comfort. The Civilian Conservation
Corps will be increased to more
than a half-million men, and of these
about 120,000 will attempt to recti
fy the conditions that produced
dust storms. Hard thinking and
hard work will have to go hand
in hand. The United States lacks
neither brains nor brawn. Science
will find a plan for stopping the ex
pansion of the Great American De
sert, and Science will be backed by
an ample supply of funds and mus
cle.
During the period of the Ameri
can Revolution, naval operations
were of small proportions and are
preserved in such simple accounts
as the one stating that the first
British flag was hauled down at
sea during that conflict, when the
sloop Unity, skippered by Jeremiah
O’Brien, captured the tender Mar
garetta off the coast of Maine. At
the time of the War of 1812, two or
three million dollars sufficed to main
tain the dignity of the country up
on the ocean. Former-day officials
and naval men would hardly know
what to do with the 460 millions
provided for marine defense in a bill
now before the House. Likewise,
they would not know what to do
if a modern battle ship appeared
in the offing. Fighting in oyster
boats and lumber scows is a thing
of the past, but if the men who pop
ulate the great ships that the cur
rent appropriation will make poss
sible, come up to the standard of
courage set by Jerry O’Brien and
others of his model, the money will
be well expended.
A little while ago a bus and a
railroad train collided near Wash
ington and fourteen were killed. The
driver should have stopped before
he crossed the track, yet how many
waste time by taking that precaution
when there is occasion for it in one
instance in a thousand? Trains
should not run through cities at an
open-country clip, but who would
put up with railway transportation
if the train had to check for every
crossing? We must go, and go fast
That being assumed, there remain
only the law that two solid bodies
cannot occupy the same space at
the same time, and the necessity for
finding some means whereby that
law can be obeyed without check
ing speed. Steam, electricity and
the triumphs of modern surgery
have arrived and caused wonder.
There is ground for still greater
wonder in the circumstance that
with everything else moving on- J
1 ward along the path of improvement j
the ancient grade crossing survives j
and offers the same hazard that
it did wiien the first railroad train
wheezed and rav/led through its
trial trip.
Fleet Maneuvers

Are Gratifying
To High Command
Fleet Moves Out for Most
Exciting Part of Maneuv
ers In North Pacific
(MV The Associated Press)
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii, May 1G
—The remarkable precision and in
tricate navigation displayed by the
main battle fieet in strategic deploy- -
ment on its recent dasli across the
Pacific from California to Hawaii,
was reported to be highly gratify
ing to the high command.
This first phase of the maneuvers
proved to be a valuable test of the
operation of the high seas battle
I
force between far distant bases, as
was the case, and officers indicated
and in addition demonstrated the ab
ilities of the world's most powerful
submarine division, and the high
success attained by both dread
naughts and undersea craft. This
was amply testified to by the very
fact that each division checkmated
the operations of the others at some
stage on the westward dash, proving j
the effectiveness of both. j
Aboard the U. S. S. Pennsylvania
in Hawaiian waters May 16, — All
of the vessels of the Navy’s white
fleet moved seaward from Pearl
Harbor as the black fleet bore south
from near the Aleutian Islands, for
the most spectacular part in the
fleet maneuvers.
