Previously, Admiral William d.

had informed the House Naval
Affairs Committee that in the
event OF war in the Pacific or in
any other part of the world. the
United States Navy has no un-
derstanding involving assistance
to be given or received. In pre-
vious testimony before the Com
mittee, the Admiral had not dis
cussed the nature of several con-
ferences between British and
American officials. This led to
some speculation on the part of
congressman and the AdmiraFs

any misunderstanding.

Advocates Of a spending pro-
gram, designed to offset business
repressions, recently conferred
with President Roosevelt and re-
ported that he would apply a self
hquidating test to future con-
structiOn projects. While the
Chief Executive was not repre-
sented as urging any immediate
program, his present thought is
that spending projects should ere

return to the Treasury any money
advanced by the Government. He
specifically mentioned as merit
orious projects, the building of
toll bridges and highways, rural
identification and other potential
revenue producers. Among those
failing to meet his objective were
school houses and other public
buildings and battleships. War
ships, in particular, he said,
should not be constructed as re-
employment detectives.

Explanation of the joint action
Of the three countries is to be
found in the agreement between
them to observe the old treaty
limits, subject to an "eScaltor
clause" which permits them to be
disregarded if other powers fail
to limit the size of their naval
plans. Certainly. the formal notes
place the blame for increased
building upon Japan The State
Department pointed out that it
had endeavored to persuade ia
pan TO adhere to fourteen-inch
guns on capital ships but that the
japanese refusal had obliged 9TH
er governments to install sixteen
inch guns.

There is little reason to expect
that the japanese government
will discuss limitation and the
notes were evidently sent IN order
to place upon Japan the onus Of
precipitating the greatest naval
building race IN the worlds his
tory. The japanese Admiralty Is
apparently convinced that the
japanese policy in China requires
a navy impregnable IN the China
Sea and strong enough to keep
out of those waters any combina-
ton of fleets which might seek to
enter them. In fact, officials in
Washington and London are con-
WINGED that Japan is building, or
planning, battleShips of $1,000

most people ends.
Few individuals give proper
consideration to supplying the
body with all the water it needs.
Yet, when the water content of
the body diminishes, health and
life are in danger. A loss of 10
per cent Of body water is a serious
matter and a loss of 20 per cent
is usually fatal.
1t is only in rare instances
such as when lost in a desert
that man actually dies of thirst,
for even when no fluids are drunk,
water is consumed with food. But
all about us we see men and wOm-
en- suffering from the effects of
water starvation. Some indica-
tons of this are dryness of the
skin and lips, mucous membranes
and scalp. There is also danger
Of damaging the kidneys which re-

Bretagne, or Brittany, is situated

of numerous colonies from Great

Questions Answered

Mrs. S. T. R.-Answering your
question as to what is the most
efficient time to begin reducing
the proper time is when the
weight first begins to climb above
normal. Most people wait until
they are 20 or 80 pounds over
weight and then reducing becomes
more difficult.
Miss T. P. G.-Yes, there is a
stimulant in cocoa that closely re-
sembles caffeine in coffee. Bat
cup of cocoa contains less of the
stimulant than is found in a cup
of tea or coffee.
Mrs. A. r. M.-No, milk is not
fattening Women especially fear
that milk will increase their
weight, but this fear is not justi-
fed, since a pint of milk, or two
large glasses, only supplies $40
calories.
