OUR NAVY - . When Secretary of the Navy Claude A. Swanson tells President Roosevelt that the United States should proceed promptly to strengthen its naval defenses, since more than a decade of sincere work for armament reduction has gone for naught, he voices an attitude which undoubtedly has the approval of a great many Americans. At the same time, by calling attention to the navy's pres ent incomplete state, he emphasizes the fiict that we have not really had a naval policy since the end of the World war. We have not had a policy, that is, in that we have Wot had a definite goal or a definite program for our fleet. On the one hand, we have insisted that our navy be classed ns one of the two strongest in the world; on the other, we have been content to let it fall below treaty standards. The result has been that the nary has gotten along as best It could, an organization that pleases neither the pacifist nor the militarist. Prior to the Washington conference of 1923. our avowed aim was to build the greatest fleet on earth and maintain It In fighting trim. In ships built and building we had that goal within reach; wc needed only to wait lor the new vessels to slide down the ways and we would be preeminently the greatest naval power In existence. ' ; . i, ( But we didn't do It. Of all forms of human folly, a naval armament race la the most expensive and the most dangerous; and we averted such a development by throwing away the magnificent new ships that were half-built and by voluntarily accepting a rating lower than we could have had. ,' Now, says Secretary Swanson, the time has come to tighten up our-belt anew. And before we can decide on his program properly, we need to restudy the whole problem and declio Just what we want our navy for and what we expect It to do. If we havo given up all hope of further co-opcratton from other naval powers If wo feel that future naval agreements are Impossible, and. that we shall hare to stand absolutely alone henceforth then It 1 up;.to us the secretory says and make the fleet ready for anything thnt can happen. But If there still la a chance of continuing the agreements of the past decade, and of avoiding tho expense and danger of naval competition with out crippling our foreign politics, It would seem wise to get along "as Is" for a while loneer. For we cannot forget one tiling. If we add to our nect, other nations wlU do the same. And no one knows what the end of that might be. The salesman with a speech impediment finds it hard to sell goods, which is time of. the business that suffers the speech impediment known as failure to advertise. The folks who dump their are doing everything possible no taste. LEGISLATORS RETURN FROM SPECIAL MEET (Continued From Page One) Ing tho legislative ucsslons. Discussing the session. Rep.

Senator Hess commented on the bus and truck law amendments, staling that a lot or the Injustices of the old law had been done away with. He believed It better to. amend the law than to throw It out. which would havo caused great distress to the highway program. "Wo amended 11 the best we could at a special ses sion." he said. Measures also were passed maklne It possible for Oregon and its sub divisions to take full advantage ol the C. W. A. program. Senator Hess, along with Ooss and HarJett spon sored bills for wider acceptance o: home owners loan bones.

Visualizing Nerves From Vienna there comes a report to the effect that a Japanese physi cian has developed a method for securing x-ray pictures of nerves. This physician Injects a solution of poppy seed oil and iodine either i in the region of the nerve or Into ! the nerve Itself. The solution spreads 1 within the tissues and makes pos sible the x-ray visualization of the nerve. ' An x-ray is' made by transmitted "light", the x-rays which are not light rays actually penetrating the object examined and affecting the photographic plate or film on the opposite side of the object under In spection. The contrasts seen In the x-ray plate are caused by the difference In the resistance offered by various parts of the examined object to the passage of the x-rays. Thus, when an x-ray of the hand is made, ttie bones resist the pas l ge of the rays more than does ihc flesh. Hence we have what Is correctly called a shadowgram of the hand In which the bones stand out by their contrast to the fleshy n.rt nr h ,,,,, .,.,,,. n. n. m r.rtii. However. In an ordinary x-ray of aT, the forearm. It is not possible to trace and see the path of the , r.r.. because the surrounding muscle tissue is not different from nerve tissue in its resistance to the passage of the x-rays. By the Injection of Iodized fluids in and about the region of the nerves, or aa the case may be, by the injec tion of iodized oils into head sinuses or other cavities in the body, it is possible to secure a contrast or a 6tafdow; "e lodlzecl 011 relatively more resistant to the pass age of the x-ray than Is the sur rounding tissue. I This newly developed method for j visualizing nerves should prove of value in studying Injuries affectine nerve structures. In conditions where ibony structures press upon nerves, in 1 nerve tumors, and in certain forms of leprosy.
