“Eat More Lettuce” Health authorities advise a salad a day for physical well-being. Lettuce con- tains valuable minerals and vitamins needed for health. Keep heads of let- tuce in cheese-cloth bags in your re- frigerator. Before serving put the let- tuce in ice-water so that the leaves may absorb the moisture and become crisp. To dry, before placing on table, pat 1t with crumpled paper toweling. This absorbs moisture quickly and does not bruise the leaves. Use only the finest ice that buy—ice of the same high quality as your food. Then you can use it without fear for all table purposes. American Ice is pure and safe.

MORROW 70 ACT ASHOOVER WISHES Decision Regarding Senate Seat Will Rest on Confer- ence With President. ENGLEWOOD, N. J., April 30.—Am- bassador Dwight Morrow, home from the London Naval Conference, left today for Washington where he will confer with President Hoover and officials of the State Department on affairs in Mex- ico llnd matters pertaining to the naval parley. Plans for his campaign for the Re- publican nomination to the United States Senate are contingent upon the outcome of these conferences. While Mr. Morrow's friends felt he desired to return to Mexico before starting work in his campaign, his decision will be predicated upon the wishes of Mr. Hoo- ver., He plans to remain in Washing- ton for most of a week. Guillermo Zuerrago, who was de- scribed as an envoy from the President of Mexico, greeted the Ambasador upon his arrival in New York yesterday. He had a long conference with Mr. Morrow, but both refused to discuss their con- versation. This led to the conclusion that friends of the Ambassador in the Mexican government were eager for him to return to that country before enter- ing into his campaign work. Silent on Dispatches. Morrow also was silent on dispatches from Washington carrying the sugges- tion that his proposed appointment to the Senate be withheld until the naval treaty is disposed of. He is to be ap- pointed to fill the unexpired term of former Senator Edge, who resigned to becom= Ambassador to France, but he actually will succeed Senator David Baird, jr, who agreed to serve in the past until Mr. Morrow would be avail- able at the termination of the Naval « Feen-a-mint is the answer.

Now, however, his sup- porters express the belief that Mr. Mor- row will not take his proffered seat in the Senate until after the primary June 17, in which he will be a candidate for the full term, Meanwhile the date of his withdrawal from the diplomatic service is still in the indefinite stage s¢ far as public knowl- edge is concerned Success Due to Stimson. In a radio address from his home to- day Ambassador Morrow declared that Wwhatever success was attained at the Naval Disarmament Conference in Lon- don “is due in a great measure to the integrity, the courage, the industry and the constant patience of Secretary Stimson, the head of the delegation.” He pointed out that a limitation of armaments in all classes of naval ves- Upper: Secretary of State Stimson, London Naval Conference, shown as he to sign. sels among the three great naval pow- ers of the world was obtained and also some reduction effected. “Not as much as we desired,” he said, “but more than there could have been if there had been no naval con- ference. We carried on the work that was begun in Washington eight years ago. We have now made a substantial beginning in the substitution of open prescribed limitation for competition in naval armament. Competition Breeder of Distrust. “I am not sure,” he continued, “that the people of the United States appre- ciate how much danger to international peace lurks in naval competition. It is not too much to say that all nations upcn this earth look upon their arma- ment as defensive. All armament is defensive from the point of view of the nation behind the armament. But all armament is also potentially of- fensive to those nations on the other side of the armament. This means that competition is inevitably a breeder of mistrust and fear. “Armaments feed on armaments. In the vicious circle international trouble almost inevitably comes. In my opin- ion nothing had more to do with the last gfeat war than the intense com- petition in armament which preceded it. It is, .therefore, well worth while to spend some time avoiding naval competition. The essence of agree- ments for limitation of armament is that competition is to be avoided.” WOMAN IS INJURED IN TRAFFIC MISHAP Mrs. Pfeiffer Hit by Auto While Crossing Street—Two Children Accidentally Hurt, Crossing the street in front of her home, Mrs. Nellie G. Pfeiffer, 55.years old, of 3514 Thirteenth street, received serious head injuries when an automo- bile driven by Elbert L. Moore, 34 years old, of 5501 Seventh street, struck her early last night.

