nsvY LEAGUE SATISFIED.
Ac,<gis Report of Naval Board on
Mare Island Explosion.

The Navy League has issued a state

report of the naval board on the Mar.
Island explosion and expressing regret
that in referring to labor influence in
the investigation it was not made clear
that the league did not refer to the
standard labor unions, but to the Ger
manized i. W. W"
The statement, issued with the ap-
prevail of Col. Robert NJ Thompson,

ganization is convinced there were no
'hampering instructions or restric-
tive direction as to the method of in

led to the bitter controversy between

Forgot Her Bread Ticket.

A well known actress recently wanted
to buy herself some sandwiches at a
railway station restaurant, but found
she had forgotten her bread ticket. A
polite gentleman, seeing her disappoint-
ment. offered his own bread ticket. but
the waitress presiding over the buffet
would not allow this. for it is against
the letter of the bread regulations to
sell, lend or give away your bread tick
ct. For a moment things were at a
deadlock and it seemed Is if the poor
actress would have to go hungry on her
long journey, when the man had an in
spiration.
Give me that plate full of sand
wiches." he said, handing over his bread
ticket. This the waitress would not re-
fuse, so he took the plate and promptly
handed it to the smiling actress.
Guests of the government, like SOL
'diers or prisoners, need not worry about
bread tickets, but this is not always
known. A story is going the rounds at
The Hague of a prisoner Just sentenced
to two weeks in Jail. After passing sem
tence. the judge inquired If there was
anything the prisoner wished
Yes, your honor" replied the prison.

bring my bread ticket to jail.
German papers report that thousands
of forged bread tickets have been cir
culated in Germany. 1t is quite likely
that false tickets will be found in Hol-
land as well; repeatedly one hears OF
forged bank notes. 1t ought to be cas-
Ter to initiate bread ticket than a
bank note; still there is one thing that
may make it difficult. the difference IN
coloring of each succeeding issue of

Already this element of sneak thier

ing a program Of work planned by

place detectives In every store oper-
ated by member of that organiza-
ton.
Within the past several weeks, or
since the Christmas rush began, the
merchants have been feeling the work
of the shoplifters and during the pas,
week one clothing store had three
shoplifters arrested after they had
been seen to take the goods from the
counters which were later found on
their person.
The local merchants are as closely
watching the expert check artist and
the purse snatcher. and the detect
ives placed in the several stores have
been ordered to keep a close watch on
all suspicious characters. In most
instances these are known to the po-
lice. as the most trouble from shop
