POLICY FOR THE
FAR EAST

Washington-A three-point policy
to- keep the United States out of the
Far Eastern conflict was urged to-
day by the National Council for Pre-
vention of War, nations largest un-
endowed peace organization.
The Administration should: (1)
Set a date for evacuation of our ma
tionals from the war area, after
which those who remain do so at
their own risk; (2) withdraw our
military and naval forces fromChina
Immediately after that date; co ap-
ply the neutrality law now to China
and Japan.
These measures, the Council stat
ed, are clearly in accord with the
demand of the American people and
the mandate of Congress to stay out
of foreign wars, as expressed in the
neutrality law.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION

The easiest and surest way 10 en-
joy the distinction of living to a ripe
old age is to properly care for that
God-given mechanism-your bouy.
There are no spare parts for sale at
bargain counters. When one of your
vital organs fails prematurely, thro-
ugh neglect or hard use, you're fin
ished. With the blessings of modern
medical science that now exist, there
is little excuse for this happening.
Recently life insurance company.
in it's advertising, stressed the i'm
portance of taking the tuDerculin
test. This little test adequately prov
es the soundness of the Old adage
that IAN ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" You should
make it your business 10 investigate
the tuberculin test and protect your
self and your children with it.

PRIZE FIGHTS TOP ALL RADIO
PROGRAMS

A prize fight is not regarded as
the most important, educational, SOC
ial. sporting or human event of the
times But prize fights appear to draw
listeners from one-half the popula-
ton of the United States, which is far
in excess of any, and all other classes
Of broadcastings.
No one minimizes the Importance
Of a broadcast by the President OF
the United States, but the figures OF
increased power in radio receiving
sets and the complete survey made
of the Preside chats-even the one
in which President Roosevelt dis
cussed relief-showed that not half
as many people listened to these pro,
grams as to the fights.
When King Edward broadcast his
''swan song" the listening audience
in the United States was 40 to SO
per eent-whereas big prize fights
have far exceeded even that big audi
ence. Great football games and TOP
commercial and musical programs
do not get such whooper audiences.

How Bothersome Fly May
Be Avoided This Summe

If you want to be spared the
nuisance of flies, have somber wall
paper and use dark covers for your
furniture, says Raoul France, noted
Vienna physicist.
France explains that flies, through
many thousand years, have been
accustomed to associate sweetness
with light colors. In contrast to
butterflies, which prefer red and
blue flowers, and to bees, which like
purple and dark yellow ones, flies
only seek honey on flowers of light
colors.
Flies cannot, or can hardly, per-
ceive any colors aside from white,
light yellow or light blue, accord
ing to this scientist, who asserts
that a fly will never be found on a
dark carnation or on red rose.
Flies are always attracted by
light colors and shining surfaces
such as mirrors and windows, and
for this reason white fypaper should
be used by preference.

Sunhower Was Important
to American Aborigines

Sunfowers amongst the American
aborigines occupied a place of i'm
portance. South American Indians
of the Inca empire saw in this flow
er that turned to the sun in his daily
fight a representation of the Sun
god himself. AS such it received
their abject generation; priestesses
wore replicas upon their breasts
wrought from native gold; it's seeds
were eaten in religious ceremonies,
according to a writer in the Mont
real Herald.
Other Indians esteemed it highly
and recognized the nutritive value
of it's seeds. Long before the white
man came they had learned to rel
ish the oily taste. So much did
they think of these seeds, set in the
flower head "as though cunning
workman had of purpose placed
them in very good order much like
the honey-combe of BEES" that reg
ularly they were included in the
foodstuffs placed alongside the de,
parted to help along in the journey
to the next world. In fact, Indians
from one end of America to the
other had knowledge of the sun
flower, along with ideas and beliefs
concerning it.

When Water Freezes

When water freezes the ice has a
volume about 9 per cent larger
than that of the water from which
it was formed. If water fills, or
nearly fills, closed space, and
is allowed to freeze, the ice which
forms will have a larger volume
than the water, and as result a
pressure tending to burst the con-
tainer will develop. The pressure
which may be developed increases
about 10000 pounds in change of
temperature from 80 degrees Fab
renheit to minus 8 degrees Fahren-
heit. If the container is strong
enough to withstand a pressure in ex-
cess of 30, 900 pounds per square inch
or can stretch enough to increase
about per cent in volume, it will not
burst, even if subjected to a very
low temperature, says the United
States Bureau of Standards.
