Where Naval Reduction Stands Another titanic stride toward peace may not inconceivably be the ulti the decision reached between the nd Great Britain whereby there is to be a five-power parley in December on naval reduction. With the announcement, the bewildering project for reducing naval armaments as it is being formulated by Premier Ramsay MacDonald, of England, and President Hoover, emerges. into comparative clarity. This could not be the case as long as the vital principle of the pro- Posed reduction had not been agreed on. This fund: mental principle now is understood to have been virtually Teached. It is to be the “yardstick” of the conference and it deals with the equality of cruiser strength between Great Britain and the United States. In this successful negotiation between the two Anglo- _ Saxon powers the other naval nations, Japan, France and ~ Italy, find the incentive for joining in the proposed con- ference in December. It is believed that invitations to these three powers will be accepted in the same pacific spirit that has animated the sponsoring nations in their Negotiations between London and Washington and which will start Ramsay MacDonald for America on the Beren- garia, September 28, Admiral Hyo Takarabe, Japan's naval minister, has announced that the success of the Anglo-American negotiations is welcome news to his country. ‘The key proposal now scemingly settled is so disposed of only in optional form, however. It concerns cruiser parity. This, as far as the United States 1s concerned, is left to decision whether 30,000 tons additional Americ: strength in this type of fighting craft is to be in the form of three 10,000-ton cruisers or four or five of small- er size. Whichever way this question of size is settled, it insures the effective parity of the fleets. The United States very likely will be allotted 18 cruisers of 10,000 tons each. In the course of the negotiations, Great Britain has re- duced her estimated cruiser tonnage from 450,000 tons to 240,000. In this is involved the fundamental difference in the naval requirements of the two nations that long has stood in the way of an agreement on cruiser parity .@nd general disarmament. Great Britain, with wide- Spread coast lines and sea lanes to protect and numerot refueling bases, wants small cruisers. The United State: on the other hand, due to its comparativee lack of bases, requires larger cruisers with their correspondingly greater steaming radius. Assuming that the conference will take place, the United States, among other important propositions, in- ) tends to ask that the present 10-year holiday in the con- f struction of capital ships be extended from 1931 to 1936. * By 1936 itis expected that the way will be open to further curtailment of battleship tonnage, leading possibly to the elimination of this type of vessel as a fighting unit. The Proposal presupposes the calling of another conference in 1936. In paramount features, the results of mutual con- cessions in reaching the agreement which promises the five-power conference in December are: 1. Reduction and parity of the American and British fleets are to be arrived at in 1936. 2. Scrapping of existing ships will be avoided by the Process of not junking them until they become obsolete through the automatic process of reaching their age limit. 3. The old “replacement” system is to be abandoned. 4 Neither navy will undertake new building projects uring the next seven years, i. e., authorize or construct any ships not already provided for. 5. The United States’ 15-cruiser program, cnacted by congress last winter, is to be carried out. 6. Great Britain is allocated a round tonnage total of ‘340,000 in cruisers, as against a round American total of 305,000. The numerical excess in Britain's favor is to be equalized by permitting the United States to have about. eighteen 10,000-ton 8-inch cruisers, as against about 15 British cruisers of that category. 7. America concedes the British fleet a certain super- fority in smaller cruiscrs for “police” or trade-route pro- teotive purposes, but these, from the American stand- Point, will yield Britain no advantage in “combat sttength” as against the American fleet. “8. There is to be a heavy reduction in the destroyer and submarine fleets of both navies, America permit- ‘ing roundly 200,000 tons of destroyers to pass out through y oles by 1936 and Britain surrendering roundly s tons. Submarine filotillas would be decimated in both fleets by the same process, The net result, in 1936, ‘would be equality of American and British destroyers and submarines in “combat strength” despite tonnage dis- ‘. America and Britain are ready to enter a five- power tiavel conference in December, to give effect, in a | treaty, to the conclusions reached by them.

