Your Health

A THOUGH we haven't had a recurrence OF the
n epidemic of Iethargic encephalitis, or sleeping
sickness that struck the St Louis area last summer
we should be aware of its symptoms and be prepared
for 1t.
This condition is essentially an inflammation OF
the brain There is a variety of symptoms, chiefly
drowsiness, which in some cases persists Tor long
periods.
The disease usually begins with a severe head
ache, nausea and vomiting, which are common 70
most infectious diseases There is also mental
confusion, tremors of the hand, stiffness Of the
spine and neck and some difficulty OF speech, which
points to the fact the infection has invaded the
nervous system.

able delirium, and few may seem to be unable to

Cause of the disease has not been determined.

these cases complete recovery was not common.

Today S Science

a REVIEW Of the weather of the last twenty five
n wears shows that rain and snow have had
tendency fall of in the north. especially IN the
northwest, and 20 rise IN the south and east
Within the last few years however, the upward
trend in the south anG east has begun to turn into
a downward trend. These facts are pointed out by
the United States weather bureau.
Nieteorologists of the bureau. however can see no
way to work out a formula for long-range weather
prediction from these data according TO j. B. Kincer
head Of the climate and crop weather division of the
bureau
The curve for the first five months of 1884 showed
decided drop as course the whole nation realizes
only too we'll There is no way. Mr.. Kincer says. to
foreten how much further this curve may drop, nor
when It Will start upward once more
THE stand OF the United States weather bureau
Il en- the matter of long-range weather forecast
ing has been one of extreme conservatism.
For many years, the bureau refused TO make any
thing but a daily forecast. Then weekly forecasts
were instituted The bureau however does not yet
feel that the time has come to try monthly fore
casts.
Under the program of increased activity. worked
in conjunction with President RooSevelts scen-
tic advisory board the bureau will have the benefit
OF more airplane observations in the future Flights
are TO be made by planes Of the United States
army. navy and department Of commerce. Mr..
Kncer says that the bureau has investigated claims
that the weather goes in cycles of eleven years,
twenty-three years and thirty-fve years. but has
been unable TO find any basis for such beliefs in It's
records.
THERE seems little doubt but what the weather
IL goes in trends. But the difficulty TO date is
that nobody can say when a downward trend is
going 10 turn into upward trend or vice versa.
That IS the difficulty with the precipitation record
FOR the last twenty-five years. The downward trend
Is evident But as Mr.. Kincer points out. nobody
knows whether II Is going to continue downward
start up again.
Another interesting trend in the weather
pointed out recently by H. Helm Clayton. editor of
the World Weather Records, annual publication of
the Smithsonian Institution. He finds evidence that
the United States is getting hotter.

PLEA FOR CHILDREN
MADE TO MOTORISTS
Salvation Army Seeks Cars
for Camp Trips.

Appeal to motorists to provide free
transportation for the 100 under
privileged children and their mothers
taken each week to the Salvation
Army camp on Indian creek near
Sunnyside sanatorium, was made to-
day by Major James Murphy.
The groups are transported to the
camp at 10 a. m. each Friday and
are to be returned the following
Thursday. The camps are to be
continued until the end of August,
if transportation can be arranged.
Persons willing to cooperate in
taking the children to and from the
camp should telephone Major Muir
ply, Riley 9275.

From now on they will be asked
to conform to the more popular
conventions. And unless they
want to do that, they will have
to turn to something besides the
screen for a profession.
Film fandom doesn't want one
of its favorite actresses running
around in public With one man
while she is married to another,
as Constance Bennett has done
with Gilbert Roland, while mar
ried to the Marquis de la Falaise.
n
IT doesn't approve of a girl who
l. at % has divorced her first
husband, while second husband
committed suicide, and who has
separated from her third mate, as
has been the case with Jean Har-
low.
1t doesn't want a woman who
has divorced three husbands, and
is reported ready to Shelve her
fourth, to become entangled with
a married man, such as seems to
be the case of Gloria Swanson and
Herbert Marshall.
1t doesn't want a woman to
parade around in masculine at
tire AS Marlene Dietrich does.
Il
THOSE are things for which
Il the entire film colony is con-
demned, and rightly so. And it is
such stars who in the future will
find that there is no place for
them on the screen.
The great mass of our populace
lives according to certain conven-
tionS.
And these persons have a per-
feet right to demand that the
screen stars, who, because of their
positions, are examples for the
younger generation, should con-
form to these same ideals.

