Washington, Nov. 29.-Battle eff

proving, Admiral Benson, chief of
operations told the house naval COM
mittee today but the recent ship
problem still keeps many from the
active fleet. With 81 battleships in
the list only four are in full commits

teal reasons he thought it better not
to commission more than II until
enough of the new ships were avail
able to make a total fighting line of

needed, Admiral Benson said, il
would be better to get all the armored
cruisers on the Pacific coast and all
the reserve destroyers and other
smaller craft for scouting work into
full commission than to take the older
battleships out of reserve. He
thought so per cent crews of well
trained men on the reserve ships
would be ample preparation against

SHORTACEOF OFFICE BOYS
FORCES BUSINESS OFFICES
TO EMPLOY ELDERLY.MEN
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York Nov. 29-The shortage
of office and errand boys has become
so acute here that many business
firms are employing elderly men. The
difficulty in getting Juvenile office
boys is attributed to the present
boom in business. Columns of want
ads and window signs of ''boys want
ed" testify to the situation.
The head of one of the largest
printing and publishing houses in
New York, which now depends almost
entirely upon men of so to so for
work previously done by boys, de-
clares that the elderly office BOYS
give better satisfaction. He attributes
the shortage of boys largely to the
fact that parents who formerly ~.
their boys at work after they COM
pleted grammar school are giving
them at better education.
