FRANCE SAID TO Be
IN HARMONY WITH.
HUGHES PROPOSAL.
Viviani Declares French Naval
Program Does Not Provide
For ExpanSion-FIeet
Has Suffered
BY Associated Press

Washington, December 9.-France
is doing nothing in the matter Of in
ereasing her navy which is in opposi-
ton to the principles proposed by
the Washington conference, M. vi
viani, head of the French delegation,
said tonight. Parliament year ago,
he added, made provisions for re-
placement and repair work after the
war but there was no expansion as
such provided for. In an interview
he said certain American newspa-
pers have expressed some surprise,
he said, "at the information wired
from Paris respecting the vote for
the French navy. Public attention
has been particularly called to the
fact that the personnel of the navy
will be increased from $1,000 to
$1,000 men,"
This increase Is even pointed out
as appearing to be in opposition Win
the views generally set forth at the
washington COHIeIehCo Dy 40 SAAo.A
man, Mr.. Hughes, and to which M.
BRAND has adhered substantially on
behalf of France. This has served as
q reason for starting a new debate
on the naval claims of France. 1t
seems useful not to allow public
opinion in America to be led astray
in this respect.
at may first be permissible to say
that no definite date has as yet been
communicated to the press about the
Intentions of France regarding her
navy. No discussion of the kind can
be entered into until the measures
concerning the French navy have
come for examination before the con-
ference. This is because the proper
tions of the French navy are not to
be dealt with before an agreement
has been reached for the American,
British and Japanese navies.
Normal Budget
'Tt is to be observed that the nor
NAL budget estimates for 1922 actual
ly provided for an increase rate of
1907 men above the effectives pro-
vided for in 1921. the actual figures
being for 1921, 55,4i4 and for 1922
56.92f. The difference, therefore, is
significant"
The decision to increase the per-
sonnet of the fleet to this extent, M
viviani said was taken quite year
ago and consequently long before the
Washington conference was called.
THE increase rate does not relate

how the children are taking to the
savings plan If I went out to see. So
visited Wylam school, called up
Bush and Fairfield. and these were
the reports: w. A. Reagan. princi-
pal of Wyiam, says:
"Our savings banks system Is one
of the best things we've ever had.

Only a few schools, as yet. have
these banks, but that is because DR..
Glenn wants to try out the system
he is using to see IL it Is xactly what
he wishes; if it will bring the results
he desires, and If it is capable of
filling the public demand satisfac-
torily.
These savings banks ne is trying
out are in Wylam, Bush and Fairfield
schools, and reports from the prin-
cipals show that they are very popu-
lar, and that already goodly amount
of cash has been slowed away. The
banks hang on the walls of the
schools. where they are quite convent
.ent for the children to deposit In
them their small offerings each day.

One of the cheapest cuts of beef Is the flank steak. If this steak is cooked carefully the tough fibers of the meat are softened and made pal atable. There is no waste by bone or gristle and quite as much nourish- ment as tn the most expensive cut.
 Most butchers take their knife and score flank steak. before selling it to their customer, but this is easily done by the cook herself. Be careful not to cut too deeply and do not pound" the meat.
 Make paste of one-half teaspoon mustard, teaspoon salt, l teaspoon sugar and about 3 tablespoons vim egar Spread this paste over the meat Put the meath a large frying pan and cover with an onion very thinly sliced. Pour 1a cup boiling water in one side of the pan very carefully. Do not let the water disturb the paste or onion. Cover closely and put in a slow oven for at least an hour and half When ready to serve dot with butter and sprinkle with minced pars- ley.
 There win be absolutely no taste of vinegar or mustard, but the meat will be very tender. The vinegar is used to soften the tough fibers rather than to give flavor.
 Another way to cook a flank steak Is to spread it with the same vine gar paste and cover it with bread

Little Stories For Bedtime
 BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
PADDY THE BEAVER WORKING
 HARD
BY THORNTON VI

Work, work all the night
 While the stars are shining bright; Work, work all the day,
 I have got no time to play.
 This little rhyme Paddy the Beaver made up as he toiled at the building of the dam which was to make the pond he so much desired deep in the Green Forest. Of course, it wasn't quite true, that about work ing all night and all day. Nobody could do that. you know, and keep it up. Everybody has to rest and sleep. Yes. and everybody has to play a little to be at his best. So it wasn't quite true that Paddy worked all day after working all night. But it was true that Paddy had no time to play He had too much to do. He had had his playtime during the long summer and now he had to get ready for the long, cold winter.
 Now, of all the little workers in the Green Forest. on the Green Meadows, and in the Smiling Pool none can compare with Paddy the Beaver, not even his cousin. Jerry Muskrat. Happy Jack Squirrel and Striped Chipmunk store up food for the long, cold months when rough Brother North Wind and Jack Frost rule, and Jerry Muskrat builds fine house wherein to keep warm anl comfortable, but all this is as noth- ing to the work of Paddy the Beaver as you shall see.
 As I said before, Paddy had had a long playtime through the summer. He had wandered up and down the Laughing Brook. He had followed it way up to the place where it start ed And ali the time he had been studying and studying to make sure that he wanted to stay in the Green Forest In the first place, he had to be sure that there was plenty of the kind of food that he likes Then he had to be equally sure that he could make a pond close by where this particular food grew. Last of all, he had to satisfy himself that if he did make pond and build home he would be reasonably safe in it. And all these things he had done in his playtime. Now he was ready to go to work, and when Paddy begins work he sticks to it until 1t Is fin ished. He says that that Is the only way to do to succeed, and you know and I know that he is right.
 Now, Paddy the Beaver can see al night just as Reddy Fox and Peter Rabbit and Bobby Coon can, and he likes the night best because he feels safest then. But he can see in the daytime, too, and when he feels that he Is perfectly safe and no one is watching, he works then. too. Of course, the first thing to do was to build a dam across the Laughing Brook to make the pond he so much needed. He chose low, open place deep in the Green Forest, around the edge of which grew many young poplar trees, the bark of which is his favorite food, and through the middle of this flowed the Laughing Brook. At the lower edge was just the place for . dam.A It would not have to be very long, and when it was finished and the water was stopped Tn the Laughing Brook il would just have to flow over the low open place and make a pond there Paddy's eyes twinkled when he saw
