The Disappointment at London TWENTY-SEVEN envoys signed the treaty which is the fruit of three months of conference in London. Three nations: Japan, Great Britain and the United States agreed to the treaty provisions limiting armaments, while France and Italy joined in the treaty stipulations modifying sub marine warfare. The latter is an important provision for the "humanizing" of war. It puts outside the pale of internation al approval the policy of "frightf ulness" which brought Ger many to her ruin. Submarines and surface vessels may not sink merchant vessels without warning. They must conform to the rule of search and seizure and ample protection of passengers and crew. This is a substantial gain if other na tions agree and if they then observe the treaty. So far as the figures for armaments go they look much like the "economy" budget of the ways and means committee of the legislature. The figures are there but they spell boosts Instead of reductions in important categories. The Nation submits the following figures, and adds its comment: Treaty Basis Present navy Capital ships 460,000 525,850 Cruisers- 339,000 305,000 Aircraft carriers 135.000 92,500 Destroyers 150,000 337,996 Submarines i 52.700 81,807 "A few points deserve notice: Battleships are obsolete, and there are to be no replacements for six years. Our actual cruiser tonnage Afloat last July was-75,000 tons, the figure given above including cruisers building as well, as the additional fifteen onjy authorized. The treaty figures would mean an addition of n nrly half to our present tonnage In aircraft carriers. As for the If t two categories, both Great Britain and the United States wanted to abolish the sub marine entirely. We are glad that the president finds the figures satisfactory." The Christian Century, ardent advocate of peace, ex presses regret that the conference early shifted ground from negotiation on the basis of the Kellogg'pact outlawing war to one recognizing war. In other words, after having a few months before solemnly renounced war as an instrument of national policy, all the powers gathered around the table in London scheming and planning to protect their interests for the "next war." The Christian Century does find two strips of "silver lining" to its cloud of disappointment. One is the actual agreement of nations to set maximum limits for their navies rather than continuing it as a matter of independent decision. The other is the reaffirmation to the world of the peril of "security pacts" such as France sought as the price of signing the treaty. Our diplomats seem to do better at home. When they go to Europe the miasma of intrigue and jealousies seem to seize them. Witness Versailles and London. When they stay at home they think more clearly, act more decisively. Witness the Washington conference. The peoples of the nations will feel disappointment that the high hopes are cast down, and the gains are so meagre. Perhaps it is well to be thus disillusioned. The war spirit is not dead in the world. We will still have to trust God and keep our powder dry. A Fire Alarm System SHOULD Salem install a fire alarm system? That is a question confronting the city council at the present time. It is distinctly a question of a somewhat technical na ture which the council is the only proper body to study and decide on. So we are going to be satisfied with the decision of the council, provided that decision represents the honest judgment of the council and is uninfluenced either by sales talks of the concern selling the apparatus or by the racket of ill-informed protestants on the other hand. Fire alarm systems have real merit. Large industrial plants put them in at their own expense for their own pro tection. Most cities of much size have fire alarm systems, and insurance underwriters and fire chiefs strongly favor their installation. But that is not the sole question. What the council has to decide is whether Salem can afford the system now; whether the fire alarm system is needed more than other things such as additional men or additional equipment or the South Salem station ; and whether it is wise to buy anything for the city on the instalment basis. Some people claim that the alarm system is just another gadget that costs a lot of money; others that it is a very valuable agency in cutting down the time in getting to fires. It is up to the council to sift the matter out and make the final decision. Eventually the city will install a fire alarm system, be cause the growth of the city and the greater wealth invested in buildings and goods will warrant adding this tool for bat tling with the fire menace. When the system is installed the plan should be for covering the entire city, making the job complete. We think the council is fully competent to decide if and when the city should put in the fire alarm system ; and believe the most of the people are willing to let them make the decision. The tax money is going to be spent, that's sure. The council has to decide whether it should .be spent for this or for something else. "Bob Hendricks came Into the office the other day, looked at our nose, looked at the boss's nose, looked at the society editor's nose, passed around among the reporter and printers looking at their noses and went at.

