NO MORE ROUGH STUFF


Because of the Panama Canal, the
United States simply must keep
the Caribbean belt contented, or at
least quiet. Time was when it was
done by sending troops down among
them. But not any more For a
score of years or more the U. S.
has been winning the Latin Ameri-
cans over to sort of hemispherical
cooperative. 1t is big departure
from old time
Why, there was a time right in
Nicaragua when the United States
didn't like the president. His name
was zelaya. He was British and
threw all the trade concessions to
British business interests. We want
ed some of them. And how did we
get them? When the inevitable rev.
olution of those days started, we
threw our influence behind it-and
out went zelaya.
That happened under President
Taft, but it wasn't exclusively a
Republican trick. President Wilson
did it with Huerta in Mexico, and
for the same reasons basically. One
reason was that he was throwing
all the oil concessions to the Brit
ish.
Diplomacy and business went
along together Disturbances in
the Banana Belt always invited
foreign interference, and because
of the need of keeping the Panama
Canal far from the reach of alien
hands the United States had to
preserve stable government. Peace
also was necessary for Ameri-
can business interests. Diplomatic
pressure and even troops were
used in Nicaragua, Haiti and San
Domingo to keep the peace and
protect business. In return. U. S,
banks cooperated by making loans
which helped to buy out foreign in

BRITISH AND FRENCH ARE
INVOLVED IN BLOCKADES

Tientsin, China, June l4.-(AP)-
japanese gendarmes, aided by Chi
nese police, blockaded the British
and French concession today, in eff
feet cutting the flow of all goods to
a combined population of about 120,-
900, No fresh foods entered the con-
ceSsion today, and prices leaped
about so percent. There was an I'M
mediate scarcity.
officially, the passage of such sup
plies was not barred, but Chinese
carriers, fearing charges of anti
Japanism, brought virtually no food
into the concession. Dozens of food
laden junks were seen on the Hal
river, but none unloading at the con-
cessiOn docks.
The restrictive measures were
taken as a result Of refusal by Brit
ish concession authorities to relinquish
four Chinese whom the Japanese ac-
cused of Staying a Chinese official OF

CHAPTER ELEVEN

THE THOUGHT came to Sarah
Anne, standing at the bottom of
the wide, white steps that led to
Judith's veranda, that the lilac
scent from the Towering bushes
was unbearably sweet. Then she
forgot the lilacs, for the man spoke
again, and it was Jack. She knew
it, though emotion, bewildered and
revolving, hurt and seeking, dis
colOred the tones until only traces
of the voice she knew came
through.
But what's it all about, Judy?
Why did this happen to us? God
knows, we didn't want it, toor"
mot for all the stars in the
sky!" Judy's voice was GREATNESS,
low, infinitely sad, yet-yet joyful,
too.
Il love you. want to put it in
words, Judy. But now that it's said,
you must never think of it again,
never remember I said it. We
aren't going to hurt Sarah Anne"
His voice became rough in it's fierce
determination.
Il can get along with those three
words forever" Judy was saying
proudly. go ahead, Jack, forget
you said them. But won't. And
that will be enough"
Sarah Anne couldn't see Judy,
but she knew how she must look:
tall and fair and bright, her cour-
age shining like scimitar that you
felt though you could not see it.

And Jack

the steps drew nearer = near
enough to see the other girl walk
into their shelter.
Then she knew, swiftly and
clearly, what she must do. Knew it
just as though still small voice
had commanded her. It was as
though she had been walking to-
ward this moment for days.
She ran up the steps, treading
firmly so her sandal heels would
make a sound against the steps.
Then she managed a low laugh.
Jack Judy you dar-
lings, is it REAL?"
They moved apart. She saw the
amazement in their eyes. Saw the
quickness with which each strove
for careless note, one that would
make the kiss a casual farewell,
given in laughter by a boy to al
girl who had been nice to him for
an evening.
She saw how they CROPPED for the
right words, and she spoke before
they found them.
I'm so glad! Nothing any,
thing could make me happier! Oh,
what load you've rolled away
from my shouldersr'
She sat down on the low balus-
trade. Not because she wanted to
sit, but because her legs wouldn't |
support her.

toward her.

she had reached the conclusion |
though he held the same one.
She laughed again. Something
of the sort. And isn't it lucky you
were getting your eyes opened,
too? I can't think of anything more
wonderful than you two-you and |

She stayed while the bewilder-
ment and fear in their faces gave
way to joy and calmness. She heard
them tell her she would always be
their closest friend.

ONE of my readers has asked me
to discuss the disease known as
Shingles" what causes them"
and what can be done for "them."
To the best Of my ability I will
comply, although I usually avoid the
topic because what can be done for
it could be put into a very small
space indeed.
Shingles is of much more interest
to the medical profession than it is
to the patient. The medical profess
sion has learned a great deal from
the study Of shingles about nerve
distribution in the skin. In fact,
nearly all we know about the sub
ject has come from DIR. Henry
Heads study of patients with
shingles.
Excruciating Pain
From the patients viewpoint,
shingles presents itself first as an
excruciating pain. This pain is usu-
ally around the ribs or the waist,
although shingles can occur any
where that nerves go in the skin.
A second favorite spot is on the
