Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Naval Treaty and Japan Now that the London naval treaty is being put under the sensational microscope, certain easily-worried Ameri- cans are wondering audibly if Uncle Sam, once more, has not sat in at a conference where scheming foreigners took advantage of his innocence and made off with his last shirt. It was to be expected that the arrangement between America and England would be closely scrutinized. The fear of England, apparently, like the poor, is al- ways with us—or at least is always with some of our su- per patriots, But now it is being charged that the Japancse have hookwinked us too. The Japanese got their cruiser ratio raised, and at least two influential senators are begin- ning to wonder if this should not be viewed with the traditional senatorial alarm. Perhaps the best answer that can be made comes from Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson. Read what he had to say to the senate naval committee: “There was this situation in cruisers. We had two eight-inch cruisers in the water, one nearly ready for launching and five on which a certain amount of con- struction had been done.. Whatever else was done had been merely begun, but there were two in the water. Japan had eight eight-inch cruisers in the water and four more which were very much nearer completion than any of ours, making 12 in all. In six-inch cruisers she had 98,000 tons where we had only 70,0000 tons. “Our problem was to ask Japan to stay still for six years and let us build past her until we had 15 cruisers of the eight-inch class in the water to her 12, and three more so closely finished that all of them would be com- pleted in the year 1936. In respect to the six-inch cruis- ers, we had to ask her to stand still at an increase of only 2000 tons, bringing her from her present 98,000 tons to only 100,000 tons, which the treaty gives her, while we built past her from 70,000 tons to 143,000 tons. “I speak deliberately when I say that the Japanese delegation, and the Japanese government which confirm- ed the action of the Japanese delegation, had a harder problem and solved it with a greater faith in the Pa- cific relations of the three great powers, than any other nation at the conference.” There's one more bit of testimony to add to this. Ad- miral William V. Pratt, commanding the U. 8. fleet, told ‘the senators this: “It suits me. I say that, realizing that if any fighting comes off now, I will have to do it.” All in all, it seems almighty hard to work up much uneasiness about the situation in respect to Japan, The Japanese war bogey seems to be dying quite rapidly. Why not let it die, forever, and see that it is given a good burial? Secret of Pioneer Success One of the last “real” daughters of the American Revolution died the other day in Richland, Mich. She ‘was Mrs. Helen M. Barrett, she was 99 years old and her father was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, serving under Gates in the battle of Saratoga. Records of the D. A. R., of which Mrs. Barrett was a member, show that there are eight other women in the country whose fathers served in the Revolution. Dis- tant as the colonial days are, they seem close when one thinks that in these cases, at least, they are only a scant two generations away. Nevertheless, the story of Mrs. Barrett's life brings home forcibly the immense contrast between modern times and the times in which she grew up. Born in upstate New York, the next to the youngest of 27 children—her soldier-father was 78 when she was born—Mrs. Barrett was taken to Michigan by boat and horse and wagon, when she was 7 years old. At 14 she ‘was married. “Her early married life would seem impossible now,” said one of her sons after her death. “Her daily work included cooking over a hearth fire, spinning her own yarn, weaving, making stockings and all the clothing for 10 children, doing all the cooking and baking for a large family, part of the time milking four and five cows, even making her own soap and candles. “But she always seemed to manage. She kept us clean nd we always had plenty to eat and wear.” ‘That one sentence—“but she always seemed to man- age”—might serve as an epitaph for untold thousands of pioneer American women. : They always seemed to manage, somehow—they had to! They went into dreary wildernesses and wore out their lives in drudgery of a kind that is almost inconceiv- able to us of the present, they bore huge families, they often did a man’s work as well as a woman's; and if, now and then, their faded photographs show them with tired, brooding eyes and bitter mouths, can we wonder at it? We are not half proud enough of these pioneer wom- en. The people of Ponca City, Okla. have erected a statue in their honor. There ought to be such a statue in every city and town in the land. If it is a distinction to trace one's ancestry back to 9 Revolutionary war vet- eran. 15 1t not even more of 8 distinction to list a pioneer motner or grandmother