LIONEL LICORISH-HERO

The stories that surviving passengers of the

cowardice. But there is sailor whom all unite in

of Lionel Licorish.

NOT ALTOGETHER BAD

Times so hard in Serbian Macedonia accord
ing to story from Uskub, that peasants who wish
to marry forced to buy their wives the install
ment plan. The buying of wives is ancient custom
of the country, that fact alone has news value
but the adoption of the American expedient of gradual
future payments is novelty which may have its
plications.
As adopted by the Macedonians the plan calls for
70 per cent payment engagement, rs per cent on
marriage and the remainder in easy nsallments. The
account silent what the parents of the
bride take if the husband fails to keep up his
ments. Are the transactions insured by casualty
company, do they simply take the young
back and keep the payments already made? Would
they be able to market the goods again? Perhaps So
since there is of and wives in great
demands but surely at discount from the original
price, for allowance would have to be made for
and tear Surprising the husband once in possession,
refused to pay further and the wife we'll salts
fled with her condition that she refused to go back to
her folks what redress would the parents have?
The Macedonian plan appears little odd and diff
cult to Western eyes, but, after ALL it has ad
vantages. BY the American system the man gets his
wife free, but insallment paying usually begins inn
medately after marriage and continues indefinitely

GOLF FOR THE PEOPLE

Democracies have generous way Of passing uxuries
along to the plain people. The motor car rtzy

access to pleasures the possession Of the select
Golf perhaps is perfect symbol of this denlocratza
ton.
There are more than 200 public golf courses in
100 American cities distributed in thrtyeight of the
these courses The fees charged modest and the
links practically self-supporting. One city made a
profit of 100000 from its three courses.
Most cities have the aviation bug now and we'll for

A SCIENTISTS FAITH IN GOD
(Philadelphia Bulletin)

Perfect compatibility between the Christian system of
religion and the most advanced posulates of modern
science has always been cardinal point in the creed
of Sir Oliver Lodge He is regarded probably the
most eminent of British physicians and mathematicians
BY his side stands Lord Balfour subtle meta
physician, who has divided the interests of his life
between politics and philosophy. He, too, has hest
tation in accepting the Christian creed without
walton.
point of difference is that while both are devoted
members Of the Society for Physical Research Lord
Balfour keeps an open mind the evidence Of the
survival of personality after death, while Sir Oliver
Lodge accepts the pretensions of spirituasm.
1t is not surprising to find Sir Oliver preaching his
reverent belief in Coz and spiritual Immortality
the British Association for the Advancement of Science
Approval of his doctrines by many of these earnest
explorers Of the mysteries Of nature is consistent with
the principle expressed by Sir Oliver that the immensely
of the possible discoveries of science makes what has
really been accomplished feeble by comparison.
No poet ever stood more in awed admiration of the
wonders Of the universe the handwork Of God than
the great physicist who sees the astounding multiplicity
OF plants and animals evidence of the Creators
wonderful imagination Humanity should not add to
what Sir Oliver calls the blunders Of its infancy by
throwing away the accumulated wisdom of the ages,
which expresses itself in religion.

THE SEARCH FOR OIL

With OIL the worlds present problem is not finding
ways and to get along with inadequate sup
ply. That is problem for the distant future. The
task at hand is having to do with elimination of
waste, prevention of overproducon and conservation
of the untapped reservoirs.
For many years men have tumblcd another
in their haste to discover, and to DRAIN the worlds
oil reservoirs. 1t mattered not whether there inn
mediate demand for the output. When production
exceeded consumption huge tanks were built in which
superfuous petroleum could be stored and the cost Of
building and maintaining these artificial reservoirs
added to the cost of oil.
Lately q policy has been gaining ground. Why
not permit tho oil to remain underground in its
natural reservoirs until such time as demand makes
necessary its removal?
Though drilling and pumping should not be extended
until consumption catches up with production the
worldwide search for oil-bearing lands should
not STOP That the search will 60 is evidenced by

attend the movies and have an ex-

In view Of a number Of recent

seems to me an idea that should be
nationally adopted.
Thus, at the new "Little Carnegie
Theater," if the picture displeases
you. or if you're not in the mood to
look at the cinema, there are plenty
of other attractions.
There is, for instance, a floor
quite as big as any boosted by the
night clubs, where the bored movie
goers can dance until the last fade
out. There is a small but snappy
orchestra to provide music during q
portion of the evening, and there
after the guests can tune in on the
radio or use monograph. Coffee
and sandwiches are served-on the
house-and a ping pong court is at
ones disposal. There are tables
for bridge players and there are
little corners with books for one to
read.

