(AP) Without passing final
Judgment the senate today accept
ed a recommendation of Its appro
priations committee to include
$12,370,000 in the navy depart
ment supply bill for beginning the
new cruiser construction program.
The amendment "offered by the
committee to begin work; on the
warships was ; approved Jy the
senate without a record rote but
adjournment was taken before a
final vote on the , measure in
which the amendment was 1 n-
cluded.
Of the total amount approved.
$200,000 would be available at
once to begin five of the 15 cruis
ers authorized earlier this month.
The rest of the. money would be
available July 1. 1929, to begin
another set of fire cruisers and
one airplane carrier and to carry
on the work of the five to be
started Immediately.
After the navy bill Is passed
the house must still act upon the
additions for beginning the cruis
er program. Representative Brit

house naval affairs committee,
bad indicated that he will make
an attempt to have'ttie house In

THE MYSTERIOUS CALL
The cry came from not far be
hind him and the boy whirled
around so suddenly that with his
arm he bit Miss Parrot's beak.
For a moment Mise Parrot was
so angry that she could not speak.
Then she flew at Peter with up
lifted claw screeching as hard as
she could.
'Aaaaarr! What did you do that
for? Your made - me bite my
tongue. I'll teach you to go about

He was a great-great grandson
of Samuel Washington, younger
brother of the first president,-
John T. Washington, came to
California in 1852 and since, has
resided . in this 'state and Nevada.
For 25 years he was in the news
paper business and spent the' last
six years delving Into his ances
try. His only surviving relatlnve
Is Mrs. Daniel Delahanty, a -sister
of New. York.
Before she could strike, how
ever, Pater had backed away, hold
ing one arm before his face to
protect it from the angry parrot's
blows. '
"For goodness sakes. don't be
such a crosspatch, Miss Parrot,"
cried he. "I didn't mean to hit
you. That voice calling my name
startled me, so that I didn't know
what I was doing. Do you know
who that was calling me? It was
my mother. Why In the world
should she be back there in the
woods, and what does she want
me for!" '
"Ask me something easy!" de
clared Miss Parrot. ' tossing her
head, but slowly, putting down her
claw. '.'Being a Two-Legs there is
no telling what she win do, nor
why. . .
"Listen! She Is calling again.
And yes. as sure as I amrborh,"sbe
is coming, toward us. '? Here", is
where I take, myeelf pf f. She might
try to put a chain around my leg-"
"Nonsense," said the, boy. Then
as the voice once more cried bis
name, he answered: ''Coming, mb.
ther, coming; but where are you?"
'Right here. Peter!" came the
answer, and then there stepped
ii
out from behind a great " tree ' .'
not his mother at all. but a greeiT)

and Miss Parrot gave a cry ot
surprise and clutched - at each
other for support.
"Geewillikens! Was it you who
called me?" stammered Peter, and:
- "How did you learn to talk like..
a Two-Legs?" "demanded Miss'
Parrot, when ehe had a little re
covered from the shock of seeing -4
the fellow who was evidently m
stranger to her as he was to Peter;.
"I have known you all the'
many months, and that is the first . .
