CRITICS SILENT ON RECORD SIZE ARMY-NAVY BILL $912,230,665 Appropriated for 1937, Largest in Peace Times. (Editorial on Page Fourteen) Ry Rerippt-fToitnrd A etrspaper A llianr.e WASHINGTON, May 12.—Without protest from the National Economy League, the Liberty League, or any of the other outstanding advocates of government retrenchment or Chambers of Commerce, Congress has just approved the largest military and naval appropriations ever made by this country in peace time. For 1927 the Navy has been allowed *529,125,806; the Army—for strictly military purposes—s3B3,lo4,859. The total is *912,230,665. Together the two services will probably spend some *984,000,000, however, since they have money left from earlier allotments. Congress pared some *20.000,000 from the appropriations asked for the Navy. But it increased Army funds by *8,000,000. In fiscal year 1933, the budget for which was prepared by the Hoover administration, the War and Navy Departments spent *648,149,000. The next year, Mr. Roosevelt’s economy cut expenditures to *540,358,000. Necessary, Roosevelt Holds From that time, however, and coincident with many changes in the world situation, expenditures have risen steadily. In 1935 they were *709,934,000. Last year they were *905,068.000. Next year they will be almost twice as great a„s in 1934. The total is larger than the amounts expended for national defense by Great Britain, France, or any other nation. President Rooseveit, in recommending increased expenditures for 1937 explained them as necessary "to meet the policy of the Congress and the executive in making up for the delay by the United States in bringing the Navy up to the strength contemplated by the naval treaties of 1922 and 1930. and to provide replacement and improved equipment and additional personnel for the Army. Increased Man Power Under this program the Navy enlisted strength is being increased 6500 to a total of 100,000. Army strength is being increased from 150,000 to 167,000. Adding together officers and men In the Army and Navy, the National Guard and Coast Guard, West Point and Annapolis cadets, the total forces of the United States number 485,500. If to these are added reserve officers, the personnel of C. M. T. C. camps and school and college students receiving military training, the number of men in uniform during the present fiscal year is 695,400. The House appropriations committee, calling attention to the size of this year’s appropriations for the Navy, pointed out that this was “in consonance with the declared naval policy to have and support a navy second to none, subject of course to any existing treaty provisions.” Planes to Be Increased It, continued: "That means a navy afloat of treaty proportions in all combatant categories, an air force of requisite size for employment therewith, necessary auxiliary vessels, and a properly distributed and implemented supporting shore establishment.” The committee reports that the number of vessels in commission will increase during L'37 from an average of 312 3 to 310.6, and that the number of planes will advance from 95 to 1259. The appropriation includes $182.500,000 for construction of ships. At present 84 are being rebuilt, three aircraft carriers, 12 cruisers, 13 destroyers of more than 1500 tons and 40 of :STO tons or less, and 16 submarines The new 193'? bill authorizes construction of two large battleships if any other nation begins such construction, and Great Britain has already declared her intention of doing so. An attempt in the House to have these ships taken from the bill got only 7t> votes. Fifth in Air Power The amount being spent by this country on its Navy next year is 'larger than figures fbr either Great Britain or Japan. Britain plans to spend *396,336,200 and Japan *169,000.000. At present Great Britain's naval strength is represented by 1,388,184 tons of craft; the United States by 1.353,085 tons, and Japan by 866,654 tons. However, this country ranks fifth among the seven air powers of the world according to "The Aircraft Yearbook for 1936.” It lists the United States as having 2060 planes, compared with 3600 for France, 3000 for Russia, 2800 for the British Empire, 2300 for Italy, 1850 for Japan and 600 for Germany.

He tells her Dl* is nslnr her as a stepping stone to soeeess and Linda becomes furiously angry. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORT CHAPTER EIGHTEEN THE things Linda couldn t think of to say to Pete Gardiner she remembered when she was dressing for Dix that night. Brushing her hair with swift, angry strokes, she finished Pete forever and found her eyes sparkling and her cheeks flushed. Dre.ssed in .scarlet .satin pajamas, she marched up and down the small area of her living room, darting quick glances at, the clock until she laughed in pure amusement. She had been going to vent her anger on Dix! Dix had always the power to change her mood. She couldn’t be sad or angry when she was with him. She couldn’t be independent or herself. It was disquieting to think she couldn’t be herself, that she was always playing being gay, happy, helpful. Thinking again of Pete’s words, her anger rose in Dix’s defense. It wasn’t because Dix w'as weak. It was only that Dix was someone to live up to. She felt the strain of the situation —strain that is almost unavoidable when courtship is delicately balanced on the wires of two carers. Courtship was an old-fashioned idea, Linda thought, and wondered what new word there was for it. Courtship was a lovely word for never-to-be-repeated days before marriage. Pete had given her sort of courtship, but she hadn’t loved Pete, and it took the tender contemplation of love to make it precious. nun WAITING for Dix, Linda found herself thinking of marriage. That she was going to marry Dix, she did not doubt. He had once asked her to wait for him. Waiting for what? Then he had come back and told her that he loved her. When a man loved a woman he wanted to marry her, didn’t he? Linda wondered, and suddenly she had to know. She could not go on for years waiting for Dix, knowing that the day would come when she would begin to dread losing him the day when she would hear that he had been out with another girl and she would lose her head and give her heart over to torture. Linda had never experienced that feeling, but she was woman enough to anticipate it with all its devastating pain. When that day came, she would go away and never see him again. It look Linda less than a minute to go to pieces, thinking of it. When Dix arrived he found her hands cold, her eyes dark and shadowed. "What’s the matter with my little girl?” he asked, folding her in his arms. nun LINDA didn’t try to be gay. Her eyes searched his face, expecting to find she knew not what. It was the same face with the same laughing eyes, the same easy smile, the same impatient eyebrows. She laughed nervously. "I’m tired, darling, and in a talkative mood. I want to play Questions and Answers. Would you like to?” "Anything you want to do is always all right with rne,” he answered, dropping to the sofa.

