IIPOLISMEEK OF 11 RECALLED ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) The Annapolis convention of 1786, re garded by historians as the fore runner of the Constitutional con vention, was commemorated at a patriotic celebration at historic St. John's college here May 1, with President and Mrs. Coolidge as guests of honor. The principal addresses of the celebration was delivered un der the Liberty Tree on St. John's campus, beneath which Washing ton and Lafayette addressed citi zens of Annapolis. The tree, a giant tulip poplar estimated to be more than 600 years old, was the scene of many colorful events in colonial and revolutionary history. Ln 1752 the colonists met there to sign a treaty with the Indians, and in the troubled days before the War for Independence citizens gathered there to bear such patriots as Samuel chase and Mathias Ham mond arraign King George. In 1791 it was the scene of a wel come to Washington, who visited the college, and in 1824 Lafay ette was greeted under its spread ing branches. The Annapolis convention of 1786 was called to consider trade relations between the states. It was attended by only five dele gates, one of whom was Alexander Hamilton. The convention could do little to straighten out trade relations, but it proclaimed' the need for greater federal unity and named a date and place for an en suing meeting1 to be large enough and powerful enough to unite the states. This meeting was ln Phil adelphia the following year and went into history as the Constitu tional convention of May 1787. St. John's college was founded in 1696 as King William's school. the name being changed to - St John's in 1784. The school edu cated the aristocratic youth of Maryland and the surrounding states, among them William Pink' ney, later United States attorney general and minister to England and Russia. Four signers of the Declaration of Independence. Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Samuel Chase, Wil liam Paca. and Thomas Stone we're among the promoters of the col lege at the time the name was changed to St. John's Washing ton sent his grandson. George Washington Parke Custiss, to the college and three other members of the Washington family. Fair fax. Whiting and Needham Wash ington attended it. Francis Scott Key was a member of the class of 1796. The celebration on May 15 will include a dinner in honor of Pres ident and Mrs. Coolidge at the Hammond-Harwood house, recent ly taken over by St. John's. This dwelling built about 1770 by Mat thias Hammond is considered one of the most perfect examples of colonial architecture. BRITAIN SENDS FULL APPROVAL OF PEACE (Cotinad from po 1.) the right of self defense was in alienable, Great Britain feels no addition to the text of article I of the American draft is necessary. French Idea Brought Up Regarding the French sugges tion of the addition of an article providing that violation of the treaty by one of the parties should release the ' remainder f rom jtheir obligations under the treaty In wards that party, the British note said Great Britain was not satis fied that if the treaty stood alone the addition of some such provi sion would not be necessary. .In view of Kellogg's statement that any express recognition of that principle of law was wholly un necessary and it is agreed that this principle will apply, the Brit ish government said it was satis fied and would not aek for an amendment. "Means can no doubt be found without difficulty of placing this understanding on record in some appropriate manner," . said i the British note, "so 'that it may nave equal value with the terms of the treaty Itself."

The demise of the present paper mosey will begin next year, and new notes of smaller size will be put ln circulation t6 replace bills that have held sway virtually since 1861, when the original issue was authorized by the government. The prospect of saving annually 1787,000 in printing and the pos sibility of producing a better bill in more convenient form induced the treasury department to replace the old with the new. Nearly an Inch will be clipped off the length of the bill and also a half inch from the width, the new bill being six and five-sixteenths by two and eleven-sixteenths inches against the present measurements of seven and seven-sixteenths by three and "one-eighth inches, t The new bill also is expected to lend better protection against counterfeiting, as the portraits on the bills will be finer cut. with particular attention to facial ex pressions, which the engravers claim will be almost impossible to duplicate. The paper will be of finer quality, with a higher fold ing and tensile strength, guaran teeing a longer life for paper cur rency. . The saving in storage fa cilities, printing, paper and ink is described by bureau officials as "enormous." Engravers now. are engaged in preparing plates for the new bills, which will embrace all of the pa per money except national bank notes. Approximately two years are expected to be required to complete the transition from the old to the new sized currency, but the treasury expects to make the switch in all denominations o a particular kind of bill at the same time. The reduction in size is the be ginning of a movement