lament.
A total of as ships of various

AIR BASES EXPANDED
During the current year the
ROYAL Air force has opened SIX
new airdromes, landing fields or
seaplane bases, while another 30
are expected to be completed be-
fore the year ends. Civil and mil
itary airdroms, landing fields or
seaplane bases have increased IN
Great Britain and Northern Ire
Ind by so per cent during the past
IS months.
Ships now being built include
no battleships. Terms of the 1887
Lnodon naval treaty prohibit such
construction until next year.
Although battleships are not
being built, armor plate, gun
mountings and large guns have
been cast in stable quantities.
Other equipment and supnies
needed for modern battleships
are being made and stored.
-FOUR CRUISERS NEARLY
READY
During the current fiscal year
four cruisers and eight destroyers

While the work of building new

BEACH BUMPS

Yes, Friday, the thirteenth, is

The day began his difficulties
early in the morning when Beach,
an employe of the Corson and
Gruman contracting firm, was
cranking his automobile in the
rear of the contractors building
at Thirty-third and K Streets
Northwest. Beach, forgetting that
he had left his vehicle in gear,
had to jump for his life when the
auto responded to the cranking
and, splitting and choking, chugged
its way on toward the Potomac
River about so feet away, with
the irate Beach in hot pursuit.
Approaching the river, the car
easily hurdled a slight obstruction
and plunged on down a 12-foot
embankment into the murky
waters. Beach tried in vain to ex-
tricate the car from its watery
sanctuary, but was told by river
authorities he would have to wait
until low tide.

ORGAN CONCERT WAS
GREAT MUSICAL TRIUMPH

The many music enthusiasts of Lib
by experienced something new in their
field of interest Monday evening when
DR.. Robert w. Stevens presented a
beautiful recital of organ music to the
public. DR. Stevens, an artist Of world
fame, played on the new electronic
Hammond organ which, in itself, is the
greatest musical development Of the
modern age. In addition to Dr. Stevens
magnificent performance, the program
was made even more delightful by the
lovely singing Of Mrs. Walter Neils
and the perfect piano selections played
by Mr. Des Voignes of Boomers Ferry.
The recital gave the large and at
tentive audience several hours of in
expressible pleasure. DR.. Stevens
pleasing personality completely cap
tured his listeners and his music pro-
vided lasting thrills for all who were
present. He was very generous with
his encore selections and returned
again to the wild summons of insistent
applause.
Obviously, this event was the great
est musical triumph that Libby has
ever known and has resulted in much
greater understanding and appreciation
for beautiful music which is the SUI
preme expression of the universe. It
would be worthy civic project if
Libby would purchase a Hammond
organ and would enable the citizens to
enjoy such lovliness more often and
fully. Mr.. Beardsley is deserving Of
the expressed gratitude of the entire
community in that he is responsible
for this musical treat.
Tuesday night DR.. Stevens appeared
in Troy with complete change of pro-
gram He was assisted by Miss Inez
Ratekin, who played the Litz A Flat
concerto, and Miss Margaret Clay,
noted violinist of Washington State
College Mrs Neils also very generous
ly repeated her selections
DR. Stevens, who has studied abroad
and who has been closely connected
with such men as Paderewski, Theodore
Thomas, and others, paid very flatter-
ing compliment to Libby when he said
that there is more musical talent and
interest to be found here than in Great
Falls, where he makes his home. This
lis tribute Of which Libby can well be
very proud.
