gress by Secretary of the Treasury
Glass that $10,000,000 be appropriat
ed at this -session for beginning work
a navy yard capable of caring fbi
the Pacific fleet, which is now hall
of the American navy. Navy experts
have declared such a yard an urgent
necessity, the only plant fitted to re
pair, victual and outfit the warships
being at Bremerton, Wash., near the
Canadian border. This, navy men
point out means a voyage of hundreds
of miles in the event of damage to a
warship unless it be in the immed
iate neighborhood of Bremerton.
^ me Aiameaa sue nas twice Deen
favorably recommended for a navy
yard by the commissions of navy men,
first by the Helm commission in
December, 1917, and then by a board
of review, consisting of Rear Admirals
J. S. McKean, and C. W. Parks and
Commander J. C. Hilton. This latter
board accompanied Secretary Daniels
o%»the Navy when he made a person
al inspection of the Pacific Fleet in
San Francisco Ba«f.
The lands also liave been inspected
by the House Committee on Naval
Affairs, which was brought to the
Pacific coast for that purpose in Mar,
1919, by the Oakland Chamber of
Commerce,
The vote is expected to be practi
cally unanimous in favor of giving the
navy yard site to the government, the
Chambers of Commerce of both Ala
meda and the adjoining city of Oak
land, having conducted an old time
political campaign with spellbinders,
red-fire and bands.
The recommendation of the navy
experts is for an expenditure of
*®00,000 on the navy base, which is
to be completed in three years. Be
tween 15,000 and 20,000 men will be
employed. ~

EX-SERVICE MEN AT
ARIZONA UNIVERSITY
TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 30.—There are
now 138 former service men in train
ing at the department of government
^ vocational work at the University of
' Arizona, and about 200 others have
been schooled since the beginning of
the school year, according to the re
port of Prof. W. L. Darrow, in charge
of the department.
The majority of them are getting
\ vast amount of good out of the in
>
struction after they become adjusted
to the new conditions. Most of them
are improving in health, some of them
recovering sufficiently to return to
the east Tor replacement training
that the government furnished to all
disabled service men. Many of the
men go to California after completing
their courses, Prof. Darrow says.
A ‘number of new courses have been
«■ added to the list of studies and class
es in mathematics and English have
been formed to give the students a
more solid base on Avhich to build
their present line of training.
The gOArernment hospital, Avhich is
to be located at Tucson, will work in
conjunction with the vocational de
partment at the university, and the
two units will make the city a center
for disabled ex-soldiers and a larger
number of men can be trained In this
way. Many of the slightly disabled
veterans have come here at their own
expense in order to take advantage of
the government’s training and the cli
mate of southern Arizona.

Better boots than
you ever could
buy before
better because
Goodrich has learned how to make
boots in ONE SINGLE PIECE. It
makes the rubber tougher—^prevents
cracks, splits and leaks that are not
only annoying, but expensive.
Goodrich Boots are NOT MORE EXPEN
SIVE than the ordinary kind—-and we can
truthfully say that they are the
best, longest-wearing footwear
you can buy. From the first
day you draw them on your
feet, they’re comfortable.
Get them in any style you
please—the Goodrich Hip is
popular with fishermen (see
illustration).. Identify Good
rich Boots by the “Red Line
’Round the Top.”
