court house work in October she told
me that J. Campbell, the night super
intendent of the court house, was
keeping close tab on her work and
. she added that either she or Camp
bell would have to go. I told her
there was nothing to it. Later she
' telephoned me at the home and said
her baby was ill and that Campbell
would not let her off, adding that I
was the boss and could let: her go
home. I came down to the court
house. She was insistent that Camp
bell should be fired. When I re-
Y fused to fire Caaipbel she told me
she was going tcf wake it hot for me
and would make mc pay for it. Her
husband also, called on me at that
time. I deny everything in the
woman's allegations. There is noth-

Mrs. Janowski is 30. years old.
Two-Minute Sermons
Written Especially for Tbe Bee by Gipsy Smith
The first book I ever read, after
the Bible, was not masterpiece. I
can aee that now, bat never will 1
forget
the
impression it made on
that Uipsy uoy. it
widened mv range
of thought and
helped me to dis.
cover the world
and its wonders,
It was only a
novel, and was
called "Andrew
Marvcll and His
Friends." The hero
was a' -poet , ami
statesman who by
his stand for right
incurred the wrath
of the king. There
was a love story
in it that' made it
fascinating,' too.
From that time
on I devoured books to improve my
mind and to learn to control the lan
guage. ' Association with men ami
books has done this for mc, and will
do it for anyone.
But, Bible reading and fellowship
with God, through private prayei
come first .
Once a person has decided to live
a Christian life, these two re the
best steps to take in order to culti
vate the holy inward spirit of God,
Let it be understood .from one who
has 'passed through the experience,
that there are certain thinsts abso
lutely essential to the growth of the
Divine' within us. ' In the first place.
read the Bible.
The Apostle Peter prayed that the
people to , whom he wrote might
grow in grace and in knowledge ot
our Lord. Grace is a free gift, given
to those who are perfectly worthless,
as, an overflow gift to those who ac
cept Christ as their personal Savior.
I am quoting language every won!
of which can be hacked by the Holy
Word of God. Grace is the bestow,
al of overflowing love the love ot
God. But .knowledge is something'
I must seek after. I know the
Holy Spirit will help those to under,
stand the word who tearchcth, but
the Scriptures must le searched.
Une ot the I'saimists long ago
found this out and said: "Thy word
have I hid iri my heart, that I might
not sin against I lite.
If a man is a constant student of
the Bible he will know how God
feels about life, righteousness and
'sin, and how God would have him
act with regard to those about him
' Everything in the fchape of good
hooks that helps cue to understand
the Word is good to read. 1 lie li
hie is the master book of all age,
but there are several other books
that I can't travel without. The
writings of Spurgeon, . the great
London preacher, and of Dr. Joseph
iarker are examples.
Of secular literature I like George
Eliot,. Thackery, Dickens, Scott and
Lmcrson. 1 Oliver Wendell Holmes
pleases me, and many other poets
Will be found refreshing and helpful
to the spirit Most modern work
are rjoorly written, but there are
some American writers I am very
fond ' of. Jean Stratton Fortcr
knows the woods so well she might
be a Gipsy. Kate Douglas Wiggin,
Alice Hcgan Rice and the author of
"Pollyanna" are pure, sweet, healthy
writers. '
I like an author that gets at the
.heart of humanity without insult to
the' mind or taint to the soul. I
have no patience with the filthy lit
erature that leaves a bad feeling in
the heart, a had taste in the mouth
and a memory that makes a clean
soul shiver.

America to Urge
Halt in Programs
For Navy Building
U. S. Proposal for Anns Con.
ference Will Include Agree
ment to Keep Forces
Within Definite Limits.
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING,
Washington, Nov. 5. The Amer
ican proposals foe the limitation of
naval armaments uy me uig powers
were completed yesterday and will
be submitted to the delegates irom
Great Britain, Japan. France and
Italy as soon as the international
conterence gets unuer way.
Under the plan worked out bv
the Navy department and approved
by the American delegation, the
crrat naval nowers would agree to
halt competitive building, of battle
cratt ana Keep tneir navies wumn
limits strictly defined in the agree
ment, limits decmea ample lor pure
ly defensive purposes.
Capital Ship Taken as Unit
The capital ship is taken as the
unit of naval strength in tne Amer
ican plan. Each party to the com
pact would maintain not more than
the number of capital ships fixed in
the agreement and would construct
no additional capital ships' 'except to
replace those obsolete.
Each nation would be permitted
to maintain not more than a fixed
proportion of destroyers, submarines
and other subsidiary ships. Limita
tion of the number of naval airplanes
is recognized as a difficult problem
because of the ease ot evasion ot
an agreement in this particular. Air
planes constructed in large numbers,
ostensibly for commercial purposes,
would be instantly available for war
uses.
Panty With British.
',' Under the American plan, practi
cally a parity of the British and
American navies would be estab
lished with a wide gap between their
strength and that of Japan. This
would mean the abandonment of con
siderable naval construction already
provided for by all three nations. The
American navy is now nearly equal
in strength to the British and would
be stronger than the British in first
class capital ships and gun power
upon completion ot the present
American building plan.
The British government is known
to be in favor of an agreement which
would produce a parity of the British
and Amcrilan navies.

tppinei and Guam in return for the
pledge ot Japan not to fortify nut
lying Ulands in the 1'acitic, This
would be deemed a safe procedure if
the Auglo-Japanete alliance were
abrogated, for reasons that may be
come clearer before long.
In this connection it is worth re
porting that the Britih government
U understood to have taken the posi
tion that it would view with reluc
tance the traiinfer of the Philippine
to ny other power and to have so
informed Washington. This is doub
ly intereting in view of the reported
urcikion of the British government to
transfer a large portion of its navy
to the Pacific to be based on Singa
pore. The inference is that if the Anglo
Japanete alliance were dissolved
the British could be relied upon
actively to deter the Japanese from
attacking the Philippines instead of
remaining ' merely neutral as
Britikh would be obligated to do
so under the terms of the alliance
in the event of war between the
United States and Jap-n.
