 Washington, Aug. si--{UP) - The congress about to terminate was credited by army and navy cfiiclals today with having done more for American national de. hse t an any congress of recent years. It dipped deeply into tax. payers pockets for nearly $1,0o0,. 000,000 for defense prepared ness, along with almost tnprAced dented appropriations for other national purposes. War and navy depart. iiient 0ifielais contended, that in the money spent for national pres pafedness, which they fegard m much the same light as Ire instr. ance, the taxpayer will receive hls tioney's worth.
 This congress authorized in. creascs ih the strength of both the ariny and the navy. 1t restored tho pay cuts Imposed upon the uHis formed services, along with ali other federal government employ. eeb, by the economy act of the Hoover regime. It provided more ships for the navy, and for more aifplanes for both the army and the navy. It passed the army 6ffi- cers' promotion bill which is ex. peeted 10 60 q long way toward al. leviatioh of the stagnatioh which has developed in the promotion of army officers. It provided money fof nodernizatlon and iiiechsniaa- ton Of the artny and better h0us- ing for the army and for the Tia- val personel stationed ashore. It passed bill authorizing the esta blishrnent of foWefful air bas. es on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, ana one each in the Pana- ma Canal Zone, Hawaii and Alas. ka; also for one aif base to be To. epted h the north .cenier of the United States. bpecincaiiy, con- Bress voted regular appfopfiatlons of e40i,9S,is0 for the army dur.

Tn addition, both are obtain. Ing soSiis work-felief funds.
 The army was given an Increase of approximately b0,000 In enlist. cd men, bringing the total to isB,. 900. Arrangement was made for an Increase in the number of com ssalssioned ofsieers by Increasing the number of cadets at the mil. tAry academy at West Point. Each conSrssssaap and senator is now permitted 10 nominate three ca. dets annually, instead of the pre- vious two. ...
 Along with this Increase in slsc, the ar sy's morale is deemed to have been improved by the pay restoration and the army oficef promotion bill. its efheieney Is considered to have been improved by the continuation of the mod efnizAtioR and iaechanixation pro.

NEUTRALITY HAS
 BEEN OPPOSED

x Washington, Aug. 24--tUP)-- A drive to pass the administration neutrality blll, proposed as a safe- guard against . foreign war, met bitter opposition today In the sem ate despite the rush toward ad- journnent. Senator Hiram W. Johnson, republican. California, iiayed the Dill as "arrant non- sense.s He protested eloquently against the haste with which the subject was being considered. '.It is arrant nonsense" he said, "to think we are going to prevent war by acting on a resolution of this kind overnight" "Do not delude yourselves that this resolution will accomplish any great results" {" Johnson shouted. 'It Will not pre-. vent any wars. When the people are told that it will. they are simply being deceived and deluded."
 He denounced statements that this country may be Involved in a general European war, growing out of the italo- E;thia plan erisis: "We are not going across the seas. We have. learned our lesson, dearly bought. There Was q time when we might kave been foFeed, bs biundering into war that was nene of our concern. But that day has passed"

Imitation Stopped

Washington, Aug. 24-(UP)- Monetary imitation was averted for tac present at least, by successful administration resistance to infia- ton sentiment in the session of congress ending today.
 4Stcmming of the imitation tide was regarded as fully as important as the administrations ambitious legislative program for broad ex- tension of its control over bank ing and credit.
 The imitation move reached its highswater mark with passage of legislation to pay the $2,200.000,- GOO soldier bonus with fiat United States money. It was defeated by presidential veto, sustained only in the senate after Q dramatic appeal by the president to both houses.
 The bonus as well as other poe tentiai monetary imitation measures will go over into the next session of congress and will again become major issues.
 The administration claimed an impressive victory in its bank leg isiative program. New powers were centered in a new federal reserve board, virtually turning the agency into a central banking authority. Tax legislation also was in line with administration wishes.
 Other Financial Bills - Other legislative financial ac. complishments were:
 1-The Federal Deposit Insur- ance corporation, which Is protect ing 14,500 Of the country's 15,60o banks, was made permanent with a one-twelfth of one per cent as- sessment on the banks.
 2-TheN l2 regional federal re- serve banks are to be headed by a president, appointed for i've years only with the approval or the reserve board.
 3-The reserve board can double reserve requirements to head off ovcr-expansion of credit and can permit banks to lend and redis- count moro liberaily to check con- traction of credit.
 Full control over open mar ket operations Is vested in the new seven-man board of governors of federal reserve system and hve outsiders from reserve banks.
 6--The treasury obtained ap- proval to sell unlimited quantities of "baby" United States bonds to help finance recovery but was de. feated in attempts to mint frac- tional coins.
 e--Passage of'the quarter billion dollar tax bill, setting higher sur taxes, estate and corporation taxes.

MODERN RANCE
!. SAVES TIME

The trend of modernization in
the home has seen the transforma-
ton of practically every room in
the house.
The good taste of the American
housewife has made her DESTROYS
of bringing to her home greater
cheer and comfort more expressive
of the life of today. Living room,
dining room, bedrooms, recrea-
ton room and kitchen have given
way to new order Of things.
Often unknowingly the kitchen
has been neglected, for many
housewives have not realized the
important changes and outstand-
ing improvements that have been
made in the modern gas range to
save time and labor and to per-
init the preparation of better bal
anced menus of greater variety.
Local cooking schools have done
much to stimulate this interest for
kitchens that are more scientific
ally planned with the modern use
of color and the latest gas appli-
ances. Now the leading depart
ment stores, household appliance
dealers and the Washington Gas
Light Company are cooperating in
a campaign to bring to the atten-
,tion of the home executive the
scientific advances in modern cook.
cry through the modern gas
range.
Attractive displays of the new
gas ranges smartly styled, COM
pactly designed, colorful, with
everything conveniently arranged,
have broadened her vision and
have made her realize the greater
comfort and leisure that may be
hers by owning one Of these mod
ern gas appliances.

FILA Loans Rise

The Federal Housing Admins
tration announces that modern
ization loans have reached $49,-
435, 1913. Reports indicate that 30
million dollars of modernization
work has been generated since
tie administrations program
started.
For the past four or five
weeks, insured modernization

BUILDING GAIN
ENCOURAGES
REALTY MEN

Building in Washington is up
IS per cent over last year and
in the counties of Arlington and
Montgomery there is an increase
of ITS per cent over the previous
year.
This boom especially applies
to small homes and is most no
ticeable in Bethesda, Silver
Spring, subdivisions between
washington and Alexandria, and
the vicinity of the Washington
Golf and Country Club.
One builder said that couple
of Sundays ago he had placed
on the market 10 small houses
and that by S o'clock the same
evening all had been sold. At
present this gentleman is build
ing Is.
It is expected that sale Of
these small houses will greatly
encourage the real estate bust
ness in washington and even
tually lead to larger and more
profitable undertakings.

has taken the first step toward
erection of it's new building,
