*# , '
Washington.—With '54 fighting ship#
of the latest type now actually under
construction.- the United State* navy^
once more will be a respectable weapon
of defense when the London naval
treaty expires December 31, 1935,
writes Fulton Lewis in the Chicago
Herald-Examiner. *
Oti that date. Navy department fig
ures reveal, the United States still
will have the smallest navy of the
three major naval powers—Britain,
Japan and this country—but she will
be much nearer an adequate size than—
she has been at any time during the
past 12 years.
On the basis of ships now undei
construction and already in service,
the navies of these three powers on
that date will be: Japan, 183; Great
Britain, 101; United States, 108.
Will Double Navy.
In other words, the present naval
construction will exactly double the
size of the American navy by 1030.
The 54 ships now being constructed
represent 17 vessels well under wi^
by past authorizations; 32 shij)* nov
being started under the navy’s $238,-
OiJO.OOO allotment from the public
works administration, and five ships
not included in that program, but now
being started to be paid for out of
yeaAy appropriations to the navy.

Unpn t$«r completion, the vessels
will be assigned to duty, both with the
scouting fleet (usually In the Atlantic)
and with the battle force, which nor
mally stays in the Pacific
The exact assignments are not to be
made until each ship is completed.
However, as the scouting force is
now in the Pacific and will remain
there for some time such ships as are
completed within the next' 8 to 12
months probably will proceed to the
west coast, regardless of wha> their
assignment is to be.
The 37 ships now getting under way,
in the President’s current program to
furnish employment—the 32 directly
under the public works program and
the five under annual appropriation
authorizations—will Include.radical In
novations In the American navy.
One entire new class of vessel has
been Introduced—the 1,850-ton •de
stroyer—of which eight are to be built.
These are about 450 tons Jieavier than
any destroyers previously buflt by the
navy. The lighter class, of which 20
are included in the new prograd), will
have a displacement of 1,500 tons In
stead of the old figure of 1,400 tons.
All the new destroyers are to carry
5-Inch Instead of 4-inch guns. They
are faster, more seaworthy, and con-.
siderably stronger in their armament
and general construction.
The two aircraft carriers under the
hew program, the Yorktown and En
terprise, are to be models of floating
air ports. They will retain the old
side-mast principle for the smoke fun
nels. but will he heavily armed for de
fensive work, and will incorporate n
new elevation system for bringing
planes up to the flight deck from the
lower storage decks.
In addition to these, the current pro
gram includes the cruiser Vincennes.,
four new-type ttgtrr cruisers—the 8a-
vannh, Nashville, RrooKiyn. and Phila
delphia—and four submarines—the
Porpoise, Pike, Shark, and Tarpon.
Two gunboats, the Charleston and
Erie, also are being built under the
public works program.
an ancient customs regulations con
cerning the importation of salt, writes
the Paris correspondent of the London
Dally Telegraph. The question was
raised by a proposal to bring sea wa
ter to Paris In a pipeline for boiling
purposes.
A resident in Marseilles recalls the
snowfall ope winter in his city. The
snow caused consternation among the
city authorities, for it is only on rare
occasions that they have to deal with
a problem of this kind in the Mediter
ranean port.
The problem was elegantly solved
by the mayor, who. on being reminded
that salt is scattered in the streets of
Paris on such occasions, had all the
municipal water carts filled with sen
water from the Old Port. This water,
it was discovered, soon washed away
the snow.
Rut there was an unexpected sequel.
The customs authorities warned the
mayor that he would be summoned
for extracting salt from the sea with
out paying the customs dues. No fur
ther action was taken, however, for
the mayor found an ingenious /An
swer.
“It Is true that we brought salt wa-
ashore without permission,” he
red, “but pipWge remember that
it all went back into the harbor by
way of the sewers.”
Coeds in .Texas Bring
Food to Pay for Food
Canyon, Texas.—When coeds arrived
at West Texas Teachers’ college here
this fall, many brought traveling hags
and trunks filled with canned goods
and other foods to offer as part pay
ment for their board nhd room.
Randall hall, one of the dormitories
on the campus, announced a co-opera
tive plan of operation. Each girl Is
being charged approximately $13 per
commodities brought from their homes
and farms.
Housework at the dormitory will be
done by the girls themselves under the
direction of a supervisor, who also
will be purchasing agent
Windows 6,000 Year* Old
While excavating the site of Per-
sepolls in Persia, archeologists ob
served a low mound in the plain about
two miles away. This little mound,
when excavated, says the National
Geographic Magazine, proved to be the
oldest Stone age village yet discovered
in the Orient It dates from about
4000 B. C. Its walls. 6 or 7 feet high,
contain the earliest windows of which
we have any knowledge. Some of
these walls were painted with red
ocher, and on the floors of the rooms
were found pottery vessels decorated
in painted pattens of lovely design—
the earliest painted pottery yet dis
covered. In some of the vessels were
found flint knives, with which the in
habitants ate their last meal. Even
the picked hones of the animals they
last ate still remained in some of the
dishes. A narrow, winding “main
street” wanders through the center of
this village. Here around 4000 B. C.
dwelt the ancestors of those all-pow
erful Persians who 3.500 years later
lived in the capital city of Istakhr,
and whose royal family luxuriated at

