Washington. Sept. l4.-(F)-As the
result Of virtual agreement between
America and Great Britain upon the
fundamental principles Of equality In
cruiser strength. a general naval dis.
armament conference Is in prospect
for carly December.
So successful have been the ncgo.

Japan, France and italy as well as

now definitely proposed.
Assuming the conference will take
place. the United States intends to
ask the present 10 year holiday In
the construction Of capital ships be
extended from 1891 to 1886. BY 1885
1t Is expected that the way will be
open to further curtailment OF battle.
ship tonnage leading possibly to the
elimination of this type Of vessel rs
fighting unit. The proposal prcsllp-
poses the calling OF another confer.
encc In 1886.
Differ On One Point
As officially outlined here. but .
single difference Of opinion now
stands In the way Of q complete
Anglo American accord upon the
problem OF cruiser parity This con.
Germs some $4,000 tons Of cruiser
strength and the question OF whether
or not they shall be embodied In three
vessels carrying eight -inch guns, OF
the proposition favored by the Brit.
ish that this tonnage comprise four
or five smaller vessels with six inch
guns.
In this question is involved the
fundamental difference in the naval
requirements Of the two nations that
long has stood IN the way Of All
agreement on cruiser parity and gen
eral disarmament
It is understood that no attempt
will be made to reach an agreement
the December conference.
More Cruisers for Y. 5.
In the course Of the recent ncgoti-
ations, Great Britain has reduced her
estimated cruiser tonnage require
ments from the 450,OOO figure which
she set as minimum at the tripartit
conference OF 1927. to $4,000. It IS
understood that the United States Is
to have larger number Of l0.000-ton
cruisers, possibly 10, In addition to 10
Of $500 tons and the $4,000 tons upon
which an agreement has not vet been
reached. Thus America would have
q gross cruiser tonnage Of 2SS.000 rs
compared with Great Britains

Here. it is explained. the Hoover
idea Of the yard stick" enters into
| the proposition and under its appli-
cation. the two nations will have
Theoretically equivalent fighting
strength. The "yard-stick" takes into
consideration not only tonnage, but
the age, speed. arms and armament
Of individual vessels.
The extension Of the capital ship

Seam of Burning Coal
Keeps Mountain Warm

A unique Australian phenomenon Is
the Burning Mountain" at Wingen In
northern New South Wales, which
scientists say has been on fire 1000
years. ...
According to party of biologists,
who have just returned from an ex-
ploration Of the mountain, says an
Associated Press dispatch from Sgd
ney, there lies below the surface a
burning coal seam. Long before Eu-
ropean settlement in Australia Burn
ing Mountain" was known to the
aborigines, and to them it owes Its
name. Wingen, signifying fire"
The biologists report that the sum
NIT presents the appearance Of the
debris of vast block of buildings
consumed by fire with an explosion or
two thrown in. Smoke and steam
continuously are issuing from differ
emf points, and there are numerous
depLsits of alum and sulphur.
The burning seam probably is 30
feet or more in thickness, say the
biologists, and is being consumed at
the rate of from 100 to 100 yards each
century. The warmth of the noun
tain In winter time attracts cattle,
horses, and wild animals.

Hard to Picture Orient
Without the Date Tree

For untold ages the date has been
staple article of diet in the Orient.
1t is said that a half-pound of dates
and a half-pint of milk make suffi-
clent meal for a person of sedentary
habits. The date needs milk to round
out its food balance. An intensely hot
climate and plenty of water are neces-
sary for the production of dates. AS
an old Arabian saying goes: "a date
palm must have its head in fire and
its feet in water" Some believe that
when Adam and Eve lived in the Gar
den Of Eden, they subsisted very large
~ uINn the date. In fact, that part
of Mesopotamia which produces to this
day the best dates is regarded as the
probable site of the Garden Of Eden.
Archeologists, in making excavations
in this region, have uncovered ruins
thousands of years old, among which
have been found broken sculptures OF
the date palm, together with refer
ences to the use of its fruit as food.
According to an old, old Arabian story,
after God had created Adam, some Of
the soil chung to His hands and He
nodded it into a date palm. The
leaves we're set in a feathery crown
at the top the same as He created
man. So it is only natural that the
palm should be as nearly perfect
tree as Adam was a human being.

All Humanity Put on
Level by Seasickness

1t is refreshing to discover that, aft
er oil, the great and alleged-great are
not unlike ourselves. One Of the best
places In the world to find this out is
on board an ocean-going liner. We
once saw a famous surgeon, whose
skill in the attack of disease brought
relief to thousands, fold up like a
sack, in a heavy sea. The roll and
pitch of the ship was more than his
science could fathom.
On another trip was celebrated
woman athlete. Her name is familiar
in midocean. The young lady was sit
ting in the ships foyer by the side of
a woman companion. The great liner
was rolling as 1t plowed its way
through the resisting sea. Slowly the
lady began to show signs of seasick-
ness. She turned pale and her chin
sank low on her bosom. Then the
craft suddenly pitched forward and
the young woman nearly fell from her
chair. Several times she vainly at
tempted to reach the bracing air Of
the promenade deck. 1t was few
feet away, but inches spelled miles to
her. Another lurch and the athlete
was propelled to the staircase that led
to the corridor in which her cabin was
situated.
A few weeks later her name was on
page one Of the newspapers. Her
prowess at her particular game was
flashed around the world. It is COM
forting to know that the celebrated
are not superhuman. - Washington
