'QUANT|CO BUILDING
PROGRAM IS URGED
Lejeune Asks Congress to
Replace Temporary War
Barracks at Base.

Need for prompt replacement of the
cheap, wartime barrack buildings at
the Marine Corps East Coast Expedi-
tionary Base at Quantico, Va. was
pointed out today in the annual report
of Maj. Gen. John \. Lejeune, com
mandant of the United States Marine
Corps. Preliminary steps have been
taken to provide legislation for the
construction of permanent buildings
there, he said. These buildings were
hurriedly erected at the outbreak of
the World War for emergency use
were of the cheapest type of construc-
ton and were designed for temporary
use only.
He points out that they have now
been in use approximately nine years
and have deteriorated to such an eX-
tent that they can no longer be main
tanned in a habitable condition. AL
though. he says, it is essential that
the replacement of these buildings
with permanent structures should be
expedited, in view of the necessity of
economy in appropriations and eX-
penditures. legislation was requested
tor an appropriation covering only one
group of barracks buildings, a guard.
house and prison. together with the
necessary power and heating plant,
distributing system, grading, streets,
sewers. etc, to serve these buildings
He points out also that the mante-
nance and upkeep of this post calls for
great amount of work by the mill
tary personnel, due to the very large
number of buildings of temporary
wartime construction which must be
used in the absence of permanent
buildings. This post, he says, is the
principal station of the Marine Corps
and its mission is to provide a trained
eXpeditionary force of Marines for
service with or separate from the fleet,
as the circumstances of the case may
require.
He reports the establishment of a
band school there to provide for re-
placements I'm the music organizations
of that post.
Summing up the activities of this
branch of the military service, Gen.
LeJeune says that the results obtain
ed by the corps during the year, in
spite of decreased personnel and linn
tied funds, have been highly salts
factory, and have been due in most
part to the unfailing ability of Ma
rines to maintain a high spirit even
when the means of producing the
most effective accomplishments are
constantly being diminished.

They did not meet Aunt Mehetabel

"She read state socialism to me"
said Trask.
Miss Kent laughed. "It's too bad.
But Aunt Mehetabel is very much in
terested in it. She thinks you haven't
given much thought to it."
She's utterly right"
"I don't know much about 1t my
self" she admitted. II read too many
novels, imagine. Won't you park
your chair here?"

respectfully behind it,
''You needn't wait, Keeler," said

The nurse looked doubtful and
glanced at the girl.

Keeler reached into. his pocket and
drew therefrom the chain and pad

"You needn't lock me up, either"
growled Trask. Miss Kent won't let
me run away.
Indeed, no.
"For an hour then, sir" murmured
Keller, dangling his manacles.

Keeler disappeared with a reluctant
step.
After an hour of conversation Trask
decided that Miss Kent was a very
lovely girl with an obsession. He was
willing to talk about the war-a little;
but even wounded heroes on foreign
fields are not worth all the thought OF
an American goddess. Sometimes the
idea fitted through his head that she
looked upon his sex, collectively and
individually, more as prospective
convalescent than anything else.
But she was quite charming, for all
| that undeniably pretty and often pro-
vocatively pensive.
For some time he had been con-
scious of the sound of music, quick,
pay tunes that seemed to float upward

 This section, providing for revenue of 1G,451. LOGO francs (about $1,- 211,7S5,0 ,0o0) now goes 10 the senate.
 Finance Minister Pcrot pointed out that the budget as voted is not balanced, there being a deficit of i,373, 000,0 900 francs, which the fi- nance committee of the chamber will immediately consider how to meet.
 The finance minister's taxation proposals including q business turn over tax and a civic poll tax repre- sent the government idea Of how to meet the deficit. Tie socialist group Of the chamber voted this morning not to accept the business turnover 1aX, and favored increasing the proposed poll tax.
