Rr Associated Press

Washington February 15.-Pro- posals for steps to relieve unemploy- ment among navy yard workers caused by the recent order suspend ing work on ships and guns which would be scrapped under the naval limitation treaty were submitted to Secretary Denby today by President Gompers of the American Federation Of Labor and committee of navy yard workers, and have been recom- mended to the technical experts of the navy department for considera- ton.

Villains and Villains

7MERHAPs your idea of a villain I0 and mine isn't exactly the S same, which requires an expla- nation of just exactly what my idea is
 The dictionary says that villain is one who has committed or is dis posed to commit any flagitious or dis graceful crime or series of crimes" and 1 think that my idea coincides with the dictionary. so much so that when I met Mir. Lionel West yester- day who is the "heavy villain" of pie lures, 1 just stood and gasped and wondered beeause-certainly he isn't my idea of villain; nobody in the world with the frank, wholesome, ra- diant personality that this young g Alabamian possesses could have any villainous qualities in his makeup, nor yet semblance of any attribute that the villain is supposed to pos- sess.
 Like/another Alabamian, Henry B. WalthaH. of whom all Alabama is proud and who is one of Mir. Vests most intimate friends, and whom he considers the greatest film actor who has ever been on the screen, MT. West Has HdoS q SIBHdA suNccssA III DIG lures.
 Mir. Lionel West, born in Anniston, and spending his early life in Geor- gia, where he was a student at Geor- gia Tech and the University of Georgia he is a typical college man athletic, young, stalwsrt, his swarthy skin and dark brown eyes suggesting his Indian ancestry-withal a college boy whom your brother or your son would bring home for the Christmas holidays and all the girls in town would go rip, stark, staying mad about.
 Lionel West is a young giant. with his magnificent physique and his handsome face, towering many inches above the average man, and he breathes the atmosphere of whole someness and clean living, with noth- ing of the villains traits of character --thote monsters he has portrayed on tht screen.
 It kas real pleasure to meet this nice young man, and to hear him from many of the stories circulated about the moving picture colony out in Hol- lywood, at Universal City, are false, and believe it, coming from him, be- cause he seems so frank and so gen ufne.
 When tell you that I went to a dinner party with a bunch of 1s of ths most prominent moving picture stars In the world" said Mr. West, just before left California to cone back to Alabama, my old home. for s visit and out of the IS, 1s of them did

 Now Peter couldn't run straight for that alder clump. To get there he must run around the open water on the edge of which he and Jerry had been sitting. This meant Old Man Coyote had just chance 10 cut him off. The very second Peter started Old Man Coyote saw him and also saw that chance and started too. Now Peter can go fast for a short distance. Old Man Coy ote can go fast too. Both were do- ing their best Peter was running for his life. Old Man Coyote was running for his dinner. Jerry Musk rat sat still watching and almost as much excited as if he himself were running for his life.
 Run, Peter, Rum Runw he kept saying over and over to himself d. it began to look as if Old Man Coy ote would head Peter off.
 Peter did run. He never ran faster for he never had had need to run faster. He was running just as fass as he could Just at the instant when it seemed that old Man Coyote would snap his jaws together on Peter. and so win the race and dinner Peter made a flying leap straight into the middle or that alder clump. There. sure enough, was the hole Jerry had told him of. and he was inside it in less time than it takes to fell It.. He was safe for while anyway.
 Smack Old Man Coyote crashed into that clump of alders. He was going so fast he couldn't stop. He shut his eyes as he struck. When he opened them Peter Rabbit had disappeared. "Huhr' snar1ed old Man Coyote. Then he discovered the hole. He stuck his nose in it. for it was too small for him to get his head in. You'll never leave here alive. :" he snarled, just by way of worrying Peter.
 And as Peter sat inside there try ing to get his breath and wondering if he eyer would get back to the dear Old Briar- patch he no longer pitied Jerry Muskrat Instead he actually was envious. Jerry hadn't had 10 run. If f-Old Man Coyote had come too near all Jerry would have to do would have been to dive into the water and then go on about his business just as if there wasn't such person as Old Man Coyote. Yes sir, Peter Rabbit actually envied Jerry Muskrat

Here comes Old Man Coyote" ex- claimed Jerry Muskrat.
 "where?" cried Peter Rabbit. and there was fear in his eyes. At once he saw that Jerry had told the truth {; Old Man Coyote was coming across the meadows straight toward them. He hadn't seen them yet. They knew that by the careless way in which he was coming. He hadn't seem them because they hadn't moved as they had sat there talking. But the in- stant either did move he would see them. Both knew this.
 "Oh dear, What is to be done :'' whispered Peter.
 I'm all right. but you are in rather a tight place" Jerry whis- pered back Now if only you could swim you could laugh at him. He won't waste any time trying to catch me because he knows it is useless to even try. ListenN Peter: In the middle of that clump of alder bushes over wonder is hole which I have kept open all winter. It is the en- trance to one of my tunnels in the bank. If you can get inside that be- fore Old Man Coyote can catch you you will be safe, but to do it you'Il have to start at once. You haven't any time to waste"
 Thank you Jerry. I'll never for get it. I'm off" whispered Peter,
