Washington, FEB, ~ nc Navy
department has determined 20 enlist

sistanee 10 the movement IN con
gress Tor reducing the enlisted per-
sonnel OF the navy 10 $4,000.
Such a reduction would not only
force the United States navy out OF
proportion in the scheme OF rela-
tiYity worked out IN the naval treaty,
but would cripple the service aetu-
ally needed Tor peaee-time activities,

ing national defense III emergencies,
opponents OF the plan say.
President Harding has assured
Secretary DENLY and chiefs OF navy
bureaus that he would regard a re-
duetion al enlisted personnel below
10000. The King bill would make
il $4,000.
II can he stated. however, that the
American navy at the moment IS
lopheavy in commissioned personnel,
particularly in higher grades. IN
less the classes at the naval academy
soon are cut down, the topheaviness
will apply 10 the subordinate grades
as well.

Naval authorities take the position
that the fleets and the shore sta.

An impression has spread that the
scrapping of a number OF the older
battlcships will release large num-

iicers showed today that this is not
true. Only about 900 men will be re-
leased BY the scrapping Of the ships

Rarely indeed is an election held
which does not develop its crop of
"surprises." or results which are
difficult, even for the initiated, to
account for. Such was the case Tues
day in several instances, p%artiularly
the marked reversal OF Judgment Of
the voters in Preincts No. ! and 2.
Last year DR.. Kell received 1853 votes
in No. l. a clear majority Of 1O7 over
his Democratic opponent. while this
wear this same precinct gave him
but 81 votes. two less than Mr..
Stephenson. his Democratic contend
er. received.
There a be put n conclusion,
and that Is that the voters OF this
precinct, which includes Front street,
disapproved of the law enforcement
program which DR.. Kell promised
the people and which promise he
faithfully carried out.
Equally emphatic vas the endorse
ment of the other two precincts,
whose approval was plainly stamped
upon the acts and policies of the Kell
administration. especially that of
making Rawlins a clean, law-abid-
ing city. Last year DR.. Kell re-
ceived 1874 votes in No. 2. against
his opponents 1877, an adverse ma
jOrity Of 43, but in 1922 he re-
ceived 1874, carrying the precinct by
~ votes. a gain of 100. The doc
tors majority of 81 last year in
Precinct No. 3, was increased this
year to Sc.
At any rate the policy of law m
forcement. clean city government,
street improvement, a more efficient
fire department, economical expendi-
ture of public funds. in short-a
BETTER RAWLINS - has been
triumphantly INDICATED and a con.

ITKIN-LICHSTEIN

The past thirty days have been
'eventful ones In thelives OF Mr.. and
Mrs. A. r. Lichstein, as during that
comparatively short space Of time
three epochal events have TRANSFERRED,
all joyous ones and subjects for the
tongratulation of their friends.
TO begin with. on the 18th of last
month Mrs. Lichstein presented her
husband with a bouncing baby boy.
The little fellow arrived upon the
scene In Denver, where the expect
ant parents had gone several weeks
previously. BY the close of the
month. mother and child were suf-
ficiently strong to make the journey
back to their Rawlins home and all
three arrived safe and sound and
were given a hearty welcome.
Chronologically, the next big hap
pening was the purchase and first
occupancy of their new home. al
ways an event in the lives of any
couple. Mr.. Lichstein had pur-
chased the sfx-room residence from
erly belonging tt James Nelson. at
221 East Buffalo, where the family
nov resides.
Then. as II to cap the happy eli
max. on last Monday, the 10th, Ida,
the 18-year-old daughter OF the for
tunate couple. was married at the
family home of Morris Itkin. a resi-
dent Of seven years and an inspector
in the employ of the Union Pacific.
More than usually romantic is
this wedding. Mrs. Itkin. nee Lich-
stein. is, as are her parents, a native
of Russia. She did not come to this
country with her father. who has
been here even years. but remained
with her mother. Two years ago
she arrived in this country and has
since resided with her parents In
this city. The groom, Mr.. Itkin, has
been a member of Mr.. Lichstein's
household for the past seven years.
the latter being in reality his foster
father. For five years prior to the
arrival Of the family from across the
seas, the young man, who has now
become his son-in-law was the COM
panion and ward of Mr.. Lichstein.
The wedding ceremony was per-
formed at the family home by Justice
A. w. Beeler, where the happy young
newlyweds are at present enjoying
their honeymoon, having decided to
postpone a trip until later in the
summer.
