true today as when Washington
wrote that Europe has a set of
primary interests which to us have
none or very remote relation" We
have set of primary interests all
our own, some of which unfortun-
ately greatly concern Europe, and
which Europe deeply resents.
Joining a court, partly political
in character, would be the most
likely course to intensity that re-
sentiment.
The so-called World Court fails
because it is not a world court or
court at all. 1t was deliberately
made part of the League of Ma
lions, and extraneous political
groups control its destinies. Throu-
gh advisory opinions, it responds
to the dictation of Old World dip
lomats and negatives its presumed
judicial character. Its advocates
in this country are the League of
Nation enthusiasts. 1t was Nj.
Root and Mr.. Hoover, with others,
who in 1920 told the American
people in substance to vote for Mr..
Harding as means of having AM
erica join the League. They were
wrong then; but if they have since
recanted their opinion of the Lea
que and their desire to have the
United States a part of it, the
American people have not been
taken into their confidence. The
present Secretary of State enter
tanned the same view. He now
advises most strongly that we
join the court. In our diplomacy
we have a fatal facility for backing
| the wrong horse; and our recent
experiences with Brazil and in
other directions might at least
teach us to be wary of official dip
lomatie advice.
Washington's Policy Urged.

nomers. Not the least of these
Is the League Court. In the sacred

policy, we have reached our pres

Recognized as Standard for Unofficial Formulas
 Limit Narcotics to Medicinal Requirements

which is in session here. The re- cipe book referred to is product of committee of twenty-six mem- bers of the association, and is rec ognized as a standard for unofficial formulas.
 Participation by the American Pharmaceutical association in the effort to limit the use of narcotic drugs to strictly medicinal require ments was another outstanding &C., tivity mentioned by pr Eberle.
 He also referred to coming meet ings of the International Pharma- ceutical Federation, scheduled to be held at Prague in 1892. and possibly in or near Chicago in 1898.
 The celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Japanese Phar- maceutical society on April 18th last, was commented upon in the report, as was also the fortieth an- niversary celebration of the Ger man Pharmaceutical society.
 The recent celebration partici- pated in by scientists of five coun- tries, who assembled in Shaw's garden in St Louis last fall, to eel ebrate the three hundredth anni- versary of the first authentic rec ord of the use of cinchona bark was mentioned by Dr Eberle as an event of outstanding historic significance. Cinchona bark Is the source of quinine, and the com- pounds of quinine. The countries represented were Java, Holland Germany, Scotland and the United States. An exhibition of cinchona bark and its derivatives was a part of the program. This exhibit in- cluded among other displays. the method of gathering the bark and the instruments used. the quaint old saddle bags of Dr John Sap pington, the Missouri practitioner whose fever pills first introduced the value of cinchona bark to the inhabitants of the Missouri valley. Prominent pharmacists and chem- ists read scientific papers bearing on the derivatives of cinchona bark, and honor was paid to the French pharmacists. Caventou and Pelletier, who first separated quin- inc from cinchona bark.
 Dr Eberle also reported that four state pharmaceutical associa- . tions-Indiana. Massachusetts,, Ne brska and Virginia-had celebrat- ed their fiftieth anniversaries this year.

 The young Hindu. who learned aviation at Boston airport and once planned q trans-Pacific flight, confessed, authorities said. to hay Ing made four border rum-running trips, for each of which he re- ceived $150. His plane. which his father bought for him at cost of $2.300. was confiscated.
 The elder Coomaraswamy en- deavored to quiet his sons rest less spirit by setting him up on a North Craftsbury farm. IL was learned, but, as on other occasions in other places. the chance for fur- ther adventure arose. The young Hindu had brought his plane along intending to "barnstorm" through Vermont when things on the farm were static, and bootleggers in- duced him to utilize the plane in a more lucrative and perhaps more exciting way.
 Coomaraswamy's father once sent him to Switzerland for edu- cational purposes. but the youth found mountain climbing more fascinating than his classes.
 The father thought the less TO- mantle atmosphere of big city life might temper his sons enthusiasm. so he brought him to Boston, ana arranged for him to enter a lead ing college.
 But nearby Boston airport har- bored attractions more to Coom- araswamy's liking. and he started on an aviation career.

SURVIVORS OF
 DESERT TRAGEDY TELL THE STORY
BY BEN AVERY /IvnItcd prcss Satin COrrCSDOndCnt)

Sonoita. Son, Mex. July 31- (UP)-While four bodies. includ- ing those of a 16-year old mother and her baby, lay in the desert sands 200 miles west of here, three survivors. half-crazed by five days of wandering across burning wastes, told to-day how they faced the tragic situation Thomas A. Edi- son once imagined.
 A desert -faring stage left Mo- gales, Con. July 20. bound for Mex icali with five passengers, the own CT and his son. Of these seven peo- pie, three, Vincente Gutierrez, the stage owner: his son, Vincente, Jr. IS, and Juan Ojeda. husband of the girl-mother who died in the desert with her baby, returned to civili- zation.
 The others, Mrs Rufina M. Ojeda and her seven weeks old daughter, Consuela; Jesus and Ramon Oran- tes, were buried in shallow graves along the roadside, victims of heat and starvation.
 Vincente Tuteirrez. son of the stage owner. gave real life an- swer to Edison's famous question as to what members of q similar. but imaginary. group. should do.
 Sometime last Tuesday the stage broke down. We were far out in the desert. We had but little water and no food.
 "I thought I could fix the stage but couldn't. It must have been 13O degrees of temperature. "We walked for three days and 1t seemed like the air was burning our skin. The sand was so hot we would lift our feet to cool them of by holding them in the air. AL ready were were tired of living, and walking. We were terribly thirsty.
 Then the little baby died. Sem ora Ojeda would not let us bury 1t. She carried 1t to her breast and tried to keep walking and would not let anyone touch it. At last she gave up and fell at the side of the road.
 "she did not drop her baby and I think she was not dead. But she would not move. We could not bury her because of dizziness that made us stagger.
 "The Oranges brothers. Jesus and Ramon. died the next day They just sat down beside the road and fell over on their faces. We could not bury them too. My father and I and Jesu, Ojeda, we walked on and pretty soon we don't remember anything I don't know what happened then I thought we had died too"

THOUSANDS ARE
 DEAD IN FLOODS
 RAGING IN CHINA

Hankow, China, July 31. (UP)- Raging waters from the rising Yangtze river to-day spread death and incredible property damage
 throughout most of the rich farm ing regions of central China.
 The death toll from the most
 serious flood in the recent history of the Yangtze valley increased hourly. It mounted into the thou sands. Scores of bodies were whirl- ed off in the mad torrent. and un-
 recovered. An accurate check of the dead was impossible.
 | At least 800 persons were drowned at Wuchang. reports said. Only 50 bodies had been recovered. Other communities up and down the broad Yangtze reported ap-- paling death tols. Panic spread
 through the cities.
 The river continued to rise. Hankow was entirely under water. which was several feet deep on the Bund, along the river front. | Martial law prevailed, soldiers got about as best they could and
 sought to prevent footing. The entire Wuhan area-which
 includes the thriving industrial and trading centers of Wuchang, Hankow and Hanyang--is inun-
 dated. The river. normally about
 half 6 mile wide at Hankow. had
 swollen until the district looked like an inland sen tumultuously | running q swift time.
