TIME TO LOOK FACTS IN THE FACET

-
outstanding disclosures that come as result of
the recent naval maneuvers and which should
command serious thought from the American
people are, first, that the Panama Canal cannot
withstand assault and, second the statement of
Rear-Admiral Plunkett, Commandant of the Brook
Ign Navy Yard that if our battle fleet were ord
cred to the PHILIPPINES it would lie able to get
there but that it could not operate or get back
home again unless some friendly nation sold to this
government enough fuel to enable the ships to
move.
This statement the Admiral explained is not
theory but a condition demonstrated bv events
leading up to the battle of Manila when onlv the
tact that British coal-laden ship was purchased
saved the day for Uncle Sam
There is something wrong somewhere when
this country must depend upon the friendship of
any foreign nation Tor its naval operation. Friend
ship between nations hangs on thread even thin
ner than that which binds the individual relation
ship. 1t is always taut and ready to snap Indeed
recent exhibitions demonstrating that the stern
grim power behind the call of the dollar made
blind man see that even noblesse oblige is no
more existant
This background throws into bold relief Our
situation in reference to American merchant ma
rine II we must look forward to future wars then
the demand for powerful merchant marine is
imperative to our safety. If on the other hand we
may look forward to the elimination of war then
our prosperity and development will be measured
largely by our position on the seas
1t is peculiar fact that America can find the
money to finance other nations which in turn use
our money to develop their shipping power but
mat when 1t comes to the production Of money for
the development of American ships upon the sea
me purse strings are pulled tight
In the light of present events the words of ADJ
mra Benson uttered when he was in charge Of
the United States Shipping Board are almost
prophetic Benson said that putting the American
flag back upon the seas was dependent on the
understanding OF the farmer His programme of
enlightenment was rudey and in the whirgig

meht the spades were stuck deep into the ground
which formed the foundation of American peace

Going further than the usual hand

to disclose not only spots made mem

Bobbers and
BARRIERS
The complaint of BARRIERS in some
places against the invasion of beauty
parlors that interfere with their bust
ness, is causing the plan of putting
both on the same basis as regards
occupation tax. There is hardly any
distinction left any more between the
two places, except the shaving OF
mems faces, for the barber shops of
fer all kinds of facial and scalp mas
sage and frequently manicuring, while
the beauty parlors have been bobbing
and shingling as one of their lines
Men go to beauty parlors for manicur-
ing and ladies and girls go to barber
shops for hair bobbing, so there is
no sharp line of distinction. This lat

until there is all-men barber shops es-

The Best Is

No need to pity the younger mem

Their chances mentally are brighter
according to illustrious example than
that of their elder brothers and sisters.
Examples OF genius to bear out this
fact are often mentioned Some of
these late-born children were Feni-
more Cooper, eleventh of twelve chill
dren; Honor Balzac, youngest son;
Napoleon Bonaparte, the eighth child ::
Benjamin Franklin, the youngest of
seventeen; Rembrandt, the fifth of
six children; Richard Wagner, the
last of seven, as was also Mozart; Rob
ert Schumann was a fifth child, and
Franz Shubert was the thirteenth of
fourteen children. The principle estab-