lShed IN Foreign Affairs.
They come down to this: In
Asiatic waters the japanese with
a submarine fleet equal to the
British or our own and and with
a navy three -fifths as large are
secure. They can not be attack
ed or cut off from the mainland.
The British, on the other hand,
have an empire scattered through
out the world and we have coasts
on two oceans.
If Japan, with her geographical
position, needs a navy equal to
sixty on scale of hundred,
Britain and the United States
with their very much more ex-
tended position require larger
navies.
For Japan to have an equal navy
would mean that in the Pacific
Japan had a preponderant navy.

ington that comedies naval equal
ity to Japan. There is no use
mincing words on this point. To
fail to make it clear can only mis-
lead the Japanese people into eX-
pecting what it is impossible for
them to attain.
Limitation is a civilized sub
Stitute for race of ornaments.
But it is possible to obtain limi-
tation and make it effective only
if the treaty of limitation expresses
substantially the relative position
which would result from a race
of ornaments.
Any attempt to depart radically
from this principle is doomed to
fail.
THIS has been demonstrated at
n Geneva. The Germans are
asking for equality with France at
a time when they have a policy
which conflicts with the existing
European settlement. This means
that Germany is opposed by
France, the Little Entente, and
Russia.
While Germany is potentially
stronger than any one of these
powers, the combination is po-
tentially stronger than Germany.
No armament treaty can be writ
ten which alters this position.
Thus when Germany started to
rearm, the net result was to draw
her diplomatic opponents into a
closer alliance. This counter bal
anced her rearmament and Ger
manys international position is
certainly no stronger and is prob
ably weaker than if she had not
started to rearm.
So with Japan. If Japan were
to break down the treaties Of limi-
tation and were then to build for
equality, she would lose rather
than gain in her naval position.
y u
EOR she would not only be out
Il built by Britain and America
but, as Admiral Pratt puts it, IF
the ship (of treaty Imitation
sinks, the readjustment period
should find those with identic in
terests in the same lifeboats."
That is to say, Britain and
America would find themselves
working in harmony in the Pa
cif1c.
This, it seems to me, is the hard
boiled lesson of all our expert
menting since the war. Arms can
be limited by nations which are
truly at peace; by other nations
limitation can go no further than
to recognize their relative
strength
That is why the road to dis
armament is not through disarm-
ament conferences but through
the settlement of political differ
ences.

But they cling to the right to

their acts by pointing out that
there is even more immortality and
vice in New York City than in

In all probability that is true,
and it is equally true that you
hear few protests regarding the
morals of New York. That may
be attributed to the fact that our
screen stars belong to the public
just as much as does the Presi-
dent of the United States.
1t is the public who raises them
from inconsequential players to
stars earning enormous salaries.

might be in the bread lines or, at

story:
A South Carolina Negro went

found what he thought was
large log holding one of the traps
under water. Unable to pull it
loose, he went to his nearby farm
and got his mule. Hitching the
animal to the trap, he started to
haul it out of the stream. But
instead of log he found a 230-
pound sturgeon.
Neither the Negro, nor the mule,
ever had seen such a fish. The
darky let out yell, the mule
bray, and both fed.

A Funny Race, ParIey-VOO

IRON the standpoint of the Frenchman there is
L much to justify belief that the Americans are
funny race themselves. It must have puzzled them
greatly to find unknown Americans contributing
their money to rebuild the homes Of unknown
Frenchmen and send Christmas presents TO French
children some years ago.
There have been many disasters in the Etats Unis
since those days but the French sense of humor
never has distorted the practical French regard for
the value of the franc
Consequently the French people never have
poured in their money to rebuild any home of Amer
lean farmers, destroyed by tornado or flood And in
all the years of the American panic no steamships
have arrived in America, laden with gifts from un-
known French children to unknown American chill
dren wishing them joyeauX noel.
The American sense of humor at times prompts
them to acts which, to the French citizens, exceed
the bounds of humor and amount to silly extremes.
