BIG MORAL LESSON IN SINKING OF SHIP When the United States government ordered the partially completed superdreadnaught Washington to be towed out to sea to be sunk, there was written a great moral lesson for the world. The scrapping of this giant craft came under the agreement at the Arms Conference into which the United agreement at the Arms Conference into which the United States entered into that epochal compact with full expectation and intention of keeping each and every one of the pledges there made. Hence this great battleship—one of the finest of its kind afloat,—was sacrificed, in compliance with this solemn pledge. The United States assumes that all other countries entering the Arms Conference agreement are equally faithful to their obligations. This fidelity to trust—this faithfulness in performance of agreements made in a solemn international compact—does credit to the government, and the people of the United States. It has been said and is being said that one or more of the powers signatory to the Arms Conference agreement is not abiding by the terms of the compact. But the government at Washington has not taken cognizance of these reports. The United States is keening faith. It is limiting its naval Hence this great battleship—one of the finest of its kind afloat,—was sacrificed, in compliance with this solemn pledge.

It has been said and is being said that one or more of the powers signatory to the Arms Conference agreement is not abiding by the terms of the compact. But the government at Washington has not taken cognizance of these reports. The United States is keeping faith. It is limiting its naval force just as it agreed to do. It thereby is giving the world a fine exemplification of an international pledge kept fully, in letter and spirit. The noble example is worth more than many dreadnaughts. They who do not love Nature and who do not revel in her manifold charms, miss much of the joy of existence. The way of uprightness, honesty and clean living is the safe, comfortable and happy way in life. HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" (Continued) GOOD, COOKED NON-STARCHY VEGETABLES SMALL STRING BEANS are the most desirable kind, as the beans in the inside of the pod are not so large. When the beans are large they produce fermentation and flatulence in the same way as navy and kidney beans. In case you cannot secure the small string beans it will be necessary to open the larger ones, either before or after cooking, and remove the beans from the inside. Fresh string beans are more desirable than the canned beans if they can be secured small enough, but usually this is a matter of much difficulty that most of the year you will find it more convenient to purchase the canned variety, being careful to use a brand in which the beans are very small. Of course these canned string beans are already cooked and only need to be warmed up, but the fresh string beans should be cut in small pieces and cooked for at least one hour in order to bring out the best flavor. I must warn you again not to use any grease in the preparation of string beans, as they are rendered indigestible by even a small piece of bacon that most people put in. They should be seasoned with butter and salt as desired by the person eating them. ASPARAGUS should be used when it is fresh in the market to as large an extent as possible, but you will find it one of the most desirable of the canned non-starchy vegetables that can be obtained. The smaller varieties are to be preferred to the large kind, which are more starchy. Cook the fresh asparagus in plain water, and do not season until ready to serve, when butter and salt may be added if desired.

Never try to show off your radio before static. About all that makes a small edible in the fact that he is easy to run down. Doubtless you know which letter on Mussolini's typewriter shows the most wear. Patriotism is much like sin... It is visited on the children to the fourth generation. Another excellent endurance test is afforded by a neighbor who is learning the saxophone. That stain barber may have asked a male patron if he wished to save the hair cut off. It must strain the European school boy to remember why he hates neighboring nations. Passing the buck reached the limit. Somebody has invented a self-playing saxophone. It isn't at all difficult to eulogize work if you can sit on a cuzhon and dictate it. A good road costs thirty thousand a mile, not counting subsequent funeral expenses. What the world needs is an anesthetic that won't wear off entirely until the surgeon is paid.

They flex and bend, give and take, and absorb the bumps. But this flexing is hard on ordinary tires. Goodyear has recently developed a new cord fabric called Supertwist. It stretches about twice as far as ordinary cord. It was especially developed for Balloon Tires and is found only in Goodyear Balloon Tires. Supertwist is your assurance of long wear and freedom from trouble. At our new low prices we can put Goodyear Supertwist Balloon Tires on your car at less than you've been paying for the regular size tires now on your car.

WHO'S WIRE IN THE DAYS NEWS ROBERT W. DE FOREST A distinctive contribution of American art has been made by Hon. Robert W. de Forest of the York, president of the beautiful Metropolitan Museum of Art, Mrs. de Forest. Through the gift to the museum of a new nex which will be exclusively voted to objects of American historical interest, it becomes possible to preserve in appropriate settings many specimens of and crafts which cast an intimate light upon the lives of old Americans, for the benefit of present and future generations. President de Forest's interest in art would no doubt alone have been sufficient to enlist his chivalry for the preservation objects of early American art, an age when old landmarks were fast passing away. But he would seem to be special reason why his sympathies and those of Mrs. de Forest have been ended in this cause. The first onists to bring their wives and children, the first to plough plant, the first to build permanent residences upon the island of Manhattan and the site of York City, were a company Walloons recruited and enriched by Jesse de Forest of Avesne. The Walloons appear to have been always a fighting and loving people, patriotic, sturdy soldiers, and deeply religious. Leader of the colony, Jesse Forest, the first of the de Forests to come to America, souls from the United Netherlands mission for the colony as a revered and religious unit, to make a tlement and provide means transportation to the new New York. Some of Jesse de Forest's patriots had gone with the frinis on the Mayflower, and was natural that after the grims on the Mayflower, and winter he should have gathered together between 50 and 60 miles, who were desirous of ning the venture.

