BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. May l8.-Bernard Shaw
Irish dramatist, returned from a 23,-
0OO-mile trip to New Zealand today
with decided views on the danger to
the British Empire Of any close hook
ing-up of Britain and Japan.
A British alliance with Japan, he
said to reporters, would drive America
into the arms of Russia which we have
already done to some extent.
Then Australia, New Zealand and
Canada would come in with the United
States-if they would have them"
Shaw discoursed on many other
matters in his customary bluff style,
declaring for one thing in at least as
sumed seriousness that another peril
to the empire" lay in the playing OF
games between its component parts
such as the coming test in cricket
matches between England and Aus
tralia
These things break up the British
Empire" he said The games induce
intense animosity and rivalry and dis
tract attention from serious things
like politics"

II it was the policy OF the British
government under the nine-poWer
treaty to allow any country to grab
any part of China it likes so long as
1t gives assurance that the open door
will be preserved"
Cites Friendly Communication.
Sir John said Great Britain had ad-
dressed friendly communication to
Japan on the subject in which I'VE
said the principle of equal rights in
China was guaranteed very explicitly
by the nine-power treaty and nat MS
malesty's government must CT course
insist upon the due observance OF the

1T was a solemn assurance by ia
pans foreign minister to his majesty
Ambassador in Toxic that Japan
would observe the nlne-poWer treaty
that the policy of the two governments
conceded, and that the maintenance
of the open door in China was SUD-

Disarmament Conference break down.
Don't let them assume it is going
to break down" said Baldwin. Don't
let US lose heart if. for the time being,
it should break down.
IF you are going to adopt sane

for war. If you are going to force
collective guarantees and collective
sanctions you have got to make this
country a good deal stronger than she
is today"
For the reinsurance Of anxious

ILL VETERANS
ESTATES WILL
Be PROTECTED
Legislative Safeguards Are
Assured by Committee
Probing Waste.

Out Of the congressional investi-
cation Of the handling OF mentally
incompetent veterans estates in In
diana viii come new legislation in
the next congress 10 tighten restric-
ton on banks as guardians.
This was assured today as the
congressional subcommittee. probing
the wasting away Of veterans
estates in Marion. Ind. arrived In
Chicago 10 continue its investigation
Of estates IN that territory after a
hearing here yesterday.
Two recommendations which may
b submitted by the committee
Chairman. Congressman Wright Pat
man Dem. Tex are the taking Of
all guardianship estates out Of the
hands Of commercial banks and the
forcing Of all banks acting in fidu-
ciary capacity for the trusts to file
corporate surety equal to the
amount Of the estates assets.
Banks Held Capable
Congressman Patman intimated
that these suggestions for legisla-
ton would be incorporated into
actual bills when he calLed 3. w.
Breedlove. chief attorney Of the
United States veterans bureau IL
Indiana, TO give an OfI-the-record
opinion as 10 the legislation needed
TO prevent re-OCCUrenCe Of the
wasting OF thousands Of dollars Of
veterans estates by bad banking
practices and alleged speculation
with trust funds.
The congressman admitted that
after hearing thousands of words
of testimony on the wasting away
and mismanagement of thousands
of dollars Of veterans estates by one
Marion bank. he still was convinced
that banks could handle funds more
satisfactorily and keep them in
better shape than individual
guardians.
Mr.. Breedlove agreed with the
congressman.
Necessary Safeguards Suggested
He suggested the safeguards
necessary TO prevent another debacle
of a similar nature.
The committee requested Mr.
BreedlOve TO send it a memorandum
of his suggestions for use in pre-
pairing bill to safeguard future in
vestments and trust funds.
II is the opinion Of members OF
the committee that only government
securities or high-grade municipal
bonds should be permitted as invest
ment mediums of estates of vet
Grams.
Laxity of Law Blamed
Laxity Of Indiana's law governing
state banks as well as the federal
law was blamed BY members of the
committee.
In the past banks have not been
required to give bond under federal
and state laws when administering
estates Of veterans. Individual guar
dians. relatives, have been required
to make bonds.
Investigation Of the affairs of the
Grant Trust and Savings Company
of Marion by The Indianapolis
Times during the winter months
was responsible for the probe and
the possible change q federal laws

FIVE FORMS OF GUINNESS

How dumb are you? Or perhaps we should ask
How bright are you?" Whatever way one wishes
to look at it the fact remains that there is lot
of dumbness in this old world Most folks have
looked upon dumbness as just "plain dumbness. -
But now DR.. c. H. McCoy, professor of anthropo-
metry at the University of Iowa, says there are
hve kinds of dumbness. He has made a study of
intelligence or dumbness among college freshmen
and the Associated Press quotes him as having
reached the following concllsions
II you don't understand Einstein's theory of
relatively, think nothing of it. Einstein has the
nrst Kind Of ntelligence-abstract
IT you don't know what to do when YOUR auto
mobile breaks down on lonely road, it means
you lack the second kind, concrete intelligence
II you make faux pas" at a party. you're
lacking in social intelligence, meaning tact
II you pick up loose football and run 90 yards
the wrong way, there's something the matter with
your athletic intelligence.
And If it takes you weeks and weeks to learn
how to swim, hit golf ball, or dodge traffic, YOU
lack the fifth form Of intelligence, called motor
educability. 80.
DON'T worry, the Doctor says, if you are dumb
in two or three of these ways But if you are dumb
IN all five there isn't lot of hope for you Incl
dentally, our office boy tells us he knows of man
who knows Of lot of folks who are dumb in a
dozen or more ways At least he claims their ac-
lions show it. And actions sometimes speak louder
than words.-Pathfnder

Out in the ocean nine miles
off the coast of old st. Angus
tine, Fla, is a magnificent fresh
water spring which boils up with
such force and volume as to turn
small boat from its course.
This immense spring, at which
the sea birds drink, is in reality
the outpouring of a subterranean
river which flows beneath Green
Cove Springs on the banks of the
beautiful st. Johns river. and
which creates the great springs
that give the town it's name.
Florida has many subterranean
rivers which flowing down from
higher attitudes, have cut their
way through the underlying lime
stone strata. Occasionally the
earth caves in and a lake appears
where the day before was SEEM
ingly solid ground.
