The war department has announced that the post must be abandoned by June. Of course the war department has spoken before and its commitments have been vetoed.

Her troops are reported to be well equipped and well trained by German officers. At the outset,! Russia could place a bigger army in the field than Japan—and possibly one as good as Japan's. In the air she would have a marked superiority, for Russia is one of the leading pow- ers from the standpoint of acrial preparedness. But Japan could get foreign loans, and Russia could not. Japan could buy war munitions abroad, and Rus- sia could not. Japan, pitted against powerful opposition, would have in- Portant allies, Russia would not.

Swan New York, Nov. 27.—It was during the intermission between acts two rin three of those very smart come- es. All the wits, ermines, sophisticates and public social figures were care- | fully shuffled on the sidewalk, under @ sheltering theater marquee. | Out of the half-dark of the street i areaway leading to Sixth avenue sud- denly appeared two young womel. One was about 24, and not unattrac- tive. The other appeared to be slightly younger, was poorly dressed and slovenly of appearance. And to the amazement of the ritzy gathering, these two girls began to “panhandl 1d In the several years that I have dwelt in New York, I have seen many things—but never before have I en- countered young women who had sunk to the whining’ snivel of the fawning street beggars. They went about their sniveling with the pro- fessional air of those half-men who: clutter the New York streets. *% * One used the old line: “Cantcha help a girl getta cupa coffee . . .” ‘The other’s approach was «different. ... “Cantcha helpa girl get a room so’s she can stay straight...” Obviously they were working to- gether; probably to gather courage. To be sure we have all been told time and again about the equal rights of women with men; we've watched them launch successfully into busi- ness; we've seen them occupy high posts in the world of law and bank- ing and merchandising. So I assume they should have the equality of the gutter, as well. x * * Some weeks ago, Konrad Bercovici was telling me the tale of a young woman whose fortunes were at the lowest ebb. And he declared her to be the finest type of feminine inde- pendence—a glowing example of her ‘sex. The scene was one of those free Care of the Teeth One of the significant develop- fs wise economy to leave the troops where they are in certain instances. In some of these localities there has been little justification for retaining’ tthe posts, but the citizens were able to convince the war department that there was. Bismarck can do 50. When the order sbandoning the fvacuation of Fort Lincoln was res- rinded temporarily, it was announced that additional time was to be given for North Dakota to present its case. {The matter should have been carried to Washington long ago through the media of a convincing brief and an influential committee, not picked en- ‘tirely of local men, but state-wide in| its personnel. Better still, represent- atives from the area which is served by the C. M. T. C. There is no time to be lost. Local ferces should get busy and org for the retention of the post. There are many inducements which the @uthorities at Washington don't know and it is this city’s business to see that nothing is left undone to keep the post active. Bismarck, during the last decade, Bhowed the greatest growth of any city in the state. It must not only fight to retain what it has but go efter new enterprises. Too much time has been lost al- eady in temporizing. Continued pro- erestination will be fatal to success. A state-wide committee, which will (fommand respect and a hearing at ‘Washington, should be named with- but delay. Some of the smaller local projects; an be sidetracked temporarily for ® consideration of the major issues. One Thing Certain . If the League of Nations with its @taff of reporters, counselors and ad- fvisors cannot be sure of the situa~ tion in Manchuria and what is going on there, the average American cili- wen can hardly be expected to do 80. But of one thing we can be sure and that is the fact we are living fn war days. When one nation makes armed invasion of another and a de- fending army gives battle, it is war. There is no other name for it, re- ardless of any formal declarations ‘which may be made by the govern- ments involved. As to the details of the matter and qwho is right or wrong, we can only guess, basing the hazard on what few things we know definitely. ‘Chief among these are the modera hhistory of China in which the great Oriental country has been subjected to the duress and greed of more war- Bike nations; in which we have seen the “celestial empire” torn asunder by conflicting political groups and ideas, and in which vast stretches g@pparently have no organized gov- ernment at all; the rivalry between Japan and Russia in which China has been little more than an impor- tant pawn. The part which Russia has been playing in the present crisis is ob- écure and that it should be so is one of the most remarkable phascs of the whole business. For Russia hhas a big stake in Manchuria. It has its own “sphere of influence” there gust as Japan has hers. And now that Japan has invaded the Russian @rea we might reasonably expect the Goviet to do something definite about tt. Certainly Russia has no reason to feel friendly to the Japanese action anless—and the unless is important ments of the fall season has been the decision by the American Dental association, in its recent convention at Memphis, to use advertising to educate the public about dental hy- glene. This in no way marks a break with the established rule that individual dentists are not to advertise them- selves. The association as a whole will handle the matter through a new bureau in an effort to keep the public informed about the proper care of the teeth; and the results should be highly beneficial. The old saying about an ounce of prevention and a pound of cure is nowhere so apt as in the care of the teeth. If the association, through advertising, can drive the lesson’ home, it will be doing the whole coun- try a service.

