enough of that commodity himself.
Still it would have weight, he knew,
with Ben and Rodney and their
confreres. He had noticed that the
men did not hover around her as
they did some of the other girls
and now they explained that this
was because of some characteristic
which in their lingo was indicated
by "dumbness.
The next week was crowded with
beach suppers, hatless, GREATNESS
motor drives along the curving
shore road-sunny hours of swim
ming and tennis and later hours of
dancing and card playing. Besides
for Kitty and Dick there was a
geological survey up the side of a
hill five miles inland, arranged for
six o'clock one morning so that it
might not conflict with the program
arranged by Dorothy for Kitty's en-
tertainment.
To ask a girl to go pebble hunt
ing at six o'clock in the morning
was further proof that Dick was a
nut-and of course any girl who
would consider such an invitation
in the light of anything but joke
was hopelessly dumb. Still in one
way both Dick and Kitty were pop
ular. It was Dick who always found
it convenient to 'change a bill"
when the crowd had stopped at a
roadside inn for refreshments. His
two new cars were always ready
for anyone who wanted to drive.
Two weeks later, after Kitty had
gone home and Dick and Rodney
and most of the other men had gone
back to the city after their sum-
mer holidays, Ben and Margery
Kelly, lingering on the beach with
Dorothy, discussed Kitty.
II know Kitty wouldn't mind my
telling you of her enga cement, :"
said Margery. II suppose everyone
guessed it anyway. Kitty's imma-
ture and rather dumb, but she's a
nice girl
maybe she's not so dumb after
ALL" suggested Ben. "She did quick
work with Dick all right And
Dicks decent fellow and he's got
lot of money even if he is nut
II don't know whether Dick is
such a nut anyway" observed
Katherine. "He was chosen out of
two or three hundred applicants as
head of some geological survey
from college. You said yourself he
was the one fellow in the crowd
who was likely to make his name
in the world"
''Well, of course, there's that, -
said Ben indolently, but he was
thinking neither of Kitty nor Dick
rather wondering to himself
whether in all the world there was
a more deliciously fashioned pair
of lips than those Of Dorothy Blaine.

NOT SO
DUMB

600 YOU rather liked Dick Good
- win, did you? Well, Dicks not
bad-but he's something of nut.
He doesn't get far with any of us
girls
Kitty Diapers twenty year old
hostess, Dorothy Blaine, looked
with an expression OF mild COM
passion on her guest as they sat
in the living room of the Blaine
summer home after the Sunday aft
ernoon tea party when Dorothy had
introduced her guest to the young
men and girls with whom n
played round" during the summer.
Kitty was twenty-she ought to be
better Judge. Now, of all the
men she had met the one she men
toned specially was Dick Goodwin.
Just another proof of Kitty's de-
fciency. Kitty was dear and rath-
er pretty, but still really little
dumb.
Kitty tried to defend herself. II
didn't say I was crazy about Dick
Goodwin. You asked me which one
of the men I liked most, and l just
said that I had had very interest
ing conversation with him. We got
to talking about hobbies and he
mentioned the fact that he was in
terested in geology. So he talked
about geology
'Dick would talk about geology.
Meets a pretty girl for the first
tirne-a girl who is willing to talk
with hin-and he talks about geol-
ogy. That's really precious. Didn't
I say he was nut?'
''But why shouldn't man talk
about geology-if he's interested in
it,"
Doesn't have to talk about any
thing, silly-that way. I mean, at
tea party like this mans just
expected to sort of kid and oh,
you know-banter-light talk"
Meantime Dick had been driven
home in one of his own cars with
the Hurley girls, Rodney S e e,
Ben and MaEgery Kelly and Stella
Bates. Wedged in the back seat
between Margery and Stella he was
listening in some surprise to COM
ments about Kitty.
ooh she's pretty enough" bah
bled Margery, land I hear she has
quite bit Of money in her own
name, and she can dance we'll and
all that. I see what Dorothy means,
though-she is dumb"
''What do you mean, dumb"
asked Dick in surprise.
"Just dumb. You know what I
mean," Margery said.
At first Dicks interest in the
dumbness of Kitty was quite self
ish. Here was girl that had struck
him as entirely charming She had
money, which wasn't anything to
him because Dick happened to have