THE DIET FOR NEURALGIA

AAE O161 CON NEO NAAutA
have found that practically every
case of neuralgia can be cured by
dietetic measures alone, although
there are a few cases which require
manipulative or special treatments.
The first thing to do in any case of
neuralgia is to thoroughly empty the
lower intestines by using at least
two enemas daily for a week or ten
days. During this time the toxins
should be washed out of the system
by using no food, but drinking from
three to four gallons of water each
day. Distilled water is preferable,
and one should drink two glasses Of
water every half hour.
During this fasting period relief
from the pain may be had by the APP
plication of heat from hot water
bottles, bags of hot salt. ETC., or
from deep therapy lamp. Some
times CONTEMPLATING plasters ap-
piled over the sorest spot give inn
mediate relief. The usual plasters
are made from mustard, capsicum or
Spanish fly.
Massage Of the sore nerves is not
advisable as this usually only in
creases the pain. A general body
massage over the parts that are not
sore may be successful.
Even though the pain may disap-
pear shortly after beginning this
fast, it is well to continue for a time
so that you will have no recurrence
of the trouble. After the water fast
of one week, change to milk diet.
The best milk for this purpose is
raw certified Holstein milk. Use
one large glassful every hour, start
ing at seven o'clock in the morning
and finishing. at six o'clock at night.
This will take three quarts of milk
per day. After 10 days the amount
can be gradually increased by taking
a glassful every half hour during
the morning, and a glassful every
hour during the afternoon. In this
way you can use from four to five
quarts day, and if you assimilate
this quantity you should gradually
increase the amount until you are
able to take glassful ever half
hour during the entire day. In this
way you will consume six quarts Of
milk daily.
The milk diet should be continued
for at least one month and at least
one enema should be used daily, even
though the bowels should begin to
move naturally.
Severe cases Of neuralgia may
require at least a month of the milk
diet. In returning to a regular diet
you must be very careful to employ
only the right food combinations. In
order to do this, you should make a
thorough study Of food chemistry so
that you will know how to supply
your body with all of the elements
that it requires and avoid creating
new toxins. This treatment may
seem to be little bit severe, but one
who is suffering from neuralgia is

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
(NEA Service Writer)

Washington, Nov. 27.-The United
States has four main fields of for
eign policy: Europe, the Far East,
the Panama Canal and its APP
proaches and Latin America.
The Far Eastern policy has been
the same for many years and is con-
cerned with China and Japan. We
want China to be strong, independent
and friendly to us. We don't want
China divided into spheres Of in
fluence by European nations. We
want to nourish every opportunity
for American trade expansion in
Asia.
Similarly our policy has been one
of friendliness toward Japan. The
theory is that we have most to gain
by that and much to lose in any
strong alliance between Japan and
Britain. Japan has come to see that
this is also her best bet, and mean
while has gone ahead with her pene-
tration of Manchuria unhindered.
The Panama Canal policy is pri-
marily one Of national defense. That
was the driving motive in the canals
construction and that is our main
concern in the Caribbean today. We
demand order in Central American
and Caribbean countries; we are de-
termined to safeguard all approaches
to the canal and we are thinking SER
iously of digging another canal
through Nicaragua. These facts
may not fully explain our last inter-
vention in Nicaragua, but they were
what actuated the government at the
time.
It might also be said that there
is a separate Mexican policy, but
one SO Kaleidoscope that it is hard
to describe it. One day we get to
worrying about Bolshevik propa-
ganda and oil and browbeat Mexico;
next day we remember to worry
about trade expansion and American
loans and begin to snuggle up to her.
Now and then we intervene for spe-
cial reasons. The Villa expedition of
1916, for instance, served the double
purpose of soaring the pro-German
Mexican leaders and giving Pershing
and other officers some practice for
the World War.
Today, however, shift III our
European policy and an intensified
ton Of our Latin-American policy

serious?"
Answer: Your child may have

nating-about every 80 minutes. He

Answer: cannot too strongly
condemn the use of any homemade
beer. The brewing of beer is a
science improved over centuries Of

rules were employed and the best
apparatus used. it would still be a
complicated and expensive method

Puffs Under Eyes
Question: Twenty writes: II have

me what they are from and the best
way to get rid of them?"
Answer: Your trouble is caused
from some form Of dropsy, which is
either from heart trouble, or because
your kidneys are not able to perform
their normal functions. Only a
proper diagnosis will tell you the
truth about the cause Of your
trouble.

the same time begun actually to
shout our hymn of love for South
America with confident assurance
that she will tumble pcll-mell into

Far and away the most important
angle of our European policy is as
to Great Britain. France enters into
the picture only by virtue of her
indebtedness to us and her recent
alliance with England. It is Britain
who has the only navy to match
ours; Britain who is our main COM
petitor for markets and raw ma
terials over the world.

her has been series Of great or
minor clashes, always followed by

Today we probably are further
estranged from England than at any
time since the Venezuelan boundary
dispute.
Announcement of Hoover's South
American trip, Coolidge's hard-boiled
Armistice day speech and the navy's
announcement of a policy of naval
equality, coming one right after an
other, meant that we were saving
our favors and friendly gestures for
this hemisphere and that if the old
world wanted any more it would
have to come begging for them on
our terms.
Our most important national in
terests, economic, military and polit-
zeal, have inspired all this. Main
tenance and expansion of American
prosperity, which Hoover discussed
SO much in the presidential CAM
paign, has become dependent on our
export trade. The hope of our ex-
port trade is in Latin America and
Asia. The government has finally
come to these conclusions simultan-
eously:
There is no nourishment in
sending American loans to European
industrial concerns and combinations
to help them fight us for markets.
