EVERY DAY IS NAVY DAY,
Cheer, brethren and sisters, pa
triots.
For today, by the grace of the
Navy League of the United
States, Jg navy day.
We have not yet discovered
what authority the navy league
has to grab one of the few re
maining untagged days, and ap
propriate it for its own purposes,
those may be.
And it seems to us that the peo
pie of the United States need a
navy day about as much aa an
Eskimo needs ice tickets.
m Must we have a particular day
to remind us of the glorious ex
ploits of the American navy?
■ ' : m Why, about all the average
American remembers of his early
schooling is concerned with the
44 Bon Homme Richard," “the Con
; stitution,” “The Lawrence," “The
Monitor,” the “Keosarge, and
the “Oregon.”,
The man who would have diffi
culty in remembering 10 gener
als can reel off without a stop
the names of a score of our na
val heroes, from John Paul Jones
to Secretary Wilbur.
The American people have
never had the slightest qualm
.
about their navy, even in those
days when the navy league de
cided* that we had none, and that
* it would hfiVf to get busy and
build one for us.
—v- This, unless memory fails; was
just after the conflict with Spain,
In which Dewey and Sampson (or
was it Schley?) demonstrated on
a couple of Spanish squadrons
that our ships were no good and
qur men conldn’t shoot.
Of pehraps navy day is intend
eo to Stimulate us to the crea
tion of a greater, better navy.
We are slightly handicapped by
a capital ship limitation agree
ment, which we had to work hard
to get.
Still, we have an idea that if
the American people thought the
navy neglected in the appropri
ations, they would let congress
know about it.
After all, it is the duty of Sec
retary Wilbur to point out the
navy’s needsfi not that of Col.
Robert M. Thompson.
In a band, the instrument most
easily dispensed with is the drum,
which is hollow and mades the
loudest noise.
The people of the United States
do not need to be drummed to the
pport of the American navy.
With them every day is navy
day.
IDLE MONEY NEVER GROWS
Science has shown that living
creatures can enter a state of
latent life and arise as though
from the dead years later.
Meantime, there has been no
growth and little deterioration,
since the organs of the body have
suspended functioning.
Money is like that.
If you place a quarter in a
safe place it may be found thou
sands of years from now and pos
sibly it will be regarded as a curi
osity, but ft will be almost the
same shape and the same weight
as it was when laid aside.
Money, like organisms, also can
, In healthful, normal surround*
ings, the baby becomes a man, a
leader of nations.
A quarter, put to work, becomes
a fortune.
There is the parable of the rich
man who upon deciding to go on
a journey divided his property
among his Servants. To one he
gave five talents, to another two
and a third one. The first two
invested what had been given
them, putting it out at interest
and doubled their money. The
third, fearful lest he should lose
the talent, which, by the way, was
worth between $1,200 and $2,000,
buried it. When the master re
turned for an accounting, he scold
ed the servant who had allowed
his property to remain idle, and,
taking that one talent from him,
gave it to the servants who had
shown more wisdom.
There is still idle money hidden
between mattresses, in old shoes,
and buried, but not so much as
formerly.
There is other money in the
representing its purchasing power
shops, factories and on farms,
in wheat, machinery and gold, and
working hard for its owner, and
for all of us.
The average young man just
starting In life, bases his choice
of vocation on easy money. The
result is an army of misfits and
failures. Do the thing your heart
is in, and do it better than any
one else.
You can’t retain a position at
the top without immense sus
tained effort, Those who are
climbing will bump you off. Shad
ow boxers never score a knockout.
A lot of fellows who are eter
nally wishing that some one
would give them a chance, mean
a chance to get money without
work.
The world is full of good begin
ners, hut the metal was of poor
quality and not equal to the con
tinuous pull demanded.
The man who can, does; the
man who can’t talks.

GEN. FENG YU HSI.
General Feng, who recently cap
tured Peking and forced the war
ring factions in China to declare
a truce, two years ago named
military governor of Shensi, pop
ulated with what is referred to as
the finest race in China.
Converted in 1912.
Back in 1912 Gen. Feng was a
major in Peking. Then he attend
ed evangelical services held by
Pr, John H, Mott of the interna
tional Y.M.C.A. He was convert
ed, immediately entered’ a class
for Bible study, and subsequently
united with the Methodist Episco
pal church.
It is told of the general that
once, capturing a brigade of reb
els and having them at his mercy,
he assembled the beaten soldiers
in his camp, read them a lecture
on patriotism, ordered that $10
be given each officer and $5 to
each soldier, and sent them home.
The insurgents from the south
were amazed and fell to weeping,
then arose and joyfully went
home.
Strict discipline.
Methodist and other mission
aries in China report that Gen.
Feng’s success is based upon
strict military discipline, plus the
esteem and affection of his offi
cers and men. His troops are bet
ter equipped, better drilled and
better paid than any other divi
sion of the Chinese army.
Troops Fight Better.
They have a reputation of
marching further and fighting
better than any other Chinese
troops. Their barracks would do
credit to the best drilled Euro
pean army, and their accoutre
ment is first class.
General Feng has made much
of athletics as supplementing the
army hill, and many of his offi
cers wear ornamental buckles
they have won as prizes in ath
letic contests.
General Feng was formerly
governor of Hunan, in the basin
of the Yangtsekiang, vhere he
ruled successfully over 8,000,000
people.
There he ordered his soldiers
always to ba helpful to the civil
ians and his men were welcomed
to the villages and homes.
In the army he restricted smok
ing, drinking, gambling and pro
fane language.
In the communities where he
had authority he prohibited opium
smoking and other social vices.

Setting down his ideas during
the interview, he said in part:

Indeed I a«f amazed that, beyond

made by Joseph J. Devine, a law
yer and war veteran of Bridge
port, Conn., that President Cool
idge, while vice-president, required
a fee of $260 for delivering a
patriotic address to ex-soldiers at

matter.
