Australian Uvertures
Cincinnati Enquirer

Ausraa's request for full diplomatic relations with the United States is significant first of all for the light it throws Japans threatening tactics, second for its implication of Britains strategic weak ness in the Far East and, third as measure of the new power of the United States in world politics.
 Australia is a nation of 100000 people spread around the fringes of whole continent. It has as many people as New York City, in an area virtually as great as that of the continental United States. Its cardinal policy is the maintenance of white population Each move Japan has made to the south has increased the apprehension of the Aus tralians who know how attractive their empty acres mus took to the land-hungry Japanese
 In the past Australia depended on Britain's na- val power, based at Singapore and Hong Kong, for her security But it has become plain in recent years and particularly last autumn, that Britain will have her hands full in the North Sea and the Mediter- ranean if war comes. Consequently, Australia has begun in earnest to develop defense machine But people numbering only 7000000-one-half the pop uaton of the Philippines hope alone to com bat the aggreSsions of a great power like Japan. This is the true because Australia is not highly developed ndustriaIly.
 That is where the United States enters the cal culations. Of course, the Canberra Government is not being so crude about it. We would assume no responsibility for the defense of Australia in accept ing her offer to open formal diplomatic relations an acceptance already insured. But the way would be paved once ministers exchanged, for closer political relationship which perhaps would add something to Austraas sense of security

 cent of the nations income.
 That explains why farmers are discontented and forever threaten ing to use their voting power. And why Congress listens to the farmer and subsidies him increasingly, year by year. ta SPENDING: Sisa
 Government debt has been dou- bled in the last six years. A share of the money has been going to the farmer.
 The regular expenses of the Ag- ricultural Department account for only $l00,00O000 a year Roads ac- count for 200 millions more. The rest of the 9O0-odd millions being spent this year goes for new ex- periments, direct payments to farm- CTS for crop control, soil conserva- ton, loans on their surplus pro- duction and extra payments to help bring their income up to the relative level of other groups. These last arae parity payments FEDERAL CONTROLS:
 The farmer has not escaped the general tendency of government to regulate business. To get the fed eral bounty offered him, he must conserve soil, cut down crop acreage or perhaps limit crop sales. Friends of these ideas insist that we must control our huge surplus crops and save our soil from ruin. Enemies insist these controls put gun al the farmers head, leaving him nc individual freedom.
 Then there's the 50-million dollal cotton export subsidy in the Senate bill. That adjusts an artificial do mestic price to the natural world price and the cotton exporter cries too much regulation" Cotton ex- ports bring us to # OUR VANISHING EXPORT MARKET:

 LIGHT FURS ARE
 POPULAR NOW
 Hollywoods idea of how to bridge the gap between summer and fall Is to wear light colored furs and bright wool dresses. It's a luxury fashion, of course, because these waist and hiplength jackets of bleached nutria and Chinese kid skins are in-between-season wraps, too light in shade to double very well as mid.winter furs. They're short-sleeved, too, the better to show their long-sleeved, sheer wool frockS of China tea Ca green chartreuse, dusty pink, gray, yellow-beige and the popular fuchsia.)
 Another Indian-summer fashion is suede, new because 1t is handled exactly like fabric. There's no hint of Old Hank the Trapper in these new leather dresses. Instead there are dressmaker touches with bodice shirring, squared shoulders, and pipings of contrasting colored suede.

TRENCH MOUTH

From the number of inquiries re- ceived I infer that Vincent's angina or trench mouth Is far less prev alent today than it was five or ten years ago. Apparently people have learned to avoid unnecessary expos- ure to the infection. I say appar- ently. This explanation for the de- creased number of inquiries about "trench mouth" may be incorrect. Another communicable disease which was extremely common five or ten years ago is foot itch, athletes foot" dermaphytosis, ringworm, fun gus, tinea, as it is variously known, Inquiries about this, too, have di- unfinished greatly in number, com pared with the grand total received, and I have assumed that people generally are more careful about eX- posture, as in walking barefoot in a hotel room, bath, swimming pool or gymnasium.
 In the course of the peak of the trench mouth epidemic in 1927 Dr, Jos. c. Bloodgood suggested that all dentists (dentors to mel, even when sore mouth was not evident, should give a treatment with sodium per- borate before and after dental treat ment.
 Sodium perborate may be made into thin paste by moistening 1t with water. This paste is spread over all the teeth and gums with the clean fingers, especially over any red or ulcerated (raw) areas on gums, tongue, lips or inside of cheeks. Hold tho paste in the mouth five minutes. It foams more or less in the mouth. Then rinse mouth gently with warm water. Such treatment carefully applied once a day clears up trench mouth in most cases.
 For regular proyhylactic use, or as mouthwash or gargle against infections in general, solution of a good big pinch of sodium perbor- ate in an ounce or two of water just enough for one application - may be used daily.
 The mouth sores of Vincent's an- gina or trench mouth" are some- times mistaken for leucoplagia (white patches, smokers patches) or for galvanic sore mouth (to be described later) or for simple can- ker sores, or for alteration produc- ed by the irritation of jagged ol broken teeth-incipient stage of cancer, or for the primary sore (chancre) or the secondary sores (mucous patches) of syphilis. I hope It will neither frighten needlessly nor give unwarranted assurance ir the exceptional case when l say that 1t is good plan to submit the problem to the skilled judgment oi your doctor and dentor If the sore mouth does not respond promptly to the sodium perborate treatment.
 Trench mouth Is communicated usually via eating and drinking utensils which have not been prop. erly sterilized by washing with hot water and soap, and by unsterilizee instruments and via kissing. IT some instances the germ may bt carried in mouth spray given of ir conversation, just as all of the re. spiratory infections are ordinarily carried.

GlorUing Yourself
NEA Service Stan Writer
By Alicia Hart


 "Prepare to sec yourself as new woman this autumn, but don't get so excited about bustles, basques, etcetera, that you forget the funoa- mentals of good dressing-fine quai- ity, good lines, perfect fit and suit ability to your way of life.'
 This is advice compiled from the opinions of seven outstanding fashion authorities-among them Miss Mary Lewis, vice-president of A smart Fifth Avenue shop; well- known male designer of fine cos- tune jewelry; and a creator of hats.
 This is advice worth taking ser- iously, too-particularly the part about suitability to your way of life. A wardrobe composed entirely of hustle dresses would be as un- satisfactory for a business woman as one including only simple wool shirtwaisters would be for a social ties whose life is a round of parties.

The new fall dresses are slim waisted and fairly full-skirted. Two piece frocks, especially those using two materials, are favorites. Waist lines have not descended noticeably.
 There are some modified bustles such as back shirrings and drapings, a detachable hustle that ties on with bow in the front and which may be discarded later without running the lines of the frock, and there are few coats with back fullness that suggest bustles.