which the treasury hopes will culminate in the issuance of only two classes of bills, the gold certificates and the federal reserve notes. At present there are six kinds of paper money; United States notes, gold certificates, silver certificates, na tional bank notes, federal reserve notes and federal reserve bank notes. Only a comparatively few national bank notes, federal re serve bank notes and United States notes are now in circulation, and the treasury believes that ulti mately they will disappear along with the silver certificates, leaving; the monetary notes restricted to only two. Restriction of classes and sizes of notes particularly is desired by the bureau of printing and engrav ing; which complains it is unable to supply the needs of the increas ed population for more bills. Dur ing the fiscal year 1927 the bureau delivered 992,339.984 pieces of paper currency compared with 514.688.180 pieces in 1917. As a result it has been necessary to keep many worn out bills in cir culation that are unacceptable to the public and are a menace to the security of the currency by encour aging spurious issues. WRONG AND RIGHT WAYS TO EXERCISE Relaxation - Once upon a time it might have been a thousand years ago, from present indications, relaxation was a natural instinct. Today it is an acquired art, an art so essential to health and beauty, that one can not begin too soon to re-cultivate it! All over the civilized world ten sion is he order of the day. It is a wonder that here in America we are not a nation of hypochon driacs! Blind, nerve-racking speed dominates everything we do. We rush to work, rush to eat, rush to finish eating, rush to play, and rush to bed. I am, not at all sure that subsconsciously we do not try to get an eight-hour sleep in four hors! And of course, this has a very bad effect upon both physi cal welfare and appearance. Even youth cannot withstand the strain of long-continued tension. The body is a human dynamo.! It cannot run on forever supplying bealth and strength to the limbs and blood to the brain without de manding at least an occasional day off for rest and re-fueling. ' ! In this country we have acquir ed the reputation of being tremen dously energetic. Perhaps we are ioo proua or tne title and we have learned to mistakenly asso $Ujte relaxation with laziness. La- iltifess Is a negative sUte of doing! Othing. Relaxation is the very! positive condition which calls vonr body to attention and then defin-! itely, scientifically orders it "at ease." If we could learn to relax, there would be no more overwrought nerves, no more hysterical excite ment, no more brain fog and brain fever! If we could train ourselves to relax just three minutes in ev ery working hour, giving the body and brain time to rebuild and re pair, both physical and mental ef ficiency would develop 100 per cent Then how shall we relax? ' Begin with the exercises of body relaxing. Stand very straight with the arms stretched outward. Begin with the wrist. Pretend to your self that it is much too tired to even existThen the arm. Let your head droop.'Tour neck the upper part of your body. Keep the idea in your mind of a heavy burden that is slipping; away from you. Finally, let your legs weaken un der you and sinktothe floor, r Lie very flat and follow, the same principle. Relax little by lit tle until your whole body seems ISSUED FOT WEEK nerveless, unable to achieve the smallest effort. At nigbt, msteaa of sinking into soft mattresses and softer pillows which encourage ac tual physical resistance and ten sity in your body, try out the straightest, hardest mattress in your house and sleep pillowless. Ton will soo find every muscle in your body relaxing. Relaxation is a beauty measure which is both literally and figura tively "priceless." It does not cost a penny, and its value is manifold. It strengthens and soothes tired muscles, conserves and develops energy. Relaxation is the first step to ward poise that most ' necessary of social assets, and so simple oi cultivation that every American woman who is interested in com batting the verj bad 'results of tension, noise and rush that is our modern existence, 'should begin to day to systematically study the art. HOOVER AND SMITH BOTH MAKE HEADWAY (oliaud from Kr 1.) Watson and the 19 from Maryland who will be in the Hoover camp, as a result of the preferential pri maries in those ' states. The South Dakota primaries will be held Tuesday, with Lowden alone entered on the republican side of the political fence, and on the same day Texas republicans in convention will decide on the make-up of their delegation. The Hoover managers hope to annex the 26 delegates from that state. despite the fact that there is op position among some of the repub licans there, including that of Rep resentative Wurzbach of San An tonio, against R. B. Creager, na tional committeeman who is a leader in the. fight for Hoover. The last of the republican dele gates will be selected 10 days hence in West Virginia. There Hoover will fight It out for 19 delegates with Senator Goff a fa vorite son candidate, with both sides straining for a knockout that would be felt at the Kansas City convention which gets under way three weeks from Tuesday.

