f Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt's
7 announcement that the Charleston,
S. C, navy yard. Be n Tillman' frid.
i it to be closed it regarded a an
J initial concession by the admiuistra--,'tion
to the movement Lmnthrd by
:1 Senator McC'ormii k, Illiimi, to trim
r.the "pork'' out of the shore rstab
lis)imentt of the navy.
p. "Pork" political "pork" uith a
monetary attachment ha hreii as.
fjsoriated in the public mind with
i." rivers and harbor appropriation and
jvith appropriation for public build
-ing. contained in legislative and ap
tTpropriation act of congress. It ap
J pears now that the navy not the sea
fining navy, but the management on
."land of the Navy department, with
jti hundred of station for this, that
.znd the other thing is to occupy

'VAnd, ai in the case of the riven and
iiarbors and public buildings pork,
the charge will be made that mem
bers of congress intent upon getting
all they can for their districts in the
ay of federal appropriations have
been the chief offender.
, McCormick Took Part.
.'; Senator McCormick took a promi-
runt part in the debates on the navy
ij appropriation bill recently passed
! which carried in the neighborhood of
;; $300,000,000, "calling . attention to
i'' many of the items for shore stations,
j some of which have been increased
,: over the appropriations of last year.
Finally he introduced in the senate
;! a resolution providing for the ap
i; pointment of a special joint commit
'.' tee of congress to investigate the en
;; tire question of the management of
:; the navy ashore and the shore sta-
tions. He had no criticism to make
;; of the management of the navy at
'' sea. This resolution was blocked
j' when presented and unanimous con
; sideration was requested by Senator
Dial of South Carolina. It went to
' the scnafe naval affairs committee.
;! But now it is understood that the
!." resolution is to be reported out with
the approval of that committee, and
that Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
of the Navy department lias indicated
that the department itself is desirous
!: of having consolidations made in con-
nection with Shore stations, where
; they can be made advantageously and
f: with resulting ccono'my. With a fa-'
; vorable report from the nayal affairs
committee it js to be expected that
!.' the resolution' Will be adopted by the
; senate and that the house. will fallow
;: suit.
: List Is Formidable.
A few days ago Mr. McCormick
; had inserted in the Congressional
:.' Record a list of all the shore stations
'.' of the jnavy, a list so formidable in
its proportions as to be almost stag
U gering to the average citizen. Air
stations, ammunition depots, marine
barracks, naval bases, naval districts,
: and, in fact, every kind of station
: with which the navy has to do is
included in the list, which contains
some 300 stations.
The contention of Senator McCor-
; mick and others is that there is
; waste in maintaining so many shore
stations; that many of the stations
could be consolidated and others
i abandoned with a great saving to the
" government. And the joint com
: mittee, if it is provided for by con
. grcss, will be urged to report cyi
that phase of the matter.
It is not to be expected that the
navy can do away with the great
' navy yards which have been con-
structed at Boston, Philadelphia,
New York, Washington and else
: where. They must be maintained if
' there is to be a"' navy. But the
myriad of naval stations along the
coast can well de reduced, it is said,
and the activities, if needed, consoli
dated about the larger yards and
depots.
' Nor is it to be expected that the
naval appropriations for the United
States will be reduced now to a figure
comparable with the appropriations
before the war, in view of the size
of the navy which the country is to
maintain under the treaty agreements
wben they are ratified by all the
rations. But it must be remembered
that in 1913 the appropriations to
taled $123,000,000 and- in- 1916 only
$149,000,000, or one-half what they
are for the next fiscal year.
Reo Speed Wagon Serves as
' Traveling Plumbing Shop
"One of the most unusual serv
- ices given by a Reo Speed Wagon is
that of a traveling plumbing shop,"
according to J. M. Opper of the
Jones-Opper company, who has just
received a description of the unique
body which has been mounted on a
Speed Wagon chassis by P. E. Cor
nell of Kansas City.
"Mr. Cornell's idea was to give
people the advantage of service w ith
out wasting time in going back and
torth to their shops for material.
"It has been conclusively
deruwistratcd by this Speed Wagou
plumbing shop that better service
can be given at cheaper rates and at
the same time enable the owner to
make more money for himself than
the phirnber who has a shop to con
tend with. Mr. Cornell claims he can
go a week without returning to his
. storehouse for replacements. The in
terior of the Speed Wagon plumbing
shop is arranged with shelving, draw
ers and a workbench and is fitted
with all the modern devices and tools
needed in the plumbing trade." .
Cadillac Sedan Popular
Car. for Touring Purposes
"The Cadillac type 61 sedan is
growing more and more popular as
a car tor touring purposes, says i.
D. Foley, salesmanager of the J. H.
Hansen Co. lhe sedan is a car
roomy lor five persons. The truck
on the rear, contains two large suit
cases entirely protected from dust and
water. The car handles easily, as do
all Cadillac models, and has the
Cadillac characteristic, riding ease
and readability. The winds are
easily iraised and lowered and af
ford complete protection to the oc
iBjantt of. the car," .
Proprietor of "Biggest Little Store" in
City Goes 14 Years Without Day Off
John Yaverek and
John Yaverek has spent practically
oil the waking hours of every day in
the last 14 years behind the counter
of the "biggest little store in Oma
ha," .northeast corner of Sixteenth
and Locust streets.
"I haven't taken a single day off
in that time, said John with a con
tented smile.
"Not even Christmas or Fourth of
July?" ;
"No. I'm open every day in the
year. I'm here from 11 in the morn
ing till midnight. People know they'll
find the store open, ready to serve
them most any time."
Sermon to Alarmists.
Mayors, governors, presidents have
been elected, empires and kingdoms
have fallen, the world has been con
vulsed. But John has gone his quiet
way, content to serve in his small
sphere with faithfulness.
He s a sermon to those who view
with alarm the jazzv world of to
day in which they tell us everybody
has to have constant excitement.
John calls his emporium the "Mon
trose Cigar Store, 1'ishing Jackie,
Sporting Goods. Flash Lights, Etc."
It has grown so that the h.tc. in
cludes nearly everything.
Though the room is no more than
'0 feet square, it is .crammed with an
astonishing variety of goods. They
hang from the ceiling, they fill nu
merous .show cases, they cover the
floor and" the counters.

