TACK THAYER was home on a fur
y Tough a week or so ago, and I hear
that he and Lois have decided to wait
until after the war to be married. They
are pretty young, you know, and Jack
is not established in any business as yet,
having only just left college, He is a lieu
tenant in the army and is stationed AT
Camp Meade, and I guess there is not
much danger of their wanting for the
wherewithal, but the decision seems a
very wise one. There's too much of this
hurriedmarriage business these days and,
as little Nancy remarked before, "therell
be a reckoning one of these days when
Hubby comes home from war, and in
some cases perhaps 1t won't be any too
funny a one either"
Waiting seldom does people any harm,
unless it's too long a wait. extending into
years, and hurry often is a disastrous
thing when it's q matter for life, you
know.

STATEMENT
AR0USES GOVERNMENT
Branding Wooden Ship Pro-
gram as Hopeless Causes
Much Discussion.
BY Associated Press,

Washington, May 26.-The speech
Of Major General George W. Goethals
in New Dbrk last night, characterizing
the shipping boards wooden ship
building program as hopeless. aroused
u great deal of discussion in govern
ment circles today in view of recent
rumors of differences between General
Cocktails ana the board.
Members of the board declined to
comment. In the house, Representa-
tive Harrison. discussing the shipping
amendment to the urgent deficiency
bill, said Chairman Denman of the
board had told him that both steel and
wooden ships would ba built. and
Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropriate
tons committee said he understood
$50 or 200 ships would be built to sup
ploment steel construction.
The appropriations committee to-
day revised the senate shipping
amendments to the urgent deficiency
thoriZing the president to direct the
general manager of the shipping
boards emergency fleet corporation to
exercise powers the bill vests in the
executive. General Goethals is the

committee left the powers directly in
the hands of the president.
a senate amendment, under which
the president in lieu of requisitioning
vessels building in American yards.
might spend funds for expediting
their construction, was eliminated.
The committee agreed to appropriate
$4O0,o0Q,OoO for an emergency shipping
fund, and authorize the president to
spend 50.O0O.0OO for building con-
tracts and $5,oOo,OOo for operation of
the ships.
While General Cocktails speech of
last night would indicate that he puts
| little faith in wooden ships, it is
| known that members of the shipping
| board still are of the opinion that
| wooden vessels, because of their cheap
and rapid construction, can be made to
| augment greatly the American mer-
! chant fleet Contracts for 26 wooden
ships of standardized construction
We're let recently by the emergency
fleet corporation and wooden vessels
will be purchased under the per cent
| policy as fast as constructed and Of
