states really made us mad.
 February 1917, saw the beginn- ing of Germany's great gamble to win the war. For year she had been building submarines fever ishly, bigger, more effective it's U-boats, and by February first she was ready. She was fairly certain that the sinking of Amer ican ships would bring the Unit ed States into the war against her but figured that wouldn't matter. Counting everything, the United States Army couldn't add up to more than 100000 men, and the National Guard, although streng- thened by border service, had on- ly 15O,OOO part-time soldiers on it's rolls. The United States Navy was just starting to get into shape under the building program adop ted in 1916.
 Those February days saw the German submarines nosing out from their bases along the North Sea with orders to sink every thing in sight. Ship after ship felt the blast of their torpedoes and Englishmen began to wonder what, if anything, they were go- ing to eat.
 On land, February 1917, saw the beginning of the German retreat to the Hindenberg Line. All win ter the German forces in France had been building this powerful defensive line ten to fifteen miles back of their positions. On Feb. "A they began to pull back to this line, intending to sit tight there while the submarines won the war.
 In the east, Russia was crumbl- ing under the beginnings of Bol- shevism and was no longer to be counted on an an effective factor in the war. The Allied countries of the Balkans had been overrun and were practically out of the fight too.
 In the United States, We were going about our jobs, reading our newspapers and trying to picture what would happen to us person. ally if America should be forced into war.
 We all know now what did eventually happen, and as one of the results we see the Congress again pondering over the ques- tion of neutrality. It is possible that a thorough study of those events of 20 years ago might be of service to the Congressmen as they attempt to build barriers against the re-occurrence of war. | -

The subject of oil prospecting permits and rates of royalties and lease rentals on oil lands in Alaska was taken up February 10 at conference held by Assistant Secretary of the interior Walters with other officials of the depart ment and with the delegate.
 It was proposed that the basic royalties on oil production and the rental on leases in the Terri tory be set at just one-haf of that prescribed for similar produc tion and leases in the states. If this plan is approved the mini mum of 12 and one-half percent which is set for production of 5C barrels a day or less in each cal endar month, will be reduced ir Alaska to 6 and one-quarter pe1 cent. Similarly, where oil pro. specting permits filed after May B, 1885, are exchanged for oi land leases carrying an annua rental of 25 cents per acre, tht rental in Alaska will be fixed a 12 and one-half cents per acre.

DEM|NG HIT 5
u. 5. REFORM

Reorganization Of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission under a single ad-
minstrator, as suggested by the
Brownlow report to the President,
has met opposition Of William C.
Deming, former Civil Service Com
mission president.
Mr.. Deming, who served for
eight years as head of the person
mel agency, questioned the wisdom
of supplanting the present bi-par-
tisan board in a statement yester-
day, saying:
ct served nearly eight years as
president of the Civil Service
Commission and know the
value of having the advice and
aid of two associates, even if one
does not always agree with
them.'
The former commissioner also
questioned setting up of a seven
member unpaid board to watch
over" the proposed single admins
traitor, saying the duties of such a
board appear vague at present and
that he didn't see how such mem
bers could be expected to cover
the necessary ground and take the
necessary time without compensa-
ton"

D. E. 'S|TD0WN'
IS DELAYED

A "sit-down" demonstration on
Capitol Hill, scheduled for today
by 2,400 automobile plant work
ers from Baltimore, will not start
until tomorrow.
Announcement of the postpone
ment came from the Maryland
city today as leaders Of the work
men-loyal employees who are not
on strike, but who have been forced
out by lack OF material because
Of the strikes in other plants
made final preparations for the
march on Washington.
The leaders called a meeting
of the workers for tonight when
each group will be given instruc-
tions for the march, which they
expect will be underway before
9 a. m. tomorrow. They hope
to be in Washington before the
House and Senate convene at
noon.
Until today, only 1900 workers
in the Baltimore Fisher Body plant
were affected by the lack Of ma
terial. Today, however, the 1900
employees of the Chevrolet assem-
bly, plant were told that work there
would have to be suspended until
parts could be obtained.
Purpose of the march on Wash
ington is to force immediate &C
ton by Federal officials toward
settlement of strikes in the auto
mobile industry. The workers say
they will "sit" on Capitol Hill until
the strike is settled.