T" Notes
This summer the entire boys di
vision rooms are being repainted, re
decorated in many cases remodeled.
The repainting will not hinder the
regular class work, daily use of the
reading room, games, or regular
gym and swimming classes. With
the new coat of paint, new floor cover
ing, new books, new magazines and
binders, the boys' division will be all
decked out in new clothes.
Summer is a good time for "Y"
boys to bring their friends as visit
ors, to entertain them in the clay
room, the gym and in the swimming
pool. The water is being changed
every day and this assures the finest
and very cleanest possible place for
boys to swim. The books and
magazines are an interesting feature
for the many members.
Idle rooms are not profitable; let

deirable tenant for. you,

Camp Honor Essay
' For second year tests at the recent
Camp Sheldon period for Omaha
boys an essay on "What It Means
for a Boy to Be a Christian" was the
requirement. The best essay, limited
to about 50 words, was written by
John Madgett, who has beeri-to camp
several sessions. t It follows:
"If a boy is a Christian it means
that he is a fellow of a happy dispo
sition. He will always be unselfish,
have clean habits, thoughts and
speech. He will believe in the Bible
and abide by those teachings. He
must control his evil temptations and
control himself. He must be trust
worthy and believe in prayer and in
God. To be a good Christian you
must abide, by these rules."
John Madgett was . an assistant
leader in camp this year in one of the
finest cottages and with one of the
best leaders. As an assistant leader
he made a remarkable success. John
has been an honor boy in camp for
three years. His unselfish efforts for
others is one of the outstanding fea
tures of his character. The past win
ter he attended school at St. Joseph,
Mo. This summer he is home with
his parents at 312 ' North ' Fortieth
street.

Junior Employed "B"
Have Summer Rally
Last Friday night the employed
B class of the Boys' division, Y, M.
C. A., held a summer rally at the
"Y". More than 150 junior employed
boys and their friends gathered in
the social rooms of the "Y" for the
big party, which is the biggest event
for the summer night class.
Nearly every member brought his
friends with him and the fun start
ed with the gym class at 6:30. At
7:30 all boys went for a long swim
in the pool.
After the swim the party assembled
in the auditorium where the boys en
joyed two reels of movie comedy. A
peanut scramble closed the evening's
program.
These boys all have jobs which
keep them busy during the day and
at night they come into the "Y" for
their "Y" privileges.'

