The two greatest similar trusts
heretofore were the General Edu-

Foundation, established by John

HUGE ASSETS
The General Education Board,
established in 1903 to promote
education in the United States
without distinction of race, sex
or creed'' had assets of $129, ,000, 900
at the time of the death of Rocke-

tion, created in 1918 by Rocke-
feller, jr., to promote the we'll

than $182, 100000.
The Mellon Trust, it is believed,
will top these and all others, with
the latest Mellon bequest to it
amounting perhaps to as high as
$3.50, 100000 if not higher. The
trust, founded in 1880. has already

Japan's Decision Awaited
In Move to Halt Arms Race
international News Service

On the single decision Of Japan
today hinged the fate of . dra'
matte move by President RooSe'
welt to halt q wide open inter
national ornaments race.
In the first bid to curb the
worlds naval might since expira-
ton of the Washington and Lon
don Naval Treaties December 81,
ended q 15-year "gentleman'S
agreement" not to build beyond
certain limits, Mr.. Roosevelt has
appealed to the great powers to
hold naval guns to q 14-inch maxi
mum.
The White House and other
world capitals awaited with un.
disguised anxiety the final word
from Nippon.
Three Others Agree
Three other major powers In
addition to the United States
Great Britain, France and Italy
have assured the President they
would not arm their battleShips
Win guns IN excess o. IA AnCLAeS
if all agreed.
Japan has been the chief oh.
jector to any limitation. and un-
official reports from Tokyo said
the foreign office had turned
thumbs down on the proposal.
The State Department said no Of
fetal decision had yet been com
n1unicated by Japan.
; Two Battleships Planned
The United States will lay the
keels for two, 35,O00-ton battle
ships to cost 100000, 900 each
next. month. Secretary Swanson
said the Navy would decide in
July whether these Super-dread'
naughts would carry nine 16-ineh
or 10 14-inch guns.

JAPS, u. 5. PAT
ON BIG GUNS
:. FOR SHIPS

TOKYO, June 10 O.N.S0-At
least two nations, the United
States and japan, today prepared
to mount 16-inch or even larger
guns on their new battleShips as
Japan's formal refusal to limit
naval ornaments to IA inches was
transmitted by Foreign Minister
Koki Hirota to United States Am
bassador Joseph c. Grew.
, Japan's attitude to any restric-
tions on the size Of her navy or
its guns remains unchanged"
Hirota told Grew.
y American naval circles here said
the United States would meet any
competition in the caliber of guns
offered by Japan. If, as some re-
ports said, Japan mounts 18-inch
guns, so will the United States on
her two 35,000-ton battleShipS,
keelS of which will be laid next
month.
Washington'S request for Japa-
rleSe adherence to that part Of the
1885 London naval treaty limiting
guns to IA inches came as q final
effort to break Japan's adamant
stand. Whether Britain, France,
and Italy, which had already sub
scribed to the gun limit, will follow
suit in arming their ships with
mighty 16-inchers remained I'M
certain.

 SAN FRANCISCO, March IT, Charges that San Francisco police were collecting a million dollars annually and a graft of three hun dred and twenty-four thousand dollars, which comes from houses of prostitution appeared, Tuesday, in the final report on the investi- gation by Edwin N Atherton, who spent sixty thousand dollars in more than a year in his inquiry.
 The investigator was a former Justice Department Agent, who said that the uninforcibility of the law against prostitution, gam bling and other alleged vices, ac- counted for the graft system, and recommended the repeal of these avs and licensing such activities on the theory that it couldn't be stopped. In fact he said such licensing will not increase gambl ing or prostitution, but would re- duce graft and tribute by one hundred and twenty thousand dol lars.
 All principals named by Ather- ton as involved in the graft, issu- ed sweeping denials of his charges and bitterly assailed the investi- gator. Several damage suits were threatened.

tricks in clubs, upon the second Of
which he could have discarded his
only diamond. East played his
lowest diamond, lest he might
enable declarer to establish that

West saw the 40 of both dunn

To lead either one of them would
be useless. West was studying
dummy to defeat the contract, II
possible, not to assist declarer to
go game. AS far as West could see
the only opportunity to defeat the
contract was In case his side held
both Ace and X of hearts, and pro.
vided also that West could obtain
a ruff of that suit. 1t would do
West no good to lead a low heart,
even if his partner held the missing
Ace. as a return heart lead would

Having made up his mind, West

Z. Vests last heart was led. The
Ace took the third defensive trick.
Back came a heart and West
ruffed, thereby defeating the con-
tract trick. 1t was the only pos
sible method of putting down the
contract.
In this particular case, dummy's
cards plainly show that Vests
only hope of defeating the contract
lies in leading his X of hearts at
the second trick. No expert could

Teething Not Cause
Vomiting, diarrhea and conv,ll-

teething. This simple explanation
may be satisfactory, but it leaves

The formation and development
OF the teeth is a part of the nat

change taking place In the body In
this process which could make the
child sick. OF course it is true that
the period Of teething comedies
with the period of the infectious
diseases and Of many upsets due to
cnange in the digestive canal and
an increase In the variety and
amount of food eaten, but no par
emf should be satisfied with the
diagnosis of teething as a cause of
any serious trouble in childhood.

for every i'll, and as teething per-

Fevers, for instance, was almost

I remember being in consulte ton in
