of the varying facts and figures presented by Chief Constructor Capps and Rear Admiral Hutch Cone chief of the Bureau cf Steam Engineering as a basis Mr Meyer insisted that this very proposition

purpose with responsibility rest ing In the bureau had one set of figures and the Bureau of Construction which was spending the money but was not re- sponsible had another sets pass- Ing through the managing constructor in charge of a yardthat It was high tfme some change was made to correct the possibility of such conditions continuing to exist At the conclusion of the session a publican member

pretty cheap and yellow and it often bores a fellow if he thinks about his troubles through the long and weary day if he talks about his sorrows laying bets that all tomorrows will be just as stale and somber just as grewsome and as gray Ah the world is what we make it if we fuss around and rake it hustling for a crop of trouble well have windrows high and wide but it will not pay for reaping and the thrashers will be weeping when they see the scurvy harvest that has been your boast and pride If you fire all thoughts of sadness and go raking round for gladness- if you just insist that worry take its grip and trunk and roam you are sure to find the mowing pays for all the work and sowing and the thrashers will be whooping on the day of Harvest Home All my metaphors are tangled and this rhyme is badly jangled but youll doubtless catch its meaning if you use a hook and line do not mind the ills that bore you nor the clouds that threaten oer you every day provides its solace and tomorrow will be fine Copyright 1910 by George Matthew Adams WALT MASON A This Sql d Oak Dining Chair ff18 5 r H cat t DICKINSON PRAISES YMC A Speaks at Annual Dinner of Army and Navy Branch Officers

daylight this morning the hos- tilities were renewed The result Is not stated Gen Mona is stated to be at the head of at least 1200 and it is this that causes some doubt as to the truthfulness of the report that Gen Vasquez with only onequarter that number of soldiers attacked him It is stated however that Vasquez was seeking to prevent a junc- tion between Gens Mena and Chamorro- at Chantales

Hyattaville is being in creased by an additional building of the same plan as the present main building making a total floor space of 25000 square feet Orders for the material structural steel lumber and mill work have been placed for this work and the contract for the iron work has been awarded to Dietrich Brothers Of Baltimore Md Good headway will be made in the next three weeks and It Is expected that the structure will be completed by spring The enlarged plant will give the factory- a production capacity of ten cars per day This daily output will mean a total of ZOCQ cars per year at total valuation of more than 5000000 This production is necessary to supply the agents through out the country with Washington cars The Carter Motor Car Corporation manu- facturers of this car have been unable heretofore to meet the demand owing to the size of the present plant and this has caused them to lose a number of orders for cars one order alone being for 7 cars valued at JleSOOO In addition the Southern market Is be coming an exceptionally good one and it Is with this end in view that the plant Is being enlarged It Is a greet credit to this city to see a plant of this kind flour ishing so near here as it adds materially- to the progress of this city and shows that manufacturing is profitable SENATE TALKS RECLAMATION Carter Hopes Administration Bill Will Pass l r Tuesday The

Rear Admiral Rodgcra HandledWithout Gloves at Hearlnj Cabi-
net Officer Denies that PaymasterGeneral Invented CostkeepingSystem at Yards Shot at Cone
At the executive session of the HouseCommittee on Naval Affairs yesterdaySecretary of the Navy Meyer appeared-to make his last appeal for the adoptionof his plan of naval reorganization Itwas as lively a session as any that bodyhas held since the controversy along thisline warmed up with the convening ofCongress
Secretary Meyer went after Rear Admiral Rodgers the naval paymaster general and handled him without glovesHe flatly contradicted Admiral Rodgersstatement before the Naval Affairs Com-
mittee that he was the inventor of thecost keeping system at navy yards andalso took exception to his assertion thatthe system was in operation In eightyards According to the Secretary thesystem is in operation in only one yardand not completely at that
Discussing Admiral Rodgers testimony-to the effect that the system cost noth-ing Secretary Meyer insisted that as amatter of fact It had already cost 520000
for its partial installation In the one yardreferred would costmore before In complete working order
Cnpps Indorsed PlanAnother Interesting feature of th ses-
sion was the presentation to the committee by Secretary Meyer of an official indorsement of the substance of the Meyerplan from Chief Constructor Capps whoIs now so bitterly opposed to it
This was a recommendation from thechief constructor that authority overhulls and machinery be divided in thenavy yards and was made to the thenSecretary of tho Navy some years agobefore the Newberry plan went into ef-
fect and before the chief constructorenjoyed the complete power which ha didunder
toBostonand 12000

of the varying facts and figures presentedby Chief Constructor Capps and RearAdmiral Hutch Cone chief of the Bureaucf Steam Engineering as a basis MrMeyer insisted that this very propositionproved that something was wrong underthe present system and that a changewas Imperative He pointed out that Inasmuch as tho Bureau of Steam Engineering whose money was being spent for acertain purpose with responsibility resting In the bureau had one set of figuresand the Bureau of Construction whichwas spending the money but was not re-sponsible had another sets pass-Ing through the managing constructor incharge of a yardthat It was high tfmesome change was made to correct thepossibility of such conditions continuingto exist

THE HARVESTL-
ife is pretty cheap and yellow and it often bores a fellow if
he thinks about his troubles through the long and weary day if
he talks about his sorrows laying bets that all tomorrows will be
just as stale and somber just as grewsome and as gray Ah the
world is what we make it if we fuss around and rake it hustling
for a crop of trouble well have windrows high and wide but itwill not pay for reaping and the thrashers will be weeping when
they see the scurvy harvest that has been your boast and pride Ifyou fire all thoughts of sadness and go raking round for gladness-
if you just insist that worry take its grip and trunk and roam youare sure to find the mowing pays for all the work and sowing andthe thrashers will be whooping on the day of Harvest Home All
my metaphors are tangled and this rhyme is badly jangled but
youll doubtless catch its meaning if you use a hook and line do
not mind the ills that bore you nor the clouds that threaten oeryou every day provides its solace and tomorrow will be fine
