Disarmament Proposal.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
The advocates of naval disarma-
ment ignore. and propose no remedy
that will remove the cause Of the
present unnecessary and excessive
naval armament. the policy OF the
British government to maintain
greater navy than any maintained
by an other government.
To a Just and impartial naval dis
armament that would include. and
be preceded by the equalizing OF the
American and British navies. there
could be no just opposition. Both of
these objects can be obtained by the
following plan:
The American and British govern
ments to stop building.
The American government instead
of building ships until its navy
equals that Of Great Britain, TO pur-
chase from the British government
ships in which it's greatest naval
strength consists, presumably cap
ital ships or ships of the greatest
naval tonnage. The purchase price
of the ships to be credited to the
payment of the debt Great Britain
owes. the United States.
Such ships when purchased should
not be put in service, but should, be
retired and held in reserve in
charge of caretakers. For each ship
so retired the British government
to discharge the officers and crew of
a similar ship, retire 1t, and hold
it in reserve in charge of caretakers.
Bv this method the American gov
ernment obtains Immediately and
without any increase in taxation,
and at no additional navL expense,
what would require additional tax
alton to build twice the number Of
ships purchased and to man and
maintain them Tor years. until the
two navies were equal or the Brit
ish government destroyed the ex-
cess British ships.
The American government could
soon save the cost Of the few ships
purchased by the great reduction
in its navy which could follow the
reduction in British and other Eu-
ropean navic3. Unnecessary and ex-
cessfve increases in navies is no
more Illogical than is an unneces-
sary and excessive navy. -
With the equalizing Of the Ameri-
can and British navies. both navies
could be reduced to the strength OF
the next strongest naval power. as
they would both have the same
number of ships in service. and in
addition the same number OF ships
in reserve.
As the relative strength of the
Z ropcan Continental ,navies is the

same whether all of the ships are
in service or all are in reserve. they
could by agreement retire all. or
nearly all of their ships. a power
full reason for such action would be
that a naval supremacy alone would
not assure victory, but a land su-
premacy could. The best protection
would be TO save the money spent in
naval armament, and eNpend it in
military defense.
With the reduction Of the con-
tinental European navies TO the
vanishing point, the American and
British navies would make equal
reductions.
The ships so retired would soon
become obsolete. Before that con-
dition is reached the governments
Of the world, by international agree
ment could guarantee the freedom,
safety. and neutrality of the seas.

SUGGEST STATIONS To
TEST AUTO HEADIJGHTs

There will be a time in the near
future when each city Of any size

tlon Of Illuminating and eIectric.,l
engineers Of the National Bureau o.
Standards of the Department OF
Commerce. who are taking an active
part in the work Of regulating
headlights. and making them safe
for pedestrian and driver.
The policeman would say. Come
with me 10 the headlight testing
station" before he would issue th,.
sterner command that would result
in blotter entry and the unpleas-
ant consequences.
Much attention has been maid f7
the past to the properties of tho
lenses. and these are fairly well
regulated. but there is lack Of
knowledge and control Of the proner
adjustment of the lenses, which the
Bureau Of Standards engineers he
lieye is just as important. Tho sur-
gested headlight testing stations
would be educational and preveu-
tive as well as disciplinary.
In some cases fully approved and
certified lenses have even been
placed in the lamps upside down
and have thus thrown the glaring
light in the faces Of approaching
drivers rather than on the road"
explains one Bureau of Standards
engineer
The function Of a headlight Iense
is TO control the beam so that IL 4,

