NEW ARMS PARLEY 1S COOLIDGE'S IDEA TOAID PEAGE PACT Believes Land Armament Conference Would Help the Situation. U.S. TO DO EVERYTHING IN ITS POWER TO ASSIST State Department Will Begin Care- ful Study of Treaty Signed at Lecarno. B the Associated Press President Coolidge believes a limit tlon of armaments conference in Ku- rope would be helpful and useful, and hopes the Locarno security pact will expedite the holding of such a confer- ence If it is possible for Europe to reach an agreement for the reduction of land | armements, it was said at the White House today, Mr. Coolidge would favor such a step. Ie realizes that the United States has little, if anything, to offer in the way of reduction of its land forces but, at the holds that any question involving a further limitation of naval armaments could be considered by a conference in this country with greater hope of a successful agreement The President recognizes that step can be taken by the Washington Government in the direction of a Naval limitation conference until the interested nations have been sounded out. In the meantime, he Is willing that the Washington should do all in its power, Jjeopardizing the national interests, help in the European sumably in effecting an agreement on the question of land forces, The Locarno pact is recognized by President Coolidge as an exceedingly gratifying convention. He has been informed by Secretary Kellogg that the State Department expects within a few days to begin a careful analysis of the document. The fact that the security pact was drawn by statesmen who had political considerations to keep in mind and that they were able to reach the agreement is held by the Presi- dent to be of outstanding importance. For that reason, he contends, it is a step in advance of the Dawes plan, which was arrived at by men who were freed from political consider- ation and not compelled to think of their own future as they worked. FINDS QUACK DOCTOR STILL FLOURISHING American Medical Body Official Says Styles Change, But Public Remains Gullible. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 20.—Quack doc- toring, an ancient craft, still flourish- es to an incredible extent in this age of touted public intelligence, said Dr. Arthur J. Cramp, director of the Bureau of Tnvestigation of the Amer- ican Medical Association. He spoke to officers of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolarynaology, which starts its annual convention here_today. “There are styles in quackery,” he asserted. “The prevailing modes of the season are those produc for alleged rejuvenation. They range from glandular substance of ring-tailed monkeys to radium cma nations dissolved in_drinking water. “But in quacke; there are . 'rtain old standbys that, like Tennyson’s ‘Brook.,' go on forever. Cf such are consumption and cancer cures; the epilepsy and rupture cures; the female weaknes: and weak men cures; cures for fatness and leanness; the quacks who will fit gl on no other data than your age and ability to pay the bill, and the faker who will sweepingly promise to cure deaf- ness of whatever origin “Quacks may be divided into two general classes: Those who sell a more or less elaborate but worthless course of treatment and those who dispose of trivial, worthless, often dangerous de- vices at exorbitant prices. “Virtually all of these widely adver- tised cures are sheer medical fakery. ! The testimonials, bulletins and other paraphernalia are usually made from whole cloth.” PLANS TO SEEK PYGrMIES IN AIRPLANE EXPEDITION Party to Dutch New Guinea in Trip to Last Explore a Year.
