OLDEST SOCIAL CLUB

Dear Almanack:
In a recent issue of the Alma
mack I read an article by George
n. Eckhardt on recipes Of the
schuylkin Fishing Club which
states that this is the oldest
social club in the world in which
English is spoken. For your in

London are older:

AT the end of a month the
CoCoMALT. fed children showed
an average weight gain of LAG
pounds per child as against l.9
pounds per child for those who
did not get CoCoMALT. And the
CoCoMALT-fed group showed an
average gain of % per cent in
hemoglobin and red blood cells
as against 10 per cent for the
other group. Considering its food
values, eeeeMALT is a modest
priced, concentrated, energizing,
protective food.
cOcoMALT contains easily
digested and readily assimilated
carbohydrates for energy; also
calcium, phosphorus, iron, vita
minis A, p y and G. and imPer-
tant proteins. Added TO milk,
CoCoMALT makes a delicious
drink - especially pleasing to
those who will not ordinarily
drink milk alone. Your doctor

meal. But, to the diet of one
group was added one ounce of

Exceeded Only by Luke's Feat in 1918

strongly protected by air and ground
forces.
In Hargney's Command.
1t. Luke was with the 9th Pur-
suit Squadron and Capt. Ricken-
backer was commanding officer of
the Gath Pursuit Squadron. Both
belonged to the 1st Pursuit Group
commanded by Col. Harold Harg-
ney, who now lives in Washington.
officials said another American
pilot of World War I, 1t. David Put
nam, who served with both the
French and American flying forces,
brought down three German planes
in one fight.
Capt. Rickenbacker was credited
with bringing down two German
planes in single dog fight on four
or five different occasions. One
source said he shot down four planes
in one day but it was believed to
be on different flights. Col. Harg-
ney, in his own book dealing with
the exploits of the 1st Pursuit force
in France does not credit Capt.
Rickenbacker with more than two
German planes on single day.
Capt. Rickenbacker, now president
of Eastern Air Lines, was seriously
injured a few months ago in a plane
crash during storm in Georgia.

As House Group Votes
Naval Expansion
Tonnage TotoI Cut From
100000 to 10000 at
Request of Officials
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Authorization for an expansion OF
the United States two-ocean Navy
was approved quickly today by the
House Naval Committee after the
size of the contemplated increase
was reduced from 100000 tons to
10000 tons at the request Of the
Navy.
The measure left the type of
ships to be constructed to the dis
cretion of the President and the
Navy Department, but Chairman
Vinson said it would include no
battleships.
He hastened to add, however, that
this does not mean that we are
abandoning the idea of battleshlps,
but it takes longer to build them"
He said that the committee was
willing to authorize the full 900 600
ton expansion proposed in a bill he
introduced, but that the Navy had
decided on the smaller amount after
a re-examination of its needs.
No Shipyard Expansion Needed.
Mr.. Vinson declared the 10000
tons would not necessitate expansion
of present shipbuilding facilities now
working on a top speed around the
clock schedule on both coasts. He
said that all the ships to be built
under the authorization would be
laid down in the calendar year 1912.
The committee, working under a
recently inaugurated policy of hold
ing all its sessions in private, took
its action following conference
with Rear Admiral Samuel Robin
son, chief of the Navy's Bureau Of
Ships.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
informally approved a bill giving
President Roosevelt extraordinary
war time powers and Chairman Van
Nuys said he expected formal
unanimous vote Of approval later in
the day. He said he would ask the
Senate to pass 1t tomorrow.
No Domestic Censorship.
Mr.. Van Nuys said that Attorney
General Biddle had assured the
committee that a provision giving
the President control over communi-
cations would not involve any do

President Gives Wi|Ikie
Account Of Hawaii Attack

Wendell L. Willkie, Republican
presidential candidate in 1910, had
lunch with President Roosevelt to-
day and discussed with the Chief
Executive the American war effort
and the productive capacity OF the
country for war needs.
The President gave Mr.. Willkie a
digest of Secretary of the Navy
Knox report OF Hawaii, and Mr..
Willkie observed as he left the
White House that he felt the attack
on Hawaii had in no way leSsened
American effectiveness for fighting
the Axis.
This is war of production" Mr..
Willkie said, "apd I am satisfied the
United States can outproduce any
nation or combination of nations" !"
Mr.. Willkie said the President had
neither offered him job nor
sounded him out about taking Fed
eral war time job. He said he had
no engagement to see the President
again.
