FEAR ARMAMENT RACE OF EUROPEAN NATIONS
England Feels United States Must
 Come To Aid

LONDON, March 17.-Over the Ruhr now, there hangs the pail of a possible renewed competition in land and aerial armaments among European nations-unless peace is effected.
 In official quarters here-and the belief is supported by leading Amer jeans who have personally studied the situation--some solution, during the next few weeks. must come out of the various "feelers" now being rut forth to that end. Generally speaking. it is felt that the United States must come to the side of Great Britain if this is to be accom- plishcd, because France already has indicated that the guarantees of British aid in assuring the security of France after evacuation of the Rhine would be insufficient.
 It is not generally realized fact tEat France today is the dominant military power in Europe. Despite Britain's superior fleet. the 1900 fighting aircraft of France outnum- Der those of Britain nearly four to one. Her army, numbering SOO,000 men, is nearly five times the size of EEeland's. Hence Frances apparen. lack of confidence in security pact with England alone.

PLAN GLIDER CONTEST
Special Machine Being Built For Meet
 At St, Louis

CHICAGO, March 17.--A competi- tion for gliders is being arranged to be held in St. Louis next October a, the time of the Pulitzer trophy race, according to l. J. O'Malley. secretary of the Aviation club of Chicago,
 A number of machines are under construction in Chicago. Mr OMalley states, and the entry list of men op- erating motorless gliding machines will be large. "A machine built from plans of the "Vampy" glider. which made the worlds record at the Ger man meet last August, is now in the United States and will compete" said MT O'Malley.
 Though a good airplane pilot will readily learn to fly glider, no one without previous training in pow cred flight can expect to successful ly manipulate glider. This work re- quires sense of "feer' and the pre- knowledge of detecting the soaring wave" in the air current. In short, motorless flight instruction has com menced. which bespeaks new era in aeronautics. This, coupled with the proven fact that gliders, with their large wing era, are immeasur- ably less liable to accident than heavy power machines speaks vol umes for safety in flight"

 ASBURY PARK, x. J., March It. "Complacency is the thirty-third de- gree in the art of passing the buck. said Bishop Theodore $. Henderson of East Orange, before the annual conference of the Methodist Episco- pal Church of New Jersey today in discussing the trend of the time.
 The great trouble with Christian ity, he added, is that too many Chris tians arc content Ito stand on the sidelines and observe from the bleachers instead of getting down into the mud and mire of the strug- gle"
 Prohibition enforcement occupied the attention of delegates, r. A Hazeltine division chief of general prohibition agents for eastern Penn sylvania and southern New Jersey was the principal speaker.

 Congressman Clyde of Kelley. in spirited address on prohibition said: There is more Chance for Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania to ride into the White House on q plat form of dry law enforcement than there was of former Governor Ed ward I. Edwards riding into the presidency on a beer barrel"

MISSOURI HOGS MAY
 TRACE ANCESTRY BACK
 TO DAYS OF COLUMBUS

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. March IT.. (By Associated ress)-PerSonS who trace their ancestry back to the Revolutionary war or even to the Mayflower are far outdistanced in native American lineage by the scrub" hog of southeastern Mis. souri. Ancestors of this animal came to America with Columbus on his second voyage in 11493, accord ing to John Ashton in monograph entitled "A History of Hogs ana Pork Production in Missouri" which is soon to be published as buile- tin by the department of agrieul-
 ture of Missouri under the supervi- sion of Secretary Jewell Waves.
 At the request of Mir. Mays, MT Ashton. who has studied live stock production both in Europe and America went to the old Spanish manuscripts for data which are said l to prove conclusively that the first hogs to be brought to Missouri came with the expedition of Hernando de Soto in April 154l. This was more than half a century before the first l swine were imported by clonists or l the eastern coast.
 l Hogs which were the ancestors Of the Missouri scrub" breed were | brought to Haiti by Columbus ant
 
 1 where they were bred extensively, l according to the records. 1t was in 1 Cuba that De Soto fitted out his expedition which visited southern 1 Missouri. One of the members of the expedition, Rodrigo Ranjel, is quoted as writing, they took with them a large drove of pigs when the | expedition started north on July 15, 1539" The same records also show 1 that De Soto depended upon these hogs for food and to trade with the 1 Indians for supplies. MT. Ashton 1 cites the fact that at the death of | De Soto his supplies and equipment, l which were sold, included 700 head of swine. Another proof that hogs were 1 known in Missouri long before the pioneer settlers brought them from Virginia, Kentucky and the Caro- linas is shown by the author from records of the Jesuit Fathers who established missions in Texas. They l brought hogs from Mexico. which l had been stocked from those 1 brought by Columbus to Haiti.

LITTLE FAITH IN TEST
Johns Hopkins Scientists Say Child
 Parentage Can't Be Proved

BALI1MOfsE,s, Nds, Marcn tli.- Johns Hopkins scientists put little faith in the theory that the parentage of child can be proved or diSpfoved by comparing the blood of the father and mother with that of the child.
 John A. Garrett of Rockville, Md, attorney for Miss Jeanett Francis Decker, who is suing Charles F. Mil Ter of Bethesda, Md, alleged father Of her child. for s150.O00, proposed that the three principals in the case go to Johns Hopkins hospital and have blood tests made.
 MT. Garretts- plan was to have three scientists. one to be selected by Miller, one by Miss Decker, and the third to be selected by some disinter- ested party, determine the child $ percentage by study of these tests.
 pr. John G. Huck, one of the scien- lists at Hopkins, who recently dis covered the existence of more than four blood groups, said today that he did not believe percentage could be determined by blood tests. He eX- plained he was willing to make the proposed test. but said that he WGu.d not give any opinion on the similarity of the blood.
