(Official City, State and County Newspaper) THE PRICE OF A WAR What with the new agreement on naval limitation be- tween England and France, and the growing likelihood 1 that another international naval reduction conference will be proposed in the near future, a number of peo- ple in this great land are reviving the good old game of comparing the American and British navies, One large middle western. newspaper has had its Washington correspondent do this, and he reports that the American navy, in actual fighting strength, is far below the British. Item for item, he compares the battle fleets. Our bat- tleship strength is below Britain’s; our cruiser strength is far below; our destroyers are more mumerous, but we lack destroyed: leaders; many of our battleships need extensive modernization—and so on, through a long iist of defects. This may be a correct summary; it would take a naval expert to say. But we wonder if there isn’t some- thing that we can do that is even more important than bringing our navy up to parity with England's. There are many points over which the two nations might fight some day. On the surface of things, it is only the part of wisdom for us to be ready for it. But there is another way of looking at it. Suppose we should get into a war with England. Sup- pose that we were excellently prepared for it, so that after a long and costly struggle we should win. What then? Would we have improved our position? England beat Germany in the last war—and lost bil- lions of dollars worth of foreign markets while she was doing it. If we fight England, and the great cordon of British cruisers tightens about our commerce for a trunks thousands of Americans stand in reverent awe in the course of a year. Like New York, the national capital and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, the Yosemite is a place every American hopes to visit. “The noblest pine yet discovered, surpassing all oth- ers in kingly beauty and majesty. No traveler, whether he be a tree lover or not, will ever forget his first walk in a sugar pine forest. In approaching it we feel as if in the presence of a superior being, and begin to walk with a light step, holding our breath.” Thus wrote John Muir of the sugar pine. Yet these giant trees, some of them 200 feet tall, are in grave danger of cutting. Neither California nor the nation will permit, for the sake of $300,000 worth of shingles, the destruction of these noble trees that have been td swaying in the winds through the ages. CLARIFYING ROAD RULES A nation-wide program for improvement of traffic conditions developed by the department of commerce at Washington is to be urged upon the states by the de- partment. This is good. The nation has needed such a program for years, keenly so in recent years. The plans, which are designed to make streets and highways of the nation safer for motorist and pedes- trian alike, were formed after conferences in Washing- ton attended by traffic experts, street builders and scores of others learned in traffic matters. Ten na- tional organizations directly interested were repre- sented and furnished valuable information and advice. The basis of the system is the uniform motor vehicle code and the model municipal traffic ordinance which are intended to serve as a guide for uniform regula- tion by cities and towns. The uniform code, drafted in collaboration with the national conference of com- missioners on uniform state laws and approved by the American Bar Association, has already been adopted in substantial part by ten states. The next effort will be to have it generally approved and adopted. The importance of the problem is obvious. In the last fifteen years it is estimated that 200,000 persons have met death in traffic accidents, the greater propor- tion being lost in the latter part of that period under a constantly rising accident and fatality rate. The mode! state code and model ordinances will be generally awaited with deep interest, Their universal adoption promises a’ change for the better. HOOEY FROM A PROFESSOR Professor Luccock, of Yale University, says “the great American tragedy of today is the tragedy of Mother Hubbard—nothing there when we examine the cupboard of our inner selves. Though we have all sorts of aida for making life easy, we don’t seem to realize that the more of these aids we have, the less real living we actually do. We live in an age renowned for its efficiency, but we have nothing to be efficient about.” No comments on life are easier to make. But gener- alizations of this sort always cause the listener or read-. er to wonder how exhaustive and fair has been the sur- vey of life on which they are based. Did the world have more to be “efficient about” when the few had their human slaves than it has today when the many have their mechanical slaves? Only the con- firmed cynic believes people are doing less real living today, when man has science and invention at his beck and call, than their ancestors did in the days when central heating was unknown and a bathtub was a lux- ury. It seems that only an imperfect survey of life results in views of life like that of the Yale instructor. Never before was life’s cupboard so full. The average person is putting more into life and getting as much more out of it. This is true of every class. Never before were the worthwhile things so generally patronized. This generation has developed efficiency in all things to its highest state. It has done so through ne- cessity. Never was there greater need for efficiency. ik year or so, how much of our foreign trade, on which our ‘wet prosperity depends more and more each year, would re- pa main? Wouldn’t neutral nations fall over themselves txp taking it away from us? Would we be able to get it tax back after the war? JA England, emerging victorious from a war with her sup fteatest commercial rival, fell into an industrial slump pro that is not yet over. Is there any guarantee that we ure 214 not do the same thing? que Vorhaps the important thing for us to do is not so by ouch prepare for war with England as make sure that 4 r does not come. With wise aforethought all differ- s nees that may arise between the two nations can be mor ttled peaceably. Now is the time to start thinking » — avout it. pos Keeping our navy up to snuff is vital, of course.

