LONDON, March 6.-Statemen
by Secretary Henry L. StimSol
that the United States is willing
to reduce it's sea armament b!
more than 100000 tons-if TIT
fleets of the other naval power'
are reduced alSo-waS the prin'
cipal topic of discussion in nava
conference circles today.
In a surprise announcement
Col. StimSon said:
There seems to be an impress
sion that the work Of the Ameri-
can delegation at this conference
is likely to result in an increase
instead of a reduction in the ton
mage Of the navieS Of the world
The surest way to answer that is
to give such results as seem to be
within reach up to date.
"a plan which, in its essentials,
appears to be acceptable to Amer
lea and Great Britain provides
for net reduction in tonnage OF
the American feet, in capital
ships, cruisers, deStroyers and
submarines, built, building or ap-
propriated for, of over 100000 tons
and an even larger reduction on
the part of the British fleet.
'If the vessels authorized but not
commenced were concluded IN existing
fleets, the amount Of reduction would
be much greater. OF course, these re-
auctions being made In the fleets of the
other powers"
Seen as Hint to French.
Reaction to the statement was varied
Many were puzzled at Col Stimson's
total-200, o00-and did not see how he
reached 1t. One close conference OBJ
server said the pronunciamento was In
tended for "the home folks" and for a
hint to the returning French delegation
of Anglb-American desires to see the
French demand for 724,0 900 naval tons
leSsened.
Secretary Stimson refused to divulge
the figures which he and the American
delegation had used in arriving at Their
estimate of 100000 tons reduction, but
among the schedules current here today
there was one with the suggestion Of
authenticity which calculated the Amer
ican feet, built, building and appropri-
ated for, at 1,204, 900 tons.
This total was made up of the fol-
lowing items:
Battleships, 531, 900 tons.
Cruisers, 276,0O0 tons.
Destroyers, $685. 900 tons.
Submarines, 81, 900 tons.
Figures Under Cut.
Col. Stimson had in mind, according
to this set of figures, that If the reduc-
tons contemplated by Great Britain
and the United States materialize, the
American feet would contain:
Battleships, 463, 900 tons.
Cruisers, $4,000 tons.
Destroyers, 100000 tons.
Submarines, 10000 tons.
The total is 996, 900 tons, reduction
OF 100000 tons. Proposed scrapptng Of

BOY COMMUNIST WITH PAMPHLETS
ROUTED BY CENTRAL HIGH CADET
Literature Seized and Torn Bits Before Youthful Red'
Is Chased From Play Field.

The seeds Of revolt which q youthful
Communist attempted to SOW in the
minds Of Central High School students
took root In an unexpected manner
yesterday, causing the sower 10 leave
the field, conquered by his own product.
The youth, not pupil Of Central,
appeared at the building accompanied
by young girl and boy of 10. In his
hands were copies Of a printed denun-
citation attacking the cadets, Boy Scouts,
capitalists and every organization fight
ing Communistic teachings.
Distribution of the pamphlets lasted
but a short time as the Communist
carelessly selected q group of boys
whose views were discordant to his own.
Many Of them were cadets, all believed
communism to be the bunk"

the Communist soon left the field in an
undignified manner. His literature had
been seized and torn to bits before his
eyes. He had been threatened with the
fury of youth and had been warned
never to appear at Central again.

the girl or little boy, but that other
fellow won't come back again."
Any attempt that is being made to
introduce Communism In Central is ap-
parently failing. Students, discussing
the subject termed it "foolishneSs" and
professors declared that whenever PAM

ceive copies from pupils.

body was slumped in the front seat OF

9hoeyician Dental Art
Preserved in the Louvre

The first false teeth, as far as
known today, were worn by woman
of Sidon in Phoenicia about 300 B. c.,
according to Or. Roy l.. Noodle, OF
Santa Monica, Calf. The Phoenician
woman's jaw, with the false teeth; Is
now preserved in the Louvre, in Paris.
The two right IncisOrs are represented
by artificial teeth, held in place and
bound to each other by gold wire.
The wire has been drawn through
careful perforatiOns in the artificial
teeth. Although the Egyptians pio-
neered in treatment of many diseased
conditions Of the body, this sort OF
dental replacement apparently was
never devised by Egyptian physicians.
Thousands of mummies, representing
1000 years of life in Egypt, have
been examined, but no clear evidence of
such repair work has ever been found.
1t appears that we not only owe our
alphabet and numerous geographic
discoveries to the restless, inquiring
minds of the Phoenicians, Doctor
Noodle points out, but also we are in
debted to them for this entrance in
to prOsthetics, which is particularly
valuable field Of dentistry.

Calieorn.ans Proud Of
Mission Fathers Work

The first settlement of California Is
attributed to Father Junipero Sierra,
who founded the mission of San
Diego de AlcaIa. For the next 10
years he travelled on foot north and
south over distance Of GOO miles,
establishing and fostering missions
and preaching to the natives. Dur
ing those Is years he founded nine
missions, which were afterward ex-
banded to 90 by his successors. The
history of California began with-and
for more than half century was the
history of-these missions, OF their
founding and operations. About a
century ago, however, they began to
decline In power and influence, but
they are still regarded with reverence
by the Californians, as a part OF the
history of their state and OF Its foun'
dation. Some of these missions are
now In ruins, but others are In good
repair, and still open for service.

Disease Germs Cannot
Live in Mothers Milk

Scientists have known for some time
that babies fed on mothers milk were
protected In some mysterious fashion
from various diseases such as whoOp-
ing cough, measles, diphtheria and the
like. Now II appears that the moth
er's milk actually has the power OF
killing disease germs. DR.. Friedrich
Schlaeppi, bacteriologist at Berne.
Switzerland, has experimental with
milk from nursing mothers and found
that the milk has this bactericldal
power to very high degree. II the
milk Is kept at mean temperature
this power may be demonstrated for
sixty hours or more. Such bacteria
as get into 1t are at least very much
retarded in their development If not
actually killed. The milk is even able
to destroy bacteria which do not nor
mally occur in it. Boiled milk has
not this power. Doctor Schlaeppi has
succeeded in filtering milk, obtaining
a clear greenish liquid which CON
tanned albumin but no fat. TIE germs
naturally contained In the milk stayed
back with the fat, but the power to
kill bacteria remained in the clear fl.
trate. This was proved by adding
germs TO the fltrate, which destroyed
them.
