IRECONCIlABLES
HOPE TO THWART
AMERICAS ENTRY
Blocking of Presidents.
Call for Funds to Be-
the Plan Adopted.
By PAUL Il. MALLON

ntcd Press Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Martn ia
plan has been devised by senate
= irrcconcilablcs - which may altar
If not actually prevent American
participation in the world court of
justice.
The move is prompted by action
Cf the council of the League of Ma
tions in authorizing an invitation
to the United States to meet with
thc council next September and eX-
plain reservations which the United
States senate attached to the reso.
luton for American adherence to
the court.
Although the invitation will be
extended to President Coolidge dl-
rect, senate parliamentarianS agree
that he will have to seek authorize
ton of congress for an appropriation
to let commissioners 90 to Geneva.
This would reopen the entire world
court and League of Nations issue,
and irreconcilablcs have agreed they
will stage bigger battle than they
did before.
Parliamentarians believe there is
no way for the president to act cX,
etpt through authorization.
Unless the message for the appro-
priation is sent before June, con
gress would be in recess until De
cemher and no authorization for the
funds could be sought.
The irrecorcilablcs are planning
to beat upon the court and lcagu'
issues and the Italian debt settle
mcnt, which Chairman Smoot of the
senate finance committee now says
he will call up Monday.

WHOOPING COUGH, like mea- sles, but in striking contrast to
 such diseases as diphtheria and ty- phoid fever, has steadily refused to yield to the efforts of health of- ftcers and physicians in their at- tempts to control it.
 i, Here again as in measles, we
 have 8 period in which the disease
 exists in a highly contagious state, the symptoms of the disease being flor time not sufficiently mani- fest to enable one to be certain that the condition is whooping cough
 This period in which the disease is not recognized may last from three to ten days, or even longer. It is often difficult to recognize whoop- ing cough until the characteristic wioop appears, particularly if the disease is mild; though a cough which is paroXysmal, especially if it is accompanied by vomiting. should always excite ones suspicious.
 If is obvious that with this long period in which the disease is un- recognized there will be many ex- posures of other children which would not occur otherwise. and care should be exercised by parents and by school authorities in order to ex- clude from school any child who may be in the initial stage of whoop- ing cough.
 The most dangerous periods of life for whooping cough are infancy and old age. More than fifty per cent of all deaths from whooping cough in the United States occur in chil- dren under one year of age. and more than 95 per cent in children under five years of age.
 Mothers should be extremely care ful to keep the child of pre-schooI age away from whooping cough.
 The accompanying chart illus tratcS the rise and fell in the tidal waves of whooping cough. the figures based on 100000 population.

T shall be looking for you" said
 Jimmy, and ambled away in the di- rection of the bathhouse under
 which he made his home.
 ! After Jimmy had departed Danny
 wished that he hadn't given his
 word that he would go over there
 that night. Then he remembered what Jimmy had said about seeing i things on the beach, and finally he actually got impatient for the com- ling of tho Black Shadows, that he might safely start for Jimmy
 Slunk's home.
 i When Danny finally reached the ! bathhouse he was tired. He tried to be polite, but he couldn't help show ing that he was tired. Jimmy Skunk saw this. You'd better rest while" said he. "The moon docsa't rise until late tonight and what is more, the tide is not cut yet. ] am tired my self, so we will rest a while before we start out. When the tide goes out then we'll go down on the beach and I'll show you things"
 Meanwhile Danny had been polk ing around and he had discovered
 dry, brittle, queer-looking thing. If was shaped like a star. Yes, sir, it was shaped exactly like one of the stars which Danny had often seen twinlling high overhead.
 "If you please" said he. what is this thing?"
 Jimmy Skunk came over 10 it. "Oh. that?" said he. "Oh, that's a dead starfish. I'll show you some live ones by and by"
 "A fish," exclaimed Danny. What are you trying to tell me? Do you think I'm so innocent that 1 do not know a fish when l see one2 The idea of trying 10 tell me that this is fish! l guess you must be joking, Jimmy Skunk. guess you arc just trying to have fun with me-"
 Nothing Of the kind,' replied Jimmy. "I said what I meant and ! meant what I said l don't suppose it really is n fish, but it swims in the water when il is alive and if is called the etarfish. So there you are."
 Danny looked very hard al Jimmy Skunk. q suppose if you say so, il must be so," said he, trying to be polite. Put how a thing like that gan swim ] don't understand ali all.
 "Pooht" said Jimmy, that's { nothing. The Starfish can turn itself ! inside out
 This was q little too much for 1 Danny. He [ d his best to be polite ! nut he just didn't believe a word ot | Ina. I Copyright 1926, by T, w. BurgessI |

beach. Danny had politely cNplain- ed that he had been so very busy and there had been so much to sre that he had kept putting that visit off.
 'Poohi" exclaimed Jimmy Skunk. lyon don't mean to say there is much 10 be seen over here on this marsh. do you? If you want to see things. come over to the beach. Come over where the tide washes up things every day. That is the place to see things. I tell you what. come over to visit me tonight. It is going 10 be q moonlight night and we'll take walk down the beach. As long as you are with me. there'n be nothing for you 10 be afraid of"
 Danny would have liked 10 refuse the invitation, but he didn't sec how h" coHld, So at last he agreed to go tn visit Jimmy Skunk.

