LATIN-AMERICAN REVOLTS END SEEN Panama Minister Tells Study | Club Peace Is Sup- planting Strife. The era of revolutions in Latin America 18 practically over, Dr. Don Ricardo J. Alfaro, minister from Panama to the United States, sald In an address vesterday afternoon be- fore the Political Study Club at the Franklin Square Hotel. ““There may be armed conflicts oc- easionally In one or two natlons, whers politiclans have not yet aban- doned the practice of seeking in the field of battle the solution of prob- lems that can only be solved at the polls,” the speaker continued, “but these unfortunate exceptions will not destroy the assertion that Latin America s fully awake today to the Teallzation that there are no evils that peace cannot cure and that the solutions of force are neither wise nor permanent Problem of Education. South American problem is ane of education,” the Minis- ter continued. “Schools and roads is today the slogan of Panama. Roads to reach the schools; schools to wipe out illiteracy and enlighten the peo- ple. Democratic perfection is attain- ed only through education. Educa- tion is the foundation of all civic vir- tue. And the truth is that no laws are bad when the rulers are good men and no laws are good when the rulers are bad.’ In_concluding a brief history of the South American revolutions Min- ister Alfaro declared: “It {sn't that we are more barbaric or less intelll- gent. It is only that we had not been trained for independent political life when we attained emancipation, and we have been compelled by the law of human evolution to go through the same suffering and through the same hard experience other peoples have had to undergo before attaining po- litical perfection and complete sta- bility. *The mainly Holds Treaty Unique. The treaty hetween the United States and Panama concerning the Panama Canal, the speaker sald, “cre- ates between the Republic of Panama and the Tnited States unique and peculiar tie ch as exist between no other two nations of the world." Under the treaty this country is given jurisdictional rights in the canal to be exerclsed, as the treaty says. “as If they were sovereign the Minister explained. adding: “The existence, of the two jurisdictions In contiguous territories has sometimes produced friction and conflicts of opinion be- tween the two governments, but the people of Panama have never felt un- friendly toward the United States, and during the World War Panama entered the cause of the allies the moment the United States declared war upon Germany. “There has always existed a mu- tual desire to settle our affalrs in spirit of conciliation and it may sald of the differences between the United States and Panama that they are caused by our exceptionaily close tles and that quarrels are more com- mon between brothers than between strangers, precisely on account of their relationship.” Decries Romance View. Dr. Alfaro said “in the mind of a Bood many people the Latin Ameri- can republics are just a group of lovely countries usually referred to as ‘down thers,’ where Spanish is poken, women are timid and ro- mantic, men spend thelr time play- ing the gultar or fighting in revolu- tions and, in a word, things are very much the way they appear in moving pictures with the so-called ‘Spanish atmosphere.’ “Only well informed and intelligent persons who are somewhat familiar with the geography and history of our countries know that Brazil has a greater area than the United States; that the trade and wealth of Cuba is larger per capita than any other in the world; that the University of San Marcos in Lima is older than Harvard, and that the City of Panama was founded exactly 100 years be- fore the Pllgrims landed on Plymouth Rock.” The speaker sald “it Latin Americans “know America than the Anglo- know about South America. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Longfellow, Emerson, Poe, Grant, Lee or Jackson are familiar to every Latin high school boy, whil me of such & portentous genius Bolivar is only beginning to be in the United States.” AMERICAN U.