Nash Four Shows
Economy on Long
Trip From Coast
Car Averages 2." Miles to
Gallon in Run From
Los Angeles to
Kenohba.
Of interest, from the standpoint of
economy to the automobile owner
who is planning a cross-country tour
thi summer, i the experience of
William Milenz and hi wife who
have just arrived in Kenoslu after
an overland trip from I.o Angeles in
their Nash four.
"Our total gasoline expense for
the entire rtip of 2,801) mile, iuclud
ing detour, wa exactly $34.34, even
with gasoline at certain filling sta
tions in the west a high a 45 cents
a gallon," said Mr. Milrnz. "Our cost
for oil was a.n even ?7, thu making
the total rest of our transportation
$41.74. or $20.87 apiece."
Complete Log Kept.
From a complete log of the trip
made by Mr. Milenz, it is shown
that the average cost of gasoline
was 31 rents a gallo,u and that a
total of 112 gallon were used, thus
making an average, including neces
sary mountain climbs, of 23 miles
to the gallon. The car arrived in
Chicago with the same air in its
tires that was put in at Los Angeles
and the same water in the radiator
put in at -Albuquerque, fn addition
to the two passengers, the xar car
ried 1 .000 pounds of luggage, includ
ing a camping outfit.
Although the roads for the most
part were good, they were rough in
sections, including one stretch of 200
miles over what Mr. Milenz de
scribes as ragged rock.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Milenz were en
thusiastic over the tourist camp sys
tem introduced by various towns for
the benefit of automobile travelers.,
"They are just splendid," says
Mrs. Milenz. "Most of the camps
provide every convenience imagin
able. There are facilities for cook
ing, provisions may be had at rea
sonable prices and excellent super
vision over all arrangements is ex
ercised." Air. and Mrs. Milenz came east
over the southern route to Kansas
City 'and then on to Jefferson and
Lincoln highways to Chicago.
Air, Steam and Water
Eliminate Troubles
Probably the most noted improve
ment in the American method of
manufacturing automobile motors is
due to a simple yet very important
item abundant use of air, steam
and water according to George H
Hannum, president and general
manager of the Oakland Motor Car
company.
Air, steam and water are three
elements introduced in the manufac
turing of .the automobile motor that
are doing away with many of the
hitherto troubles that developed in a
motor and for which no explanation
could be giveh, according to Mr.
Hannum.
"Grit and other foreign substances
very small particles, to be sure
got into the motor on final assembly
because the various parts were not
thoroughlv washed," said Mr. Han
num. "These particles did untold
damage and it took years before the
cause of this trouble was thoroughly
understood. Now it is practically
eliminated in the larger and more
modern automobile factories."
The Oakland Motor Car company
is lavish in the amount of com
pressed air, steam and water that is
used after the various operations
and on the various parts that go into
the finally assembled motor. Steam
jets, compressed air, washing com
pounds are used in various opera
tions from three to 12 times before
final assembly.

Car Sales Show
Large Increase
Willys-Overland Reports '494
Per Cent Gain in Cen
tral West.
Willys-Overland, during second
quarter, just finished, has had one
of the best businers periods in years,
according to Willys-Overland offi
cials. Shipments for the next quar
ter as foreshadowed ,by orders on
hand should exceed 50,000 cars.
Compared with 1921, the increase
in Willys-Overland sales for the first
five months of 1922 throughout the
United States js 348 per cent.
The south particularly has come
back with a great increase. The
total increase for the south is 406
per cent.
The central west,, the territory in
which the Omaha branch is located
shows an increase of 494 per cent,
which is the largest increase in any
territory. The central division shows
an increase of 405 ner cent and this
includes two localities where the in
crease in particularly significant.
These are the Toledo district and
the Detroit district. Toledo is the
home of Willys-Overland and De
troit is the home of Willys-Overland
competitors. In these two localities
Willys-Overland sales have shown
extraordinary high percentage of in
crease this year.
Willys-Overland officials attribute'
this tremendous growth in sales to
the extraordinary economy of the
Willys-Knight Overland cars and the
extreme care usetLto make every car
as nearly as possible a perfect auto
mobile. Cadillac Business in This
District Good, Says Hansen
"Cadillac business in this territory
is constantly on the increase," says
J. H. Hansen of the J. H. Hansen
Cadillac Co. "Durine the month of
June we delivered 30 new cars and
40 used cars. Business in outlying
territpries is fast improving. We
have sold several cars in the far west
ern part of the state and the inter
est in the Cadillac is growing among
people who wisely demand dollar for
dollar value."
A Two-Passenger
Coupe for only $1285
Oakland's newest achievement a six-cylinder, two-passenger
Coupe for $1285 offers an unequalled value, outstanding and
impressive.
Professional men will appreciate not only its fine appearance
but its unwavering dependability in all weathers and under
all conditions.
Its light weight, convenience and readability will instantly
appeal to salesmen, business men and to all those who must get
around quickly, comfortably and surely.
Quality is inherent in this new' model. Its substantial body is
built exclusively for this coupe; it is neither a makeshift nor a
compromise body.
Its six-cylinder overhead-valve, Oakland-built engine, backed
by the 15,000 mile written guarantee assures an abundance of
quiet, supple power. In every way, it is a sturdy, powerful,
dependable car, easy to control, economical to maintain and
very pleasing to drive.
