WILBUR PRESENTS
NAVAL PROGRAM
Congress Receives Plan Call
ing for Ultimate Cost
of 500, 900, 900.
Rx ana Associaied press

BY the Associated Press.
A naval building program ultimately
to cost more than $700,000,000 and
represented as being in harmony with
the Presidents financial plans was
transmitted to Congress today by Sec
retary Wilbur.
Secretary Wilbur. In letter to
Speaker Longworth. said that he had
been advised yesterday by the director
of the budget that the proposed legis-
lation is not In conflict with the finan n
ciaI program of the President"
The Secretary in his letter did not
specify any time in which construction
of the proposed ships could be com.
pleted.
AS the program develops the char
acteristics of the vessels to be con-
structed will be changed to meet mod.
ern conditions.
1t Is impossible to accurately esti-
mate the labor and material costs
several years In advance.
The program would call for con.
struction of 25 light cruisers, 8 de-
stroyer leaders, 81 submarines and
aircraft carriers,
The costs are estimated now as:
Light cruiser. $17.000.000 (each); de-
stroyer leader. $5,0O0.00O (each); sub.
marine, $5,000.00 (each); aircraft car
rier. s19 200. 900 (each).
The total cost of the II vessels
under the above figures would approx.
innate $725, ,000,00
The President would be given
authority to suspend construction, in
his discretion, in the event of an in
| FA.,
of naval armaments.
The President conferred at length
today with Brig. Gen. Lord, director of
the budget. The latter had with him
the program as prepared by the Navy
Department and it is understood that
during this conference. he and the
President worked out the matter OF
cost and the period over which the
program should be carried.

David White, of the United
States Geological Survey, has in
recent years been studying with
particular attention the remains of
plants as well as those Of animals
found in the Grand Canyon walls.
The plants were originally depos-
tied, he says, on a FLOOD plain of
red sand" at the bottoms of ponds
and streams. which appeared in
rainy seasons and disappeared in
dry seasons. They were pressed
between thin layers of sand de-
posted one after another by the
water, and then came long ages
Of gradual hardening into strata of
sandstone. Fragments and i'm
pressions of leaves and stems re.
main in beautiful preservation.
In other studies OF fossil plants
DR.. White has traced the story of
ancient climates, showing how in
the Ordovician and Silurian periods
when land plants were relatively
scarce, sunny weather prevailed
over warm, shallow seas"
In the Dcvonian period land
plants had become abundant and
great swamps existed, developing
beds Of peat. At this time the
plants showed no annual growth
rings, an indication that then the
climate was but slightly variable
throughout the year.
In the Coal Age, also, the cli-
mate seems to have been even and
warm as far north as the Arctic
regions. But at the end of the
Coal Age colder weather came on,
and gradually the temperature
sank until there was a glacial Pc
Rod. The present age, according
to DR.. Whites opinion, is abnor-
NAL, being characterized by great
climatic range and variability,
whereas the normal state is rela.
tive equability and mildness of eli
mate, such as prevailed in some
of the earlier periods of the earth.
So human restlessness seems in
accord with the state of tho planet
on which humanity is confined.

QUESTIONS OF
ETIQUETTE
l.By Cornelius Beeckman.
General Helps

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN;
~ Will you kindly straighten
out these few difficulties for me?
1. How should one eat pickles
that are served cut m quarters?
When they are of the small sweet
pickles how should they be eaten?
2. When at a rather large din
ner should one begin to Eat i'm.
mediately after being served or
would it be better to wait until
everyone is served?
3. When a boy takes a girl out
shouldn't he select the place to
dine or should he ask her where
she would like to go?
4. Do you approve of my letter
paper? A READER.
7 IF pickles are served so that
L, they may he put on your
plate, for instance, in the dinner
course, or at supper, you should
eat them with your fork, or, If it is
necessary to cut them, with your
knife and fork. But sometimes, as
for instance, when they are served
as relishes, it is necessary to eat
them in ones fingers. But, as with
all other kinds of food, it is much
better not to eat them in our
fingers If we can avoid it.
2. think theoretically we should
not begin to eat until everyone at
the dinner table is served. but at
a rather large dinner this is not
practicable, and we must find a
middle course, between waiting,
until all the other guests are
served, and starting to eat directly
after we are served. In Other
words, make it point to wait un.
til a few guests near you are
served.
3. like the ''masterful" host,
who is such an accustomed host
that he knows where he wants to
dine. Would you like to dine
at--?" is to me far pleasanter
than the very indefinite Where
would you like to dine tonight?"
AS a matter Of fact, the last
question is not too easy for n girl
to answer, since the man puts up
to her the decision as to what
kind of place they are to go to,
and it is difficult for her to steer
q clear path between choosing of
a place that honors his hospital
ity, and still does not put too
great strain on his wallet.
4. Not particularly. / am not
very fond of the long one-sheet
letter paper. 1t always looks so
business-like to me-not a bit So
cial.
If you have a supply Of this
paper on hand you might fold il
