"HE Roosevelt administration is
national defense minded as
few of its predecessors have
II been, for, witness its eXpan-
sion of the Army by $4,000 men and
its construction of 66 new warships,
the greatest number in peace time,
since the Stars and Stripes came into
being. In the air, too, the New Deal
is pushing the winged fighters for
ward, getting newer and faster types
for the armed forces.
Not alone will the Army be the
largest ever for peacetime, but the
Navy is now engaged in recruiting
1900 additional enlisted men. This
will bring up the strength OF the
Navy to 93,500--tfe highest perma-
nent standing force in time of peace,
There are now 82.500 bluejackets,
afloat and ashore. The World War
peak for the Navy was around 600.-
600.
The national defense is as familiar
to the Commander in Chief and his
Gecretariat as the grounds OF the
White House itself. The President
was Assistant Secretary of the Navy
from 1918 to 1920, before and during
the World War;. Mr.. Roosevelt want
ed to get into the Navy himself as
an .oficer and be assigned to the big
railway guns the Navy operated on
the western front in France, but his
chief, woodrow Wilson, considered
that he was more valuable as the
right-hand man of Secretary Josephus
Daniels. .-.
Louis McHenry Howe, the Presi-
dents secretary and confidante for
many years, knows the Navy from
Alpha to Omega, for he has been
with Mr.. Roosevelt since the days
when the Chief Executive was As
sistant Secretary of the Navy and
can call the admirals by their first
names. Marvin H. Mcintyre, another
of the Presidents secretaries, is well
versed in service matters, for not only
was he the head of the Nays press
information at its inception. but for
nnany years he wrote for the Army
a Navy Journal Likewise, he was
associated with Pathe News, arrang-
ang for covering" many service

Given the cast sheet, ana told tnat
all the main characters were present,
the local "cricks" scratched their
heads, collected their thoughts and
scrubbed furiously the winner" on
the piece OF paper handed them by
Dan (Warner Bros) Terrell, debo-
nair press representative and creator
of this unusual idea.
When they had indicated the vii
lain Of the piece the lights went out
again, the picture went on and Mr..
Terrell sat back and looked very, very
pleased over his little game.
It turned out that the "cricks"
guessed half right-that Is, half OF
them guessed wrong. Every one IN the
picture who seemed not to have any
thing to do with the murders was
given a vote-even the maid (horrid
child, who wasn't even on the cast
sheet.
Reviewers, as well as the public,
evidently believe that the way to solve
q mystery picture is to guess the per-
son who seems least likely to have
done the deed. Ever since 1.-THE Bat, "
or maybe before, most buffers have
gotten it in the neck. When, how
ever, they walk around today passing
plates and looking very sour, indeed,
the chances are one to thousand
that they didn't do the thing at all.
Likewise the obvious villain, who ap-
pears with starched neck, a couple of
green eyes and a greedy expression
whenever the heroine pops up on deck.
Yesterday the butler was overlooked
(probably because there wasn't one)
the maid with no tooth in the front
of her mouth was given one vote be-
cause she had a scene in which she
carried around mouse trap, and the
person who had appeared only very
frugally was voted the villain.
Now why couldn't the Earle give It's
customers chance to solve the
murder there this week, too? Turn of
the picture, turn on the lights and
give patrons an opportunity to TURF
on their brains.
AL you have to do-Brother Earle
Is to stop the picture just before the
finish, get Dannie Terrell or hand.
some Audrey Seiber to appear on the
stage to explain what it's all about
and toss around cast sheets and
pencils.
The audience doesn't have to chalk
up its vote, but it would be interesting
to see just how many make the grade
Also it would be a fine way to start
wars in the family. Imagine If
