NAVY PROGRAM OF WILBUR NIT BY LONGWORTH Speaker Wants Early Start in Construction of Vessels. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Sts.tr Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—1n drafting a naval program, Congress will provide for construction to begin immediately and to continue until the program is completed, Speaker of the House Longworth predicted today. The speaker, whose legislative influence is powerful and who is generalissimo of the “big navy” group in the House; pointed out that the $800,000,000 program of seventy-one vessels recommended by Secretary of Navy Wilbur, is indefinite, setting no time limit. He and others find this unsatisfactory. Wants No Paper Navy No definite opinions have developed yet as to how the naval program should be developed, but the House Naval Affairs Committee will begin work soon after the holidays. “We must either hx a definite time limit,” Longworth said, “or attach a definite provision in the measure itself that the building continue until the program is completed. We want to build ships—we don’t want a paper Navy.” Longworth also sees no reason for the provision in Wilbur’s program permitting the President to suspend building, in whole or in part, which is generally regarded as a loophole in event of another disarmament conference. Below Maximum flow “If we have another conference,” he said, “we don’t want to stop building beforehand. If a treaty were drawn up, it would provide for stopping construction, and that would be time enough to call off building. “Everybody admits our Navy is not up to the strength permitted by the last treaty. I have always taken the position that we owe it to this country to keep our Navy up to such strength.” It seems probable now that the Naval Affairs Committee merely will use Wilbur’s program as an outline and will draw up a specific, definite program of its own.

So the mother hastens a marriage of Diana with Arthur Vane, some years older, a successful San Francisco lawyer. Diana is only 18 and goes into marriage believing "Arthur is so different from other men he always will be satisfied with merely spiritual love.” He respects her reserve, at first, as a young girl’s natural reserve. But, after months of loveless wedded life, he tells her she has wrecked his life. Some time after her mother dies, Diana leaves Arthur and finds her long-lost sister, Vivian preparing for a trip to New York. Diana rents a room at the home of Mrs. Burton, a widowed friend of Diana’s mother, and enrolls in Seton’s School of Acting. Within a few months she has progressed so well with her school work she is taken by Shepherd Seton. head of the school, as his personal pupil. He arouses in her. in the impassioned love scenes they rehearse together, sensations she has never had before.

He Couldn’t Sleep, Stomach Hurt So

Back ached for years. Finally found relief. Perfectly well now. Friends of Mr. Henry Remillard, 294 No. Dearborn St., Bradley, 111., were recently surprised by his sudden return to good health. He explains it as follows: “For many years, I had chronic indigestion, and for the last six months, I never knew what it was to have a good night’s sleep, my stomach hurt so. I had gas and bilious attacks whenever I tried to eat, and my heart palpitated so I could hardly breathe. My kidneys were weak, and I had terrible headaches and pains in my back. I was constipated, felt tired and worn-out all the tfhie, and was absolutely discouraged. But anew hope came to me the day I started taking Viuna. It promptly gave me the help I needed, and today I can hardly realize that I was ever so sick. My stomach never gives me a moment of trouble, and sound sleep Is surely a blessed relief. The gas pains, biliousness and shortness of breath are all gone. I am rid of the headaches and backache, and feeling splendid in every way. I owe my health to Viuna, and can never hope to praise it enough.” Viuna aeta promptly bn sluggish towels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you’re not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind- t VIUNA The. Wonder Medicine.

class when someone rushes in with the information that Seton has been shot. Vivian later confesses to Diana that she shot Seton. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER LIU ARTHUR was not so pleasant as usual. The interview of the morning had evidently taken effect. “I’m very busy,” he said, curtly. “Why can’t you explain what you want over the telephone.” “Because I can’t,” Diana replied. “This is serious, Arthur. It’s a matter of life and death.” she knew by his tone that he did not believe her, but he promised to come as soon as he could. Vivian proceeded, promptly, into hysterics. “I can’t bear for Arthur to know what I’ve done,” she cried. Diana brought smelling salts, wrung cloths out of cold water, and held her sister’s hand. But without weakening. “We’ll have to have someone’s advice,” she Insisted. '"Arthur is a lawyer. He can tell us what to do.” She could have wept with relief

