knowledge acquired during short
summer cruises.
Mr.. Daniels devoted much of his
report to a review Of the work of
the navy during the war and in for
eign waters since the signing of the
armistice. He declared that the re-
markable performance of the navy
in transporting troops, particularly
in bringing the army back to the
United States, was the outstanding
wartime achievement of the navy.
Regarding the enlargement OF the
Pacific coast bases, Mr.. Daniels said
he could not ''too strongly urge that
Congress make beginning in the
develoment of shore bases, navy
yards and air stations on the, Pa
cific" Proper care of the vessels
of the Pacific fleet, he added, makes
such action vital.

NAVY
STRENGTHENED
BY WAR WORK

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. H.
IncomDarably stronger and more ef-
flciert than ever before, the Ameri-
can navy merged fom the world war
Second only TO that of Great Britain
and far in advance OF any other for
| eign navy in ships, in men, and
every element of strength" Secre-
tary Daniels declared in his annual
report to congress-.
With eighteen capital ships
twelve superdreadnaughtB and six
giant battle cruisers--under con-
struction, all representing the last
word in naval construction, and sew
eral superior TO any fighting vessels
now in commission, the navy is
pressing forward to greater
things" Mr.. Daniels said. w
Recommendation by the sect
tary for the betterment of the ser
vice included
Extension Of the course at the
Naval Academyat to five years so the
midshipmen may spend one @year
afloat as enlisted men.
Immediate enlargement of the
naval establishment on the Pacific
coast to take care Of the new Pacific
Fleet.
Temporary increases in pay Of Of
flcers and enlisted men and increas-
as in amounts allowed for commuta-
tion Of quarters and other allowances.

eaus Of Navigation and Steam En-
gipeering to Personnel and Engin-
eering, Bureau respectively.

tions as to an annual building pro-
gram, explaining that the recon-
mendations OF the Navy General
Poard were under consideration and
that estimates would be prepared
soon for presentation to Congress.
v The actual cost of the navy to the
nation during the war was placed by
the secretary at S2.9s2.000.o00.
During the next fiscal year, he said.

Commenting IN the construction
records during the war, the secre-l
tary said that during the twelve
months ended last October 1. 1s9
vessels Of all classes were completed
for the navy. These included los
destroyers, l battleship, 80 submar-
ines and SO Eagle boats. A world
record for destroyer construction
was made. the secretary said, in the
building of the Reid at Squantum,
Mass, in As working days. .a
Discussing the proposed radical
departure in the training Of officers
for the navy, Mr.. Daniels declared
that mo officer can command so
we'll as the man Of ability and know
ledge who knows every character OF
service from polishing brass to the
highest strategy and tactics" He
added that a years training as an
enlisted man would prove invaluable
to every officer and that heretofore

enlisted men except an incidental

IN THE LINE OF
 ADJUSTMENTS
Many Theatres Boost Their Prices But Do Not Offer Even
 as Good Programs as Before

Often we hear and read articles about profiteering on foods and rents. Seldom do We hear of amusement profttters. The amusement profitter should be thrown out of the busi- ness.
 Folks the country over have all ways looked to the movies as a de- ightful form of entertainment. To- day the theatre men knowing this have boosted their prices of adrnis- sion skyhigh-
 An increase of admission was all right for the man who gives the amusement seeker a show that is a real entertainment but the man who endeavors to buy his pictures at a very low sum and still boost his prices almost as high as the theatre where they hand out a good two and two hour and a half entertainment, should be thrown into the waste heap and his theatre turned into a garage or something useful.
 Labor is higher now, this is very true, but theatre employees don't get a million a week. Prices of pictures have advanced, that is also true in many cases but let the theatre men learn that folks who attend the thea tre demand their moneys worth. The biggest showmen in the country to- day know this and give the people vaudeville and pictures, a. real va riety show, for only a, few cents more than the average picture theatre charges. That is the answer why peo- pie flock to that sort of a, theatre.
 Barnum may have been right but theatre men shouldn't run away with the idea that the general public will swallow and rave about all the trashy films they foister onto the unsus- pecting, entertainment loving public.
 The public demand to be entertain ed and the theatre men sooner or later who do give their patrons their moneys worth will be the ones tc
