Watch Shipments

The government does not intend to

to discover II shipments to neutral

officials insist, but they point out that
they have been catching such viola

wars, every week or 3d." and say the
same sort OF watch will be kept on
shipments to any country which might
pass them on, either to Italy or ETH
opia. Which of course means prima-
rily Italy.
For instance, II there should be
heavy shipment OF explosives or guns
to Germany, the government may re-
quire substantial proof that the ship
ment Is not going any further, or is
not going to replace similar supplies
sold to Italy.
Newspapers, according to officials,
have enormously exaggerated the
amount OF raw materials Italy bought
In anticipation OF this war. They do
not deny that Italy has laid In a sup
ply Of raw materials, but insist that In
most instances the amounts purchased
are not greatly in excess OF normal
purchases. 49,
On the other hand Is the tremendous
shrinking In the Bank of Italy's gold
supply
Which would seem to indicate, espe-
cially as unofficial information Is that
the gold supply has been coming down
sharply since Setember 20, that Italy
has been buying heavily, despite off,
cial reports to the contrary.
Which brings up the whole question
OF credit. Leaving out the dire posi-
bility that Great Britain may declare
war on Italy. and blockade her, Will
Italy be able to buy American cotton,

be plenty OF political pressure to en-
courage this, but would American
bankers be willing to extend credit to
finance such sales after Italy's gold
supply has been stripped down to the
danger mark--wherever that Is?
Germany fought the war without
much credit from neutrals, but she has,

Healthy Eye Can Exist

ut may be put down, as general
and obvious truth that a healthy eye
can exist only in a healthy body"
says Dr. Hyman Cohen In Hygiene
of the Eye in Hygeia.
Progressive shortsightedness with
its inherent tendency to grow worse
during the growth and school period
requires special hyglenic care. The
eyes should be re-examlned frequent
ly. Glasses should be worn constant
ly. School tasks should be shortened
as to time and amount, and no extra
tasks such as music. sewing and
special studies should be imposed on
near-sighted children. Good print In
the books that are read, proper light
and proper posture are important.
Seats and desks In schoolro0ms
should be adjusted to the height OF
the children so that the erect sitting
posture may be maintained and the
habit of fitting the head to one side
may be avoided. Light is the medi-
um In which the eyes work. as air

No Real Conhagration

Belief that Italy Will eventually have
to yield to economic pressure Is very
strong In diplomatic circles here. The
opinion OF the diplomats, perhaps the
BEST informed persons as to actual
conditions, is that there will not be
any real conflagratIon. They do not
believe, for example, that Britain will
ever actually blockade Italy, which
dire possibility would lead to tremen-
dous consequences.
They point out, however, that, con-
trary to popular opinion. Germany Is
not sympathetic with italy. but anx-
ious to go along with Great Britain.
They do not believe, therefore, that
Germany will supply Italy with the
needed munitions--uslng munitions In

At the time the neutrality act
passed, President Roosevelt expressed
only one regret-that the act did not
ban foreign loans for war purposes.
The narrowness Of language In the
neutrality act defining war supplies
was not at once noticed by officials. 1t
was assumed until very recently, for

So this observer believes that Mr..

the treasury as long as he wants, and,
when his time comes to 60. will get a
wonderful send-off, and with no such
lame excuse as promoting him to be
ambassador to Spain

bert Hoover's motive In attracting so
much limelIght This Is that Hoover
really has no Idea OF being a candi-
date, but intends to hold the lime
light and make no statement which
would take him out OF the apparent
race before, say, next February. The
explanation given for this Is that
Hoover wants to shield any other pos
sible Republican nominee from being
put on the spot as to the soldier bonus.
BY February, Washington believes, the
bonus will have passed into history,
with Its passage over Rooseyelt's veto.