Santa Claus, Ind., Gets Many Letter at Yuletide

Postmaster Says Kris Kringle Left No Forwarding Address. Bn United Press SANTA CLAUS, Ind., Dec. 26. A forwarding address for Santa Claus is sought by J. R. Martin, postmaster of this village, which bears the name of the Christmas saint. Every year Martin receives more than 100 "letters written by children over all North America, and addressed to “Santa Claus, at Santa Claus, Ind.” ") Santa himself apparently never has heard of his Indiana namesake ar J has failed to provide a forwarding address. “It keeps me pretty busy sorting Santa’s mail this time of year,” Martin told the United Press today. “Some of the letters come from far away places. Yesterday I received one from Ottawa, Ontario, and last year one, written in Spanish, came from Tampico, Mexico. Not all the letters return to the dead letter office, Martin said. He opens those addressed to “Santa Claus, care of Postmaster.” Wanted Baby Elephant “Mostly they’re just gentle reminders to Santa,” he said. “Sometimes I run across queer requests for gifts. One boy asked for a baby elephant.” On rare occasions, the postmaster added, he received letters after Christmas, thanking Santa for past favors. Martin and his wife manage Santa Claus’ only general store. He knows the history of Spencer County for years back and tells a legend of how the village received its name. When the State was young, he declares, a band of German immigrants settled here. There were no stores nor factories, but the Germans were wood carvers of wonderful skill and made their own tools and household utenells. In the winter months, when they could not work, the Germans amused themselves by carving toys for their children, so that they would not be forgotten when Christmas came. Toys Spread Fame Gradually the fame of these hand-carved toys spread over Spencer County, and the immigrants

when he finally arrived. And his attitude became serious enough when they explained. Vivian had recovered sufficiently to sit quietly and look disturbingly beautiful. “I misunderstood his relations with Diana,” she murmured, plaintively. “But I only inteded to frighten him, Arthur.” She was wriggling out of it rapidly. By morning Diana supposed she would be saying she had no Idea the pistol was loaded. “Is this the man you were telling me about?” Arthur inquired. Diana nodded. “Some mess,” he admitted, gloomily. "But perhaps he isn’t hurt as badly as you think. Is there anyone you can ask?” “I might cn’ Mr. Klcsalek,” Diana suggested. She returned frem the telephone with little additional information. Klesalek was at tne hospital where they had taken Seton. At least he was not dead. Thank God for that.

Vivian rose, fastening her coat with trembling fingers.

found a ready market for their wares. Children for whom the toys were bought, learned, of course, that Santa Claus made them. As they grew /older and found where the toys really came from, they spoke of the German village as “Santa Claus town.”

Such is the legend, according to Martin, but county records show a. different story. Shadrach Hall built a tanyard here in 1820 and Absalom Pollard erected the first store in 1840. The village was laid out in 1846 and called Santa Fe. There Is another Santa Fe in Miami County and the Postoffice Department requested the name be chaged. Records show that on Dec. 24. 1855, a group of citizens met to decide the A.ew name. Apparently because of the Christmas spirit pervading the gathering, and perhaps because there is some truth in the old legend, the townspeople voted unanimously to change the name to Santa Claus, which has been retained. The Postofflce Department spells it as one word, "Santaclaus.” but the villagers insist on making it two, "Santa Claus.” 200 MINISTERS MEET Christian Pastors Hold Annual r Retreat in City.

“I’m going home,” she declared. “Why not stay here tonight?” Arthur suggested. “I can't. I suppose if he’s conscious he'll try to have me arrested?” “He may,” Arthur admitted, “or he may not. He won’t be anxious to be involved in a scandal, you know.” There was a gleam of terror in Vivian’s eyes. “I think I’ll leave town.” “I wouldn’t, Vivian. Better wait and see if he prefers charges. It would go hard with you if you were caught running away.” “Vivian’s scared to death,” Arthur said, when she had gone. “And well she may be. I never would have suspected her of a thing like this.” “I thought the moment I heard about it that she might have done it,” Diana admitted. “But I didn’t take her treats seriously at the time she made them.” “Did she threaten to kill him?” “Yes, but you see,” Diana hesitated, “I was so accustomed to my

mother saying things she didn’t mean I supposed Vivian didn’t either.’’ “Your mother and Vivian are two entirely different types." “I’m not so sure about that,’’ Diana contended. "They seem to have a great deal in common.” She pushed the hair from her forehead and sighed. That day had seemed eternities. At least a year must have elapsed since morning. So much had happened. Her entire train of. thought t had been changed. “Do you suppose they will put Vivian in jail?” she inquired, anxiously. “Not is we can help it. But you know the man. He was your lover. What do you think?” “He wasn’t my lover, Arthur. Not the way you mean.” “You loved him, didn’t you? So much that you wanted a divorce from me?” “Well, don’t remind me of it.” “Why shouldn’t I remind you of it?” he demanded savagely. "Wasn’t it only this morning you asked me to make arrangements for a divorce?” “Oh, I know it. But I was wrong.” “You don’t mean that you’ve changed your mind?” “He changed it for me,” she admitted. “You see, you were right, Arthur. He really loves his wife. I—l—.” She began to cry, bitterly. Arthur sank into a chair and lifted her upon his lap. “Never mind, little thing,” he comforted. “Pretend I’m your uncle or something and cry it out. .• ” (To Be Continued)
