Mrs. Walker Again Defends Course.
Mrs. William Sherman Walker again
defended her course in appearing be-
fore the House naval affairs committee
in support OF a larger Navy in an adj
dress last night on National Defense, .
She reiterated her contention that the
society favors an adequate national de-
Tense program
"Internaiionalism is out 10 get the
children" Mrs. Walker declared, in de-
nouncing various movements among the
youth OF America 10 discredit the flag
and love OF country and to eliminate
patriotic programs from the Boy and
Girl Scout activities.
Mrs. Walker also ridiculed COM
panionate marriage as opposed TO the
ideals Of Americanism and "the perpet-
uation Of the American home and con-
tented family life" She remarked that
only few weeks ago in this very hall
an advocate Of companionate marriage
and its accompanying evils was greeted
with thunderous applause" Apparently
she referred TO a debate held in the
Auditorium between Judge Ben Lind

opposed to it.
Deplores Efforts of Atheists.
There have been prophecies that
marriage must inevitably disappear
Mrs. Walker stated such predictions
wound the sensibilities of America. -
How could we condone such moral
let-up? But even now the spirit Of
atheism declares that marriage is COM
ing to be considered what 1t ought to
be--a civil contract terminable at the
option of the parties

Cites Debates In Record.
Believing in Americanism she con-
tinued. II was glad of the privilege of
appearing before the House naval affairs
committee on February II. Due to the
pressure brought to bear by pacifists the
naval affairs committee has been stirred
over this opposition to the upbuilding OF
the Navy. The Congressional Record
covering dates March 1920 furnishes
full statements of the debate offered on
the floor of the House. Strong agita-
ton and wide publicity dated from the
time of my appearance before the naval
affairs committee.
The unanimous vote of the Thirty
sixth Continental Congress in favor of
the 5-5-3 ratio as agreed upon at the
Washington conference obligated the
national defense chairman to appear
before the naval affairs committee at
its request, and state the stand of the
soicety on the Navy program.
Anything short of prompt response
when asked to appear before the COM
mittee would have branded the national
defense chairman a Stacker"

Bridge Workers Drowned When

SAVANNAH, Tenn, April 20.-Seven
employees of a contracting company of
Birmingham, Ala, including B. M.
Sloap, superintendent of construction,
engaged in building highway bridge
across the Tennessee River here, were
drowned late yesterday when a small
boat in which they had set out across
the river was submerged by waves.
Two hundred men and all the motor
and rowboats available were dragging
the river last night.
Besides Sloap the dead are: Frank
Paulk, engineer, Savannah: Ellis Scull
carpenter, from Indiana, and four ne
groeS from Selmer. Tenn. The names
of the negroes were not available.
All we're drowned about so feet of
shore when waves, whipped by strong
northwest wind, swamped the boat. One
Of the party, a negro. who held to the
rear of the boat as 1t went under, was
picked up by Bob Quinn, ferryman who
pushed out to the scene in another boat
as he heard the cry for help.

lutions committee this morning Mrs,
Bailie said:
I'VE are all loyal to our country our
Constitution and our flag. There is no
element within our society that opposes
ADEQUATE national defense. On the con-
trarv. the general idea of national de-
fense is heartily applauded by us sill.
What has deeply offended this commit
tee of protest is the nl-adviSed method
used in behalf of national defense. We
deprecate interference as a society in
national politics. To safeguard our IN
herent right to our individual opinions
We request that, il our national board
see At to place us as society on rec
ord in very serious matters OF natur-
ally controversial aspect. they discover
the reaction of the membership to such
matters through referendum in the
several chapters. The principles OF
American democracy are thus safe
guarded by the honest majority voice.
Resent Outside DictatiOn.
"In the resolutions we also express
our desire to form our own opinion
about matters of general interest. We
have no quarrel with the desire of our
leaders to provide us with appropriate
speakers. We take sharp issue with any
attempt to advise us as to whom We
should not hear And We particularly
and profoundly resent the dictation Of
individuals and organizations without
our society in the choice Of speakers be-
fore our chapters"
Mrs. Roy stated to the committee
that another consideration with re-
gard to this resolution lies in the fact
that. while lists of undesirable speakers
may be compiled for perfectly legitimate
reasons and may be used by the ma
tional board In nothing but legitimate
ways, they are often misused In the
several communities. They have been
used by individual members OF the D.
A. r., who claim to speak for our So
ctety, In attempts TO prevent the listed
speakers from appearing before other
organizations with which our society
has no direct af1liation at all On enc
occasion the D. A. r. caused the resig-
nation OF two secretaries OF the Y w.
G. A. because they insisted upon lnyit-
ing person prescribed by the d. A. r.
TO speak before the Y w. c. A."

Bill CarIigan, smart Red SoX

once had, but he's making the
most of his opportunities.
good old Bill admitted it was quite

had Ruth, Pennock. Bedient,
Speaker, Wood and other stars in
the good old days.
Old Bill didn't worry. He said
he had lots to learn about his club
and his players had lots to learn.
but there vas plenty OF time TO
learn it. And as for the other
clubs-well, the Red SoX would
win all the games it could, but that
might not be many.

ONE expect many
- strange and unexplain-
able things to happen dur
ing the baseball season, but
credit the Boston Red Sox
with one of the big upsets
of the year-their being in
the first division after the
initial east-west series.
When the western teams jour
neyed east for battle early in May
the Red Sox were in seventh .po-
sition, which seemed, even as low
as it is, out of position for the
Sox. They belonged a peg lower
But after the dust of battle had
cleared away the Red Sox were in
the first division and were on a
winning streak of six straight
games. Incidentally, this winning
streak went on to seven games in
a row before the Yankees smashed
it.
No matter what happens the rest
of the year, You must admit the
Red Sox proved the fireworks of
the league during the month of
May.
OF COURSE, there is only one
reason for this outburst of sue
cess on the part of the Boston club.
You guessed it-Bill Carrigan.
I When Carrigan returned to base
ball last season to manage the club
he once led to world champion
ships, the boys felt sorry for good
old Bill and regretted very much
that he had TO spend his time with
such q sorry bunch OF mis1ts. And

Claim Cats Ate Giant
Trout and Gargled Brine

DENTON Gordon Thompson
has been placed at the head of
the class as a fish story teller.
According to Mr.. Thompson, he
and Jimmy Ramsey brought back
from Wolf Creek one of the larg-
est trout ever seen in this section.
They returned late at night and
did not take time to weigh the
fish but placed it in salt water in
an ordinary dishpan and it was so
large that the tail hung over the
side. The story teller continues
that during the night some cats
found the fish and ate it-finish-
ing the feed by drinking the brine.
