(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Extending Radio Control Congress has passed legislation extending the life of the Federal Radio Commission an- other year. A year ago it was believed that only twelve months would be needed in which to create order out of the chaos that then existed in the air. The newly-formed commission went to work with high hopes. As the months passed it was found that radio control is more com- plicated than was originally believed. The commission has done its best and has accom- plished much, but it has not evolved a broad- casting system that lives up to the name. The commission has had a year of experi- sence and, because of this, stands better ‘equipped to deal with the problem than any ‘other agency. This was sufficient reason for ‘congress to pass a simple amendment to the iradio act extending the life of the commission jand making such other changes as the commis- ‘sion deemed necessary at this time. ; Radio is young and radio control is but_a tmere infant, both of which command congress jto proceed slowly and cautiously in passing ‘legislation relating to either. There is a field ‘for much good and a possibility of doing great sharm. i ; It is not necessary that the whole complex ‘problem be solved in a day or even in a year. The radio public is satisfied with the progress talready made in radio control and will be con- ttent if future progress continues at the same ‘pace. Too drastic legislation this early in the ,game may retard effective control, if not de- Stroy all the good already accomplished. The Outlaw of War Secretary Kellogg has revived consideration of abolition of submarine construction at a most opportune time. For it directs attention to the fact that the pending navy bill author- izes the building of thirty-five submarines at a cost of $5,000,000 per vessel. There will- be saved for the taxpayers $175,000,000 if con- gress can be convinced that the world is about to scrap its submarines or if congress can be argued into setting an example for the other naval powers by discontinuing submarine con- struction. Undersea craft could be abolished with prof- it by the three first-class naval powers of the world. This type of craft is something worse than useless in peace time. “It cannot be em- ployed for patrolling trade routes. It forms only a secondary factor in sea power. And in war time it is virtually impossible to use it as @ weapon of decency. Secretary Kellogg has told the foreign af- fairs committee of the house that the United States is williing to sign a general agreement for abolition of the submarine. Great Britain would be rather more than willing. So would Japan. But it is the second-rate powers—such as France and Italy—that cling to this weapon. Their excuse .is its relative cheapness. They are blind enough not to realize how expensive unrestricted submarine warfare proved to Ger- many. England, Japan and the United States should not be deterred by smaller powers from their purpose to write finis to the history of sub- marine warfare, as far as they are concerned. Certainly the military experts of the “Big Three” do not contend that the submarine would give a decisive advantage to the smaller power if pitted against a stronger naval power Ahaving no undersea craft. Cuba the Answer If the Pan-American conference did nothing more than bring representative men of the American republics together in friendly dis- cussion of their conquests and problems, it would. have accomplished much for the com- mon welfare of the peoples represented. The mere fact that the conference was held in Cuba produced beneficial results. Cuba itself is the all-sufficient answer to _eharges of American imperialism. So long a3 | that country is independent it cannot be truth- fully asserted that the United States seeks ' what is not its own. _ But Cuba is mere than independent.