The identification of Governor Smith with Tammany is so complete, running down from his entry into public life to the present day, and is so frankly acknowledged by himself, that the voter has every right to take due account of that fact. Tammany’ 's record is bad. It has always been bad, but at some times worse than at others. Even in these days, when Tammany is supposed to have reformed, revelations @f graft in its conduct of New York’s city government are frequent. Only the other day it came out that the snow cleaning forces are kept on the pay- Sate yest around 4 sical Tammany scheme for u sinecures for spoils purposes. ie Pamhane bat hse ial. . Reena aL is true that Mr. Smith’s record in the office of Governor has been good, despite his identification with Tammany. Throughout his service, it must be remem- bered, he has had a Republican Legislature to deal with. And the power. of a President is vastly greater relative- ly than that of the Governor of New York. So that citi- zens who hesitate to give Tammany the foothold in the National Government that it has in New York State, certainly have reasonable grounds for their hesitation, One of the answers made to the Tammany argument | Drat These Folks BY RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer.) , Washington, Aug. 27.—Up to elec- tion time the politicians feel that nothing is too good for the women. After that, it seems to be different. As long as ‘there are votes to be corraled, their sex, with its 25 or 80 million possible ballots, is the equal of the male in every respect.

The candidates never neglect to make soulful appeals to American womanhood and the party platforms continue to felicitate all concerned on the fact that the sexes now have equal rights. Many earnest gals go out and work their heads off in every state for one slate of candi- dates or the other. Isn’t it wonder- ful the way women are playing a bigger part in national affairs? 26 But after the votes are counted and all the male politicians prepare to line up for places, the ladies gen- erally are taken for a sleigh ride and dum ante a deep rap lrsea Ifa single one happens to get a finger Fee ve erey boat, it Bactines a na ‘ional sensation and everybody beats the drum in celebration of this new recognition of the way American women are forging ahead and tak- ing their places beside the men. , Your correspondent can think of just about three women in the gov- ernment service occupying really large and important jobs. They are: Bavel Walker Willebrandt, one several assistant attorney generals; Civil Service Commissioner Jessie Dell and Chairman Bessie Parker garded as forbidden fruit for their sex. ese One hears vague rumors that Smith or Hoover would appoint the first woman cabinet member, but they're quite unsubstantiated. After looking over the roster of the execu- tive departments as now constituted, one almost wonders how the govern- ment gets along with so few women. The president’s three secretaries and his executive clerk are all men. Owing to the tradition of feminine the family budeet that there ought to be a few in the Treasury Depart- ment, but there aren’t. Clerks and stenographers, of course, as in all the departments, but we're ret think- ing of those. Of 115 administrative or executive jobs listed for the Treasury and its numerous sub- sidiary bureaus—internal revenue, customs, budget, public health and so on—we find that Mrs. Brownie Kerr is chief clerk of the Budget Bureau and that Mary M. O’Reilly is assistant director of the Bureau of the Mint. eee It’s no ise, of course, to check commisgions and divisions of the War and Navy Departments and find only three or four women employed “GF 28 Department of Justice po ment of Jus' listed, Mrs. Willebrandt is the sole representative of her sex.

