He spoke of the foreign idea that
there is no permanent existence of

services. Customary dinners,
parades and other usual features
will be conducted Saturday or on
Monday.
Oct. 27, the date set for the an-nual
observance of Navy Day, was
selected originally for two reasons.
The first Is that it commemorates
the day in 1775 when the Conti-nental
Congress received a bill for
the creation and establishment of
a fleet to protect the lives and
property of- the people of the Unit-ew
States. That was 171 years ago.
The day also marks the birthdav
of Theodore Roosevelt, .a staunch
supporter of a strong navy. Navy
Day was celebrated first in 1922.
