P - The .Itjl Shlmpo, which has been one of the strongest supporters of the government's naval program, says today that if tho world consents to arrest the race for naval supremacy there Is no reason why Japan's plan for eight battleships, eight battle cruisers and IL'0 submarines to be completed by 1ILV5 should not-be modi tied. The newspaper culls on the Japanese (iovernment to take the inltiutne and IMdnts out that the current exix-ndlture for islucation is less than one-tenth of the expenditure for armaments.

Mr. Houston is standing against every sort of measure which would pro vide another sluiceway down which government, .funds might run, and he I nnd his aides nre studiously avoiding I giving advice or suggestions or mitkliift I any recommendations. With two months vet to serve the Treasury head has j ieft no room for doubting he Intends neither to handicap nor to nid new leg islation. facing $2,000,000,000 Deficit It wns n rnthcr stunning blow tr many members of the Senate when the secretary calmly Informed the Senate llnnnce committee that the government would hnve a deficit of more than isl'.OOO.OOO.OOO next June, nnd that at the end of June. 1022. the deficit still would exceed $l.r.0n.000.000.

"(g) To promote a spirit of co-oper-ntion among the posts in their re spective districts for the development of American Legion principles, espe cially for the carrying out of the fun damental principle which pledges us to mutual helpfulness." (;irord College Post, No. .120. with headquarters at l."02 Poplar street, hns elected the following officers for the year: Commander, J. M. Hamilton; firt vice commander, William Jami son j second vice commander, Uobert U. Frey; adjutant, Charles F. Stevens; finance officer, William V. Killers; county committeeman, Charles P. Stevens. Although John W. Kimes has lefv the city and is now in Mlack Mountain, N. C, lie has written to David H. Simpson, commnnder of Walter M. Gearty Post, continuing his member ship here during the ensuing year. James J. Marry Post burled the body of the late Sergeant Clinton M. Lynn from the residence of his parents, 112V South Fifty-lourtli street, with mili tary honors yesterday morning. This legionaire was in Company M, 14,'th Infantry, of the Thirty-seventh Di vision, and died in France November 15, 101S. from wounds received in the battle of Sedan. Mr. Houston's disposition merely to provide technical material for legis lative consideration was borne out In his discussion of the soldiers' bonus, ns it was In his testimony against revival of the war finance corporation. He simply informed the committee of the results the measures would have with respect to the government's finances. He said he was opposed to them nnd molded debate with members of the committees. Cloak room discussion today related not to how much, but rather how little, the Senate finance committee was able to draw from the treasury head. His demeanor was courteous, but aside from presenting fncts which proponents of the bill were not especially prepared, to combat, Mr. Houston may be said to have effectually dodged the opportunity to take the usual hand In the framing of legislation. Senator Penrose's assistants here have leased n fifteen-room suite for him In Wardmnn Park Inn, n big apartment hotel in the Northwest, Two Jnpnnese sen ants have been installed, and everything is in readiness to re ceive him should he find it possible to come. It is assumed he will not take his Senate seat ut once, even if he returns as expected. The Wnrdman Park Inn will be (juicier nnd affords more seclu sion than the Willard, where the sen ator stayed for several years, and it will be possible for him to see ns many or ns few visitors ns he desires. 'FIREBUG' REWARD HELD UP Fayette Commissioners Withhold $5000 Offered for Arrest I'nloiittnvn, Vn., Dec. 28. (My A. 1'.)

State police and the county officers today continued their search for the incendiaries, while careful guard was maintained throughout the district.

Naturally, they must have greatly deteriorated. Many motor truck owners fail to appreciate the rapid deteri oration which takes place when their equipment is not stored or garaged where it is protected from the elements. Trucks which are permitted to stand idle and uncared for in the cold, sleet, rain or hot sunshine soon become badly damaged and unsafe. Internal as well as external parts, cylinder walls, bearings, frame parts, bolts, nuts and rivets become pitted and rusted. Do not fail to protect your investment in motor trucks as you would any other piece of machinery when not in use by keeping them in a dry, covered place and properly oiled and greased.
