Says Church Has Duty. ‘“To care for an aged minister,” said { Mr. Huggings, “is not a_benevolence, it is a right, and a duty.” Rev. Freeley Rohrer, in his report of the Capital church extension commit tee, announced that the general council of the church had authorized continu ance of the survey of Presbyterianism in Washington by the National Capi- tal Presbyterian Commission. Among the proposals before the committee and the commission are those for building additional church units in Washington, and the prospect of a national Presbyterian building her Dr. John S. Marquis, secretary of the Board of National Missions of the church, was quoted by Dr. Rohrer as saving that in 20 years Washington probably would have a million popu- lation, and it was a problem for the national board to find where the people were going to locate and where new church units should be built | Dr. H.

BY WILLIAM HELM. d Economy for New Dry Navy Held When comes to upsetting cher ished plans of his Cabinet and cutting down thelr expenses, Calvin Coolidge proceeds with a detachment that at it times appears absolutely ruthless. His economy program has the same right of way as a railroad’s crack fiyer. It comes first. Personal friend- ships and wishes take second place. They have held this relation since the beginning, since the first day Cool- idge sat down at the President’s desk. Denby, away back at the beginning of the Coolidge administration, had some ideas about spending money to make the Navy more efficient. Lord, the budget director, cut Denby's esti- mate $76,000,000. Denby being out of town, voung Theodore Roosevelt, act- ing v, went to the White House and to the assembled reporter delivered himself of several caustic comments on cheese-paring and the like. Then he saw the President | He went away much more quietly | than he arrived. The cut stood and | Roosevelt kept his peace. Hoover has virtually remade the Foreign and Domestic Commerce Bu- reau. In extending our foreign trade, he and his capable bureau head, Julius Klein, are doing a job the like | of which W: ington has seldom seen before. But it costs money, money. Regularly they ask for more money and regularly Lord cuts down | their requests. And just as regularly } the President sustains the cut much | Coast Guard Feels Tightening. Mellon set out to abolish Rum Row. | He and his assistants took stock of | the unchecked flood of smuggled | liquor beating in with the Atlantic tides. They had but one agency to check the flood—the Coast Guard. | And the Coast Guard had only a do- or-die spirit—little else. It had no boats which could be spared from other pressing dutfes. It had no cilities. Al it had was the authority And Mellon might as well try to sweep back the flood of liquor with a broom as with what he had when he de termined on his course | So Secretary Mellon and his assist ants, ‘including specialists from the | Coast Guard, worked out a program | their needs. They figured on launching a new little navy for the Coast Guard. They wanted some more Coast Guard cutters anyhow, and they figured that after the job off the | tline had been done and Rum Row d become a memory, the new little | navy would come in mighty hapdy for ‘the Coast Guard's other regular | work All of which was sound business— | and costly. When they had put down | all the boats they needed and all the | men required to man them and all the | shot and powder and foodstuffs and gasoline and other things that made E?

That was a modest enough price for a brand-new navy. so Secretary Mellon stuck the papers in his pocket and walked over to the White House. ‘ There he sat down with President Coolidge. In the overworked par- lance of the day, Mr. Mellon sold the idea to his boss. Mr. Coolidge was strong for the new little navy and said so. About Cost. “How much will it cost?”” Mr. Cool idge asked. “About $30,006,000.” “Leave the papers with me, please,” resident requested. - fter Mr. Mellon's departure, White House sent for n. Lord. President Coolidge handed him the Mellon memoranda. . “T wish,” said the President, “‘you'd take these and look them over. I like the idea, but I don’t like the cost. Maybe you can cut it down. Try to do so, please, and let u know how you make out.” Lord took the papers and mulled over them for several days. Then he called a meeting hearing, Wash- | ington has come to call such a gather- ing—and asked the Treasury people, | Including the Coast Guard, to justify their estimate. They were ready, for having trained with Gen. Lord on previous occasions they had come to know the power of his blue pencil They had thought it all out in ad- vance and proceeded to tell what they ad in mind. Into this orderly procedure Lord threw a bombshell “There are hundreds of government- owned steamers now tied up,” he an- nounced. “Why can't we ask the Shipping Board to transfer some of them to you and thus avoid the neces- sity of building new ones?” Now Shipping Board vessels, in the Gen |DESIRABLE APARTMENTS FOR RENT in The Dresden and _The, Altamont Will Soon Be Ready for Inspection Hedges & Middleton, Inc.

But 1t took two days to convince Lord | that their point was well taken | Dismiss the Idea. “Very well,” he finally agreed. will dismiss the idea of using ping Board vessels’ And then they settled down, to discussion of the original estimate. | “By the wa aid the budget di-| rector presentl he Navy has 200 | destroyers tied up. They are pretty good boats, I imagine, for such a fleet | as you want. They can make 35| knots, vou know. Besides, they have other advantages. One of them is| economy. How about using them?” Now that was something else the Coast Guard hadn't either figured on or wanted. .However, the meeting ad-| Jjourned so that the Coast Guard men | could study the proposal. In the end, | it was adopted, although some of the enthustasm had departed, and Gen. | Lord went again to the President's desk. “Here is the estimate for the dry navy, Mr. President,” the budget di- rector said. “We managed to cut it from $30,000,000 to $13,000,000.” The cut stood—a saving of $17.000,- | 000. The President sent the revised estimate to Congress, Congress passed the necessary legislation, the Navy turned over the destrovers to the Coast Guard, the Coast Guard refitted them and began building its small boats, the entire fleet soon will be completed, and everybody, except the We | Ship smugglers, is sitting prettv.