Private Tokens Issued
During the Civil War
A coin the size of a penny, dated
1863, bearing on one side the American
flag with the inscription “The flag of
our Union,” and on the other. “If any
body attempts to tear It down, shoot
him on the spot,” and the word “Dix”
In the center,'Is known as-a Civil war
token.
From 1861 to 1864 the dearth of small
coins gave rise to an enormous pri
vate issue of tokens and merchanta'
cards. The former bore inscriptions
giving vivid expressions to the partisan
slogans of the ’day,'while the other
bore simply the advertisement of the
merchants who issued them. It was
“stimated that not jess than 25.000,000
of these private tokens were issued
throughout the eastern and middle
western states until the government,
by an act of congress In 1864, put a
stop to their Issue.
The name “Dix” in the center of a
token is for the American general and
statesman. John Adams Dix. who was
secretary of the treasury from Janu
ary 11 to March 4, 1861.
Famous Woman Spy Shot
The famous German spy known as
Fraulevn Doktor first came under the
notice of the Russian secret service
in Vienna in 1008. She was under
observation in England in 1912. At
bis campaign against flip Russians in
eastern Prussia. During the Russian
retreat an officer of the Russian secret
service saw and recognized her as the
woman spy of Vienna. Site was im
mediately arrested and shot. It is
stated that the German victorious
cavalry entered the town Just 20 min
utes too late to save her.
drivers published in the newspapers.
Wouldn’t that be just too .-hameful?
Why embarrass these thoughtless and
harmless drunkards by holding them
up to public ridicu’e and . s corn? And
wouldn’t your friends and neighbors
and gossip mongers make frog, eyes
at each other and reach for their hand-
keichfefs when they read about you
on the street corners? It’s just too
personal to be tolerated. In fact I
think we should be more considerate
j of the feelings of other criminals such
as tobber- and kidnappers and mur
derers and quit publishing their
names, jeven after conviction. This
would be in haimony with the merci
ful trend of the public mind and es
pecially of some prison reformers.
Well, it all amount* to this: If you
were caught driving while drunk, or
stealing chickens, or even so‘small a
thing as lobbing a bank, either from
the inside or from the outside, it
would temporarily hurt your standing
in the community to have your name
published in the paper*. There’s old
Alkali Pone ( for example. His name
is ruined, • except on a check or a
bank note and all because they pub
lished his name in the papers. Other
wise, the public would have never
heard of this de-perate criminal and
his good name would have been saved.
So let’s don’t publish the names of
diunken drivers of automobiles. And
to be consistent let’s quit publishing
the names of other miscreants who
happen to be so unfortunate as to be
caught violating the law. Let’s have
rf heart and sympathize and frater
nize with those who -seem to have no
heart.

Fingerprinting
Finger printing is as simple ns read
ing large, black numerals, according
to a fingerprint expert. “For in
stance,” lie says, “we tell a print left
by a negro from that of a white man
by the size of the pore. We tell a ferh-
tnine print from that of a man by the
coarseness of the lines. The female
print has a much finer line Then,
to get right down to personalities,,we
class each print into its distinct group
amj in its group the individual print
staiids right out ns conspicuously as
the group itself—simple, isn’t it?”
