“SLASHING” NAVY COSTS
~ (The following article is by a prominent au

' By LAURA "PUFFER MORGAN
:5"!\10‘? that the danger of ‘“starving” the mnavy
;%&been averted for another year, thanks to the
Biudget estimates, we can cast’ aside speculation
#td lopk at the facts. The $61,000,000 “slash”
‘*’flflch ‘a few months ago caused shivers to runl
@‘3’anfi” down the spines of the Navy League
§£ ,;' th}ir friends, has shrunk to a decrease, as
w :d with this vyear's appropriationg, of
: ,1}37,00,000. Even the War Department’s so
} “voluntary cut of $44,000,000 announced a
»th’;ngo has been reduced to $36,000,000, only]
HA;OOD?OO of which ,is for military purposes.
"Pakingrthe army and navy together, the estimates
w fn@onal defense aggregate $644,650,000 com-‘
pared yith the current year’s appropriations of
$686,698,000, o decrease for the two departments
;1&4!,000. This ig less in proportion than the
»'fi,’l?ered by the State Department, the de
_}- of peace. Truly, as the Baltimore Sun
Hasisogaptly put it, the mountain has labored and
| Shoushs forth a mouse.
‘gmch we learn from the President’s Bud
‘get Mfissage, but this is merely the superficial
_:,_ t®%of the ecdse. Delving into the General
}Mt' on the Budget, we find other pertinent
facts Which give a more correct picture.
X*m‘u the Navy Department the estimated
‘amount of the new money to be appropriated for
‘the fiseal year 1933 is $343,000,000, but this does
‘ot cdyer the total amount available for expendi

from. the Naval Supply Account and $1,750,000

~ sums added to the cash appropriations make a|
mal if $350,750,000 which Congress is asked to
- male mvailable for 1933, or only $9,351,593 less

which will be carried over into next

;: gilgé:oo for 1933, or more than a. million dol
.~ lars a’day for the upkeep of our navy. Incidently
‘: is, :s nearly as can be estimated, precisely the
| same sum which will be expended during the
- curveng year. ‘

#frated, and not the least disturbing factor is
% {fléficiency approvriations, whose moneys

- Pastly to another. The point to be emphasized

_ these .récommended appropriations any more by

these estimates no fighting vessels will be de

decreaie of $15,000,000 for the maintenance and
_eperation of the fleet, which is due partly to Ad
'miral Pratt’s new “rotation plan” but also to the
' yeduced cost of supplies and materials.