among one’s forebears? The tagged Continentals endured for a matter of seven years; the pioneer women endured for whole lifetimes. “She always seemed to manage.” That tells their story. Automobile Statistics Statistics about automobiles are interesting. The Na- @tional Automobile Chamber of Commerce recently is- ued a booklet telling all about automobile registrations for 1929; and some of the facts disclosed are a bit sur- prising. ‘ ‘There are, for instance, seven states in each of which fmore than a mit@on passenger autos are registered. As might be imagined, these are the most populous states, comprising New York, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan and Texas. But when the population per auto is given, by states, some surprises come. California, naturally, heads the list, with one car for every 2.64 people. And then, in order, follow—not the populous urban states, but Nevada, Iowa, Kansas, Ore- gon and Nebraska. New York, with 6.12 people to each auto, in 34th place; Pennsylvania in 39th, It is this latter table that tells the story. The states that lead in this list are the ones that have really taken advantage of the automobile age. Concerning Mr. Cagle Christian Cagle, football player, spends four years at the U. S. military academy, presumably with the inten- tion of becoming an officer in the U. S. army. As his graduation approaches he wishes to resign so that he can become a combination football coach and bond sales- man, - Permission is refused him, Thereupon it is discovered that he has been married, in violation of regulations. Thus he gets his wish and is cut loose from the army automatically, and is free to go ahead with his plans. This young man has roused our high admiration as an athlete; but somehow this transaction leaves a terrible taste in our mouths. The country has spent rather more than $4000 on Cagle’s education, and he put himself under a bond of honor to repay this generosity by serv- ing as an army officer. It becomes evident, now, that it was football and not a military life that chiefly inter- ested him. The affair reflects very little credit on the famous football player. The Weakness of the Reds May Day has passed, and the American flag still seems to be flying. The tremendous Red demonstration that was to have been staged seems to have missed fire some- where. The alarm that various good people felt, in ad- vance, was not quite justified. Allowed to march and talk as freely as they pleased, the Communists made a most raiserable showing. All of which is highly reassuring; and, incidentally, a testimony to the practical value of that old-fashioned and somewhat unpopular institution known as free speech. If the authorities all over the country had de- cided in advance to suppress these demonstrations the Communists would have been tickled to death. They would have had ammunition for a whole year of talking. Instead, they were allowed to demonstrate to their hearts’ content. And the weakness of their demonstrations proved amply that the safest, wisest course is to let them display their own weakness. | Editorial Comment A City of Splendor (Current History) ‘ The nation’s capital city should be an expression of the nation’s greatness in power, in wealth, in taste. This, says Charles Moore, chairman of the National Commission of Fine Arts, was the ideal city as imagined by George Washington, “The President decreed that there should be distances, and that they should be mag- nificent. L'Enfant drew and Washington approved a plan ‘on such a scale as to leave room for that aggran- dizement ond embellishment which the increase of the wealth of the nation will permit it to pursue at any period however remote.’ The builders of today are but realizing the visions of more than a century ago. The planners are only one division of the endless procession which began to march at the nation’s birth and will continue to move until the end. “Prom the beginning Washington was founded and has developed in an architectural fashion which belongs to the ages. Even in the semi-public buildings the classi- cal precedents have been followed; schools, engine- houses and police stations have recently reverted to colonial styles and to that of the early days of the re- public, generally called the Georgian. Bahks and other important structures find individuality within the limits of renaissance forms. Thus. Washington attains dignity combined with unity; while variety is secured by the expression of the particular purpose to which the build- ing is put.” Is Beauty Old-Fashioned? (Bertrand Russell in Harper’s Magazine) There 1s something that sounds old-fashioned about beauty, though it is hard to say why. A modern painter would be indignant if he were accused of seeking beauty. Most artists nowadays appear to be inspired by some kind of rage against the world, so that they wish rather to give significant pain than to afford serene satisfac- tion. Moreover, many kinds of beauty require that a man should take