Virginia Nichols of St. Louis taught several wicked Chicagoans that she" possessed a charm over the cantering cubes. They thought so much of her charm (and their lost bank rolls that they called the cops and Virginia, landed in jail. However, Miss Nichols proved to Judge Francis Borelli that her charm wasn’t because the dice were phoney, so he discharged her. Here she is showing the judge how to make ’em come up on seven. It is said the girl can “roll” any number she chooses.

HOOVER SOUNDS CHALLENSE ON NAVALACTION President Calls for Steps Toward Limitation of Armaments. BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. May 31.—President Hoover awaited today the response of the governments and people of the world to America’s second bold challenge within a few weeks for immediate action toward effective limitation of armaments. The President's Memorial day address in Arlington National Cemetery generally was hailed here as an utterance destined to mark anew

milestone in the complex disarmament negotiations which have been carried on among the great powers since the World war. “We must clothe faith and idealism with action,” was the keynote of the address. The Kellogg pact, by which forty nations have renounced war as an instrument of national policy, has paved the way for the next great step forward. “The deepest aspirations of the American people” are that peace should be established on a sound basis, removed from the shadows of competitive armaments. Hoover said. “We believe the time has come wh#n we must know whether the pact we have signed is real, whether we are condemned to further and more extensive programs of naval construction.” Speaking within earshot of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the chief executive solemnly warned the

nation that the advances in world peace sentiment embodied in the Kellogg pact are endangered by the continued strengthening of naval arms by “every important power." “They died,” he said, throwing his voice over acres of glistening white grave markers, “that peace should be established. Our obligation is to see it maintained.” The President's address was less than 1.500 words in length. Stripped of every oratorical flourish, it was almost epigramatic in construction. Blunt, Incisive and direct, it suggested a solution in geometry. “If this covenant be genuine proof.” he said, "that the world has renounced war as an instrument of national policy, it means at once an abandonment of the aggessive use of arms by every signatory nation and becomes a sincere declaration that all armaments hereafter shall be used only for defense. “Consequently, if we are honest we must reconsider our own naval
armament and the armaments of the world in the light of their defensive and not their aggessive use. “If we are to set standards that naval strength is purely for defense and not for aggression, then the strength in fighting ships required by nations is but relative to that of other powers. All nations assent jto this—that defensive needs of navies are relative. “Moreover, other nations concede our contention for parity. With these principles before us, our problem is to secure agreement among nations that we shall march together toward reductions in naval equipments.” A person on a house roof 100 feet high can see more than thirteen miles away on a clear day. On a mountain 1.000 feet high a forty-two-mile view can be had. Aviators a mile up can see everything within a radius of ninety-six miles.
