Tokyo, Feb, = P9--A growing feeling is apparent in naval circles here that Great Britain ought 10 try 10 prevail on the United States to acccdc to the Japanese claim for u 70 per cent cruiser ratio with America, lest the naval conference break up without q single concrete achievement.
 l. Was feared failure 10 reach an agreement would have a very bad effect on the international situation and damage British prestige as it would he regarded as showing that inc world is not yet ready for lnni- tatjon and disarmament.

Camp told him the entire matter was illegal When the mayor refused to receive a mo- ton, the meeting adjourned amid scenes Of unprecedented disorder in the common council chamber
 According 10 the mayor, Mr. Camp advised him on the following day to entertain motions, expressing doubt that Day would attempt to take Of flee and saying that ho would sug- gest that bay refrain from doing so if he was approached.
 No position Of assistant corpora ton counsel is provided for in tho pavrons and Mr. Camps nam" does not appear on any Of in" salary lists for special services. II is understood that the question of compensation is arranged between Judge hIrhham and himself.
 Mayor PaonCssa said today he has no interest in any claim that might no made in behalf of any acting cor poration counsel and that h. feels it unnecessary to single out any indi- yldual and call 10 his attention the fact that he does not fill an office which does not exist. He indicated that he will offer no protest against common council action 10 create and fill a position Of acting corporation counsel.

DISCIPLINED
" IL o.
LAST YEAR

Determined tn increase the
safety of aeronautical transporta-
tion, the Commerce Department
disciplined more than 400 airplane
pilots last year, 1t was announced
today. 49,
Licenses of 16 pilots were re-
voked, 110 suspended, and 1853
pilots reprimanded for a wide
range of offenSes against the air
commerce act. A total Of 523 al
legged violations we're investigated,
fines of $4,755 having been as
Sessed in 179 cases. Fifty-five
complaints were dismissed for lack
Of evidence.
Pilots Are Blamed
Offenses included unauthorized
acrobatics, low flying, flying with.
out navigation lights and mum.
bers, and operation Of planes by
unlicensed pilots.
In nearly so per cent Of all
accidents reported for last year
it developed that personnel was
responsible. Official figures for
the first six months attributed Ia
per cent Of the accidents to en-
gine failures, over 8 per cent to
structural failures in planes, 9
per cent to miscellaneous causes.
including weather, darkness and
airport terrain, and the re-
mainder undetermined.
From the figures it is appar-
ent there is very little mystery
as to the causes of aircraft ac-
cidents," the department said.
''These figures enable the Gov
ernment, flying schools, aircraft
operating companies. pilots and
mechanics, manufacturers and
engineers to take corrective steps.
Congress Stirred
There has been some agitation
In Congress, resulting from a
series Of airplane tragedies in
which many passengers were
killed, for changes in the air com.
merce law which would permit
public investigations and the pub.
lication of reports on aircraft
accidents. Under present regula-
tionS Investigations are conducted
informally, without public fixing
of responsibility.
Air commerce officials have
taken the attitude this system
permits a more accurate de.
termination Of the causes of acci
dents and ~ gives the Govern
ment information of greater value
in preventing repetition.

Relief from Gas
Stomach Pains
Dizziness

The doctors tell us that 80 per cent
of all sickness is due to stomach and
bowel troubles. You can't be we'll if
your digestion is bad; you are likely
to get sick unless you relish food and
digest it properly.
Tanlac has wonderful record as
relief from digestive troubles, even
those of years standing.
Local people, many of whom you
know, are highly endorsing Tanlac.
For example, Mrs. Ellen White says:
"For years / suffered from indiges.
ton. / got no relief from anything
until | took Tanlac. After my fourth
bottle, ! feel like a new person and
have fine appetite"
If you suffer from gas, pains in the
stomach or bowels, dizziness. nausea,
constipation, or torpid liver; If you
have no appetite, can't sleep and are
nervous and all run down, you need
Tanlac. 1t is good, pure medicine,
made of roots, herbs and barks. Get

Bank clearings have made a further
recession this week. the total for leading
cities in the United States, as reported
to Dun's Review, of $8.208, 958, 900 being
50.7 per cent below last years. At New
York City the amount is IS ,476, OO0, 600,
or 55.7 per cent under that of year
ago, and the aggregate at leading cen
tiers outside of New York of $2,732, $685.
900 Is 36.2 per cent smaller. The COM
parison this week covers only five busi-
ness days, banking operations being
suspended at practically all leading
cities over election day. Some increase
in November settlements should swell
bank clearings at this time, but there
is rather a small showing on this &C
count in this weeks return. Owing to
the notable activity at this time last
year, clearings now continue to make
very large declines, while the loss for
the first week Of November this year,
compared with the figures for 1928, also
Is quite large.
Clearings for the week, as reported to

NEW PAPER CURRENCY
DISSATISFlES TREASURY
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The Treasury Department is not fully
satisfied with the new paper currency
which was put into circulation July 10,
1929.
While the cost of circulating this
smaller size has been reduced approx
mately one-third as compared with the
larger-sized, old bills, the longevity of
the new specie has proved disappoint-
ing, and the Bureau of Standards is
now seeking to perfect paper that will
eliminate abrasions and permit Iaunder-
ing, as well as better withstand crum-
bling and folding.
The life Of the new bills, investigations
show, Is about nine months for the one
dollar bills, from IL to IL months for
the fives, and proportionately longer for
the higher denominations This is but
a slight improvement over the old cur
rency.
