Enter The World Court

Paul Smiths, N. Y.-President Cool
idge is confident the nations that are
members of the permanent court of
International justice will accept the
American reservation to the protocol
Of adherence and that their examina-
ton of the reservations will show that
the object is merely to place the Uni
ted States on a parity in the court
with the nations that are members of
the League of Nations. Nations who
are members of the World court and
who also are members of the League
of Nations and have seat in the
council of the league, it was pointed
out, have a veto power over any ad-
visory opinions the court may render,
inasmuch as the unanimous consent
of the council must be given for such
an opinion.

All the way home from the sea- shore, through all his adventure, Danny had planned and talked about how he would rush in and make himself known 10 Nanny. He had pictured to himself how she would squeak for joy and perhaps rush out to meet him. But now that he was here on his own door step, so to speak, he hcsitated. He had doubts. Yes, sir. Danny had doubts. Perhaps Nanny wouldn't be glad to see him after all. Perhaps she would even wish he hadn't come home. All his confidence in himself somehow seemed to ooze right out of his toes
 Aren't you going to climb up fhere?" inquired Peter
 "I-I think I'll wait a bit" squeak cd Danny. After all that is Nanny's house, and If she shouldn't be at home I wouldn't want to go in there. And If she Is at home I don't want to frighten her. I think I'll wait out here a little while, Don't you think that would be quite the right thing 10 do?"
 "Oh, certainly" replied Peter, turning his head aside to hide a grin, for he knew exactI how DaD- ny felt. You see, Peter had stayed away from home longer than he should have and he had had to make peace with little Mrs. Peter.

 Q How did "Kick the Bucket" get the significance of death?
 A. The expression now incorpor- ated in vernacular slang had a per fectly legitimate origin. The Egyp- tian word for kick is 'Khekh' meaning to recoil to return, to send back. Therefore to Khekh the bucket. in the Egyptian hieroglyph- les indicates or symbolizes the re- turn of an empty bucket-namely. body without life. The Egyptians used a bucket constantly in their hieroglyphcs as symbol of death.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia
 the Health Magazine
 Although much suggestive ma terial has appeared In medical liter | ature during the year relative to pernicious anemia. the exact cause of tn disease has not been definite ly established.
 Several investigators have shown the importance of a proper amount of iron in the diet: others have indi- cated the significance Of vitamin A and have suggested the use of liver and kidneys in the diet to pro- vide this substance.
 It is understood also that cod liver oil, orange juice and fresh vegetables are important accessor- ies in the control Of this disease.
 Family Tendencies
 Most of the evidence that is avail able indicates that heredity or family tendency does not play a very important part in the occurrence of this disease.
 One German investigator found A instances in which at least two cases were seen in the same family. Other investigators pointed out that the conditions which were likely to cause the disease in one member of the family would. no doubt. affect other members to a greater extent tha. they might affect other per sons.
 Two Pennsylvania physicians have recorded a series of cases that occurred in a family living in a small town in the northwestern part of that state.
 16 Cases in Family
 A careful record of the family has been maintained and shows that anemia was first noted in one of the male ancestors who died in 1S44. Among his descendants there have been l6 cases in all, with seven deaths diaenozed as pernicious anemia.
 These cases are interesting as showing possible influences Of heredity In the development of this ! disease. It Is the modern conception that the disease itself is not in- herited, but that there is a form Of body structure and function which is inherited and which is responsible for such cases.

and I love her. but I don't think I'd want her for a mother n-law."
 Are you going to let me go shopping for your new furniture tomorrow morning?" Angela called to her, just as she was squeezing through the gap in the hedge.
 Honey Lou nodded. 'I'll meet you at Sabine's at twelve o'clock" she called back. I've got a couple of errands to do in the morning.
 The next morning Honey Lou slept late. It was becoming habit with her now that she no longer owned a job and an alarm clock.
 She yawned and stretched and closed her eyes again. Then all of a sudden she remembered some- thing-and jumped out of bed.
 There was a window at the end of the hallway that overlooked the backyard of the house. And from it, through the yellowing trees. Honey Lou could see the kitchen window of the little flat at Dulci- mer street.
 She waved her hand at 1t as If 1t were her friend, before she turned away and went back to her bed room.
 There's my home, sweet home!' she said to herself. She could hardly wait until she reached the downtown stores and began to pick out the things to put into 1t the rugs and the chairs and the beds and the thousand-and-o -one things that make a home.
 At nine o'clock, she was going up the narrow iron staircase that led to the offices Of the Wallack Mills. At the bottom of the beaded bag that swung from her wrist was Ann Ludlow's crumpled letter.
 But Ann was not at her desk in the big room. She had been there, though-there was fresh wad of gum in the glass pen tray on her desk, and the air of the room was still heavy with the strong scent of the heliotrope perfume she used
 Honey Lou opened the door of her father-ln-law's private office. Margret sat there at his desk.
 Her plain dark face broke Into radiant smile as she looked up ant saw Honey Lou in the door way.
 Hello. stranger come in and sit down." she said. She jumped up and pulled out chair from the wall
 But Honey Lou perched on t'S corner of "Grumpy's" big mahog- any desk, like red bird in her scarlet hat and scarlet-llned suit. She lit a cigaret--and puffed 1t daintily. She disliked the flavor of tobacco in her mouth really. but like thousands of girls who smoke-she thought cigaret smok- ing fascinating and dashing thing | to do.
 Where's 'Grumpy?'" she asked.
 Gone to the doctors about his lumbago. He'll be back soon." Margret answered. "He says you've rented a flat"
