u. S. Pacific Naval Bases Inadequate

Until the Hawaiian islands are made
an adequate base the American navy
will be unable 10 operate effectively
In the western Pacific. Lacking such
a base. il would be necessary 10 sup
ply the fighting feet almost entirely
from the Pacific coast bases, the dis
lance to which would be a severe
handicap on operations.
Even the Pacific coast bases are
inadequate TO the demands of the
whole navy If stationed in the Pacific,
even in time of peace. II would be
necessary TO send ships back to the
Atlantic coast for major repair work
The Navy department is urging con-
cress for appropriations TO begin the
construction Of Pacific coast and
Hawaiian island bases which IL will
require several years TO complete. The
senate is favorable, but the house OPP
posed TO such appropriations.
The Parks-McKean board. which
surveyed the needs of bases in the
Pacific, recommended the expenditure
of ST, 1874 900 in the Hawaiian islands,
81. o65,75 at BremertOn, Wash, S42,-
$4,000 at San Francisco, S27, 600
ut San Diego, S5,OO0,OO0 at San Pedro,
S5.0OO.0O0 at the Columbia river.
So $4,000 at Port Angeles, Wash, and
s.. 900 at Keyport, Wash, a total
of S157, 73S,320.

Mrs. HiCkSRelieved
ByFour Eatonics

II have taken four Eatonic tablets
and they relieved me of sour stomach.
l recommend it to everybody" says
Mrs. G. 2. Hicks.
If stomach is not digesting your
food; if you have sourness, bloating,
food repeating, indigestion or acid
stomach, Eatonic will remove the
cause by taking up and carrying out
the acidity and gases, bringing quick
relief and healthy digestion. Why suf-
fer stomach trouble? Why not keep
your digestion normal and enjoy good
health? An Eatonic taken after each
meal will prevent discomfort and pain.
Make the test today and see how
quickly this wonderful remedy acts.

CAMDEN DEMOCRATS ROW
Harmony Decidedly lneonspIeuous
st Harmony Meeting

~ harmony meeting Of the Camden
rsty and County Democrats last night
h fsmden was attended by fewer than
I0D Democrats and was punctuated by
hot weather, hotter speeches and the
absence Of harmony. When the meet
ins was called to order harmony went
out on the FIRE escape to get some fresh
Air and there il stayed.
The meeting, which was called by
Patrick II. Harding, was for the pur-
pose OF reorganizing the Democratic
Party In the city and county and for the
restoration Of harmony within the Dem :
ocratic ranks. Charges that the Cam :
den County Democratic Executive Com
mittee was inactive and was not func-
ticning properly, much TO the detriment
Of the party, few thick and fast. Some
Of the Democrats made themselves much
warmer by denying the charges. II
was at this stage that harmony, which
had been beaming upon the multitude
packed its grip and went out for q
walk. ~ '...''.. :
Later on In the evening after every
person there was wilted from trying tc
talk at once, Mr.. Harding announced
that at later date he would appoint q
committee Of FIVE members of the part,
to. get together with the Executive Com
mittee to see IL harmony program
could not be worked out.

FOOD DISTRIBUTION
PLAN HIT BY BUREAU
Municipal Research Says In
creased Market Facilities Will
Not Cut High Prices
SHOWS RERoUTlNG EVIL

Increased market facilities in the city
mean nothing 80 iong as the present
uneconomical methods Of food distribu-
tion and transfer persist, according to
the Bureau of Municipal Research.
As an example Of why consumers pay
high prices for perishsble goods they
point out that when produce In cars
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad In
this city IL TO be transferred to the
Pennsylvania Railroad IL must be
shipped back to Wilmington and then
e-routed to Philadslphia.
Market facilities In the city are In :
adequate and antiquated. Three or
more markets on the water front or In
any section Of the city or temporary
curb markets will not help solve the
problem so long a. the city continues to
have no adequate facilities for food dis
tribution," the bureau bulletin says.

Must Provide Against Waste

80 long as these conditions continue,
producers will be disinclined to ship to
the city many kinds of food supplies
that might otherwise come to us. The
very nature Of the products requires the
quickest possible handling to avoid de-
terioration and waste.
''The problem Is a big one and is of
vital interest to all citizens. 1t cannot
