Gen. Barnett Asks for
Enlarged Marine Corps

MAJoR GENERAL BARNETT,
4VA commandant, has recommended
a permanent enlisted force of 27,467
men for the marine corps, about
double it's numerical strength before
the war.
In view of the corps record before
and during the world war, it deserves
every consideration at the hands Of
Congress. No other branch of the ma
tion's military forces has proved it
self more efficient and none is ranked
higher in public esteem.
Without disparaging our regular
army, which was in pre-war days
excellent as far as it went. the ma
xines symbolized American pluck and
efficiency. They were heard of here
and there, in many parts Of the world,
always alert, invariably doing what

they we're sent to do and performing
difficult tasks we'll. They were noted
for their clean, outstanding fearless
ness.
Everyone knows how the marines
acquitted themselves in France. That
lis part of history. Yet for years
they have been Carrying on" in the
four quarters of the globe. They have
maintained order in Uncle Sans ter
ritorial possessions. Wherever the
American flag was menaced, there
the stout-hearted marines were TO be
found They have never yet been
weighed and found wanting. They
have never yet failed to meet the
test of courage; endurance and
Initiative.
For these reasons, and others that
might be mentioned, Congress cannot
do too much for the marines. Public
sentiment will uphold General Barnett
in asking that the force be increased.
With an enlarged army, it would be
folly not to give the marine corps
proportionate strength, since it is
co-ordinated both with the army and
the navy

Revolutionary Ideas
In Publishing Business

f the white paper shortage forces
q newspaper publishers to reduce
the size of their papers, as
well as the s0@~2 devoted to
advertiser nts, a situat IN will be
brought about that has never
before becn considered. either by
newspaper readers or The publishers
themselves. In fact, such depart
ture would be contrary to all previ-
ously held theories as to what CON
stituted success and prosperity in the
publishing business,
The Sunday newspaper, huge and
unwicldy, has reflected the desire of
publishers to outstrip their competi-
tors in the size of the papers printed
and the extent of advertising pat
ronage Too often reading matter
has been q secondary consideration,
but in all the better class newspapers
great deal of space has been de-
voted to news and millions of dollars
have been spent to gather this news
: from all four quarters of the world.
Any edition of newspaper that
contains from fifty to one hundred
pages or more can hardly be read and
digested fully in one day. Few peo-
pie make the attempt. One secret
of the popularity of the large Sun
day newspaper is that it contains
such variety of matter there is
bound to be something that appeals
to every one of its numerous sub
scribers. .3
Yet, newspaper men, and the pub
lie as well, are tempted to pinch
themselves when they hear the sug
gestions offered that advertiser:
must be limited in space allotted tt
them, the size of the paper must b.
reduced and even circulation must b.
cut down. Apparently this strikes {;
blow at the fundamental principles
of the publishing business, yet some
of the largest newspapers in thu
country are making appeals to rhei
advertisers to cooperate in helping
to solve the problem presented by ;
white paper shortage in which tn
demand so far exceeds the supply
hundred per cent, that orders canno
be filled.

large, but Birmingham is growing
rapidly and there is the best of ma
terial here for a fresh enrolment of
Give wire men.
The Civic association has splen-
die record of accomplishment. 1t has
originated many important measures
and has carried many of them
through.
It's campaigns for the betterment
iof Birmingham have been aggressive,
if there has been much talking, there
has been far more action.
Those who are familiar with the
Civic associations work look back and
wonder how the city got along with
out it.
The drive will last two days and
in that space of time the membership
should be doubled. 1t will be SO, if
every member bestirs himself. With
greatly enlarged roster, the gooo
that will be done in the Forthcoming
wear will be of inestimable value.

LUKE M,LUIxE SAYS

Every wife is always telling every
husband that all other husbands take
their wives with them everywhere they
so.
After a man has knocked the League
Of Nations all morning and Knocked
the bolsheviki all afternoon and
knocked prohibition all night. he will
go home and inform his wife that II
women did not talk to blame much they
could get more work done.
Maybe if a girl had to paint freckles
on her face or go without them every
girl would have freckles.
1t may seem paradoxical. But the
more woman indignates about her
wrongs the more she will insist that
she is indignating about her rights.
One half the world wonders how the
other half of the world ever raised
the price of an automobile
And there would not be SO many
divorces if man remembered to kiss
his wife when he gets home the way
he remembers to cuss her when he gets
home.
When we hear a man talking bossy
to his wife in public we know that he
is going to do lot of renegging when
she gets him home
The difference between dogs and mer

Count Carl Seilern, confidential

as saying the genesis of the ill-feel-

Hungary can be traced to Serbian
pig pens Fifteen years before the
war, according to this authority,
great numbers of pigs were shipped
from Serbia into Hungary, where
they competed with the porkers
grown on Hungarian farms. Natur-
ally, the Hungarians protested, but
no embargoes were declared. After
while, the Austro- Hungarian gov

ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
company does not deserve it. This
company deals with so many people
and it is most difficult to please them
all The employees are given every
consideration and are treated in
splendid manner. This fact is largely
due to the efficient manager, George
r. Knox. who is not only very kind to
his employees but to others as well.
This fact was demonstrated few
weeks ago when a one-arm soldier OF
the famous 167th infantry spent sew

ment In some manner he drifted to
my office and 1 Immediately sent him
to see Mr.. Knox, who gave him job
and started him to work the next day
at good living salary. I have known
Mr.. Knox to do the same thing in
many other cases which stamps him

but one who is always willing to aid
