President Believes Plan to Deal

delegation to the preliminary confer
ence on disarmament at Geneva was
announced at the White House He
will be assisted by Rear Admiral Hill
airy P. Jones and Andrew Long, Bri-
gadier General Harry A. Smith and

President Coolidge doubts that 1t
will be necessary for the United
States to send representative to
the Geneva meeting or the 4S world
court states to explain the reserva-
lions attached by the senate to
American adherence to the court.
The President takes the position that
the senate reservations speak for
themselves and that there would be
no reason to attempt a further ex-
PLANTATION. Despite objections raised
at the recent meeting OF the council
of the League Of Nations, it was said
at the White House that the President
is satisfied with the method follow
ed by the United States in sending
formal notifications of its adherence
to each nation individually.

SENATE ORDERS
PUBLIC HEARING
Senate Vets and Drys to Get Six
Days Each to Present Cases
on Law Revision.

Washington-The prohibition issue,
which has agitated both houses of con-
gress at this session as has no other
question, is to be given public airing
before senate committee during the
two weeks beginning April 5.
This was determined upon by the
senate judiciary committee, which APP
proved, with but single dissenting
vote, the program recommended by
Its subcommittee of five for hearings
on the pending measures for modifi-
cation Of the dry laws.
Senator Means, Republican, Colo
RADIO, will have charge of the hearings
and he will attempt to hold both the
vets and drys strictly to the subject
of the bills at issue. Each side will
have six days for the presentation of
Its case with the vets taking the stand
first.
Besides approving the program for
the hearings, the committee Endorsed
the action of the subcommittee in in
definitely postponing consideration OF
bill by Senator Edwards, Democrat,
New Jersey, for repeal of the Volstead
act. This measure was pigeonholed,
1t was explained, because its passage
would leave the government without
authority to enforce the dry constitu-
tional amendment.

Presidents Father is Given
Simple Burial at Plymouth

Plymouth, Where in the somber
Vermont hills group of rugged coun-
try folk and the President of the Uni
ted States met and buried Colonel
John c.. Coolidge. the Presidents
father.
A country minister read the Episco-
pal burial service. The choir sang.
Only the ritual, the reading of the
Scriptures and the prayer marked the
last rites for the man who was the
patriarch of Plymouth and a romantic
figure in the nation.
Then the casket, banked high with
the choicest flowers of the White
House gardens, was placed on sleigh
with six National Guardsmen-the
pallbearers-and drawn by two bay
horses over frozen roads a few hum
dred yards to the Plymouth cemetery.
There, in the shadow of granite shaft
which Coolidge himself had had erect
ed two years ago, it was committed
to the ground. The President and the
rugged mountain people walked ST.
lently away.

The Ballad of Captain Kidd

Inc Ballad or captain hIdu
TAPT. WILLIAM KIDD, perhaps
the most famous pirate OF all time,
was hanged at Mapping, England on
May %, 1701. Popular feeling, evil
IDENTIFY sensing what was established as
historical fact 200 years later-that an
innocent man went to his death at
Execution dock that day-immediately
made martyr of him and he became
the hero of popular ballad which,
like so many other ballads, grew and
grew as each singer added his contri-
button to it. There are known to be at
least "a stanzas to the ballad, and
possibly more. 1t Is a typical exam
pie of balladry and perhaps the most
famous of all ballads in which pirate
Is the hero. Curiously enough William
Kidd was always called Robert Kidd
by the populace, and here Is part Of
the ballad as 1t was then sung:
My name was Robert Kidd, when !
sailed, when 1 sailed,
Ny name was Robert Kidd. when I
sailed,
My name was Robert Kidd,
Gods laws I did forbid
And so wickedly 1 did. when sailed.
My parents taught me we'll, when
sailed, when ! sailed,
My parents taught me well, when I
sailed,
My parents taught me we'll,
To shun the gates Of hell.
But gainst them l rebelled, when
sailed.
I'd a Bible in my hand, when I sailed,
when / sailed,
I'd Bible in my hand when I sailed
I'd Bible in my hand,
By my fathers great command
And sunk 1t in the sand, when I sailed.
I spied the ships of Spain, as I sailed.
as 1 sailed,
I spied the ships of Spain as sailed
i spied the ships of Spain,
fred on them amain,
Til most of them was slain, as
sailed.
I'd ninety bars of gold. as I sailed. as
sailed,
I'd ninety bars of gold. as sailed.
I'd ninety bars of gold,
And dollars manifold,
With riches uncontrolled, as I sailed.
To Execution dock must go, must
go,
To Execution dock 1 must go.
To Execution dock,
Will many thousands flock,
But I must bear the shock, and must
die.
Come all We, young and old. see me
die, see me die,
Come all We. young and old, see me
die,
Come all We, young and old,
You're welcome to my gold,
For by 1t I've lost my soul. and must
die.
Take warning now by me, for must
die, for I must die,
Take warning now by me, for ] must
die,
Take warning now by me,
And shun bad company,
Lest you come to hell with me, for ]
die.

