The speech of Secretary Denby fol- lows in part: 1 know of no hetter way to avail myself of this opportunity to speak through this wonderful invention than to let it carry to you a message about_our Navy. “A Navy adequate in its size and efficient In_its operation has ever been looked upon as essential in peace and_in war to our national security. We entertain no aggressive designs toward any people. We de- sire only to promote the peace of the world and maintain our own rights. We have already shown our will to relfeve the world, so far as may be, of its burden of armament. “The limitation of arms treaty has now happily been ratified by Great Britain_and Japan, and it is hopee that through the ratification ot France and Italy it will soon be in full effect. In the meantime we will continue to live within the spirit of the treaty and, although it is not de sirable to carry out the actual scrap- w*nmzrun ntil final ratification, neVe less our naval policy will ba determined by the provisions ef: the es in its place. There was the sort of friendliness between departing British regiments and the Free State troops that al- ways exists between fighting men. There was an exchange of salutes and £00d will and godspeed everywhere as the British, with bands playing colors flying for the last time in Irish winds, went down to the sea through friendly, cheering crowds. Time is a solvent. Eighteen months ago no man might foresee the friend- liness of such a farewell. Then the guns of the British fleet might have been necessary to cover such a dis embarkation. On Sunday there was jasm and a real friendliness and bygones. For the British it was “Ireland, no and for the Irish it was a long. long dream come true. For England the adventure of 700 years was end- ing and for Iveland a new adventure was beginninz. As the last of the 3,000 British ‘Tommies” swung down the Dublin quays to the waiting transports, Ire- land was talking of a new peace and the hope of a Christmas truce between Irishman and Irishman was spread- ing over the island. Erin's victory over the British is now complete. The invader has gone his way. Irishmen are alone upon their own soil and an- swerable to their own souls.

While the provisions of the treaty limit only capital ships and airplane carriers. the determina- tion of the ratio of strength in these classes established a basis for our naval strength in all respects which permits’ of a naval policy whose maintenance can never give rise to suspicion of our motives or tempt to the resumption of competitive build- ing in naval armaments. “Aside from the purely military necessity of providing for the na- tional defense, it must not be forgot- ten _that if our trade upon the sea is to be free to come and go and en- joy in fact as well as in theory the freedom of the seas in peace and in war, it must be protected by an ade- quate navy.

When she had finished the five, though, the old restiveness had come back, and at that psychological “moment, someone let drop the suggesti6n that, being beau- tiful, she might screen well and take up an acting career. P So she took up acting. as Mr. Brige: might say, and to date she has ap. peared in seven pictures. Strange as it may seem, Miss La Marr really wants to play heroic roles—the part of the sweetheart of the hero—but her black tresses have condemned her to “vamp” roles, just as Alice Terry's blonde hair has cut her out for the opposite type and denied that actress the contrary ambition to play the parts of adventuresse: +—— Making Own Phonograph Records. From the Pathfinder. By talking into a phonograph you can record your voice or musical ac- complishments by means of a non- breakable metal blank lately put on the market. It will record any sound without changing the needle on ordinary phonograph and will re- produce the sound with the same needle. It looks like an ordinary rec- ord, but is made of a metallic sub- stance closely resembling aluminum.
