NAVAL OFFICERS NEEDED.
DENLY Declares Entire Glass at An
napolis Should Be Graduated.

All of the 5000 officers of the Navy
will be needed, even with the enlisted
personnel reduced to $4,000 men. Sec
retary DENLY yesterday told the Senate
appropriation committee revising the
naval appropriation bill. He added
that compared to- foreign navies the
Ame:..an ratio of officers was con-
siderably lower.
Secretary DENLY urged that all
members of the June class at the An
napolis Naval Academy be commits
stoned. declaring they would beeneed-
ed to fill up the officer ranks. Secre-
tary DENLY said that it was not eX-
pected that all of the undergrad
yates now at Annapolis should be
commissioned. but he said that all
should be allowed to complete their
courses and be given diplomas at
least
To avoid an excess number of cadets
and officers in the future. Secretary
DENLY reiterated recommendations to
reduce the number of Annapolis ap-
pointments for each member of Cons
gress from five to three.
Commissioning of all the June class
also was recommended by Rear Ad-
miral Wilson. superintendent of the
academy. who praised the graduating
class highly and said that despite
threats of denial of commissions the
morale Of the class had been main
tanned.

Nothing New

I saw girl, a social pet, light
up a costly cigaret; she blew the
smoke around her head, and mourn-
fully I sighed and, said, Great
Caesar! Whittier do we drift? These
modern women are too swift. |
guess l am behind the times; I'm
always seeing sordid crimes and
vicious customs, all day long, where
others notice nothing wrong. But
in the old days gone to seed. NO
women used the filthy weed" I
make such statements off the reel !;
l always like to make spiel OF dear
dead days beyond recall, when sin
was not on earth at all. But when
II sit me down to think, find my
spiel was on the blink. The women
of the bygone years were welded
to the pipe that cheers. My
grandma had an old clay pipe, and
smoked a weed that smelled like
tripe. The housewives used to
|blithely puff; when tired of smoke
they tackled snuff see them smok-
ing in a row, and singing gossip to
and fro. An old clay pipe is worse,
you bet, than any modern cigaret.
My moral feet are always cold. such
sinful customs l behold! Yet ever
when | look behind. and call old
customs back to mind, I see that
granny put up grass just like the
giddy modern lass.

ROADS CUT HEAVY LOSSES
Freight Claim Division Reports
Saving Of Millions.

Saving to the railroads of between
forty and fifty million dollars this
year in freight loss and damage
claims is indicated by recent figures
compiled by the freight claim di-
vision of the American Railway AS
ISOLATION.
Total payments made by the rail-
roads in 1920 for losses and damage
to freight in transit were $119,S32, 127,
while in 1921 total expenditures for
these items were approximately
S101, 100000, a decline of Is per cent.
AS ,3OO,0 600 fewer claims were car
ried over into 1922 than were on the
books of the carriers at the begin
ming of 1921, the association said.
and, taking into consideration the
reduction of IS per cent in the num-
Der of claims presented, there is
good prospect that the total loss and
ceed $60.000.o0o, and may be cut to
S5O00O,000.

LONG TERM FARM
CREDIT IS URGED
Meyer Says Six and Nine
Month Loans Needed.
Present System Wrong.

American financial conceptions need
revision to provide longer term financ-
ing for agriculture, Eugene Meyer,jr..
managing director Of the War Fl
nance Corporation, declared yesterday
before the House banking and cur
rency committee, which is conducting
hearings on pending agricultural re-
lief legislation.
Our fundamental financial concep-
tions and attitudes are based upon
the imported English and continental
conceptions of what constitutes
soundness in banking" said Mr..
Meyer. But the basic business of
tribution of agricultural commodi-
ties. and sixty or ninety day financing
does not adequately meet the market
ing needs of the producer"
II maintain" he said, that the
six and nine months loans on wheat
and cotton, made by the War Finance
Corporation. to cooperative marketing
organizations, are as liquid. from the
point of view of security. as the ninety
day paper representing advances to
merchants and manufacturers. Long
time paper may be more liquid as to
security than short-time paper. 1t
may not be as well adapted as an
investment for all of a banks funds
representing deposits payable on de-
mand, but the experience of the War
Finance Corporation demonstrates
that when adequate financing for the
time needed is provided, staple agri-
cultural commodities are liquidated
in an orderly way. in fact. the liquid
quality Of the security is enhanced by
a more gradual marketing process.
The self liquidating quality Of paper
depends upon the orderly marketing
of the commodities underlying it far
more than upon the duration written
on it's face"
The Federal Reserve System, Mr..
Meyer declared. has partially recog-
nized the need for longer term finan-
cling for the agricultural turnover,
but the financial system, as a whole,
has not adequately recognized the
necessity of co-relating agricultural
financing with the normal processes
of productjop and cop m nj ion