TESTS TELL HOW FAST
HEAT PENETRATEs IN CANNING

How fast does the bacteria do
stroying heat get into the middle
OF the can of tomatoes or corn that
is being preserved for winter use!
This is not a very important qucs-
ton from the standpoint Of the in
diyidual housewife who usually can
leave her Jars in the hot water for
amply sufficient time. but the COM
mercial canneries must know lust
how long they must process their
cans SO as to obtain the best results
at the highest speed.
Tests made by experts Of the he
partment Of Agriculture show that

that there is free liquid filing the
interspaces between the pieces OF
material. the rate Of change OF
temperature at the center OF the can
Is very rapid. In the case OF ma
teriais OF Neavy or pastry nature
that are packed in such a way that
little or no convection can occur, as
with corn or sweet potatoes. the
rate Of change of temperature IS
very slow. variztions in the com
position Of the material have very
little effect if the consistency OF the
material is such that no convection
can occur.
Salt has very little direct effect
upon the rate Of change of tempers-
ture in the can. Dilute sugar solu-
tions have only a small effect, but
the concentrated solutions retard
the rate of change. Solutions OF
starch also retard it. In S per cent
starch the consistency becomes such
that all convection is stopped and
the rate Of change is very slow
lOther material Of a viscous nature
such as protein or pectin. retard'
the rate Of change OF temperaturs.

THE PACIFIC.

Last night as l lay alisteninE
heard the Pacific's mighty roar.
AS the storm wind swept the rafters
And the sea gulls cried and SCARED.
I thought of the broad Pacific's wa
ters,
OF its men and history.
OF their deeds and their adventures,
OF the races far from me.
/ thought of the exploring Balboa.
As he stood on the Darien.
OF the venturesome William Walker
And his motley crew Of men.
Again saw Captain Sutter.
And Fremont. Lewis and Clark;
The mad gold rush of the fifties.
And the Indian warriors mark.
though Of the good old Padre
Sierra,
OF the missions now ruined and
cold,
or the simple old Spanish customs
Wrecked in the scramble for gold.
I behold the pearly oawaiI
And the beach at waikiki.
And Cook and his dusky Kanakas,
Ano the leperS OF Molokai.
Where Stevenson wrought his
tales,
Amid the huts of the natives
Blest by southern zephyr gales.
Afar to the south lies Sydney
And the rugged Australian shore;
Close by is the home Of the Maroi
And the heath that he knows no
more
I gaze into the home Of tho Moro,
In the .bejeweled Sulu Sea.
And I hear the guns at Manila
Proclaim Dewey's victory.
And the ships of Pcrrys fleet;

And Buddhist priests ! meet.
behold tha, ancient land Of China,
Whose ways do not ken:
see thsEfurmdof Lee Nung Chang
And the face of Sun Vat Sen.
1 see the huts of the Hermit King
dom,
A people free no more;
I hear the wall of a captive nation
And where is the open door?
I hear the spell of the Yukon.
I see the Alaskan totem poles;
hear the prophetic words of Sew
ard
And the tales Of KIondike gold.
Once again trail a Southern shore
And I hear the Aztec's call;
There Is the battle OF Tehuantepec
And i see Maximilian fall.
I see the castaway Selkirk
On the tropical Fernandez isle;
behold the armies Of Bolivar
Marching many a weary mile.

As the night Is nearly done;
And / see clearly the Pacifc's great

SLAM TO HAVE
PAPER MILL.
Slam will soon have an expert
mental paper mill made in America
with equipment recommended by
the Bureau Of Standards Of the De-
partment Of Commerce.
This papermaking plant. which,
although not primarily intended for
commercial purposes. will furnish
the writing and printing paper for
the siamese army. is now carried
across the ocean TO this Asiatic
country.
The mill is complete in every de-
tail and spare parts and supplies
are included in the shipment II 10
patterned after the experimental
paper mill OF the Bureau OF Sand
ards that has been in operation
since 1919. and was made by repre-
sentative manufacturers OF paper
mill machinery in this country. The
mill being sent TO Siam is about 50
per cent larger than the one at the
bureau. and Is capable of producing
1.2oo pounds of paper daily.
Siam is interested In papern1aking
because Of the possibilities of turn
ing some Of her grasses. weeds and
other hbrous plant products into pa
per. The paper mill will be used
In making researches which will aid
In the development OF a siamese
paper industry.
Bureau OF Standards tests have
shown that rice straw, banana tree

TO the bureau from Siam and were
made into paper in the paper mill
there. Siamese experiments will be
made to develop the best methods