Admit the Mistake (New York World-Telegram) A sure sign of bigness is willingness to admit a mistake. Yet such will- ingness is one of the rarest of human traits. It is inconceivable that President Hoover now regards the Heawley- Smoot tariff as anything else than a mistake. Evidence of that fact has mounted constantly since the bill was signed. Reprisals from abroad, “flight” ot American industry and American capital to foreign lands, decreased exports, increased depression—those have been the result. ; As one critic sums it up, “the Haw- ley-Smoot tariff has substituted the hostility of foreign countries for pre- vious friendship; has resulted in re- taliatory action and markets closed 0 our commerce in all parts of the land; has driven huge sums of cio- mestic capital into foreign fields where, within foreign tariff walls, American capitalists escape the re- taliatory and other tariff barriers and employ foreign labor in place of pre- viously-paid American labor.” No one in this nation is in a better or disagree Position to see and to. realize the blighting results than is President Hoover. His experience alone as Secretary of Commerce equipped hin to sense in detail the fundamental weaknesses of the thing which he in a time of great political pressure signed, which constitutes the great mistake of the Hoover administra- jon. That mistake can be remedied, and remedied quickly. A repeal of the Hawley-Smoot bill would be inevitable of the American people. ‘Will President Hoover have the big- ness that is necessary to admit a mistake?

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXIII HAT had happened at Hilltop Inn, as Bowen told it, was this: After waiting in vain for Mary to telephone him, he had hired a car and driven out the Dixie High- way to the Inn to see for himself what happened to her. He found the place empty except for the pro- prietor and went inside the frame shack to telephone the Ambassador and ask if she was there. While standing at the wall tele- phone he heard a party arrive and seat themselves at a porch table. They were quiet enough at first, ordering soft drinks over which the woman cooed with interest, but presently their voices rose excitedly. Bowen, who was enduring one of those interminable waits which Seem :o ensue whenever a hotel clerk is assailed by a request for in: formation, exchanged amused glances with the waiter, and they both frankly listened. The argument seemed to be over 8 diamond bracelet which fell out of the woman's handbag when ehe took out powder and lipstick to re- fresh her jaded complexion, accord: ing to the man behind the counter, who enjoyed a full view of the fra cas, “Who gave it to you? Who gave it to you?” the woman's companion demanded repeatedly, grasping her wrist. “But it ts not what you think!” the woman prot a given to me to hold a loan of money. When the money i paid back, I give back the brace- et!” The quiet this statement induced in the infuriated lover was more ominous than his rage, however, “You—loaned—my—money? whom? De Loma?” , “Your money?” the Countess re- *torted with spirit and perhaps with justice, for Bruce’s allowance wad far trom princely these days. “When met-nway .do I ever see your money? No, {t was the money I won on the horse race. And I loaned it to a woman— pide man. You ure mad if you say “You gave it to De Loma,” Bruce Teneated calmly. t was @ woman, I tell you! upid, what would a man be doing bractlet like that?” am wondering,” Bruce replied. Towen, who bad now posscssed self of a knothole view of the -eedings, was conv by the ding harduess of Bruce Jupi- tes expression that the inident had opened a new vein of thought to the young man—and one which might prove fruitful. The Countess, obviously fright: ened, resorted to tears, recrimina- tions, pouts and sobs. There Were wails of: “You are a beast. You do not love me!” “Oh, yes, I love you, my dear Louise. But if I loved you twice as much, I still shouldn't put up with “You don’t believe me?” “No, my dear Louise, I do not.” eee At this point dear Louise quite lost her head, and hurled a vol- ley of gutter French at her erst- while lover, who sat calmly sucking at the straw of bis lemon soda until her outburst was over. Not too lost to reason to be crafty, the Countess abandoned her tirade as suddenly as she began it and sank into her chair, trembling and tearful. “Well, then, I will tell you,” she said. “I promised to say nothing to anyone. But, since you are such a pig, I break that promise. When we get back to the hotel, I show her to you.” . “Her—who?” “The one I loan money to—the one whose bracelet it is!” Bruce was puzzled but uncon- vinced. “All right, who was it?” he snapped. “Well, then—if I must tell you— Miss Harkness! - But please—do not let her know 1 say this—” Bruce digested this a moment. “What would Mary Harkness be doing with a bracelet like that? That’s worth $5000 if it’s worth a cent! And why should she borrow monty from you when she could pawn it? And why should she need money anyway?” ‘The Countess shrugged. “How do I know where she gets the bracelet? Perhaps some man gives it to ber «*+ + Perhaps your father?” Bruce snapped “You're crazy!” But his laugh did not carry con- viction. “She does not wish to pawn it because of . . . the sentiment . the Countess continued, “so . . Bruce snorted incredulously. “She'd pawn it before she'd let you have it,” he decided. “She hates you, you know, because she thinks I’m going to marry you.” He realized his error in bringing up the subject of marriage, evidently, by the quick flush that overspread his face. The Countess’ steady look did not waver. “And . . .? she purred signifi- cantly. “We'll not talk about that,” Bruce cut her off. “We've talked it all out before a dozen times. I owe something to my father’s wishes, And besides, as I've told you, tor me to do that would simply mean that he would cut me off without a penny. Life ina Paris garret holds no charms for me, and as for you, my dear Louise—” he threw back his tiead and laughed boisterously. “Poh! You make always the ex- cuse,” Louise replied coldly “But 1 no longer believe that. Le papa fs not an ogre such as you paint him—he is a sweet enfant, that papa of yours! He :s not bad like you say!” Cai! him father, and see what a sweet infant he is. Don't be fooled simply because he hasn't inrown you out of the house. He's too wise for that. But let the wed ding bells tinkle ever so Ii! and you'd see!

