Ccbb, a regular contributor to the
Beacon through his column of com-
ment, was horn in Paducuh and
edited the daily newspaper there
while still in his teens. Later he
went to New York and began a
flulck ascent to permanent fame in
mwspaper, stage and radio work.
Mure recently the screen has com-
manded his attention.
Cobb "covered" the World war
fer Saturday Evening Post and was
awarded n chevaliership in the
French Legion of Honor for his
work. He holds a commission in the
U. S. Reserve 0dicers' Corps.
Though he does not seek to be hu-
morous, Cobb’s column radiates the
nnturul humor of its author. Thnt
is one reason why it has become
one of the most popular newspnp' r
features of our day. We suggest
that you rend it every week

The very least that we can

dence, is to make sure that

Will We Have an Adequate
American Merchant Marine?
Chairman Kennedy of the New
Maritime Commission Hus
Started Work—First
Ship for the U. S. Lines
From the Capitol Hill to the White
House you will not find a member of
the Washington “Merry-Go-Round”
who is not predicting that the Stars
■nd Stripes will soon be flying on
I
Franklin I), telephones and the
"Mnn-at-the-Ke.vholi;' In Washington
reports the conversation an follows: —
"Joe. thU Is the While House. I've
got a new inb for you."
At the >ther end:—
"Frank, Please. Stop picking on me.
i want a new Governmen. )nb as
much ns I want n rattle-snake In the
parlor. What's the Job now."
"Well, Joe the country has to have
more merchant ships. We are build-
HmwSm
— - ■‘hfry —S - — * ■ ■ —*- -v -
“Joe” Kennedy, New Head of the Maritime Commission,
la a “shirt-sleeve" worker.
•fetter and bigger ships" of the
American merchant marine.
The new Maritime Commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt under
the recent act of Congress Is now tak-
ing bids for the first ship for tho U. S.
Lines. That the “Boss" In the White
House Is in earnest about this “ship
business” Is shown by his selection
of "Joe” Kennedy to be Chairman of
the Board. He Is the “go-getter," the
"atar performer” of the New DeaL
When there Is a hard job to be dona
lng a bigger Navy and what’s the
good of battle-ships without more
cargo-ships to keep the Navy going.
I promised the people la a message to
Congress that we would build more
ships to carry American citizens and
goods all over the world."
“Now, Mr. President, It I keep tak-
ing these Government jobs I will die
in the poor-house. If this is an order,
I bow.”
So “Joe” Kennedy has been draft-
ed and the man who took the hardest
job ever handed out to an unwilling
office-holder will start the rlvetters
at work on new ship hulls. Why does
Mr. Kennedy shy at being on the
National pay roll. It is simple. He
makes in his private business from
$300,000 to $500,000 a year ana when
ho takes a government Job every dol-
lar of his private revenue Is cut off.
When the President made “Joe"
Kennedy chairman of the Securities
Commission with what looked like
"Czaristic" control over the bulls and
bears of Wall Street and with author-
ity to reguate all the stock exchanges
of the country there was weeping
and wailing. Soon Chairman Ken-
nedy showed that It was not the In-
tention of the Administration to
drive business out of the country and
honest bankers began to prats* the
work of the new Commission. Crook-
ed stock-jobbers and sellers of "fake”
shares who were robbing the public
out of billions every year were In a
largo measure driven out of business.
Dire predictions of disaster were fol-
lowed by the greatest Increase In
values of securities under normal Im-
provement of business conditions.
Then Chairman Kennedy after
serving tho people .at a small salary
and re-organizing the stock selling
affairs of the Nation resigned. He was
at once offered the Job of arranging
the financial affairs of a giant mov-
tng-pictura concern for which he
was paid $150,000 for about six
months of work.
Experts In the shipping business
have shown the urgent need of the
Immediate construction of several
millions of tons of new passenger and
cargo ships.
The other members of the new
Maritime Commission whose names
have been presented to the Senate
for confirmation by President Roose-
velt are Rear-Admiral Henry A.
Wiley, U. S. N., retired; Rear-Admi-
ral Emory S. Land, retiring chief of
the Navy’s Bureau of Construction
and Repair; Thomas M. Woodward,
former Vice-President of the Mer-
chant Fleet Corporation and Edward
C. Moran, Jr„ former Democratic
Representative from Maine, forming
the permanent commission.
The word has gone the rounds In
Washington that as soon as the new
Commission gets started the keels of
many new merchant ships will be
laid down. President Roosevelt has
named a “working gang" to accom-
plish this stupendous task. The ex-
perts of the Commission are working
on new bids for many new ships.
There are several plans under con-
sideration. Specifications for a ship
of the Washington • Manhattan type,
the two American vessels which have
proven so popular with the people
that they are now ranked as the best
“money-makers” for the people of
the United States who have a sub-
stantial amount of money invested In
these hulls, have been drafted.
“And you think he will love me
tven more when we are married?”
“Oh, certainly! Why, he's just
crazy about married women, my
dear.”
Have you heard of the salesman
who attributes his extraordinary
succe-s to the use of five words,
when a woman opens the door;
“Miss, is your mother in ?
The trouble with labor-saving ma-
chinery is that it compels so many
young men to seek a livelihood
playing in jazz orchestras and ped-
dling silk stockings.
Bobby Breen in
“Make A Wish”
Charming, Lovable Bobby Breen
as he appears in "Make A Wish,"
at the Franklin Theatre, Bay City,
Sunday nnd Monday.
A man suffering from an excess
of stimulant and tottering percepti-
bly, arrived home as the clocks were
striking three.
After carefully removing h s
shoes, he tiptoed safely to his door.
He aliped the key in and was half
day down the hall when he upset a
goldfish bowl, causing it to fall with
a mighty crash.
His wife, hearing the commotion,
appeared at the head of the stairs
and called sharply:
“John! What on earth are you
doing?”
“I'll teach these blooming gold-
fish to snap at me,” replied John.
