President Roosevelt followed up this warning by saying that $150,000,000 would have to be added to next year's Navy budget if work was to go ahead on six new battleships. Besides expanding the fleet and the ground forces, air forces must be geared up by mass production of planes, as they are doing abroad (see p. 18). And private utilities must be stimulated to spend $1,000,000,000 if the U. S. is to have adequate wartime power resources.

...four-year tenure here. The enemy starting backfield is one of the dog-gonedest scoringest concoctions ever put together, with Captain Bob MacLeod, who has hit pay territory 19 times in 19 straight frays, leading the procession.

A neat combination of freighter and passenger ship, her high-set midship superstructure is calculated to provide first-class passenger comfort at tourist rates ($253 round trip), while her low-slung...
...immemorial competition among the fishing boats of the Grand Banks fleet is being continued off Gloucester this week as the Canadian and American champions are racing for the coveted International Fisherman's trophy. With each of the able black schooners having one victory under her belt after races in light breezes more reminiscent of July than October, another closely contested series between the two boats is anticipated, and it is to be hoped that it will continue in the sportsmanlike manner that has characterized these races in the past. The wholesome way in which the international competition that the races...
