Washington, Feb. l3.--Secrctar benby appeared before the house naval committee today to recommend that the navy personnel for the next fiscal year be fixed at 10000 men and 5000 apprentices as compared with 100000 men and 6,000 apprentices now authorized.

 Mir. Denby described the status of the fleet in commission today show ing that battleships carry about S4 per cent complement, destroyers from 50 to so per cent; and submarines from 40 per cent Up.

FARMERS STATUS MUCH I'M

Pasadena Star-News: Farming pros
poets throughout the great agricultural
regions of the West are unusually prom
ising, Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing dl-
rector of the War Finance Corporation,
finds. Mr.. Meyer has made toQr of
inspection through the farming and
stock growing sections, and his report
to President Harding is quite optimls-
tic. He finds that the agricultural de-
preston which gripped the farmers a
short while ago, in some sections al
ready is thing of the past; in other
sections it is passing rapidly, and
everywhere hope and confidence are
taking the place of the despair which
six months ago was so widely prevail
ent.'
The farmers, chief need is better fl
nancing facilities. Recommendations
along this line are made by Mr.. Meyer.
But perhaps the most gratifying as
pect of the agricultural situation is the
psychologist one-the farmers are i'm
bued with hope. There is no more of
that acute depression which spread its
discouraging influence through the
farm belt and even gave rise to agita-
ton for a "strike' by farmers. There
is no such talk now. Farmers are plant
ing as usual and preparing to gather
an enormous harvest. Prices from
farm products are sufficiently remun-
erative to make the farmers feel pros
porous, and when they feel prosperous
they spend literally, and help greatly
to make the rest of the country feel
prosperous.

BITTERNESS rs UNBECOMING

Bitterness is unbecoming.
No woman would wear an unbecom-
ing hat if she could avoid it.
No woman would put on a distinctly
unbecoming gown or wear her halr IN
an unbecoming fashion if she could
find becoming one.
Yet neither an unbecoming hat or
gown, nor hair worn in an unbecom-
ING fashion, can destroy a woman s
charm more quickly and more utterly
than the very unbecoming mood of bit
terneSS.
T heard woman telling the other
day of a mean thing another woman
had done to her and of her intention
to get back at her.
A Bitter Mood Is Fatal
1t was n mean thing. Nobody could
rainsay that. But even though one
could understand the woman's resent
ment, that did not change the fact
that as she spoke about it all the pleas
ant musical infection went out of her
voice and all the charm of expression
that usually lights up her countenance
there came mean, hard, little lines and
a bitter expression. And, oh, how
plain and unlovely that woman did
look!
Men, T think, are peculiarly sensitive
to the change in woman that mood
like this brings. A great deal has been
said about the danger of losing man s
love if one gets into the habit OF wear
ing unlovely negligees and Of neglect
ing the little details that go to make
up physical loveliness. l think it is
quite as dangerous, quite as much Of
shock to love, to let oneself be seen
in mean or bitter mood as with one s
hair in curriers'.
