it is proceeding with the piecemeal sale Of
our merchant marine to private and may

Some countries. like France, have what
they call minister of the marine instead
Of a secretary of the navy. Working with
him is another official called an under sec
rotary for the merchant marine.
Why? Because these governments rec
ognize the merchant marine as an integral
part of their national defense and intend
to keep absolute control over its general
policies. They practice what we preach.
Our national defense is badly in need OF a
little teamwork on the part of our gov

Elasticity means the posses
sion Of a structure weak enough

10 give up old habits and make
new ones. II allows him 10
make continual experimentation
with his environment, which IT.
cilitates the formation OF habit
and the formation OF character.
This latter is the only thing in
the world which really matters.
Again, remember your child
In an adult in miniature, with an
intense emotional life which is
trying experiments thruout hts
waking hours. And these experi.
ments are egotistical--the child
is quite as important 10 himself
as you are 10 yourself.
Should the child be discussed

MANY HOPE TO JOIN
ROOSEVELT ON TRIP
Hundreds Apply for Permis-
sion to Share in Big Game
| Expedition.

NEW YORK, April s.-Hundreds of
applications have been received by
Col. Theodore Roosevelt and his
brother Kermit from persons wish
Ing to accompany them on that James
Simpson Field Museum game hunting
expedition into Turkestan. They sail
Saturday.
Col. Roosevelt said yesterday that
the ture-hunting applicants
ranged from preachers with mis-
sonary intentions, college graduates
hunters and trappers to feminine
typists. One wrote from France.
Many came in person from out of
town. One young Sioux Indian saved
enough to travel overland from
Tacoma, Wash. He is understood to
be cook now in a local hotel.
Col. Roosevelt also received many
letters of advice, together with an
assortment of such gifts as special
oil for guns, radio equipment and
books. But no radio goes along, he
saidS

He announced as a tentative itin-
erary, subject to change: The

party will spend a few days, COM

teriaLs; thence to Marseilte; by

rail to Rawl Pindi in India.

Rifles and Hounds in Equipment.
The rifles, Col. Roosevelt said. were

ahead with the first detachment,
which sailed last Saturday In charge
of q. X. Cherrie, Field Museum expert,
who is to accompany the expedition.
Two of the hounds came from Mon
tana and two from. the Paul Rainey
pack in Mississippi. The Leh Pass
route, it is estimated, will add 10
days extra marches over the Hunza
Pass, to which the British authorities
were unable to issue permit on the
ground that all available native car
riers had been engaged by another
hunting expedition.
1t was learned here today that this
earlier party comprised two: Dutch
explorers. the Wiser brothers, who
were accompanied by two Swiss AL
pine guides and a French diplomat
sportsman.
