the administration had been deny
ing.
The State Department had per-
spired freely in attempts to show in
its notes to France on the new
French tariffs that reciprocity had
never been a part of this country's
policy and that we never bargained
over the tariff to the point where
we would lower or raise ours when
some other nation did as much for
us.
L0wman announced formally the
raising of the tariff on certain
minor articles of import from
France and then undertook to ex-
plain that this was because France
had raised her tariffs. He said:
"The American policy is one of
reciprocity. That's our policy. They
go up, we 60 up; they 60 down, we
come down."
Insofar as the tariff law concern
ing the commodities in question was
concerned, Mr.. Lowman was dead
right. But practically what he did
was to repudiate the whole basis of
the State Departments contention
against the new French tariffs. If
France were to seize upon his words
and flaunt them, It would also have
an excellent comeback against Presi-
dent Coolidge's explanation that our
whole protest was against dis
elimination" for the new rates an
nounced and explained by Lowman
were just as much discrimination
against France insofar as they went
as Frances new tariffs are against
us.
It begins to look as if Mr.. Low
man wouldn't be with us much
longer. His superiors, including
Secretary Mellon, were embarrassed
and had trouble smoothing things
over with the State Department and
now they're bereft Of sleep wonder
ing where Lowman will spill the
beans next.
Speaking more seriously, the
tariff row between the United States
is fraught with all sorts of possi-
bilities. Whether the contentious
Of the State Department in it's notes
to France are tenable or not, they
apparently must be maintained if
we are to keep protective tariff
policy intact.

ing the foods which are to constitute
your diet is to learn to select the
foods of the proper quality.
AS the builder chooses materials
out of which to construct a building,
so you should study with the ut
most care the materials out of which
you are to build your body, not alone
for strength and endurance, but for
beauty Of form and symmetry.
Although your system has the inn
portant power Of choosing the ele-
ments needed from the mass of con-
glomerate substance you burden
your digestive organs with, it is not
wise to ovcrw,-k your assimilative
functions with so much needless
material you are in the habit Of
using for food. We need food solely
to supply the essential elements for
the body are those containing these
vital elements. Probably the most
needed substance is that supplied by
the protein foods, such as meats,
eggs, cheese, nuts, fish,. fowl, etc.
Our muscular systems require these
important protein foods and the
body can not long exist If deprived
of them. Next in Importance are
the foods which embrace the vitam-
ines and organic salts, such as those
found in the non-starchy vegetable.
Chief among these vegetables are
celery, spinach, asparagus-in short,
all of the greens and also the small
tender non-starchy squashes, as
summer squash, zucchini, chayotes
and cucumbers. These vegetables
provide the vegetable minerals out
of which we construct and repair the
nucleus Of the nerve, blood and bone
cells.
No living animal cell can long
exist without these indispensable
elements. Fruits also furnish
large supply of these vital prin-
ciples, so needed by our bodies, often
starved on so much tasty denatured

If you do not learn to select your
foods from the standpoint Of proper
quality, you cannot expect the gro-
Ger or butcher to do this for you.

| The business man or manufacturer whose
hopes for the future are wrapped up in an ex-
pected return to pre-war normally is out on a
limb. For pre-war normally never will return.
That's history.
We still hear suggestions and hopes of re-
verting to old-time methods and the pre-war
business basis, but, according to DR.. julius
Klein, of the United States department of COM
merce, "such retrogression would be about as
simple as an attempt to return to the middle
ages-and about as profitable"
There isn't great deal of room in business
these days for Aunt Sarah, who inherited a
shoe factory and insisted that the factory go on
making high-laced shoes because Uncle Ezra
sold 'em in the '70s. American business never
was more dynamic and volatile than it is today,
with constantly changing front in practically
al lines.
Since 1921, DR.. Klein points out, American
business has left as monuments Of its progress
= long succession of junk-heaps or discarded
processes, Anticipated ideas and obsolete
policies. There have been tragedies of those
who chung to revered and once profitable
practices.
The new business man must be eager to take
advantage of the slightest changes in trend. 1t
IS no day for secrecy. Backward glimpses
should not be longing and DESTROYS of what is
behind, but inteligently inquisitive of facts.
Index numbers and carefully plotted charts
and statistical tables have come to have new
meaning. Like Lindbergh, the business man
must be able to spot his position, and if it's
wrong, correct it.

Mexico City, the situation was more

1t was at Celaya that Obregon's
arm was blown off by bomb. An
eyewitness, recalling the incident,
says that the bomb tore Obregon's
uniform to rags and covered his
body with wounds. It was feared
that Recommending general would
die.
In the morning, Obregon's officers
came to their leader and told him
that his soldiers were disheartened
and in bad mental condition for q
fight. Rumors had spread that he
was dead.
