Airplanes and motor cars have
failed to restrain the lure Of the
sea in the breast of American
youth. judging by recent letters
received by Secretary of the
Navy Adams from youthful would
be mariners who are willing to
relieve the Navy of the cost OF
destroying old battle ships.
Their plans are beautifully
simple. With one accord they
are willing to accept some fairly
serviceable" destroyer or cruiser
as a gift or even pay a small
charge.
Don't Blow Them Up
Donald Duesler, Ia, Of Pasa-
dena, Calf. in his letter, offers
some cogent reasons why the
Navy should give him a cruiser.
To quote Donald:

that obsolete boats are sold only

solemnly, to put him on the mail

Pats Navy ON Back
But little Aubrey Barry, 10, of
Pensacola, Fla, was modest in
his wants. In a classic epistle,
he made his bid for old pontoons.
He maintains they would go like
the wind if you had a good

He realized that a pat or two
on the back might further his
cause. and closed his letter with
the encouraging observation:

One Of the big problems in major
league baseball is found IL the
"misfit' players-men who don't do
well with one team or have no real
place on IL but who often become
great playsrs when sent to n
other club.
Two Brooklyn castoffs, Harvey
Hendrick and Jake Flowers, who
were merely good but not partic-
ularly useful utility players with
the Robins. have attracted a wide
attention this season by their per-
formanceS since being traded.