Then suppose I tell you it was De Loma?"| Her tone changed to a shrill fish- wife scream. “Why should I not help him when he is in trouble? Is it nothing that once we were lovers? Ha, you did not know that, did you? 1 tell you this now—I loved him more than ever 1 have loved you! At least he is a man of his word and that is more than you are, Monsieur Bruce Jupiter, the artist!” eee 'HRUSTING the bracelet defiant- ly on her white arm, the thor- oughly heated young woman flounced off in high dudgeon. After a brief interval there sounded from |the road the low chuckle and roar of the Lorimor’s engine starting up and the diminishing sound of its passage into the distance. Bruce continued to smoke and to sip his drink in silence, making no j move to follow. If Louise’s taunt had jarred him he did not show it. His bland and unruffled coun- tenance was as carefree, his man- ner as debonair as if he were seat; ed at a sidewalk table of one of his own Paris cafes. Bowen began to fear that he was to be kept smother- ing behind the hot wooden wall of the shack indefinitely, until a quick reconnaissance showed that he could leave by the far door and gain his own car without being seen by the preoccupied Bruce. It was a low trick to go off and leave the other man marooned in that out-of-the-way spot but he did not relish being caught in the role of eavesdropper. And he fancied Bruce would not care for the {dea, either. Besides, Bowen had a notion this would. be an excellent time to se cure @ snapshot of the lady—while her cavalier was far away, and in no mood for smashing cameras or impertinent reporters’ noses, “She got away from me, though,” Bowen concluded sadly, “The Lori- Mor went away from there like a bat out of hell. That coughing old tax! of mine couldn’t even sight it, But I'm laying for her just the same. Borrowed a graflex from one of the picture men on the News and I'll be hanging around the front door of the Ambassador un- less they chase me away. And I don’t think they will.

The sun’s “ight, everything’s 0. K. I've got a hunch I can dig up some dirt on her if the boys in the police morgue get a good look at her.” Mary was more than dubious; she was frightened. “She wouldn't do anything for me,” she objected. “I'm afraid of that woman, to tell the truth! And from your account, she must be wild!” “Oh, have a heart! Yell ‘fire’ or something! Shoo her out here just long enough for me to get a picture, I'll wait. Better hurry, though, before Bruce gets back and makes it up with her, the sap.” | ~ “I don’t promise anything,” Mary said, “I can try, but that’s all.” “0.

