ENGLAND NOT
ALARMED At
NAVAL PLANS
Neither American Nor Jap
anese Program Is
Causing Anxiety
By HARRY FLORY
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON. Oct. 1S.-(UP).-
Official Great Britain is not
alarmed by the United States
naval building program. Nor Is
there any undue anxiety at the
admiralty over reports that ia
pan shortly may authorize the
construction of new warshipS.
When Secretary of the Navy
Swanson placed orders for ap-
proximately 10000 tons of new
warships for the United States
navy. admiralty officials lost no
sleep, despite sensational head
lines in British newspapers.
Even without consulting the Of
fetal records they knew that att
err the completion of the present
United States program the Uni
ted States fleet still would be
far below the permissible London
treaty strength in under-age light
cruisers, destrOyerS and suOma-
rineS.
Reports that Japan would re-
ply to the United States program
by initiating new building caused
some justification. The mysti-
fication resulted from the fact
that, according to official fig
ures. the Japanese navy will be
right up to the maximum allow
able treaty strength by the end
of 1886, without building any
more ships than those already
authorized, or under construc-
ton. =.
Officialdom assumes that If
japan does initiate any new ma
val building it will consist only
of laying down the keels of cruls-
ers. destroyerS and submarines to
replace tonnage which will be-
come obsolete after the explra-
ton of the London naval treaty
on December 81, 1886. The
Londo ntreaty specifically gives
Japan that right.
British admiralty officials do
not believe for a minute that ia
pan would initiate any naval
armafents race which would vlo-
late either the letter, or the spirit
of the Washington or London ma
val treaties.
Rumors that Great Britain
would reply to the United States
building program and TO threats
of Japanese building. are dis
missed in official quarters as ridi-
culous.
Next years naval program may
include two or three light cruis-
ers to be completed by the end
of 1886, which will put Britian's
cruiser fleet absolutely level with
the London treaty maximum al
lowanee.
1t will probably include three
to five submarines, which will
bring the British submarine ton

ylleezing Made
Issue In Morals
And In Etiquette
Bv HARRY FERGUSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. IS. (UP)
Just as the nation was moving
safely out of the hay-fever season
into winters cold-in-the-head era,
the question of the proper Ell
ouette for sneezing arose last
night and split the ranks of the
distinguished scholars who have
studied the subject.
1t seems to be clear-cut fight,
winner take all, between DR.. Sew
GRANGE Burrage, professor of pub
lie health at the University Of Col
orado, on one side and the United
States government and Mrs. En-
ily Post on the other.
Burrage came out fatty in IA
vor of a good, healthy uninhibited
sneeze. He went through a pro-
cess which we Americans have
come to refer to as hurting a deli
at the namby-pamby persons who
seek to stife sneezes and yawns.
The argument runs that as an eX-
preston of your personality, there
is nothing like a leisurely SO-sec-
ond yawn which closes with con-
tented "ho hum"
Never suppress one: Not even
when the boss-just back from
his vacation-tells you for the
third time about the view from
mis- hotel window and how he and
the missus got the room for So a
day-dirt cheap, with meals in
Guided.
But there is another point that
Burrage wishes to hammer home :
"Infuenza, p u m n and
other diseases often are caused by
the contamination of food and
ptensils by food handlers whose
fingers have been placed over
their mouths to stifle a sneeze or
a yawn.' e,
Stop shuddering, Mrs. Post, and
Just tell the court in your own
words why you disagree with the
doctor. The witness testified that
sneezes and yawns must be sup
pressed at any cost or the social
fabric of the nation will collapse.
The consensus of the etiquette ex-
perts seems to be that a yawn or
a sneeze is only one degree re-
moved from the gravest of all So
cial errors-eating peas with a
knife.
To the support of the etiquette
experts rushes the United States
Public Health Service with a
charming little essay on how in
fluenza germs leap from yawn to
yawn and from sneeze to sneeze.
The author writes lyrically:
"True, l am only one voice, but
lift up that voice like foghorn
on misty morning to protest
against the habit of tobacco clerks
who dampen their fingers on their
tongues and then serve a harm
less customer with a package of
cigarettes"
But the Public Health Service
goes even further. Not only does
it want to suppress sneezes and
yawns, but it wants to do some
thing about kissing, too.
"The Chinese CUSTOM" the es-
say continues, "of bowling and
shaking ones own hand is far
more desirable from a sanitary
standpoint"
Begging your pardon, United
States Public Health Service, but
the comment that comes readiest
to mind is:
"Ker-choow

Alabama State
Officials Fight
Against Pay Cut
Plan Court Contest on
Constitutional Slash
of Salaries

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. Is.
CUPl.-Balking at healthy slices
in their salaries, Alabama state
officials are slated to make a
court test soon of an amendment
to the State, Constitution adopted
in midsummer, giving the legisl2-
ture the right to cut salaries OF
constitutional officers.
This battle will be the climax
of a series of interesting events
since state payrolls first were cut
in 1882.
LEGISLATIVE ACT
Those opposed t o the salary
cutting amendment say that the
legislature submitted only a leg
islative act for the people to vote
on last summer in that it pro,
posed to suspend a constitutions
inhibition-which says an oHi-
ciaPs pay cannot be cut during
term of office-fOr two years
Now that this has been adopted,
no provision has been made 10
take the amendment out, foes con-
tend. and at the end of two years
will leave an imperative amend
ment. ....
Therefore, they argue, nc
amendment really was submitted
to the people for them to vote on
This is answered by the argu-
ment that the constitution is
merely a written expression OF
the celebrates will; that leglsla-
lures can submit any measure tol
them to pass on, and that on
adoption it is a part of the con
stitution.
