 T would take away admirals and officers from Washington and place them in active service on some of the ships that are tied up in the navy yards. Our great trouble with surplus officers in Washington is that each have stenographers who help them turn out so much detail for active officers that there is very little left for the initiative of the men in charge"
 Admiral Magruder said he was trying to "square' himself and pre- sent his views merely as personal opinions and the opinions of a naval officer with more than 40 years ex- perience in the navy"

depicts "a series of historical cpl
sodes which have Influenced the
history of the United States, will
be presented at Willmar August 2
and 8, under auspices of the
American Legion post and the
auxiliary of that city.
The pageant cast includes about
$50 characters chosen from this
section of the state. The pageant
unfolds the history from the days
of Christopher Columbus when he
appeared before the Court of Spain
to seek aid in his voyage to the
then unknown America.
From those early days the aud
fence then is carried down to the
days when the Esprit of rs" pre-

into revolution against English
rule.
The development of the United
States then is shown and the days
when the states were split asund-
er by civil strife is again brought
forth in all its historic details.
Many of the scenes will be por-
trayed through the ballet in which
hundreds of characters will take
part. One of the beauty spots of
the pageant those in charge said,
is the Fertility Ballet" which

The One Light Danger

The law requires every motor
vehicle using the highways at night
to have lighted headlights from
one half hour after sunset to one
half hour before sunrise and at
any other time when there is not
enough light so person can be
seen 200 feet away.
Motor cycles, road rollers, road
machines or farm tractors may
have one or two but ordinary pas
senger cars must have "two head
lamps, no more no less, at the
front and at opposite sides OF the
motor vehicle.
Auxiliary lights are permitted,
with certain limitations, but the
requirement that trucks and
pleasure cars have two lighted
headlamps at night is definite and
specific.
Many counties and municipali-
ties are enforcing this rule rigidly,
still there are scores of cars on
the road at night with only one
light.
The rule requiring two lighted
headlamps at night is one that it
is dangerous to violate, even If
there is no traffic officer with a
hundred miles. Failure to OBJ
serve this rule has led to many
serious accidents. Garry spare
bulb, or get a new one at the
first corner.
