P to The Naval Yardstick. During the week ended today, since Ambessador Dawes presented his cre- dentia)s to King George at Windsor, the | Anglo-American program for further | limitation of naval armament hes been substantislly sdvanced. Here and there, in America and abroad, disappointment i evinced over the fact that more con- | crete Tesults have not been already | achieved. Such emotions are unjustified and unreasonable, Rome was not built in & day. We have no right to expect the naval millennium by special delivery, We should be satisfied that it s .on'| the way, as it indubitably is. Since Gen. Dawes and Premier Mac- Donald met on June 16 and spoke in public on June 18, momentous progress may be recorded. In the first place, | their conversations and' their speeches were notice to the world that, the: twain of great English-speaking demecracies is of one determined mind on the ques- tion of reducing sea armament. Amer- foa and Britain, it was simultaneously disclosed by Messrs. Dawes and Mac- Donald, agree that statesmanship, not that the two countries have not marched in seven-league boots toward their ap- pointed goal? 1 ‘There have been two other develop- | mpents during the week, of hardly less significance. 48 the acquiescence of Japan ' 19, ‘within tmw'imrl ~MacDonald utter- Buliding were deciared unsafe, the sit- ustion would probably be repeated there, No mioney would be avallable to fix able. ‘The Police Court decision, while it | may do nothing to bring sbout radical | changes in the operation of elevators n | | Government-owned bulldings, will at | putting Into effect some needed revisions | to private bulldings. and the Police Court decision has pre- | sented the opportuntty to make them | effective. - Church and State. | ‘The world will rejoice that the gov- ernment of Mexico and the Catholic Church have reached & settiement, While the conwoversy between: state and church. in the Southern republic heas existed for mearly three-quarters | of a century, with periods of apparent peace interspersed, the abeolute break between the two occurred July 31, 1926. | During the three iotervening years Catholic Church services conducted in | Mexico have been in secrel; there have Leen no public services. 1o & popula- tion - very largely Catholic the condi- | tions existing have been particularly distressing. | | | tween church and stale three years ago | | and resulted in a withdrawal of many | Catholic prelates and priests from the | country, is traceable directly o the laws, | former President Calles | in June, effect of those laws was (o restrict the | ministry to native Mexicans, to forbid | “réligious corporations” from establish- | ing and directing primary schools, and to subject all private schools to govern- ment supervision. - Monastic orders were prohibited; religious confraternities and convents were dissolved, all church bulldings were put under government supervision and church property was taken over andplaced in charge of a} caretaker. Earlier the government had provided that a minister (0 exercise must register in his municipality. It | ‘was this order by the government par- ticularly which made it impossible for the church and the stale to reach any agréement: up o the present time. ‘These restrictions piaced upon .the churchl were protésted vigorously by the | Catholic prélates, Acting en the Pope’s | spproval they closed their churches | throughout the country on Sunday, | 31, 1926.

But one tangle leads to another and. this ©case is no exception. The Police Court decision was founded on the contention that the building code does not apply to Government-owned buildings, and that elevator Tegulations, drawn under ‘the bullding code, therefore discrimi- into sllows the Catholic hierarchy to designate thobe priests who are to| Tegister in compliance with the laws of Mexico. This concession on the part of ‘the government' removes the chief stumbling block which has prevented a settlement in the past.

Sore backs get sorer, necks get rawer and cuts in the corners of the mouth and under the backpads get deeper. Owners gel sleepier, and drivers fall to notice the tossing head and, frowning ears of the volceless creature trying to tell its woe. Horses are tortured by the check- rein, for there still exists the false no- tion' that this greatest source of misery for horses is necessary for the control of the auimals; this torture has been responsible for innumerable runaways and loss of life. Checkreins should be discarded or the straps lengthened until the mouth can take place. The pain caused by an iron bit sawing into raw flesh day after day wil weaken the heart, until blind staggers occurs or the horse will be overcome by heat. Too small bridles help to cut the mouth, ‘Too small collars a source of suf- fering, like & tight shoe on the human foot. The writer has noted that some (wish there were more) business men keep a breast collar and pass it around among their work horses as the necks become sore. Why not use these hu- e collars in the first place and pre- vent the necks from becoming sore? In- Italy all horses are driven with breast collars, which enable the animals to stand up better under the immense loads and busy whips. breast collars are universally used; these thrifty people canuot afford v waste their money and horse flesh with hame As an instrument of torture, d, with its iron rivets and er, is & good second to the CARRIE K.

For the de- velopment of surgery a knowledge of anatomy was necessary, and the first anatomy students were obliged to resort to grave robbery in order to secure material, because of the superstitious prejudice against: dissection. The first greal anatomist was Andreas Vesalius, professor of anatomy at Padua, who, ‘when only 23, dissected the human body and drew valuable conclusions from his accurate observations. Among the in- teresting facts related by Dr. Haggard are that Cotton Mather, witch burner, was ar early defender of vaccination; that the first war-time medical agree. ment, forerunner of the modern work of the Red Cross, was between the French and the Boglish after the battle of Dettingen, and that Dr. Oliver Wen- dell Holmes was the first to discover that puerperal fever was infectious, *x ox x A ‘Two ch;l‘dul;l of Uhg‘l:.!
