The Once Over
EXTRA! FULL TEXT OF HOSE SECRET
TREATIES.
Copyright. 1890. by The Associated Newspapers)
BY FL I. PHILLIPS

Dablyn GRIMES, the great detective, has cleared up
the matter Of the so-called secret naval treaties
about which the Senate has been making such q fuss.
Dablyn, through q most original ruse, was able 10
get into the White House and get possession Of all
the documents. He merely knocked on the door and
told Mr.. Hoover he was a Huston remover.
The documents follow:
No. 387l-D.
From Ambassador Dawes to the British Ambassador
at washington)
MORT: Left umbrella at Buckingham Palace after
call on the King and Queen. Is it etiquette to send
for it2 /. MARIAN.
TTmhrella A. clearly q code word. as II Is a we'll
known fact that the Ambassador does not carry an
umbrella, although he is often seen smoking a malac-
ca cane. What then does the word umbrella stand
for? Some pledge by Uncle Sam to use only reprinted
cannon balls? A confidential promise from President
Hoover to use cupboard motors on all his f~irst-class
battleships? Who can say?
No. s749-F.
From Ramsay Macdonald to Secretary stimson)
STIMMIE: Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed
visit. Hope you may run over again soon. How's the
parrot? r. M.
"Stimmie" may be a code word. although 1t is prob
ably lust a pet name for Mr.. Stimson. Thanks very
much" for whatP What has Secretary Stimson done
to make the British Premier SO grateful? Why does
he hope he will run over again soon? What's the
hurry? 1t is clear as the nose on your face that the
two are cooking up something. And what about the
phrase, "How's the parot?" Mr.. Stimson has a par
rot, and a good one. but Is any United States senator
foolish enough to believe that the head Of the Brit
ish Government cares how 1t is? No! Very well, then.
No. 362T6-K.
(From Queen Mary to President Hoover)
HERB: Toodle-oo. Jasmine and honeysuckle.
Trafalgar Square. Confirm grocery order. Cheerio.
MARY.
This. in the opinion Of most Senators, Is the most
significant document nearthed. Does any one sup
pose Queen Mary is discussing botany with the Presi-
dent Of the United States2 or course not. Jasmine"
and "Honeysuckle" are code names, probably for two
super dreadnaughts. Trafalgar Square" Is a refer
ence to Admiral Nelson. And what does Queen Mary
mean by the cryptic phrase. Confirm grocery orderP'
solve that and you will have a f~irst-class naval scan
dial.

HOLLYWOOD, April (N.A.N.A).-
Songs are as carefully guarded in Hol-
lywood as are box-ofice receipts.
Secrecy is imperative when gelatin
story is being made, and the songs
break at the preview, not before. No
matter how much persuasion is brought
to bear on Tinpan Alleyite, he never
divulges the latest, even at a party OF
intimateS.
Sometimes the very walls have ears
and a marvellous initiative faculty.
Harry Carey yesterday exploded the
theory of the Valentino ghost. After
a year in African wilds, Carey, leading
man of the Trader Horn" picture, re-
turned to the colony and took over
Falcon Lair, home of the worlds great
est lover.
It had lain abandoned since the day
Of Valentines death, save for one brief
tenancy. Shortly after the actor passed
away it was the source of fearSonne
stories. NeighborS saw weird blue
flashes; the ghost of Valentino walked.
Perhaps the gentle with the checked
suit brought over an extra strong va
riety. But. anyway, neighbors saw
ghosts, heard rappings and caught weird
blush lights.
A lady reporter once spent an awe
some night alone at Falcons Lair. At
least it was an awesome story that came
forth. Now comes the disillusioning
news that Harry Carey has found q
hidden electrical equipment installed by
the once tenant, a spiritualist. It was

Mr.. Hoover has said that mo man contributed

Prohibition BOthersOme
Question in Hawaii

Efforts of "wetS" in Hawaii to raise
the prohibition issue in the political
campaigns in Honolulu this year thus
far have met little encouragement. Pre-
cinct club elections, preparatory to the
territorial platform convention, were
held recently by the Republicans of the
Territory, and advocates of a "wet
plank" were severely snubbed. They
received treatment worse than indig-
nant opposition-they either met with
derision or were ignored. Leading Re-
publicans believe that as Hawaii is a
Territory, with no vote on an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution, 1t Is
merely silly to get into a scrap over
prohibition If prohibition Is adopted
for the States, 1t goes for Hawaii; II
the Federal Constitution is amended,
the amendment extends to Hawaii. Ha-
wall has neither Senator nor Repre-
sentative in Congress; only a Delegate
without vote on the floor. Hence Ha-
wall should not get mixed up in q
political row over prohibition. This po-
Sition, expressed at a number of pre-
cinct club meetings, makes it unlikely
that the ''wets" win get very far with
their efforts TO make a territorial issue

yen, an eccentric executive, with ideas
peculiarly his own, had impressed upon
his administration policy of discreet
aleefneSS toward and non-co- operation
with the United States. Although he
could not very well adopt an attitude OF
open opposition toward the great
colossus of the North" he neglected nc
opportunity to show his lack of SYM
pathy for Uncle Sam. He had encour-
aged the campaign Of the Argentine
press against the American tariffs and
the supposedly American economic i'm
perialism in the Caribbean zone he had
predicted menacing retaliatiens against
tho former; he had delayed until the
last minute his official invitation to
President-elect Hoover at the time OF
the latter'S South American goodwill
tour, and he had persisted in refusing
to send delegates to any of the inter-
national conferences held in Washington
during the last two years.
And on top of all this, he left the
ambassadorial post In Washington va
leaving 1t so in spite of the criticism OF
large portion Of the Argentine press
and Argentine public opinion. When
questions Of such paramount importance
to the Southern republic as the tariff
rates were being discussed in Wash
ington the absence Of an Argentine AM
bassador was especially felt, and United
States papers frequently interpreted this
fact mistakenly as proof of lack Ct
good will, not on the part of the Argen-
tine Government but on that of the
Argentine people themselves.
Fortunately for the success of Argen-
tine-American relations, the ,Irigoyen
administration was ousted from power
three months ago, and one Of the first
act Of the new government was the
appointment of an Ambassador to the
United States. This appointment went
to Senior Malbran, person particularly
qualified to strengthen such relations
and to represent the Argentine Republic
with great success in Washington. He
Is an experienced diplomat, long in the
career, who has served his country In
some Of the most important posts of the
foreign service. He knows this country
where he has been twice already, once
as secretary of legation and once as
chief Of mission, and this circumstance
alone would enable him to attain sue
cess in his present mission. He knows
and understands Americans far better
than Senior Irigoyen did.
It Is on account Of all this and In
view of the fact that the presence OF
ar Argentine Ambassador in this coun-
try opens new era in Argentine
American relations that his arrival In
Washington has been hailed so cor
daily.
