1t was announced last night by Mr.
Leeman that the entire fourth class

of the yard have resigned their posi-

elsewhere. Mr.. Leeman said that a

plate resigning if they can find posi-

Many May Lose Homes.
Many Of the navy yard employees
according to Mr.. Leeman, are con-
fronted with the loss of homes they
are purchasing. due to the drastic cut
in their pay. The low salaries, he
said, make it virtually impossible for
them to continue payments.
This fact also is revealed in a let
ter received by officials of Columbia
Lodge from the real .estate frm of Joe
Brown, 1917 F street. protesting
against the reduction In pay of the
navy yard employees. y

FRISCO TEAM SPEEDY
(By Associated Press

MONTEREY, Cal, March 21.-Peo-
pie who make baseball predictions in
March say that the 1921 San Francisco
team of the Pacific Coast league, now
in training here, will be speedy,
smooth working machine, faster, per-
haps, than the 1920 team. From the
start of the season, it is predicted, the
Seals will be among the league lead
ers.
San Francisco's pitchers this year
probably are the tallest and heaviest
and apparently the livest in the clubs
history. Sam Lewis, Jim Scott, John
ny Couch and Frank O'Doul are ap-
parently slated for regular berts.
O'Doul is a southpaw. Behind the bat
there will be two stars, Sam Agnew,
and Archie Yelle. In the infield, Ell
lison probably will play at first, Rath
at second, Caveny at short and Kamm
or Rhyme at third. Out in the field.
Schick, Kelly, Fitzgerald, and O'Con-
nell will be in most of the lineups.
Two men, another pitcher and in
fielder are need, it is believed, and the
San Francisco owners are hoping to
get them from Detroit and New York,
which owe players to the Seals.

For Districts

The recently enacted local bud
get law" applicable to all tax levy
ing bodies within the state. adds
little to the irrigation district law
other than the requirement that
the board Of directors shall ap-
point each year three qualified
electors and freeholdera, none OF
who shall be officers. agents or
employees OF the district, who, to-
gether with the members OF the
board shall constitute the budget
committee. This is the holding Of
Attorney General Van Wrinkle as
set forth in an opinion to State
Engineer Cupper. Heretofore the
budget has been prepared by the
board Of directors alone.
In view of the fact that the next
act specifies no particular time at
which the required duties are to be
performed, the attorney general
points out that there is no reason
why the provision Of the old act
specifying the time should not be
complied with as there is suffi-
cient time between the date of the
preparation of the budget and the
discussion by the taxpayer for the
publication or posting required by
the new act.

Demands New
Quality Mark

American and Americans always
move forward. never backwards.
The standard OF living in the Uni
ted States rises steadily. Bath
rooms and other things which
were luxuries to our forefathers,
are the commonest necessities to-
day.
So the automobile has become a
necessity because it has proved its
worth for personal transportation
and family recreation. When Nc
Kinley became president there
we're but four automobiles in the
United States. Today there are
more than eight million.
mot only does the standard Of
living of the successful American
of today require an automobile but
the standard OF requirements for
automobiles steadily RISES" says
H. M Jewett, president of the
Paige-Detroit Motor company. IA
few years ago an automobile that
would run was sufficient NOW
the motorist expects a great deal
in the way of performance. With
improved roads people drive great
er distances, and demand speed.
"The motor power that develops
speed is even more necessary in
ordinary driving. That is why we
build exceptional power and flexi-
bility into Paige six-cylinder no
tors. The American motorist Of
today wants to climb hills with
out shifting gears. On crowded
highways he wants to shoot
around the car ahead in hurry
and wants to be first away at the
turn of the traffic semaphore.
Paigne cars are built to do these
things"
