Plunkett told ‘the National Republican club that war°with » Great Britain or some other great power was inevitable, he expressed a sentiment which is _ hair-raisingly common with naval and military men. And there will be many others to fear that Plunkett was dead right. For Plunkett lifted the soft pedal a moment, tied up our huge pro- gram of naval expansion with the world trade struggle which we now face and declared that the only answer was war. i ‘We may all well hope that Plunkett is a punk i. but no one can dispute that he knows is history. In fighting the rest of the world for cheap raw materials and foreign markets. at the same time backing up this bid for un- questioned commercial supremacy with plans for a navy enormous enough to protect it, we are traveling the road which in the past al- ‘ways has led to war. e naval armaments race is on despite all denials, We're out to equal Great Britain’s fleet and probably to surpass it. Whether Britain is to blame, by reason of her attitude at the Geneva conference, is beside the point. The world struggle for markets has only be- gun. Peace movement leaders believe it can be prevented from leading to actual warfare by a series of treaties binding the big powers to behave. Governments seem quite uncon- vinced. Last year our exports were $5,000,000,000, an increase of nearly 20 per cent over 1926. We invaded the foreign credit market with $1,600,000,000 in new loans—foreign nations now owe us about $25,000,000,000. Outside the borders of the United States our interests are worth at least $50,000,000,000. The belief of this government and the industrial leaders of the nation is that a naval expenditure of $3,- 000,000,000, as now planned, is not tou much to protect them. We are embarked on a course of economic imperialism. We are not going to divide mar- kets with anyone. We are going to get all we - can, for we are the greatest producing nation -., on earth. ' To meet all that, Europe, recovering from the war, is organizing to compete with us not only in South America and Asia, but in Euro- pean markets as well. International trade combinations are forming, with Britain gener- ally in the lead, to head off American domina- ‘tion of the whole world. Oil, rubber and tin are some of the raw materials involved; chem- licals, steel, rails, tubes and electric bulbs are ‘only a few of the manufactured products.

And yet—you never can tell. rn Improvements in safety and reliability fea- tures on airplanes are being made with amaz- ing rapidity. Colonel Lindbergh insists that flying is not dangerous.

Editorial Comment | “The Roosevelt From Iowa” (Time) “There,” you would hear people in Washing- ton say when 38-year-old Assistant Secretary of War Hanford MacNider stepped by, “goes a coming man. A Roosevelt from Iowa!” They meant not only that he was filling well the sub-cabinet post that fell to him when Dwight Filley Davis was promoted in 1925, but that he had a good banking business back home, as much vitality as ambition, a hard head, and a multitude of friends everywher2 (in 1922-23 he commanded the American Le- gion). The sum of these is political potency. When he resigned his post recently there in- stantly was talk about Col. Hanford MacNi- der’s running for senator from Iowa next au- tumn. In Iowa he was even mentioned for the vice presidency. In accepting the MacNider resignation, Pres- ident Coolidge said: “* * * * I know that WASHINGTON organic per cent in iron. len First It start im inatin, regular TIN NEW YORK ‘le <tteemaeeteneoniit When a New York, Jan. 30.—At 1 national t you have made a great deal of sacrifice to stay poultry show in Madison Square| continue on longer than you expected.” And, hushing (A evince th Jarabe eb ee the senate rumor, Col.

