PEACE IX THE PACIFIC “7"| AMERICAN liberals, including the editors of this uewspaper, have deplored the defeat in England of Ramsay -MacDonald, and the return to power of the British Tory party The feeling was that the whole world might learn much from observation of the conduct of a sincere and able Labor man like MacDonald in office as the head of the government of a great nation. However, there is one phase of the recent English upset that Americans Tan approve, whatever their political faith. The MacDonald ministry had abandoned plans for a great British naval base at Singapore. It is expected that these plans will be taken up again by the government now in power. Our own earnest desire that peace may he preserved on the far side of the Pacific gives us a direct interest in this. The situation in the Western Pacific today is that Japan is absolutely dominant in a naval way. England has plenty of big battle ships and cruiser- in her own waters, but no place to repair and condition them in the Western Pacific, or nearer to China than Suez. Her present dry-dock and supply facilities at Singapore and Hongkong are inadequate and would be useless so far as first-class vessels are concerned. Our own situation is even worse. The only dry-dock we have in Western Pacific waters big enough to take anything larger than a destroyer is in an exposed position fifty miles from Manila. Tt would be indefensible in war time. And it is too small for a first-class vessel anyway. It is a dangerous thing for the peace of the world for any ambitious and autocratically ruled nation like Japan to have a naval monopoly in any part of the world. It is especially damn-r----ous when tlie monopoly exists in a part of the world containing a great, rich anti defenseless country like China. This comes home particularly to Americans in view of the fact that our government in the past has assumed a certain obligation to the Chinese, through the enunciation of the Ilay policy of the “open door and equal opportunity in China"— practically an announcement to the world that, whatever anybody else micht do, we would see to it that C hina was never made the mere prey of any self-seeking aggressor nation. The creation of a British naval base at .Singapore will be at least a step toward a “balance of power” in the Western Pacific that does not exist today. In the absence of control of the situation by the League of Nations or any other treatycreated body this will be the best Tiling than can happen, for the world and for the United States, at this time. Eventually the “balance” must be made more nearly perfect by the creation of a real American naval base in the Philippines, with adequate supporting bases at Guam and Hawaii. This can come about through improvement of existing facilities ind fortifications at Manila, upon modification of the present ‘four-power pact.” or upon the lapsing of that treaty. But in the meantime—peace is the objective, and the creation of the new British naval base at Singapore is a step in the right direction. ONE NEW senator u-ed to be a glass blower and, naturally enough, the Senate appealed to his ambition. A * Hl< AGO LA\\ ''i Ed says that Capt. Kidd, the pirate, was innocent. That is the ( h'cago lawyer of it. “OUR OPPONENTS in America are getting it in tlm neck.” says Pussyfoot Johnson, prohibitionist. And they are. by way of the mouth. NEW YORK’S epidemic us hiccoughs has abated from lack of supporting influences. Men cannot go on hiccoughing without some encouragement. MR. DEMPSEY is said to be losing his interest in fighting. but it is difficult to understand why, since there is not much eall to go to the ship yards. THE ENGLISH doctor who suggests coal gas as a substitute for hanging is wrong. There should be no expensive accompaniments to such sordid happenings.

HOW ABOUT YOUR BASAL GANGLIA? Maybe Your Mind Isn't Half So Good As You Thought, By ROY J. GIBBONS CHICAGO, N'ov. 24.—Test your basal ganglia! The result will show 3 r ou just how | good a mind you have, j It is easy to do it. i Just get a group of simple, figures, look at them for a few seconds, close your eyes and then proceed to draw them from memory. Ts your work resembles the original. you may be sure your basil ganglia is functioning perfectly. You have a good mind. So advises Airs. -Marie K. Hickson. Chicago’s “confessor.” She is the wife iif l>r, William J. Hickson. Together they direct Chicago's unique ! psychopathic hospital. But maybe you don’t know just i what vour basal ganglia is. N'inety- | nine chances out of 100 you don’t. It Controls Emotions Well, Mrs. Hickson explains it. is | a group of cells —those that drive I the engine of your brain. They are housed in the lower brain. You have two brains, you 1 know. I’> the basil ganglia are seated your instincts. Without it, you \vi aid have no emotions. ; The upper mind called the cortex jis the thinking mind. In it are the 'wheels, one might say. P.ut these ; wheels turn only in response to the , j lower generated by the basal ganj glia. ; A man with a well-developed cor- : tex has a high brow. That, according to Mrs. Hickson, is where the term “highbrow” originated. Nathan F. Leopold Jr. and Rich- ! ard A. Jy.eb, slayers of little Bobby Franks, each had an extraordinary ; cortex. Mrs. Hickson learned in her examination of them, lb:* the bn -al 1 ganglia of each wt.s sub-normal, she ; found. j This lack of balance in their mental equipment gave tin m a good . brain m;uhim But the machine did * not have the power to turn it.

