current plans to beautify the water

city of Washington.
1T would increase employment at
time when work Is so sorely needed.
1T would stimulate activity in the
building trades industry
1T is requested that this project be
assigned high priority
The present building has been de-
clared to be a serious fire hazard In
the Navy Yard, 1t also has been de-
clared a menace to the security of
the yard, as the building could be
easily broken into in case of q dis
turbance, and the rifles, which are a
necessary part Of the battalion equip
ment, would become accessible.
1t was added that the structure is
needed If the local battalion Is to
compare favorably with those in other
naval districts 1t was pointed out
| that the Naval Communications Re-
serve is rapidly expanding, and that
their quarters in the present building
are considerably cramped.
The local communications unit Is
one of the most important branches
of the Reserve 1t consists, for the
most part, of radio amateurs, and.
with a sending and receiving station
at the armory, they are drilled weekly
in handling naval traffic through the
air. However, with the line forces
in the armory, only a small cubby-
hole can be assigned to this impor-
tant branch. and they have to take
night when the other divisions are
not scheduled for drills. 1t is con-
Sidered important that all Of the
units drill at one time so that the
training and instruction can be Co
ordinated.

and their six-gallon Sombreros,

DRAMATIC TABLEAU
I don't suppose that a more
dramatic one-man tableau was
ever presented on any stage Of
public entertainment than that
of the old scout as he pulled his
great horse up to its hind legs,
lifted his white sombrero with
an imperial gesture and bowed
right and left as the spotlight
played upon his long white hair
and his silvery moustache and
goatee.
That was a great outfit, Bill
Cody's, back in the gay Ninettes
and the early part Of this cen
tury. The colonel's right-hand
man had been his friend for
years-Major John M. Burke.
It was Major Burke who invari-
ably reminded us reporters that
the annual assemblage Of In
dians and cowboys was not a
Wild West show but a great edu-
cational entertainment, and he
was right. No one conglomera'
ton of performers ever pre-
sented such a dramatic and
concise picture Of the old West.

reason whatever why ones life
should be ruined because ones
Ideals are shattered. Nor even
any good excuse for making a
fuss about it. There's nothing
divine about our Ideals. They
are Self-created standards, and,
like all other personal notions,
are no bigger or better than
the intelligence from which
they spring.
Take, for example, our Ideals
of marriage, or manhood, or
womanhood. They listen lovely
but when it comes to prac-
tical sense they may be, and
frequently are. completely cock
eyed. Even the wiSest of us
have but a crude conception Of
the Truth. Then how can the
average person, with his mar
row experience and limited in.
telligence, possibly know what
a perfect marriage, a perfect
man or woman should be?
Moreover, how can an Ideal
formed. say, at sixteen, poSsi'
bly, serve as a correct guide
through life? It can't. It's as
inadequate for solving mature
problems as ones baby teeth
would be for chewing a barbe-
cue.
Normal people expect to
change, discard and outgrow
their Ideals as they do all out
moded possessions. It's as ur1-
civilized to cling to the same
set of Ideals through life as it
would be to wear the same I'M
derShirt-and as disgusting to
those who have to do business
with you.
WOUNDED CONCEIT
Actually, it isn't ones soul
that suffers when an Ideal is
wrecked, but ones Conceit.
Nine-tenths of our Ideals are
simply pattycake pictures OF
THE WAY WE'D LIK E

won't admit. Instead, we save
our faces by making a Great
Tragedy Of it. Phooey!
Don't MAKE a fuss over your
shattered Ideal. Any Ideal
that can be broken by reality
isn't worth keeping. Grow a

All Americans who would like
to know more about the Ameri-
can system Of government will
be interested in the new and re-
vised edition which will appear
next month Of a most timely
and informing book.
This is the new edition Of
Congress, the Constitution and
the Supreme Court" by Charles
Warren, Of Massachusetts,, which
appeared about five years ago.
Mr.. Warren is the distinguished
author Of THE Supreme Court
in United States History" which
was awarded the Pulitzer Prize
for the best book Of 1922 on
American history. He was Presi.
dent Wilson's Assistant Attorney
General and is a lifelong Demo
crat of the Jeffersonian school.
In the forthcoming book from
Mr.. Warren's pen he brings UP
to date the Courts relation to
acts Of Congress, after clearly
setting forth the place which
the Supreme Court occupies in
the operation Of the Govern
ment.
EASILY UNDERSTOOD
Unlike so many books on the
Constitution, Mr.. Warren's book
Is written for laymen as well as
for lawyers, and his language
will be as easily understood by
the one as by the other.
At a time when alien Radicals
and their domestic tools and
dupes are flooding American
schools, colleges and universi-
ties with propaganda designed
to make young Americans pre-
fer Old World systems Of gov
ernment to the American sys-
tenn, Mr.. Warren presents the
authoritative account Of what
the Constitution meant to the
trainers and what it means to
the rights and liberties and fu-
ture happiness Of the American
people.
Two Of the most interesting
chapters in the forthcoming
volume give the record of the
Court upon questions affecting
labor and also it's record Of
cases in which the Court has
held acts of Congress unconsti-
tutional.
Alien Radicals in general and
English Radicals in particular
are attempting to mislead
American labor into the belief
that the Supreme Court is its
enemy.
The Great Tribunal has de-
cided only about 100 cases spe-
officially involving labor. Not
more than 20 were decided in q
wav that labor could regard ad-

COnfiscated Liquor

New Jersey State police have the good sense to protect the
"omachs their automobiles from Indigestion corroson and
other ailments" that spring from bootleg liquor.
Recently conscad alcohol set aside for use IN radiators
during the winter months tested was found to be so
foul arrangements made to red it, to take out the

radiators.
If this stuff had not been confscated it likely would have
been consumed by those who drink but not sufficiently
cautious to buy dependable, legal liquor.
Possibly the repeal bootleggers would be banished men
took as much care of their somach troopers do OF their
mechanical equipment.
