London, Feb. tP'-NaNal ron ference circles today viewed with some concern the attitude of France and Italy toward the statements Of Secretary Stimson and Premier Macdonald setting forth British and American views on naval limitation views which are strillinsly near agreement.
 It was open to question. in Gcn- ral opinion, whether inc two state ments of national aims advanced the procedure toward merging of the naval needs of the five powers into a compact satisfactory agreement or endangered final adjudication Of differences with the two Mcditer- ruucan powers.
 Italy, through Dino Grandi, for rign minister and delegation head, automatically expressed satisfaction with the British and American pro- nouncements on the ground that they hastencd the conference work by getting down to figures.

cold, you argue, has nothing to do with
exposure to cold. Well. carbolic acid is
not an acid, 1t Is an alcohol or some
thing like that. So you must never
again refer to phenoI as "carbolic acid"
II you want people to adopt and use
your term "cri."
I haven't presented the chemists ar
gument very well, but that was the gist
OF 1t, and I Squirmed around for a
while and could not think up q good
retort, so I printed a reply, conceding
the logic and fairness of his position
and acknowledging that phenol was the
proper term and that we should not call
1t carbolic acid. Oh, when I'm wrong
and caught in a bad corner I'm willing
to make some concession in order to
crawl out of 1t.
But now that we're all clear want
to reconsider. was just a mite hasty
in trucking to my chemist friend. /
should have known better, but you must
remember this chemist threw a mean
argument and suppose he dazed me.
Anyway carbolic acid Is an acid and I
do hope that ornery chemist will see
this and grasp the fact Carbolic acid
meets numerous tests Of an acid-but
walt minute, now. Before we come to
blows let me ask my chemist friend,
or any reader who considers himself
good at chemistry, just what is an acid?
Whadayamean acid? Define an acid,
so we'll know what we're talking about.
reckon thatll set the chemists quar-
reling among themselves. 1t is the re-
joinder should have made to my chem
list critic in the first place. Just found
that out, in casual talk with my chem
istry teacher and friend. He limited
that my handling of the chemists crit
icism about phenol had panied him, but
at the same time he laughed as though
To say, "Of course, you can't know
everything" Then my teacher reeled
of lot OF tests of an acid which car
bolic acid fulfills and he said there was
just one characteristic of organic acids
in general that it doesn't have the car
boXyl group. This sounds terrible,
know, but I'm trying to give the gist of
the professors remarks.
So, even If We designate 1t phenol in
scientific literature, carbolic acid is an
acid and hereafter I'm going to call 1t
carbolic acid whenever / refer to it in
this column, as have nothing to con-
ceal or fear and least of all the at

me right about it. I may not know my

Length of New. Spring Goats
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Spring coats long enough to cover their
longer dresses, and they are having no
difficulty in finding them. This Spring
many women are faced with the ques-
ton of buying a suit or a coat-and
those who have decided in favor OF the
suit are already plotting with their
dress budget to see how they can pos
sibly buy full-length coat as well.
Last Springs coat-that you hoped
would do for another Season-haS
turned out to be outrageously short.
You have either had to pass it on to the
rummage sale or have put 1t in the
downstairs coat closet to use as an
emergency wrap for motoring and pic
nicking. 1t may do for that, but for
street wear when you want to look well
dressed you would, dare say, rather
shiver along without a coat than to
wear one that looks so out OF date as
most last Spring coats do at present.
The new silk scarfs are long oblongs
that can be wrapped about the neck
and knotted or worn Ascot fashion.
This weeks circular shows how to make
one of these new long Scarfs from a
square scarf or a square of material