himself more seriously than is possible for an intelligent modern. A leading citizen of a small city state, such as Athens or Florence, could without diffi- culty feel himself important. The earth was the center of the universe, man was the purpose of creation, his own city showed man at his best, and he himself was among the best in his own city. In such circumstances Aeschylus or Dante could take his own joys or sorrows seriously. He could feel that the emotions of the in- dividual matter, and that tragic occurrences deserve to be celebrated in immortal verse. But the modern man, when misfortune assails him, is conscious of himself as a unit in a statistical total; the past and the future stretch before him in a dreary pro- cession of trivial defeats. Man himself appears as a somewhat ridiculous strutting animal, shouting and fussing during a brief interlude between infinite silences. Is man “no more but such a poor, bare, forked ani- mal?” says King Lear, and the idea drives him to mad- ness because it is unfamiliar. But to the modern man the idea is familiar and drives him only to triviality. Moral Turpitude in North Dakota (St. Paul Dispatch) Morality was once quite a simple matter, Right was right and wrong was wrong, and everyone of mature and sound mind was presumed to know the difference. That, however, was before the legislators got busy with modern amendments to the code of right conduct. Now it takes a wise judge to tell the difference, and even they are in disagreement. Thus some members of the North Da- kota supreme court think that to break the prohibition laws is an offense against morality and others think not. But inasmuch as there are three judges who say it is, against only two who say it is not, the official ver- dict for people of North Dakota is that when they make, sell or carry liquor they cover themselves with moral turpitude. By the same token, if the three judges are right, then everyone since history began who made, sold or transport- ed liquor from place to place has been an immoral per- son, Almost the only people who as a race have been pure in this respect are those millions who embrace the Mohammedan and other faiths which enjoin the teetotal practice, and even these have fallen from the stricter def- inition of purity by purveying to others what they would not consume themselves. To get down to modern times, nearly all the world save America must be smirched with moral turpitude and among even Americans it,is a matter of common knowledge that these immoral practices are not unknown among otherwise respectable persons comprising, if cur- rent signs are to be trusted, a large proportion of the total population. Only consider the case of the social hostess who serves the forbidden cocktail before dinner. She is, by edict of three North Dakota judges, guilty of moral turpitude, and were she an allen seeking admittance to these shores, like @ famous English countess a few years ago, might be barred by some inspector of immigration as Mable to contaminate the virtues of America. ‘The practical upshot of the North Dakota decision is that a man who carries or sells a pint of whisky can go to jail for life, if he happens to have been guilty of three previous offenses of equal’ or greater immorality. The habitual criminal act of the state specifies that it is not to apply to offenses made felonies by statute, but only to those involving moral turpitude. The court says that bootlegging and its associated crimes are not merely felonious because lawmakers have said so, but that they are morally wrong in themselves. Thus is written a new commandment for the world by three North Dakota judges, and the noble experiment in social control be- comes indeed a crusade. oo Today Is the | Anniversary of MILL'S BIRTH On May 20, 1806, John Stuart. Mil, English philosopher and economist, and, regarded as one of the foremost, thinkers of his time, was born in Lon- don, Taught at home by his father, Mill is said to have begun the study of Greek at the age of three. When he was 16, his father sent him to France to be educated. His stay there also gave him an intense interest in poli- ties. On his return to London he entered the India house as a clerk in the ex- aminer’s office, where his father was assistant examiner. He remained with the company for 33 years and rose gradually until he became head of the political department. Mill took an active part in the po- litical discussions that followed the Revolution of 1830 in France and in the Reform bill movement in Eng- land. He established his reputation, however, by publishing- his philo- sophical work, “A System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive.” The success of this work paved the way ©1950 bY'N BEGIN HERE TODAY NATALIE CONVERSE tries to conquer her jealousy over AN. | But ber husband, AL. atter explat e widow hi been waiting for portunity to farther her schem hen Natalle next comes to the mi her out to dim ‘The NORMANS invite Al Natalie for a week-e!