THE ASH-CAN HAT
‘‘Believe it or not”, but from reliable
and authoritative sources, it is stated that
the “ash-can hat” is being sold by the
thousands and many of them find a ready
sale in the South.
These made-over discarded hats are
gathered from ash-cans, dumping grounds
and from stores that discard out of sea
son head gear. As authority for the state
ment, the secretary-treasurer of the Hat
'lnstitute. writing in the Business Week,
says: .
“New York has thirty plants devoted to
the resurrection of ash-barrel hats. They
are running full-and over-time, and their
production just now is put as high as 2,-
000 dozen a day. Chicago and St. Louis
combined turn out about half as many.
“Formerly, most of these old hats were
scld by the stores where men left them.
‘Now, 90 per cent of the remade hats are
rescued from the ash-barrel.
“At city dumps, hats are collected and
graded by quality. Then they are com
prest into 1,000-pound bales which are
bid for at central warehouses. They sell
at 15 cents to 25 cents a pound, and they
run about three hats to the pound. Dis
cards from stores are in better condition
than the waifs from the ash-heaps; they
ccmmand from $2.50 to $4.50 a dozen,
“Factories clean the felt, turn it inside
out, reblock with the addition of finishing
powders, put on new bands, insert fres's
linings and sweat leathers.
“If you do not look closely, they appear
to be new goods. Chain stores which give
free hats with each suit use them. Job
bers distribute them nationally to retail
ers. Great quantities are sold in the South.
“The refinishing plants sell them at
$7.50 to sl4 a dozen, allowing retail prices
of $1.50 te $2.50 each. So heavy has been
recent demand that some New York plants
were faced with a shortage until ship
ments from the trash heans of the Pacific
coast relieved the tension.”
Who knows but that the average -citi
zen wearing his ‘“‘go-to-meeting’” hat has
one of those hats fresh from an ash-can
or a dumping ground from some of the
large cities of the country. But what dif
ference does it make? If the hat has been
cleaned, presesd and shaped, looks new
and is comfortable to the head, what dif
ference does it make so long as it is not
labled “ash-can” hat. No one would sus
pect it being a discarded or made-over
piece of headgear, and so long as it is sat
isfying to the wearer, why bring up its
lorigin?
FEELINGS AND PRIDE OF CHILDREN
Children of tender age experience trag
edies in their lives which too often go un
noticed or understood by many parents. It
is natural for children to have ambitions
and pride for the things that go to make
up happy lives. In the schools of today,
some children are better dressed than oth
ers; some children are unfortunately con
stituted in their temperment, and possibly
from the training they receive from their
parents, these privileged children make
fun of the dress of theless fortunate ones,
whose parents are unable to provide them
‘with the finer and more comfortable
clothing and shoes. Such a case was re
ported in the press of the country recently
which should be a lesson to children who
are blessed with all the' comforts of life.
The news story reads:
“In a large city a fifteen-year-old girl
pretended sickness rather than attend
classes and face the daily persecution of
more fortunate classmates who made life
almost unendurable by their taunts and
jibes at her tatttered clothing and worn
out shos. Rather than submit to the ine
vitable humiliation this young girl crent
into the bathroom of her home, locked ‘|2
door and put the end of a gas tube.to her
mouth and inhaled the deadly fumes.”
- This child may have been over sensitive,
but the fact remains that her pride was
so crushed, she preferred death to facing
her classmates who had made her life mis
erable with their jibes and taunts.
AFTER DRUNKEN DRIVERS
Judge Jesse M. Wood, of the Criminal
Court of Atlanta, has set an example wor
thy of emulation by judges throughout the
country. A ycung man appeared before
him a few days ago and plead guilty to
being drunk twhile driving an automobile
that resulted in a serious accident.: The
young man was given a sentence of six
months to the chaingang. In imposing the
sentence, Judge Wood warned others of
what they might expect, if brought into
his court. In the course of his remarks,
the judge said: ‘“The driving of automo
biles by drunken persons must stop. It
is too dangerous and is daily placing the
lives of Atlantans in peril. I am going to
use every resource of this court to stop it.
even if I have to send every one of thé
drivers to the chaingang without the priv
ilege of paying a fine”. i
Judge Wood is to be commended for his
backbone and nerve displayed in trying
cases of drunken drivers of automobiles.
If such sentences were imposed by the
judges in all courts there would be fewer
accidents and deaths from the operation
of automobiles. :

A Little of Everything,
Not Much of Anything
BY HUGH ROWE
Many of the counties in
Georgia have called primaries
for the election of county of
ficers in order to get them out
of the way for the state and
national elections.
So far the Democratic Executive
Committee has taken no action,
but it is expeeted that Chairman
Crane will follow the usual cus
tom of holding an ‘early primary
for the election of county offi
cers, While no announcements
have been made, it is expected
that the present officials will stand
for re-election. It is natural to
presume, however, that there will
‘be opposition for some, if not to
all -of the officers, But as one
official said to us, “why mention
opposition—'‘a. - tall”. Well, that
woudl be nice—to be elected with
out opposition. ’
But here we are about to
get mixed up in politics, which
is out of our line, so we leave
it to the politicians to man:
age.
What we ‘are interested in more
than anything else is the growth
and development of the commun
ity. Municipal as well as com
mercial and residential improve
ments. Athens: experienced a
growth in 1931 that eclipsed prev
jous © years: Therc ' were ' more
building and construction of houses
and other buildings than in any
year in the last decade or a score
of years so far as that is concern.
ed. Let us keep up the good work
—it - will' bring - prosperity to the
community. - .
“Now regarding this rela
tivity idea—" began the man
who digresses.
“I have a high regard for a cer
tain kind of relativity,” interrupt
ed Senator Sorghuimn.
“Is "‘there more than one?”
“Oh, yes. The man with the
most relatives is likely to control
enough votes to give him consid
erable political influence.”—Wash.
irgton Star. ’
Well, we might mention the
subject of widening and pav
ino Lumpkin street, less the
officials might forget the im
portance and necessity for this
improvement. :
It is not an expensive project.
bhut it is one of the most important
for the 1932 program of the city
fathers. We do not presume
that there will be any opposition
in the ranks of the mayor and
council, and, it might be so ar
ranged 'as to ‘interest the county
commissioners in the improvemaent.
These gentlemen have always
shogn a liberal snirit of co-opera
tion with the city officials in all
movements for the general welfare
of the community inside and out
side of thé incorporate limits of
Athens,
Tate Wright, clerk of the
Board of Revenues and county
attarney, and Homer Nichol
son, county engineer, are two
officials of the county, who
deserve special mention for ef
ficiency. :
~ The office of the county com
missioners, presided over by Mr.
Wright, is one of the most impor.
tant departments of the county.
Ii; fact, it is a clearing house for
the administration of the county's
‘affairs and requires not enly long
hours of service, but it requires an
executive possessed with much re
‘'sourcefulness, diplomacy and abil
ity to masure up to the standard
as set by Mr. Wright. As an en
‘gineer, 'road and bridge builder,
Homer Nicholson enjoys a reputa
tion .of excellency. His, work in
this county stands out. as among

