OUR EXAMPLE.

When Secretary Weeks calls atten- ton te the fact that the cost of the army of this country has been cut in two, the number reduced to 15o,ooo and steps to bring about large savings put into effect 1t Is to be realized that it is an admirable response to the demands of the country. The caIl for 8 curtail- ment of such expenditures as go with the maintenance of a large army has been needed And the same course is being followed in the navy depart ment. Retrenchment was called for, congress ordered 1t. though in some in- stances reluctantly, and we are sailing under the standard of economy.
 The quick manner in which the changes have been put Into effect means that even greater savings are being eff fected. The army has been cut to the designated number months ahead of the time limit designated and in keeping with other departments the war and navy heads are deyoting their efforts to keeping their expenditures well within the appropriations and not spending all that has been voted simply because 1t is available.
 The good effects of such work are bound to have a bearing upon the com ing disarmament conference. We have not done away with our army and we have not stopped the construction of naval vessels. We have not put into ef- feet a policy of disarmament such as is to be expected as the result of the understanding among nations because we could not afford to disregard our safety. We are still building ships. of war and must continue to do so but we have shown that 1t Is the policy of the country not to maintain our military and naval machines at as great or greater a size in time of peace as dur ing a period of war.
 We have indicated as far as it IS ad- visable by our acts that we are desir- ous of disarmament. That cannot fail to have its influence during the com ing conference. We have seen the de- sirability of placing check upon new armament plans for OUT own good. The economic reason has been fully appre- ciated and 1t Is to be hoped that the representatives of the various nations will be impressed by the desfrabi1ity oi having an understanding which will make 1t possible to bring about suct an economic benefit for the whole world.

HELPING THE POSTAL SERVICE.

THE INITIATIVE HEAD

It is common saying that the Jap anese have less creative ability than those of the Caucasian race, though they are given credit for extremely well de- veloped powers of imitation and adapts- tion.
 However great the measure of truth in this is. have you ever noticed that the majority of Japanese heads are short from the ears back?
 They are. It's what gives them that curiously round look in comparison with the average Caucasian skull. Has it never struck you alsQ that a certain type of German head (the typical Prus- sian) Is built in much the same fashion? And the same sweeping statement is often made about the Germans as about the Japanese. So far as the Teutons are concerned, however accuracy com pels the statement that it is only in certain sections of Germany that the short skull is a predominant type.
 But what are the other indications of the short head? One is a restricted ability to understand the motives and emotions of other people. It results in a certain sense to a lack of sympathy, not exactly the same as that lack of sympathy which is due to overlooking the viewpoint of others, but due to in- ability rather than lack of desire. Short headed people rarely succeed in work wherein they have to meet and handle people. They have for instance, little natural aptitude for salesmanship. As trained nurse a short-headed wo- man should succeed particularly well so far as the actual material and sci entifc phases of her work are concerned but she would not be particularly apt at making the patient comfortable in mind and spirit

INAUGURATION
 When Andrew Jackson was elected to the presidency, and Inauguration day came in the spring of 1929, such a con- course of Americans of every character focked to washington as at no pre- vious or later inauguration. The cere- monies which attended the inauguraH tion were of th& simplest kind. No parade, no music none of the. pomp and show of a military chieftain, it was proudly said marred the day.
 At half past Il o'clock on the morn ing Jackson was to be inaugurated he proceeded to the Capitol on foot, un- covered and preceded by the central committee of the District of Columbia. He was surrounded on the right and left by gigs, wood wagons, vehicles of every sort, crowded with men and wo- wen eager to be near the chief and fol- lowed by the officers of his suite worthies of the Revolution, and hun dreds Of strangers. without distinction of rank.
 Upon reaching the Capitol he made his way to the Senate chamber and was inaugurated at noon on the east portico. The customary address occupied but few minutes in delivery and ranks with the briefest in our history. The speech delivered, cable that had been stretched across the steps was torn away and with wild shout the crowds surged up to grasp the presidents hand. It was with difficulty that Jackson could make his way to a horse, mount 1t and preceded, surrounded and followed by dense mass of human beings, start for the White House.

BRITISH IMPERIAL
POLICIES ADOPTED.
Discussion of Conference in
London Ends Today-Many
Subjects Covered. =.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON. August 5 canadian
Press).-The discussion Of the inn
perial conference will conclude today.
The report which finally will be
adopted covers a considerably wider
range than has been indicated by the
meager official accounts.
1t is believed the conference adopted
a policy of non-interference, content
ing itself with declaring against the
suggestion of a special conference to
discuss the matter of affirming the
right of the dominions to nominate
cabinet ministers to represent their
respective countries in future consul
tations with the British prime min
lister. The view of the conference
seems to have been in favor Of a one
power standard for the empire, the
dominions undertaking the defense Of
their respective territorieA
The discussion Of wireless commu-
nication revealed some divergence Of
opinion. 1t is understood an Austria
lasian delegate contended vigorously
for stations of sufficiently high power
to enable Australia to communicate
direct with England, against the op-
posing view for more stations Of less
power. The latter view is believed to
have gained the day, it being decided
that Great Britain should complete
stations in the territory under her
control. while. as far as might be
necessary, Australia, South Africa
and India also would erect necessary
stations, with New Zealand and Can
ada cooperating in the chain.
