GENEVA, July 29.-The new
British proposals for the settlement
of the cruiser problem will hardly
prove acceptable to the American
and japanese delegates and the
early collapse of the naval limita-

dicted today.
No formal action will be taken,
however, until the plenary session
set for Monday. Meanwhile, the
americans and japanese will
study the new proposals in more de-
tail while the British. if they de-
sire. will have time to advance still
another plan more likely to salts
fy the Americans and japanese.
The proposals now before the
conference. submitted by the Brit

London, would allow the United
States and Britain maximum of
twelve 10000 ton cruisers and res
trict gun calibre on all other
cruisers to six inches.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. c. A. L. Reed


You cannot but be interested
= in the health problem as it
applies to teachers. even IL you
are not a teacher. IL for no other
than a humane interest in the
welfare Of your children or your
community.
In this day Of feminisru. with
the schools Of the United States
almost exclusively in the hands
of women, the problem is essen
tally one Of the relation OF this
occupation to the health Of
, women.
The health Of Industrial women
has been and is being studied
carefully because the facts can
be made accessible.
Women Of the professional class
are much less accessible TO
observation. and the statistics
indispensable for the advance Of
this class toward health and sue
cess are deplorably lacking. DR..
Fairchild has delivered an address
based on the observation Of 500
sent for over a month from work
on account OF ill-health, and on
the intermittent observation Of q
total of nearly $4,000.
Teachers as a profession have
sufficient pay to secure reason
able amenities of life and the
best of medical and dental atten-
ton and their calling teaches
them the essentials Of modern
hygienic propaganda.
1t is therefore surprising not
only that women teachers but all
women show a higher sickness
rate than men living under the
same conditions. Insurance com
panieS demand only two-thirds
from a man of the premium paid
by a woman.
The mean illness Of men teach

have a few men teachers. Il les
than half that of women, as shown
in statistics compiled by Hart
journal OF the Royal Statistical
Society, 1920.
Married women teachers are ab-
sent moro often than single women.
Men, however. have nearly twice
the death rate Of women.
1t would appear from this that.
In some paradoxical way. women
save themselves from death by BE-
coming i'll!
But however gratifying the CON-
paratively low death rate il 90
them, their higher sickness rate
Is a nuisance. not only to them
selves. but to their pupils and en-
ployers. 1t is. therefore very i'm
portant to note whether any part
of it is due to remediable causes
that could he diminished by i'm
proved conditions Of life.
First, then, counting short alb.
scnces, women seem 10 suffer more
from every disease. and this seems
to be partly due to inferior resist
ance.
Anemia and debility account for
q great number Of short absences.
and on investigation it is hardly
ever possible to find any more
definite cause. They are three
times as common among women as
among men teachers. and interfere
considerably with their effisiency.
