AS the Editor Sees 1t


Has the United States government
been duped and trickcd into commit,
ting an net of folly?
Our government was prompt in
disbanding of its great army and tho
scrapping of it's navy. This was IN
accordance with the provisions of
the Washington conference agree
ment.
The army has vanished, and but
shell remains.
The navy is sadly depleted and
mos, of its teeth have been drawn.
Munitions have disappeared, and
the spirit of patriotism has waned.
Our means of adequate defense
against sudden attack no lon3r ex-
lists.
Now comes the startling informa-
ton that Washington has abruptly
called halt in the wrecking of our
fighting ships. We IRE also told that
other nations have ignored their
agreements and have done no real
scrapping of ships at all.
At the time Of the Washington
conference many writers and others
warned the government against plac-
ing implicit faith in the pacific in
lemons of governments across the
water.
Present facts would indicate that
their warning was well timed, but
quite in vain.
1t is to be hoped that peace of the
lasting kind will eventually be re-
stored in the far east. But should
we be disappointed in this, in the
event of resort to arms the gov
crnmen; should clearly understand
that it is no affair of ours and that
we want no hand in it.
II is mandatory that American cit
liens in the troubled area be protec-
ted, and removed il advisable. and
the entire navy should he employ
ed for this purpose il necessary. But
right there our activity should cease.
Are you always right in your judg-
ment?
Many people think they are-no
person ever is.
Nineteen hundred years ago we
had one perfect man, whose judg-
ment was never at fault Becaus.

Chief Of Police Coon instructed
members Of his department to arrest

In the future such cases, which the
CHIEF termed public displays Of i'm

Chief Coon said automobile pet

OF modern day short dresses. ''Short

the chief.
These automobile episodes are a
result OF young men taking for

Duncan Tells How to Learn Code
By r. L. DUNCAN,


Director Radio Institute of America.
Radio fans who want to get more out
Of the air than the broadcast programs
must memorize the International Morse
Code.
This may be Zone by INSTALLATION. But
it is much easier to learn it by ound.
A tapping Of a pencil will do. The best
way, however, is to rig up a little buzzef
and hear the real thing.
Get a high pitched buzzer, an ordinary
telegraph key and a common dry battery.
They can be purchased in any supply
store at a small cost.
Mount the key on a table or desk, al
lowing plenty Of room for the forearm.
Connect the battery and buzzer accord
ing to the diagram.
When your hand is set have your wrist
clear and you thumb resting lightly
against the knob of the key. The index
and third fingers should be on top and
the other two fingers should be curved
back into the hand.
WRIST DOES
WORK.
The wrist should do the s~ending-the
thumb and fingers acting merely as a
guide for the wrist.
The spring in the key should be
screwed down just enough to force the
key up after each wrist action.
