JUSTICES’SHIFT MAY GET YOUNG TAFT U. S. JOB Son of Ex-President Now Free to Accept Post of Solicitor General. Bv TJnitfd Prrnn WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The possibility that Robert A. Taft, son of the retiring chief justice, may succeed Charles Evans Hughes Jr., son of the newly appointed supreme court head, in the position of solici-tor-general, was being discussed here today. Young Taft, a prominent Cincinnati lawyer, frequently was mentioned for the solicitor-generalship at the start of the Hoover administration. He was unable to accept the post, however, because it would have placed him in the position, of pleading government cases before his father. With the change in chief Justices, however, the situation is reversed, and there remains no longer any objection to the junior Taft’s appointment. Hughes’ son announced his intention of resigning promptly upon his father’s elevation to the supreme bench. Robert Taft, who had made known his father’s resignation at the WMite House Monday, was not at Union station to greet his father early today, having left for Cincinnati Monday night.

CRISIS REACHED BY ROOSEVELT IN PORTO RICO Confronted Wtih Problem of Finding Answer to Undernourishment. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Governor Theodore Rooseveltt of Porto Rico is approaching the showdown hour of his administration, due on Feb. 10, when he addresses his first message to the legislature. He is confronted with an undernourished population of 1,500,000 American citizens living in an area 100 miles long by thirty-five miles wide, and they will look to him on Monday to propose a solution for their troubles. The likelihood of an immediate solution is remote, and that is what makes Roosevelt’s task a difficult one. In the few months since he took office in San Juan last autumn Roosevelt apparently has gained great perscnap restige among the Porto Ricans. The island was desperately in need of publicity in the United States, and the mere presence of a Roosevelt in the Governor’s palace met that need instantly. And Roosevelt has done what other Governors have not done — he has addressed the people of Porto Rico in their native togue which happens to be Spanish. To accomplish that linguistic achievement Roosevelt began the study of Spanish about three months before arriving in San Juan and in his first public appearance there Roosevelt managed to express himself in Spanish although tnses were mixed and the sentences did not always parse. Nevertheless the people of the is-

Husband Pays

‘‘So, I’ll give you S2O a month extra,” Superior Judge Thomas F. Graham told Mrs. Pauline Cecilio, (above) when her husband failed to appear for a divorce hearing. “Since the defendant is not interested enough to appear, instead of giving you the S3O monthly alimony you ask, I’ll raise the ante to SSO to support your baby.”

land accepted his effort as proof of good-will and a desire to understand. Upon that beginning the new Governor has built a considerable popularity. With practise, Roosevelt’s Spanish has improved until now he uses the language exclusively in his dealings with adult Porto Ricans, reserving English for the school children whom he believes should speak English because they are American citizens. Asa further gesture of goodwill, Roosevelt has put his 10-year-old son, Quentin! in San Augustin Military School at Rio Piedras. These evidences of personal interest in Porto Rican people and their problems apparently have gotten Roosevelt off to a good start on the island, but a good start is not sufficient to solve the problems which plague the people.

BRITAIN TAKES SMALL NOTE OF NAVALPARLEY Foes of MacDonald Charge Premier Threw Away Trade Points. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS LONDON, Feb. 4.—ls a man from Mars had dropped in for a threeday stay at London he never would have known the naval conference, on which the peace of the world admittedly largely depends, was in progress. Almost in vain does one search the week-end newspapers here for news of the naval parley. Some omit all reference to. it. Here are what one sees and hears instead: Chicago’s amazing scandals. ' Former English bar maid, a Zelgfeld Follies girl, commits suicide. The question of empire free trade. Outburst over the fact that America’s exports exceed those of Britain and that the empire bought 45 per cent of these exports. Propaganda against the flood of American films from Hollywood and talkies which “debase our good Englist language,” etc. But for two other topics which have a natural hookup with the naval parley the conference might have passed virtually unmentioned. These are difficulties with the budget and dropping of four cruisers from the British 1928-1930 program. The Tories and the big navy crowd are fulminating against Premier MacDonald, charging he threw away vital trading points at the beginning of the conference. The truth is that the cut was decided upon before the conference hardly convened. It was dictated by the urgent needs of economy.

Philip Snowden, chancellor of the exchequer, is quoted as saying a big deficit on the present year's accounts almost seems inevitable and despite every possible saving, additional taxation seems unavoidable. What is happening is that Premier MacDonald's opposition is

Today the whole trend of medical practice is away from “need' less “dosing.” Mothers of young children especially appreciate Vicks, because it cannot upset delicate 6tomachs as “dosing" is so apt to do.

playing the ancient game of politics and attempting to create popular distrust by picturing insecurity which will tell against the premier at the polls. Advocates of a big navy are fearful he really may make a low-tonnage treaty giving America parity.

They unanimously overtook the fact that Britain already possesses —built and building— almost 400,000 tons of first-line cruisers In comparison with America’s less than 160.000 tons, despite the promise of parity.