“You Wouldn’t Want To Know Ethel — Her Skin—Oh, My!” “Poor Rirl. In a lot of ways you would Ukp F.thpl—think her a grand person. She has wit and sparkle. A lovely figure. Nice clothes. Pretty hair. But her skin—oh. my!" There Is nothin* that can so quickly wreck a lovely complexion as the lack of sulphur In your diet. This lack can cause common acne, or pimples and blotches, itching skin, muddy or sallow skin, or even skin that is too dry or too oily. Termed the “beauty mineral" by diet authorities. sulphur is vital to the health of vour millions of tiny skin cells. It is an aid to proper digestion. It. is one of Nature's most valuable laxative agents. See to it that you get more sulphur. T)o this, and the chances are ten to one your complexion troubles will vanish of themselves. Let your meals consist mostly of fruits and green vegetables, as these foods are our richest sources of sulphur. Or . if you want especially quick results, add a pinch of washed sulphur to your diet. This can be done easily and pleasantly with the new washed sulphur compound.' called Sulfax. which you can get at any drug store. You merely take these little yellow tablets with your meals. If you seriously want to Improve your complexion, then start todav to improve it this right way. from within. Pitner eat more of (he foods that promote skin health and beauty, or get the little Sulfax tablets and take them. But see to it that you get more sulphur.—Adv.

She lit a cigaret for him. "You shouldn’t smoke. Think of your voice! And is there anything new about the voice?” “Yes. I dropped in to see Thome today. Thought I might have some trouble betting in, but he remembered my name and asked me in. Nice fellow. He’s going to make a sequence of his last picture over, and he might give me a chance to do two songs.” "But that’s wonderful! Dix, iarling, when he sees the rushes you'll be made and I . . . ” Linda didn't finish her sentence; she was about to say that her w r ork would be done. She sighed with sheer relief. The last day that she had to see Thorne could not come too soon. She was afraid of him. Afraid that he would make an overt gesture, and she would not know how to handle him. Dix captured her hand. Her other stroked his hair. “What are the questions and answers?” he asked. nun LINDA was glad that he asked that. It made it easier for her to begin. Nonetheless, she wondered if her voice was as bright and gay as she meant it to be when she answered. “I’ll ask the questions, and you supply the answers. Do you love me?” “Certainly. Next?" “Do you think you always will?” Dix laughed. “Don’t you read the movie titles, woman? Don’t you know that no orie knows the answer to how long he will love - ?” “How much do you love me?” Linda persisted. “Linda., you sound like a character out of a children’s hook. Am I supposed to spread my hands ‘so high’ or something like that? Or would you like me to fall on one knee, seize your hand in mine and lay my heart and hand at your feet?” He had given her the opening she had been hoping for. "Something like that,” 6he said, and addeL quickly, "Only that isn’t done any more, is it? Except that people still do get married. They just say, ‘Let’s fly to Yuma and get married.’ It’s not as romantic, but quite as satisfactory.” nun DIX didn’t say anything. Linda knew he must feel her heart skipping beats. She wished fervently that she had said nothing. Now Dix would think that she was pursuing him, and Heaven help the girl so unwise as to force a man to declare himself. Dix swung his legs to the floor, smoothed his rumpled hair. Anxiously she watched his frown give way to a smile. "You wouldn’t marry me, would you?” She didn’t say anything. "Come, come, darling, you’re much to smart. You’re a success-

ful woman, and I’m a starving actor. I couldn’t support you in the manner to which you're accustomed.” Linda was horribly embarrassed. “Skip it, Dix. I wasn’t forcing you into a declaration of any kind. We'll both forget it.” “No, you weren’t forcing me into a declaration, as you call it.” The straight brows had drawn together again. "But there is something on your mind.” "Please forget it,” she begged. “There is something on my mind, but it's pictures and not matrimony.” nun DIX did not dismiss the subject. “I always thought we’d get married. Not right now”—Linda’s whole being sang—“but would you have a date to run down to Yuma with me and take me on for better or for worse the minute I get a job?” "Sold,” she answered, and closed her eyes. Dix wanted to marry her! Days were like hours after that. She was jealous of her sleeping hours that took away her consciousness, made beautiful by her dreams. Weeks went by on the proverbial wings of the song she lived by. Romance was rampant in Hollywood, and it was as much as Linda could do to keep her secret to herself. She wanted to tell the world that she was Dix Carter’s chosen bride. Instead she listened and lived for the moment when she might make her proud pronouncement. 4. “1 suppose you’ve heard Honey Harmon and Pete Gardiner are romancing all over the lot?” Cora Jarrett asked her. "No, I hadn't.” That was all Linda said, but secretly she wished that Pete had rated a girl . . . well not quite Honey’s type. And romancing he was with the famous blond star! (To Be Continued)
