Elevation of Guns on U. S. Battleships

WASHINGTON. —ls President Harding does not disregard the advice of naval authorities, work of elevating the guns of the battleships will start soon. The department takes the ground that nothing in the spirit or Setter of the treaty forbids elevating the guns and that it is imperative that this he done if the treaty status of .‘quality between the United States and Great Britain is to be established. The navy’s attitude in the matter is thus explained by Rear Admiral W. L. Rod•xers. head of the general board of the navy; “American naval officers who were most closely in touch with thv work of the Washington conference of 1921- — are one in their belief that nothing in the naval treaty prevents increasing the elevation of the guns as provided by the congressional appropriation of last session. “The United States navy Is to be ’second to none.’ It can only hold this place by modernising its ships. Other nations are doing the same thing, but not all take the same steps to reach the objective. Modernization of ships is as old as navies.

Flapper Is a Friend of the Druggist

IT IS the flapper who is keeping the drug store and the chemical preparation industry busy, according to th l ' latest official statistics of the census bureau, while the American people are turning away fr<>m the time-honored patent nteditines and druggists’ preparations. The census bureau has just completed the compilation of its figures on the census of manufacturers in 1921. It has three general classifications covering the basic business of drug stores: Druggists’ preparations, patent medi•lncs and perfumery and cosmetics. Os the three, the last classification, perfumery and cosmetics, called the weapons of the flapper—is the only one which shows an increase. The value of the perfumery and cosmetics produced in 1921 amounted to 172,509,000. according to the official figures. compared with $511,600,000 in 1919. the last census period for manufacturing statistics. This is an increase of 22 per cent. In 1914 perfumery :>nd cosmetics output was only $16,900,000. Thus, from 1914 to 1921 the percentage increase in this decora-

Arguments about names of places are diplomatically, but officially, settled by this august tribunal, mainly for the benefit of the government.

About 25,000 decisions have been made by this geographic board since It was established In 1890.

When Shipper and Railway Co-operate

DEFINITE suggestions fnr cooperation between shipper* and the railroads are contained in a letter sent by the secretary* of commerce to national anti state rrade associations throughout the country. The suggestions, contemplating greater efficiency In railroad operation, fit in with the program announced by the railroads at the recent New York meeting. "Due to the war and the long continued impossibility on the part of the railways to finance the necessary betterment's. both our production capacity and consuming demands have now advanced beyond our transportation facilities” says the letter. “The railway managers under the recent improved conditions are making great effort in .nance and expansion of facilities to meet our necessities, btrt full recovery of lost ground must b*» slow and. if we ire to maintain our present rate of productivity and employment. it is vital that there be eoo|*rat!on with the railway management from both producing and con-

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL,

“The limitations on modernization prescribed by treaty are to prevent abuse of the treaty by building practically new ships under cover of alterations. “Shch sharp practice, it was the intention of the treaty to forbid, but each nation is free to modernize its own ships as it thinks best without disputing the methods preferred by any other navy, always keeping inside the-dreaty limitations. “The change in angle of elevation is what the United States navy needs to keep our ships equal to those of Great Britain, which may choose at pleasure means of modernization more suited to its needs. “If the country wants no navy, or a navy that is inadequate, it may readily have such. But it should go about it, knowing what it is getting and not thinking it Is getting a navy second to none. “Putting the matter in another form. It is unbelievable that our delegates meant to agree that Great Britain by treaty was to preserve for some of her ships an ability to fire at ranges which most of our ships cannot attain without alterations of some extent.”

tlve business reached the astounding figure of 329. These figures relate only to the American-made products. If the imported perfumes were added, many more millions would be accounted for. Out of our 190.(100.000 population, there are about 25.000,000 women of an age likely to employ the beautifying or rejuvenating agencies of perfumes an.’ cosfnetics. This .means that each one of these women spends about S 3 a year on such products. In 1914 there were only 276 factories making perfumes and cosmetics: In 1921 It took 422 such establishments to fill the requirements. In 1914 the industry employed only 5.421 while in 1921 there Were 9.367 persons engaged. The figures show that the value of druggists’ preparations in 1914 was $48,000,000; In 1919 $114,000,090. while in 1921 it was down to $81,000,000. This might be explained by a statement that the people were buying patent medicines more generally, but apparently this explanation does not hold, for patent medicines show a 17 per cent drop from 1919 to 1921.

98 OUT OF EVERY 100 WOMEN BENEFITED An Absolutely Reliable Statement Important to Every Woman RemarMtble Results Shown by a Nation Wide Canvass of Women Purchasers of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. 50,000 Women Answer

For some time a circular has been enclosed with each bottle of our medicine bearing this Question: “Have you received benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound? ” Replies, to date, have been received from over 50,000 women answering that question. 98 per cent of which say YES. That means that 98 out of every 100 women who take the medicine for the ailments for which it is recommended are benefited by it. This is a most remarkable record of efficiency. We doubt if any other medicine in the world equals it. Think of it — only two women out of 100 received no benefit—9B successes out of a possible 100. Did you ever hear anything like it? We must admit that we, ourselves, are astonished.

Such evidence should induce every woman suffering'from any ailment peculiar to her sex to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and see if she can’t be one of the 98. The Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass.
