JAPAN NAVAL
ABILITY NOT
RATED HIGH
Experts Have Little Regard
For NipOnese as Sailors
and Sea Fighters
BY CHARLES =. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

Washington. May Militarists,
who abound here, arc all excited
over reports that Japan's reply to
the United States Hawaiian naval
maneuvers is to be set Of maneu,-
crs of her own. to show how easily
she could beat such a fleet as this
country's- of course in Far Eastern
waters.
1t isn't likely the Japanese think
they could defeat America anywhere
in the vicinity of the latter's home
shores. Possibly they don't think
they can defeat her at all. That
idea may be merely complex some
people have got.
The expected Japanese maneuvers
are said to be scheduled for May ~
This makes the Washington militar-
lists complex worse. May u is the
anniversary Of the Battle of Tsush-
ina, in which Japan's fleet destroy
cd Russia's. just 20 years ago.
IAN apt reminder" say the mill
tarists, "of the great sea fighters
. the Japanese are and how necessary
it is to be ready for them"
With all due respect for Japan s
courage and not disputing she can
lick any fleet in the state Of disre-
pair Russa's was in, the truth is
that the japanese are known among
seafaring men as poor shipbuildcrs,
bad sailors and perfectly impossible
hands in an engine room.
The classic example Of Japan's
shipbuilding is that of one Of her
crack l6.O0O-ton passenger liners,
we'll known on the Pacific and still
in service-with the Lord only knows
what weight of concrete and pig iron
in her hold, to keep her keel under
meath her.
This crafts sister ship, which
preceded her. was built in England.
Her Japanese owners tried her out
satisfactorily. Then they told the
English builders they wanted anoth-
er boat but would like to examine
the plans first, with view to pos
sible notifications.
The builders. suspecting the Jap
anese Of intending to do their own
building from the English plans
made certain subtle changes before
handing them over.
Sure enough, the new vessel was 8
Japanese product. Launching day
arrived. The ship slid down tn
ways, hit the water and Instant!
turned bottom side up.
Later she was induced to assumt
more dignified attitude, but i
took English experts to persuade he
to do it.

ADVANTAGES OF A JUNIOR

TIE pave the way for ones life
work, and to extend educational OPP
portunities at q minimum cost
these are the two prime detectives
OF a Junior College. We hear again
and again of the advantages of a
Junior College, but they cannot be
cver-emphasized. If in doubt as to
what profession you would like to
enter or if your pocketbook will not
permit other means of education, go
to the Junior College, for it will aid
in solving the problem.
Many attend the Junior College
with little aim; they soon leave.
Others go with earnest intentions,
but soon become Disguised; they
likewise leave. Still others go with
high purposes to learn, with visions
of the future looming ahead, and
with the 'alization thai knowledge

Jack Hayes this busy life forsakes;
He never would refine his brakes.

He took the curve at forty miles.

A POINTED ARGUMENT.

The next Minnesota Legislature is
going to give the matter of estab-
fishing a state constabulary much
more serious consideration than that
given by the last one, if the present
rate of brigandage on the farms is
maintained. On Saturday alone, de-
spite farm protective organizations,
more than 200 birds valued at ST.
900 were stolen from the chicken

the poultry raisers of the three
states, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, have sustained a loss of

WIDESPREAD SUPPORT

st. Paul January 5 and 6, will be a

the Northwest is indicated more

In response to Gov. Christian

they will attend or be personally
represented in this meeting. They
base their interest on the ground
that the waterway will increase the

share. Some of them go further,
pointing out that it will directly

VETERANS BUREAU
HOSPITAL WORK INCREASES.

disqualification work of the United
States Veterans Bureau is on the
increase despite the fact that the
war ended sever years ago. This is
revealed in the report of General
Frank T. Hines, head of the vet
ercns bureau, to Congress.
On June 80, 1925, the end of the
governments fiscal year, there were
30,479 beds available for veterans
in government operated hospitals
and for every bed there was a wait
irg list, Director Hines declared.
In Minnesota, the new hospital at
st. Cloud and the hospital about to
be constructed at Fort Smelling, will
greatly relieve the shortage of hos
pital beds. It was due largely to
the efforts of the Legion and other
veteran organizations that the con-
struction of these hospitals in Min
nesota was authorized.

BY THE "CAT HOUSE
ROUTE.

There was once a rounded dollar in
the jeans of Farmer Jones,
Which tunefully jingled with a SINH
lar bunch of bones.
And Farmer Jones that same plumb
took and paid a debt he owed;
And so it went a travelling on 6
debtors tightening road.
1t visited the editor who sem it or
to Gray,
Who owed a bill to Jenkins, and he
paid the same that day.
And Jenkins bought goloshes for to
keep his "tootsies" dry,
And the shoe man paid a grocer by
the gentle name of Frye.
Now Frye, who needed -four, paid il
over to the mill,
Which wanted wheat for grinding
paid it back to jones' till.
And thus it was that Jones' dollar
after paying debts a score,
1ent round the whole home circuit
some more-then some more.
But n day from a ''cat" house, in
Chicago or Kay See,
There came a whalin' booklet, most
wondrous I see.
1t had a million pictures, it told a
million tales,
And it had for sale most everything,
from nutmegs up to whales.
1t said the, retail merchant was a
robber in disguise,
And it proved that Ananias was no
longer prince of lies.
And Jones he read that volume and
reveled in the same.
He swallowed all it told him, and he
went against the game.
He sent the same round dollar for a
"skim milk" butter churn;
He got it, and he found it wasn't
worth a tinker's dern.
The carpet for the parlor, the "all-
WOOL suit for Bill
He found was three part shoddy
and the rest in good was nil.
And the swell Fall hat for Susie,
coughed in words sweet and clear
Was-breathe the whisper gently
of a vintage yester year.
And so the good round dollar, and
others Of the same
Went off the old home circuit
against the "cat" house game.
The butcher and the banker, the
tax collector too
The grocer and the miller and
others not a few,
No longer saw the dollar on its
debt removing way,
1t had joined the "cat" house pro
fits, it has gone and gone to STAY.
