Conservative ENGLAND

The laundering crash with which
England's voters crushed the Labor
party's strength in Parliament may
mean a number of things, and will
probably keep the wiseacres busy ex-
planning and analyzing for a while.
A large part of it, undoubtedly, is
simply due to the voters traditional
reaction against the party in power
when times are hard Those riots We
read about in English cities during
the weeks preceding the election
spoke of deep and abiding discon-
tent; this discomfort, expressing itself
in ballots, knocked the country's So
called Socialist government clear out
of the window.
But the most interesting thing
about it is the way in which this
discomfort expressed itself.
Usually a nation that finds the 60
ing unendurably rough speaks its
mind by calling in the radicals and
giving them chance to try out some
of their panaceas. England did just
the reverse. Instead of hauling of
and breaking up the available china
she called in the Tories. Instead o1
heading farther toward Socialism
she went completely conservative.
This, perhaps, represents something
more than just the regular vote agin
the government. 1t might not be
stretching things to say that old Eng.
land is giving the ancient, established
ruling class one more chance.
Although few man-made institu.
tions possess more stamina than thu
British empire, there is no denying
that things in England today are il
an extremely bad way. Trade ha!
fallen off, finances are alnazingl.
wobbly, unemployment remains al
unhealed wound, taxes are unbeliev'
ably high. But the English are no
yet ready to call for a new form O.
government, or a new kind of eco
nomic and social set-up.
Instead, the class that built up tn,
empire, made England the world
banker and made English merchant
and ships the worlds greatest traders
is given the reins again. If it cal
fix things, we'll and good. And i
not
Well, it is possible to find ground
for believing that the world toda
stands at one of the turning point
of history. England-if the Torie
fail-may become one of the pivot
on which the ranks of mankind tur,
to march in a new direction.

man who Is fair, fat and forty.
An eminent American authority on
diabetes has pointed out that 20 to IS
per cent Of people with this disease
are known to have been overweight
previous to the onset of the disease.
In the records of 80 American in
surance companies, covering 744,672
policy holders, it was found that
among those who were less than 10
pounds overweight, there was no in
crease in mortality rate, but that
above that figure the mortality rate
rose steadily and alarmingly. One
American insurance company which
analysed the cause of death Of $4,000
policy holders found that heart dis
ease accounted for the deaths Of 151a
per cent of those who were over
weight, compared with only 6 per
cent Of the lean. Other diseases of
the circulation caused 71s per cent of
deaths in those who were overweight,
as against per cent in the lean.
Nearly twice as many people who are
overweight die of kidney disease as
those who are underweight.

These are all far, far from
Broadway and one may pretend that
he is travelling abroad in his own
town. And make himself believe
this before morning.
It was just the other evening at
the Kretchma witch candles
flickering on dozens Of tables :.
two dancers appeared as part OF the
evenings entertainment.
DO you know who they are?" q
friend whispered. I shook my head.
"Swoboda and Jurieva-! OF
course you wouldn't know them. You
hang around Broadway too much!"
My friend fumed indignantly at
my ignorance.
"For two years Swoboda was ballet
maestro for the Chicago Opera When
the Chauve-Souris made such a hit,
he went abroad with it. And Jurieva
was the ballerina for Pavlowa! Ugh
but you should know that who
watches only the hooters of the thea

There are stories down here IN
Second Avenue, my friend! Here you
are: two of the worlds great dance
artists in a quaint spot in Fourteenth
Street! Where is your Broadway"
I interrupted at this point. It isn't

tain requirements of my job take me

where, I explained.
There is little place for the great
ballet people now," my friend went
on. "The ballet has never played
great part in the Metropolitan Opera
productions. Ballets will come back
soon-and then you will see. From
abroad you read that Roxy is getting
many people for the near theaters
that will rise in Radio City. There
will be great ballets and great dane
ers. There are many, many to be
found about New York. Up town at
the Russian Village you will see none
other than Gavrilov, once star Of
Diaghileff's ballet! I could tell you
of more"
But I wandered on to the smaller
places to watch the plump East Sid
ers sitting about their tables, eating
heartily and listening to their folk
songs.

CapOne an Example

SCAROASV <AAN A1NsSAssEA~
The fact that AL Capone is being
obliged to stay in Jail while his attor-
neys carry his appeal on its snail-like
progress through the higher courts
raises again a point upon which the
layman often wonders. Why isn't
that the regular procedure in all
criminal cases?
One of the weakest points of Amer
lean criminal law today Is the fact
that SO long time often intervenes
between conviction and imprison-
ment. OF appeals there is, sometimes,
almost literally no end; and while
they are being settled the convicted
man usually goes his way, en- bond, as
free as the air.
It is being handled differently in
Capones case; and it is little hard
for the ordinary citizen to understand
why that wouldn't be good course
to follow in all such cases.

generally recognized as economical,
they have the obesity problem.
Drs. D. M. Dunlap and r. M. Muir

the result of their study Of 523 cases
Of obesity among people In Scotland
They point out the fact, now gener-

is uncomfortable, and that long CON

with disturbances of circulation OF
the blood, disturbances of breathing
and disturbances of the ability OF the
person to get about.

Sounding a Tariff Alarm
(NeW York Times)

With grief and wrath the National
Association of Manufacturers wit
nesses the battering and bombarding
of the Citadel of Protection. The
forces of assault gather on all sides. !
Faithful to tradition, the association
names only the accursed foreigners
and the perfidious importers and
merchandisers here at home. IL
chooses to forget the international
bankers. Only a day or two ago Mr.
Thomas w. Lamont was wicked
enough to say that high protection.
ism is no policy for this chief creditor
nation of the world, and tariff reduc-
tion a condition precedent OF inter-
national economic recovery. Even the
orthodox have backslidden. Even
General Atterbury and Representa-
tive Smell are far from sound on the
goose. But the association does well
to stick to the old formula and to
take no notice of TRAITORS" in the
camp.
There must be no general revision
of the tariff by congress. This doc
trine applies not only to the con-
gress that is to meet In December.
but to congress as a body. Special
revision by special body. See how
beautifully the Tariff Commission
works. The art of flexibility usually
consists in jacking rates up, putting
them down but seldom and on ar
ticles Of small account. In affecting
language the association, through its
tariff committee, cries for
prompt administrative adjust
ments of tariff rates as the only
practical means to a proper
maintenance Of a necessary
equality Of competition, such ad-
justment to be developed through
the machinery of q nonpartlsan
economic body effectuated by ex-
ecutive authority.
These are large and lovely words,
but why does the association dis
trust congress? The last congress
and the present tariff were not un-
equal to the task Of putting heavy
duties on articles in which there was
little or no competition to "equal-
ize." But the association knows
what it wants and Is entitled to It,,
If it can get it; and 1t IS pleasant to
think Of a nonpartisan economic body
charged with the duty Of fostering
and preserving the protective tariff
system" That system is as dear to
the association as "the blood-born,
battle-stained greenback" was to
Dick Oglesby. One trembles to
think that since in the last two years
the saint has not produced the prom
ised and customary miracle, all too
many Republican worshipers are
eager to smash the object Of their
long alteration.
The more need for rally Of the
orthodox. The association is going
to "enunciate" the divine dogma,
proclaim it through all the channels
of publicity, sell" it to too-forget-
full and ungrateful nation. It was
time. Where are the sleepless watch
men Of other years? What sudden
dumbness has fallen upon the great
twin brethren, the Home Market Club
and the Protective Tariff League? Dc
they snore at their posts while i'm
porters and merchandisers and COM

how many other forces of evil are
