forts of the European powers to act in unison may be taken as a gauge. Japan need not falter at the threat of European united front.
 Germany Indifferent at First
 Germany remained indifferent to Japan's expanded exports of silk, porcelain and rubber goods, partic- ularly since those products were being shipped to remote areas in which German trade is disirterest- ed. The Germans grew restless, however, when Japanese artificial silk began to flood foreign markets. Then the wave of Japanese com merce rolled uncomfortably near the German frontier as Japanese made bicycles and iron pipes ap- pearcd in Holland.
 Within the past few years, Ja- pan has created q light bulb in-. dustry which. measured by energy units of their products, equals that which Germany built up over many decades.
 Low Sales Price
 Despite remarkable technical im- provements, German bulbs are be- ing sold at half theif pre-war prices. And yet Japanese electric bulbs are being offered in. Europe at prices 20 to 25 per cent below German -otail figures and at rates which, according to German man. ufacturers, are below German production costs. The Germans assert that children employed in Japanese electric light bulb fac- tories are paid wages as small as 2 1-2 gold cents day. t
 The October 1 increase of the German tariff on electric lamps Is designed to spare fellow-members of the cartel notably the United States and Holland. but to stem the tide of Japanese products.

TB In common parance means tuberculosis, but actually the symbol was primarily used by physicians to signify tubercle baccilli-the old time doctor could tell & colleague in the pres ence of the patient family that he had found brevation for tuberculosis. if an obbreviation must be used. is tbc. But the use of an abbre- viation when you refer to tuberculosis Is too quaint that education has removed the stigma of tuberculosis.
 CVD in medical parlance means heart and artery disease or degenration. In the past few decades CVD has accounted for more deaths than has tuberculosis which was formerly champion on the lists. We believe this Is due to the enlightenment of the public concerning the nature, cause and prevention and cure of tuberculosis. Meanwhile the public has not learned much about the nature or prevention of CvD The public is not likely to learn much about 1t. This is rather a matter of individual hygiene or personal health.
 Degeneration--well. that's the fate in store for every man and woman who survives middle age, whatever ago you elect that to be. In old age we all degenerate. Some of us get started earlier than others in the degeneration busi- ness.
 Of course. you old as your arterics-or as old as your ,ungs or your muscles. Do not fall into the error of assuming that because the arteries arc hard and brittle in old age that Is why old age comes. It would be as sensible to think that gray hair brings on old age.
 As explained in an earlier talk. CVD (cardo- vascular disease or degcneration) comprises not only arterosclcrosls or hardening of the arteries but also many cases of myocarditis gina pectoris, apoplexy tceberal hemorrhage, stroke shock Of paraysis) and chronic ne- phrtis tBrghts' discascJ, as well as vague general breakdown" or physical decay in which the degcnerative process is not partlcu- larly marked in any of these special manifes- tations
 In my opinion, "rcJuvenation,' as 1t has been sold to the public Of late years. Is sheer quack- cry. However do believe that men and wom- en in the incipient stage of CVD. that is when they are just bit stale" and before they are quite broken down and compelled to seek med icaI care, can come back through a reasonable application of the sound principles of physiol. ogy and hygiene. know of no nostrum which will restore youth anything like 1t.

 Too much stress las been placed upon the excessive eating of meat as a factor of CVD. The theory on which this conception was based that annual protein more readily putrefcs in the aImentary canal and the products of put reflection are absorbed and produce "autointox- ication"-has been exploded. Have some meat and don't worry about your arteries

try is not ready to abandon its railroads. We believe that it is our duty to do that which represents the greatest promise of preserving in operation the efficient railroad mileage of the country. General reduction in rates would tend to defeat that end" The Interstate Commerce Commission has long been celebrated for dispassionate analysis and freedom from influence of any kind. It deals with facts, not wild suppositions. This decision should take the wind ou of the sails of those who charge the railroads with generally extortionate rate levels.