No fruits of any kind— not even tomatoes—should de used with this meal. The reason for this is that starch digestion begins in the mouth as chawing mixes the saliva with the starch. If acids are used at the same time, the alkalinity of the saliva is spoiled and cannot properly convert e starch into sugar. If starch, tomatoes and meat are mixed and pass into the stomach, both the meat gnd tomatoes will stimulate the flow of the gastric juice, which has no digestive element in it that can in any way convert the starch. On the other hand, an ex- cess of gastric juice only sours the starch and makes it unfit for diges- tion in the intestines where the prin- ‘cipal change of starch takes place. ie simple way then to use starch is to use only one starchy food at a time, and to use it in combination with the different non-starchy vege- tables, both in the cooked and raw forms. The following specimen meals will give you some idea of how starch may be used in proper com- bination with other foods: 1, WHOLEWHEAT MUFFINS— cooked carrots and string beans. 2, BAKED POTATO—cooked cu- cumbers, salad of grated carrots and lettuce. 3, BOILED WHOLE RICE — cooked\asparagus and carrots, raw spinach. There are really no vegetables which do not contain a small amount of starch, but the following list con- tains less than five per cent: celery, spinach, string beans, asparagus, summer squash, cucumbers, egg- plant, beet tops, turnip tops, lettuce, okra, chayotes, oyster plant, mallow, kale, zucchini, and even small beets, carrots, parsnips, and turnips. The larger and more mature beets, car- rots, parstiips, and turnips contain as much as eight to twelve per cent of starch, but may usually be taken as non-starchy vegetables. I will briefly explain to you just how food is digested in the stomach, and also in the intestines. The digestion of food begins in the mouth, but only one kind of food is really digested by the salvia. That one food is starch. Meats, greens, fruit and other foods (except starches) are NOT in any way di- gested in the mouth except that mas- tication breaks these foods up into smailer particles. The ptyalin, or digestive ferment in the saliva, acts upon the starch, and partially con- verts it into sugar. When a mixture of meat, bread, and greens is taken into the stomach, the chemical action of the gastric juice changes the meat from protein into simpler forms so that it can be absorbed. The digestive juice of the stomach has no effect whatsoever up- on the bread and greens except to make them sour because of the one- half of one per cent hydrochloric acid contained in the juice. The digestion of starch does not tae operating the Bureau of lome Economics are women. There are also two librarians and two as- sistants to Is of bureaus. And in four pages of names of Department of Commerce officials the name of but one woman appears —a librarian. Finally, the Department of La- bor actually has two bureaus “manned” completely by women—the Women’s Bureau and Children’s Bu- reau. So much for the departments. The Civil Service Commission has two women assistant chiefs of di- vision, but in the General Account- ing Office, Interstate Commerce Commission, Bureau of Efficiency, Board of Mediation, Federal Reserve Board, Federal Trade Commission, Shipping Board and countless other miscellaneous groups women in re- sponsible positions are as rare as hot dog stands in grave; There are four women among 435 members of the House and none in the Senate. Three are widows who took their husbands’ jobs. Funny, isn’t it, that, with the noliticians working the women for all they’re worth during the vote-getting sea- son, they don’t give them a few nom- tions: If you want more evidence of the recognition the women get when it comes to the big object of politics to most politicians, look at the federal jobholders outside Was! n— judges, district attorneys, collectors of the port, postmasters, marshals and the like.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: B.C. writes: “At one time my pulse will register sixty, at another time eighty, for no apparent reason. Has this change in pulse any significance for a well man of sixty?” Answer: Your pulse will be much lower when you are resting, and much faster after exercising. This is perfectly normal, but such a var- iation as you note should not occur while you are quiet. If so, it is be- cause of a varying amount of gas pressure against your heart. This is due to improper food, eating too hastily, overeating and gassy food combinations. Question: Reader asks: “Does buttermilk tend to produce acidosis on account of the lactic acid it con- tains?” Answer: A buttermilk diet, or the use of buttermilk in place of a meal jhas a tendency to cure acidosis rath- er than to cause it. -The lactic acid of the buttermilk has a beneficial effect upon the intestinal flora, or vegetable growths in the intestines, Question: L, P. D. asks: “Will you kindly give me some information about yellow jaundice, its cause and cure, and how long it lasts if taken care of immediately?” Answer: Jaundice may be caused by a serious disease of the liver, such as cancer or cirrhosis, but when it first appears it usually is caused by catarrhal inflammation of the bile ducts or by the bile being stopped through the obstruction caused by; gall stones. The treatment which 3 would suggest would of course de- pend upon the cause found through an examination; but on general prin- ciples, a fruit fast would be effec- tive in stimulating the flow of bi and removing the jaundice, at least, temporarily.
