WASHINGTON, Feb 2S-The ex~
ample Of the German feet safely al
anchor in the Kiel canal harbor and
picking it's own time for combat, was
cited today by Senator Salisbury OF
Delaware as his reason for demand
ing that forty-nine miles OF defensive
canals be dug in this country. The
two waterways he proposes, one OF
fifteen miles from Chesapeake to
Delaware bay and one from Trenton,
n. J., across to Raridan bay, would
provide an inner harbor from the
Virginia capes to Naragansett bay.
These defensive projects, in the opIn-
ion of military experts, would be
equivalent to large army as de-
fensive factor They would enable
the American navy to concentrate in
safety and force foe to keep two
fleets, each OF strength equal to that
OF the United States fleet, at both the
Virginia capes and off New York
harbor, il it attempted a blockade.
Such a canal would serve, like a
giant moat, as vast line of defense
against land forces, which might at
tempt to invade the region in which
most of the munitions plants and
manufacturing concerns of the ma
ton are located. "The time of great
est danger will be just at the close
OF the European war" said Senator
Saul sDury today. THE nations viii
be at the height OF their military
power. What kind of navy and coast
defenses we have in 1925 is not one
tenth so important as what we have

Republicans Select

The Republican State Central com
mittee met in Reno Saturday evening
at the Go den hotel, held halfhour
session, i'll which they elected dele
cation of six to the Republican Ma
tional convention and named an al
ternate list of six more Everything
passed off pleasantly and though Re-
publican papers a week ago condemn
ed the action of the Democratic COM
mittee meeting first as such and then
resolving itself into a convention and
elccting delegates, the Republican
committee did the same thing, giving
as a reason that primaries were too
expensive. 1t was stated, however,
that most OF the members of the COM
mittee, when first they arrived Ill
Reno, were for holding primaries.
but Developments, of whatever nature
they were, changed their minds.
The following delegation, unin

Wants Inland Water Pocket Like
Kiel Canal for American Fleet

less than we pay for a battleship.
Yet it would double the effectiveness
of our Atlantic fleet. Besides being

YOUTHS INSULT
 IS PUNISHABLE

Poor Girl writes: T am a girl of no pretense Have fair education. Kin and I are honest as the day is long. Recently I received a snubbing from neighbor boy. They are con- sldered rich. He has a better educa- ton. Is all in social life. No cause can be given for his treatment of me! I carry myself straight. First time he had ever addressed me, it was. Resenting, I hit him hard as could. How am I to treat him if again he is thus guilty? Was this to see if I was easy, or that I am poor and refined My feelings are hurt, yet I will not own it."
 Your course of action is approved of. He had no business to hurt your feelings. Most people you will meet, will respect and honor you, as will the Right One. He will not attempt to snub you. If so, his folks must be told He should suffer punishment.

MEETING AWAY FROM HOME

-sShe listens with fitting blush,
 With downcast eyes and modest
 grace;
 And she forgave him that he gazed
 Too fondly on her face"
 Dan Cupid whispered a secret to me the other day. He said: T love to help those who help themselves. Hear me through" he went on as I lifted both hands, in amazed protest. Try to wedge into your talks a little bit about the stay at homes and the go abouts. Say that people meet where hills and mountains don't, and that it makes my task of mating couples con- siderably easier if men and women who are mateable, and looking around go where they can see, and be seen"
 I imbue the spirit of those remarks. and follow the bent of Dan Cupid s suggestion. Girls who sigh that they are lonely. and few if any friends of either sex care enough about them to call, might change all that. if they were to awaken to the possibilities about them, and determine to make this happier summer than has gone before. If father or brother is mak-
 
 another place to which he has been accustomed to go alone for years, the lonely girl of the family should plead to accompany him. It is not all dry speech making, as she may have sup posed. There's a happy. merry party from here and there who meet, find companionship in each others society, clingfng together, becoming well ac- qualnted while the convention lasts. The lonely girl finds other girls in the party who are quite charmed with her, insisting the friendship thus formed must last for all time. They promise to exchange visits. each girl tells the other that her brother (who is single) will be only too pleased to beau her about" a promise which eoch brother readily consents to. Thus destiny's thread is placed in the loom, to be woven at Dan Cupid's leisure.
 There's the summer picnic, too. What good natured matron would not be glad to chaperone a sweet, modest young girl whom she knew, if but slightly, for a days pleasure? She makes the acquaintance there of other pleasant girls who introduces her to their friends, maidens and youths. She has jolly time, instead f being bored as she was sure she was going to be. Then what fun, to be one of a part of young folks who go for a trolley ride to the far off end of the route on a stif1ing hot summer even- ing. Of course there are enough in the party to completely fill the car to the exclusion of strangers and the young folks good naturedly change seats and escorts at almost every stop, that there may be mo so-caled wall flowers, and each girl and youth is su e to have a corking, merry eve- ming No one can help the girl who persists in shutting herself up within the four walls of home while all na- ture is calling her to come forth and enjoy the sunshine and the deli yhts of dear old summer time. It is not the nature of youth to cling to seclu- sion. Summer will not last for long, 90 make the most of it while it is here.
 Even the extra timid girl should show a little kindness to herself, and struggle away from loneliness into tre midst of pleasant companionship, sunshine and laughter. MT. Right does not always walk up to your hasne lcE.
