COMMANDER OF 5ATTLESHlP
NEVADA APPEARS BEFORE
HOUSE COMMITTEE.
WILSON GETTING IMPATIENT
President Asks That Naval Approprla'
ton Bill Be Whipped Into Shape
Without Further Delay-May
Build Many Oestroyers.

Washington.-Imm construc-
tion of eight or nine battle cruisers
to provide an element of strength now
sadly lacking in the American fleet
was urged before the House naval
committee by Capt. Sims, command
ing the battleship Nevada.
The captain also advised the build
ing of many additional destroyers. He
said that while much had been ac-
complished toward making armed
ships less vulnerable to torpedoes,
there had been no solution of the prob
lem of protecting a fleet against tor
pedo attack in open sea. Therefore,
he said, the navy should have plenty
of fast craft to chase off destroyer
and submarine enemies,
Much information was given the
committee by the witness concerning
the navies of the world and their ope-
rations. He said it was improbable
that any great expedition against the
United States ever would start from
the other side of the Atlantic, but
that some point in the West Indies
probably would be used as a base.
He strongly indorsed the Navy De-
partments proposal to promote Off
GERS by selection instead Of by se-
niority.
Before the committee began its
hearings Chairman Padgett conferred
with President Wilson, who urged
him to speed up work on the naval ap-
preparation bill. The chairman said
he expected the hearings to be con
cluded within two weeks.
Thomas A. Edison and other experts
will appear to tell the committee OF
the necessity of erecting a great ex-
perimental laboratory here in which
to work out naval problems.

Taking Tonlcs, and Built up on
Right Food.

The mistake is frequently made Of
trying to build up worn-out nervous
system on so-called tonics.
New material from which to rebuild
used up tissue cells is what should be
supplied, and this can be obtained
only from proper food.

The three new Commissioner of

The three new commissioners OF
Road District No / os Crittenden
county, for a preliminary conference
to a formal session to be called. Their
attorney, T. X. Riddick, who is also
a large land owner around Hubert,
was present.
Road District No. is the first to
organize under the Alexander law.
There are TO be three other districts
in Crittenden. No. / lies directly op.
posite Memphis and will lead with 20
miles OF surfaced roads from the Hara-
han bridge to Waverly, Hubert. Rice
vile and other points. and will con-
meet directly with the other three dis
tricts and the roads Of Lee, St Fran
els, Cross, Poinsett and Mississippi
counties. About $4,000 per mile will
be spent.
The commissioners had copy of
the Arkansas Supreme Courts deci-
sion, where in a case from Craighead
county the validity Of the Alexander
law was not questioned, the court
merely affirming that the organization
of a district must be complete, and
the work done under approval of the
state highway engineer. There is an
ether case testing the constitutional
ity of the Alexander law pending, but
lawyers think the recent decision In
dicates the court will uphold the law.
The commissioners decided to con-
form to every requirement and will
reorganize il so advised by their at
torney. They will get in touch with
the state highway engineer, determine
upon the preliminaries of advertising
for bids and get busy at once to have
the bond sale and all details ready.
Many other road districts in various
Arkansas counties already have organ
lied and are advertising for bids. In
dications are that road building IN
Arkansas this year in the fast devel-
oping counties will go far into millions
of dollars, as the land owners are ag-
gressive for levying the small tax upon
themselves to build them.
