British merchantmen employed in

knots, enabling them to clear the

that Karl grabbed the fish.
Although it did not help to feel
sorry for the poor animal, just
the same, it was hard to lose the
shipmate that had been sleeping
at his feet in the bunk, Karl
thought when he was relieved
from his watch on deck and went
into the forecastle. There to his
surprise was the cat, who was all
wet, lying in his usual place.
The following day Karl Svens-
son discovered that one of the sail
ors had been washing clothes, had
rinsed them by tying a rope
around them and throwing them
overheard, and then had forgotten
to haul them up. The cat had
drifted against the rope and had
climbed aboard on it.

A man cannot knock about the

The outlook for the United Ma

from division chairmen under Will

100 used, but still good uniforms
have been turned in to the drive.

would give shop worn material to
the campaign, one store having al

MEXICAN WATER
PACT RATIFIED

WASHINGTON, April 18.-P)-
The Senate today ratified the Unit
ed States-Mexico treaty for distri-
button of waters of the Colorado
river and Rio Grande.
The water convention was adop-
ted subject to the understanding of
series of senatorial reservations
defining and interpreting provis-
ions and terms of the document.
No amendments were alta ched.
;. The highly controversial pact
was approved rs to 10 after nearly
three months of intermittent COM
mittee hearings and debate on the
Senate floor.
The treaty provides for a divis-
ion of the waters of the two riv-
ers and for collaboration between
the two countries in preparing
plans for utilizing waters of the
Tijuana river.
Mexico must ratify the treaty
before it becomes a binding agNe-
1nent between the two countries.
Reservations define the authority
of the boundary commission which
should administer the pact; set
forth that private property rights
in the United States must be pro-
tected; provided for certain Con-
gressional controls; and specifical-
ly limited the Mexican yearly allo-
cation of water from the Colorado
river to 100000 acre feet of water
annually.
Ratification was opposed by Cali
fornia and Nevada senators who
asserted that the Mexican water
guarantee would imperil Ameri-
can development in the South
west.

Poor Digestion? ii c ::

Sour or Upset? 90
Tired-listless? %

Do you feel headachy and upset due to
poorly digested food? To feel cheerful
and happy again your food must be
digested properly.
Each day, Nature must produce about
two pints Of vital. digestive juice to
help digest your food. If Nature fails,
your food may remain undigested-
leaving you headachy and irritable.
Therefore, you must increase the flow
of this digestive juice. Carter's Little
Liver Pills increase this flow quickly
often in as little as 80 minutes. And,
you're on the road to feeling better.
Don't depend on artificial aids to
counterfeit ndigestion-when Carter's
Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma
lures own order. Take Carter's Little
Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any

past practice of dealing with
large group Of employees on sub
stantialv different terms and con-
ditions from those applicable to
the clerks could be productive OF
much "discord and factionallsm'
and should be eliminated.
The board recommended that
the carriers proposal regarding
formalization Of sick leave plan,
which differed slightly from that
advanced by the union, be made
part of the agreement.
The unions request that en-
ployes accustomed to being allow,
ed Saturday afternoons off be paid
when required to work Saturday
afternoons, was denied. The board
said the existing agreement calls
for a 4S-hour week and the clerks
proposal would, in effect, compen-
safe employees twice for the same
work or time. 1t added such
practice would be tantamount to
wage increase which it could
not approve under existing stabi-
izaton regulations.

JAPAN'S FORCES SPLIT
BETWEEN HOMELAND, CHINA

More than just difference between
military leaders in Japan is seen in the
recent refusal of the commander Of the
Jap forces in China to evacuate them to
the homeland For some reason Tokyo
has not placed a censorship on recent
clashes on this move. There are mil
lion Jap troops in China. The COM
mandcr has given as reason for not
starting the trek back to the homeland
as the element Of time. His contention is
that a year would be required for the
move. He is correct and he undoubtedly
knows by that time it would be too late.
The real reason why the Japanese com
mander is not moving his army back
home is that he can't. There are no ships
left to carry them back, and furthermore
the u. s. fleet now commands the waters
between China and Honshu island.
WheR unconditional surrender time
comes, the Jap army in China will sur
render in China.

THE PICTURE ON THE STAMP
(Christian Science Monitor)

(Christian Science Monitor)
Those quaint and interesting govern
ment bureaus at Washington are always
pulling pleasant little surprises on us
taxpayers. Sometimes they're entertain
ing, sometimes not. The latest is Daniel
Manning.
The first question you'll naturally ask
is, Who in the heliocentric universe is
Daniel Manning? Well, he's the fellow
whose picture is on the federal auto tax
stamp you so unwilingly laid out S. for
at the post office around July l. Well,
even so. that doesn't tell who he is; so
YOU have to look him up. Thus, children,
we find that our Uncle Sam has our best
interests at heart, for he wants us to
know things
Well, Daniel Manning is, or was a
really, truly Horatio Algier hero, a news
paper office boy who rose to become that
newspapers proprietor The paper was
the Albany Atlas, later the Argus. "Mr.
Manning" says one Of his biographers,
"studicd politics as fine art" Any
way, he fought the Tweed ring and was
the right-hand man Of Samuel j. Tilden,
York and President of the United States
only he never got to the White House.
(That, children. is another stOry.)
And why is this great and good Demo-
Gratis picture on the pretty green stamp?
Well, Mr. Manning helped another New
Yorker run for President, and this time
he really got there. President Cleveland
made the Albany editor his first Secre
tary Of the Treasury. The Treasury gets
the money for the stamp; so it has the
say AS to whose picture shall adorn it.
So, children, we learn history at a cost

"'Tain't So" said American scientists
to the tallest secret weapon scare yet to
come out of Germany.
1t Col. John A. Keck, chief of En-
emy Equipment Intelligence, revealed
the story: How the Nazis were working
on method of building giant platforms
5000 miles above the earth's surface at
a point where the gravitational pull Of
the earth is neutraliZed by the pull OF
the sun and where d platform would
need no support. Huge reflectors Q86
miles square) would focus the suns rays
on enemy areas, turning oceans into
steam. kindling forests, burning life to a
crisp.
Fantastic as the scheme sounds, Keck
said, Germany's top scientists thought
they'd have it ready in SO years.
Americans disagreed They argued:
Any such point is constantly changing
as the earth revolves around the sun and
a platform would soon find itself off
that point and being pulled back toward
the earth or toward the sun. MeteorS,
too. might be hazard because they're
probably more numerous 5000 miles up.
Other German secret weapons being
perfected, Keck said, were a method Of
launching V-2 rockets from submarines
300 feet under water, a gun with curved
barrel to shoot around corners, rocket
anti-aircraft to reach planes at $4,000
feet.
