Of "big navy" men, on the heels OF
thcir victory for bigger enlisted

the 1923 naval bill providing money
increases for. shore station activi-
ties, provoked a bitter row in the
house today. in the course of which
Chairman Kelley charged they
had backed down. expecting the
senate to complete the job
Starting unexpectedly, it ragged
for an hour Or more and drew
many into the fray. The good
faith of those who had changed
their plan at the eleventh hour was
questioned by Chairman Kelley and
Representative Mondell, the Re
publican leader. and quickly resent
ed by those who had put through
the amendment increasing the per-
sonnel from $1,000 to $4,000.
Ready with proposals, one call
ing for s6,600,000 additional. for
the bureau of construction and re-
pair, and another for s2,ee9,000 for

is in plain view now. More de-

Meeting Of The Executive Commit
tee OF The american Legion.

The executive committee Of the
American Legion Auxiliary held Il
meeting in the American Legion
hall on Monday afternoon at (
o'clock. At this meeting, it was
decided to hold Auxiliary meetings
every third Monday in the month.
providing this day is convenient to
the majority Of the members. In
harmony with this decision, there
will be a meeting of the entire
membership OF the American Lee
gion Auxiliary on the third Mon
day in May.
Miss Irene Bryan was appointed
publicity chairman and has since
consented to serve.
A committee, consisting of Mrs.
NJ. 3. Warren, Miss Cora Duf1ie,
and Miss Eleanor Richardson, was
appointed to cooperate with the
American Legion and other organ
izations in arranging an appropri-
ate celebration Of Memorial Day,
May 10.
The report of the Membership
Committee Chairman showed that
there were still many mothers and
sisters eligible for membership
whose names do not appear on the
roll CT the American Legion -AuXil-
iary. 1t is hoped that all these
will avail themselves OF the privi
lege of membership and will join
now while the Auxiliary is in its
formative period so that they may
have full voice in saying what
Sumter's post shall stand for. Ii
the only reason person is incl
liGible is because her son or broth
er is not a member Of the Ameri-
can Legion Post here or elsewhere,
this matter can ver:' easily be ar
ranged The members Of Post Is
right here in Sumter will gladly
welcome any eX-soldier to men,
bersfip in the American Legion
or see that his membership is
transferred TO any post ho desires.
The American Legion is our boys
at home annd we who kept the
Home Fires Burning when they
were far away should not let any
suffer because they are home again.
We backed them up when they
were over there can we do less
when they are over here?'
