DANIELS PLEADS Z
FOR BIGGER FUND
FOR AIR BRANCH
Protests Reduction Of Appro-
priationt S1, ,000,000
tpy International New. s.ry,es.,

CBy international News ssrvies.)
WASHINGTON. June l8.-The
American navy must keep its place ia
the air. Secretary OF the Navy
Daniels and naval officers today were
ready to appear before the senate
naval affairs committee and make
this plea. and offer protest against the
action OF the house in reducing the
appropriation for naval aviation from
sb,0O00U TO SlsO0000
Senator Page OF Vermont, chairman
Of the committee, called his committee
INTO session and stated that he was In
favor OF restoring the appropriation
for naval aviation to at least Sbm,-
COO.
Citing the accomplishments OF the
United States navy and the British
aviator Alcock in making uans-At-
lar,c flights, Secretary Daniels and
his associates are prepared to show
the committee that the future OF the
American navy will be seriously en-
dangered unless there is sufficient
money provided TO allow il TO keep up
with the rapid trend OF development
in aviation.
Il believe that aviation at this time
is 4 matter OF national interest and
Importance said Captain Thomas I.
Craven, in charge OF naval aviation.
"Curtailment OF the appropriation for
the furtheranee OF naval aviation |
would regard as a seriously calam-
iy"
Captain Craven today outlined the
following program of development in
naval aviation, il the appropriation
desired is granted: Construction Of
large multi motored seaplanes, such. ~
were used in the transatlantic flight;
construction of light planes which
may be carried on board ship and
launched from a vessel; development
OF scatter reconnaissance planes. OF
torpedo planes and of bombing planes.
Secretary Daniels has MAJ plans
for a naval aviation force with . COM
plement OF soJ officers and 1850 men
and 4 marine corps aviation force OF
100 officers and 1000 men, the con-
mittee was informed.
Practical usei Of the navy's aviation
forces may be made in peace time.
Captain Craven declared. Already the
navy department is making plans for
operating with fishing fleets for
I the location Of schools OF fish by sea-
planes. Naval planes would also be
used in making 4 coast and seodetic
survey and in panoling the eoaS
and there is constant need for aerial
communication in the navy, it was
stated.

that's pretty full word-isn't 1t?
We had come in sight of the house
Jagged behind little when l saw
the great man sitting on the small
piazza with Mrs. Wright. I see WV
idly, as ] write, the full figure, the
ruddy, kindly face, the large nose, the
gray eyes, the thick halo of silvered
hair extending from his collar to the
bald top of his head. He rose and
said in deep voice:
"He sows i'll luck who hinders the
reaper"
Mr.. Wright hung his sickle on a
small tree in the dooryard and an
swered:
'The plowman has overtaken the
reaper, Mr.. President. bid you well
come to my humble home"
ut is a pleasure to be here and a
regret to call you back to Washing
ton," said the president as they shook
hands.
II suppose that means an extra ses-
sion," the senator answered.
"First let me reassu.e you. shall

know that president is a heavy bur-
den for one to have on his hands,"
"Don't worry. can get along with
almost any kind Of human being, es-
pecially If he like pudding and milk as
well as you do" said the senator, who
then introduced me in these words:
mr.. President, this Is my young
friend, Barton Baynes, Of the neigh
borhOod Of Lickitysplit in the town
of Ballybeen-a coming man Of this
county"
"Come on" was the playful remark
of the president as he took my hand.
II shall be looking for you"
I had carefully chosen my words
and remember saying, with some dig
nifty. like one in story book, although
with trembling voice:
ut is an honor to meet you, sir. and

thank you for the right to vote-when
I am old enough"
Vividly, too, I remember his gentle
smile as he looked down at me and
said in a most kindly tone:
II think it a great honor to hear
you say that"
He put his hands upon my shoulders
and turning to the senator said:
wright, l often wish that I had
your modesty."
Il need it much more than you do, -
the senator laughed.
Straightway I left them with an
awkward bow and blushing to the
roots of my hair.
As I neared the home Of Mr.. Hacket
I heard hurrying footsteps behind me
and the voice Of Sally calling my name.
I stopped and faced about.
How charming she looked as she
walked toward me! had never seen
her quite so fixed up.
Bart" she said. II suppose you're
not going to speak to me-"
IF you'll speak to me-" answered.
II love to speak to you" she said.

Mother wants you to come over to

at once that the Dunkelbergs were In
need Of information about me and that
the time had come to impart it. So
then and there that ancient Olympus
Of our family received notice as it
were.
II can't" I said. I've got to study
my lessons before 60 away with your
father"
1t was q blow to her. I saw the
shadow that fell upon her face. She
was vexed and turned and ran away
from me without another word and I
felt q pang Of regret as went to the
lonely and deserted home of the
schoolmaster.
At twelve-thirty Mr.. Dunkelberg
came for me, with housekeeping
horse in a new harness and a shiny,
still-running buggy. He wore gloves
and a beaver hat and sat very erect
and had little to say.
II hear you met the president" he
remarked.

Yer Money-Damn You'll"
his WITH ALL YER MONEY
On YOU"
1t was like the shout Of Israel from
the top of the mountains. Shep
bounced into the house with hair on
end and the chickens cackled and the
old rooster clapped his wings and
crowed with all the power Of his lungs.
Every member of that little group
stood stock still and breathless.
I trembled with q fear could not
have defined. Mr.. Grimshaw shuffled
out Of the door, his cane rapping the
floor as If his arm had been stricken
with palsy in a moment.
Mr.. Dunkelberg turned to my aunt,
his face scarlet and muttered an apol-
ogy for the disturbance and followed
the money lender.
"Come on, Bart" Uncle Peabody
called cheerfully, as he walked toward
the barnyard. Lets 90 an git in
them but'nuts."
He paid no attention to our wis.,
tors-neither did my aunt, who fol-
lowed us. The two men talked to-
gether a moment, unhitched their
horses. got into their buggies and
drove away.
"Wal, I'm surprised at Mr.. Horace
Dunkelberg tryin' to come it over US
like that-ayes! be-" said Aunt Deel.
'Wal, I amt" said Uncle Peabody.
"Or Grimshaw has got him under his
thumb-that's what's the matter.
You'll find he's up to his ears in debt
to Grimshaw-prob'ly."
As we followed him toward the
house, he pushing the wheelbarrow
loaded with sacks of nuts, he added:
AT last Grimshaw has found some
thin that he can't buy an he's awful
surprised. Too bad he didn't learn
that lesson long ago"
He stopped his wheelbarrow by the
