season: Not single American Lacquer belonged

There were two young outhelders whose minor

Coan of Washington and Hoot Evers of Detroit.
But Coan, elected Mr. Minor Lacquer of 1945,
never got started and played little AS for Evers,
he was bounded by ill luck and spent most of the
campaign collecting an interesting assortment of
broken bones.

THE BIRTH OF THE
limited STATES NAVY

When war broke out between
the colonies and the mother
country, England was mistress
n the seas. Her ships went
everywhere and her colonies
could send their merchantmen
into any port open to them un-
der England's protection. But
when they were at war with her,
all this was changed. The colo
nies had to fight their own bat
Ties and look after their own
ships at sea. The colonists, how-
ever, had not a single ship large
and strong enough 10 meet any
one of the British fleet
There was crying need for
naval protection of some kind.
Coast towns were open to attack
bv the enemy, ships rrylng
American troops and supplies
had to run great risks. So they
allowed hundreds of small boats
to be fitted out by private per-
sons. These boats, called pri-
vateers, by attacking English
merchantmen made it ne
cessary for the British fleet to
guard her own; and the more
warships were used in this way,
the less they could be used to
stack American commerce.
But, after all, this was but a
better was soon needed, and the
colonists could no longer close
their eyyes to the fact. The