clamoring to know all about the basal ganglia. Exanriwd Frank Stayers “It is erroneous to conclude every high orow means a ‘highbrow,' she points out. “The basal ganglia In a human being is one-third and the cortex two-thirds. Mrs. Ha ksim says the basal pan glia is hard to injure. In nearly 90 per t-t ■ t of ill rases where it is dis trt id it has been that way from birth, she declares. Mrs. Hickson has been examining defective basal ganglia in Chicago almost fourteen years. ('rime and brutality are eonimon to her. Hut slut has not let this association with the seamy side of life dull her appreciation of the better side. “The world still is beautiful," she contends. “I always find time to smile. “I find recreation in the arts—particularly music. Otherwise, I probably never would have been able to stand my work so long.”

Science The use and great Improvement !of parachutes recently have shown that there are much greater possibilities of life-saving in connection with airplane accidents than was thought at first. j The inventor of the parachute was Leonardo da Vinci, probably the most universal genius the human race has produced. He was born forty years before Columbus diseov- ! ered America in the Italian village ;of Vinci, from which he took his name. While he is known all over | the world for his paintings, especially the Mona Lisa, it is probable that his greatest work was in the field of science* His anatomical drawings are models. He was skilled in surgery i and medicine. He was a pioneer in | modern chemistry. In astronomy he j saw the truth 150 years before Galileo was tried for heresy when j he claimed the earth moved about j the sun. Although gunpowder was | just beginning to be used, he in- | vinted a machine gun and a mortar ; for throwing bombs. He announced the principles of aviation that stand j today and made a model for a flyi ing machine.

For 31 years he lived at the Grand Hotel. That is believed a record for continued residence at one hotel. ills hobby was to collect newspapers containing accounts of noted legal trials. So assiduous was he that when ho died they stood in great piles, seven and eight feet high, around his room.

Tongue Tips THOMAS RILEY MARSHALL, Indiana: "The great body of mankind is in favor of justice and fair dealing, but it is also in favor of the game going ahead, although the decision may be faulty.” ... WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE, Kansas: "Monarchies are good things when the Kings and queens are reduced to entertaining the inut.ittides, and that’s about all they do those days. George V is Ringiing Brothers’ greatest competitor.” • • * ROBERT L. FINCH, Drake University, Iowa: “When a boy reaches the ago of 10 or 12 years, his mother has done about all that can be expected of her, and it is time for the father to take charge if he has not already done so.” • * MUNICIPAL JUDGE SELLERS, Des Moires: “The most dangerous man in the world is the one who is jealous.”

MILK CAN BE SHIPPED LONG WA Y Herbert Quick Points Out Importance of This Fact. By HERBERT QTTCK EOPLE were greatly excited about the election. Many thought it the most, important event of the year. But a thing much more important happened in .Milwaukee on Sept. 30 of this year, when the health commissioner opened and examined a load of milk. There were 1,350 gallons of it. It. was in perfect condition. Such milk is examined every day in Milwaukee. as in other cities. The important. tiling about this consignment lies in the fact that the milk had been brought from Pittsburgh, Pa., by truck in sixty hours and was In perfect condition. This means that milk might be shipped from any part of the Fnited States by the methods used, if sent by rail, to any other part, and then be good. This makes it possible for milk to be produced anywhere in this country for delivery almost anywhere els* . It has only to be handled efficiently. Supply Source Moves Milk for New York was once produced where it could be hauled in i. wagon. Then the business moved up 11 ■• - Hudson to a point, around Troy and Albany. It. next jump was to a point out along the Mohawk and then it skipped to western New York. Its next l*np was dear to Illinois and center' I about Elgin.

