for the
| first year to make up present deficiencies,
and an adequate number will be sough {
to man the new ships built in the five
year period.
Cost Nenr Quarter Billion.
The total cost Of the proposed program
for the first year, according TO present
plans, is estimated at nearly S24s, 1000 600,
or about s1OO.OOo,OOO increase over last
year. Just what construction should be
provided for the first year has not bee 1
determined. AS to the approximate num-
ber of ships the fleet should have at
the end of five years, however. Officers
of the general board and Secretary
| Daniels are understood to be in thorough
| accord. Admiral Benson, chief of naval
operations. is being consulted daily by
the secretary and within few days the
complete program is expected to be ready
for examination by President Wilson.
It is probable the construction program
| for the first year will exceed that OF
succeeding years in order that urgent de-
ficiencies may be filled promptly. The
| general board has been consistently rec
| ommending four battleships year. bu
last year congress provided only two IL
the regular program, although the build
ing of a third dreadnought was mad
possible by the sale Of the battleships