COMMERCE GROUP
OPPOSES STATE
LIQUOR CONTROL
Mrs. Armor Also Attacks
Plan to Refer Prohibition
To States
COMMERCE—A resolution op
posing re-submission of liquor con
trol to the states was adopted here
at a meeting in the First Metho
dist church which was addressed
by Mary Harris Armor, nationally
known dry crusader and temper
ance lecturer.
1t is estimated that between 450
and 500 people voted for the reso
lution,
Mrs. Armor spoke on, “The Glory
of Going On.” She said that “the
people of the United States will
never go back to the legalized sale
of liquor because of the intellignce
of the people; the courage and stay
ing power of our people; and the
faith our people have in God and
His word. .
_“The liquor people have not of
fered a reason or a plan that is
not an insult to our intelligence.
But we know something Dbesides
what we read in the wet dailies.
“It is well known fact that fewer
people iare employed and at-lower
wages in. proportion to the capital
invested than in.any other business.
Ax the .wets claims, the brewers
would be willing to pay a billion
and a half dollars in taxes, it sim
ply means that the money that is
now going to other businesses
would be diverted.
“The cry now is for re-submis
sion. Why should a man run for a
train he is already on? Prohibi
tion has not had any think like a
fair trial. It Is only twelve vears
old and during a large part of that

Look for thoroughness in Pontiac engineering. In all new Pontiacs, Syncro-Mesh makes
gear-shifting effortless —second gear is really quiet —and free wheeling permits you to coast
along at 'will. Then shift gears without touching the clutch. You get not just one, but all
three of these big improvements in all Pontiacs at no extra cost. =

been made to dupe the American
people with false propaganda re
garding President Hoover's econn
my program. The Navy is not be
ing and will not be starved.”
- Yet the same cld note is still he -
ing. sounded by the Big Navy
press. “To starve the navy and
imperil the ‘national defense.”’ de
clares the New York Herald-Trib
une, ‘on-the opening day of Con
gress, “would be the height of fol
'ly". Mr. William Howard Gerdiner
comes back to the attack and
iMessrs. Britten and Vinson and
)Sengtor Hale are solemniy plan
ning that their respective con:i
‘mittees shall investizate ‘be
charges. And the Army and Navy
‘Journal even believes that the
treatment of national defeuse in
the Annual and Budget Messages
of the President must give the
country cause for acute conhcern.
Turning to the details of the
Budget estimates for the War De
partment, we find that the net de
crease .in military items of $33,-
952,00 is due mginly to two fac
tors. One is the reduction in the
average cost of the daily ration
from 41,14 cents in 1932 to 37 cents
in 1933, which not only decreases
the subsistence cost in 1933 but
has made possible a carry-over of
subsistence funde of over $4,000,-
000. The other principal item is a
reduction of $18,445.990 in the
sarmy housing program. The sum
of $2,834,3z1 is also saved in the
procurement or. purchase of new
airplanes ana. their equipment.
The Budget estimate for 1933
provides for 12,000/ officers, 924
warrant officers, 118,750 enlisted
men, 6,500 Philippine Scouts, 195,-
000 officers and men of the Na
tional Guard, the training of 20,
687 reserves, and of 37,500 civili
ans in-the C. M. T. C., and the
‘instruction of 127,566 students in
Ithe R 0 1.0, In schools and
I'colleges. These numbers are vir
tually the same as those for 1932.
' Here, again, it should be noted
the reduction in expenditure has
been made without in any way re
ducing the war machine itself, or
as Secretary Hurley expresses it,
NEW PONTIAC SiX
