(NEA Service Writer)

Washington, March 5.-Things con-
tinue to be brought about rather than
merely allowed to happen Especially
important things.
1t is reasonably certain. for in
stance, that the United States and
the allies had pretty we'll agreed on
the results of the present reparations
conference before 1t began. 1t is also
impossible to imagine that British
Ambassador Esme Towards recent
statement about a new naval arn1a-
nlent conference was made without
previous careful consultation with
his government. And again, it may
be said with the most complete as
Surance that the Geneva naval con-
ference would not have flopped If
Britain ad lived up to what our
State Department considered its pri-
Vate pre-agrcement.
Similarly. it requires few wild
horses to bring one to the belief that
Mr.. Hoover offered Mr.. Borah the
attorney generalship without know
ing that Mr.. Borah wouldn't take it.
Such genuinely good ideas as that
offer don't wait to occur at the last
moment. Nor do such close -mouthed
persons as Mr.. Hoover and his retinue
permit such offers and such refusals
to be revealed unless they desire.
1t may be that Mr.. Hoover merely
meant effectively to stymie any plan
Borah might have to spend his time
in the next four years attacking the
administration for non-enforcement
OF prohibition. Borah, having refused
the job himself. is now hardly enti-
tied to crab.
Or. 1t may be that Mr. Hoover
sought to impress the drys With his
earnest determination to select an
extraordinary able and altogether
sincere dry who would make a most
vigorous effort to enforce.
At any rate. Mr.. Hoover probably
has done both. Politics is not exactly
unlike that and poor Mr.. Borah had
to choose between lifetime job as a
powerful senator and a frightfully
tough Job as Mr.. Hoover's little helper
for an uncertain tenure. The cffec: !
OF the incident was rather tough on I
wi. 0OIdu.
True story:

next floor and dashcs down the
stairs: Holy Cats!''
Bygones often become bygones at
Inauguration time. Governor Bilbo
OF Mississippi announced that he
would attend the Hoover inaugura-

:NEW PRECAUTIONS
 l: AT HOSPITAL HERE
Extra Weights Attached to Au- . tomadC Fire Doors

Y Although confident that a disaster Hike that at the Grille hospital in !. Cleveland, which took more than ssl.0 lives, could not happen here, ' officials at the New Britain General <. hospital have added exara weights s and pullies to fire doors which aoperate automatically.
 ~ Such . disaster as occurred in ..Dr. Criie's hospital by the explosion ~of X-ray films cannot occur in the eNew Britain General hospital as our +X-ray hlms with the exception of
 those in actual use, are stored in g
 building that is not connected with
 the hospital, and the films that arc
 in actual use are kept in steel
 cabinet made expressly for storing
 N-ray films," Superintendent Reeks
 said today.
 All new or unexposed films are
 kept in . lead-lined box which is
 not only fire proof but prevents
 X-rays from running new films. "Concedtng the possibility of . -fire occurring in or nearby the -viewing room, where the films in
 daily use are kept. and of the films .becomins ignited. the quantity is so @small that the menace of fire and -the resulting fumes would be almost negligible SO far as our patients are @concerned. Furthermore. the X-ray .department is located on the first SAoor of the old brick building. on swhich there are no patients.
 ssa The steel cylinders Of oxygen,
 hd all inhammable gases are kept st~ . room adjoining the surgery, Skhich is some distance from the aE-ray department
 For the benefit of the public ~wish to state That our hospital Is sinspected from cellar to attic by the -hre underwriters who pay particu- Jar attention to the methods of stor- -ing X-ray films, gases. paint. and ~other inhammable material. These
 Inspections are welcomed by the Hospital administration and any accommodation they may make is rpromptly carried out"

Papette. Tahiti. May 1T @ - After more than 20 years, white residents of the Society islands still fnd it nsceBsry to explain to tour ists how the title of shoe eaters" was acquired by the natives of ] Reao i.lands.
 Many years ago sailing ship broke up on the reefs of Reao. the
 most easterly atoll of the Paumotu group. In the flotsam which drifted ashore was large case of rubber overshoes. AS the rubber had the appearance and texture of ''pahua."
 . shellfish that is the favorite diet in Reao, but calls for teeth like dinosaurs and a digestion like cave bears, the natives decided 1t , was some sea food of the white man. Fires were built, cauldrons filled with sea water and the rubber shoes thrown in. They were boiled for three days, and laid a2on the coral
 beach to sec if the tropical sun
 would make them fit to eat. Then . schooner from Papeete
 arrived, and the joke spread throughout Polynesia.

 ''Of course" Dr. Grant said, 'the catastrophe was something new. something which never hap- pened before and may never happen again. and 1t was impossible to postulate proper preventive meas ures.

State Of Georgia to Permit
Texas Fruit For First
Time IN Many Years

HARLINGEN. Nov. Ia new
market for Valley grapefruit has
been opened. with the lifting to-
day of the bar which has existed
for q few years in Georgia against
Texas grapefruit. according 70 word
received BY M. r. Ford. Valley fruit
fly inspector. This IS the first time
in several years the Valley has had
the opportunity to ship fruit TO
Georgia. Ford said. because II had
been barred on account Of citrus
canker which was found to exist
some time ago in other sections Of
the state. not in the Valley.
Since Florida is barred from
shipping citrus to Georgia, a vir-
gin territory may be found there
as a market for Valley grapefruit
The only states now barring Tex
as citrus fruit shipments are Cali
fornia, Florida and Arizona, al
largely producing their own fruit.
