PARIS. May 12.-Although French
official circles prefer to ignore the
fact, French naval authorities do
not hide the feeling that the ma
neuvers Of the British Mediterra-
mean fleet off the Balearic Islands
marks the end of the agreement ar
rived at before the war by which
the British home fleet was to guard
the channel while the French war

When Sir Edward Grey announced
in the House of Commons in August,
1914. that the entente cOrdiale" was
really a. defensive alliance he made
known also England and France had
taken measures to endure an equit-
able distribution of their sea forces
in the event of war. Up to that
time England had allotted part OF
her channel fleet to the guard OF
the communication with her Or1en-
tai empire. France undertook that
responsibility. That decision left
England free to meet a possible
German menace in the North Sea
But since the Washington disar-
mament conference placed France
in an inferior position, and espe-
cially since the recent visit Of King
Alfonso TO Italy, when it is under
stood an Italo- Spanish naval agree
ment was drawn up, French navy
men have realized the day OF

gone by. In the Mediterranean ma
neuvers aviation has a large place.
They are wondering if that does
not mean England's response to

. PLEASURE A HEALTH ASSET Mental And Physical Perils Arc Avert
 ed Ry Play

Many persons are i'll, mentally and physically, because they are suspicious of pleasure. The hardy races hold pain in high esteem as a personal discipline, and inducing pain in oneself has even been inculcated as an act of virtue, writes Walter M. Gallighan in the Continental Edition of the London Mail.
 We speak of pain as "holy." But pleasure may be no less holy than pain. Many devout men and women have realized pleasure is essential for moral self-development and conduct. The phys ical reaction Of pleasure makes the body resistant to disease, aids in re- covery from sickness, tends to the lengthening of life, and prevents nor bid manifestations in old age.
 An ascetic fear of pleasure is incom- patible with a sense of bodily efficiency and well-being. Some people appear to believe that Nature has evolved the complicated nervous system simply as an instrument for producing pain or discomfort. A pleasant surprise, such as receiving cheering news, immediately excites the heart to vigorous action. "A merry heart goes all the way" Death may come prematurely because a man has neglected pleasure.
 It is not easy to define pleasure in a general sense. The pleasure that the Spartan winter bathers in the Serpen- tine enjoy suggests pain to less robust persons. Fishing may be mans pas

Spanking Has Its Fine Points Of,
 Technique
By DIR. WILLIAM ACHILLES

Dear Dr. Achilles:
 My oldest boy, six, is now in the first grade in public school. He is what is commonly known as "Peck's Bad Boy" About every week I get letter from his teacher. and at home he is continually stirring up trouble with his mischief. have tried to bring up this child without spanking him, but fear we have failed.
 What is your opinion on spanking and how should I control his pranks !?
 ARTHUR s.
 Doubtless if we were all ideal par ents bringing up ideal children, it would be possible to do away with the time-honored ceremony of the wood shed. However, it is unfortunately true that most of us have not yet reached that stage where it is alto gether wise and safe to dispense with birch rods, police forces and power ful naives.
 Spanking is clearly an appeal to fear. Fear is one of the oldest and most powerful of human instincts, and. as such, it certainly offers a means of controlling behavior. However, the finest and noblest forms of behavior can never be built up on a basis of fear. While you may perhaps spank badness out of a child, you can neverf spank goodness into him. This appeal to fear . is therefore proper only during the first few years of life, before it is possible to appeal successfully to your childs reason.
 In general, I should like to lay down the following rules for an effective spanking:
 CD Control yourself first and be sure that the spanking will really benefit the child by teaching him some thing that you could not teach him as well in some other way. Then
 @ Be sure the child understands why he is being spanked lest he suffer from an outraged sense of justice. This generally means giving the spanking at the time the offense is committed.
 (3) Spanking is a major operation and is not to be indulged in except for major reasons and at infrequent inter- vals. Properly given, the necessity for spankings should grow less and less frequent.
 With your boy already six years old, Mir. S., you will have to be very care ful. You will have to mix much of the appeal to reason with it. It would be well if you could get him to agree with you that he desirves it, before spank ing him for the first time. At best, you will have to regard the procedure as an experiment and make careful note of your boys reaction to see whether you have really accomplished anything by your punishment.
 Far more constructive for this boy, however, would be some form of group activity with other boys of his own age. He is doubtless a chill of large vitality. Perhaps you might arrange to have him join some private gymna- sium class after school hours, or be- come a member of some church troop, and later on become Boy Scout. Such activities will do more than all the spankings that you could give him to transform this mischief into the quali- ties that make for social leadership in adult life.
