The heaped-up insults had been
too much for even Lillians iron
cCmposure. She had rushed away
from him with but a single furious
epithet You beast" 1 never had
heard her refer 70 the conversation

Of hers made me wonder uneasily
what lay beneath her questioning.
Why Madge Knew.

Lucky for me that her first ques-

Robert Savarin crossed the room

tenderly bore her in his arms to the
adjoining room.
When the door had closed be-

a look on her face which I had

DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:

am a girl 20 years old. / have
a friend whose company I enjoy
very much. He has not come 10
see me since three months ago
when we quarreled.
We have met several times since,
and he was very pleasant toward
me, and really showed an inclina-
ton to be with me.
But he seems 70 feel a hesitancy
IN asking for a date. Do you think
it would be proper for me to invite
him to go with me TO a dance given
by a crowd OF girls, OF which l am
one? MISS y.
Miss y: II would not only be
proper. but very nice for you TO in
vite the young man to the dance
of which you speak.

friendship because of a quarrel,

good sense to see il.

The cause Of the collapse last

adjoining the johnson home should
have braced the wall because they
dug down at least eight inches belo "
the foundation OF the house." said
an official OF the building inspector S

-"Cordwood Sam" Miller, who In his

MENACES NAVY,

Secretary Alarmed Over Pros
poets Entire Fleet Will Stag
nate for Want of Funds.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,
International News Service.

The waves of economy. now roll
ing high In Congress. have more
nearly forced the American Navy
to haul down its flag than storm
waves or real enemy ever did.
Something closely akin to panic
existed in high naval quarters to-
day over the cutting and slashing
to which naval appropriations are
being subjected at the hands OF
economy bent Congressman.
So perturbed Is the Navy that
President Harding has again been
appealed to and asked to lay a
restraining hand on the congress
sional surgeons.
Continuation OF this cut-and-
slash policy, Secretary DENLY in
formed the President, threatens to
put the ships Of the Navy into
their nearest ports, there to remain
until Congress gets over it's "econo-
my spree" and appropriates funds
to permit operation.
President Harding, acting as me-
diator. relayed the Nays views
to Congressman Martin b. Madden.
chairman OF the House Appropria-
lions Committee. but there was no
signs Of captivating today on the
part OF the appropriations.
Naval authorities declared they
couldn't run a Navy without money
with which to buy oil and coal:
Congressional leaders declared
money enough had been provided.
And there the situation rested with
| the Nays eyes on the White
House, and Congressional eyes on
the coming fall elections.
Already perturbed over the House
plans TO cut the navy personnel
to 10000 men, or below, naval Off.
Gals said the last straw" was
the action OF the Appropriations
Committee in cutting a fuel ap-
preparation in the deficiency bill
to S6,20O,O00. They claimed that
twice this sum is needed to keep
steam up in the vessels OF the
American fleet even II they never
go outside the three-mile LIMIT.
The retort of Congressional lead
or today was that the navy is still
estimating needs on a wartime
scale.
Now. he said. oil is s1.4s a barrel,
and the navy is figuring that the
same old s2.50O.O00 a month is
| necessary to continue operation,
despite decreases in steaming dis
tances and I'm ships.

mile from the original town site,
Roachton followed. Townsmen as
