It is fortunate for the armed
forces of the United States that
they have in the Presidency to-
day a Commander-in-Chief who
can not be fooled by the mill
tary and naval propagandists
of foreign powers.
In building up the national
defense, President Roosevelt is
demonstrating his preference
for the advice and counsel OF
American authorities to that Of
alien propagandiStS.
It is no less fortunate for the
President that the military and
naval authorities are united to-
day upon a national defense
program. Under the leadership
of General Macarthur as Chief
of Staff and Admiral STANDBY
as Chief of Operations, all arms
of both services are in agree
ment as to what ought to be
done to give this country effec-
tive defense at minimum cost.

Hope Diamond

The Kohinoor, now weighing
1O6 carats and set in the
crown of King George, was once
owned by Nadir Shah, the
Persian conqueror, then passed
into the hands of the East
India Company which gave it
to Queen Victoria.
The Regent or Pitt Diamond
is a magnificent stone found
in India or Borneo. It was
bought by the Duke of Orleans,
Regent of France, was stolen
during the Revolution, but was
recovered and is still in France.
The Nizam, weighing PIT carats,
is owned by the Nizam Of
Hyderabad, the richest man in
the world.
The Sancy, was successfully
the property of Charles the
Bold of Burgundy, of De Sancy,
Queen Elizabeth. Henrietta
Maria, Cardinal Mazarin and
Louis the Fourteenth. and since
then of the king of Spain, a
Russian prince and an Indian
Rajah.
The Hope Diamond, owned
by Mrs. Evelyn Walsh Nc
Lean, of washington, and about
which so many traditions of bad
luck are associated, is probably
the most famous of all colored
diamonds. It is a beautiful
blue and weighs more than
a. caratS.

President Building Navy
Meeting Our Own Needs
Blu James T. Williams, Jr.

But Germany's neighbors are
not deceived by this propa-
ganda, They know that Ger
many built the Deutschland not
from choice but because she
was forced by the Versailles
Treaty to be content with ships
of 10000 tons to replace her
over-age capital ships.
And American naval author
tiles share with the President
the knowledge tn at the
Deutschland sis not a product
of the normal evolution OF
naval ships" but only IAN ex-
pedient mothered by necessity"
It did not take American
authorities long to find out that
Germany's so-called pocket bat
tleship, instead Of revolution
izing naval building, appears to
be a repetition of the armored
cruiser type which the Amer"
can Navy started more than
quarter of a century ago.
The answer of the French
navy to the Deutschland was
the new Dunkerque, laid down
in December, 1882. Under the
Washington Treaty, only France
and Italy of the larger naval
powers are permitted to build
any ships with guns exceeding
eight inch in caliber prior to
December 81, 1886. The Dun
kerque, a battle cruiser of 26,-
900 tons. is a stronger offensive
and defensive ship than the
Deutschland and has much
more speed.

United Program

The spirit of unity which the
general and admiral are foster.
ing in their respective COM
mands enables Secretary Dern
and Secretary Swanson to pre-
sent to the President and to
Congress a joint program rep
resenting the best judgment of
our ablest authorities on ma
tional defense.
It would be well if some Sena-
tors and representatives in Con-
gresS would profit by the eX-
ample of President Roosevelt
instead of swallowing with such
avidity the propaganda of alien
agents working for alien pur-
poses.
An example of alien propa-
ganda which has failed to fool
the Man in the White House"
is that put out by Germany in
regard to the so-called pocket
battleship."
AS a matter of fact, this title
is a misnomer. This latest
creation of Germany's naval
architects is not a battleShip
but a lightly armored cruiser
which the Germans call Fan
zerschiff," that is, "armoied
ship"
The origin of this type is to
be found in the provisions Of
the Versailles Treaty which
limit German warships to TO-
900 tons, without any restric-
ton on the caliber of guns
these ships may carry.
In order to make the best OF
the limitation imposed by the
Versailles Treaty, Germany is
broadcasting enthusiastic de-
scriptions of this type of ship,
which is alleged to be the most
economical, efficient, effective
and best suited type to meet
the actual tests of all condi-
tons.

The private life of the oyster
has never sufficiently engaged
the attention of scholars and
philosophers. Yet the oyster is
an interesting ceature, we'll
worth the study of the discern
ing. AS prohibition disappears,
oysters grow more popular, for
they are the natural food that
goes with beer and ale. From
Japan comes the news that the
curious industry called pearl
planting is the largest in years.
For many centuries men have
industriously combed the oyster
beds of the Persian Gulf, of
CeyIon and of the South Seas
for pearls-bearing oysters.

an argument to Pa, either. She
thought everything he did was
jake. His word was law. Just
like that lovely old song.
"Oh. do you remember sweet
Alice, Ben Bolt;
Sweet Alice, with eyes so
brown?
She wept with delight if you
gave her a smile,
And trembled with tears at
your frown!"
So you're "fed up with mar
riage." And eff you'd known
it was going to be like this,
you'd sure never have gone into
it," And what do I think?
I THINK YOU HAVE THE
HELLUVA NERVE-YOU AND
SEVERAL MILLION MORE
MODERN YOUNG MEN.
Why should a man be ex.
pected to do a woman's work?
Why SHOULDN'T he be ex.
pected to do a woman'S work,
if he lets a woman do a mans
work?
Why can't you have all these
little attentions which Ma gave
Pa? Because you're getting a
lot of little attentions-and
important cash service-which
Pa never dreamed Of getting
from Ma.
And the woman who gives
you those services is a Real
Two-Fisted Person. She has to
be, or she could never hold her
own in this modern world.
She's a hard hitter, a quick
thinker-and she needs a
healthy amount of fun and
freedom to keep her fit.
Evenings over the darning
basket; Sundays over the
kitchen stove? Did you men
ton that alluring prospect
when you married her, AL?
I'll say you didn't! You made
your sale by representing your
self as a Regular Gypsy Lover.
THEN ACT LIKE ONE
NOW!
No modern girl is going to
do a Sweet Alice for you, AL.
Why should she? A working
life has wised her up to the
precise value of the smiles and
frowns of all males. And yet,
she can love her own man as
greatly as any woman ever
loved.
You have, taking her by and
large, the finest creature for a
mate which the human race
has yet developed. You may
know together man-and-wife
comradeship, a community in
work and adventure, which the
race has never experienced be-
fore. Follow her clicking heels,
profit by her cool little head,
and she'll make a man of you,
my son.
TAKES?
THEN PROVE 1T.
Yours-but waiting to be
shown ELSIE.

his mercy. The man who
makes a scene in a restaurant
will keep his wife's face red,

Never marry a man until

beware! His wife will have a

MENJOU WILL

HOLLYWOOD, July 81. U.Rg =
The debonair~ Adolphe Menjou,
screen star, said today he was will
ing for his wife, Kathryn Carver,
also of the films, to have a divorce
but he insisted that he was ready
to fight against certain particulars
of the suit she filed yesterday.
The actor said he would resist
the accusation that he once enter
tanned Miss Isabel Georgia in New
York hotel room and apartment.
He also intended, he said, to battle
against Miss Carver's attempt to
claim community property.
Menjou said he had legal agree
ment with his wife, drawn at the
time of an earlier separation, in
which she waived right to COM
munity property after receiving a
settlement from him.
Miss Carvers divorce action
charged Menjou with frequent in
toxication, with having threatened
her life on two occasions, and with
having associated with Miss Geor-
gia in such a manner as to cause
public scandal and gossip.
The Menjous were married in
Paris in 1928.

A percentage basis was used in
