FLEET IN MANEUVERS IS NOT MENACE The United States Fleet, in conducting maneuvers in various parts of the Pacific, is not menacing any country either in the Old World or in the New World. This should be borne in mind in this country. It should be borne in mind in Japan and in all other countries. The United States, it cannot too often be said and stressed, is not aggressive. This country, in five hundred years, would not attack Japan or any country peacefully disposed. The United States is not maintaining a fleet with purpose to provoke war with any country on earth. The purpose of maintaining armament, by sea or land, is solely defensive. And defensive intentions are not menacing to any friendly power on earth, nor should they be offensive to any power on earth. It is the purpose to hold fleet maneuvers off the shores of Chile and Peru in 1926. No protest is heard from these Republics. They know very well that the United States has no hostile intentions against them. A fleet is not worth much unless it be kept in battle practice, so as to be called upon for active service. And this should be kept in mind everywhere about the American fleet—it is not being maintained to provoke war, but to prevent war—to protect this country should it be forced into war. defensive.

Marriage is not a failure. But many people who get married are failures. STOP NAVAL AGITATION AS MISCHIEVOUS The common sense and balanced judgment of President Coolidge are of great service to the country now in calming the jingoistic agitation for increase in the armed strength of the Nation. Mr. Coolidge is deprecating the propagandist agitation along this line as being wholly unnecessary and as pernicious in its influence and effect. The move to bring about a Congressional inquiry into the state of the navy is opposed by the President on the ground that such inquiry is not needed. Start inquiries and there would be much reckless talking of a nature which might be extremely mischievous. In dealing with reconditioning of the navy and its augmentation in reasonable measure, action should come quietly, without trumpeting to the world exaggerated statements as to the weakness of American defenses and as to the offensive strength and alleged war-like intentions of other countries. The President and the naval authorities at Washington have full and complete information as to the status of the navy and as to its needs. Blatant "inquiries" and foolish agitation would be harmful. The President is right in frowning upon these follies. Let this part of the Nation's business be conducted quietly and normally. The American jingoist should be in better business than to be fomenting hatred and suspicion between this country and Japan. Kidnapping of women or children is a horrible crime—an offense against God and man which should be punished with great severity. C.M.

ABE HANLEY WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS FREDERICK HUNTINGTON GILLETT When President Coolidge was only a member of the Massachusetts Legislature, Frederick Huntington Gillet of Springfield, who will enter the U.S. senate March 4, was in Congress, and a republican power in his state. He was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1892, and he was re-elected every two years until this fall, when he was the successful candidate for the upper house. He was eminent in that body as its best bridge player, until six years ago he added to that distinction the speakership. Seventy-three years old, he is a thin little man whose voice has the same quality that President Coolidge has. Like the President he was graduated from Amherst College, and is the only alumnus ever to address that booy in a dinner coat and tan shoes. Following graduation from Amherst College with the degrees of A. P. and M. A., Gillett attended the Harvard Law School and was admitted to the Springfield, Mara, bar in 1877. From 1879 to 1882 he was assistant attorney general of Massachusetts. Shortly after his election to the House in 1892 Gillett was offered his life's ambition, a judgeship. The battle to decide for or against was the greatest fight of his career. He decided against it and remained in the House, wining his re-election 15 consecutive times. And they used to scrape mould From dead men's skulls; And they ground it all up With peanut hulls; And it cured all the lilies of Man and his beast— (But that was before They learned to eat yeast). Another excellent labor-saving device for polishing floors is an ant that can crawl. Most people who have their feelings hurt go about with them sticking out in quest of an affront.

Midwinter Term Opens December 29 Enrollments Active HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" SUGGESTIONS FOR A DAILY REGIME Upon rising in the morning it is always a good plan to take some form of physical exercise, either walking, or the calisthenic movements explained in the chapter on Exercise and Digestion. If you go for a walk the best plan is to dress in some heavy clothing and walk rapidly, so as to produce profuse perspiration, then take the calisthenic exercises upon completing the walk. Walking is one of the most valuable exercises, but will never supply the proper benefit to the system unless the other exercises are taken as well, especially those lying on the back and face downward, where the abdominal and back muscles are brought into play. Do not miss a morning without taking some of these exercises for at least ten minutes. Follow the walk and exercises by a cold shower bath. After this is the proper time for a man to shave himself and dress for the day, and for a woman to dress herself and get ready to prepare breakfast. The breakfast may consist of any of those combinations suggested in the chapter on meals, or any other combination of food on the lines laid down which it may be more convenient to use at the time. It is of course permissible to use the combinations suggested for lunch or the evening meal at breakfast time; simply changing the places of the different meals. After breakfast a regular habit should be formed of going to the toilet and sitting there until the proper bowel evacuation takes place. It is not a good plan to read the paper at this time, but to concentrate on the necessary function.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying * PROHIBITION'S RECORD—Glendale News Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League of America, in a speech recently named some of the achievements of prohibition. They include a reduction in the mortality rate, a lowering of industrial accidents, the elimination of alcohol per cent of drink caused poverty, a halting of the growth of the national population and the emplying of many its jobs, the stimulation of all legitimate business, the booming of home building, giving men and women an opportunity to enjoy normal amusements and sports, doubling the number of the nation's investors, while breaking all sayings bank and insurance records. A great deal of emphasis is placed upon th' illegal traffic in liquor by opponents of prohibition in an effort to prove that the 18th amendment is impractical and unenforceable. The wonder of it is that prohibition could have made such strides in so short a time, for such radical reforms as doing away with the traffic in liquor are not accomplished over night. NEW MAXWELL MOTTS DRIVER RIGHT The new Chrysler-engineered Maxwell is arousing more and more enthusiasm wherever it is be driven, says Z. B. Follette of Frank P. Taggart Co. A recent letter regarding this car from a prominent official says: "want to tell you honestly and acerely that I am amazed at the performance, riding, workmanship and detail incorporated in this product." The beauty of the new car is attracting notice as much as any other of its qualities. The new Maxwell looks just like a Chrysler. IN OTHER WORDS "In this world if you do not say a thing in an irritating way you may just as well not say it at all, because people will not trouble about anything that does not trouble them." George Bernard Shaw once wrote. Shaw has been writing and saying things in an irritating way all his creative life. His golden rule is that there are no golden rules. He avers that the common man does not want to live the life of a man of genius; he would much rather live the life of a pot colli, if that were the only alternative. In his works you will find these epigrammatic violet-rays: Any person under the age of thirty, who having any knowledge of the existing social order, is not a revolutionist, is an inferior. People who believe that truth, purity, unselfishness bring happiness do so for the same reason that a poor man worships riches, because they have no experience of them. The difference between wisdom and folly has nothing to do with the difference between physical age and physical youth. Beauty is all very well at first sight; but whoever looks at it when it has been in the house three days? Men are always thinking that they are going to do something grandly wicked to their enemies; but when it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good men. The children are all right when they call us grown-ups; that is the only difference between us.