Forgive my outburst, Miss Dean" {" he said. Of course you know that am very much worried about the loss of that bottle containing the 1 liquid that poor Miss Cleaver drank here while sfe was temporarily fn- sane. It will be very terrible if someone who does not understand all the circumstances should find that bottle.
 "No one could have dreamed that a woman who was as success ful in her chosen work as Miss Cleaver could possibly take her own life. l will tell you, Miss Dean, that l was so sure in my own mind that this could not be, that I did not, as l usually do, glance about for discriminating evidence of sui eide when I come upon a man or woman in her condition.
 "Of course, the moment I really examined Miss Cleaver I found out what was the matter with her. but l was then too busy trying to save her life to think of anything else"
 Did you really examine her. Doctor Flint? I thought you were too busy telephoning to do that. know you left your patient while you held a long conversation with someone over the wire"
 'I was trying to get an ambu- lance to get the poor woman to the hospital" the doctor explained.
 Someone else could have made that request just as well as you, doctor"
 Doctor Flint tried to ignore my last speech. Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.) i TOMORROW: The Old Hypocrite.

 Not as much as you" she re- turned, referring to the scene with Lucia Meredith at her husbands l office, in which l had been a partici-
 pant. just before the news of her suicide came. Then at something in my face which l was not quick enough to hide. she flushed hotly and avcrted her eyes. I knew that she recognized my comprehension of her secret travail of spirit, and could have wept in chagrin at what Lillian calls my transparent face"

 "Tomorrow's Another Day"
 Deliberately I had spoken of the meal, hoping that her reaction against it, which I foresaw, would divert for a few seconds at least the morbid trend of her thoughts.
 "0h, you don't expect me to eat do you, Madge?" she cried. IT couldn't swallow a draught of water"
 "The only thing you're going to swallow is a sedative," l said firmly. Then you're going to sleep, and to- morrow will be another day."
 But there was a morbid streak in my own mind, for all the way to the apartment, with my hand on Kath- crimes arm, l could not rid myself of the fancy that Lucia Meredith hovered on my other side pointing to the undelivered notes in my pocket and also sardonically read ng the thought which I was vainly rying to repress, that now there was no obstacle to Katherine's re- with me and taking care of Junior while I undertook the histor- | cal research work for Philip | veritzen.

Why Madge Appreciates Dicky's
 Advice

'
 Advice.
 Katherine's wall that she felt as if she never wanted to see Hal Mere d!th or hear from him again, was like . revelation to me of the hid len battle which had been going on in my kinswoman's heRm. The noted a!ienist, so unhappiIy tied to a wom- an who had married him only to protect herself, and who had made no secret of her infatuation for an- other man. long ago had told me frankly of his early love for Kath- erine when she WAS 8 student nurse and he an interne in the same hos pital, and declared his intention ct winning her If he were satisfied thaJ her life with her husband was un- happy. knew that he had told Katherine all this also, and I had surmised that the little nurse was far more interested and fascinated by his devotion than she herself knew, des. te her indignant and sincere outburst to me against Hal Meredith's presumption upon the only occasion we had discussed the subjecl.
 But her extreme agitation now, her horror at the idea of confront ing Hal Meredith. told me that the sudden and tragic death of Lucia Meredith by her own hand had re- vesled to Katherine something in the depths of her own heart from which hei sensitive and over-con- sciertioIs spirit shranlt morbidly.
 "I Understand Everything"
 There swept over me a wave of gratitude TO pleky for his insight and fn esight In advising me not to sfew to Katherine those horrible ac- cusing letters which Lucia had left for her perusal. Hal Meredith was suffering from the same morbid re- action Of soul which was swaying Katherine, and I shared Diclly's opinion that when he came back to sanity he would be glad indeed that l I had disregarded his directions. Were Katherine to see those letters 1 in her present frame of mind-but | II was unthinkable, as Dicky had | so l pressed them deeper into my pocket and then took her twisting hands tendorly in mine.
 Dear girl, I understand every thing" l told her gently And there , isn't the slightest need for you to see anyone. Dicky and will attend 10 'verything-all the little formal
