Former Secretary Daniels
Now Asserts

Josephus Daniels. fe=lery sec
rotary of the navy. delivered an
interesting address at the meeting
of the Lions Club in Nashville last
Tuesday. The former secretary
paid fine compliment to Tonnes
scans and the valued service rend-
cred during the war.
In the capital of this great state
/ wish to say that the contribution
which Tennessee made to the pre-
paration Of the navy to do its part
in the war is largely due to the
great craftsmanship of Lemuel
Padgett, the chairman of the naval
affairs committee. There is no
man 10 Washington, there is no
admiral in the navy and there
never has been a secretary of the
navy in % years who knew so
much about the navy or whose
technical knowledge was SO exact
or who was SO sensible and far
sighted as was Mr.. Padgett. Mr..
Padgett, a product of your own
state, had the vision in 1915. to
have enacted a naval bill which
provided more shiDs and more
money than any bill ever passed
by the legislative body in the his
tory of the world.
Tennessee, indeed, has claim
in the leadership in this great war.
When the war was on it was my
duty to call upon a man for very
responsible task, that of providing
a safe convoy for the soldiers who
crossed the sea, When it became
my duty to select an admiral for

bean, it was necessary to send some

Concerning the situation of the
United States Mr., Daniels said:
To-day the United States of
America has no, friend on the face
of the earth, not one: Two years
ago at this time we we're the most
beloved people, Our nation was
revered and honored by nations

Surgeons in facial operations now
use thread to match the complexion
in sewing up wounds.
When I fell down and broke my
head
In last years slippery weather,
The Doctor used magenta thread
In sewing it together.
But when they took me to my home.
Though very neatly jointed
Appeared the fracture in my dome,
My wife was disappointed
She tossed my waving locks about
With murmurs Of affection
And said, Those stitches must come
out;
They don't match your complex
Ion"
And so they made another nick
Which bled with free effusion,
And with a thread Of smothered
brick
They sewed up the confusion.
But as the thread began to fade
It grew a little duller,
And in a week or two displayed
A wholly different color.
And when this burst upon her view
My wife, in CONSERVATION
Exclaimed, Dear me! They'll have
10 do
Another operationl"
They've sewed that wound beneath
my thatch
Eleven times, confound it!
And yet the thread still fails TO
match
The hair that grows around It.
Each week the doctor makes a
cut
The butter fingered blighter!-
Each week my wife exClaims Tut!
Tut
His shade is somewhat lighter!"
It's tough TO have 70 stay in bed
In maddening inaction.
I hope some day they'll match that
thread
To my wife's satisfaction.
