SENATOR SAYS ‘PACIFICISM’ IS FALSE ECONOMY Puindexter Warns Against Permitting Navy to Fall Below Ratio. CITES PACIFIC NEED WASHINGTON, March I.—“We should trust In ourselves to keep our powder dry,’’ declared Senator Miles Poindexter of Washington, In warning today against, the American Navy being permitted to fall below the -3 ratio of the naval limitation treaty. Poindexter, who Is slated to succeed to the chairmanship of the Senate Naval Affairs Committee, charged that “Pacificism" in the guise of “false economy” Is threatening to reduce the American Navy to a negligible position.”
EFFORTS TO FORTIFY ISLANDS FAILURE. One objection made to the naval treaty Is that It prohibits the erection of fortl- j flcations on certain Pacific islands,” Poindexter said. “This gives rise to the question as to whether or not, if we had no treaty, we would or could erect fortifications on these Pacific Islands which we possess. “We have not done so, notwithstanding that there has been no treaty or other obstacle to stop us during the long years since the Spanish war. I have made numerous efforts to secure appro- ; priations for a naval base at Guam, but I never have been able to secure the requisite backing of Congress to bring this about. It is not at all likely, even if the opponents of the naval treaty should* succeed in defeating it —which, of course, is not probable—that we should be able to accomplish any more than we have In the past in securing money for fortifications for our Pacific possessions. URGES FITE TO THREE NAVY. “With the limitations the treaty places upon us, our responsibility becomes all the greater to maintain a Navy equal to that of any other power in the world—in the proportion of five to three to Japan. It is quite evident that we are going to have a struggle to do this, as the same group of pacifits who, notwithstanding the example of Russia, China and Armenia, and believing that helplessness is synonymous with peace, are making a fight to prevent the maintenance of the American Navy on even the basis provided by the treaty. “These pacifists would reduce the American Navy, if they had their way, to a negligible position—to two or even to one in the equation as related to five ou the part of Great Britain and three for Japan, •With an adequate Navy and an adequate number of th'-oughly train.’* officers and a somewhat longer term of training for our enlisted men and a sufficient number of seamen to maneuver ships and kee 1 ? them prepared for action, our Pacific possessions and our mainland, which is Inseparably connected with our possessions everywhere, would be safe."—Copyright, 1922, by International News Service.

Jazz Dance Dangerous to Mind and Morals? Opinions Don’t Agree
NEW YORK, March I.—ls the modern craze mentally dangerous? This question was debated by psychological, church and terpslchorean circles today when dispatches from Paris stated Influential journals and famous academicians had indicted jazz as a "hypocritical form of obtaining illicit pleasure." “The modern dances are as soothing to the populace as rocking is to the infant," declared Dr. A. A,, Brill, chief of the clinic of psychiatry in Columbia University. “Jaza is to our national life what impurity Is to a woman—prostitution—affirmed the Rev. Dr. John Roach Stratton, the famous fighting pastor of Calvary Baptist Churt^i. “George Washington loved to dancewhy this outcry?” demanded Louis 11.

In the modern dances offers an opportunity to those individuals who look for sex everywhere. But this might happen and undoubtedly has happened even before the new dances came into vogue.” Dr. Stratton, who is waging a fight against decadence In modern life, eald he was not surprised some scientists — who say they are descended from monkeys—should see no harm in jazz. “When we have monkey men, we have monkey morals,” he contonded. “Jazs music and dancing is a reversion te the savage Instinct. Jazz la the spirit of evil, the devil's orchestra. I hare observed young men and young women lowered morally by its effects.” Dr. Stratton, however, sees encouraging handwriting on the wall of time. “There are faint signs of a return to social sanlty.’V he averred. “The fact French academicians and journalists denounce Jazz as mentally dangerous Is a healthy omen."

Illinois Central System Says Service Is Keynote in Handling Freight The freight service of the Illinois Central System is founded upon prompt and regular movement of freight and the considerate treatment of patrons’ wants by an organization which strives to render a service of satisfaction. We hold those to be the requisite elements of freight service. The Illinois Central System is among the leading railroads of the country in handling perishable freight. Fruits from the tropics arriving by steamships are moved north from the port of New Orleans in solid trainloads for distribution to marketing centers throughout the country. Domestic fruits and vegetables produced in Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee are loaded at stations on our lines and shipped to principal points throughout the United States and Canada, moving largely in solid trainloads. Vegetables from the Rio Grande valley of Texas move in substantial volume through the Baton Rouge gateway and are handled by the Illinois Central System from Baton Rouge to principal points in the North and East. Solid trainloads of meat and packinghouse products are handled between Omaha, Sioux City and Chicago. Through trains from Council Bluffs to Chicago carry California vegetables and fruits. Transportation of quality and quantity is an essential for the well-being and development of trade in commodities commonly classed as perishable freight. Without rapid and dependable transportation service consuming centers would have to depend on supplies from relatively nearby points of production, and trade generally would be contracted. The accurate maintenance of schedules is important in handling perishable freight. As an example of the kind of service rendered by- the Illinois Central System, it is worthy to note that during the past six months our fast freight trains handling perishable and other high-class freight long distances have made schedule early morning, deliveries 99 per cent on time. A bureau in the office of our car accountant at Chicago receives telegraphic advices of the movement of cars loaded with perishable freight and is able at any time to furnish shippers of such cars or consignees the exact location and probable time of arrival or delivery to connecting line. Fast merchandise trains are operated out of all the principal cities on the Illinois Central System on schedules which enable specialization in forwarding the freight the same day received. The Illinois Central System also ranks among the leaders of the railroads in originating coal and lumber traffic. This class of traffic does not require such rapid movement as perishable freight and merchandise, but does require regular and dependable service, which we are enabled to give through a well-equipped transportation plant and special attention to the freight movement. To a large extent these commodities are classified into solid trains and handled long distances intact, thus minimizing detention at terminals. Not all cars are handled without delay. Delays occur from causes beyond our control—others from causes under our control. The delays, however, are extremely small, taking into consideration the thousands of cars handled dailj*. A loaded ear found delayed is immediately placed in a preferred class, through special carding and notation on waybill, and handled in fast freight trains to avoid further delay and, if possible, to overcome that already sustained. We are continually adding to our equipment in the effort to keep abreast of traffic demands. We own 1,700 locomotives and 69,127 freight cars. Since the return from federal control we have purchased and received 150 locomotives, 1.000 refrigerator cars, 300 stock cars, and 200 flat cars. We have recently placed orders for 2,000 additional gondola cars and 1,000 additional refrigerators. We are striving constantly to perfect all departments of our service. We realize that our worth to the public is measured bv the service we give, and we invite the public to call upon us for any service, small or large. C. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System
DO you know that by tar the larger number of the common ailments of women are not surgical ones; that is they are not caused by any serious displacement, tumor, growth, or other marked change ? DO you know that these common ailments produce symptoms that are very much like those caused by the more serious surgical conditions?
