Italy Can Continue
War Despite Embargo

ROME, Jan. 20 O.N.S0-rtaly
is prepared to carry on her Eth
opian war at least Is more
months even should the League
of Nations impose a fuel EN-
bargo-yet the italian govern
ment would consider an oil ban
"a deeply hostile act"
This information, International
News Service learned today, has
been placed in the hands of the
governments of more than one
SanctioniSt country through dip
lomatic representatives here.
Although official facts regard
ing Italy'S war resources have
been closely guarded, this state
ment tallieS closely with repeated
official declarations that an oil
embargo at this late stage would
not effect the conduct Of the
war "for a lon'' time"
Nevertheless, a government
spokesman said such step by
the league would be regarded as
hostile" primarily because Of its
effect on the civilian population.
Such essential services as the
operation of ambulances, doctors
cars, and even fire engines, the
spokesman pointed out, might be
halted by an oil embargo, and the
domestic population subjected to
intense hardship long before the
fuel ban brought about the
Leagues purpoSe-to render an
aggressive" war impossible.

EXPERTS PAVE
WAY FOR OIL
EMBARGO

GENEVA, Jan. 20 QN.S)
Backed by the other chief oil pro
ducers belonging to the League
Of Nations, Britain is now ex'
pected to take the lead Monday
in a definite step towards cutting
off fuel shipments to Italy.
Groundwork for this action was
laid today at a meeting of tech
nical experts of the Leagues sane
tons committees, who are to ad-
dress q QUESTIONABLE to all sane
zionist countries asking exactly
how coercive measures voted ear
lier are being applied, and how
effective they are.
The same experts will meet
Monday to decide if an oil en-
barge is possible in actual prac-
tice, and League authorities are
now predicting affirmative action
under Britain'S leadership.

ASKS
TO BE HONEST

Today's wintry blasts blew a
homeless youth Of 10 into police
headquarters.
He wore no hat, no coat.
His lips were blue from the
cold.
He said his name was John
Luka, "of nowhere in particular. !"
All he wanted, he said, was
some clothes and a chance to be
honest.
Four months ago he confessed
participation in warehouse
theft, believing that II he were
found guilty he would be sent to
a nice, warm Jail for the winter.
Instead, he was sent to the Vir-
ginia State farm below Rich
mond. Tears wet his cheeks this
morning when he told the desk
sergeant:
II didn't commit the crime,
but now I'm a jailbird, and no
one wants me. I want to be
honest Il want to work"

For Bad Winter
Coughs, Mix This
Remedy Yourself
Saves Good Money! No Cooking

Saves Good Money! No CookingI I
If you want the best cough remedy
that money can buy, mix it at home. It
costs very little, yet it's the most reli-
able, quick-acting medicine you ever
used. The way it takes hold Of dis
tressing coughs, giving immediate re-
lief, is astonishing.
Any druggist can supply you with
21b ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a
pint bottle, and add graduated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. To make
syrup, use 2 cups of sugar and one cup
of water, and stir a few moments until
dissolved. No cooking needed. It's no
trouble at all, and gives you four times
as much cough medicine for your
money-a real family supply. Keeps
perfectly and tastes fine.
1t is surprising how quickly this
loosens the phlegm, soothes the irritat-
ed membranes, helps clear the air pas
sages, and thus ends bad cough in
hurry.
Pinex is a compound of Norway
Pine, in concentrated form, famous for
its effect in stopping coughs quickly.
Money refunded if it doesn't please
you in every way.

WIND C0MPELS
ENJOYS DASH

Wind is no respector of diplo-
mats.
That was borne out last night
when Navy plane, bringing the
French pilots who flew a giant
plane across the Atlantic, at.
tempted to land at the Naval Air
Station.
On the ground were members Of
the Diplomatic Corps and ranking
officers. But a hazardous wind
caused the Navy pilot. bringing
the visitors to Washington. to de-
eide on a landing at Washington
Airport.
After much confusion and a mad
dash across the city, the welcom-
ing party finally met the filters,
who were escorted to the French
embassy.
The, huge French plane was
wrecked in a squall at Pensacola,
Fla, two weeks ago, and is being
shipped back to France. The pilots
will sail for home tomorrow on a
liner.

DENTISTS SH Y
AT PAIN CURE

There wasn't a soldier present,
but drill was the chief topic of
conversation last night.
You guessed tit was a meet.
ing of the District Dental Society,
and interest centered around the
pain killer recently discovered by
Prof. Leroy L. Hartman, of Co.
lumbia University.
According to some authorities
the new method will make it a joy
to have the dentist step on the
gas and make the drill go round
and round. But others are ex-
tremely skeptical.
So the local society has ap-
pointed a committee to expert
ment and find out just what the
effect will be.

will end June 80, 1887. During his
absence from the capital it was is
sued by Acting Budget Director
Daniel w. Bell.
The chief items changed by the
estimate were:
1 Receipts, fixed at Sc, 665 1899 ZOO.
2. Expenditures at $7,762 1885 300.
3. Gross deficit for the year at
81, O96, 1896, 300.
4. Public debt on June 80, 1887,
at $34, 188, 543 ,493.73.
These estimates compared with
January figures as follows:
/. Receipts of S., 1854, PIT $50.
2. Expenditures of $7,645, 3O1 1888.
3. Deficit of 81, 098, 1888, 100.
4. Public debt at end of year of
$31 1851 1893, 1877.
The $4,000, 100000 deficit Mr..
Roosevelt estimated is the lowest of
the New Deal. Regarding this fig
ure the President said:
''The estimated deficit for 1887 is
2,096, 1896, 300 which includes $780,
100000 for statutory debt retirement
and $3.50, 100000 for further pay
ments under the adjusted compen-
sation payment act.
"Deducting the amount of the
statutory debt retirement leaves
net deficit of ST, SIG, 1896, 300.
''This does not mean that there
will be an increase in the public
debt of this amount for the reason
that it is contemplated during the
year to reduce the working balance
of the general fund by approximate
ly 81, 100, 900, 000."
What Mr.. Roosevelt meant by
this was that instead of borrowing
money to cover the difference be-
tween receipts and expenditures,
the Treasury would dip into the gen.
eral fund for $1,100, 900, 900.

