foreign residents in Japan" Foreign

Japanese women, while even foreign

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

@. What Is the direct cause of
pneumonia p. T. NJ.
A. The Public Health Service says
this disease is caused by an infection
of the lung tissue with a micro
scopic vegetable germ known as the
pneumococcuS.
Q. What Is the origin OF the term
packing industry" S. y.
A. From the beginning pork was
sailed down and packed in barrels,
hence arose the name now given the
misnomer today because 1t applies in
a greater degree to the industries OF
fruit and vegetable canning where
packing in containers is an important
feature.
q. When clay Is stirred up with
water and allowed to stand sometimes
some of 1t will remain In suspension
for months. AS 1t Is heavier than the
water, why doesn't 1t sink?-C. NJ. S.
a. The Bureau of Standards says
that the clay particles which stay In
suspension in water for indefinite pc
RODS are colloidal in dimension. They
do not settle. partly because of Sigh.
convection currents in the water which
would keep them up very much the
same as slight air currents will keep
up very minute dust particles, and
probably partly because Of Brownian
movement.
Q: When did Dudley Buck die?-
A. The composer, Dudley Buck.
died in 1909.
O. How strong was Sandow?-C.
A. 1t is difficult TO comp ARE
Ioo laiu
cial tests, at which he is superior to
the rest. A recent newspaper article
stated that unquestionably the strong
est man of modern times was Louis
Cyr of Canada. who was considerably
stronger than Sandow. Breitbart.
| who died in October, 1925, is said to
have come nearer to emulatinS San
dow than any Of the latter's many
! imitators. Certain strong men ex-
| celled Sandow in specific feats. For
| instance, Arthur Saxon was the best
| litter of weights ever produced. Stein
| bach, Inch, Ashton, Travis. Rolan
| dow and Zurich each had some I'M
| usual performance to his credit.
@. When addressing letter to a
widow, should her late husbands
! initials be used?-R. y.
A. Following her husbands death,
a woman IS known socially by the
! name which she used during her hus-
| bands lifetime. Mrs. John Jones con
I tinues to be known as Mrs. John
! Jones.
| G. How many marines saw actual
service in the war and how many were
| killed?-H. J. II.
| y. The Marine Corps says that il
does not have figures giving the exact
number of marines in actual combat
during the World War. The number
| which served overseas during the war
was $50 officers. 27.557 enlisted men.

Col. Mitchell's Resignation.

Col. Mitchell's resignation from the
Army. coming promptly after the &C.
ton of the President in approving.
with modification. the findings Of the
court martial, is no surprise. Indeed,
in all the circumstances 1t would have
been surprising had the officer elected
to remain in the service under SEN
tence of suspension and partial loss
Of pay. 1t is probable that the resig-
nation will be accepted. perhaps in
terms that will be unsatisfactory to
the officer and his friends.
1t is indicated that Col. Mitchell will
now devote himself to agitation Of the
question of air defense reform. Being
| free of the service, q private citizen,
he will be under no restriction and can
say and do what he likes without re-
gard for regulation or disciplinary re-
straint. But it is a question whether
his agitation will be as effective in the
present circumstances as he expects.
For he has had two goes" at the SUBJ
ject, and it is doubtful whether he

say.
1t is the general opinion that Col.
Mitchell made mistake when he un.
dertook to criticize the course of tho
War and Navy Departments In re-.
spect to aviation while still a member
of the military service. Had he re-
signed then and taken the field as
critic and protagonist he would have
been a free agent, beyond the range
of discipline for INSTRUMENTATION. But
when he pressed his case while still in
the service he occupied an untenable
position with a division Of issues. In
terest was not centered upon what he
said, but mainly upon what he did,
for which the Government could not
do otherwise than submit him to court.
martial.
A second tactical mistake was
made when Col. Mitchell undertook to
set up a defense of fact at his trial.
the court obligingly permitting him to
present testimony to show the truth
of his criticisms, though the facts re-
lating to military and naval aviation
had nothing to do with the question
before It, Thus the recital Of the al
legged shortcomings Of our military
and naval aviation became a twice
told tale, with consequent diminution
of public interest. Now it is to be-
come, it would seem. a thrice-told tale,
and Col. Mitchell will find, as others
have found before, that it is hard, If
not impossible, to arouse the public in
terest a third time in a question that
has been thrashed out in detail twice
before.
Certain changes in the aviation or
ganization will probably come about,
| possibly in consequence of the advo-
| cacy and agitation Of this officer and
| his supporters in Congress. Perhaps
the incident will eventually bear fruit
| of value. The pity is that Col.
Mitchell did not respect the rules Of
discipline at the outset, and by leaving
the service first and criticizing after
| ward demonstrate his Willingness to
sacrifice his official status for the good
of the service, which he had honored
and in which he had gained eminent
distinction.

French Travel Urged.

That Frenchmen do not travel

The Great Sea Storm.

The crew Of the British freighter
Antinoe have been rescued by the
United States liner President Roose-
Welt. The American ship answered the
English freighter's SOS and stood by
her for four days in mid-Atlantic in
one Of the severest storms Of history.
Numerous attempts failed to rescue
men from the stricken and apparently
doomed freight ship. Two Of the crew
Of the President Roosevelt lost their
lives. Half the lifeboats of the Ameri.
can ship were smashed. But at inter.
walls men were got off the freighter
and brought on board the big passen.