STAND ON OUTER bor-
ders of bare feet while you
brush your teeth.

est position. Practice walk that
points the toes straight ahead
with the weight inclined toward
the outer borders.
1t is particularly important for
heavy people to carry their weight
correctly. as even with normal
weight the foot is subject to
strain in incorrect weight-bearing.
A high arch can be weak and a
low arch can be strong, or the
other way around. It's not the
height of the arch that causes
aches and pains, it's the lowering
of the arch in weight-bearing that
causes the trouble.
Walking a chalk line will help
to strengthen your feet. Try it..
Place one foot directly ahead Of
the other, with the toes curled
under and the weight thrown to
the outer borders of the feet.
Take this foot exercise without
shoes.
A little foot exercise goes a
long way, as you will be glad to
know. An instructor who special
ICES in corrective exercises for
the feet says that if you will
stand on the outer borders of
your feet, without shoes, while
brushing the teeth night and
morning the arches will gradually
be strengthened by even this
small amount of exercise.
Picking up objects with the
toeS-jacks, marbles, pencils or
a small dumbbell-has proved ef-
fective foot exercise. Sit on a
chair and pick up the objects,
one at time, in the toes. Cross
the foot over the knee and drop
the jacks or marbles into the
hand.
Try the grip walk, as advised by
Lillian Drew. Step forward with
one foot, and as the weight is
brought forward, grip strongly
with the advanced foot. Relax the
grip as the next step is taken, grip
with the other foot.
II you are CenQerIOOt, contrast
baths are helpful. Place the feet
in hot water for a second or two,
then in cold water to stimulate
circulation. Rub briskly with
stiff brush.
Short stockings are almost as
bad as short shoes for buckling
the toes. Both make the toes curl
up unnaturally and will give you
anything from bunions to arthritis.
Change your stockings daily, and
II you are on your feet a great
deal of the time, a change of shoes
is as good as rest.
You may think your feet get
plenty Of exercise, but if they hurt
it's the wrong kind of exercise.

By IDA JEAN KAHN

There's nothing Ike aching IteJ
to put lines in your face and give
you a desperate expression.
Runover heels are visible evi-
dence that you are walking in

whole length of the arch and you
do not run your heels over. With

3 More Victims Die As Inquiry Board Checks
All Possible Causes to Be Followed Up; Sabotage Suggestion Still Held;
 Many Survivors Questioned
By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Staff Correspondent

Lakehurst, N J., May 8.-UP)-The 34th and 35th victims of the Hndenburg disaster died today while federal board of inquiry pried into it's mys teres promising thorough investigation of all pos sible causes into suggestions of sabotage
 William Speck, the Hindenburg's chief radio op- orator died in New York hospital at $40 a. m. (EDT). Soon afterward Erich Knoecher of Zeun- enorda Germany, passenger, died in another hospi- tal They followed by 12 hours the death of Captain Ernst Lehman, heir apparent to the dirgble fame of Dr. Hugo Eckener. The new deaths speeded the fed- eral investigation in which the bureau of air merce enlisted the aid of naval and army experts gressional technicians New Jersey officials and rep resentative of the German ambassador.
 Second Inquiry by Germans
 second inquiry will be undertaken by German government commission headed by Dr. Eckener, chief of the Zeppelin Works which sails for the United States today aboard the liner Europa.
 "If there plausible evidence of sabotage in ton with the explosion which destroyed the Hndenbg we will thoroughly investigate that angle of the disaster said Assistant Secretary Commerce Monroe Johnson after announcing that public hearings would open here on Monday.
 First mention of sabotage had come from Dr. Eckener, but after study complete the disaster, he said that the likelihood of deliberate destruction of the giant airship "sees very small" Nevertheless said that obviously the possibility of sabotage also must be examined"

7H0MS IS NOT
 FROZEN IN JOB
Swayne's Charge Is Un=
 founded; Appointment Only for 4 Years

Representative John D. Thoms is
 not frozen in" on his new position as Statute Revision Commissioner Nominated for the new post by Governor Wilbur l.. Cross and rati- fled during the past week by the Senate, Attorney Thoms will hold his position only for four years, un- less renominated and again rati- fled.
 Representative Noah D. Swayne Of Darien, g. o. p. leader of the house of representative, was in error early this week when he charged Governor Cross with rushing through the nomination of Repre- sentative Thoms before the passage of the merit system bill so that the Waterbury man could be frozen in".
 Under the provisions of the mer- it system bill no one who holds a position requiring ratification from the legislature can be frozen in". Representative ThomS, therefore, is not included in the clauses of the new civil service measure passed past week.
 By the words frozen in" is meant that those appointive state employ es now working for Connecticut need not take civil service examin- ations to hold their posts. All tu- ture state employees will have to pass an examination before being hired. Several persons from Water bury will benefit by the merit sys- tenn bill enacted during the past week. Among them are the members of the local staff of the motor ve- hicle office, Marvin Lawlor and John F. Robinson of the state tax department, Charles F. Harder of the controllers office, Louis Lerz of the state office building service staff, and others.
 Representative ThomS' term is for four years and when it expires he will have to seek reappointment or be succeeded by the choice of the states chief executive in office at that time.
