Inspired by the conviction that the
United States should have a navy as
strong as that of any other nation,
the senate naval affairs committee re
ported against the Borah resolution
for six months naval construction
holiday. The report, presented by
Senator Poindexter, said the commit
tee was as anxious as possible to
bring about a reduction of ornaments,
but that no disarmament would be of
value unless 1t were general and, in
the case of the great maritime powers,
universal. "Unhappily this is not the
case at the present time" continued
the report, and we must deal with
conditions as they exist. For one
nation to leave itself exposed to Mt
tack while another is preparing all
the engines of war would be not only
folly, but the greatest danger to the
peace of the world that could be mag

makes his preparations accordingly.
| Then when the visitors arrive at his
abode he pretends to be immensely
ast0niShed, and says he never dreamed
of such a visitation; but the fact that
he is wearing his Sunday shirt and
has his hair parted in the middle,
gives the lie to all his protestations
There is no serious objection to a
surprise party when the victim is
warned in advance, although, as | have
shown, it encourages skullduggeTy and
hypocrisy, for no man can be thor
oughly honest who pretends amaze
ment over a visit he has been plan
ming for.
But the genuine surprise party is
an outrage, and people who resort to
ii should be severely punished. There's
nothing more humiliating to a self
respecting man than to have a whole
neighbOrhOOd blow into his dwelling
when he isn't looking for it.

My wife has theories, similar to mine.
and doesn't believe In being arrayed
in purple and fine linen all the time.
But she wouldn't be seen looking
slouchy for anything.
Some months ago my wife casually
remarked to a neighbor that my birth
day would occur on the following
Wednesday, and that neghbor. being
a confirmed husybody, got busy and
organized a surprise party. l never
received the faintest hint of the
scheduled catastrophe, and on the
evening of my birthday / was lying on
the floor of the sitting room, with
about a hundred newspapers around
me. My wife was wearing an old
wrapper, and was popping corn on the
kitchen stove. There was nobody else
in the house, and we had no idea visi-
tors would come. for it was a bad
night.
About eight o'clock, just when |
was thinking of going to bed, there
was knock at the front door. Ny
wife thought it was some boy on an
errand so she went to the door with a
stovehook in one hand. and the corn
pepper in the other, and she gave a
Shrek of anguish when she saw the
mass meeting on the front porch. The
minute the door was open all those
delegates pushed themselves in, smil-
ing and giggling as though they were
doing something mighty funny.
"Our house hadn't been in such dis
order in twenty years. 1t looked as
though couple of amateur teams had
been playing basketball in it. My
wife and ! began apologizing 9nd ex-
planning, as people win do under such
conditions. although they know that
nobody will believe what they say;
the guests assured us that it was all
right but | could see them squirting
around and making mental notes for
future reference. and inside of a week
the story was all over town that our
house was a fright, and no respectable
cow could live in it.
"That was the most miserable even
ing | ever spent, my friends, and 1
have never forgiven the people who
took part in that uprising. And you
may be sure I'll never treat another
man as l was treated"

I2 KILLED IN

John Powers Says He'll
Quit Chicago Politics as

CHIcAGO.-Sawed-off shotguns.

the war that has been raging in
Chicago's 18th Ward for year.
As result terror rules supreme
In the district. and residents are liv-
ing behind locked doors.
Number twelve OF the behind the
back slayings-the stabbing to
death of Mrs. Virginia Esposlto-
has led police TO believe that women
are playing a part Of hitherto un-
suspected importance In tho warfare.
The traditional seal Of silence which
has heretofore stumped police at all
turns has finally been broken down,
the police say. through a confession
they claim to have obtained from
Mrs. Amelia Panico. held IN connec-
tion with the opposite killing.
The general feud broke lose when
Tony D'Andrea, Italian political
leader. attempted to unseat Council
man Johnny Powers. The latter had
served for 30 years and was re-
elected.
The bitter political fight led to the
shooting down, IN rapid succession
of followers OF both D'Andrea and
Powers. Then came bombing OF
homes. destruction of property. ter.
rorist firing from speeding autos and
a deludge of blackhand letters.
D'Andrea himself was shot tC

sito, was a widow OF the first mar
slain. At the time Of her husbands
death she swore vengeance on his
slayers-and she paid for the oath
with her life.
The Espositos were Powers ad-
herents. The Panicos followed the
D'Andrea clique.
So bitter and bloody has the war
become that Councilman Powers has
announced his intention Of retiring

COMPARING MARRIAGES
OF THE PAST WITH PRE-
SENT DAY MARRIAGES

Gone are the good old days when
John and Mary went bravely to the
altar and plighted their troth in the
face of the fact that their sole capital
consisted of few silver dollars, two
strong bodies, four willing hands and
two hearts that beat as one.
In the little cot by the side of the
road were a rude table, two chairs, a
stove, bed and few stone china
dishes.
That was all; all except the abound
ing joy of their young hearts which
made the cot a palace and John and
Mary king and queen of their sacred
domain.
They expected to share each others
burdens, and they did. They expected
joy and they found it, They expected
success, and il come.
And with success came a looking
back to the old days of mutual toll and
sacrifice as the happiest days of their
lives.
Now all this is changed John must
have a car and Mary must wear a
solitaire. The cot by the side of the
road must be modern bungalow with
rugs and china and period furniture
to match fathers.

Seen at his headquarters in Lexing
ton, Colonel Whitehead vouchsafed
other highly enlightening information.
not only about the breeding work in
progress, but also of the utility Of
the thoroughbred horse; the intimate
relation between racing and the main
tenance and improvement of the stand
ard Of blood lines and the importance
of the thoroughbred to the State Of
Kentucky in particular.
"The immediate concern of the
American RemOunt Association" he
said, ''is to save riding and driving
horses and the high-class race horse
from extinction. We want to produce
a truly American type Of cavalry
horse-a horse with breeding and
quality, as well as bone and substance
"A weight-carrier and the best gen.
eral purpose horse known-a horse
that will weigh from 1000 to 1,25O
pounds, standing from 10 hands, ]

good gait and actiOn-a walk, trOt, gaI-
lop horse that can carry weight and
follow the hounds across country
that the family can drive to church,
and also one that can hold his own
at hard work on the farm-a horse
that can be used to advantage and
economically any and everywhere, ex-
cent in heavy draft.
This type Of horse has splendid
looks, quality, acton, and vlgor-a
wonderful all-purpose horse for thu
farmer and one that can be kept al
q minimum cost.
almost every commercial and mill
tary use will be met by the progeny
Of this breeding plan, dependent pri-
marly upon the size, quality and
blood lines Of the mares used in breed

Among the stations to be placed
throughout the United States this
spring Will be over one hundred head
of high-class registered thoroughbreds
big horses, with plenty of body, bone
and substance. These stations, placed
in the stud through Government agen-
cies, will be available to farmers and
breeders at minimum fee. The
Government does not expect to make
money, but to make 1t possible and
feasible for the farmer and breeder
to get the service of a high-class, ap-
proved stallion for their good :aares
the object being to produce animals of
real value and use that will earn their
keep-bring handsome profit when
mature. We expect the progeny at
maturity to make general-purpOse

driving horses, show horses. hunters,
race horses, polo ponies, depending
