SHORT FUNDS CUT
ARMY MANEUvERS
Plans to Assemble 10000
Men Revised After
Congress Acts.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Plans for testing the 1st Army's
ability to assemble and maneuver its
$4,000 men are being revised as the
result Of Congress refusal to vote as
much money as the War Department
wanted for the venture.
In asking an appropriation of $780,
pl4 for maneuvers. the department
Indicated it desired to spend $379,630
on mobilization of the 1st Army at
Pine Camp near Watertown, N. Y.
Only s446,744 was voted by Congress
for all maneuvers, which were ex-
pected to include l3 separate opera
tions in different parts of the United
States, the Philippines, Hawaii and
the Panama Canal Zone.
The department had hoped to as
semble not only the Regular Army.
but National Guardsmen in the 1st
Army area, which includes all States
on the Atlantic Coast north Of North
Carolina.
A spokesman for the department
said recently that the planning and
training division of the General Staff
was hurrying work on the proposal
so a general plan involving co-opera-
ton of the National Guard units
might be submitted to the North
eastern States. It was indicated early
studies had led to the belief the en-
campment should be at Pine Camp,
but that a final decision had not been
made.
It was said that never in the peace
time history of the country has an
entire army with full strength-in-
fantry, artillery, cavalry. aircraft,
tanks and non -combatant units-been
assembled

Creoles as most folks thought.
They all had the most delightful

brother to Chico MADEIRA, the vio-

was named Gonzales, and he
brought along his lovely little
French wife. The third member of

three years of college espanol, and
s'help me, I couldn't say hardly
two words without stumbling all
over the place. I never knew what
a beautiful language Spanish

Here's a question, and be care
full how you answer it! Would you
prefer to be ignorant, illiterate, or
just plain stupid? Nine out of ten
people say brightly: 'I'd rather be
just plain stupid" Well, if you
make that answer, brother, you
ARE plain stupid, because if you
had any sense, you'd say you'd
like to be either illiterate or ig-
norant. If you were either one of
those two you could improve your
self, but if you were just plain
stupid, you'd have to stay that
way.
Our sociology prof sprang that
one in lecture class t'other day,
and when ninety per cent of the
class members raised their hands
in preference of the Stupid" clas-
sification, the prof cracked:

towns aren't bad places to come
back to when you're broke, but
darned if they're any Ravens of
prosperity when you want to make
yourself some money. It's either
get married and pinch pennies, or
stay single and pinch pennies.
Either way it's kinda tough on the
pocketbook, Ell?
Well, I once made a classical
ton of lads whom thought would
make future successes of them
selves. That was two years ago.
Today every single one of the
group has either fallen back a pace
or two, or has given up the strug-
gle entirely. What's wrong with
you boys? That amt no way to