St. Valentine’s Day holiday which has so lost its ancient virtue that it is no longer recognized by law any- where in the United States except in Arizona; and there not because the people are any more amatory than elsewhere, but for the sole and simple reason that on Feb. 14, 1912, Arizona was admitted to the union. The sages have traced St. Valentine’s Day| way back into Roman history. They have identified it with the festival of the Luper- calia, with which more or less naughtiness was connected. The Christian bishops, in their ef- forts to attract the people away from pagan customs, decreed that on this day the young men of Rome, instead of choosing a flapper, should be dealt a saint by lot, whose life was to be his inspiration for the ensuing year. But the scheme didn’t work very well, and frora that time to this the ladies, rather than the saints, have been the beneficiaries. As for St. Valentine—either of them, for there were two—he had nothing whatever to do with the festival, which was an ancient one before he was born. It is rather a pity that St. Valentine’s Day has lost some of its former importance. The world might be made much brighter and har- pier by a sincere celebration of St. Valentine's Day. But as it is, the boys will continue to ex- change comics. | Editorial Comment * | a! Briand Asks For an Offer " (Brooklyn Eagle) With Berlin expressing satisfaction with Briand’s speech on Rhineland evacuation the way is cleared for some concrete proposal in the course of the present year. The treaty of Versailles provides for occupation until 1935. Having fulfilled the treaty’s terms Germany declares that since the purpose of the occupa- tion is to assure fulfillment the French should now withdraw from German soil. “Very well,” says Briand. “We are ready to withdraw. What have you to offer as a quid pro quo for being saved the cost and hu- miliation of another seven years of armed oc- cupation?” This puts the matter on a financial basis. It tells Germany in so many words that if she can find some way of liquidating her repara- tions debt in one lump France will get out of Germany. How can Germany do this? There is only one way. By floating an international com- mercial loan to cover what she owes France. If the world’s money markets are willing to ac- cept German securities in sufficient amounts to enable France to pay her debts to England and the United States the whole matter might be cleared up this year. Of course, the total sum Germany owes must first be fixed at a reasonable figure, say eight billions. Germany will have to accept some kind of military control of the Rhineland at e French Nationalists will in- sist on more money than Germany can pay, and German Nationalists will insist upon less control than France can concede. It will re- quire all the persuasive powers of Briand and Stresemann to force a successful issue. Presidential Candidates and Primaries (Minneapolis Tribune) Presumably no one in the country doubts for a minute that Secretary Hoover is in a cordial- ly receptive mood with reference to the Repud-| lican presidential nomination. His political friends are becoming more and more active in his behalf, and their efforts are not frowned on or discouraged by the able head of the de- partment of commerce. It is quite safe and fair to say that Mr. Hoover is a tacit candidate, agreeable to all reasonable, dignified and courteous means that may be employed to put him before the voters of the country as one ready to heed their ex- pressed wish. In due course he may decide to make personal avowal of his candidacy. Wheth- er he shell do that, or when he shall do it, is for him to decide. The decision ought to be predicted on something more substantial than mere political expediency or personal amen- ity; it may well take into serious and even Now we have with us St. Valentine’s Day, al Well, It’s Never Too Late to Mend WASHINGTON LETTER BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer Washington, Feb. 14.—Senator J. Boomboom McWhorter today sum- moned the newspaper correspondents to his office and announced his can-j of our cause. didacy for the presidency. In a ringing declaration of princi- ple, he altered the entire face of the political map and threw consterna- tion into the camps of the several other candidates who had considered their victories assured. Senator Mc- Whorter received the correspondents with a smile on his expansive face and a pink delphinium in his button- hole. He had even bought a package of cigarettes with which to treat the boys. see “The time has come,” the senator began, “when I no longer can with- stand the insistent entreaties of my many friends who believe that the dearth of available material within the party for the great office of the presidency should not allow me to remain silent. “I have reached my momentous decision only after many hours of prayer and close consultation with my wife. While my well-known hu- mility caused me to pause at the thought that one so unworthy and free from ambition as myself should aspire to this greatest honor which can be accorded from the hands of this great and free people, that trepidation soon vanished as I be- gan to consider the other candidates in the field. “As fast as I thought of a reason why I should not accept this sum- mons from the people, that reason was displaced by anotuer more co- gent. ‘he long and arduous cam- paign involved, to be followed by four and no doubt eight years in that lofty office, leave a man little time for aught else but the executive duties.

But the plain people and the forces of right will prevail and a McWhorter will enter the White House for the first time, “I am for an adequate army and navy. “I am for economy in government and reduction in taxes. “I am for a balanced budget and enough money in the treasury. “Tam for aiding the farmer. “I am for Protecting the lives and property of American citizens. “I am for the encouragement of business and prosperity. “I am against federal encroach- ment on state’s rights. “I am for a wise foreign policy. “I am for the kind of a tariff which will be most beneficial. “I am for wider and better high- ways, “I am for enforcement of the law.} “I am against the bolsheviki abroad and at home. “I am against the government getting in anywhere it doesn’t be- long. bi am for the sanctity of the home and separation of church and state. “And if any, other candidate has a platform half as, ambitious as that, T haven't heard of it.

