ABANDON HOPES OF PASSAGE OF NAVAL PROGRAM

ft Failure to Pass Supply Bills to Make Necessary Extra Ses sion. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Feb. 21. Hope of passing the naval appropriation bill, which carries Secretary Daniel's pro gram for three-year construction of a greater navy, waB abandoned Thursday by Administration leaders in the senate. The bill will be one of several of the great supply bills which will fail of passage at this session, thereby making the calling of an extra-session inevitable. : Recognition that it will be impossible to bring about the passage of the navy bill came after a subcommittee Of the Naval Affairs Committee had adopted the Daniels program calling for the construction of 10 capital ships, 10 scout cruisers and a large number of auxiliary vessels, involving a total appropriation of $746,000,000. The vote on the adoption of the program was 3 to 2, those favoring it being Senators Swanson, Pittman and Lewis, democrats, and those opposing It being Senators Lodge and Penrose, republicans. After the subcommittee had taken this action. Republican senators announced they .would not permit the bill to go through with the" incorporation of the three-year program. The democrats will endeavor to secure pasilnpo nf A rosnlntlnn ortn Hn n i n c nroa. ent appropriations until a new bill can be prepared and passed by the next congress.

WANTED - BOOKS for BOYS

4 Plaintield is the Indiana Boys School where 670 youngstert between the ages of eight and seventeen years are detained. A, few of these boys are really bad and a few more might with propriety be In a home for mental defectives but the majority the great majority are jnst boys. Many of them are handsome boys with clear, clean minds; some hare positive genius; and almost all Of them are affectinate and appreciative. About nine Out of ten of these boys are Tlctims; the victims of stupid courts, careless officials, disrupted homes, faithless parents, and other persons and Institutions that have robbed them of proper home training and the right sort of an environment, casting them finally into the boys' school, pretty much as wreckage is cast up by an angry sea. The school itself is not at all a dreary or forbidding place. On the con trary, It offers more pleasing surroundings and better care than most of the boys ever experienced before. There are comfortable Quarters, plenty of wholesome food, and warm clothing. There are trade schools and graded schools, and employment of various kinds to occupy the time of all the young stars. i But In one resepect there is a lack which Is positively pathetic. The mall library Of the institution Is absolutely inadequate to meet the demands made upon It. Each evening in all of the company buildings the boys hare two or three hours when they may devote themselves to reading, writing, or other quiet diversions. Naturally most of them desire to read and there is not a sufficient amount of reading matter on band. The library, as before Stated, is quite small and a large percent of the books It does contain are over the head of the average boy In the school. The consequence is' that the suitable books are read and re-read by these entertainment-hungry children who welcome the rare additions to their shelves with veritable cries of joy. Since the imperative material needs of the institution quite exhaust the legislative appropriation, it is proposed that the good people of Indiana be called upon to supply the literary deficiency. i In practically every home In this city, where boys have grown no, there are today boys' books that are never opened and never used fairy stories for children, and tales of adventure, travel, and school life. These books, which now serve no useful purpose, can be made to bring joy and happiness into the lives of hundreds of youngsters that simply yearn for them, and whose none too rosy existence they would bless most abundantly. j This paper is going to call upon the people of Richmond to contribute these books to" the good cause that best of good causes, the making happy of children. Go through your shelves at once, while the thought is with you, and make your selections, remembering especially those little tadgers of only eight and ten, and then bring these former treasures of your own more happily circumstanced children who have how grown beyond them, to the office of The Palladium. Richmond alone, by a proper response, can make that little library at the boys' school fairly bulge with the possibilities of pleasure and happiness for those whose lot is one which is at best pathetic, and which, despite the creature comforts and the institutional kindness Investing 1 smacks in a sense of childhood's tragedy.

Get a 2-ounce bottle, concentrated, and mix with simple syrup to make a full pint. Directions and guarantee of satisfaction are with each bottle. A pint lasts a long time for the whole family. It is cheaper and better than ready prepared medicines, but easy to mix. Adv.
