U. S. IDEALISM . WINS PRAISE IN AUSTRALIA Trade Methods Augur Great Future, Club Guests Are Informed. AMITY HELPS NATIONS MELBOURNE. Victoria. March 10.— American business men in Melbourne, associated in a “get-together club,’’ gave occasion recently for mutual expressions of the good will and respect existing between the United States and the commonwealth. T. Sammons, the new American consul-general, presided, and the guests included H. V. Braddon, until recently Australian trade commissioner in the United States, and T. E. Burton, a for- ► mer United States senator. These gettogether dinners, at the back of which is the kindly guidance of Consul-General Sammons, will afford opportunity not only for entertaining American visitors of distinction but of promoting closer relations between the United States and other countries. Mr. Braddon paid a very high tribute to the business men of the United States. “When I first went to America." he declared, “I was a little skeptical about the idealism ahout which I had heard so much, but closer acquaintance has removed all doubts. T have found American business men honorable, straight as a die, and of very high ideals. Far from being hard and material, they are the most ideal-loving nation in the world, emotional at times to the point of sentimentality.'* KINDLIEST FEELING 1 OR AMERICANS. Mr. Braddon said that he had found the kindliest possible feeling existing toward Australia and particularly toward the young Australian soldiers then In America. He recognized that many Australians hopelessly underestimated the strength of Washington's policy that America should steer clear of European entanglements. But despite this aloxf ness, the relations between the United States -and Groat Britain could hardly be more cordial and the two countries together could accomplish wonders i? these relations were maintained. “Let only hypercriticism be abolished and all the little differences between the two countries will vanish into thin air.” Americans had often discussed with Mm Australia's compulsory arbitration scheme and he had come back convinced that they were right in their objections to it. It was a good thing that tin* experiment had been tried, and the idea r ,f the basic wage was quite sound. But the whole system of compulsory arbitration was based upon a wrong foundation. “I would like to see the whole of the arbitration court structure swept away to make room for a system which would allow employers and employes to ‘get together,' ” explained Mr. Braddon. “enabling pach to come to a proper understanding of the other's peculiar difficulties.” AMERICA FRIENDLY TOWARD AUSTRALIA. Mr. Burton laid special stress upon the value of good will between the British empire and the United State?, and said that in America there was no feeling for Australia except one of absolute friendship. . They had the greatest admiration of what Great Britain had done in the war for her fortitude, sense of Justice and moral awakening. “We admire Canada, and not less Australia and New Zealand, for their wonderful sacrifices," he said. “Nearly 400,000 of the men in this part of the world responded without conscription to the call to arms. There is a heritage which will never be forgotten in America, and which increased the tie hinding her to these island continents, in the feeling that America’s place in the sun is mingled with yours, and that the destiny of the future is common to both.” Senator Slillen. minister for repatriation welcomed Mr. Braddon on behalf of the Australian government. He congratulated Mr. Braddon on the admirable manner in which he had discharged his duties as trade commissioner. Senator Millen continued: “Primarily Mr. Braddon was sent to America to promote Increased trade, but only the most casual observer could fail to detect underneath something more than this. It was one of the objects of* Mr. Braddon's mission to place relations between Australia and America on the most cordial footing posand in the course of his travels in the I nited States he rendered signal service to both countries in this and other directions. Relations between America and Australia are now go friendly that only willful stupidity can bring about a misunderstanding.” Tries to Smuggle Chinese Aigrettes SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.—Mrs. Elvira Vint, a guest at the St Franc's hotel, pleaded guilty before Federal Judge Detrich to smuggling aigrettes Into from China.

Is your child suffering from malnutrition? Does your child’s weight correspond properly with his height and age? The U. S. publ e health service asks these questions and proceeds to answer them with the accompanying tables of height and weight for boys and girls, between the ages of t> and 14 years. The scale of gain in weight is given from the fifth year, and the increase in height is worked out in inches for each year. The question of malnutrition has been carefully studied by the public health service. These tables have been planned as a guide to parents to enable them to determine whether their children are normally developed as to height and weight.

