president HOOVER was
l. charged with being too inter
nationally minded four years ago
but no one is accusing him of it
right now. Whatever else he may
have done, or failed to do, he has
given a splendid demonstration of
how not to improve conditions at
home through development of trade
abroad.
You can't go back on the returns
There are the tables in cold black
and white, showing what we have
lost, and still are losing. Some of
the loss could not be helped, of
course, because there was no mar
ket, but what about the shift of
Russian buying from this country
to Germany, or the prospective shift
in Canadian buying from this coun-
try to England?
What about the construction Of
American plants abroad for no
other purpose than to beat the
tariff, affording employment to peo-
pie of other lands while our own
folks remain idle?
What about the lack of co-opera-
ton by which the whole European
program is being held up? What
about the sugar duty that virtually
has ruined Cuba and lost us a
splendid market?

People Won't Be Fooled

WE have heard a lot about dis
w armament and naval con-
ferences, which is all right, and a
lot more about desirability of join
ing the world court, which is true,
but what the American people want
to hear is something which promises
to improve business.
Neither are they sordid in their
souls because of this. They are
merely human.
They are being told that they
can look for the return of prosper
ity, regardless of what happens in
Europe. They are being told that
they ought to accept the Hoover
administration as wonderful, be-
cause it is not concerning itself
with what happens in Europe.
They are being told that indif-
ference toward Russia, the debt sit
uation, and trade alliances is a
sign of soundneSs and safety.
Some of them are deceived by the
balderdash Some of them actually
swallow it as patriotic, but not

realize what we are losing; re-

to work and how many mills could
be reopened if we were getting our

THE nose, like many other organs
l. of the body, is lined with tissue
called mucous membrance that Sc
cretes mucus.
Sometimes these cells overgrow
and when they do, little tumors are
formed which hang down into the
nose and interfere with breathing;
also by the obstruction they cause
they may aid in setting up infection.
Hence, it is desirable that they be
removed.
Sometimes even after they are re-
moved they come back, and since
the exact cause Of such tumors is
not known, there is nothing to do
but keep on removing them.
In general, the causes of tumors
are not known definitely. although
certain contributory factors are
recognized.

About the Operation Of the
Dial Telephone.
THE remarkable advances Of
l. electrical engineering have
paved the way for a true Machine
Age, not an age in which man ia
enslaved by the machine. but an
age in which the machine DIES its
own work by itself.
Electrical engineering has opened
the way for such an age by supply
ing man with electric eyes, electric
ears, electric noses. electric mouths,
and electric fingers.
The dial automatic telephone
represents q prophecy OF what the
new Machine Age will be like. The
old manual telephone switchboard
was a sample of the Machine Age
through which VIC are now passing.
The old switchboard demanded at
tendants constantly on rhe alert.
A light flashed upon the board.
The operator had to note the posi-
ton of the light. It was q signal
to throw a certain switch and say.
Number please"
Having repeated the number, she
then had to make the proper con-
nection by inserting a plug attached
to cord into certain socket.
The dial automatic has done away
with all that. 1t is an illuminating
experience for one who has visited
the old type Of telephone exchange.

DeHtOHStF0ttOB OF HOW MOI
to Improve Conditions at
Home Through Trade De-
veIopment Abroad.
ATEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-The adj
IN ministration at Washington
could have done more to help busi-
ness in the field of foreign trade
than anywhere else. Strangely
enough, that the field in which it
seems to have e least, if effort
is to be measured by results.
At all events, We have lost more
than our share of business in some
cases, notably in that of Russia.
One might excuse the administra-
ton because OF the great difficulties
involved, were it not for the con-
slant Dragging about what it has
not attempted. According to Sec
rotary of State Stimson and Secre-
tary of Treasury Mills, the admins
tration hasn't so much as mentioned
the subjects of debts to European
governments.
This is curious, in the light of that
moratorium which it proposed for
their express benefit last year. What
has caused the sudden and complete
silence?

UeIopment Abroad.

UnConCerned About Trade
ITO let administration spokesman
a tell it, one would suppose
that this country had ceased to be
interested in what happens abroad,
even to the extent of getting an
order.
There is not the slightest concern
over the slump in Russian trade,
though it must have meant unem-
ployment for thousands. Neither is
there the slightest concern over
the recent British conference,
which promises to result in the
transfer of quite a bit of our Cana
dian trade to England.
Apparently, the administration
exhausted itself in negotiating that
st. Lawrence treaty. If it had been
little more deliberate, it might
have used that treaty to good adj
vantage While the conference was
in progress.
