The reason for this B still q matter for conjecture, but appar- entIy boys and girls who are dcss tined for college grow OTnrc quickly during their childhood, and attain their maximum growth at an earlier age than does the rest Of the poDu' 1atIon.

 Since tho oxidation process (mo. tabolism) in the body is usually slow in chronic arthritiS, rninlmal doses of thyroid hormonc over long periods are helpful in increasing the metaboliBm.

Aitken, the Scottish physicist, and the

number of striking effects. Some of
these volcanic dust wells, by cutting
down solar radiation, are supposed to
have caused an appreciable lowering OF
temperatures over large areas of the
earth's surface. One of the many
proposed explanations of Ice Ages is
that they were due to an exceptional
amount of volcanic dust in the upper
atmosphere.
COME Of the startling effects Of
these lofty dust wells were made
familiar to mankind after the tre-
mendous eruption of Krakatoa, in the
Dutch East Indies, August 26-27, 1888,
which is estimated to have hurled
Az cubic miles Of solid matter into
the air. A large part Of this ma
terial soon fell over surrounding lands
and seas, but enough remained at
high levels to form a nearly world
wide layer that persisted for two or
three years This dust is believed
to have been from 80 to 40 miles
above the earth. 1t caused strange
optical effects that attracted uni
versal attention-lurid skies, gorgeous
sunset glows, prolonged twilights,

The most recent widespread volcanic

this volcano, according 10 conserva-
tive estimate, spouted into the at

pampas appeared to be covered with

Much fine dust was shot to heights
Of IS miles or more and spread by
the winds into q veil that encircled
the globe in the southern hemisphere.
For months after the eruption this

also in Australia and South Africa.

Two.Sided Problem.

Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
announced, at his hearing called to dis
cuss the street railway fare petition, that
"I'm pro-public, and this is a one-sided
meeting designed for the public" The
reference was made in connection with
the remarks of one of the stockholders.
That is doubtless the right attitude for
the peoples counsel, who represents the
public-or that portion of the public
which rides the street cars. But the
local transportation problem is distinctly
not one-sided proposition. 1t involves
efficient service at cheap cost to the
public. But it also involves legitimate
return to legitimate investors in the
street car business. The only intelligent
solution of the transportation problem
must take both sides into consideration.
William NICK. Clayton proposed that
II the street car company cannot give
the service to which the public is en-
titled, let them say So" so that Con-
gress may be asked to give us the trans
portation system we need and deserve" :"
II the street car company cannot
furnish adequate transportation, meet
ing the requirements of the public
and at the same time make any
money at the business. it is only

End of Limitations.

June 29 is likely to go down in history
as the date formally marking the end
of naval limitations. On Monday Japan
served notice of her refusal to adhere
to the 1886 London treaty signed by
Great Britain, the United States and
France. The immediate result was the
disclosure that the British will now in
woke the "escalator" clause of the 1880
pact whereby any signatory power is at
liberty to increase tonnage in specified
categories upon notification to treaty
partners that new construction by nom
signatory powers has materially affected
its national security.
Britain's purpose In taking advantage
of the so-called escape" provision is to
retain excess destroyers due to be
scrapped this year, in light of the fact
that non-signatories have built more
than 200 submarines since 1880. The
United States, which is committed to
maintenance of parity with Britain, will
benefit by the latter's decision, because
this country also has built beyond treaty
limits in destroyer tonnage and will now
not need to scrap excess construction.
1t is possible that Japans eventual invo-
cation of the "escalator" clause may also
result in upsetting the submarine restric-
tions of the 1880 treaty.
Yet another blow struck at the fast
crumbling structure of naval limitation
is the probability that the plan to re-
strict battleship guns to a maximum OF
fourteen inches will also go into the
discard The recent Qualitative" tri-
partite pact provides that unless Japan
and Italy agree to smaller guns before
April /, 1887, sixteen-inch weapons will
continue to be legal Neither Toxic nor
Rome has given any indication of will
ingness to adopt the lighter caliber.
Washington authorities have notified
Britain that the United States is willing
to accede to the British increase in de-
stroyer strength provided the London
government assumes exclusive RESPONSE
bility for invoking the "escalator' clause.
This country thus maintains to the
uttermost degree possible its consistent
opposition to naval expansion and any
thing that leads to renewed building
competition.
The British desire to retain 10000 tons
of overbuilt destroyer tonnage conforms
to the vast military and naval rearma-
ment program upon which John Bull,
as recently revealed by government
spokesman. is now working night and
day" It is not only the situation in the
Far East, aggravated anew by Japan's
latest activities in China, but the re-
vived peril of German naval power, that
impels Great Britain to take full ad-
vantage of treaty rights to keep her
naval strength at the maximum per-
missible level. Britain's recent humiliat-
ing experiences with italy In the Medi-
terranean inspire the London admiralty,
too, to plug every possible loophole. All
in all, current events provide anything
but an encouraging outlook for further
curbs on naval armaments, international
conditions being what they are.

Right and Wrong.

When PLATE asked to be enlightened
about the nature of truth he was not
jesting. On the contrary, he asked his
question seriously. Such is the judg-
ment of Scripture commentators, his
torians and philosophers. 1t also is the
opinion of all others who have made it
profession to study the human mind
The problem is uncounted centuries old,
and perhaps additional ages yet to come
will find the riddle still unread.
But the race meanwhile is cultivating
better comprehension Of what is So
cially right and what is socially wrong
For example, no apologist nowadays
presumes to defend dueling. Men have
ceased to believe that they can settle
their differences equitably on the So
called field Of honor"
Moreover, there Is q growing convic-
tion that nations should avoid appeal
