DO a great newspaper there APP
peared the other day an editorial
telling about the pests many persons
become who have lost weight under
some system Of dieting Describing
this particular nuisance. the writer
said.
The diet dend weighs himself
every day and advises all within his
hearing 20 do the same. He has de
lusions about how thin he Is becom-
ing. and how terribly tat his friends
are. His face may be lined by pri-
walton and his jowls sagged by sud
den reduction but ne insists that
he is an important person
There is "A lot of truth in this OBJ
ServatiOn But the editor must re-
1nember that convert is usually
an enthusiast. When he has found
"a new path and apparently a better
road. he shouts his discovery. He
wants all the world 90 know about
il.
He IS anxious TO testify" and to
make known the wonder OF his re-
generation. Even though he be a
pest. he must be borne with because
NE is human.
Starvation. violent methods and
drugging will take off the fat so
rapidly that the skin stands in folds
and the jowls sag. as has been sug-
gested. Needless 10 say. there are
better ways 10 resume norma. pre-
portions. More gradual methods
are 70 be preferred
Unfortunately. lots of folks per
nit themselves 10 accumulate flesh.
They gradually add 10 their ample
proportions They find that they are
laughed az by their friends and
suddenly they decide 20 get rid of
the offending fat.
They are like the old lady who
telephoned the doctor in the middle
OF the night because she couldn't
stand her pain another minute
When he inquired how ong she had
it, she replied:
Thirty years"

As We grow older how many OF US

many things requiring muscular ex-

R. R. STRIKE HINGES
. UPON UNION VOTE
NOW UNDER WAY
Result of Great Referendum to
Be Known Sept. 1-Brother-
hoods Issue Caution.
BY International New. Service.


CHICAGO, July "a great referen-
dunn among 100 900 railroad workers
is under way today on the. question
Of accepting the IL per cent reduc-
lions ordered July I. by the railroad
labor board. Eight of the sixteen
big rail unions have already voted
to reject the reductions. but they
have been warned by union leaders
to take no action pending vote
among the remaining affiliations.
The referendum was "a compro-
mise" adopted at meeting of all
railway union leaders here for the
past week. 1t represents the atti-
tude adopted by the big Four"
brotherhoods who counseled a vote
Of all rail union men before any def
mite action was taken. The shop
crafts workers. controlling eight
separate organizations, already have
respected the award. Their conten-
ton, amounting to a strike threat,
was overruled by the other orgahiza-
lions.
A resolution adopted unanimously
by the eight shop craft unions, was
sent broadcast to all railroad shop
workers soday warning aginst any
local. actions. While the shop
workers are bitterly opposed to ac-
cepting the wage reductions, their
leaders agreed with the brotherhood
presidents that the rail workers must
present a united front In their de-
cision on acceptance of thu award.
The situation today amounted to a
vote among the brotherhoods and
four other affiliated unions on con-
frmstion OF the shop crafts rejection
of the award. Should a majority of
these eight unions vote a rejection,
a nation wide rail strike looms for
September /. The vote, II was an
nounced must be completed by that

ARMS TRUCE NEAR
AS JAPANESE PACT
LOSES PRESTIGE
Opposition to Renewal of Treaty
Moves Lloyd George to
Adopt New Tack.
by HARRY l.. ROGERS.
International News Service

Friends OF disarmament took new
courage today from the develop
ments OF the last twenty four hours
in the night for renewal of the
Anglo-Japanese Alliance. and coin
cident reports that Great Britain
would welcome a conference be-
tween representatives of the United
States. Japan and Great Britain on
the subject of disarmament.
These reports were interpreted by
proponents of reduced navies as in
dicating that Lloyd George has con-
cluded the time is inopportune for
pressing the proposed renewal of
the pact in face OF opposition from
Canada, Australia. and the United
States. and that he now hopes to
find a way out OF his dilemma in
conference OF the three great
powers. called ostensibly for dis
armament. but actually designed to
cover the whole problem Of the
Pacific.
PAST BARS DISARMAMENT.
Any serious thought of disarma-
ment while the Anglo Japanese ALL
ance exists is out of the question
SO far as America Is concerned, In
the opinion of those in close touch
with the administration. With two
OF the three great naval powers
Joined In an offensive and defen-
sive pact, 1t is argued, the United
States which already is greatly in
ferior to the combined strength OF
Great Britain and Japan, could
scarcely be expected to reduce her
strength still further.
Even with notifications. an ALI
ance, is apt to be regarded with sus-
picion by the average American. II
is argued. A political alliance, 1t is
pointed out, is like a marriage con-
tract, in which the contracting par
ties assume many obligations not
specifically named in the articles OF
agreement.
Officials here believe Lloyd
George is now fully convinced OF
the unpopuIarity Of the Anglo
Japanese alliance in the United
States, and that japan is also OF
that opinion Is indicated by the re-
cent statement of Ambassador
Shidehara. Canada and Australia
have served notice OF their unwill-
10 suppOIl al
acceptable to the United states.
Hence, the apparent decision of the
British prepier to attempt some
sort of trlpartite agreement In the
Pacific with both Japan and the
United States participating.
OPEN DOOR U. S. CONCEPT.
That Secretary of State Hughes
regards the open door" idea as still
alive and operative, is indicated by
his notes to the Dutch government
his invocation of that principle In
his notes TO the Dutch government
on the Djambi oil controversy. and
recently in his note to the Chinese
government. made public last night.
on the rights of the Federal Tele-
graph Company In China.
with the policy of equal oppor-
tunity for all reiterated and re-
a affirmed by the leading powers OF the
world, the %ay would then be
cleared for a discussion of arma-
ment reduction which in the opin-
ion of officials here, would have
some chance of a successful con-
olusion.