LIVERY mother should know that
her child need not have diphtheria
unless she wishes. What mother.
especially one who has ever seen a
child suffer and die from this aw-
full disease, would ever willingly allow
her child to have it or fail to do
everything she could to prevent it.
The fact that this disease, which for
centuries has been one of the worst
scourges of child life that we know,
can be practically completely con-
trolled, is due to the other fact that
more is known of this disease and its
causes than of any other enemy Of
human life.
Diphtheria is caused by minute
germ or vegetable plant, which is in
hailed and grows on the mucous men,
brane of the throat In little white
patches like flower beds. 1t was
discovered in 1883 by Klebs. German
bacteriologist and was first grown out
side the human body In 1884 by Loef-
fer, another bacteriologist. These lit
tie plants, by themselves, do little
harm ordinarily, unless they happen
to grow in the larynx or windpipe,
In which case they sometimes form
a membrane which fills up the larynx
and chokes the child. But growing
in the throat, they make poison or
toxin, which the child absorbs, and
IL enough of the poison is absorbed.
the child is poisoned and dies.
But every child who has diphtheria
does not die. That's because each
one of us has in his blood a sub
stance which will neutralize a certain
amount of the poison. If we have
large amount we do not take these
diseases. If we have only a moderate
amount, we may take the disease but
we have chance to recover. But if
we have only little antitoxin in our
blood then we are susceptible" to
that disease.
Now in diphtheria we cannot only
make this antitoxin artiicially but we
can also tell exactly how susceptible
any child is. A drop of antitoxin in
jected under the skin shows this just
oo oNSuh olCiy do SIOCcI > SCdic
shows how much a bag of tea weighs.
So we can separate the susceptible
children from the immune. Then if
each susceptible child is given a dose
of toxin-antitoxin It is artifcially
changed from susceptible child to
an immune child and is protected
against diphtheria.
This isn't theory. It's fact. It
has been proved in hundreds of thou
sands of cases. No mother need ever
have case Of diphtheria in her house
hold If she will use what we now
know to protect her children. Every
case Of diphtheria today is the re-
suit of either ignorance or careless
ness. Your family doctor or your local
health officer can make your child
safe against diphtheria if you wish.
It's up to you.

'The Mildest Manner'd Man
That Ever Cut q Throato

WHEN in 1896 William Kidd set
w forth from England with a royal
warrant to hunt down certain wicked
and ill-disposed pirates" one of those
specifically mentioned was certain
Capt. Thomas lew or Too, a native
of Rhode Island whose headquarters
were on Madagascar. Captain Tew
had originally sailed from the Bar
bados with Captain Dew under
privateering commission, but Tew and
his men turned pirate and sailed to
the Red sea.
Here he met a ship engaged In the
Indian trade and found her a rich
prize SO that each Of his men re-
ceived 5000 pounds sterling as his
share of the loot Then they returned
to Madagascar, the lair of pirates In
the Orient, and Captain Tew's posi-
ton with these gentry was firmly es-
tablished. At one time he joined with
the famous French pirate, Nilsson,
originator Of 'piracy-without-tear
at his Utopian city of Libertatia, but
q quarrel between the French and
English pirates threatened to wreck
that peaceful republic.
A duel was arranged between the
tive leaders but 1t was averted by
another pirate leader, an italian, and
the trouble was settled by Tew being
appointed admiral and the diplomatic
italian, secretary Of state for the lit
tie republic. In fact, Tew soon ac-
quired such reputation for being
kind and gentlemanly pirate that
ships, when they learned who their
assailant was, gave themselves up
without resistance.
Missions Utopian colony finally
broke up and the French leader and
Captain lew went their separate
WAYS. Tew returned to Rhode Island,
where he settled down for awhile and
engaged In honest shipping enter
prises. But the call Of the sea and
the lure of "going on account" was
too much for him to resist and in
short time he consented to take pi.
rate ship to the Red sea.
Arriving there, Tew attacked a big
ship belonging to the Great Mogul and
in the desperate battle which followed
he was mortally wounded. An old
historian tells with grewsome detail
of the wounding of the pirate leader
and how, almost disemboweled, he
kept up the fight as long as he was
able to stand. Then, when he dropped,
bir mon surrendered forthwith
Thus did this famous pirate cheat
the gallows In Execution dock, but
he left behind him name for courage
and certain degree of decency which
Is strongly in contrast to the careers
of so many pirates of his day. To
him might well have been applied
Byron's famous Characterization, He
was the mildest manner'd man that
ever scuttied ship or cut throat"
