The Most Reverend James E. Kearney, bishop of the Salt Lake diocese of the Catholic church, visited several hours in Helper Tuesday afternoon, continuing to Price where a banquet was held in his honor that evening at Notre Dame school. Present at the banquet were many notables and prominent members of the local Catholic organization. Walter C. Gease extended the expression of welcome to Bishop Kearney on behalf of Carbon coun ty. The Bishop responded, and during the evening presented a survey of the trial and crucifixion of Christ, illustrated with slides, and gave a very interesting talk. Several beautiful songs were rendered by the choir girls. Bishop Kearney is making his first official visit to the diocese in eastern and southern Utah.

The United States navy of today live oak and red cedar; the bolts 24-gu- n consists of the following vessels in commission: Fourteen battleships, 9 heavy cruisers, 10 light cruisers, 102 destroyers, 54 submarines, 3 aircraft carriers, and some auxiliary craft. This is a puny fleet if compared with the United States fleet of 14 years ago. The battleships, which are the most powerful vessels, possess the following approximate characteristics: Length, 600 feet; breadth, 95 feet; draft, 30 feet; displacement, 30,000 tons; speed, 20 knots; main battery, 8 to 12 guns, 14 or 16 inch caliber; secondary battery, 12 to 16 guns, complement, 80 officers, 1200 men. Heavy Armor Shell Battleships are heavily protected with armor and may be described as floating fortresses. They combine the maximum possible offensive and defensive qualities; the resulting weight naturally is at the expense of speed. Battleships have a maximum speed of about 20 knots as compared with 30 knots for cruisers- - and destroyers. The knot, or nautical mile: Seven knots in round figures are equivalent to eight land miles. Battleships are named after the states of the Union, viz: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Maryland, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Pensylvania, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. Heavy Cruisers Our ciuisers, both light and heavy, are named after cities. The nine heavy cruisers now in are called Salt Lake City, Pcnsacola, Augusta, Chester, Chicago, Houston, Louisville, NorthSix hampton, and Indianapolis. more of these cruisers now are being built, viz: the New Orleans, Portland, Astoria, Minneapolis, Tuscaloosa, and San Francisco. When these vessels are completed in 1934 the United States will possess a total of 15 heavy cruisers. The heavy cruisers show the following characteristic's: Length 600 foot (same as that of battleship); breadth, 00 feet (one third k3S than that of battleship); draft IS feet; displacement, 0500 tens, o they are referred to as ships of 10,000 tons); speed, 30 knots; maia battery, 9 to 10 guns; ccm-missi- al-th- anti-aircra- ft battery, 4 complement, 40 officers, 530 men. Heavy cruisers are limited by guns. They have treaty to very little armor with resultant decrease in protection and increase in speed. Those vessels each carry 4 planes which can be catapulted into the air and used for scouting purposes. The Light Cruisers The light cruisers, which are 10 in number, are generally similar to th! heavy cruisers in shape and speed characteristics. They are, however, about 25 per cent smaller and are known as 7300 ton cruisers. They carry guns instead of guns in the main battery. These ships also are named after cities, the Cincinnati, Concord, Detroit, Marblohoad, Milwaukee, Memphis, Omaha, Richmond and Trenton. It may be of interest here to note some of tha characteristics of the famous frigate Constitution, Old Ironsides, which was a cruiser at the close of the eighteenth century. Being speedier than the heavy ships of the line, frigates were generally used for scout duty. The Constitution carried 44 guns Ra-lei,f,- h, Continued on Page Two BUY AT HOME. SHOCKING FACTS LEGION PLEDGES ITS SUPPORT In an open letter to all American Legion posts this week, Louis Johnson, national commatider, urges all posts at special meetings to pass resolutions expressing loyalty and support to President Roosevelt In his economy program. "The Legion has every faith in the discretion, fairness arid the justice with which the President will deal with this problem," he says. - ,(,.-,'.. With Veteran leaders thruout the nation declaring they will back President Roosevelt's program of economy, the following from the Veteran Racket, by Lawrence Sullivan in the April issue of the Atlantic Monthly i3 of timely interest: When ths federal government closed its books for ths fiscal year 1D32, the American people were shocked to learn that total revenues from income taxes, Individual and corporate combined, did not quite cover all the costs of the Veterans' administration services for the 12 months just ended. Incredible as it seemed, the fig ures were indisputable. Income tax collections for the year, as official ly reported by the secretary of the treasury were, $1,057,335,853, while the combined disbursements veterans pensions, hospitalization, disability allowances, construction, bonus payments, and administrative expenses came to the neat sum of ?l.034,253,066. If we mny assume that existing laws will not be further "liberalized," to use the word of pension lobbyists in Wellington, the grand total of all outlays for World War veteranse from November 1918 to the end of 3949 will come to the magnificent figure of $35,000,000,-00Such, a regiment of ciphers defies the imarrination. Let vis, therefore, try to visualize it in a way that will convey to our minds just how much money that really is. Picture a house costing 510,000.
