REP. JAMES MANN SAYS
6. O. p. CONTROLS HOUSE

ASSOCIATED Press by Federal wireless)
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 2.-That
the control Of the lower house will be
safely in the hands of the Republicans,
who will organize 1t on the opening
day of the new congress, is the belief
of Representative James Mann of iii
nois, who states that he has canvassed
the situation and is able to state that
the party will muster 21S votes on the
first roll call. This will leave the
democrats IN a minority of one, even
should the Progressiyes, independents
and Prohibitionists vote with the DEM
ocrats, an improbable supposition. The
probabilities are that the Republicans
will secure a majority of the independ-
ent vote and will organize the house
by majority Of & to s. Sin the present
house the Democrats have total of
227 straight party votes, clear ma
jority in the house of 49,
Representative Mann, who is the Re
publican minority floor leader, an
nounced yesterday that he is not a
candidate for the speakership.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. g.
Capt Jonas Mexican, u. 5 ~, yester.
day urged the house naval committee
to recommend the purchase OF site
near jamestown, Va, for use OF the
navy as an aviation base. jamestown
is located upon the James river, not
far from Newport News, and is said
to be splendid site for such purpose
as suggested by Capt. Mexican.
Capt. Plnnkett, who also appeared
before the committee, advocated the
use Of the largest possible guns in the
American navy. He pointed out that
the sea battles of the present war have
been won by gun fire of the heavier
artillery engaged, and declared that
Abe navy of the United States should
be provided with the very largest pos
sfble to construct.
Capt Plunkett said that the depart
ment is planningto equip the new bat
tlecruisers with 16-inch rifled guns OF
the highest power, instead of 14-inch
guns. and expressed his conviction
that when the lessons of the European
war are fully learned It will be found
that the nations are using Is and even
20-inch guns.

GOOD BOOK WEEK

When you buy your boy book
Get him what rings true,
Don't think that, any silly trash
Is good enough for you.
Fairy tales are different,
They represent great truths;
Imagination feeds on them
They help to train our youths.
But some there are who see no folly
In most senseless plots;
They buy their boys whole series,
Buy them in job lots.
The boy lives In his hero,
He reads preposterous things,
Exalts himself in consequence
A false note through him rings.
He then feels most important,
Sometimes he runs away,
He loses taste for good books,
Mental effort doesn't pay.
You'll not regret the. right kind;
The BOY prefers what's true;
He gets his thrills in these books,
And he gets upliftment, too.
So when you buy your boy book
Get him what rings true;
Don't think that any silly trash
Is good enough for you.