ROSS: “HAILE dered sandwiches and iced drin!:s sent up to ber own room. Then, with trepidation turning her knees to jelly, she went down the hall and tapped on the other woman’s door. If she lost a moment, she knew her courage would ooze away entirely.’ “Who fs it?” came in muffled tones after a moment's pause. “It's 1,” Mary said gently, trying to soften the blow. Louise must have hoped to hear Bruce's voice, contrite and pleading, “What do you want?” The door was jerked open about a foot, re- vealing the Countess in heelless mules and a thin green silk robe, her thick black hair pushed back as she wiped cold-cream from her cheeks with a towel. Wiped clean of make-up, she looked younger than Mary had ever seen her—like a sulky, sensuous child. Her eyes hore the traces of recent tears. “I've sent for some tea—I thought you'd like some—I didn't know you weren't fecling well,” Mary stammered. = Tue Countess averted her tell- tale eyes, She walked about the room restlessly, stopping to shake an empty packet of cigarets. She tossed it away angrily. “Come just as you are,” Mary, urged, “There's no one about.” Perhaps Louise surprised her- self as well as Mary, but she came, wrapping her robe moro securely about her, Perhaps her tit with Bruce had made her welcome fe male company for a change. “Tea?” she exclaimed scornfully. “In this weather? Horrible idea!” “Iced tea, The American ver sion. It’s really very good. Try it.” With a pronounced sneer on her lips, Louise stretched out a white bare arm and accepted a glass gin- gerly, Midway of the soft round forearm flashed a beautiful dia mond bracelet. “Oh, what a divine bracelet!” Mary exclaimed, “Have I seen it before?” At the same moment that the words came from her lips, the real- ization came to her that she had seen {t before—on the arm of Mrs. Jupiter! Of course, that was what happened. The Fly, unable to dis- pose of the loot because of the tre- mendous publicity given the case, together with a minute description of the jewels, was reduced to the expedient of borrowing on it from his erstwhile love. He must bave been hard pressed for money, and probably risked letting it out of his possession only on that hard- headed business woman's insis% ence, But chance had foiled their ta- tention of secrecy. Or had the Countess let the beautiful bauble be seen deliberately? Bruce's affec- tions needed whipping up, if Mary was any judge. And a little dis- creet, fealousy would do the trick! The Countess stood without re plying. She had no idea how De Loma had come by the bracelet and the thought that Mary might be speaking seriously disquieted her, This was only for a moment. “Do you Mke it?" she said negligently. “It was ® present from my—from my former hus band.” Mary felt a choking sense of exe citement, She must get that hrace let! It would be damning evidence against The Fly—perhaps enough in ftself to hans -bim for Mrs Jupiter’s murder. As she stood turning the circlet in ber fingers, pretending to ex: amine it, thero came a loud rap at the door. Both women jumped. {asked for room service and or (To Be Continued) | _By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN ; Editor, Journal of the American j Medical Association \ Children from one to five years of age are included in the group called “pre-school” children. There has been @ gradual tendency to consider children of these ages as different ‘from nurslings or older children, but the two groups merge together so gradually that this is perhaps an error, In Birmingham, England, clinics have been available for regular ex- amination of children from 18 months {to five years of age. Out of 6,500 {such children, 41 per cent had en- |larged tonsils, 27 per cent had en- |larged glands, 2.5 per cent infected lears, and 28 per cent defective teeth. Furthermore, a considerable percent- age had definite signs of rickets. Among the chief causes of death in children of these ages are respira- tory infections, including influenza and pneumenia, and also infections Daily Health Service PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN SHOULD !

Sitting at the win- dow, Konrad had watched one girl walk back and forth several times. She was trying to gather sufficient courage to ask for food. Obviously, the idea galled her. But hunger won —and she entered. Sitting down, she noticed several faces and went to chat with another girl. While waiting to be served, she was offered a cigaret. The cigaret was a mere gesture—she lit it! At that moment, a ‘severe-lodking woman Was about to serve her. Not- ing the clgaret, the servant of charity quickly put the food behind her. “You Cannot smoke here ... we cannot serve you, I'm efraid,” the woman began. There were other comments on the girl’s casual atti- tude. “The girl was hungry—more hun- gry, perhaps, than anyone will know,” Konrad told me later. “Yet she rose, and without a word walked out the door.
