Here's one big proof of how the American Navy Department jump ed to action. The Defense Commis- sion until July 27 had cleared con- tracts totalling $1,722, 100000 and of this amount $1,S49,829,342 was for the navy.

None of the l36 combatant ves- sels now in the course of con- struction is being built because of the announced intention of Con- gress to make 70 per cent increase in the navy.
 The Navy Department cannot proceed with the two-ocean navy plan until Congress actually ap- propriates the money. The 70 per cent increase will mean building about 200 more combat ships in ton- mage:

Mr.. Davis went on to say that
there are a lot of those cheerful

Davis family derive a great deal of
pleasure from them. They become
very tame and friendly. But dur

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ALIENS

Some one has said that ancestry
is like pigs tail, it adds to the
dignity of the pig, but adds nothing
to the quality of the bacon
There are lot of aliens in the
United States, and when the regis
tration which has been commenced
is finished, we will know how many
there are. We do know, however,
that certain types of aliens who have
been permitted to enter the country
are source of trouble and worry
to us. We know that most of the
subversive isms and doctrines are
imported by some of these aliens.
We know that most Of the gangsters
and racketeers are foreign born.
Thousands of aliens are on our re-
lief rolls and enjoy higher stand
ard of living than they could ever
expect in the lands they came from.
America owes much to the mil
lions of foreign born immigrants
who have become good citizens, and
who have helped to build this ma

is not important A man may have

we welcome him as a member of
the great American family.
Registration and finger printing
will help to classify and determine
the fitness of our aliens. Those who

way of life should be loaded on

restraint. Those who appreciate our

GIRLS SET CAPS FOR
TONNES HEADCEAR

LONDON-In wartime. girls al
ways have had an urge to collect
army hats and caps complete with
badge and insignia, and many a
soldier has had to return to camp
and explain shamefacedly that his
cap had been taken by his best
girl.
One girl Dragged she had %
caps already. Each was from a
different regiment.
Now it has become the turn of
the French sailors working out of
one British port. Their berets with
red pom-poms have proved ire
sistible to the girls.
Aided by the blackout, they
have made nightly sport of beret-
bagging, not just for souvenirs but
because with little adjusting, the
caps can be made into very natty
headgear for women.