DENEEN AND MOORE SPEAK FOR' POLIGE District Heads Hear Two Defend Higher Pension Proposals. The District Commissioners held a special board meeting today to listen to arguments l;r Senator Deneen, Re- publican, of Illinois, and Representative J. Walton Moore, Democrat, of Virginia, in favor of an interpretation of the pension laws which would increase the pensions given to policemen and fire- men retired for partial disability. Originally there was no_special ap- propriation for police and fire pensions, which were paid from money recelved as fines in Police Court, and from other sources. The pensions for partial disability ranged from $25 to $50 a month. The act of 1916 made pensions for total disability one-half of the basic pay. At this rate the class III policemen who retire for total disability receive & pension of $87.50 per month. In 1925 another act on the subject was passed to give all pensioners in the departments the benefits of existing pension laws. The then corporation counsel, Francis Stephens, held that this act operated merely to bring the old pensions up to the modern stand- ards, but the Court of Appeals, in deciding a case brought under this law, held that it meant that all those pen- sioned prior to 1925 should get the full amount for total disability, whether the pensioners were partially or totally dis- abled. The Co loners accordingly raised the pensions of all those pen- sioned prior to 1925 to the amount of full disability pensions. Since then, former District Commis- sioner Gwynn Gardiner has taken three cases to District Supreme Court of po- licemen pensioned since 1925 for partial disability, who are not receiving pen- sions calculated for total disability. The District Supreme Court ruled in his favor and the District appealed to the Court of Appeals. These appeals are now xndlnr. and the pus of the confefence this morning, which Gardi- ner also attended, was to seek to per- suade the Commissioners to abandon their appeals and increase the pensions. The Commissioners listened to the arguments and reserved their decision. HEARING ON DISTRICT BILLS SET FOR FRIDAY Measure Authorizing $5,000,000 for Construction of George Wash- ington Memorial Is Listed. A public hearing on two bills of in- terest to Washington will be held Pri- day morning at 10:30 o'clock by the Senate public buildings and grounds committee. One is the Goff bill that would authorize an appropriation of $5,000,000 to aid in construction of the George Washington Memorial Building, at Sixth and B streets. The other bill would authorize acquisition of additional property adjacent to the Bureau of Standards. The committee, of which Senator Keyes of New Hampshire is chairman, approved two bills, one authorizing $6,500,000 for enlarging the natural his- tory building of the National Museum and the other to increase the size of the White House police force.

BALTIMORE, April 30.—~The regular investigation of the waters of Maryland by the United States Bureau of Fish- erles of the Department of Commerce which is made every five years to de- termine the production of fisheries in these ‘waters will be started tomorrow, Swepson Earle, State conservation com- missioner, announced after a conference with M.

APPROVAL OF CAR LAWS SEEN | Unanimous Indorsement of Responsib'ility Principles Is Expected. Unanimous indorsement by the United States Chamber of Commerce of the principles of safety-responsibility laws for automobile owners, as opposed to the compulsory idea embodied in the Massachusetts law, was foreshadowed in discussions today before the insur- ance division of the chamber at a con- ference in the Willard Hotel. The position of the Chamber of Com- merce, as set forth in a resolution that will be presented for formal action to- morrow, was outlined by Owen B. Augspurger of Buffalo, chairman of the A. A. A. compulsory automobile liability insurance committee, and F. Robert- son Jones of New York, secretary of the committee of financial responsi- bility for automobile accidents. “Safety on the streets and highways of the Nation stands as a challenge to the constructive thought of all inter- ested the preservation of life and property,” Mr. Augspurger declared at the outset of his remarks. In explain- ing the difficulties presented by the Massachusetts comp: act, he said: “A body of experience is now bel built up, which, in my judgment, prove conclusively that the safety-re- sponsibility law not only fulfills the major object of promoting safety, but also the secondary and important ob- Jject of assuring compensation for the injured.” States Seem to Be Satisfied. “In the meantime,” he said,” the offi- cials of all the States that have adopted the law, in whole or in part, appear to be satisfled that they launched an im- portant and progressive policy.’ Support for the safety-responsibility resolution will come from other formid- able quarters of the chamber, particu- larly from W, A. Cloud, president of the National Association of Taxicab Owners, and P. W. A. Fitzsimmons of Detrolt, chairman of the chamber’s in- Isurnnce committee, which is sponsor- ng it. They championed the proposed reso- lution favoring the basic principles of such laws in discussions at yesterday's general session and both upheld the po- sition of the Chamber of Commerce in reiterating its opposition to compul- sory automobile insurance. In his defense of the safety-respon- sibility law, Mr. Augspurger declared that 12 States have enacted such laws or amended existing statutes since the A. A. A, first advocated the principle 18 months .A.‘xn The Province of On- |Ij tario, he said, has accepted all its principles, after one of the most com- prehensive studles of the subject ever undertaken. Indorsement Cheers Sponsors. “When it is considered that the prob- lem has challenged the best minds in legislative agencies since the advent of the automobile,” he added, “the indorse- ment of the law ealready evidenced has been most cheering to advocates of safety-responsibility and has vindicated our belief that the problem was ap- proached from the right angle.” Mr. Augspurger declared between the Massachusetts law and the safety-re- sponsibility law there is a fundamental difference, and the latter has the merit of affecting motorists who have demon- strated they are negligent or careless drivers. “Thus it is not a penalty on the responsible citizen for tgee acts of the irresponsible, as is the case of the Massachusetts law,” he pointed out. “Argument in favor of the idea of comp insurance for all motarists centers in that it takes care of the consequences of the first accident,” he said. ‘The safety-responsibility law does the same thing in a more effective manner, vhlnnol’thelnwuequ"llyunmmm 50 effective than the requirements of compulsory insurance.

Three years later a friend, noticing his run down condition, suggested that he try Nujol. That re- minded him of what his army physician had told him, so he finally decided to give Nujol a trial. “‘Since that day” he says, “I've been a different person.” “Nujol,” he continues, “has been responsible for what success I have made of myself in the business world, it has contributed to my health, my happiness, to my very joy of living. Without Nujol I should have gone on grumbling and com- plaining, muttering at fancied injus- ‘tices, overlooking entirely that this world is just what we make it. Now I know what it means to get upin the morning smiling and rested — ready to do my daily work with zest; what it means to eat with no thought of the consequences; to live within the bounds of good health.” Our bodies, like any other intricate machine, need lubrication.
