Outside the snow was flying in

storm, but it had the threat of both.
The sun was not up, and the gray light
of dawn penetrated the snow waste
not more than a dozen yards.

make sure that it was blowing steadily
in one direction; having satisfied my

overcast to give me any benefit from

As we walked home in silence, trail

Human Nose Imperfect

The human nose is not perfectly
trained and its powers are not devel-
oped to the point of providing accurate
information when one depends on the
power OF smelling for guidance. In
fact. scientists say smelling is far the
most imperfectly developed of the
senses. 1t is vastly inferior to the
power of sight, as by sight the aver
age individual is able to identify many
thousands of different ARTICLES and OBJ
jects. While Ii one tries the sense of
smell on a dozen odors and perfumes,
there will be poor record made, and
many perfumes taken from known
flowers win be perfect strangers to the
human nose.-Ohio State Journal

Roman Editors Find
 # Way to Razz Cens0rs

Rome, June 3. Rp-Italian news papers devoted to espcnsing the cause of political parties opposed to l'ascism, have initiated novel method of serving their readers with news and opinions criticizing the government.
 Each time an edition of an op- position newspaper is suppressed by the censors, a subsequent edition rrints a modest item setting forth the title of the article which caused the suppression. But each title Is significant enough to explain the context of the offending article.
 For example. the Monde says, "our second edition was suppressed because of an article entitled Re sponsihility'. commenting on a simi- lar article In the Popolo d1talia. Our third edition was suppressed because of a comment on the reply cf Minister Rocco on the interroga- ton of the Facist Deputy De Marsi- @ about the transfer of certain Hfilanese ma gistrates."

Note Gives Principles

Geneva, June 9. Pl-The allied security note to be sent to Germany as result of the agreement between France and Great Britain will lay down certain principles as the basis for negotiation of the pact, but will not propose a specific text.
 These principles include the crea- ton of a Rhine pact of neutral guar Iantees, which will be supplemented by arbitration treaties between France and Germany, and Belgium and Germany; between Germany and Poland, and Germany and Czecho- slovakia. The country resorting to force and refusing arbitration would be considered an aggressor.
 If Germany attacked Poland in defiance of the arbitration arrange ments, for instance, then France would have the right to go to Po- land assistance.
 Difficulties Seen
 This Is not considered a likely con tingency ss Germany has gone on record pledged not to use force, but to accept arbitration of her interna- tional disputes. Nevertheless. France insists upon the right to cross Ger many to protect Poland, s an added guarantee for Germany's eastern neighbors.
 As Germany already has informed the league of nations that one reason why she cannot sign the covenant is her objection to having foreign troops across her territory, it Is be- lieved this point is likely to arouse difficulties in the negotiation of the security pact.

British Press Comment

London, June g, Fl-Ths Franco British agreement regarding the re- ply to be made to Germany's pact proposal, as reported in dispatches from Geneva and Paris, is given first place by the London morning newspapers
 Thus far there is no editorial comment. but there are indications of great surprise in some quarters as we'll as dissatisfaction with the terms as reported. The Daily Tele- graph in a diplomatic. note says:
 "The statement is characterized by two remarkable omissions. First
New Britain herald., 1925-06-09

there is no suggestion that the pact is bilateral and that Britain would undertake 10 give Germany's vest ern boundary a guarantee core. spending to that she is prepared to give France and Belgium. although lnutuality was the basis of the orig inal German proposals and Is that of the British policy as defined by Premier Baldwin and Foreign Secre- tary Chamberlain.
 Secondly. there Is no reference to 1taly's inclusion in the pact. al- though Germany invited her to join and Premier Mussolini strongly ex- pressed 8 desire 10 do so."
 In an introductory note. the Ex- press says:
 "This is a sensational and historic change in British policy. A century of isolation is ended Great Britain now declares herself a continental power. pledged to war if the Rhine frontier is violated. xxx surpris- ing feature of the arrangement is that Germany must accept the plan before she is admitted to the League of Nations"
 The Daily Herald, laborite. in its news columns calls the arrangement "a blood pact with France" and remarks that 1t is surprising that ''it has not been approved by the domin- ions nor even made known to the British parliament and British peo- pie"
 MT Chamberlain, it adds. "has undertaken responsibility which we may be called upon to fulftll with our blood"
 The Daily Chronicle, in an editor ial apparently written before the Geneva report was received, but with some inkling of 1t. warns the public to see that the foreign secretary does not commit the country more extensively than prudence would warrant or public opinion sanction"

rngiish Doctor Says Cigarettes De- . stroy Beauty, ss Women Do Not
 Know Meaning of Moderation.

London, June g. OT - Tobacco used by women has a tendency to destroy their daintiness, according to .Dr. Cecil Webb-J ohnson, one Of Eng lands best known specialists on diet and obesity, in his new book "Wom- len and Beauty" Health and beauty ] 20 hand in hand, declares the au- thor, and a grave warning is given to women smokers and drinkers, his .theory being that it Is difficult for tle women of today, and the men ss well. to smoke or drink within what ordinarily is termed modera- ton.
 y "A man often will have his allot- ed daily ration of so many pipes, cl- gars or cigarettes, but a woman IS more unstable and less capable or self-control than a man." the author contends. As a rule, he believes woman smoker does not appear to know what moderation means, any more than woman drinker,
 Concerning the effect of excessive cigarette, smeking upon woman's fbeauty the doctor says; "Observe 8 sgirl who smokes excessively, and YOU will notice that she also looks nndernourished. with staring eyes and yellowish skin. To make matters worse the smoke dried throat e1- periences a false. thirst, and thus more liquid than is necessary is con stunned and an alcoholic habit set up, The cocktail and the cigarette always go together"
 Alcohol generally pr. Webo-John- son maintains. spells beauty in ~om- an because 1t makes superfuous fat.