Alan wouldn't see the flowers before Natalie received them. It would then be too late for. him to interfere. Phillipa asked for the very cheap- est orchid she could buy, paid for it—she ordered only one—from petty cash, and hid her frugality from Alan. ‘HEN Natalie received the bloom she puckered ber lips an ine stant, wondering if Alan had been cheated. He did not send her flow- ers often, but always they were perfect, Anyhow, she said to herself, the orchid could be worn to Gladys’ bridge that afternoon. A bit out of ee ordinary, perhaps, but what of it? As she expected, the flower ex- cited some comment among her friends, but she soon had a rival to share the honors with her. Wanda Perry came in wearing a bigger and better orchid, two ‘of them, in fact. Everyone gasped. It was not an orchid crowd, except on very spe- cial occasions. Wanda laughed. Her voice was loud and mirthless, frankly noisy. “Get an eyeful,” she urged Gladys’ guests; “and see what it costs my daddy to have long legs.” “What do you mean, long legs?” she was asked, “Steppin’,” she explained suc- cinctly. “Don't you think I know the unwritten law?

PROTEINS AND THEIR COMBINATIONS Protein foods furnish the most im- portant material for building and re- pairing the body cells, When more protein is used than is necessary for just this, the remainder may be con- verted into energy. The most impor- tant proteins are the lean muscular Parts of animals, birds, and fish; also milk, cheese, nuts, and the legumes. Some of these are a little more diffi- cult to digest than others, the most easily digested being the almost pure proteins, such as lean meat and skimmed milk, The more difficult ones are those which are mixed with other food substances, such as the nuts, some of which contain large quantities of fat and some also large quantities of starch, and the legumes, such as peas, beans and lentils which contain large quantities of starch. The protein parts of these foods are not digested in the mouth any more than they are with the dog or other carnivorous animals. It is a good plan to chew meat well not be- cause it is thereby mixed with saliva, but because the chewing breaks the meat into small particles so that it can be better acted upon by the stomach’s digestive fluids, and also because the latter are stimulated to flow by the agreeable flavor of the meat when you are chewing it. When protein food enters the stom- ach it soon mixes with the gastric juices which are prepared by nature to take care of proteins only. If starches are used at the same meal with proteins, they only interfere with the digestion of the meat, fish or other proteins. If too much starchy food is taken at the same time, it only absorbs a large part of the stom- ach’s juices and often not enough gastric juice is left to properly con- vert-the meat into peptones, the form in which it can be assimilated. The non-starchy vegetables may be used with meat because they do not absorb as much of the gastric juice and therefore do not interfere with diges- tion. For this reason it is a good Plan to use the cooked and raw greens with a meat meal and avoid the starchy food, such as bread, po- tatoes, rice, macaroni and spaghetti. These foods, when used, should be eaten at a non-meat meal. The. average person really needs about one-fourth of a pound of pro- tein each day, preferably at the noon or evening meal. The meat combi- nation should be as simple as possi- ble. Such foods as spinach, aspara- gus, strin; beans, lettuce, celery and other non-starchy vegetables, and a small amount of the stewed fruits may be used together without harm. It is advisable to use only one kind of protein at each meal, For in- stance, if meat is used it is better to use no cheese or fish at the same meal. Here is an example of what I mean by good protein combinations: No. 1. Broiled fish, combination she did not hear them. In fact, she had not witnessed Natalie's small triumph. She'd gone on to find Gladys in the room beyond. They began to play soon after Wanda’s arrival—she was t! at to come-and Natalie found herself seated at a table onee removed from Mrs. Perry, with the latter's baci toward her. Wanda Perry was never a silent Person. She began to chatter before the first hand was bid, Every hostess. who entertained her sol- emnjy resolved never to do it again, but somebow she always got asked to the next party. She had made a little money on the market, and was filled with de sire to talk about it. No one got vastly excited—the. game went on Just the same. She switched to something more intriguing. “Listen,” she said sibilantly, and leaned over the table to do it; “I've had a marvelous experience. I've made a hit with my broker.” “Indeed? Does that explain your luck?” “Don’t get nasty, Agaths. You'll all envy me, because I've heard you say what you think of Alan Con- verse. You ought to save up your pennies, and pay him a visit. He's the sweetest thing on Wall Street. So different in his office, But, of course, you've got to have some thing to attract ‘him. I don’t know what it is about me, but. . .” “Wanda!” The woman across from her spoke her name