Washington-All's quiet along the Potomac, and the government at Washington still lives.
 It still lives despite the Khaki Shirts.
 The urge to write something funny about the invasion of the Khaki Shirts is almost irresistible. But to think back to the A con. fused, bewildered, imposed-upon young men who were halted at the district line by nearly twice their number of police and more than half their number of reporters, gives one q sense of melancholy. They didn't have even khaki shirts, most of them.
 "Thc Boys" Are Detained
 "Can we do anything for you boys?" asked urbane Inspector Burke.
 "Well-ah--we was expecting to meet lot of the boys here ." began Gen" George Charles Zirk- Ter. Inspector Burke patiently ex- p1ained that the Philadelphia boys wouldn't be there. for reasons best known to the Philadelphia police.
 Now l think you boys had bet ter turn around. If you come on into Washington there might be q little trouble" Burke went on, pa- tiently.
 "Well--a course we don't aim to have any trouble" stammered "GcneraT Zirkler, and five min utes later the two Ford dump trucks and the three touring cars of the "revolutionists" had been turned around and were on the road back to Baltimore.
 But not before the final insult had been added. One or the trucks crashed a traffic light and the boys had 10 dig up q $4 fine. Really, you could not laugh, burlesque though the whole performance was. It was all little pathetic. Sluns Pass Out
 No. the government at Washing ton still stands, despite the Khaki Shirts. tho communists, the isms and the ologies. and the major op- eration Of the New Deal.
 The changes in physical Wash ington syInbolizes the changes in the government. Rows and blocks Of the old red-brick 18th century hbu caiiy IVtD SeDtuEy uOubtb are going down under the steam shovel and the crowbar.

 Answer-Everybody has a more or less chronic appendix until some surgeon gets 1t. If you mean your son and you have had one or more attacks of appendicitis, should say removal of the appendix is the best course. No such condition as chronic appendicitis is rec- ognized.

4 Book q Day by BRUCE CATION
Genesis Does Not
 Begin This Bible

One of the interesting moments of the fall publishing season IS provided by the appearance of ''The Short Bible," edited by Ed gar J. Goodspeed and J. M. F.. Smith.
 This book, as its preface points out, is not meant as a substitute for the Bible, but as an introduc- tion to 1t; a work which seeks to present the historical, religious, and cultural background to the various parts of the Scriptures.
 TO begin with, the new Ameri- can translation Is used. Second, the books are presented, not in their familiar sequence, but in the order in which they are believed to have been written.
 Thus the first book in the old Testament is not Genesis, but Amos. Other propheticai works, such as the books of Hosea, Mi cah and Isaiah, follow 1t; Genesis is the seventeenth book, 1t having been written, according to the preface by the editors, around $50 B. c.
 And in the New, Testament, the Pauline epistles come first, the letters to the Thessalonians being dated at about 50 A. D. Three of the four gospels and the Acts of the Apostles are in the middle of the Testament; the book of Revelations is printed ahead of the Gospel according to John, and the closing books are the letters to Timothy and Titus.
 Each book is given a preface by the editors, explaining tho probable date of its composition and setting forth it's background. The whole combination makes a tremendously interesting book. One gets from 1t an invaluable new understanding of the famil- far King James version.
 The University of Chicago Press is offering the book for $2.

Cold producers smiled, grew jubilant, when the treasury. on presidential instrue- tion began to pay the world price for gold the other day. Instead of fixed price of $20.67 per ounce, they will receive what ever the market says, and gold will rise and fall in value like other commodities. Price now is around $30 The silver men weren't slow to ask that something be done to help them. Senator Pittman.. long the :, most persistent advocate of better break for silver suggested that producers be allowed to take their silver to the mint and receive the coins made from it. This would bring the price of silver to $l.l9 per ounce, more than three times the present market price

 But no one can go among the New Deal officials for even short few weeks without being impressed by the earnestncss with which a vast amount of intelligence, of conscience, of ability are being ap- piled to the nations problems. They may fail to get all the right answers, but nobody can say they weren't in there trying.
 And, somehow, as you pass the beautiful white mansion that stands among the elms at 1900 Pennsylvania avenue, the lamp that hangs behind the graceful columns of the portico seems to shine with new beauty, to give forth a cleaner, brighter light.

 One of the by-products of the Blue Eagles activities apparently is going to be Q ruling whereby machine guns no longer will be sold to gangsters.
 The code for arms manufactur- CTS includes paragraph under which the manufacturers agree not to sell machine guns to anyone ex- cept government agencies and such private corporations as maintain regularly organized police depart ments of their own.
 Here is a rule we needed for a long time. Our complacency in permitting thugs of high and low degree to possess machine guns has been little short of idiotic. Any scheme whereby possession of such weapons is restricted to those who have q right to possess them is bound to meet popular approval.

Definite benefits to the public will result from the governments program to loan communities money on self-liquidating un- dertakings. Bridges are being built, sewage disposal plants that will save contamination of rivers are to be constructed and many towns and cities are receiving better fire pro- lection through the addition of badly needed fire apparatus. Such expenditures are really the highest type of self-liquidating enter prises benefiting the greatest humber of people.
