Sponsors of the flight, comment,

from the plane yesterday, said they
felt the matter should not be taken
too seriously, that the flyers

here when you get back" Admiral Will
liams replied.
The allies were eager to present
united front. They were insistent that
Admiral Williams join them. When
he showed his determination to remain
behind they asked what the Americans
proposed to do in the way of avenging
the Marking insult.
The old gentleman, clear-thinklng,
hard-fghting sailor with a quaint
sense of humor and happy knack OF
illustrating each point of decision or
statement with an anecdote, replied:
I'VE are going to give the Chinese
the feather treatment"
The others. by the expressions on
their faces, didn't understand.
Did you ever hear" the admiral con-
tinued, "of the old medical college pro-
lessor and great physician who swal-
lowed his teeth?
He was choking to death and the
members of his family were frantic.
They lived in a suburb and an expert
enced physician was not available. FL
nally, in desperation, the daughter OF
the professor recalled that a young man
who had just been graduated and who
had been a pupil of the professor had
opened an Office around the corner. She
rushed around and found the young
physician waiting for his first patient.
He hurried back to the professor and
was informed of the facts. He looked
at the professor. He scratched his head
for moment. Then a knowing smile
came across his features. He ordered
the daughter to remove the professors
shoes and socks. She did. He next
called for chicken feather. The young
graduate took the feather and tickled
the professor on the sole of his foot.
The professor laughed and up came the
teeth.
''How did you happen to arrive at
that peculiar method OF treatment?
the professor asked.
Don't you remember the young
man replied, that you repeatedly advised
us, when we were confronted with a
condition with which we did not know
how to cope, that to save our faces we
we're to do something-to do something
that wouldn't kill the patient, but to
do something. AS didn't know what
to do to save your life realized that
tickling your feet wouldn't kill you and
that it would be doing something's!
The allied fleet remained IN Shanghai
waters and the Marking incident was
later settled by diplomacy and without
blOodShed.
It was the feather treatment the
United States Marines used on the
Chinese-although at all times we were
prepared for more drastic measures,
and not an American was shot or rob-
bed and not a Chinese was injured or
insuIted by our men, despite the many
involved situations, many of them dam
gerous, in which we found ourselves,
particularly in Northern China, where
our forces were to be concentrated for
the greater part of our presence in
China as the seat of war moved north

Kellogg's ALL-BRAN-a
Simple Remedy for a Wide

Many a man has suddenly real
lied that he was losing out-sll be-
cause he neglected constipation too
long. This evil scourge starts with
such little things. A headache. A
listless morning. A cloudy COM
plexion.
But all the while it saps strength,
kills initiative, steals ambition. And
if allowed to continue to poison the
system, it may bring on serious
disease. Women know it Is the
deadly enemy Of youth and beauty.
Men, as ability's cruelest foe.
Don't let it ever prey on you.
Guard against it. You can-with .
delicious cereal. Kellogg's
ALL-BRAN is guaranteed to pre-
vent constipation-to promptly re-
lieve it. Just eat two tablespoon
fuls daily - chronic cases, with
every meal.
ALL-BRAN is 1909 bran. Doc
