The Value of
Strength of
Purpose
By Lucy Lowell

TyHE race IL not always to the
l. swift nor the battle to the
strong. Consider this some
times when you feel yourself fac

mountable handicaps.
In an old. old book you read the
story Of one who went out against
terrific odds; one who pitted cour-
age against numbers and faith
against physical strength. And
won gloriously.
1t is the story of Gideon the
Warrior, recorded in the sixth and
seventh chapters of the book of
Judges.
Because of certain qualities Of
activity and faithfulness, Gideon
was called upon to save his peo-
pie from their enemies the Midia-
mites. There were few Of the
lsraelites, and their morale was
low, for the enemy was strong and
ruthless. and the record shows
Gideon giving way to fear at vari.
Gus moments, though this did not
prevent him proceeding step by
step as best he could.
Some vision of the value Of
the high heart was revealed to
him, for even with his army, AZ
small and weak as 1t was, Gideon
commanded all those who doubted
to turn back. This he lost over
10000 soldiers, and this left him
but half that number.
Even then he was not satisfied,
but was inspired to put his men
to a further test of intelligence
and alertness. Moving them to
the waters edge, he babe them
drink and those who bowed
down were returned. Something
like 800 Tapped water from their
hands, and with this little com.
pany Gideon proceeded against
the mighty armies of INDIAN.
Such courageous wisdom could
not fail of its mark. The VIC
tory Of Gideon went down In
history as one Of the greatest Of
all time, everything considered
an inspiration to all who 20 out

Strength of purpose is greater
than strength of numbers, ana a
proud standard prevails over q
proud boast.

NAVAL CRUISER
BILL IS SIGNED
BY PRESIDENT T
Coolidge Affixes Name
To Document Boosting
Size of Navy.
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Presi
dent Coolidge signed the cruiser bill
today authorizing construction of 10
cruisers and one modern airplane
carrier for the navy.
His signature to the legislation
ended controversy of more than
q year on whether the United States
needed additional fighting craft for
its national defense
The President was alone in his
office when he affixed his sigma
ture, 20 minutes after conclusion of
a conference with leaders of the
house and senate on ways and means
to provide the $4,000 900 needed
for the building program in this and
the next fiscal year.
The President is understood to
have stated emphatically that leaiS-
lative appropriations for the next
fiscal year, ending June 30, 1890,
would have to be held down rigidly
if the cruiser fund were to be pro
vided under the present budget.
After the conference it was indi-
Gated that all the party leaders had
shown a willingness to cooperate to
this end.
Funds for starting work on six
of the ships-fivc cruisers and the
aircraft carrier will be appropriate
ed probably before congress ad-
iorns March /. Backers of the
program in congress either will in
sert an amendment to the pending
navy appropriation bill for about
$l2,50o,000 or appropriate the money
by the second deficiency act
The - cruisers will cost $l7,000,-
00o each and the airplanc carrier
Sl9,00o,0 900. The entire construc-
tion program will total about $275,-
0O0, 900. An additional several
hundred thousand dollars will be al
located to navy yards for improve
ments of shipways and equipment of
the United States naval gun factory
for the expansion work.
The authorization requires that
kcels of five of the cruisers be laid
before June 30, 1929; work on five
other cruisers and the plane carrier
must start prior to June 80, 1880
and construction of the remaining
five ships must start before June
20. 1881.