A Lesson From the Kitchen
Captain of Industry Learns Some
thing About Household Economy

he might indeed find the root of
the trouble with his finances, he
eagerly agreed.
At once the captain of industry
started making changes. First, he
found it wasteful to have the
oven going for just one cake, so
he baked ten cakes at one time.
Then he turned his attention to the
labor saving devices, which to his
establishment were idle for a large
part of the day. The vacuum
cleaner, dish washer, washing
machine and others presented
quite a problem in efficiency. Mrs.
Jones asked if he should not build
more houses to make more work
for them, and Mr.. Jones was about
to turn his talents to solving the
problem when the ten cakes which
the family had obligingly eaten
for him began to manifest the
usual results. The doctors bill
was charged to "Overproduction"
and to a lesson in household
economy which the financier had
learned from the kitchen. Perhaps
the result was that he called in
Mrs. Jones to find the flaw in his
complicated system of industrial
economy-as one who has failed
to one who has succeeded. But
that is as far as the story goes!

Japan Will Build Big
Submarine Fleet

I JAPAN proposes to build up
- submarine feet approximately
80 per cent larger than that o. either
Great Britain or the United States.
Such was the substance of a note
delivered by the japanese embassy
in London to the British foreign Of
fee. The decision replaces the sub
marine parity among the three pow
ers established by the 1880 London
naval treaty.
Japan notified Great Britain that
it was determined to keep afioat
11,059 tons of destroyers and 49,
598 tons of submarines above the
1880 London treaty quotas. This
tonnage, if the treaty's provisions
were carried out, would be scrapped
at the end of this year.
The Japanese note was in reply
to Great Britain's memorandum of
July Is, 1886, invoking the escape
clause" of the first London treaty
in order to increase it's destroyer
tonnage above the pact's allowance.
Japan gave the lack of sufficient
excess destroyers as its reason for
retaining a surplus in submarines.
The United States, like Great Brit
tain, has decided it must keep in
service after the end of the year
10000 tons of over age destroyers
in excess of the total permitted by
the 1880 treaty.

Relief Work Will Be
Continued for Farmers

IN HIS radio talk the President
L asserted every governor wit h
whom he had talked on his trip to
the drouth area gave approval to
his policy of providing federal work
relief for the distressed farmers on
projects that will protect their crops
in the future. This policy, he said,
would be continued. He did not
give specific details of the drouth
relief plan, which will be based on
the report of the Presidents drouth
study committee.
Mr.. Roosevelt asserted that work
relief for the unemployed in the
cities has restored consumer pur-
chasing power, sustained every
merchant in the community, and
provided backlog for heavy in
dustry.
Declaring unemployment in pri-
vate industry is proceeding rapidly,

of an additional $2,500,000 to the
United States employment service.

other states that had suffered espe-
cially from the drouth, began in
the state house in Des Moines,
where Governor Herring enter
tanned the distinguished visitors at
luncheon. The President and Mr..
Landon, it was said, did most of the
talking at this repast and exchanged
lot of joking remarks. Then the
conference was started in earnest,
each state being taken up in turn.
When it came to Kansas, Governor
Landon presented in manuscript
form a definite plan, in large part
the same as he submitted to Harry
Hopkins two years ago.
Early in the evening Mr.. Roose-
welt entertained the governors at
dinner aboard his special train On
that occasion he and Mr.. Landon
had their most intimate talk. Re
suits of the conference, if any, were
not made public at once, the Presi-
dent reserving announcement of his

4 \ teach the mer. Captains of
industry are invited to take a
lesson from the Kitchen!
The ordinary housewife, so long
with out question overlooked
among workers of any real signi-

own. A seer has OWNED in her
modest labors a real contribution,
or at least avoidance of error,
that holds a lesson for the princes

That seer is the deaf and blind

and its conclusion in the form of a

1t is a story about the Joneses-

Mrs. Jones that her household sys-

or loss-that the trouble must be
in the big business of which her
husband was a leading light.
Timidly, as becomes one of her
modest position and accomplish

gested that he take over for a
while the household management,

France to Spend Vast Sum
for Military Defense
9 western Newspaper Union.

r RANGES government has de-
cided that conditions in Europe
are so threatening that it must spend
a huge sum for national defense.
So it adopted a program for in
creasing the efficiency of the army
which will cost $93O,000, 900 in the
next four years. The proposal was
made by Edouard Daladier, min
lister of defense. The first install
ment of $3.50, 100000 will be dis
bursed in 1887.
The program calls for an in
tensive increase of mechanical
units and also for rearmament.
Furthermore, it provides an in
crease in the size of the professional
army and the creation of special
lied group of long service noncom-
missioned officers such as already
exist in the French navy.
The program also provides for
strengthening the frontier fortifica-
tons. But the chief improvement
will be made in the air force which
will be increased by 1000 planes.
