no admirer Of beauty would have looked twice; but
she happened to be a f~irst-rate teacher. and her pu-
pills appreciated the fact and profited by 1t.

We Won't Fight For Oil

1t Is hardly surprising to learn that the Standard
Oil interests have Withdrawn from the Ethiopian oil
concession. Public opinion in the United States was
so obviously and outspokenly unfavorable that the
venture would have enjoyed little support at home;
and 1t swiftly became evident that TIE temper Of the
people was unanimously against even the shadow Of
government backing for the project.
The public reaction was pretty well exemplified IN
the remark Of an intelligent printer. well" said
this man. I'VE fought the last var for J. p. Morgan.
and It looks rs II wei fight the next for Rockefel-
Ter"
When people are talking ike that they are not in
the mood to be cajoled into taking up arms for the
ssnctity Of oil concessions. This concession had a
short life, and none viii lament its passing.

U. S. Desires Peace But Keeps
Powder Dry

The United States fleet having Unanswered ex-
tensively in the Pacific and the United States army
having gone through its warlfke PAGES in the Adircn-
dacks. this summer might be recorded as the one IN
which Uncle Sam oiled up his squirrel rifle. whetted
his bowie knife on his boot. and let the neighbors
know that he was ready for anything anyone cared
to start.
It looks. in other words. as II we have gone In for
mfntarism In a big way. But the give-away-the
straw that shows which way the wind really is blow
ing-was contributed not by the army and navy. but
by Congress.
Right at the tail end Of everything, Congress
passed an unprecedented new wartime embargo law.
1t didn't 20 as far as It might have. but the law was
unmistakably designed to keep the country out Of
war. and within certain limits 1t ought TO be highly
effective.
This ~pacifistic gesture. coming on the heels Of the
greatest double-harreled display OF military and
naval might we ever put on in peacetime. seems Ike
a contradiction. As q matter OF fact. 1t was not This
country is as fond Of peace as It ever was but
the postwar years have at last taught 1t something.
Beginning in 1922. the United States government
devoted q fun 10 years to the cause Of naval arms
reduction. After the Washington treaty It strapped
the mightiest warships ever built. Thereafter It
studiously refrained from building up to treaty
limits. and It went to conference after conference In
an effort to get naval limits down still farther.
Al this went. as the saying goes, for Mr.. Sweeney.
The riveting hammers are changing in ~shipyards all
the way from Japan to Germany. And II, after all
this wasted effort. Uncle Sam decides to exercise his
fleet out beyond the Hawaiian somewhere-well. who
can blame him?
And as for the army maneuvers well, by super
human effort we managed to get $4,000 soldiers,
counting National Guardsmen, in one spot at one
time. And just as we we're getting through with this
display Of military might, Italy put on her own war
- - - aw~,w 20 E0n mn rnan-ac ~
to remind US that our army Is a mere pigmy COM
pared with the armies OF the other great powers.
1t would be foolish to say that this summer has
seen the United States swinging toward militarism.
That munitions embargo law is the real tip-off on
how the nation feels about war.
The army and navy exercises were nothing more
than common sense preparations for the unexpected.

typhoid fever follows a long and serious course
once a person becomes infected. During an incubation
period OF from three TO q days after germs enter the
body, they develop and lberate their poisons. The
average length Of time is loA days.
The condition begins with the usual symptoms OF
infection. such as headache. general pains in the
body. q feeling OF exhaustion and loss Of appetite.
Sometimes there are chils.
Frequently there is nosebleed. and almost invari-
ably there is disturbance Of bowel action in the form
OF constipation or diarrhea.
As the disease goes on. the person becomes sicker
and sicker. occasionally developing a high fever
with q stepladder rise, and severe chils. There is
q tendency toward Involvement Of the blood YES
sells and the formation OF clots. Rose spots appear
on the skin at the end Of the first or at the begin
ming Of the second week.
In addition to the loss OF appetite, there may be
formation Of gas with consequent bloating OF the
body; and sometimes. because OF the ~bloating. and
ulcers in the bowels, sudden severe hemorrhages from
the bowel.
Sometimes the infection and the poisoning affect
the nervous system so that there is delirium and even
course Of the disease.
The physician who examines a patient with ty-
phoid fever makes his diagnosis from the history Of
the case and appearance C the symptoms, and also
by careful studies OF the blood.
1t Is possible to examine specimens Of the blood
and to determine by means Of the so-called Vidal
test. named for the Frenchman who discovered It,
whether the condition is quite certainly typhoid fever.
Any serious complications, such as hemorrhage, per-
foration Of the bowel. and changes in the heart ac-
ton and nervous system. demand prompt and careful
attention by competent physician.

and now. at the end we get this picture Of Hamilton,
dying from gunshot wounds as the gang fled fran

It's a dark picture. Any impressionable youth who