President Coolidge has declared himself out of the presidential contest as a candidate. There is no question of his desire to return to private life when his term expires on March 4, 1929. A Hoover candidacy, avowed, tacit or implied, cannot be embarrassing to the present occupant of the White House; it cannot be con- strued as a discourtesy to Mr. Hoover's supe- rior officer. Mr. Hoover might avow himself openly as a candidate, remain in the cabinet, and submit his case to the people, all with un- challenged propriety. Secretary Mellon might do likewise if he had any disposition to stand for the presidential nomination. The Tribune is not nominating Mr. Hoover, Mr. Mellon or anybody else for Republican party leadership. That is a matter for the people of the several states through primary elections and otherwise, to decide. There seems to be no adequate reason, however, why the presidential preference primaries in the 17 states that have such primaries should not be just as all-embracing as the laws of those Sales Laeag od in pip aa of im aa ne preference primary would appear short of living up to its name according as it fails to give the voters the privilege of recording their yotes for whomsoever they prefer, within th2 imitations. bounds of reasonable legal 1i 6 To cite an illustration, why should not the voters of Ohio have the pri of voting for or against Mr. Hoover or Mr. Mellon or Mr. Willis or Mr. Curtis in their presidential prim- ary?

There are few parts of the body where the nerves are so sensitive, and from which so many reflex pains and irritations come. Some of the causes of rectal trou- ble may be found in the location of the rectum itself, while other causes are so far removed from that locality that it is necessary to make a care- ful analysis of each case in order to completely uncover all possible causes which would lend to the rec- tal derangement. The blood supply of the rectum is connected in a very direct way with the portal circulation which also supplies a large part of the blood circulation of the liver. This par- ticular branch of the circulatory sys- tem is called the portal circulation. If the liver becomes sluggish and overworked, the venous blood is forced to accumulate in such por- tions of the portal circulation which carry the blood away from the rec- tum and adjacent tissues. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance | that all liver disturbances should be corrected before one can expect to free the congested rectal circulation. Hemorrhoids are simply enlarged veins which have become enlarged because of some interference with the normal flow of the blood away from the rectum. The veins of the rectum are more liable to enlarge because they do not contain the usual valves which in the other veins} keep the blood from flowing back- wards. When the portal circulation above the rectum is congested the rectal veins must necessarily enlarge or they will burst open as they some- times do with what are called bleed- in; piles. Such sluggish portal circulation may be caused by liver congestion, prolapsus of abdominal organs, habitual use of cathartics, a long continued sitting or standing Position, straining through lifting, excessive intestinal gas, and consti- ae With women the cause may also from an enlarged or mis- ere uterus, mechanical pressure) rom tumors in the abdomen, preg-: nancy, indolent habits of living, and} the common prolapsus of abdominal! organs from which fully 95 per cent of all women suffer, A fissure of the rectum is simply | a break in the membrane caused by! long continued constipation, the irri-| tation from poisonous feces, or the tearing, stretching effect of large, HEALTHDIET ADVICE PERS ae aT imate wee oh ee.

This is called a fistula, and can only come from continued neglect of rectal disorders which could have been easily cured in their incipiency. Local treatments are often effec- tive in the cure of rectal disorders, but the only permanent cure can come through removing those causes which are really responsible. It is not wise to wait until local symptoms are alarming, as the gen- eral effect upon the nervous system from all rectal disorders has an in- sidious effect upon undermining the nervous system and health even be- fore local symptoms are apparent. In tomorrow’s article I will discuss the cure of rectal disorders, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: Mrs. H. F. B. writes: “I have had my tonsils removed and so far as I know I am free from catarrhal trouble. It seems I snore before I am really asleep, and it makes no difference in which posi- tion I lie. I would rene any information you could give on ‘snoring’.” Answer: The removal of your tonsils would not cure the catarrhal trouble which existed before the op- eration. You snore because you cannot breathe freely through your nose. This may be due to enlarged turbinate bones in the nose, or simply to the membrane being swol- Jen from catarrhal irritation. Send for the special article on “Snoring.” Question: H. F. S. writes: “I am an absolute believer in your methods for health. I am always well as a result, I have for many years had spots on my shoulders resembling freckles. I presume they are freckles, as I am much exposed to the sun. But in addition to these spots, several brown patches the size of beans have appeared, like blood blisters, slightly red around the edge. What would cause them, and how could they be safely removed?” Answer: The brown patches you mention must be due to some faulty metabolism, and can be removed through the use of the ultra-violet light or the electric needle.