ON SHIPS PLANNED
Naval Conference Proposes
New Formula to Save
London ParIey.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, February 1.-THE Inter-
national Naval Conference, seeking a
substitute for the expiring Washington
and London naval limitations treaties,
worked out today a formula for re-
striction of battleships to a maximum
of 35 900 tons
An agreement on this program was
probable, authoritative sources said,
after Viscount Monsell, first lord Of
the British admiralty, and Norman H.
Davis, head of the American delega-
ton, undertook strong conciliatory ef-
forts on behalf of the formula.
French opposition to large battle
ships had been strong. but authorita-
tive spokesmen said the formula would
be worded in such way as to preserve
some of the French viewpoints while
setting the battleship maximum at the
$4,000 tons favored by the Americans.
Viscount Monsell called a private
meeting of the heads Of the American,
British. French and Italian delegations
today to discuss the formula, which
was expected to be ready tomorrow for
adoption by the Technical Committee
The treaty would be in force for five
or six years, in such form as to be
open for the signatures of Japan. which
withdrew from the conference, and all
other naval powers.
American delegates gave evidence Of
great satisfaction at indications that
the formula would be accepted, in view
of earlier possibilities that the confer
ence might fail.
The Italians, as well as the French,
had called for smaller maximum bat
tleship tonnage than the American
proposals for $4,000 tons, tentatively
decided upon for the compromise for
mula.
The Technical Committee also be-
gan drafting sections of proposed
new treaty to deal with other types
of warships.

that the issuance Of postage stamps

tries"
Eden was asked by Lord Apsley
whether Great Britain had taken any
steps to object to the stamps and
whether any international convention
exists to prevent the issue of mislead-
ing stamps of this kind"
Eden answered: "In so far as the is
sue by the Argentine government OF

assertion of an Argentine claim to the
Falkland Islands, welcome the op-
portunity of stating that his majesty's
government cannot admit any such
claim to the Islands, which are British

but his majesty's Ambassador in

no useful purpose can be served by the

Saito declared his country has mo

The envoy laughed when newsmen
told him of a speech by Senator Lewis,
Democrat. of Illinois, predicting q
Russo-Japanese alliance to control
Asia and bar Americans.
THAT is something new and novel,"
Saito declared. up to now, all the
talk has been about the possibility of
war between Soviet Russia and Japan.
I do not, of course, expect that"
In Toxic, newspapers played up the
Pittman speech. A foreign Office
spokesman declared signatories of the
nine-power treaty had no right to
review Japan's action because of what
she has done in Manchuria or China.
The newspaper Asahi quoted high
official of the foreign office as saying:
Japan is seeking to establish peace
in the Far East and never intended
to violate the open door principle nor
to claim a monopolistic position in the
Orient"
Lewis, who was stricken with pneu-
monia while visiting Russia last Fall,
drew applause during yesterdays Sem
ate discussion as he warned against
Japanese-Russian alliance and
termed American withdrawal of hege-
mony in the Philippines a great
blunder.'
Sees Attack Through Alaska.
He said the first step under the
proposed alliance would be directed
against the United States through
Alaska. with Japan counting on her
vast naval strength and the Soviets
on their army and large air force.
I'VE are only 10 miles from Russia,
Lewis said, alluding to the proximity
of Alaska to Russian Siberia.
He agreed with Pittman that Amer
lea had been LAX in strengthening
its Navy" and cautioned the Nation
to "see the preparations for war in
tended against U.S."
Also, like Pittman, Lewis deplored
the activities of peace groups that
condemn the Congress for voting ap-
preparations for the Navy" and "over-
look the fact that the only defense
for their sons is complete and suff1-
cient Navy"
Senator Borah Of Idaho, ranking
Republican on the Foreign Relations
Committee, of which Lewis also Is q
member, entered the discussion with
an observation on Pittman's express

ference of the National Committee on

Grover Clark of Wellesley College