Tomor- row: Postoffices for sale? BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer Washington, Jan. 30.—The federal payroll seems to have something like 900,000 jobs. As President Coolidge has pointed out, there were some 39,000 vacancies last year with about 250,000 applicants ambitious to fill them. As to whether the government needs all this help, you will have to s .k someone else. We have here some ‘information as to just where all those workers are employed in the peas divisions of government work, Omitting commissioned and en- listed personnel of the army and navy, which runs well over 200,- 000 men, the many thousands em- ployed by the legislative and judi- cial branches, about 57,000 mis- cellaneous postal employes and a few more, the federal executive service has some 560,000 employes, according to the Civil Service Com- mission. About 60,000 are here in Washington and the other 500,000 elsewhere. These are what are known as_ government workers. They include about 80,000 women and 480,000 rien. g going to “pick up a business which of neces- sity has been badly neglected.” But in his native Mason City, Iowa, where he will return after a trip to Europe, they know that business does not worry Hanford MacNider. He is going to build a new house there. He is going “to bring up our two sons in their own home town.” He is going, though not as delegate, to the Republican convention at Kansas City. Two other things President Coolidge’s letter said were: “Your personal friendship has al- ways been exceedingly gratifying.” And: “I trust that you will find your experience in Washington valuable.” Hanford MacNider may not run for office next autumn but, as Washington judges mer, he will run for something somewhere, soon. re Washington judges politicians, he will get ere. The Senate Protective Association (Chicago Tribune) The Pepper-Fisher combination in Pennsyl- vania politics spent $1,804,979 in the notable primaries and lost. Pepper was the sitting senator, but with all the money, the federal patronage, the dry agents, with privileges and immunities extended or withheld, Pepper was licked by the Vare-Beidleman combination, which spent $785,934. Vare beat a sitting senator and also the political high-hat Pinchot, the governor, who, having the state organiza- tion, also spent $187,029. In Illinois, Smith, having tainted himself by Among them are nearly 310,000 employes of the Postoffice Depart- ment,. whose total roster runs to abéut 370,000. The list shows other civil service employe apportion- ments as follows: White House 45, State Depart- who, in addition to being a man of great wealth, also had the federal organization. In the clear cut Smith case, in which the source of money was the evil, the senators at- tacking him could not keep away from the doctrine that, no matter what the source, the use of it was an evil. Are they so naive as tu think that the country does not perceive the Department 16,000, Agricultural Department 22,000, Commerce De- partment 15,000, Labor Department 4000, government printing office 4000, Smithsonian Institution 500, Bureau of Efficiency 71, Federal Trade purpose. It is completely damning, but it is not enough for purposes of senatorial protec- tion. What is required in Washington is the doctrine that it is contrary to public policy and morals to use money in campaigning against a senator, no matter if the money is contributed with the highest purposes and expended legally, honestly, and with no thought of cor- ruption. This punctures most of moralities exhibited. It reduces the question to one of personal in- terest. The senators do not want competition. They want to reduce the power of other can- didacies. They strengthen the power of the federal organization which in their states they control. It is supported by public money. It plays politics with public money, and it ob- jects to an outsider matching dollar for dollar with it and, still more, to being out-matched. The moral issue disappears when this ele- ment of bad faith enters the deliberation. The panniers. do po a ate be on the square. ey know legit expenses conn with successful campaigning in a populous state of large area, particularly when the can- didate hasn’t a nickel of patronage behind him and is opposing a mighty political organization. They also ignore that within their own con- ception of political morality it is possible for such associations as the Anti-Saloon league, or- ganized labor, the Klux, etc., to make great expenditures. The Anti-Saloon league is now asking for something like $5,000,000 for RR litical action, and it has spent millions. sitting senator may not object vote in the senate may win the use of this and influence in his state.

MONDAY, JANUARY ‘30, 1928 IRON STARVATION The normal.body in health contains only about one-eithth of an ounce of iron, Yet no animal body could exist if there were not at least some of this vital element present. In anemic persons this amount is often very low, being sometimes only ten of the normal quantity. At first thought it would seem that this deficiency could be easily made up by spy using more food rich is, of course, a valu- able help, but the enforced feeding with iron-bearing foods is not alone sufficient to cure an advanced case of jicious anemia. a liberal mixed diet is used there is usually enough iron taken in- to the system to supply, all the bodily needs.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: Mary R. writes: “I have a swollen gland in my neck and am writing to you to ask what is good for it. I have had it lanced a couple of times but after awhile it seems to come back. It doesn’t hurt me. I am a strong, healthy girl of sixteen and some people say I will outgrow it, but I don’t think so.” Answer: Your only nd to cure the swollen gland is to take a care- ful diet which will not overload your lymphatic circulation. It is best, for a short time, to eliminate all of the heavy foods and live on fruits and green vegetables for a month or two and give your glands a chance to empty themselves of any accumulat- ed wastes. Lancing only injures the glands still further, and extends the trouble to other glands néarby. Hot applications or electrical treatments are sometimes helpful in emptying out the swollen glands. Question: A. B. S. asks: “Will you please explain how to cook coddled eggs?” Answer: Place the unbroken eggs in a deep pan which is not standi a2 on the fire, and pour over them boil- ing water. At least one quart of wa- ter should be used to each two eggs. Allow to stand for from five to ten minutes. When broken open, the egg should have a jelly-like consistency, but should at the same time be so well cooked that there is no trans- parent albumen which has not been coagulated. If the pan is covered, less time will be oe to get the same effect, but it is possibly more desirable to have the cook very slowly for perhaps eight to ten min- utes, as in this way they are cooked more thoroughly. Question: J. B. asks: “Is there any cure for adhesions of the gall bladder besides an operation?” Answer: Gall bladder adhesions can sometimes be broken up by man- ipulative treatment.