N., retired, stands revealed today as one of the finest patriots a country | could wish. It was Admiral Jones who put President Hoover on the track of Lobbyist Shearer, who took pay for his activi- | ties in fomenting international discord and sowing the seeds of war. At Geneva, in 1927, was Admiral Jones, a member of | the United States delegation. He was a navy man, and as such might have been expected to welcome any action that put obstacles in the path of reducing the American navy. Yet what he saw of Shearer's activities at Geneva so disgusted and enraged him that he ultimately got word of it to President Hoover. Some naval leaders can see only the navy's needs, and | welcome any development that means added strength | for that branch of the service, But Jones was different. | He could see beyond the navy’s needs and visualize the | needs of the country as a whole. In the true sense of the word he was a patriot. His name is worth remember- | ing. | It's a funny world that will keep on perfecting non- | Skid tires and won't do a thing for the toupe. | Another gocd way to retain your faith in your fellow- | man is to make him sign on the dotted line. Proof that the world is growing better lies in the fact | that its conscience hurts a lot more. | Editorial Comment Politically Minded Farmers «St, Paul Dispatch) The fari { the Middle West wants “more polities and less jazz” on his radio program. That at least, is the summary of nearly 5,000 answers made by farmers to ay) large Chicago broadcasting station that sent out a ques- | tionnaire to them. The reply is not taken to mean that | the farmer has no music in his soul. Several hundred ap- | proved jazz and more made specific requests for old time songs and melodics. But the demand by a large majority was for more political discussions over the air. The farmer and his problems are in the national lime- light today as they never have been. He is alert to the situation perhaps more than those who would guide his thoughts in other directions. He is seeking information and light on matters that nearly concern himself and his welfare. The tariff, the federal farm board, the St. Law- rence waterway, the marketing system, the defective fed- eral grain grades all affect farm revenue and are political questions of first magnitude. If he can get them settled right, if he can get more politics he can enjoy jazz music better. Until then music for him has lost its power to soothe. The Auto Got Him (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) The world’s reputed cldest man, Zaro Agha, a Turk, | whese cze has been variously given as from 143 to 155 years, hes succumbed at last. But it was no disease germ that brought his end. Shortly before his desth it had been repcrted that he never felt better; in fact he was | planning a tour of the United States. It was a device of the modern age that got him: the automcbile. It recalls the ignemint: ish of enother longevity, who indeed was given a higher mi than Zaro. He was cne Thomas Prrr, who wes born at W:nningten in Shropshire, England, in 1483. He had led a simple life for something lixe 183 ycars until the fame cf him reached the clubs of the avisteeracy of London. Nothing would do the bloods of the pericd but that “Old ! Parr” must be summoned to the city and have a fuss made cver him. ‘It appears thet he not only over-ate, | but also mixed his drinks; whereupon he slept with his fathers. Perhaps not alone the cynical may ask what such age availed either Perr or Zaro or the world, but then only a few in any ecntury may distinguish themselves on an international plane. When it is said that a ycung Lind- bergh may put more achievement into a few days than | both these man in three centuries, it but draws attention | to the fact geniuses may do that over multitudes of the average.

Now I realize that we both did wom- en an injustice. It isn't vanity but accuracy that is their trouble, cording to the sales manager of a {national chain of shoe stores, with years of experience in department store work behind him. Says he (in the New York World): “Nine men out of ten do not know exactly what size shoes they wear and seven women out of ten are in the same predicament. Two-thirds of the men buying hats cannot make even a fair guess of their head size. Gloves must be fitted, too. Collar sizes, how- nrcbably because the wrong size col ACCURATE TESTIMONY why men know collar sizes and do not know shoes, hats and gloves is ex- tremely weak. Surely misfit shoes are as discomforting as tight collars! But the fact remains, nevertheless, that human beings are very inaccur- ate about things they see day in and day out and have bought over and over again. It makes one wonder about the reliability of witnesses’ tes- timony in criminal cases. If a man can't remember the shoe size he has worn for years, how can we rely on his remembering even approximately the height. coloring, clothing and gen- eral appearance of a person seen only ‘once, perhaps ectge ¥ rq HOW CHILDREN PLAY A New Zealander, recently arrived as agent for a steamship company, was remarking how great a com- mentary on contemporary civilization children’s games are. “When I was a lad in New Zea- land,” he said, “I got a terrific thrash- ing once for playing ‘mass’ with a my. father. thought me sacriligious.

Noting my interest, the garage man glanced over his shoulder and then grinned. ‘Do you know,’ he said, ‘those kids play bootlegcer day after day and never seem to tire of it. Don't that beat everything!’” This recalled a talk given by a kindergartner. She said the majority of little girls playing with dolls no longer played mother or nurse with them. They were much more mod- ern. The dolls were Mary Pickfords or Amelia Earharts and the childzen were either movie directors putting them through their paces, according | to movies they had seen, or were themselves helping their dolls fly. e BARBS ] A man in Kansas married to get out of jail.

(Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.) | J SENTIMENTALITY (By Alice Judson Peale) Demonstrations wrich are greater than the emotion behind them are false and worthless things. Only a person of little real sensi- bility deceives, through them, both | himself and others into thinking him & person of great emotional depths, The easy pouring forth of feelings on trivial occasions is a mark of the ; Sentimentalist. He who weeps hot tears over a fallen sparrow is not, one feels, a citadel of spiritual strength or even of ordinary good sense. The sentimental parent quite uncon- sciously offers to his ‘child counter- feit feelings and dishonest demon- | Strations. His excess of apparent | emotion twists the world out of focus | for his child. His false values, his dramatizations of feeling, are con- fusing and distressing to one who is | trying to find his way amid the com- Plexities of an adult world. To such a parent the child reacts either with an unconscious imitation which must cheapen the quality of his own emotional experience, or with an inner shrinking which must make him profoundly unhappy. For he must then learn to reject much of the ideal which his father and mother represent to him. He must learn to be secretive of those things he cherished and to find his spiritual values without help from them. Disillusionment has come to him too soon and from the wrong uarter. Most painful of all to such a child is to be called upon to give evidence of his affections in words and kisses and caresses; for these things have been cheapened for him through their sentimental exploitation. For his whole life, perhaps, they have been robbed of much of their special sig- nificance and joy.

Creevey, the smart diarist of the late Georgian period, had been frankly skeptical of any machine taking the place of the reliable horses which drew ears over the railroads. Me termed the invention “this infernal machine, the loco-motive Monster, nav- igated by a tail of smoke and sulphur.” After the test, even the 5 ticated Creevey became enthusiastic and conrented to try a ride with the in- machine.

The sinuses have an open- ing into the nose, but this opening sometimes closes because of infec- tions or catarrhal inflammation. This may cause great pain and tenderness, with a maddening sense of pressure. If the infection or inflammation con- tinues, there may be an accumulation of pus, Sinusitis usually cures itself by spontaneous recovery as soon as the pus is discharged into the nose after the entrance to the sinus becomes opened. In the chronic forms there may be a simple round cell infiltration or granular thickening into polypoid Gegeneration, and if these conditions continue it may end in a devitaliza- tion of the mucous membrane and even to bone necrosis. Children under seven or eight years of age seldom have sinus troubles, probably because the sinuses are not well developed and the one called the frontal sinus is not present until af- ter about the eighth year. As a child becomes older the bones of the face and nose change somewhat in shape and the sinuses more fully develop. Long continued catarrhal troubles will lay the soil in which a sinus in- fection may develop. The sensible treatment for all sinus and antrum troubles is through a fasting and diet treatment to cleanse the blood of any accumulated pois- ons which may be the irritating cause of catarrh. Puncturing the sinuses or antrums, which is a method used by most surgeons, is a dangerous pro- cedure, as it often leads to a great deal of after trouble and frequently more infection. Such procedure is only necessary or advisable in very extreme cases of acute sinus or an- trum troubles, where the membranes are so enlarged as to completely close the passages, In most cases, local treatments through antiseptics and with various air-suction and vibrating machines will assist in‘ bringing about a relief of the acute condition—then clearing up the catarrha! trouble with dieting will bring about a lasting cure.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS How Much )? Question: High School asks: “What would you advise for a girl that want- ed to sleep all the time?” Answer: If eight hours of sleep do not refresh you it is because your sys- tem is burdened with poisons from bad habits of eating, and from the effects of too much study and not enough physical exercise. If a phy- sician’s examination has failed to dis- , close any definite disease, you can rest assured that you need a thorough bodily housecleaning which will elim- inate the morbid material in your blood stream with which you are burdened. Cottage Cheese Question: H. G. writes: “Picase advise when cottage cheese is used in Place of meat, what is the ample por- tion per person?” Answer: It is all right for most People to use about one quarter of a Pound of cottage cheese in piace of the same amount of meat. This is approximately an ordinary sauce dish full. Paresis Question: F. G. P. writes: “Pleasa:. answer these questions through the ~ column: (1) What does paresis mean? (2) What was the cause of a pain around the heart when I climbzd a long flight of stairs with a heavy load? Every time I tricd to breathe or bend over I felt the pain. It last- ed about two hours.” Answer: “Paresis” means a form troubles into the same limelight that used to be held by appendicitis. After that the white light of publicity swung over to infected teeth or ton- {sils, then to glandular troubles, and now it seems that a high percentage of people you meet will say that they | have a “sinus.” Many seem to think that a “sinus” is some definite growth or disease, and do not know that it simply means that one of the hollows in the bones of the skull has become filled with mucus or pus, and that se- of brain degeneration, and is a very serious and usually fatal disorder. The pain you tell me about may have been due to heart strain, or to the less serious but painful symptoms which come from an injury to the cartilages between the ribs. If you could feel the source of the pain with | your finger on your ribs, it was duc to the latter cause and not to any heart injury. (Copyright, 1929, by The Bell Syndi- cate, Inc.)
