WANTS NAVY CREWS,
TRAINED IN REPAIRS
Admiral Robson Says Much Could
Be Saved by Efficient
Engineering.
SKILL NOW ON INCREASE
Much Work Could Be Spared Navy
Yards.

There is no reason to be discour-
aged over the engineering situation in
the Navy as long as the progressive
increase in efficiency of personnel
afioat continues, Admiral J. K Robi-
son, engineerin-chief of the Navy,
declared in his annual report made
public yesterday.
Commenting on the effort to stimu-
late ships personnel into doing a
greater proportion of their own re-
pair work instead of taking it to
navy yards, the report said:
"A much larger proportion than
ever before of all work of ordinary
maintenance and repair of the ma
chinery of the Navy is today being
accomplished by the men Of the fleet
without recourse to navy yards. ex-
cept for necessary material. This ac-
complishment has a most favorable
affect upon the skill and character CT
the personnel"
Admiral Robson said many casual
ties afioat could be traced to the
ignorance, 1carelessness. or inexperi-
ence of individuals" and added that
an engineering manual of instruction
on operation and care of machinery
had been prepared as "the best sub
Stitute for long years of experience. "
'In at least one instance a serious
casualty involving the death of sew
eral men was ascribed by the COM
mander-in- chief of one of our fleets
to failure to carry out the safety pre-
cautions set forth in the engineering
manual" the report said.
An average monthly decrease OF
approximately 1 per cent in fuel con-
sumption has been recorded, the ad-
miral said.

fed that he, in partnership with Rich

lutte monopoly of the liquor trade in
Houlton. In addition they were as

During the life of the agreement, he
testified, the sheriff was to notify him
in advance when a raid was contem-
plated. Finally the two felt that the
price was becoming burdensome, more
than the traffic would bear" and re-
pudiated 1t, he asserted.

COAL YARD DECISION

Abolished.
EXECUTIVES IN QUANDARY
Question of 1924 Purchases De-
pending Upon Outcome.

A decision is expected before the
and of the week by Secretary Work
in the matter of continuance or
abolishment Of the government fuel
yard and turning over of all gov
ernment coal business to local coal
dealers. The Interior Secretary is
waiting now for a statement of facts
from the director of the bureau of
mines, who is being given a chance
to answer the proposal of retail
dealers here in favor of retention Of
the fuel yard.
On receipt of the answer from the
mines bureau director, Secretary
Work will make public his decision
In the matter and his probable. rec
ommendation to Congress. Action by
the Legislative body will be necessary
in order to abolish the fuel yard.
Executives Puzzled.
With the decision forthcoming exec
utives of several of the departments
were puzzled as to what will be done
by them In purchasing coal should the
fuel yard be abolished. Whether a
central purchasing agency would be
set up, similar TO the proposed CEN
trail purchasing board suggested for
the Treasury, or whether each depart
ment would be authorized to go ahead
and make purchases of coal inde-
pendently was matter of discussion.
Adjustment of the fuel yard would
go far toward establishment of a
central purchasing board, proponents
of the plan believed
Local retail coal dealers submitted
to Secretary Work, through the Ma
tional Retail Coal Association, more
than two weeks ago, plan for
abolishment of the fuel yard. They
proposed. it was understood, to bond
themselves to furnish coal to the
government over an extended period
at prices lower than coal is now
) furnished by the fuel yard. Details
of the plan were not made public,
Secretary Work preferring, he said, to
withhold the details until he had
made decision in the matter.

Now the courts decision has been

Consequently the marriage Of the

to get titles; others marry to ac-

couple was released.
But there is not a grain of love
