TRASH

l have no patience with the guy
(And here's bad luck to him!)
Who throws his tin cans any place,
Convenient to his whim.
Who, under cover of the night,
Sneaks to his neighbours ground,
And moving as thief would go,
Casts rubbish all around.
Why couldn't he locate spot
Shut off and out of sight?
Why litter other mems neat yards?
Outrage their sense of right?
l hope he cuts his tainted hands
On every can he throws.
l wish he'd trip across a root
And punctuate his nose.
l wouldn't do him any harm,
Or anything that's rash;
But I can rate him rather low,
And worthless as his trash.

AS We See It
BN MONTCO

THE SENTINEL CAMPAIGN to
make Rockville a cleaner and more
ciyic.ninded municipality is meeting
with results. Members of the Town
Council and influential citizens have
expressed their interest in the drive
To eradicate the slum section and
keep the negroes off the main street.
The new Chief of Police, Charles
Orme and his willing corps of police
men, are doing their best to aid in
the campaign. It is up 10 the bust
ness men who permit the colored
element to chang around" their bust
ness establishments to join in the
fight for cleaner Rockville" The
better class of colored folk living
within the environs of Rockville, Lin
coin Park and Hayti, agree that
Monkey Run constitutes a menace to
the health and progress of the town.
We repeat, again and again, that
Monkey Run must go, and that every
decent-thinking citizen of Rockville
will join in the public clamor to
eradicate conditions which are rap
idly becoming intolerable.

A strange story comes out of
France concerning mailman who es-
capped from an asylum, set up medi-
cal practice in Paris, and became a
successful doctor, until an accident
revealed his phony past. His method
was to beam all over the patient, tell
them that they were better and make
them believe in him enough to get
well. When they learned that the doc
tor was crazy, they all took a turn
for the worst. Now the legitimate
physicians are wondering just who is
crazy.

ONE OF THE best featurCE of
the Roosevelt Administration is its
interest in the rural youth. In their
respective communities the All Clubs
are getting to be power. On the
basis of their work, they deserve all
praise. The United States, unlike
Germany, is not seeking to make
their young people a corps of blind,
obedient taslmasters. They are
trained to think-here in America

Claude Swanson Was
 Big Navy' Advocate

clause to inauguratc huge naval construction program, swanson immediately called for additional naval construction here. The United States he asserted, would not initiate a naval building race but neither would the United States permit itself to be out-built by other powers.
 Admiral standley was succeeded by Admiral William D. Leahy as chief of naval operations. Leahy saw eye to eye with Swanson in tho need for a navy, "second to none." Out of this able combina- ton came the Presidents l,500,- 100000 naval expansion bill au- thorizing 20 per cent vertical increase in American naval ton- mage, and construction Of Q num- ber of new capital ships to match similar construction abroad.
 By this time more than a score of the new warships on which con- struction started soon after Swan- son took office had been launched and commissioned in service or were nearing completion, and scores Of others were well on the way to- ward completion. Shipyards from Maine to California and from South Carolina tp Washington rang daily with the racket Of riveterS aif hammers.
 Swanson was nearing his objec. tive of being secretary Of the larg- est and most efficient navy this country has eyer had.
 Was Veteran In Congress
 He was born March 28, 1882, in Swansonville, Va. Tie entered the New Deal cabinet after 70 years of political experience. It included service in the b3, b4th, 55th, 66th, b7th, 5sth and 50th Congresses.
 Ho was governor Of Virginia from 1906 to 1910.
 In that year he was appointed to fill the untSpircd term in tho senate caused by the death of Sen. George Warwick Daniel. From men until he entered the cabinet he was continuously reelected to tho senate.
 Swanson, asked by reporters concerning his politics, replied in- variably, "Libcral Democrat. Noth- Ing else"
 Ie attended Swansonvilles pub- lie schools until he was 10. Then he taught school for a year there Afterward he enrolled in Virginia Polytechnic Institute for a term Later he attended Randolph-Ma- con college, and obtained his law degree from the University of Vir- ginia.
 He lived for many years at Chatham, Va.

Claude A. Swanson. who became secretary of the navy with the ad- vent of the Roosevelt adrninBtra- ton, won his cabinet spurs as a "big navy" advocate.
 For years prior to his appolnt- ment as secretary he had adVo- catcd an American navy "second to none" in the world in strength and efficiency. He lived to see his advocacy well on the way toward attainment.
 He came to his post at the head of the Navy Department when the navy was at low ebb. The wash ington naval conference had re- suited in scrapping a large number of American warships under con- struction and a long building holiday" in the construction Of capital ships. The London Naval Conference of 1030 had limited the number and size of cruisers and other ships which the navy might have. The economy programs Of the Coolidge and Hoover adminis- trations had reduced warship con- struction to level far below even that authorized in the naval treaties.
 When Swanson took over the direction of the Navy Department warship construction was almost at q Standstill, and naval officers asserted the navy had been re- duced 10 second or third rate Tn comparison with the British and Japanese fleets. Many of the war ships then in commission were be. ing operated on q rotating" basis that is, held in port and manned by skeleton crews for part Of each year.
 Naval Policy Changed
 Swanson was fortunate in that his "Chicf", President Roosevelt, had once served as assistant sccrc- tary of the navy and was himself "bIg navy man. When the New Deal obtained huge sums for emergency relief purposes swan- son had no difficulty in obtaining generous allotments for new war ship construction.
 With the able assistance of Ad- miral William IT. 5tandley. chiei of naval operations during Swan sons first term of office. Swanson was credited generally with inspir- ing and obtaining passage Of tho Vinson- -Trammell Naval Bill au' tlorizing construction Of warship' up to treaty limits by i042. Swan son immediately put the author ization into execution with fund.- obtained from emergency relici allotmentS. He was able to con tinue this construction, and tt start new construction with added funds obtained from regular navy appropriation bills.
 The Vinson Trammell bill au' thorized construction of l0l ship' costing more than $500, 900 900 over a five-year period. Swanson would accept no compromise in thu execution of this program. Whef construction Of a new navy build ing was proposed Swanson gav' the proposal no encouragement.
 what the navy needs Is .nor' ships and more men. We all car manage to work most anywhere, he said on more than one occasion "When we have any money t spend we'll spend 1t fore mor' ships