THE BEST OF ADVICE Anatole France, said, as we have quoted before, "It is the imagination, with its lies, that sows all the beauty and virtue in the world. We are great only through our imagination." But imagination is something of which to beware. In matters affecting our weal or woe, we should be careful not to let our imagination run away from us, and remember Shakespeare's lines: The lunatic, the lover, and the poet Are of imagination all compact. Most important of all, we should beware of building castles in the air. In the first place, as Schopenhäure, pessimist, argued, they are too expensive to build, because we have to pull them down again immedi­ately, and that is a source of grief. We should be still more on our guard against distressing our hearts by depleting possible mis­fortunes, he says. "These, however, are not the sort of playthings in which imag­ination delights; it is only in idle hours that we build castles in the air, and they are always of pleasing description. "The matter which goes to form gloomy dreams are mischances which to some extent really threaten us, though it be from some distance; imagination makes them look larger and nearer and more terrible than they are in reality. "This is a kind of dream which cannot be so readily shaken off on awaking as a pleasant one; for a pleasant dream is soon dispelled by reality, leaving, at most, a feeble hope living in the lap of possibility."

If you hain't seen your wife smile at a traffic cop you hain't seen her smile her purtiest. "When we have abandoned ourselves to a fit of the blues, visions are conjured up which do not so easily vanish again; for it is always just possible that the visions may be realized. But we are not always able to estimate the exact degree of possibility: possibility may easily pass into probability; and thus we deliver ourselves up to torture. Therefore we should be care­ful not to be over-anxious on any matter affecting our weal and woe, not to carry our anxiety to unreasonable limits; but coolly and dispassionately deliberate upon the matter, as though it were an abstract question which did not touch us in particular." De Forest was born in York April 25, 1848. He rece­cited his A. B. and M. A. degree Yale and later his L.L.B. de­at Columbia. He also studied Bonn. He was admitted to New York bar in 1871 and since has maintained his law ptice. He has been interested in and water companies, and bui­ng institutions and other en­prises but of late years has voted most of his time to cha­ble offices and art. He is p­ident of the Russell Sage fou­tion, vice-president of the An­can Red Cross, and head of National Housing Ass'n. SUNSHIN PELELTs BY DR. W.F.THOMO Thetle that binds is ap­cause headache.

Gas for Heating DO YOU KNOW that Gas Heating is the most desirable form of heating known. For safety, for economy, for convenience, or for comfort, gas heat has no equal. Gas maintains a more equitable temperature than any other type of fuel. With the Humphrey Radiantfire heater there are no cold, drafty corners, a constant temperature prevailing. Do you realize that Humphrey Radiantfire heat has the same penetrating effect of sunshine? This type of heaters burn gas in a new, scientific way, without a suggestion of odor.

PHONE 164 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying HONESTY IN ADVERTISING—Berkeley Gazette The J. Rufus Wallingfords have long recognized the value of advertising space in the newspapers, and for a time they plied their clever practices to great advantage through this medium. Then many of the newspapers (not all of them) awoke to the fact that they were made a party to swindle and sharp practices by permitting the use of their columns for this sort of advertising. With the awakening, these better newspapers refused to accept advertising of a questionable character and at the same time opened war upon the swindlers. The newspapers carried the burden of the battle against the swindlers for considerable time and were successful in arousing the public and the business interests to the widespread and ever-increasing practices of the advertising swindlers together with the less offensive, but at the same time dangerous, practice of exaggeration by otherwise honest advertisers. As businessmen came to see the dangers of exaggeration in advertising they were thoroughly aroused to the harm that was being wrought by deliberate deception in advertising, there sprang up throughout the country organizations known as Better Business Bureaus and Truth in Advertising organizations. These bodies took up the fight started by the newspapers and together with the newspapers that stand for honesty in advertising, are making conditions decidedly unpleasant for the swindler who plies his trade through the medium of advertising. As a result of the combined activities of the clean newspapers and the Better Business Bureaus, advertising is becoming cleaner and better each year, fraudulent advertising is becoming scarcer and is being fought vigorously wherever it appears. However, in spite of the vigilance of these agencies for clean advertising, there occasionally bobs up in the newspapers some questionable plan of obtaining money from the unwary. These schemes because of the shrewdness of their promoters may for a time escape the keen agents of the Business Bureaus and may deceive publishers of newspapers that have barred this sort of advertising, but they do not last long, and are eventually dropped from the newspapers, and the promoters are forced to discontinue their practices or, if these practices are found to be outside the law, they are prosecuted by the authorities. Usually, however, the promoters are wise enough to keep within the law, which, while it keeps them out of jail, does not prevent them from fleecing those who will not consult an attorney or some reputable business man or banker before investing their money in wildcat ventures.