with silencing sharpness. Wanda's china- blue eyes opened wide in surprise. The other woman leaned over closer, “Natalie is just behind you,” she whispered. Natalie caught the words. Her hearing was particularly acute at the moment, for she had heard erything Wanda said. Her face flamed a bright red, and she put down a trump on her partner's ace, making an enemy for life. The remarks that followed left her undisturbed. Her mind was fully occupied with developing the picture Wanda had tched in. Her, opponents saw she was Oblivious to what was sald to ber, and tried to quiet her partner. But the woman was unforgiving, and as the play progressed, and she sat again at Natalie’s table, she took up the sword to carry on. Natalie seemed suddenly to be pierced by ber thrusts. She looked at her for 8 moment, recalling what she knew of her, to find her vulnerable spot. Then she remem- bered. This was the woman who boasted that there hadn’t been a worker in her family for several generations. Natalie ‘smiled sud- denly at her. “Mrs, Bemmer,” she said, “do you give lessons in bridge?” “Mrs. Bemmer’s instant indigna- tion called forth the rest of Nata- Hunter Y RUTH DEWEY GROVES lie's little speech. It came with cool insolence, “I thought,” she sald, “that you must; you seem to know so much about the game.” Mrs, Bemmer knew enough to subside. But Natalie soon lost in- terest in her victory. Her mind kept going back to Alan and the women clients he had; the women who saw him in his office, and found him so “different.” Her playing was poor, but noth- ing more was said about it. Once she saw Gladys looking at her with & slight frown, She knew she had become-something of a damper on the party. The temptation to throw her hand down and leave came to her, but she put it aside as being a childish way to feel. She did not join in th hubbub and laughter that attended the next progressive move at the tables. She stayed quietly in her seat. The woman who stayed with her was quiet too. Natalie felt a trifle miserable, knowing herself to be at fault, She did not care who would come to be her next partner, until sho saw Wanda Perry take the place. Then she felt that old si governal She was sickeningly afraid of it for an instant before it took entire pos- session of her. The whole thing was a familiar procedure. First there was s smothering constric- tion around her heart, then an up- ward surge of flamelike sensation that choked her, and stung her eyes. She seemed, at such times, to go mad. It frightened her to think of it in calmer moments. Feeling her self-control going now, she made @ valiant effort to keep it. Gladys must have been watching her closer than she knew, for at that instant, when her eyes Sleamed with the first of ber un- shed tears, the hostess appeared st her side, and put a hand on her arm. “Someone wants you on the tele phone, Natalie,” Gladys lied.

She suspected that Gladys had in- tervened through tact, for her friend’s finger tips were pressed deep into her flesh, It sobered her. Wan vapid countenance ceased to look jeering to her, and though her anger did not abate it turned upon Alan. She told herself that he was to blame for her humiliation. Gladys walked away from the table with her, “Never mind about the tele phone,” Natalie said when they were out of Wanda’s hearing, “I'm going home.” On the way she unpisned her orchid and threw it into the street, (To Be Continued) salad of lettuce, tomatoes, grated carrots, and cucumbers, No. 2.

P. writes: “ recently started in your ofange juicc fast for Bright's Disease. Just be- fore I started on the fast I had a urinalysis which showed albumin and hyaline casts; I also had a high blood pressure of 190. After five days of the orange juice diet the blood pres- sure is now 165, and the dropsical condition is better. There is littic albumin but no hyaline casts. Is this @ good indication, and what are thesc Answer: You seem to have had quite an improvement in so short a time, and if you have broken the fast it would probably be a good plan for you to repeat short fasts at interval: of about @ month apart. The hyaline casts are composed of protein sub- stances which seep through the small tubules of the kidneys and take their form. They indicate that the kid- neys are not functioning properly, and usually indicate Bright's Disease. 1 feel sure that you will notice a still greater improvement if you will ad- here to the instructions. Don't Fear Eliminations Question: Mrs. G. H. G. writes: “I am troubled with lots of gas and nervous indigestion. I recently tried the orange juice fast, but broke out so dreadfully in three days that I quit. ‘What would have caused this?” Answer: The breaking out that you had while on the fast was no doubt a dietetic crisis, and the erup- tions on your skin were caused by the increased elimination of toxins which irritated the skin as they passed through it. You should have continued on the fast a few days longer and they would have disap- peared, after which you could have used @ well balanced diet and been careful of your food combinations. when I feel sure you would have: noticed improvement.
