Look and see five little Chinese "hello girls," who manipulate all the busy lines in San Francisco's Chinatown. They are intensely Westernized, as evidenced by their willingness to be shot by the camera. These maids know no names of subscribers, but they carry a series of 1,600 phone numbers in their apple-like heads. Loo Kum Shu, who figures In the foreground, is boss of the girls and one of the most influential Chinese in the United States.

AVIATION CAMP MAY BE SET UP AT FTVTAYLOR Uncle Sam May Teach Flying to Indiana New Army Men.
PALLADIUM WANT AOS PAY
, LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept 14. News that an aviation section probably will be established at Camp Zachary Taylor was brought to Louisville yesterday morning by Major J. C. Keiser, inspector in the Signal Department, U. S. A., who came from Memphis, Tenn. Major Keiser did not go to the camp but instead visited certain plants in the city where parts for airplanes are
being made for the government. He Intends to leave for Akron, Ohio.
Major Keiser, discussing the prob
able location of an aviation here, said it was his opinion that the work would
consist principally of instructions to students in "ground work." This means, he said, students here would
be given thorough training in the
assembling of airplanes and other work students must know before they tackle the game of flying.
Can Get Credit The Illinois boys were jubilant over
learning that their commanding officers had made arrangements for them to obtain credit at the canteen. A
number of captains have failed thus
far to look after the comfort of their charges to this extent, and the Illinois soldiers were the objects of many envious eyes.
The Young Men's Christian associa
tion has opened its administration building at the camp. T. C. Dix, who
will be secretary, and his force were busy today arranging their new offi
ces. Two additional service buildings have been opened, one of which will be at the disposal of a division of the Illinois troops. It became known today that the Y. M. C. A.. Is considering the establishment of a building to be used by the Negro troops.
Navy Has Three Times as Many Ships Now as Three Months Ago; Secretary Daniels Declares
SPAULDING ON JOB
E. W. Spaulding first-class electrician In the navy has come to relieve Recruiting Officer Goldfarb. Goldfarb will spend several weeks with relatives In Indianapolis.
The man-eating tiger In India is rare since European hunters with heavy guns have entered the field against them. In former years one tiger was reported to have killed eighty men in a year.
ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 14. The remarkable development of the navy in the last year, was described by Secretary Daniels, in an address at the Naval Academy -to the graduating ensigns of the naval reserve. He credited President Wilson with giving the Initial impetus to the movement that has resulted In a great expansion of the service.
The graduates, one hundred and
seventy-four in number, are members of the corps of reserve naval officers who have just completed a three months intensive course of instruction to fit them for duty aboard ship or on shore.
"The impulse that has made possible our rapidly expanding navy," de
clared Mr. Daniels, "came from a
speech made by President Wilson in St. Louis on the third day of Febru
ary, 1916, when he declared there is
no other navy in the world that has to
cover so great an area of defense as the American navy, and It ought in my
judgment to be incomparably the most adequate navy in the world." Congress Takes Radical Step. "Following close upon the declaration of the president," continued Mr.
Daniels, "congress took a radical and forward step on its naval program. It abandoned the plan of a yearly authorization of new ships and adopted a three year building program. Shortly thereafter, it increased the naval appropriation from an average of fomer years of $145,000,000 to $312,888,060, and since the first of August 1916, has
appropriated for the support and in
crease of the navy $1,344,4184.896,
while estimates pending before con
gress carry an addition of nearly six hundred million dollars. The aggregate appropriation in little more than
a year, to make effective and impreg nable the nation's first arm of defense,
is including pending estimates, nearly
two billion dollars "I am not publishing a military secret when I say that while the increase In personnel in the past few months has far surpassed the increase
in material, there are three times as many ships in commission today as there were six months ago; and that ships and more ships, from enlarged and ever enlarging shipyards are coming to afford a place on naval craft to the thousands of patriotic young men who have crowded into the navy since the call."