There were estimated to be 18,* 853,000 horses in 1923, compared to 15,092,000 motor vehicles for the same year. What does “etc.” stand for? For the Latin words “et cetera,’ meaning “and the rest.” How may one protect large wounds in trees made by the removal of I)ranches of considerable diameter? By painting the cut surface with a heavy coating of white lead. A largo number of waxes, paints, and washes have been tried, and the conclusion has beep drawn that any substance which is not corrosive or detrimental to growth and which will protect the heart wood from the attacks of rot spores, will prove a satisfactory covering for a cut surface. Among such substances may be mentioned white lead, yellow ocher, coal tar, and grafting wax.

FEW THRILLS IN SIGHT AT WASHINGTON C >o!idge Program Calls for Less Government — Real ‘Normalcy,’ f a, /:'-■ au, IHi \ev York Are. WASHINGTON. Nov. 24 —The Narial Capg.il is due for four dull ir-d uneventful ve;u>, if the Coolidge A imini.-dritino ha.- its way. High idTlciah i-li.m to th.- I’r* si-tent are authority for this prediction. Hess Government in business, and in everything • lse. will be the motive of the C...liug- r, .-inic. Economy and -talci-ty will he the aim of the I’re.si- • • at. Washington will probably re turn to its prt war status, with noth ;• doing other than the bare nece-ssi-ties of Government. 1-T-r ten or twelve years, Wash burton h is enjoyed a boom period, not in business, but in politics, and t:---v-. ,nd in public activity. It was :i whirlpool of ideas, ->f agitation, and of movements. Conflicts between ! ,:-t!--s or l-etw-en blocs. or a war. , r m arms i i.mft m;o : . or something in the pub;.i- ey. , have stirred the capital continually. Propagandists Busy During this time. Washington j can-.- to be looked upon as the log ! u-il place to start movements of all ! kinds. The propagandists and .ig.-nts for special intcr.-.-ts have ivn until they far outnumber the men.hers of Congress. Almost any | new idea could get an airing in I Washington. j Congress Ins been in session alI most continuously since President | Wilson came into office, Wilson en I tered tlie White House with an ex i tensive program for reform. He i kept Cor.gross busy with it. Came the war, which inflated Washington beyond all reason, and after it, the readjustment period, which led President Harding to call a special session of Congress when ho took over office. President Coolidge has no reforms to suggest. He has no platform inquiring the presence of Congress. Ho and his advisors would rather not have Congress in session. He expects to call no special session. His idea is to let things take car-* of themslves. He wants attention turned away from Washington, f; that is possible. Blocs (ease to Worry With the Republican majority in | Congress a substantial one, the President probably will not have to j cope with blocs. He probably will j be called upon to make no important ! | compromises in his policies. About all he wants of Congress is appropriations to run the Government do- ; partinents, and his Administration intends to reduce the cost of run i ning them. Ordinarily, quiet times in Washington arc usually accompanied by considerable social activity, with .heWhite House the hub of the capital social wheel. However, the President doesn't like Rocial affairs and ; during the next four years the do- j ings in this line will probably be ro- j duced to a minimum.

Nature Some scientists try to tell us that as the air around the earth gets thinner and thinner and our nasal organs have to work harder and hardj er, our noses will increase in size un- | til they become enormous, comparI able to elephants’ trunks. Excavators of an ancient Roman city at Folkstone, England, found a ! stone nursing bottle having a nipple shaped exactly like the baby’s bottle of today. ’[’hero are potatoes that require shorter boilimr than others: also po- : tatoes that should be started in cold ; water, instead of boiling water. In England the farmers forward cooking instructions with every consign- j ment of potatoes and the grocer I passes them along to his customers.

Faces Bv HAL COCHRAN There are many, many places where it's fun to read folks’ faces, for the study is an interesting thing.

When you’re riding on a trolley, you can flick the people jolly, for expression-: tell you tbit’s the way they feel.
