which joined the fight on both sides,
we find that As British ships stood
against 81 German. The expectation
of the British people that its fleet
would be able to beat easily and
thoroughly any weaker adversary that
ventured to fight it on the open sea
was sorely disappointed. On the other
side, the German people were right in
rejoicing over the success of their
young fleet. The certainty that the
German feet was able to meet an en-
emy so famous for his former victories
on sea, and even superior in some re-
spectS, strengthened the self-reliance
of officers and men in our navy. They
felt that they possessed in their ships
force which could answer to any
demands modern warfare on the water
might raise. This was shown by the
German feet again proceeding to an
offensive after repairs were finished on
August 10, and the adopting of the
idea of an expedition against Sunder-
land which had been given up on May
81. Airships and U-boats Joined this
expedition. The Germans approached
within 40 miles of the British coast,
but then turned south because of q
report from an airship, with the hope
of drawing British force into battle.
That hope was not realized. Nor did
the British fleet ever undertake an
offensive of their own during the rest
of the war, nor did it operate against
the German coast, not even when
large part of the German feet had
been detached in the Autumn Of 1917
for the conquest of the Baltic islands
so far east.
Strategic Results.
"The strategic results of the victory
of Jutland were: For the German
fleet freedom of movement in the
southern part Of the North Sea; the
fleet was able to protect up to the
end of the war the U-boats when they
left and returned to their base in the
North Sea, and it was able to super
intend the clearance of our waters
from British mines; it prohibited these
mines from being carried SO close to
the German ports as to bar the u
boats from troubling British trade. A
victory on the British side Of Skagger-
ack (Jutland) would not have left

FACE advocates seem some
- what disturbed by the reluc-
tance Of the Latin American
~ governments to boycott Italy,
which we commented upon last week.
They are asking themselves whether
Latin America has gone back on the
League and abandoned her traditional
stand for peace.
Whoever expresses such fear has
misinterpreted the attitude of those
Latin American countries which in
sisted on carrying on their trade with
Italy. They have not deserted the
ideal of international cooperation
for the maintenance of peace. They
have not even deserted the League.
AS a matter of fact, in the councils of
Geneva their representatives were the
most outspoken critics of Italian i'm
perialisrl in Africa.
What some, and only q few, of the
Latin American governments have
made clear is that they doubt whether
the League is capable or even willing
to enforce the boycott decreed against
Fascist Italy. Observing past per-
formances and weighing all present
circumstances, they have become
skeptical as to the sincerity Of the
Leagues directors in demanding a
united front to make the world safe
for peace. They have pointed out
that, time and again in the past, when
other imperialistic ambitions were
making a mockery of the principles
upheld at Geneva, the powers which
control the League remained un-
moved. They have stressed the fact
that, this time, the same powers have
acted only because the desire for
peace happens to coincide with their
own material interests.
Supplies Furnished, Is Charge.
They have pointed out, moreover,
that, even now, the economic sane
tions have been approved only half
heartedly, and that, while Italy Ia
being publicly condemned and on
cially denied arms and credits, she
is still being supplied with oil by the
Anglo Persian Co. and with other es-
sentials of war by other concerns
owned and controlled by her tech
nical enemies"
Under these circumstances, those Of
the Latin American statesmen who
question the sincerity Of the League
have announced that they will abstain
from boycotting Italy until their
doubts have been removed and the
League has proved that she is willing
to risk q major European war to en-
force her sanctions. 1t is undeniable
that only at the cost of an armed
blockade of Italy, and therefore of
actual warfare, can League sanctions
be completely successful. Until the
League powers have shown their de-
termination to 60 this length in bring
ing outlaw" Italy to order, skepticism
in other parts of the world will subsist.
OF course, even then, even If the
League did go all the way in stopping
Italy by means of war, 1t could still
be said that the League had acted
primarily to protect the status quo,
which is to say to protect the inter-
ests of the big powers controlling the
League, but this argument would no
longer impress the Latin Americans
once they saw the gentlemen at
Geneva meant business" The Latin

construction of the dining room table
The table is mounted upon a rather
sturdy base with casters and the ton
consists Of five or six sections which
are rocked on a pivot so that in one
position the sections referred to form

100000 CARS OUTDATED

Evidences that the automobile
industry. faces the largest re-
placement market in its history
during the coming year were cited
today by B. G. Moock, vice preSi-
dent Of the Plymouth Motor Cor
poration, as a reason for optimism
in the industry.
Visiting the automobile show
at Calvert Hall here. Mr.. Mock
has just come from New York,
where he reports extraordinarily
favorable reaction to the new
models at the auto show.
Recent surveys" he said,
"show that there are 1000, 900 cars
seven years old or older in
operation at the present time.
The average life of a motor car is
estimated at eight years.
These facts mean that almost
one-third of all cars on American
streets and highways now will
reach the old-age limit in 1885.
America will be running out Of

year."

