in matters not covered by the treaty.
I'VE not only desire to have added
to 1T adequate air defense, but to
continuously advance that arm of the
service so as to improve it, as the air
service is absolutely necessary to
successful offense and defense"
While the development of the air
force and the submarine is of great
Importance, the Secretary explained,
he does not believe the development
of these two auxilaries of the naval
service will ever relegate the battle
ship to a place of minor Importance.
1T is absurd to suppose that the
battleship can ever be displaced" he
declared. New advances must be
made in defensive science, of course,
as advances are made in other arms
of defense"

Ex-ALDERMAN PENALIZED,
Convicted in Connection With
Murderous Assault on Editor.

SOPERTON, Ga, August 23.-Cros-
by Williams, former alderman and
prominent merchant here, was found
guilty by jury here last night of a
charge of assault in connection with
the shooting of H. M. Flanders, editor
of a local newspaper, and was SEN
fenced to one year on the Georgia
State prison farm.
Witnesses testified at the trial that
Williams accosted Flanders on the
main street here May 81, cursed him
for the authorship of certain editorials
which had appeared in Flanders paper
and then shot him down when the
editor, resenting the epithets, chal-
lenged fistic combat. 1t was asserted
that Williams was opposed to the edi-
tors uncompromising attitude against
alleged laxity in prohibition law en-
forcement
Flanders received only slight flesh
wound.

BEDTIME STORIES b By zzsss2s zHessEo"

Mrs. Porky thought them the most
beautiful babies in all the Great
World. They were not. They were
not beautiful at all. In fact. they
were just the opposite from beauti-
full But Mrs. Porky looked at them
through eyes of mother love, and this
made them beautiful and wonderful
to her.
They were only a couple of days
old, but they were surprisingly big,
Probably in all Green Forest there
were no other babies nearly as bi Q
for the size of their mother as these
two fretful babies in the bottom of
that hollow in the big tree At the
were as big as Buster Bears twins
when they were born. Yes, sir, that
is a fact
You know, of course. how Prickly
spears hidden in his coat, and how
for this reason all the other people
of the Green Forest respect him and
avoid him. 1t is the same way with
Mrs. Porky. But you wouldn't ex-
pect to find two day-old babies pro-
tected in the same way, would you?
But they were. Yes, sir, they were
Those two homely, funny little
ba bies were born with little spears or
quills hidden in their coats.
1t was well for Bobby Coon that
he hadn't succeeded in reaching
those babies before the return of
Mrs. Porky. He would have received
one of the most unpleasant surprises
in his whole life. l suspect that right
away he would have lost his appe-
tite for fresh meat. Those babies
were not quite SO helpless as their
whining and crying had led him to
think.
And how proud Mrs. Porky was
of them! There was no prouder
mother in all the Green Forest She
left them only long enough to go out
for food, and of course she didn't
have to go far for that. In this she
was more fortunate than some of the
other mothers of the Green Forest.
AS a matter of fact she had been
only a couple of trees away when
Bobby Coon had climbed up to the
entrance of her home. He hadn't seen
her because she had been high up in
the tree. Even had he seen her he
probably would not have guessed
that those babies were hers.
But all is well that ends we'll
Bobby Coon soon found a good meal
elsewhere. And the Porky babies
were soon asleep with their mother
to guard and protect them.

That's just the idea" returned the
bride. Il cannot understand why our
aprons have to be advertised by be-
ing made of a material and color to-
tally different from our dresses. In
this little rig l can go to the door
with my apron on, if it is spic and
span, as noW-and nobody knows the
difference. If it has become soiled l
can unbutton it in two jiffs and there
l am in my frock. In the same way
if the dress itself gets soiled I can
make it clean again by slipping on
the fresh skirt front. Great little
idea. isn't it? | have made all my

What Today Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
CANCER.

Today's aspects are good until late
In the afternoon, thereafter they are
OF an adverse character. In the
early part of the day they favor all
progressive action and thought. es-
pecially along educational or politi-
cal lines; they are also favorable to
business promotion of a conservative
nature. In the evening, rest and rec
reation, cessation of activities and
counseled.
A child born today will not be so
physically strong as might be desired; :;
careful attention must be paid to it's
diet, and it must have as much out
door exercise as possible. 1t will be
patient, and have a very affectionate
and sensitive disposition. 1t must
have a bright and cheerful environ
ment, and any severe discipline will
only accentuate the faults which it is
hoped to change. Only by great love
and kindness can this childs weak
nesses be strengthened, and its er-
rorS corrected.
tify yourself by the assumption of a
reserve which is chilling to your
friends and associates and very un-
satisfactory to yourself. Your charac-
ter is naturally generous, ana your
disposition affectionate and kindly;
you, however, seem afraid to reveal
yourself in your true colors, and, by
your timidity and forced "hauteur,"
neither give nor experience the hap
piness which is your due.
The handspring of your trouble is
your elf-consciousness. You are al
ways thinking, when it is too late, of
some kind or appropriate remark you
might have made, or of some gen.
erous and thoughtful action you
might have performed. Excessive,
self f-assertiveness is as distasteful as
exceeding self-consciousness is harm
full.
Very few love matches are success
full when demonstration is lacking.
1t is not enough to take love for
granted; there must be the spoken
word. 1t is not sufficient to think
that actions alone will satisfy the
cravings Of an affectionate friendship;
it also demands verbal assertion.
A kindly act, and an opportune one,
is a kernel Sown, that will grow to
a goodly tree. shedding it's fruit, whe n
time has flown, down the gulf Of
eternity.
Successful people born on this date
are: Arthur Middleton, signer of the
Declaration; George Bruce, type
founder; George W. F1agg, artist;
Thomas w. Knox, author, traveller
and inventor; Serene E. Payne, law
yer and congressman; Abner Double
day, soldier.
