ARE DESERVING NAVY
Situation Is Worst in History OF Serv-
ice, Navigation Chief Tells
Investigators.

Washington. of de-
sertions in the navy in the last year
have brought conditions unparalleled
in American naval history, Rear Ad-
miral Thomas Washington, Chief OF
the Bureau of Navigation, told the
Senate Investigating Committee. The
entire naval service, he warned, is
threatened with disaster unless Con-
gress Immediately enacts legislation
increasing the pay of officers and men
TO point that will allow the navy to
compete with civil occupations. There
were 1866 assertions in the last six
months of 1919, Rear Admiral Wash
ington declared, and thus far this year
they have averaged 700 month, many
of the assertions being petty officers OF
years experience. Also at present
rate of pay, he said, recruits can not
be obtained The officer situation also
is bad" the Admiral said. Thousands
of officers have resigned since the
Armistice, and the designations OF l.
450 have been accepted. .-...
designations of 124 regular officers
and hundreds of temporary officers are
pending. The navy medical corps is
in the worst condition in it's history,
the Admiral declared, 200 medical of
ficers have resigned since the war.
Two years before the United States
joined the allies in the World War
the Navy General Board prepared a
comprehensive plan for war against
a Central Power" of Europe, Rear
Admiral f. F. Fletcher told the com
mittee. He was replying to Rear Ad-
miral William s. Sims charge that
when the United States entered the
war the Navy Department had not
well-considered plans or policies for
fighting Germany. Many such plans
had been made in the past, Admiral
Fletcher said, but the plan referred
to covered every phase of naval op-
erations under the assumed conditions
of war" 1t dealt with the mobiliza-
ton, organization and composition OF
the feet, It's disposition and employ
ment, protection of the coasts, bases
of supplies on the United States coast
and in the West Indies, routes across
the Atlantic and the enemy'S forces
and probable courses of action, he said,
and comprised almost 300 typewriter
pages.

After Shoe Profiteers.

Observation-Disclosures of high
shoe prices was begun by the Senate
Commerce Committee, with Judson G.
Welliver, a Washington correspondent,
as the first witness. Basing his testi-
mony on information received from
the Federal Trade Commission and
other sources, the witness declared
that exorbitant profits were being
made in the shoe trade, especially by
retailers. Some form of Government
control Of prices was suggested.

Imports Are Increasing.

New York.-The dependence of the
United States upon the tropics for
foodstuffs and manufacturing mate
rails increases year by year. The to-
tai value of our imports of tropical and
subtropieal products, says statement
by the National City Bank of New
York, which amounted to only $780,
100000 in 1900 and $775, 100000 in 1914,
was over $2,OOOOOO.OOO in 1919, and
seems likely to approximate $2,400,-
OOO.O in the current fiscal year..
Tropical and subtropical products now
form approximately one-half of our
total imports.

Explosion Wrecks Town.

Copenhagen.-A great explosion has
occurred at an army supply factory,
north of Rotenstein, near Koenlgsburg,
East Prussia, and it is feared there has
been heavy loss of life among the zoo
employees, says Berlin dispatch to
the Berlingske Tidende. The entire
residential villa quarter Of the town
was wrecked, and thousands of win
dows in Koenigsberg were broken by
the conclusion.

acknowledgements from Paris are
more optimistic regarding hopes for
an amicable settlement Of the Anglo
French difficulty over the occupation
by French troops of German towns.
However, according to statement
from an authoritative source the crisis
still bears grave aspects-hrst, be-
cause there seems to be no intention
on the part of the British to recede
from their firm demeanor against indie
pendent action where the alliance is
concerned, and second, because no
sign is apparent that France is willing
to withdraw her troops, but rather
there is disposition to extend her oc-
cupation.
Great Britain's reply to France, 1t is
asserted, reatfirms the determination
to enforce the Versailles treaty in all
respects, but in collaboration with the
other allies. 1t points out, however,
that the present difficulty is concerned,
not with execution of the treaty, but
with Germany's request for permission
to employ troops in the neutral zone.
The Governments view, shared by
the allies, was that the request should
be granted, subject to guarantees for
the restoration Of neutrality after the
expiration of a time limit and these
guarantees the British Government
were prepared to enforce.
The French Governments view, on
the other hand, was that allied troops
should occupy German towns as a
condition of German troops entering
the neutral zone.
The allies, it is declared, were OPP
posed to this policy. The French note
seeks to justify their independent &C
ton while stating that France does
not contemplate any future action
without previous approval by the
allies.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: have very
oily skin. Will you please tell me
what 1 can do for this? BLONDE
For oily skin Danish all rich and
greasy foods, because diet has great
influence on the condition of the
skin.
Wiping off the face occasionally
with diluted alcohol (25 per cent
strength is beneficial in the case of
an oily skin.
A few drops of ammonia or a pinch
OF borax in the water with which the
face is washed is also helpful.
Dear Mrs. thompson: | am trou<led

beautiful, thick hair and this worries
me a great deal. l am not a pretty
girl, but every one remarks about my
beautiful brown hair. What can I
do?
BRUNETTE.
Crude petroleum is often used to
prevent falling hair. 1t does not leave
the hair too greasy, but helps the
scalp. Use as little as possible at
each application, rubbing into the
scalp with gentle massage every night.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Can one live
a Christian life if either the man or
wife has been married before and
after a divorce has married again?
A READER.
The Catholics and a few other
creeds do not accept divorce. Legally,
however, divorce makes it all right for
the husband or wife to marry again.

What's in a Name
ROSAMOND
(Copyright)

Rosamond has nothing to do with a
rose, strange as it may seem. The
name means famed protection" and
is Of extremely ancient origin. The
first Rosamond was the fierce chief
tainess of the Gepidae, whom her
Lombard husband forced to drink to
his health in grisly goblet composed
OF the skull of her slaughtered father,
and who later avenged the insult by a
midnight murder.
Out of this tragedy, the name of
Rosamond gained great popularity
among the peasantry and in some
mysterious way penetrated the land
OF the Norman Cliffords, by whom it
was bestowed upon Fair Rosamond of
ballad lore. This lovely lady's history
has been much changed by Cervantes,
who makes his Persiles and Sigis-
munda encounter her in the Arctic
regions, fulfilling dreary penace
among the wehr wolves
Her name, in its supposed interpre-
tatlon, gave rise to the Latin epigram,
Rosa mundi, sed non Rosa munda''
(the rose of the world, but not a pure
rose), according to one historian. The
ballad however, as well as the general
aura of romance which surrounds the
name of Rosamond, established her
popularity in England and all English
speaking countries
The ruby is Rosamond's talismanic
gem. It's promise of power, bodily
strength, and naughty pride will be
fulfilled in her. Saturday is her
lucky day and 4 her lucky number.
