BLAME LACK OF
FUNDS FOR LESS
NAVY EFFICIENCY

WASHINGTON. Jan. Il. = The
United States navy is annually be-
coming less efficient through lack
of funds to provide necessary re-
placements, Rear Admiral j. X.
Robson, chief of the bureau of
naval engineering, told Secretary of
the Navy Wilbur in his annual re-
port.
1T is necessary that replace
mcnts in the form of new construc-
tiOns should be provided at a rate
IN excess of $75,000,00O annually" "
Robson stated. This amount
greatly exceeds the amount being
spent in new construction in our
navy. The navy, as far as mater
ials are concerned, is less efficient
each year than it was at the begin
ming of the year.
" Reduced funds do not permit
meeting the annual deterioration
which takes place in all forms of
machinery. Cncompleted repairs
constantly accumulate. Replace
ments of obsolete materials, includ-
ing ships, is an essential to the main
tenance of fit and ready navy"
Despite the fact that the bureau
was seriously retarded in its work
with the reduced appropriations,
Robson pointed out that very ma.
terial progress was made during the
year with the institution of new
operation and engineering methods.

SACRAMENTO Calf. Jan. IA
There are now more than 900 Ii
ccnsed chiropractors in California,
according to the annual report of
the state board of chiropractic cx
aminers for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1925.
The board issued S94 license Ger
tificates during the fiscal year, A
previous board had granted 252,
making a total of TAG.
The board announces that in the
interest of public welfare il will
probe any chiropractic institutions
in the state which appear to be
diploma mills.
IT the courts hold that the chi
ropractlc act does not delegate such
powers to the board. then it will be
necessary, in the future, to more
thoroughly investigate each appli-
cant for l,censure, the report says.
Public protection demands that
every precaution be exercised that
only those chiropractors who are
adequately trained shall be licensed

OF BAY
CITY TO GIVE WAY
TO SKYSCRAPER

"a y ha W l'NIo Jan. 1n'-- ~
onward march of progress soon will
claim another historic landmark of
San Francisco, for, within three
months, the Parrot building at
Montgomery and California streets,
will give way to a skyscrapper, one
that will cost two million dollars.
Traditions of Is years are woven
N the Parrot building, erected in
1911 by Chinese labors who were
paid ST per day and board, and a
lay was from sun-up until ndown.
But the quaint three story build
ing even though it took months to
erect it, has been deemed too small
to be consistent with land value in
the neighborhood
The building is a veteran of the
six great fires of the fifties and
sixties, and withstood the disaster
of 1906, when its stone walls stood,
although the interior was Quilted by
clames.
These stone blocks, with which
the walls were built, were imported
Dv Chinese builders from the Ori-
mt, being brought here by vessels
OF the American clipper fleet.
Throughout the years the building
has stood as a reminder of the ser
vice rendered to San Francisco by
John Parrott, one of the state 5 ear
ly settlers, and founder of a for
tune still i'll the hands of the fam.
Ily.
Old timers regret the passing of
one of the few remaining relics OF
the city that was" but progress
KNOWS no sentiment, and in modern
cities skyscrappers are more impor-
tant than buildings with past.

What II Must Become

TNHEN there are the innumerable or

multifarious activities, women's trade
union auxiliaries, women's apixiliaries
of fraternal societies, women's trade
union leagues, women's consumers
clubs, mothers clubs, teacher and par

There are also the 100000 public

composed in a large part of women.
To the Negroes and their problems
The DAILY WORKER gives special
attention.
ITO all these groups and strata The
l. DAILY WORKER must make a
special appeal. Reading The DAILY
WORKER, they must be able to find
in its columns something they will
recognize as dealing concretely with
their specific problems, or at least dis
playing an intelligent interest in them.
Particularly in the United States,
where the class lines are not as clearly
drawn as in other countries, must the
official organ of our party devote at
tention to and be able to interest the
most militant of these various strata
in our program and it's application to
American problems.
OPECIAL departments in our Of

deal with the specific problem of the
most important groups mentioned
above and the best equipped comrades
for this special work must be at the
service of The DAILY WORKER.

lect no avenue of approach to the

done this we have failed to make of
our official organ mass organ Which

fTNHE DAILY WORKER, if it is to be
= a real mass organ, must carry ma
terial suited to the needs of the va
rious strata of the population.
It is known to every member of
our party that the formal division of
modern society into capitalists and
workers does not accurately describe
Its complex divisions, but in most of
our DAILY WORKER material we I'M
consciously subscribe to this in prac-
tice.
Even in the labor movement itself
there are a number Of sections whose
political development varies.
THE needle trades. unions, for in
4 stance, are far more advanced in
their knowledge of the class struggle
and-ssetter trained in political think
han most other trade union
-. IS.
The unskilled and unorganized
worker has a far different outlook on
life than the skilled worker who be-
longs to a trade union and who has
learned to depend upon collective
rather than individual action against
the boss.
The farmer has an entirely different
approach to economic and political
problems than the wage worker, and
the farmer who works for wages at
times has a still different viewpoint
than either of the other two.
THE lower section of the middle
4 class contains elements which The
DAILY WORKER must reach and at
times there are movements taking
place among them (anti-militarist, pro-
evolution theory, resentment against
Increased taxation, etc. that are of
great significance.
In addition to trade unions there are
co-operatives, fraternal societies, So
cial clubs, athletic associations, many
Of which are composed of workers ex-
clusively or have a large percentage
