like form, is standing over him at all times. At any
moment it may pounce upon its victim.
You cannot teach him. He must 60 on to his fate.
The next generation may see the light, butyou could
not knock common-sen (another name for depend
able science into the head Of man Of this sort with
am intellectual pick-ax.
The physiological laws that govern life and health
are as simple as our A. B. c. They are as clear as
the MONDAY sun to those who would attempt to
learn them.
Jesus Of Nazareth taught them more than two
thousand years ago. In the PHYSICAL CULTURE
magazine they are brought up to date.
These laws teach you how to turn aside death which
menaces you in the form Of yrads Of avoidable ILL

the subject should familiarze themselves with these
invaluable laws of life. They are lfe-givers, life

They are necessary to health-to happiness-and

LACK OF NAVY

Admiral Discusses Three
Arguments Raised by
Conservatives.

The navy and the nation have
been menaced for three years by
naval conservatism. This unfortu'
nate condition prevented the adop'
lion Of an enlightened and modern
policy in 1920, when certain officers
some of whom are still in promi'
nent positions in the navy dis
couraged, IL they did not actually
prevent, the development Of sub.
marine and air forces without which
no navy can hope for victory In
the next naval war.
There have been three pronounce
ments of late by conservative Off.
GERS that unmask their positions.
One admiral wisely exclaims that
the the airplane is not a weapon"
It is q mere "vehicle!" This ig not

submarine are vehicles" also. Each

Have you made any real sensible effort to delay the

When death comes to you IN old age-when your
body is dried up almost to mere husk-it is snl-

maturey years and years ahead Of time, it Is soul
torturing tragedy.
You are unwilling to go-you fight the menacing
hand as it attempts to clutch you.
And your loved ones feel as though their very souls
are being torn from their bodies.
The loss grips them with Deep narrowing misery.
There will come time-and it is not far of-when
people will be able to the enacing hand OF DEATH
Those who have studied their own bodies with

Expenditures for Planes.
The next statement Ii to which
serious aobject ctiOtl must be taken was
made by an officer at one time
connects I'D with the office Of naval
intelligence, strange aa 1t may
seem. He stated that the sum Of
81 800 900 900 had been expended
upon air forces Of the Army and
Navy, and that we were today de-
ficient in airplanesl Now let US
analyze this remarkable statement.
official data shows that Congress
since 1a16-eight years agO-has
appropriated $406. All. 900 for naval
aviation purposes. OF this amount.
however, $123, 100000 was returned
to the Treasury or transferred to
the Naval Supply Fund-leaving
$3.50, ,000,0 900 as the total amount

salaries Of all civilian personnel
connected with. aviation since its
inception.
It is clear that such moneys
should not be charged against
aviation" any more than we
should charge the cost OF all our
navy yards, training stations, gun
foundries and the whole civilian
forces employed by the Navy
against our battle fleetI
Figures Since 1916.
In 1915 only 4 100000 was aD-
propriated; In 1917 $500, 900 less
than the cost of two destroyers; In
1892. only $18,000,000; and similar
amounts in 1923 and 1924. It Is
safe to say that including all the
actual expenses, the direct expendi-
world war and since 1915 was less
than 5000, 100000.
Now as regards the army, the
about $3.50. 200 900. Subtracting
from this the cost Of army stations,
landing fields, civilian personnel
and other items that have nothing
whatever to do with fighting forces

value Of which should be credited to

Fleet in q Fog.
The third statement made by an
officer Of strongly conservative
views is strangely contradictory.
Very truly and with commendable
intelligence, he says: I'm the future
a fleet without adequate naval
aviation TO support it viii be only
half q fleet, and will be an easy
victim. for an enemy having power
in ships which are properly sup
ported by their own air units" II

stop right here; but he goes on to

It was plain that Americans have not lost their admiration for man who minces no words on a matter which concerns American institutions even if it may not affect governmental, afafirs! That audinece instantly made John w. Davis it's hero. The perennial hunger of humankind for a hero was never more sharply indicated than at that moment.
 At Columbus, before his address, ex- cited speculation as to whether Mir. Davis would again refer to the klan was heard on every side. He made no direct reference to it, and there was noticeable afterward sense of disap-, pointment.

Davis's train had left Columbus that evening an incident oc- cured which again throws light on the man. .a , We sat at dinner on the train and in the casual converse tion at his table Mr.. Davis sat silent and preoccupied. At length Mrs. Davis reproached him. "John," she said, you've have been sitting there thinking about that speech, haven't you, now? I know you've been going over and over ev- cry line of it to yourself. Cant you stop and rest a httle?"
 "Yes," admitted Mir. Davis, rousing himself with a~start from his medita- tions. "I was thinking of that speech I've been thinking of a dozen places where I might have improved it."

Strange Contrasts Occur As Berlin Celebrates
 Constitution Day
fBy Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Sept. 6.--Members Of the old noility and of the monarchist party kept pretty well in the background this year when Germany celebrated constitution day, but, nevertheless, some strange contrasts were witnessed in various parts of the five-year-old re- public. st'
 ~ In Detmolds which is the capital of the principality of Lippe, great re- publican torchlight processi proceed ed to the castle of Prince Leopold. .Who has always been popular with the beo- pie because of his liberal views. While the parade and the accompanying fire works were intended to indicate cer- tain amount of sympathy for the former prince who theoretically. was deprived of his title by the revolution and also of a great deal of his property, the in- cident caused much comment in the monarchistic press, which contended that Leopold should not have tolerated a republican parade upon the grounds of his private proerty.
 In Stromberg, Rhineland, the repub- licans turned the ancient castle of Fuer stenberg into a fete hall for two days and nights, during which the wine grow CTS and their friends from Coblenz. Bin gen, Rudesheim and other towns, in great crowds, came to celebrate the event.
 Al S Soft. Pedal Advised
 Eight months of liste.4ing to the piano airs of q neighbor was all that Herr von Unwerth could stand and he finally gave vent to his feelings by shooting at the pianist with a revolver. The in cident took place in fashionable part of Berlin, where Fraulin Maria Danel practiced for hours upon her piano.
 The bullet missed but the echo of the shots brought all the dwellers of the neighborhood and policeman. Un- werth was carted off to the police sta tion loudly declaring that he had merely exerted his right to put an end to the piano exercises which had driven him almost mad. k5
 T just couldn't help myself and had to do something" he said.
 The police magistrate put Unwerth under a bond to keep-+he peace here after and requested the young pianist to use soft pedal when she practiced.
