FRANZ ANTON MESMER A History

A BIOGRAPHY which investigates
n the real contribution to medical
science of one whose name has be-
come in the popular mind the origin
of jokes and q symbol for quackery.
Mesmer, a German doctor born 200
years ago, a habitual experimenter,
was the originator in modern times of
mental therapy. His earliest methods
involved the use Of magnets placed on
the patients body. There is no doubt
whatever that MeSmer was absolutely
sincere. He firmly believed IN his own
ideas, even though he never under
stood their real significance or i'm

A JOURNEY INTO RABELAIS'S

Morrow & Co.
TRAVEL with purpose, presided
over by the spirit Of that ribald
Renaissance genius, Rabelais, gave Mr..
Mock the most discriminating pleasure,
which he transfers to his readers. His
geographical journey took him from
the birthplace Of Rabelais, at Chinon,
in Touraine, now as In the early six
teenth century, "in the great flet
belt" through Touraine and Provence
to the Islands of Hyeres to to Metz.
The mental journey includes the story
Of the rollicking life Of the country
doctor who turned author, something
of his contemporaries, among them the
historian, De Commines, and Of the
famous giants Of his creation, Gar
gantua and Pantagruel, as well as Of
the radical philosophy Of the flesh
which caused Rabelais to be unpopular
with the monastic orders.

CRITICIZED CUMMINGS.
Sharp Differences Led Malloy to Re-
Sign.

Pat Malloy's resignation as Assistant
Attorney General in charge Of the
Criminal Division of the Department OF
Justice became effective last October 4
His letter Of resignation had been in
the hands Of Attorney General Cum
mings for about a month before that,
however.
In a statement after his resignation
Malloy said a series Of sharp differences
with the Attorney General had caused
him to decide to quit the Justice De-
partment. For one thing he declared
a recommendation by him that New

Another contributing factor. he

at $50 100000.
Although the Navy Department held

indicated privately that the increased

Aircraft Carrier Asked.
To carry some of the new planes the
Navy under the VlnSon bill would have
the Ranger. an aircraft carrier now
building to replace the Langley, to add
to the carriers Lexington and Sara

The Army Air Corps expansion bill,
tn be introduced by Chairman Nc
Swain. would increase its officer per-
sonnel from 1850 to 2,450 and its en-
listed roster by about 4,500. The num-
ber Of Army planes would be nearly
doubled.
With the monetary measure cleared
from the legislative boards, efforts to
expand the Nations armed services
took on large stature at the Capitol.
The Senate today was prepared for
more debate on the St Lawrence sea
way pact, which is employed by leaders
to fill time when no other major
measure is available for action.
Tremendous cruising range, higher

signed for the Navy since the World

ness Is another story.
In the broadened cruising range OF
United States ships is found partial
answer to one of the naval strategy
problems-lack of naval bases except
in the remote Pacific.
The new ships have blister" hull con-
struction, double hulls with oil to take
up the conclusion of underwater ex-
piosions that ordinarily crumple plates.
In the air, the treaty Navy will both
augment its offense and defense. build
a fifth aircraft carrier to float new
swarm of planes and, on the defensive
side equip itself with anti-aircraft large
caliber and machine guns of new design
and highly improved accuracy.

BILL GIVES S185,000
|. FOR TRAINING SCHOOL
Appropriation Measure Trim.
$ll.240 From Budget Quota
for Boys Institution.

An appropriation Of sl85.000 for the
National Training School for Boys in
the District Of Columbia is carried in
the Justice Department section of the
appropriation bill reported to the
House today.
This is decrease Of sl1 ,240 from the
figure recommended by the Budget
Bureau. and is s33 900 less than the
appropriation for the current fiscal
year In reporting the bill to the
House, Representative Oliver of Ala
bama pointed out that the per capita
cost at this reformatory amounts to
more than 1925 per day per boy. There
has been a steadily decreasing popula-
ton, he said. due in q large part to the
policy of the Bureau of Prisons in en-
couraging the States to care for de-
linquent juveniles rather than having
them become charges of the Federal
Government.
IF the personnel planned for the
fiscal year beginning July l next, as
provided IN the budget estimates, were
allowed 1t would result in there being
one employe for every three boys" Mr..
Oliver emphasized. Some of the pres
ent and projected personnel, in the
opinion of the committee, can be dis
penSed with and the reductions made in
appropriations should bring about this
result.

Previously the naval minister had re-
iterated Japan's determination to de-
mand increased ratios at the next con-
ference of naval powers. although he
declined to indicate the extent of the
japanese demands.
He likewise declined to state whether
Japan would denounce the Washing

provisions.
Instead, be told his questioners:

Comparison Of Strength.
Osumi's statistics on naval strength
at the end of 1886 showed the following
naval power of Japan in comparison to
that of the United States:
Total navy. including over-age ton
mage. 68 per cent.
Total navy, excluding over-age ton
mage. 81 per cent.
Total auxiliarieS (cruisers. destroyers.
submarines), including over-age, 78 per
cent
Total auxiliaries. excluding over-age,
103 per cent.
The total under-age auxiliary ton
mage figures themselves, as given by
Osumi, showed the following COM
pariSon:
Japan. United States.
Vessels. Tons Vessels. Tons.
14O 364,0OO 100 $4,000
At the time specified by the naval
minister, Japan's entire auxiliary feet
will be under the treaty age and within
2,791 tons of the treaty limits.
Over-Age Tonnage Excluded.
Including the over-age tonnage. the
japanese ratios to the United States
Navy will be as follows, Osumi indi-
Gated:
Capital ships. go per cent
Aircraft carriers. so per cent.
Heavy cruisers, II per cent.
Light cruisers, SO per cent.
Destroyers, 70 per cent.
Submarines. 100 per cent.
Excluding the over-age tonnage, the
ratio would be as follows:
Capital ships, 81 per cent.
Aircraft carriers. IS per cent.
Heavy cruisers, II per cent.
Light cruisers. SO per cent.
Destroyers, 156 per cent.
Submarines. l62 per cent.
The Japanese superiority as predicted
by Osumi was thus shown as most defi-
nitely marked in the categories OF de-
stroyers and submarines.
