DENBY REVIEWS
FIGHT AGAINST
MORENAVY CUT
Secretary Holds Out for Keep
ing Personnel of
10000.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Secretary of
the Navy DENLY went before the House
Appropriations Committee today to renew
his fight to keep the Navy from being
cut below the strength fixed by the
Washington armament conference.
Discussing his 1923 estimates with
the naval section of the committee.
DENLY held out for an annual appr0-
priation of $3.50, 100000. to maintain an
enlisted personnel of 10000. His argu
ments were similar to those advanced
before the House Naval Affairs Commit
tee. but the session had to do primarily
with the actual money required to carry
out the plans previously outlined by the
Secretary and other officials of the Navy
Department. The naval affairs section
is headed by Representative Pay kally
of Michigan, one of the leaders in the
campaign Of a number of House mem
bers to slash at least $1jO,000,0OO from
the departments requests.
DENLY proposed to plead for a work
ing Navy" explaining and demonstrate
ing to the committee the value OF each
type of ship which the Navy requires
for its peace-time operations.

SWINE VALUES
SUFFER DECLINES
Cattle Values Steady to Strong
Calves and Sheep Firm.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

Swine prices were 15@25c lower in
trade on the local livestock exchange to-
day. declines being due principally to
the fact that this market has, for some
time, been out of line and too high for
otoher principal markets of the country.
Receipts for the day ran close to 1000,
and, with packers and shippers with
Eastern house connections showing good
demands, practically all of the receipts
had been sold before the close of the
early forenoon hours.
Both packers and shippers got their
usual quotas.
Light swine were 25c lower, as were
light mixed, while other grades Of good
hogs were about 15c lower.
Cattle values ruled steady generally,
but there were spots, especially in sales
of heifers and cows, that were strong
to a shade higher.
Receipts for the day ran close to 500
and the quality was fair to good. The
demand by practically all of the pack
ers was good.
Veal prices were firm, with receipts
around 400, the quality only fair and
the demand by shippers fair.
The top of $3.50 of the previous day
was maintained. but there were not as
many sales at that price as there were
on the preceding market.
There were only about fifty sheep and
lambs on the market and prices were
steady. A few good lambs brought SD

GROCERS SEEK
COOPERATION
Food Show to Be Staged Here
Beginning April 20.

The need of better cooperation be-
tween the grocer, the manufacturer and
the consumer of food products will be
6 yhasized at the forthcoming food
show which the Indianapolis Retail
Grocers Association will stage beginning
April 20.
j. w. Dean. manager of the exposition,
said that many manufacturers were often
Lady Handicapped through the careless
ness of housewives in preparing certain
food products for meals, in not following
directions for preparation or through
carelessness in serving, making a failure
of the dish and then refusing ever to
serve 1t again.
These manufacturers will have spe-
cial daily demonstrations for club women
and housewives Of indianapolis to obviate
this handicap and to show the women
how to best prepare and serve certain
foods at the least expense and in the
most palatable way. Experts In do
nestle science and cookery will have
charge Of these demonstrations
The exposition committee is working
out series Of days" for the women of
the city, including all clubs and organi-
cations in which women are interested as
well as for those who are not members of
organizations. Certain kind. of food will
be cooked and served on these days, the
women being especially invited to watch
the cooking demonstrations.
President Bulger of the association
said the committee on program would
have a number Of surprise entertainment
features during the show, not the least
among them being mCsicaI programs and
dancing.

usual attention.

vOred by an increased following.
Sentiment generally is still favorable
TO the market, hut we now must pay
closer attention to the technical position

We must not overlook the fact that We
have had a continuous advance during
the last six months.
In many instances the rise IN values

IN the market is generally larger ana
we must from now on be prepared Tor a
more twO-sided market with more IRE
