Il is not based entirely upon financi.
al and economic gain No one can
dispute that good roads are f.nan-

Why Tolerate Catarlil?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
tiow'of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg-
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos
trils frequently with a solution of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re-
tiring, and take spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals for one month.
SCOTS acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
glycerine to check the inflammation
and heal the sensitive membranes.

Five-Year Program
Declares 1t Foolish Move to Con-
tract for Ships at Present
High Prices-Farr Applauded
for His Demands for Ships,
Submarines and Air Craft

Washington, May 2s.-Majority Leader
Kitchin made his promised speech in be.
half of the naval appropriation bill in
the House today. explaining that. while
he believed the measure provided fol-
greater preparedness on sea than the
country really needed, he was supporting
it because it eliminated the Navy de.
partment's five-year building program
He devoted himself most vigorously to
attacking the so-called big navy men,
asserting that the present clamor for pre-
paredness YVES due in the main to hysteria
and jingoism.
In opposing the five-year program, Mr.
Kitchin said it would be foolish to con-
tract for ships at present high prices
when it was probable that the cost OF
materials would be much lower after the
war.
Closes General Debate
General debate closed with Mr.. Kit
ehin's speech and the House began
consideration of the bill under the rule
permitting five minute speeches on
amendments. This probably will be con.
tinued until o'clock Friday afternoon
the hour set for the final vote
The House remained in session until
late in the evening, and the leaders
agreed to meet tomorrow at the usual
hour instead Of recessing over Memo
rial day..
Representatives Far of Penn, Brit
ten of Ills, and Roberts Of Mass,
spoke during the day for the minority
report with it's larger building pro-
gram, including two dreadnoughts and
six battle cruisers, instead of the five
battle cruisers provided for in the bill.
Mr.. Farr drew applause from the
galleries by declaring in favor of
building 25 capital fighting ships, $50
submarines and many air craft.
Representa- tive Britten denounced
the bill as "unscientific, unbalanced and
a patchwork Of log rolling between
pacifists and conservatives"
A score of amendments offered at
the close of general debate were
promptly voted down.

he had no knowledge Of the note and
merely had come to Washington on a

that it probably would renew the sug-
gestion that American troops be with
