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.

! Health !
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.
