BILLION DOLLAR CONGRESSES
FADE INTO LITTLE THINGS !
BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR
Army and Navy Get Largest
Share. Interest on War
Debt Large.

Washington, Dec. l.--Record billion
dollar congresses of ordinary peace
times faded into the past today whep
Secretary Glass presented the auxilal
estimates OF proposed appropriations
of practically five billions for conduct
ing the peace time activities OF the
government during the fiscal yeQy
1921.
The greatest individual estimates.
of course, SO to the army and navy.
The yearly interest on the war debt.
however, is more than a billion and
seventeen million dollars.
All in all, the estimates justify the
predictions made on the floor OF COO
gress that the present generation
would not see the government conduct
ed at an expense Of less than four bill
lions yearly.

AMERICANS TO STAY.

Paris, Dec. French representa-.
~
tives at the peace conference are u1N-
ing the Americans TO delay their de-,
parture for home until the protocol Ia
signed putting into effect the treaty
with Germany, it was learned today.
The feeling in French circles which
is shared by some of the other dele
cations is that the departure of the,
Americans will be misinterpreted in
Germany as a sort of abandonment
of the conference, although 1t would
in no wise change the relations OF the
United States toward that body.

can darw is that Mexico has made a

have been the purpose Of the Mexican

WOMEN ARE DEFORMED
BY MODERN FASHIONS

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. II (by Asso-
ciated Press) Dresses which many
women now are wearing are causing
them to become "knock-kneed, knock
armed and sway-backed," recently de-
clared Mrs. j. Milton Mensendick in
an address before the Twentieth Cen
fury Club.
DR.. William A. Stecher, director OF
physical education in the Philadelphia
public schools, agrees with Mrs. Men,
sendick that dresses which make
women answer to that description are
in style but he asserts that there is
no danger that they will become per-
manently disabled by their efforts to
conform to the new fashions.
There is nothing the matter with
woman's frame of body, but there is
with her frame of mind, he said. In
. other words, she is not knock-kneed,
etc., because she can't help it but
rather because she wants to be in
fashion.
Or Celia Mosher of Leland Stan
ford University says all of woman's
muscles can he developed to be as
strong as those of man." adds DR..
Stetcher. "Women are mems muscu-
lar interiors ten to thirty-three per
cent, statistics say. This is due to no
innate disability, but to woman's dress
and to traditional ideas regarding
modest, feminine exercise.
con the other hand, men are wo-
mems inferior when it comes to feel
ing the cold. Everybody knows how
l0hg woman can remain in bathing,
and how scant her clothing may be in
winter, and yet she does not die OF
exposure"

Succeeds at Difficult Task.

No one could have had a more
thankless, more difficult, but yet more
important task than the one he was
given by the President. Frankly he
expected that he would fail to come
up to the popular expectations, but he
made up his mind that the work had to
be done, and that he would if neces.
sary, become a martyr in doing it.
Probably nobody was more surprised
than he at the degree of success which
was attained. He knew all the time
that his plans were workable, but
there was always the danger that, in
the disorganization of war, the details
would fail into the hands of incompe
tents. He had to deal with such help

Being
MENTI0NEDFO
PRESIDENCY

Herbert Hoover is being looked
over" to see If he is Of presidential
size. He is being claimed by the
Democrats, but it is apparent that he
belongs to that party about as much
as Pershing belongs to the Republican
party. .Nobody knows the political in
clinations of either, but the tendency
is to tag them az noted.
Hoover and Pershing are far and
away the two great successes of the
war, regardless of what Senator Reed
and his supporters think about the
one, and Representative Gallivan and
his kind of the other. If Pershing is
a military success, Hoover is an even
greater executive success. He has
managerial ability of wonderful sort,
and it was put to thorough test dur
ing the war. Unlike Pershing, he
worked under nobody, but made his
own plans, and personally saw to their
being carried out
His success has been acclaimed not
only in America, but throughout Eu-
rope. Even Germany, knowing how
well he looked after the furnishing
people of Belgium, was anxious to
have him take charge of her food prob
lem. There can be no question about
his possessing the kind Of intellect
and business ability which the coun-
try will need in the White House for
a number of years to come.

as-tle could get, and was seldom in DO
sition to select the best.
There has been much glib talk
about this or that thing having won
the war Few, however, have said
that what Hoover did had any i'm
portant bearing in that direction.
Nevertneiess' When the food supplies
sent from America to Europe in 1917
and 1918 are considered, and when
people think of the conditions which
would have prevailed there had thew
failed, 1t is difficult to overestimate
the Importance of the Hoover per-
formance. All that is apart from his
success in checking the pyramiding of
prices at home.

Shows Great Ability.

when ne was put at the head of the
Food Administration, Hoover had been
living outside the United States for
twenty years. He was born in Iowa
In 1874, and after graduating from the
Leland Stanford Engineering School
IN 1895, spent two years in geological
surveys and mining in the Southwest
states, and then went to Australia az
chief OF the mining staff of the large
interests. In 1899 he was chief engi-
neer of the Chinese Imperial Bureau
OF Mines, and the next year took mart
in the defense of Tientsin during the
Boxer uprising.
He remained in China until 1902,
when he went to London as partner In
large mining corporation, which was
his work when the war began. He
acted first as chairman Of the Ameri-
can Relief Commission in 1914-15. as
chairman of the commission for Bel
gian relief in 1915, as food administra-
tor in 1917, and is now the head of the
movement to feed the starving mil
lions of Europe. In addition to these
activities, he had found time for au-
thorship, and has written numerous
technical articles an dbooks.
None of the Presidents war ap-
pointees encountered at home fiercer
storm of criticism and abuse. He
weathered it by sheer ability. The
faultfnders are silent in the fact OF
| worldwide praise which has been so
| lavishly given him.
So much for the latest man to be
mentioned in connection with Ameri
cas- coming presidential free-for-all.
