According to Capt. Puleston of the

their enjoyment of good, clean

'Of course the men in the Navy are

Puleston said today. They like girls

there is no need for showing them
all the dirt that seems to creep into
some of the films nowadays-you know
what | mean. the plays that show the
honeymoonerS in their hotel room, in
stead of on the train, at sea on under
other romantic conditions.
LAS a matter of fact, the boys in
the Navy prefer the virile Western
type of film to the mushy sort. That

All Metal Craft.

velopment Corporation of Detroit has
asked to build for the Navy for $780,

lished proceedings of the House ap-
preparations committee in framing the

The Navy has not yet awarded the
contract to the company, in which
Henry Ford is interested, although II
is studying the proposition.
AS explained by Carl b. trltsche,
general manager. and other officers OF
the Detroit company. the ship would
be $50 feet long and 90 feet thick, car
rying engines of 400 horsepower. with
q speed of 70 miles an hour. Dura-
lumin would be used instead of fabric
TO cover the entire ship.
The craft would be shorter and flat
TER proportionately than the Shenan-
