NAVY HEARS FUNDS
AVAILABLE FOR JULY
Broad smiles round the n,aa! .
statlpn this morning, owing to
a cable -received by the com
mandant, stating that funds
were available for July t x
penses, and that the threatened
.shortage of coin was averted
for the time being, at any rate.
' Whether the money became
aavilable through the passage of
an urgent necessity bill, or
. whether by joint resolution, as
was the case with army finances
recently, is not known. The
cable' referred to general orders
'issued July 6. which will not
reach -here for several days yet,
and until they .arrive' the '.navy,
will lie 'at sea." In a try' case,
pay and subsistence , are as
sured. :

If a man oeff rs you a good thing,
you have a right to wonder why he
does not keep it himself.
Give nearly any man a wife who
really loves him, and believes in -him

As ft tule, the possession of money
means industry, saving and old age.

It has been suggested that the gift
take the form of a house and lot to be.
presented tor Duke when he gets back
from his sensational string of victories.
The form of the gift will be determined
later by a committee of well-known
citizens who will decide how best to
put the fund to use in order- to show
Hawa,U's appreciation. In a lasting.
ut?iui way. ior xne young swimmers ,
