Hoover Was for Protection.
President Hoover felt very strongly
that American troops should serve at
home. not abroad. and that the mill
tary missions stationed in various
parts of the world ought to be dis
continued as soon as possible. In this
attitude he developed the idea Of his
immediate predecessors. He was in
sistent on the reduction as soon as
possible of the forces In China He
withdrew all troops from Nicaragua
and sent commission to Haiti to
arrange for complete and permanent
withdrawal there.
But never once did Mr.. Hoover in
innate that the United States would
not, II occasion demanded, land troops
for the protection Of its citizens; 1t
never occurred to him to renounce thi.
right. There is no doubt that the
implied promise never to exercise it
has already greatly complicated the
task of the American officials In
Haiti, for example, and that the Hal
tians are becoming less scrupulous In
observing the terms of the very liberal
agreement negotiated year ago.
If the idea that the United States
will never intervene with force Is to
be accepted literally 1t means disaster
to all American enterprise abroad.
Nothing new will be started. and
what can be iquidated will be
dropped. It is desertion Of Amer
ican citizens unless they happen to be
within the borders Of their own
country.

two kinds of striders skimming over
the water, because there were those
with wings, and those without them.
There are two forms Of adults be-

Unless you are wise to the chill

Water Striders are never idle They
are racing over the water, nabbing
giddy insects. So fast do they move
your eyes hardly follow them. They
become so eager to catch an insect
they jump into the air after it. Some
times they appear greatly annoyed at
the swift flies that evade them.
Watch how they turn about and make
off in new direction. "I'll get you
yet" is the attitude Of the hunter.
He usually succeeds. Keep count and
see how often he is quicker than his
victim.

hairs outlining their front legs. This
Is great advantage. They keep

leg has a claw at its tip, to aid the
swimmer in catching his prey. The
efficient beak is four -jointed. The
antennae are very long and four
jointed, too.
The swift runner has often been
called q spider, because he gets over
the ground so fast on his front legs.
Now, again, you should have a mag
nifying glass. The agile swimmer has

waterproof. His feet only dimple the
water and do not break through the
surface film. Then you see how he
holds up his front legs to catch his