Special Dispateh to The Star. DENVER, January 17.—Only by im. prisonment or death of the priests, will Gov. Morley, as reputed repre- sentative of the Ku Kiux Klan, force the discontinuance of the use of wine for sacramental purposes. And the jafls will have to be filled to over- flowing and bodles plled in tiers in the cemeteries, according to an ulti- matum hurled today at the State gov- ernment hy the Denver Catholic Reg- ister, official paper of the church in the dlocese of Colorado. “Because,” says the ultimatum, priests will be sent here by the hundreds to take the places of those who might be put to death or impris. oned by the klan government and mass wlill continue to be celebrated and regularly, too. The controversy started when Gov. Morley, in his inaugural address, rec- ommended that a law be passed abol- ishing the use of wine for sacra- mental purposes, on the ground that the privilege was belng abused. Father Matthew Smith, editor of the Register, says the governor is paying part of the debt he owes the Ku Klux Klan for electing him in November. Father Smith denles that the Catholic Church has ever abused the privilege granted under the prohibition laws CHILDREN IN NEED OF MEDICAL CARE Survey Shows Diseased Ton- sils and Decayed Teeth in Half of Young Here. “Examination of 1.494 kindergarten and first grade children in the public schools of the District of Columbia last year by the medical inspectors of the schools revealed the presence of diseased tonsils in 44.1 per cent, ob- structipn to nasal breathing in 19.2 per cent, chronic nasal catarrh in 6.8 per cent, and decayed teeth in 51.2 per cent. This statement was made yesterday by Dr. Joseph A. Murphy, chief medi- cal and sanitary inspector of the Health Department, in response to in- quiry addressed to him by the Wash- ington Tuberculosis Assoclation in connection with its campaign of health education and to get the facts before the Washington public. “This constitutes a serious handi- cap to the present and future health of these children,” continued Dr. Murphy. “The pre-school and early school periods in the lives of children is the time when there is great ac- tivity of tonsils, adenolds and lymph glands. Disease of thess structures and the resultant obstruction to their functions at this time frequently cause changes which may cause per- manent damage to health May Affect Heart. “The enlargement of tonsils and adenoids, caused by infection, not only causes mechanical obstruction to proper breathing. with the detri- ‘mental effects upon the child's health, due to this cause, but the infection itself, which has entered the teeth, tonsils or lymph glands, frequently extends to other and distant parts of the body, where it may cause infec- tion and disease of the heart or other vital organs. “The nutrition of children s fre- quently affected by polsons which may arise from the continued growth of infecting organisms in the tonsils, teeth, glands or other parts of the body where the infection may ex- tend. ‘A diseased tonsil, or obstructior to nasal breathing by adenolds, or decayed teeth, should be looked upon as & werfous condition, in urgent need of {mmediate attention, and a sore throat should be regarded also as an exceedingly serious condition, not only to the individual suffering from it but also to those who come ir contact with the case. Sore Throat Dangerous. “During the acute sore throat the Infecting organisms causing the dis- ease are exceedingly virulent and destructive. It is during this period enpecially when the Infection is like- Iy to spread to other parts of the body as well as to be communicated to others by oral or nasal discharges This takes place easily when small particles are sprayed from the mouth and nose by sneezing, coughing, talk- ing and laughing “School children and pre-schoo children should be examined regular- 1y not only by thelr parents, but alsc by a competent physiclan to whether these conditions ex! 1t present, immediate steps should be taken to remove all physical defects Al children suffering from sore throat, fever or acute colds should be taken out of school, kept in bed during the acute stage, given medic: attention, and Isolated as far as practicable from other children and other members of the household. “Better health, fewer {linesses, and longer life will be the reward for cleaner mouths, fewer diseased ton- sils and earller recognition of sore throats and acute colds, and quick care in thelr treatment as serious infections.” close see GIRLS’ RIFLE TEAM CHOSEN AT ARMSTRONG Basket Ball Team Plays Well Against Older Teams—Ban- quet for Eleven.

The regular Wednesday motion pic- ture entertainments for the benefit of the athletic association have been resumed. “Wanderers of the Waste- lands” was the film shown at opening. The national craze for cross-words has found its way Into the classroom, and teachers of English and history are devising puzzles which tend to emphasize certain features of their work. Children are seen very fre- quently poring over the cross-word puzzles of The Star, and dictionaries are more In demand than at any previous time. BIG GAME HUNT STARTS.
