 Tt leaves the Armenians to their fate or it sends marines to crush lib- erty." he added. "and repudiates the pledge of freedom for the Filipinos.
 Christian bodies have no in fuence in American public affairs. Many of them have abdicated. Therefore there is all the more the challenge to individuals to give suc- cor to the children who, without our aid. would have perished. We can- not save our souls and turn deaf ears to their entreaties."

 The value of prison industries in reforming criminals and keeping convlcts contented. together with preventing them from rioting and making bids for escape, was em- phasized before the house labor committee by state officials of Ida. ho and Vermont. Before the senate interstate commerce committee. Levin J. Chase, secretary of the board of trustees of the New Hamp- shire state prison. said the Hawes bill was an entering wedge to de. stroy prison labor"
 The measures would ban prison- made goods from interstate com merce unless they were labeled as convict made products where re- quired under state laws.

Representative Welch. oi California, a republican. on the committee. disputed this assertion saying the hard labor of the con victs in rock cutting was the reason not idleness.

'was a fav- orite medicine of former times, but the mercury and calomel of which it was constituted left the patient in anything but a joyful mood. Today that dose Is prescribed less often. but there is still the blue moss in the scandal of newspapers, in h. moral movies. in theological de- i nunciations and in fearful scientific predictions of what will happen to this planet.
 If you want to grow fat laugh. and if you desire thinness. laugh and you will be rewarded. You should so ! laughing to work and sing at your labors. The best thing ot have up your sleeve is a funny bone.' l The speaker ventured to predict that time would come when his philosophy of laughter would be recognized or so valuable that clocks would be equipped with phono- graphs. At regular intervals call to laughter would issue from the loud d-epeaker.
 He advised his hearers to look for the amusing features of their troubles. Comedy" he said. lis the trouble that the other fellow is tn."

BsT Policy to Aid Shipping Recoan@dd to Coa9feE

Washington. Feb. 1S (UP)-Rec- ssnmendations for . new merchant marine policy to aid American ship plng interests were submitted to congress by the U. .. chipping board today.
 The shipping board called for ~reaffirmation, as provided in the Jones bill, of the national policy to establish and maintain . permanent merchant marine"
 Generous compensation for the transport of foreign mails under long term contracts and . liberaliza- ton of tho terms under which American ship builders and opera tses may borrow money from the government were urged by the beard.
 Other proposals included:
 Federal tax exemption on Amer lean vessels operating in foreign trade: transfer to privately owned American vessels of the business now handled by army and navy transports and by the vessels own cd and chartered by the Panama Railroad Steamship line; amend msnt of the merchant marine act to provide for creation of naval re- ssYve, so as to authorize two months pay to officers and men of the mer- chant marine naval reserve who are employed on vessels of the mer. chant marine in foreign trade: es- tablishment of an insurance system to place American vessels on ar equality with foreign vessels in this respect"
 The proposals were the outgrowtf of . recent conference here of lead ing shipping men. who adopted res olutions asking congress to pass ths Wood and Copeland shipping bills.
 No single ono of the bills now 1T congress, the board said. provides al the legislation necessary to mee present requirements, and a com bination of the best features of al was suggested.
 The board said its proposals would give the country within a reasona bls time a permanent ard prosper ous merchant marine made up of al modern ships under private owner shlp. capable of transporting thu greater portion of our foreign com ynerce and serving as powerful nsval auxiliary in time of war;" Most leading ship men are fl harmony with the boards recon msndations. the report said.
 :.It is assumed that for the pres eat there is no prospect of congress passing subsidy legislation. ant therefore. adoption of certain in direct aids would prove very effec tive" the board declared.

BRIEF FILED IN SEATTLE
 LIQUOR CASE XRANGL8
Govesaaasat Gays Who TaRptng Moth0ds oi tts Ageats Aro
 Coustttutiousl.

Washington. Fob. IT o-Ths fed eral government. tn . brief prepared for filing in the supreme court, holds that the wire-tapping methods employed by prohibition agents in obtaining evidence against Roy L. Olmstead and others at Seattle arc permitted under the search and seizure provisions of the constitu- ton.
 The case has been set down for argument at an early date on the single question whether ''the use of evidence of private telephone con- versations between the defendants and others. intercepted by means of wire-tapping. Is a violation of the fourth and fifth amendments and therefore mot permissible in the federal courts"
 The government brief sites a number of cases wherein evidence may be obtained by tapping wires at points on the public highways or in an office building and concludes that the methods used at Seattle in tap ping wires leading to dwellings. but at points not involving physical en- try to dwellings. were not forbidden 1 by law.
 "We are not defending wire-tap. ping as a method proper generally to be used for detection of crime.' the brief says. although cases ma. be imagined where wire-tappine would not arouse any resentment among good people. The prohibition unit of the treasury disclaims 1t ane the department of justice ha' drowned on it.
 No other recent case ln the Tea eral courts has come to our atten ton in which officers of the United States have resorted to it. The ques ton here Is not one of governmental or departmental policy. but of con stitutional law. If in any circum stances, obtaining of evidence b, tapping wires is deemed an objec tionable governmental practice. i may be regulated or forbidden b! statute. but clearly the constitution does not forbid it unless it involve actual unlawful entry into [ house."

It's exasperating when men don't understand-and embarrassing when they do. Women who have learned of Midol don't have painful periods.
 Nidol is not a narcotic. It acts only on the organs affected. Per foctly safe. but swift; 1t brings complete comfort in five to seven minutes! No matter how hard q time you've always had, Midol will dhpel every particle of pain. It is only common sense to use 1t, for it does nothing to hinder the normal, natural process of menstruation; i; but makes it painless.
 Get Midol in the trim little case of aluminium, for purse or pocket: {: fifty cents. at any drugstore.

Spanish Pine Cones
Give Peasants Income

vALLADOLID, Spain. up -
Throughout December and January
when the snow lies thick in this
district, most of the country folk
gather millions of pine-cones fallen
from the resinous trees Astounding
here, and extract from them the kerr
nels, which are regarded as a lux
ury in cooking and cake-mak:ng.
The air is filled with a delicious
aroma as the workers in family
groups rake the cones together and
transport them in hand-barrows to
waiting wagons. which carry them
TO the peasants cottages. In the
courtyards under the winter sun the
cones open and disclose the kernels.
which are placed in primitive hon
rers turned by hand until the shells
drop off. and then they are placed
in sleeves which remove all the dust
and debris. Then they are emptied
into sacks for market. all white and
ready fer consumption.
