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.

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.

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.
