Source of Chocolate

Chocolate is made from the large
nutritive seeds or beans of the cacao
tree, which is small evergreen tree
indigenous to tropical America.
Formerly all chocolate came from
tropical America, but now the Gold
Coast Colony in Africa is the largest
producer of cacao. There Is much
popular confusion in connection with
the words coco, cocoa and cacao. The
original name of the tree was cacao,
and that form is retained in German,
Spanish and French. In DIR. Samuel
Johnson's dictionary IL was spelled
cocoa. II probably was an error.
At any rate, the spelling cocoa"
is the accepted form in English. The
cacao has no relation to cocoanuts,
which are produced by cocoanut
palms. There also Is small shrub
which grows in South America called
the coco.

A Watched Pot Never
.Boils!

This. homely old adage. has real
foundation in the fact that every
lift Of the cover allows part of the
heat to escape and lengthens the time
required for cooking. The same
principle applies to the frequent
peeps in the oven that are necessary
when there's no scientific regulation
of the heat.
II not only seems longer when you
have to watch the pot; it actually Is
longer!
But, thanks to modern science, the
up-to-date gas range assumes this
burden and controls the heat at ex-
actly the right degree for whatever
you are cooking. You need not even
stay at home during a long, tedious
baking. Nothing will overlook. Moth
ing will undertook. The little heat
regulator keeps a sharp watch, con-
trolling the heat more accurately
than you could do It. OF course,
you'll have one Of these ranges in
your kitchen, sooner OF later. Why
not get It now and enjoy its help
fulness through the hot months.

Water Plants Early In Day

Watering plants early in the day
during dry weather allows them to
dry off before night, which makes
them less susceptible to disease. Lack
of moisture will stunt and weaken
plants and often cause flower buds
to dry up and drop off.

Beauty Answers

r. 1.-THE coarseness Of the skin
on the upper arms is due to poor
circulation and carelessness in drying
the outside part of the arms. Scrub
the parts with a bland soap and wa
ter, using a rough wash cloth OF
brush. Rinse in cold water and rub

HOPE IS HELD IN
ARMS MEET


GENEVA, July Z. With the
American. British ana Japanese dele
cations rlgidIy maintaining their
points of view on the warmly con.
tested question OF cruiser tonnage,
the deadlock in the horsepower
naval conference persisted today.
Leaders OF all three delegations,
however, indicated that they ex.
pect eventually to reach an agree
ment.
We are still looking for a way
to compromise on the cruiser issue, :
sad HughrS. Gibson, head OF the
American delegation SIT Is a hard
r'it we have not yet
given DIP hope.''
The American delegation was
heartened by the support Of Japan
which has lined up squarely with
the United States In opposition to
..e... ! proposals to set APP
roximately 800 900 as the total
gonnage Of the British and Ameri.
can cruiser strength.
Admiral Viscount Monoru Satio
formally expressed Japan's disap.
proval of the British proposal for
an increased tonnage ''for defen-
sive purposes" He said he con-
sidered the minimum American
estimate OF the respective British
and American tonna ge-250, 0O0-as
more acceptable to the people and
government of Japan.

u s. Official Circles
Here Pleased With
Stand of japanese

The Geneva naval conference is
lettering on the edge of disruption
and failure, and only heroic sacrifi-
cial measures on the part OF either
the United States or Great Britain
can save 1t.
This opinion was almost unani.
mously held in Washington today
as Britain persisted in her demand
at Geneva for cruiser ratio of
nearly 100000 tons--a program that
would force the United States and
Japan to spend billions of dollars
IL the 5-5-3 Ss4val ratio is to be
maintained.
Some OF the more optimistic Off.
Gals, however, saw ray of hope
today in two developments Of the
past "a hours.
One is the whole-hearted support
Of the American position by Japan's
delegation at Geneva. The other
was a sudden and unexpected trip
to Washington by Sir Esme How.
ard, the British ambassador. How
ard and Secretary o. State Kellogg
held q long conference at the State
silence was observed by both.
The Japanese abandonment OF the
British, after having supported
Britain in the capital ship ques-
ton. was especially pleasing to Ad.
ministration officials.
It puts the British delegates in an
unenviable position of standing out
alone for a world naval program
that calls for an increase instead
Of a decrease in present armament.

WARLESS PACT
FRENCH PLAN

posal would be given the most care
full consideration by this Govern
ment. although no early action look
ing toward the conclusion Of such
treaty is anticipated.
The French treaty plan, as out.
lined by FOREIGN Minister BRAND
and handed to Herrick in Paris sew
eral weeks ago. is understood to be
exceedingly brief. It would merely
provide for pledge from each Gov
eminent that it will never prose.

In this respect. Brands proposal
differs from the Shotwell-C Chamber

very lengthy and are modelled after

treaties make allowances for wars
based on national honor, which is

the gratefulness of our hearts that we
speak in memoriam the names OF
friends departed and plant flower
upon their grave.
1--WE cannot forget the dead if we
would. Go where we will they are
ever with us. BY the finer intuitions
Of our natures we live and converse
with them. The well-remembered ca
dences of their voices mingle with the
music of the whispering breeze of the
springtime; the vivid contour of their
presence is silhouetted against the
precious objects of familiar surround
ingS or the well-known background OF
authentic history.
1.-THE earth is filled with the labors
of the departed. When we walk into
our great libraries where are volumes
almost beyond numbering, we are NOV
ing mostly among the dead. Here is
the wisdom of the ages preserved in
iInperiShable form-the great of all
time still speaking to each oncoming
generation.
I'm our art galleries with uncovered
head we stand with mute admiration
before matchlesS marble and canvass
into which geniuses have carved and
painted their own souls and immortal
lied their influence. The scientist in
his laboratory is making experiments
by the light of those pioneers who
blazed the highway to modern know
ledge. The statesmen of today are
walking in the peshs of fundamental
government laid out by their forebears
whose names frequent the annals OF
past history.
Institutions and republics, customs
of thought and standards of living
all are the work Of the departed. One
generation serves, suffers and dies and
another enters into the blessings of
their service and sacrifice; one sows
and another reaps; one labors and an
other enters into their labors.