hopeless cripple, arraigned before
District Supreme Court Justice
Daniel w. O'Donoghue entered a
plea Of not guilty of the first-de-

to Gallinger Hospital for treat
ment.
His wife was unfaithful, Ash.
craft told police, and he feared
for his sons future in case he
should die and the child be left
in his mothers care.
Prompted by these fears, he
turned on both gas jets on the
stove of their squalid basement
apartment where the child lay
sleeping in his arms after an in

Another Front for the Citrus
Industry to Watch

The battle the citrus industry IS continually waginr
~ behalf OF higher prices to the growers for the pro-
ducts Of their orchards is q many fronted struggle
"A win here may well be discounted by a loss on some
other sector. but sad to say seldom enough IA n loss
on one front over-balanced by q substantial gain on
another.
AL OF last season Valley citrus growers were way
ing a losing fight in an effort to hold up the per box
price OF grapefruit shipments out Of the Valley on the
markets OF the country. and were losing a vital battle
right here at home.
With the fight for q higher price in st. Louis and
Chicago and other marts getting the play, price
Tor canning fruit was allowed to drop to as low as
e2oo a ton in the field. a price for which the can
ners are not to be blamed any more than are the
growers who allowed their fruit to sell for such q
sour noted sons.
An citrus seasons progress It becomes more and
more apparent that the grapefruit canning Industry
ia to play an ever Increasingly important part IN the
larger citrus picture. and for that reason It behooves
our growers and our growers organizations to devote
at least some thought 70 that battle front. Never let
10 be forgotten that canned grapefruit Is bound TO de-
velcp into q eompetitor OF the fresh product. which
presents just one more good and sufficient reason for
the grower getting q fair price for the part Of the
crop that goes into the can.
The Brownsville Herald has been Informed that
Florida growers are facing the fading of a substantial
part OF their citrus crop into the canned goods route,
but that cannery prices In Florida appear to be stahl-
ised at . much higher price than has prevailed here
I'm the Valley. even when compared with the best
prices that have been paid. An average o. 4oc per
field box Of grapefruit. which win run close to one
half q cent q pound or $40 a ton for cannery fruit, Is
reported as the usual price.
Canneries are wanted here IN the VALLEY. There Is a
distinct need for their operations. They not only
should furnish the citrus grower with a fair and rea-
scnarly profitable price for his Gull and low grade
Cn appearance) fruit. brit thew build m a most sub
stantfal and welcome additional payroll.
That their operations have been hampered IN past
years by the higher rates thew must nav TO get into
markets IN competition with other sections Is a matter
OF common knowledge. It is honed that the corinv
OF deep water with its lower FREIGHT rates win not
only increase the scope Of their operations. but en-
able them to ronerate with greater profit both to
themselves and to the citrus growers from whom they
purchase their fruit.
Two eventualities are seen in event prices maid bv

ana OH nybcia, the nc4ltn magazine
There are ways to get your baby to stop sucking It's
fingers or biting its fingernais. and there are ways
to make the child like it. Just try to lay too much
stress or this idea Of finger sucking. and youn more
than likely see 1t get worse.
For then the child will find it can obtain rewards.
and can irritate you. and 1t win use this form TO
punish you.
Finger sucking or biting the nails. Is G common hab-
it among children and should not be regarded as q
sign Of ahnormaIity. But you should DO everything
possible 10 stop 1t, to prevent deformity Of Jaws and
teeth.
Usually finger sucking occurs when the child IL
sleepy or when 1t Is nervous. fatigued. or sick. Most
children get over it suddenly. Girls particularly viii
stop when they are made to realize that Il win bring
an unsightly appearance.
Mothers used to cover the fingers Of their children
with all sorts Of bad-tasting substances. to prevent
the habit. Among these substances we're tincture Of
valerian. tincture OF asafetidas compound tincture OF
~eentian. and mixtures containing quinine or quassia-
But many a child relished these bitter drugs. and
generally the treatment failed to have permanent re-
suits.
Nowadays mechanical devices are used to prevent
finger sucking and nail biting. A simple cuff. ex-
tending over the elbow and so preventing the child
from bending its arm and putting its fingers In It's
mouth. Is very useful
There are aluminium mitts which can be tied around
the hands. and various awkward chain devices which
make thumb sucking and nail biting unattractive.
ss
Some parents have been able to prevent continuance
Of the habit by giving the child q rubber pacifier or
some similar object to take the place Of the thumb.
and then removing the pacifier. But II the child has
any intelligence whatever. It win soon find out that
It Is making an unequal struggle and give UP the
habit.
Another method OF breaking the Misunderstanding
and nail-hiting habit IL by giving the child a substi-
tute interest.
Thus the child may be provided with c~cnstruc-
tive toys. such as puzzles. things to cut. molding clay,
miniature buildings. including hammers and nails and
blocks and other things. These win keep its mind,
body. and attention focused. 50 that Il win have
something else to do besides biting It's own fingers.