telegraphy, will have no need of crews to risk death and their torpedoes will be set off by the same mean*. M. Palnlevo, who was French minister of war in the Milieraiid cabinet of 1917, believes the most potent weapon In the next conflict will be "torpedo shells” which will be able to travel Immense distances before exploding. NOBODY HALF. IN' FUTURE OF WARFARE. According ro M. I'ranly, France'* chief wlreles* expert^nobody will be safe, even far behind the actual fighting front. Wireless methods of destruction will have reached such an extraordinary development, he declares, In the course of the next ten or twenty years, that people will have seriously to consledr the building of subterranean cities because on the surface of the earth there will he no security for life. M. Branly regards the combination of wireless telegraphy and aviation as one which will divide the prime characteristics of the next war. “The progress In Aviation is fraught with the direst possibilities since It is now easy to transport enormous quantities of explosives at unheard-of speed," said M Branly. “The only w.iy to prevent the wholesale slaughter of noncombatants in the next war will be the construction of subterranean shelters under all our cltlea capable of accommodating the entire population. We have seen airplanes large and powerful enough to carry twenty, thirty even forty persons.

nnd I foresee in the near future airplanes capable of carrying 100 passengers. They will have a speed of more than 180 miles an hour. Setting out from Berlin they would be over I'aris in a couple of hours, dropping Immense quantities of explosives. FIRE AND EXPLOSION'S OF THE FUTURE. “A lot has been written about the possibility of causing explosions and conflagrations at a distance by means of wireless telegraphy. There has been much foolish talk regarding It. In order to accomplish anything of that nature an apparatus on the spot where the action is to occur Is indispensable. Suppose, for Instance, the Germans wanted to set Paris ablaze. They would have to have in Paris, alreasy arranged, a series of apparatus which might be called 'receivers.' Without them nothin* of the kind Is possible. “At sea. however, the same objection does not hold. It will be quite within the range of possibility, for example, to hurl into the midst of an enemy fleet an engine of destruction which can be exploded by wireless telegraphy. In the same way it is possible to conceive a submarine, without crew, steered by wireless to a strategic position for the discharge of torpedoes, which would also be dqpe by wireless.”

ASKS PHYSICAL EDUCATION LAW Kansas Senator Proposes More Than Youthful Exercise. WASHINGTON, March 10.—In lnrtdnoelng in the senate Uls measure providing for national physical education as a substitute for compulsory military training, Arthur Capper, republican, senator from Kansas, revealed that his plan meant much more than providing exercise for the youth of the country. He said on this point: “Physical education means more than exercise. It includes adequate supervision of the health and physical condition of the children and practical instruction In the principles of healthful living.” Senator Capper asserted that no nation was safe from disintegration within or attacks without if It did not care for the health and physical fitness of Its children. He said: “1 am opposed to compulsory military training, but believe that universal physical education In the schools will give the youth of the country most of the practical benefits argued for military training without the insidious, undesirable effects of compulsory military training: furthermore, physical education in the schools will benefit the girls of our country. “In the present national situation, 1 am strong for extreme economy, hut believe by this expenditure of $10,000,000, the federal government can inaugurate a program which will conserve our ideals of democracy, promote the health and happiness of your young people and accomplish practically as much for national security as would compulsory military training, with Its cost of several hundred millions.”

VALE STUDENTS TAKE GAS TESTS Inhale Auto Fumes in Hudson Tunnel Tryout. NEW YORK. March 10.—Thirteen Yale students were volunteer subjects recently for the carbon monoxide gas tests the United States bureau of mines is conducting at New Haven for the New York nnd New Jersey bridge and tunnel commissions, It became known, in spite of a denial recently made at the university. The tests are to determine the amount of exhaust gas from automobiles which safely can be present in the air of the proposed Hudson river vehicular tunnel. The detailed results will be announced ••n March 1 by Prof. Henderson of the bureau, in charge of the experiments, but it is already known the average perron can inhale ten parts of the gas In 0,000 parts of air for a period of two lours without any noticeable after-effect ind anaemic persons and Infants safely can breathe three parts in 10,000. No test has been made of the maximum amount a human being can Inhale, but several dogs have been killed In the course of the experiments. ‘Ghosts’ Put Honey in Roof of House GRANVILLE, 111., March 10-—Bees played “ha'nts” to George F. Treudt hero recently, but George didn’t mind It—when he found they had produced several hundred pounds of honey during their spooky evening siestas. For more than a year Treudt and his family had been anoyed by a peculiar buzzing sound coming, apparently, from the roof of his house. For a time he blamed the noises on electric wires, but neighbors held to the belief the house was haunted. Finally, when Treudt made a search In the garret, he found the house had many, many more inhabitants than he had Imagined. The bees had been at work for months.
