632 AirplaneS
For the Price of One Battleship

The Navy Department asks thirty million dollars of public
works funds with which to build 632 arplanes.
Half these planes needed to replace DID, outdated
aircraft of little or defense value.
The other half would be planes for the two aircraft
carriers and the cruisers authorized under
naval building program
We trust the President will grant the requested
these purposes.
One frstcass bateship would cost much ALL the
planes which the Navy Department demands
And that batleshp would be useless without the aid

was due to my blindness. They
all had Hearts of Gold, if I'd

So went around looking for
Hearts of Gold. Anyone who

I think now of the bores I've
listened to-the chronic whin-

them all. I accumulated people

Balance Withheld

Except for $6,OOO,OOO author
lied to prevent the Army arse
nails from closing down and
$6,000,000 for new construction
in Panama and Hawaii, the bal
ance due the Army has thus far
been withheld.
Various reasons for this mex
plicable delay have been offered.
It now appears that the delay
is due to a dim hope that when
the Geneva conference on
ornaments reconvenes next
month the world will witness a
miracle in an offer by the Eu.
ropean powers and Japan to
make drastic reductions in land
ornaments.
All the advices from Europe
and from the Far East are to
the effect that neither Japan
nor the European powers intend
to reduce their armaments in
the present parlous condition of
the world.
But even were a miracle to
happen at Geneva next month
in the form of a general con-
sent to reduce ornaments, the
reduction would not involve the
United States, which, as Gen
eral Pershing warned his coun.
trymen several years ago. is
already practically disarmed.

History Made There

Today there is no better place
to study changes in American
social customs that have taken
place in the last century. For
during that century social his
tory was made and recorded in
the great hotels, built around
spacious courts. At the be-
ginning of the last century there
were three large wooden hotels,
with wide corridors and broad
piazzas. There were Congress
Hall, with its famous Collonade,
shaded by vines; the United
States, destroyed by fire and
rebuilt, and the Pavilion, also
long since vanished and re-
placed by church. Union
Hall, now the Grand Union, was
being built.
There was no race course
then, but there were many pri-
vate road races on the heavy
sandy roads. with the early
American aristocratS drivin g
their own fast PAGERS and trot-
ters to high-wheel sulkies. Gam

Material Lacking

Except for some increase in
aircraft and in antiaircraft ar
tillery, our combat troops have
not yet been supplied with new
material so necessary to their
effectiveness.
Nearly Is years after the Great
War ended, our combat troops
remain armed and equipped as
they we're during the Great War.
Yet the smaller the strength Of
the combat forces we maintain,
the greater their effectiveness
should be.
In personnel our forces are
better than they have ever been
before. They are better trained
today than ever before, but
their effectiveness will con-
tinue to be crippled until mod
ern material supplants the obso-
lete material with which they
are now equipped.
During the last Is years ire
mendous advances have been
made in the mechanization and
motoriZation of industry. We
are living in a machine age, but
what is left of our Regular
Army is still living in an earlier
age.
Little has been done to mech
anize it, motorize it, or mod
ernize its arms and equipment.
This can be done now more
cheaply than it can ever be done
in years to come. Doing it will
provide for the common defense
and promote the general vel
fare.
Why delay doing it until the
world is told officially what it
already knows-that no miracle
of disarmament is going to be
performed at Geneva next
month?

Code Duello

There was much gossip and
filtration, and Congress Hall had
its place in social history with
it's proposal SOFAS" placed at
discreet intervals in shady cor
ners in the wide colonnade.
Sherry, mint juleps and brandy
cobblers were served at the bars
where men thronged and where
severe differences of opinion
were settled by the code duello-
pistols and coffee at sunrise.
Dancing was popular and
Johnson's negro band from Al
bany played oldtime jazz with
as much barbaric rhythm, likely
as we foot it today.
Open gambling came in with
John Morrissey, one-time cham
pion heavyweight and ex-mem-
ber of Congress, and it was

gambler the world has ever
known, with his magnificent
casino upon which he expended
$2,000,000, and where there was
always kept a bank roll Of
$1,000,000 in cash, half of it in
$1,000 bills and the rest in bills
of smaller denomination. 1t
seems incredible in these days
of machine gun banditry that
the place was never held up"
but there was never anything
even remotely resembling a
robbery at Dick Canfield's.
But the times changed. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome put Can
field out of business in New
York. He abandoned Saratoga
and perished subsequently of

of this cultured, suave gambler

game of solitaire which bears
his name.

First: "To provide for the

The Human Side of the News
Saratoga Races Recall Kaleidoscope Past
.By EdWin C.. Hill

They're off at Saratoga!
Thousands of voices rise in a
great roar. Thousands of eyes
are strained as a little group of
thoroughbreds flash along the
far side of the track. They're
rounding the corner. They are
coming down the back stretch.
The field stands are booming.
The grandstand is shouting Wild
words of encouragement and ap-
peal to horses and Jockeys. On
they come, one silken beauty
nosing steadily ahead, until in
one final effort of heart and
muscle it crosses the winning
line. And so, right up to La
Dor Day, the merry Whirl goes
on.
A fascinating place, this little
town of Saratoga Springs, for
more than half a century bat
tered by the attacks of count
less reformers. The object of
their attacks has ever been the
race horses and their attendant
gamblers. But although Sara
toga belongs to King Thorough
bred in the month of August, it
has a great deal more to offer
than the racetrack and the
roulette tables.
Saratoga really belongs to
the Age of Curls and Crino-
line. The place has aged grace
fully, and has modernized with
an obvious tingle of regret. A
whole phase of American his
tory has passed under its
spreading trees and along its
wide streets. And the rambling
surreys, with raveled fringes,
which still roam for hire along
those historic streets, fit neatly
into the quaint old picture ia
miliar to those who knew Sara
toga in it's golden days.

from that day on I dug my

To the worst pest of all, the
Phone Friends, I said-"I'm

busy" and thereupon hung up.

actly the same thing-giving
them the social equivalent of

called "the buns rush"

It did NOT.

see it go. For at last I had

Army Equipment Lags
Awaiting Miracle
BY James T. Williams, Jr.-

This is especially true of our
land force. 1t ranks about
seventeenth among the armies
of the world. 1t is far below
the strength authorized by the
national defense act.
But the great weakness of
our Regular Army at the pres
ent time is its obsolete material.
Since the Great War ended,
tremendous advances have been
made in the effectiveness of
all weapons, aviation, mechan-
ization and motorization.
Not only have there been
great mechanical improvements
in aircraft, but there also have
been new inventions in auto
matte rifles, long range and
rapid fire artillery. antiaircraft
artillery, and fast tanks.

Cork, was equally sure Of regaining
the post he lost year ago. The Dali

including seven in Dublin Saturday
night.
The first row yesterday occurred at

guards to use their clubs in dispers-

icusly cut by thrown stone but other
injuries were few.

and threatened to disarm them. The

This caused the disturbers to seek
