An Invincible NAVY.

:, BY voting 20 to 3 in approval of the
bill expanding the Navy by twenty per
cent beyond London treaty limits, the
House Naval Affairs Committee has taken
the first hurdle along the path leading to
creation OF fleet capable of defending
the United States on both oceans. The
dimensions of the program thus initiated
are truly staggering. They call for ex-
penditure Of sl,l13,546,OO0 for three 35,-
0O0-ton battleships, two aircraft carriers,
nine cruisers, twenty-three destroyers,
nine submarines. five destroyer tenders,
three submarine tenders, eleven sea-
plane tenders, three repair ships and $50
planes. In addition, this utterly un-
precedented peacetime construction pro-
gram authorizes 100000 for moderniza-
ton of Government shipyards, $30,00O,-
600 for experimentation in new types of
war craft and 100000 for a dirigible of
Zeppelin pattern.
OF even more striking significance than
the expansion Immediately planned, is
the policy amendment to the Vinson
bill, making it ''the intent of Congress
that the United States shall have fleet
sufficient to protect both coasts at once"
The Government will be committed, if
Congress ratifies the recommendation of
the Naval Affairs Committee, to the
establishment of both Atlantic and
Pacific Fleets, at an estimated ultimate
cost of $3000,O00 000-spread over a
period OF years. Admiral Leahy told the
committee that the present strength of
the Navy is wholly inadequate for two
ocean defense.
Opponents of naval expansion on the
contemplated scale had their day in
court along with advocates of it. The
almost 7-to-1 margin by which the COM
mittee recommended passage of the bill
is graphic indication that the arguments
adduced against it in protracted hear
ings produced little effect. Evidently
Chairman Vinson and his colleagues took
no stock in the contention that the prof.
ect is IAN invitation to war" OF equally
little influence was the no less ludicrous
opposition claim that the program was
inspired by Great Britain, because it
wants Uncle Sam to join John Bull lin
policing the world" The categorical as
surances Of Secretary Hull that we have
no understanding with the British,
actual, secret or implied, on naval or on
political matters affecting navies, seem
to have satisfied the House committee.
The bill is strictly homegrown prod
uct. 1t is conceived exclusively for do
mestic security and peace-keeping pur-
poses. 1t has no strings attached to it
that could ever be used for pulling the
chestnuts of Great Britain or any other
nation but our own out of the interna-
tional fire.
The House will begin to debate the
measure next week. There is fortunate
ly every prospect that the 20-to-3 vote
in committee is an augury of the over
whelming support awaiting the PROPOSE
ton IN Congress. Every days news from
world in high tension" argues for
prompt action in that direction.

Songs That Reach Heart
Must Picture the Scene

The better a song enables those
hearing it to vizualize scene, the
better the song, obviously. Such
songs never die. There are songs
that have helped untold thousands
to visualize a scene or emotion,
writes Rev. G.. White in the Detroit
News.
when Irish Eyes Are Smiling"
was written by an American, Ernest
Ball, some Is years ago. and is re-
garded by most Americans as
breathing Of the very spirit of old
Erin. Loves Old Sweet Song" was
written in mid-Victorian days by
James L. Molloy, an Englshman.
Popular songs of the Down by
the Old Mill Stream" type may be-
come folk songs, for the melodies
are simple and sweet and the char
acters the ever-popular "boy-and-
girl combination. It was written
by Tell Taylor in 1910. Another of
this type is wait Till the Cows
Come Home" written by Anne Cald-
well in 1917.
Comm Through the Rye" was
written by forgotten composer in
the Seventeenth century. Robert
Burns set down the words we all
know. The song refers to the Rye
river, rather than a field of rye.
Young gallants waited by the
stream, which had no bridge, and Of
fered to carry the neighborhood las
sizes across. In mid-stream they
would demand a kiss for a fee,
threatening to drop the passenger in
the water unless it were paid.
The Spring Song" is perhaps the
best known of the great Mendels-
Sohn's shorter numbers. Several Tyr
les have been written to the music.
Listen to the Mocking Bird was
written shortly before the Civil war.
"Put on Your Old Gray Bonnet"
dates to the early Twentieth CEN

Chop Suey Was Known to
Chinese Long, Long Ago

Various authorities have stated
that chop suey is not a native Chi
neSe dish, but is known in China
chiefly among tourists and foreign
ers, though of course most of the
ingredients were well known to the
Chinese in China before this became
a popular American dish. The usu-
al story, notes a writer in the
Detroit News, is that it was hastily
invented by a chef in Chinatown,
New York city, in 1896, during the
visit of Ii Hung Chang, the chef
calling it chop suey or mixture
of his own creation.
1t appears, however, to be much
older than this and to be connected
with the influx of Chinese labor in
the early days of California gold
mining and western railroad con-
struction. A recent history of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, Steel of
Empire" by j. M. Gibbon, says:
Gold in California brought an
other link with Cathay in the form
of a tide of Cinnamon who paid
fifty dollars head to cross the
Pacific to do odd jobs, ply their
trades and wash gold as well as
linen. Some of them ran restau-
rants, with Chinese food for their
compatriots, and one of these Incl

become a national American dish.

spread and curtains, also slip COW
er for his study chair? What kind
of desk would you have here?"
Answer: Why don't you make the
girls room look very crisp and
starched with green and white
checked gingham for curtains, bed
spread and dressing table skirt?
That would be less expensive than
either candlewick or chintz, and
equally as gay. You might pleat
the valance, skirt for dressing table
and flounce for the bed. The slip
covers for the chairs could also have
pleated ruff1es around the bottom. It
would be sweet to have school pho
tographs framed with mats of the
same green and white checked ging-
ham.
AS for your sons room, why don't
you get a plain blue rug for the
floor, then have the bedspread made
of faded blue denim piped with red.
His study chair could have a slip
cover in the same faded blue denim
piped in red. For curtains, use
plain cream net with side curtains
of a striped material in red and
cream with maybe bit of blue.
Add extra cushions of plain red. A
secretary desk in walnut would be
good idea in this room, because it
would give him book shelves as well
as extra drawer space along with
a desk compartment.
