DIPLOMACY OF

ON ARMAMENT
Navy Official Warns U. 5.
Not to Become Another
Ethiopia or China
Bv MACK JOHNSON
Copyright, 1898, by United Press

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. (UP).
The United States must rush an
adequate national defense pro-
gram to defeat "gangster dicCat-
ors" and avoid becoming the
ethiopia or China Of the western
hemisphere," Rear Admiral Clark
H. Woodward, commandant of the
Third Naval district. said yeSter-
day in an interview.
In one Of the frankeSt state
ments on world unrest since PrcSi-
dent Roosevelt proposed his $780,
100000 naval expansion program,
the colorful. 6l-ycar-old COM
mandant of the Brooklyn, n. Y,
navy yard said that the "swagger-
ing bandit lCgions" in Europe and
Asia menace the peace OF the ma
ton.
postwar diplomacy, through
its hypocritical circumlocutions
and doubtful honesty. has sunk to
its lowest levels" he said, "while
loftily worded treaties between
nations are either flagrantly dis
regarded or unceremoniously
ditched without culver of en-
barrassment." He added that dip
lomatic success depends more to-
dav on the calibre of the nations
guns than on the calibre of its
diplomats
Woodward, who has twice won
the Distinguished Service Medal,
once for serving as chairman of
the U. S. electoral mission to
Nicaragua in 1882, said that Ger
tain nations" seeking a Larger
place in the sun" are "terrorizing
the civilized world" and have sab
otaged peace since the end of the
World war.
"This should serve as the hand
writing on the wall, for, if the
United States continues to remain
unprepared, undoubtedly we would
be forced into another World war
should the present saber-rattling
in Europe and Asia produce one"
he said.
He said that security under
"nebulous treaties" is fiction be-
cause the stronger powers "invoke
the law Of the Jungle against the
weaker and that history records
in it's obituary columns" those
nations which are not adequately

Immediately authorize construction
of seven requirements for those
becoming average by 1912.
"The very existence Of a strong
armed force not only prevents at
tack upon vital interests but also
acts as a deterrent ID war by i'm
pressing potential enemies who
rely on armed force themselves"
he said. military empires to the
east and west, with complete i'm
punity, have engaged in banditry
and piracy on a grand scale, treat
ing all protests with contcmptuous
defiance.
Woodward also advocated "pre-
paredness against propaganda by
foreign minded foreign inspired
theorists" seeking to undermine
national security.
He said that "honest lovers Of
peace" are being abetted in their
disarmament campaign by paid
professional propagandists mouth
ing pernicious and poisonous
preachings Of anti-preparedness
zealots, internationalists and COM
munists" in a "long-range effort
to sabotage our national defense"
He suggested "fuIl trust in the
reasoned judgment OF the respon-
sibIe military and naval advisors
who have spent their lives study
ing and practicing their profcs-
sion, rather than listening to those
vapid outpourings."
"The idea that the possession Of
a large efficient navy leads to war
is nothing more than eye wash of
hte armchair pacifists and Is so
idiotic that it does not even merit
rehuttal." he declared.

"Most of the warships con-

RAISING AN FAMILY
Child Should Learn
 "One Good Turn Deserves Another
Deserves
By Olive Roberts Barton

tioning how good you have been and how you have done without a new dress to buy the bicycle, but by gently grating gratitude into your boys or girls character from earliest childhood.
 Every favor deserves a return. An active return. I firmly believe small price to the recipient make that only things that cost some a lasting impression on his emo- tions. What we get comes very often too easily. Then we owe thanks to no one, so we think. What we pay for, ever so slightly, takes on new meaning.
 Suggest Small Sacrifices
 Suppose you have given Jack book he wanted. You did with out gloves to buy it. It won't do much good to say so. But you might suggest that Jack take it to his sick friend, Terry, to read be- fore he, Jack, feasts on it. Then you may say, We pay for our favors, son. l know you are crazy to get into this story. but I'd rather you learned to give when you receive. Terry will be through with it in day or so."
 This advice need not be too strictly followed, for to keep it up would be impossible, but it gives an example of how gratitude is born. Another way would be for Jack to do the dishes. The theory of "one-good- turn" you know. Parents really SOW the seeds of in gratitude when they give and give and refuse any return.
 Take little presents from your child. When you do small favor, show kindly that you expect some sort of acknowledgement in kind, if not at once, then soon. This is not bribery, far from it. En- courage the small attentions of your children. Have them return in spirit any gifts or favors they receive from anyone. Let them walk mile to thank the giver. Let them write letters, and at once, for presents by mail.
 Gratitude? What is it? Only a sense of real appreciation, and to know the effort of giving as well as the ease of receiving.
 Dr. Johnson said once, "Grati- tude is lively sense of favors to come" The satire is perfect. Real gratitude consists of return, if only in heartfelt thanks.

