WITH the full approval of the adj
w ministration, the army and navy
are to receive $40,O00.000 TO carry out
a program of national defense which
will consist mainly of improved strong
holds on the west coast and in the Pa
cific. The money, which will be shared
equally by the two departments. comes
from a $3O0,0O0,O00 public works fund.
Some Of the navy's part will be spent
along the Atlantic, but the greater part
will go for shipyards. dry docks and
bases on the Pacific coast, at Pearl har-
Dor, Hawaii, and at Coco Solo. Canal
Zone, which is a submarine base.
Nearly $11,0O0,OOO of the army's
share is to be used in beginning the
construction Of great air base In
Hawaii. The total cost Of this base
is estimated at $1S,OOO,OO0.
The decision to use most Of the
money in the Pacific was said to have
been Influenced by the fact that the
fleet has been concentrated in Pacific
waters during much Of the past two
years. Navy officials stressed before
the naval committee that facilities on
the coast are inadequate.
Japan is supposed not to be alarmed
by this program. congressional leaders
having given public and careful assur-
ance that no "offense" is intended and
that such propositions as the Hawaii
air base would have been put forward
even If Japan had not denounced the
Washington naval treaty.
At meeting of the army high COM
mand with the military committee Of
the house these plans for defense were
threshed out thoroughly. Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, chief Of staff, recommend
ed to the committee the purchase of
800 new armored and equipped air.
planes at cost of $90OO0,000 to give
the army the aerial armada Of 1920

Baker aviation committee. These ad-
ditional aircraft are necessary, Mac
Arthur said in memorandum, to ex-
pand the new general headquarters air
force to give it 900 fighting units, for
its Pacific, Atlantic and central d.
visions.

manders of these three divisions were

demands for indemnities for Italian
colonials killed on the borders of Ital-

INQUIRIES into the causes Of the
L "quiver" which ripped away the two
gas cells and caused the giant dirigible
"Macon" to plunge into the Pacific has
Leen started. Even the surviving 81
officers and men of the "Sky Queen"
are not certain just what caused the
catastrophe, although Lieut.. Com. b..
V. Wiley, survivor Of the Akron dis
aster and master of the Macon, was
said to have "some ideas" about it. His
findings will be placed before the
board of inquiry.
Some hints were made about struc-
tural weakness of the $2,450,000 craft,
but naval officers refused to discuss the
subject. In Washington President
Roosevelt said there would be no i'm
mediate move to replace the ship.
Survivors of the crash told a dra-
matte story of heroism. Cruising
along at a speed of 60 knots, the ship
twice lowered it's elevation to avoid
rain squalls. A short jar was felt, the
ship began to take bow-up position,
and Commander Wiley received re-
port that one of the IL helium gas
cells was gone. The Macon then rose
rapidly to 1900 feet, its nose stick
ing up at sharp angle and then slow
1y sank toward the ocean as the crew
made frantic efforts to right the lurch-
ing craft.
AS it hit the ocean the crew slid
down ropes or dived into the heavy
swells. Men swan through flame
where flares had ignited oil and gaso-
line.. others rescued companions whose
1ifebelts were lost or broken in long
leaps into the sea. The sailors watched
the ship crumble under the waves and
at last disappear. Only two men were
lost. Cruisers rushed to the scene and
picked up the survivors.

TT is all so simple and reasonable.
L If your physical let-down is caused
by lowered red blood corpuscles-
which is all too frequent-then S.S.S.
Tonic is waiting to help you .. and
will, unless you have serious organic

Remember, S.S.S. is not just a So
called "tonic." 1t is a tonic specially
designed to stimulate gastric secre-
tons, and also has the mineral ele-
ments so very, very necessary in
rebuilding the oxygen-carrying red
corpuscles in the blood.
This two-fold purpose is impor-
tant. Digestion is improved -. food
is better utilized -. and thus you are
enabled to better "carry on" without
exhaustion-as you should naturally.
