Warrington. Jan. 3l.-(P)-A horde
Of more than 5000 army and navy
fighting planes would be ordered for
the two services under plans afoot on
Capitol Hill Wednesday as a pre-
paredness cry rang in congress.
Efforts aimed at expanding Amer

both the house and senate sides.
Chairman Trammell of the senate
naval committee said he would sub
NIT Wednesday q favorable report on
q navy bill similar to the Vinson big
navy measure passed Tuesday by the
house.
The bill, virtually assured Of senate
approval, would give the navy 1O2
new warships and around 1850 new
airplanes by 1899.
Chairwan McSwain Of the house
military committee said he would in
troduce in the next day or so q bill
to give the army air corps a five
year expansion program, increasing
its planes up to 5000.
Comparatively unnoticed, as the
vinson bill swept through the house,
was an amendment backed by a "take

It is only just. however, to recog-

It must be done In Washington, be-
fore Cuban affairs can be truly
sound.
The sugar situation has to be un-

sugar; the prosperity of the island
depends very largely on the extent to
which Washington is prepared to be

Abrogation Of the Platt amend

has reserved the right to intervene In

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Please tell me the bes, way to treat
frostbitten fingers, cheeks or ears.
IS. PD
Answer-The best treatment Is very
gentle massage with your warm hand.
Apply no ice. snow or cold water, and
avoid friction or excessive handling.
As soon as the blanched area becomes
pink again, stop all manipulation. Do
not be perplexed by ancient medical
SuperSititions. Too much treatment
does more harm than frostbite itself.
Puffs Under Eyes

a particular disorder or may it be q
complication? What had better do
about it-consult a physician? I'M.

Answer-Puffiness under the eyes
occurs in various illnesses and often
from trifling disturbances of health,
faulty hygiene, loss Of sleep, improper

Good Politics. Too

Comments on the presidents ac-
ton in attempting to purge the ad-
aninistration of lawyers who depend
for patronage largely on political af-
filiation have been uniformly favor
able. Nearly everyone seems to feel
that it will do much to improve the
status of administrative effort II the
men In charge are relieved Of politi-
cal pressure.
This Is doubtless true. It is little
difficult to be really independent and
attentive to the interests of the peo-
pie alone if it Is made clear that, by
so doing, the enmity Of persons pow
erful in the party will be incurred.
From that standpoint, all Of the
comment is justified.
There is another angle to the mat
ter, however. which most commenta-
tors have overlooked.
This Is the fact that the move con-
stitutes smart politics In the best
sense Of the word. Nothing could do
more to intensity confidence In the
national administration than this
demonstration that politics is not all
powerful: that the main interest
really is the peoples welfare.
The indication. contained In q re-
cent Associated Press story. that ma
tional committeeman who have found
places on the federal payroll also
would be relieved of their duties also
Is consummate strategy. II 1t does
nothing else it will have the advan-
tage Of diversifying party interest, an
end which political groups constant
ly seek.
The case Of North Dakota and its
national committeeman illustrates
the point.
H. H. Perry has held this post with
some distinction and apparently to
the satisfaction of most North Dakota
Democrats. He has not been able to
meet all the demands made upon him
for jobs, but then no one could have
done that.
II protests have been made against
his continuing as committeeman, de-
spite his post as internal revenue COL
1ector, no publicity has been given to
the fact. Yet the administration
stands to gain something II the
change Is carried out In this state.
II he were relieved Of his political
post, Mr.. Perry certainly would not
be less interested in the success OF his
party than he Is now. He Is bound to
it by every tie which makes q politi-
clan active. He has done we'll by 1t,
but it also has done handsomely by
him and his loyalty Is bound to be
continuing one. Self-interest, II moth
ing else, guarantees that.
II . successor to him as national
committeeman were appointed. the
new man would be added to the ros-
ter Of intensely interested party adj
herents. Thus the party would have
two active workers where it only had
one before.

A Task We Shrink From

(The Western Call. Reeder, N. d.
I dislike writing the obituary of an
oil! lady. II seems so futile trying to
set down in writing the things she
aid. She was born, she grew up
joined a church. was married. became
a mother and passed to her reward
The date of her birth, marriage and
death are mentioned for they are the
high points of her existence. The
story Of her life Is pitifully short.
The life story of her husband would
record the facts of his existence and
a SO Of his business life. Perhaps, too,
i would te,. Of political triumphs and
OF what he had done for the town,
the country, the state and the nation.
The stranger who might read it
would understand that the town had
lost valuable citizen.
We cannot tell. in writing the obitu-
cry of woman, Of all the triumphs
and disasters of her life. They would
sound too petty. When as bride she
and her husband set up home she
assumed responsibilities that she had
n:ver known before. She learned to
spend long hours doing toilsome work
that was never finished. Day after
day the same things had to be done
and she became an expert at doing
them. But these things she did do
not deserve mention In the final story
IT her life. They were not outstand-
ing.
She risked her life each time child
.vaS born and, perhaps. once or twice
ventured so far into the valley of the
shadow that she almost slipped away;
and 1t was only by fighting with every
iota Of her strength that she was able
to pull through, not always because
SIZE wanted to live but because she
was needed. There was a family for
her to care for. But we can't give
credit for that. Mothers have been
doing that since the dawn OF time.
She brought her children into the
world, and she washed them and
dressed them and loved them and
kissed away their tears. She ban
daged their fingers and toes. She
nursed them through sickness and
she smoothed their paths through life,
and all the while she was encouraging
her husband and helping him to be-
ccme successful.
She made his home cheerful and
restful. She listened to the stories Of
his troubles and encouraged him to
try again when disaster overlook him.
And when success would come and his
head would begin to rise among the
clouds she would gently pull him
back to earth and continue the proc
ess Of making a man Of him.
But she gets no credit for any of
these things. It is what she was put
on earth to do.
At last she comes to the end OF the
toilsome journey and she is laid to
rest. Her funeral is attended by many
who did not know her but came out
Ct respect to her husband or her chill
dren who are their friends. The min
ister reads from a slip Of paper the
uninteresting facts OF her birth, maj.
riage and death, and names the mem.
bers Of her family who survive her,
but he does not tell all the things she
did. partly because they are taken for
Rranted. You can't put all that into
an obituary. People might laugh at
you for writing 1t.
