kid" Treasury Guide
Just Fell Into His Job

after talking with the Official asked
TO be shown through the building.
Walter was asked who could show
them through and he volunteered TO
do IL himself. He gave such good
description, that when they returned
to the officials office they said they
never had a more intelligent guide
in any place they had visited. That
settled things for Walter. No longer
was he given errands TO run, but was
set to work at the more important
task of telling people about the big
money building.
Walter is not going to be content
with being a guide all his life. Al
though not attending a regular day
school. he is going to night school
and taking a correspondence course.
He says he has not decided what he
will be when he grows up. but has
narrowed down to two things, and
in future years when you hear-and
you will hear-of DIR. Walter John
ston. or Walter Johnston. the great
electrical engineer, you will know
that he was the bright young chap

Is IL proper for a gentleman TO pre-

This promises totally to eclipse the

THE saving would run into hun

power to outlying districts. The plan
is so comprehensive in it's scope that
electricity could be landed at the door

utilization of patent water power.
This is an inexhaustible supply that

The newspapers are devoting much
space to the recent remarks of Sena-

yorkshire Post comments editorially:
We see no reason why the United
states, Great Britain. and japan
should force each other into intoler-
able naval expenditure The modus
ViVendi should be capable of an ar
rangement whereby at a compare
tiVely small expense both the Attain

safe against naval aggression. The
Anglo-Japanese agreement is design
ed exclusively against aggression.
and a limitation of naval eXpendi-
lures should be possible on the basis
or a triangular agreement against
aggression. Reason and expediency
point this way.
Can Daniels affirm-they point 10
, what seems to be his ideal-that the
rest of the world disarm with all
speed while America not only main
tains its Navy at full war strength
but rapidly increases il until such
time as 1t may appear that the dis