DEVELOP MARlONETTE TYPE THAT ANYONE CAN MAKE

(NEA Service Stan COrreSp0ndent)
 New York.-Less than four years ago, attractive, brown-haired Mrs. Challie Gore put the last stitch in tiny dress she had just made for her youngest daughters newest doll and handed 1t to Janet, then six. Janet showed little, if any, interest in the new gown her mother had spent hours putting together. She finally did put it on the doll, but none too carefully. And she re- fused to play with Dolly or any of Dollys little sawdust pals the rest of that long, dreary, rainy after noon.
 "Then and there,' Mrs. Gore said, T decided to find a substitute for the dolls my children obviously had outgrown. Furthermore, I had a vague notion that it had better be something which would come under the heading of hobby rather than just play. And that it would be pretty nice if the hobby happened to be something which wouldn't bore me to death as the making of dolls dresses often had"
 Start on Shoestring
 She found the substitute. Pup pets. And they more than measure up to both specifications. Mrs. Gore enjoys making puppets and plan ming puppet shows only slightly less than do her children.
 We started out on the proverb- ial shotstring-literally," says Mrs. Gore (The children call her Ruddy). Plus a couple of other pieces of string found in the house, a few scraps of blue cotton and the padding out of three or four old powder puffs. From these, Wilfred the Clown came into being. Out of soap box and another remnant, we made a stage, complete with cur tain and backdrop. Then we prac- ticed until each one of us could make Wilfred do an act on that stage without once losing his bal ance."

Gl0riing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

It's a good idea for the woman who is going to 8 hospital for sev- eral weeks-or even one week-to take along 8 good hairbrush, big bottle of cologne, dusting powder, manicure kit, creams and makeup. It may seem pretty frivolous of any one who is facing an operation to but talk to any girl who ever has think about beauty preparations, been in a hospital and you'll change your ideas.
 In the first place, she'll tell you to plan to get your new permanent wave before you go instead of after dismissal. And she'll tell you how handy you'll find little curlers. That is, providing they are the kind that will be easy for nurse to operate and which won't hurt your head if you try to sleep on them. Ask her to tell you how glad she was that she took dry shampoo preparation and a hairbrush. Illness usually has a bad effect on hair, and it's wise convalescent who starts giving hers exLTd dLlSlltlOIl.
 Use Own Lotions
 If you have the nurse put a little cream on your face after the morrl- ing cleansing and leave it on for fifteen or twenty minutes, also smooth bit of night cream over your face and throat before you go to sleep at night, you won't acquire new lines and wrinkles dur ing your illness.
 And if you have your back rub bed with some of your favorite cologne instead of plain rubbing al- cohol you'll feel less sorry for your- self at night when the lights have been turned out. Furthermore, your own dusting powder probably will make you happier than the regular bath powder used in most hospitals.
 Keep a bottle of hand lotion and jar of cuticle cream on the bed table and use both often. AS soon as you feel up to it, perhaps you could tell your best friend that you would rather have manicure than another bunch of flowers. Unless your doctor objects, there's no req son why manicurist can't sit be- side the bed and do your nails. And let her use bright polish. It will make you feel gayer, perhaps even 8 trifle happier. ..

 There are mushroom flowers in their natural shade or in dyeShades of rust and henna. The natural petals are nothing but slices of dried mushroom wired together neatly to form irregular flowers with a center of four or five little beads. The dyed mushrooms seem to take to their artificial colors eagerly as the dye soaks entirely through them. No one is yet sure whether the plants are subjected to special deodoriz- ing treatment or whether they arc given a good abusing with Chanel No. 5.
 By this time Helm has discovered companion necklace for his pump kin steeds. The new chain is made by stringing together dried lentils. Somehow it is remindful of the days when basswood seeds were strung together.