This movement, regarded as the most significant step ever taken against the disease, seeks to bring before state and local bealth de partments the importance of ade quate facilities for diagnosis and treatment, of accurate statistical information and of public educa tion in the symptoms of cancer. Cancer work has been done large ly by endowed clinics, hospitals and institutes, for public health administrators have not looked upon cancer as a distinctly pre ventable disease, nor as one a gainst which headway can be made jaey have felt that cancer could best be com batted through the joint action of physicians and pati ents and that health departments could cooperate best bv limiting their activities to instructing the public in the par it should play in the cancer battle. More recently, however, public cancer institutes have appeared in several states In response to a popular demand for clinical .serv ice and now the American Public Health association has decided that. the country's official health agencies must be prepared to take more active parts in the efforts to reduce cancer mortality. The association is basing its plana on the report of a special committee which suggested a pro- Tram of action, recommending that official public health admin istrators "should take cognizance of the cancer problem and engage ;n various activities connected .herewith. It was also recommended that a survey be made to determine can cer death rates in the territories within the jurisdiction of the vari ous health departments, to ascer ain available facilities for diag nosis and treatment, to estimate the cost of available treatment and to determine the ability of natients to meet the expense of treatment. Health departments, he committee found, should pro vide free laboratory assistance in making of diagnoses or should en courage and assist the develop ment of this service through medi cal societies.' teaching institution" or-hospitals. "Departments of health should encourage and assist the establish ment of special cancer clinics in connection with general hospitals equipment, and personnel already available," the committee report ed. "In every large center of pop ulation there should be one first "lass cancer center where everv modern facility of personnel and apparatus should be available for the diagnosis and treatment of "aneer." With a view of stimulating lo- -al health officers to take un this urogram in their respective com munities, the association is adding cancer work to Its health apprais al form by which the adeflnnev ind efficiency of the health worV 'n a given territory are systemat ically measured. Points will b' awarded on the basis of a e.itv'f hospital provisions for cancer, itf, usterBrown HEADQUARTERS diagnostic service, completeness and accuracy of statistical infor mation, and to campaign of public instruction. The program of the American Society for the Control of Cancer for the next year is broadly along the same lines, and the two organ izations have signified their in tention of cooperating in the new movement to bring cancer work closer to the people. mi m nnn i nmrn uui uutu.nu i tu LONDON. If you do not know that amazing personality. "Old" Odelt. who for more than three score years and ten has been an actor in the haunts of Shake speare, then you have missed much of England. One can find him sitting in his own corner at the Savage club most any day, chatting with his colleagues of ruminating on the events of bis 94 years of life'. The spirit of the past, is Old Odell, destined by a whim of fate to stalk the stage of several gen erations. He might have stepped from out the pages of a book a tall, gaunt ancient, with Victorian bearing and speech; a tragedian's face; a long, white, forked beard, which certainly must have been the product of an actor's dressing table; a broad-brimmed, black hat of a vintage beyond the memory of man; a black, frock coat, either flung open or buttoned so that its top gapes an invitation for the actor's hand to take the Napoleon ic pose. What a subject for an artist! And indeed Old Odell probably has posed for more painters and sculptors than has anyone else in England, save royalty. Old Odell acted with Sir Henry Irving when that immortal figure was struggling for recognition; he dandled Ellen Terry on bis knee and unbent to play at childish i games with little Richard Mans field. If you press him a bit. Old Odell will tell you of those days, as he sips his favorite Irish whis key and pulls away at his inevita ble cigar. And he is 14! Notwithstanding his mighty age. Old Odell is active and regularly recites pages from the Bard of Avon at club affairs. He also sings "The Harvest Home," a fa mous song which he has sung so many years that he has forgotten when he first learned it. One may see him often, making his sprightly way along tbe Strand, with wind tossed beard and flapping coat; ctill vigorous and yet so very, very old. One wonders what those retro spective eyes of his eyes which never have known the need of ar tificial aid are seeing as he strides along. Are the taxicabs motor-busses transformed into the horse-drawn carriages of the days when Queen Victoria still was young? Are the modern business men, who rush along to work in their prosaic lounge suits, turned into slowly sauntering beau brnm mels, with their mincing ways? Nobody knows but Old Odell, and he would be a hardy man who ventured to ask the Ancient what he was thinking about, for Old Odell is a dignified and reserved Victorian. ill CT0 Men's Stylish' Shoes with Built-in Health Features Comfort for Men - Yet Style The Season's Best for Men FOOT SCIENCE SHOES LEAP YEAR BUS NOVELTIES GALORE CHICAGO ( AP) The year in which maidens are supposed to ask shyly or brazenly, as the maiden may be. for the hands of their best boy friends, has turned up the usual crop of artifices from which girlish amusement is de rived. Northwestern university men have decided, in a more or less formal manner, to tender 85 as balm to the wounded feelings of any coed they should refuse.

Woman's rights to take the ini tiative In gathering to her side' Dr. Caldwell's Keep Dr. Caldwell watched the re sults of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their hearth diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless of how much , one tries to avoid it. Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as pos sible, hence his remedy for consti pation, known aa Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm thei most delicate system and is not a habit fuming preparation, Syr up Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, and youngsterr'love it. It does not gripe. Thousands of mothers have written us to that effect. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their systems. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when a modi' ine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels Just as promptly, more cleanly and gently, without griping and harm to the system. Keep free from constipation! It robs your strength, hardens your arteries and brings on premature old age. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to a drug gist and get one of the generous bottles of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. , Take the ' proper dose that night and by morning you will feel like a different person Mutual Sayings and Loan Association , A Salem Institution Organized in 1910 Place your savings with us Let us finance your home on weekly, or monthly payments 142 South Liberty Street SUMS FOR MEN, WOMEN AND the man of her choice has been confirmed through the centories, As early as 1288, the Scots nf acted a law that each leap yeafiJh a maiden of either high or low s4U Ute should have the liberty to ask the man she likes to wed. herj And as a dour afterthought, if was appended upon the law that if the man refuse, he must pay one pound, unless betrothed to aa other. ,)t A few years later, tbe custom j was legalised in France, and be-,-,, -fore Columbus was jeered oat to sea. a similar provision was gran- ted to tbe maidens of Genoa and Florence. v j , There is only $13,000 in Chi cago's treasury to meet obligations of more than a million.
