what the situation is, and you know
that the Kings Daughters, who will
have charge Of the buying and dis
tributing of the dolls and toys will
exert every possible effort to see
that not one child is forgotten on the
day that the world takes on some of
the spirit of the Man Of Gallilee.
They can only do this insofar as the
good people Of Morgan City provide
them with the funds necessary for
this purpose. Besides devoting their
times to the work, the Kings Daugh-
ters are the largest contributors to
the fund, having started it with
thirty dollars which is more than
one-third Of the total at this time.
Those good women are going to do
the work, and it is going to be a
labor of love. They are going into
the highways and byways of the
city, they will go to places where
even though many people have spent
their life in Morgan City, they have
never been. They either know, or
will find out where every child lives
whose Christmas will be without
meaning, unless Santa Claus finds
some assistant to help.
If the good ladies would call and
ask for your help in this work, they
would get it. They are not going to
call, but the fund needs your help,
so send it in without being urged.

no city within her borders where the

Until all nations agree to reduce
their armament. the United States must
continue to increase it's naval power,
Secretary Daniels declares in his an
nual report, and which urges that
funds be appropriated at once to begin
building forty-two additional ships.
II feel it my duty to warn as SOL

after reciting the high expenditures
for the navy authorized at the last ses-
sion of Congress. against the danger
that lies in a possible feeling on the
part of our people that the navy has
now been attended to. has been placed
where it belongs. among the great ma
vies of the world. and there is nothing
further to be done. Complacent retro
spection is the father of dry rot. We

WARNS OF FAKE" VENDORS.
Retail Merchants Association Calls
Attention to Alleged "Itinerants."

Warning against fake" itinerant
vendors of merchandise, particularly
those who set up temporary establish
ments, was given by the Retail Mer-
chants Association in statement
issued today. 1t is asserted that many
cities have laws which make periodical
fake" merchandise establishments I'M
possible.
The statement sets forth, in part:
we are keeping a close tab on such
matters, and in the absence of spe-
cific law covering such sales expect to
invoke not only the false advertising
law, but in some instances the fake
auction law.
However. an ounce of prevention Is
ever worth a pound of cure. and the
public interest will be best safeguard
ed by dealing only with merchants who
are established in business here. Our
advertising vigilance committee, made
up OF six of our members and repre-
sentatives of half a hundred citizens
associations, will see to it that the
public interest is safesuarded as far
as possible

builders and manufacturers have shown
an attitude OF willingness to assist
the department in meeting the unusual
situation created by the desire Of the
country to commence and to expedite

gram at a time when the industrial
resources of the country are already

Board Still Favors Battleships.
In its brief review of the European
war the general board finds nothing
to warrant modification of its previous
belief that the battleship is the back
bone of the sea power of a nation"
For this reason. the report adds. the
board has determined that the number,
power and size of the guns to be
placed aboard new battleships should

must be built to contain all these char

for the 1918 ships the board has recon-

Secretary Daniels says the bureau of
ordnance has been working under
most serious handicap, due to the lack
of an efficient proving ground to meet
modern naval artillery requirements.
The existing proving ground at Indian
Head was established some twenty
five years ago. when the gun ranges
that have been attained today We're
undreamed of. The geography of the
place will not permit of its extension to
meet existing conditions. and the Sec
