NOW IS THE TIME
TO GET YOUR SLEEP

Now is the time for all good peo-
pie to make up that sleep lost on
account of the prolonged heat spell
which has been hanging around
South Bend for 10 days. According
to Weather Observer Swain. the
next few nights are going to be
most conducive to sleep.
At least temporary relief is prom
ised by the weather man. Tues
days maximum temperature was
only so as compared with marks Of
l02, 9S and other kindred high reg
of the past few days.
Early Tuesday the minimum tenn
perature was 63, where previously
it has been around 10 or rs. AT 8
o'clock Tuesday night the mercury
was hanging around the "a notch.
So uncertain has been the wealth
er that Swain does not guarantee
how long this cool spell will stay,
but indications are that it is due to
remain for a couple of days 1t is be-
lieved that this weather is the indi-
rect effect OF the cool wave which
hit the eastern seaboard last Sun
day.

DIFFERENCES VOICED
ON NEW NAVAL BILL
senate Changes Are Protested Re-
garding Promotion of
Officers.

WASHINGTON. Aug. sharp
differences of opinion on senate
amendments to the naval bill provid-
ing for promotion of rear admirals
and captains by selection instead Of
seniority, as at present, were voiced
by high naval officers at a hearing
Tuesday before the house conferees
on the bill
The senate change was vigorously
opposed by Rear Admiral Badger,
retired, of the general board, and
Rear Admiral Strauss. chief of the
bureau of ordnance. 1t was support
ed by Rear Admiral Blue. chief of
the bureau Of navigation, in charge
of navy personnel.
The selection system would upset
me service by elevating men of lower
rank over others" said Admiral
Badger. He declared that it prac-
tically would reestablish the pluck
lng" system. Admiral Strauss said
the proposed selection plan would
tear the navy TO pieces"
Economy and efficiency both would
be served by adopting the selection
plan. Admiral Blue asserted. It
would insure that young and efficient
officers were put in important posi-
tons. he contended. and that incom-
petents would be retired early.
Examination of the naval officers
will be continued tomorrow.