If you wui ta&e ear of the sim olo things In daily Irving, the Ig things win take car of t hems elves. Eatlnr the right food, get ting proper ex ercise to keep the body tn good condition. having ade quate sleep and st: These have- a direct bearing upon h e art health and general OflCOPCLArO health alike. The heart, which is the engine of your body, does a wonderful piece of work for you. It pumps away, day and night, to make pos sible all the things you wish to do. Like any other machine, it must have its rest periods. It, too. suf fers from the wear and tear of life. Of course it never does stop beating but nature has provided a time for it to slow down and recuperate. This it does during sleep. The heart is made up of mus cles which contract and expand In a rhythmical beat. Under nor mal conditions, the heart rests one tenth of a second after each boat. This short rest permits it to store np sufficient energy, for its eon traction period. Tou eannot bo well nourished, strong and full of energy unless your heart is able to do its full duty. It eannot do Its duty unless the heart muscles are well-nourished and rigorous. What the heart win or will not do depends on the heart muscle. The heart, doing its work as it does by the action of its muscles, eannot work properly unless they are adequately fed, regularly ex ercised and guardtd against pois oning through toxic substances set up in the body or by other poi sons. The food we eat must be pre pared by the blood. The blood eannot do Its good work unless It has a good heart to send it throughout the- body. The heart, too, has to be properly fed and nourished. Today when the tad is to bo thin, manv noor heart- la under nourished. Underfeeding is bound to make the heart suffer. For the muscles of th hndv and muscles of the heart w nwi protein, foods for tissue building lean meats, milk, cheese, the cereals and eees. Ther must regular intake of these foods or me neart grows weak. The heart is hooked nn vith the body so that it sharps il tha benefits as well as all the disad vantages of the body. When you have pain sons in the hod-. ing from ehronle sores, bad teeth and tonsils, chronic Indigestion and constipation, the chances are that your heart will feel the bad effects. Some mineral poisons have a way of undermining the heart ac tion. Lack of iron in the food is another factor. When you walk, run or Indulge in sports the heart beats faster, with shorter rest periods in con sequence. A great and sudden strain is put upon the heart and it has to accommodate itself to the added burden. If the muscles ru wrunea Dy nourishing food and right living you can see that it will be a more efficicent ma chine to bear the great strain put uyvu it. The emotions ate effect upon the heart. News of an accident to someone near to you or any other emotional exper ience which brin on the heart is more easily born u iub aearc u u is in good con dition. When tou taVa m m.f yourself in what you eat, how you exercise, how you work and how you rest, you are storing up the necessarv health and of heart and body necessary for xuiure emergencies. Girls and boys in sehool and college should realize this. ten we hear of the boy or girl who ua oeen over doing in athletics in school or collenv.

"Was I?" he said, cheerfully "Hope I'll hare a chance to be again. See here, Nell, you're not to fall for him, you know. "Mustn't I? All right." She smiled acquiescently, but her mental reservation was that she would do as she pleased. She was good friends with Pete, he admired her greatly, but he hadn't acquired the right to dictate to her about her likes or dislikes of people. Restlessly GIbby wandered about the room, then he went to the booth In the hall and tele phoned. Returning, he said: "I called Craven over. I think I'd like a talk with him. Star" or go, the rest of you, as you like. Aunt Judy went oft to see about some housekeeping mat ters, but the two girls stayed, for lack of anything better to do. Craven, who Uved near, came along soon and asked, "Where's Emily?" "We don't know," Pete repli ed, and then he recounted the sit uation. Craven was amazed and decidedly perturbed. "You don't mean- yon can't mean," he said, "that she's lost!" "She's unexplainably missing," Gibby said. "You can call it lost or whatever you choose. The fact Is that she isn't here, and we don't know where she is. A few of us went out to look for her, without success, and now a few others have gone to look with so far no success, either." "But it's incredible Impossi ble " "Wen. It's so, all the same. Now, what I want yon to tell as, and I'm sure you can make no objections, Is about this money Emily bequeathed to this Swami person." "But that's in her will," Crav en said, " and so It couldn't be paid while she is alive. Moreover, she's to be married on Saturday, and that automatically annuls her will. Perhaps when she makes a new one, which she Intends to do tomorrow, shell cut the Hindu out." "How can a will made tomor row be any more efficacious after her marriage than her present wiu?" "Because aha means not to sign It until after the ceremony; then she will sign her married name, and of course It will stand." "Then, Craven, granting there Is anything wrong about Emily's disappearance, doesn't it look as if the wily heathen bad some thing to do with It?" Everett Craven stared at him. "Abducted her and killed her. so he'd get his mo e.- under her present will? he .-sked bluntly, and Betty gav a little shriek. : Nell flared as Instantly, and said: "Pete Gibby, how dare yon suggest such a thing! It's bad onoagb to hav Emily gone, but to attempt to fasten a crime on that godly man, that holy priest of Vishnu " "Hold on, Nell, yon doa't mean Vtshnn I dont believe you know on heathen god from another! "Do you?" "Weil. X know Ka. the sun god. from the crossword puzzles, and the aula books have taught me a few more. But XU set I know as much about that lingo as your old fakes, does. Look at it. Craven.' Who else could bar any possible motive for wanting to, do away with Emily?' "Pete, you stop!' Betty put her hands over her. ears. "Dont dare mention such unspeakable things. ' "But. Betty, this has to be faced. If we cant find Emily, what can we think of but that she has been carried Off by someone -o i somewhere ' "No, no, I won't hear of it! Pete, she's at some of the neigh bors, some one we haven't even thought of. They got into a game of bridge or something like that and she didn't realize how time flew. I'm going to call up a few people on the telephone.'' "Go on, Betty. It can't do'any harm. Be a little guarded, no use sounding an alarm quite yet." Betty went off to telephone and Everett Craven put his mind on the problem. "I can't see it, Gibby." he said. "It could be done, of course, in a movie or in a melodramatic thril ler, but here in broad daylight, in a civilised community " "It wasn't broad daylight," Pete told him. "It was dusk. And many sr civilised community baa naa crimes on its fair lands. And. I tell you, that Indian is a bad Indian! He would knife a victim as quick as a wink " A low moan from Nell Droved that her belligerent attitud had changed to fear and terror. But Pete went Inexorably on. "What do you know of the man?' he demanded. "Practically nothing." "Exactly what everybody else knows about him. Now give me some other theory any other that will fit the case." "But I don't admit there Is a case," said Craven, rather lame ly. "Why get up auch wild the ories until you see at least a ne cessity for an explanation?" "There is a necessity. Emily is gone.We can't find her. If those chaps out looking for her had had any success, we would have known it before this." "Well, then. Mr. Gibby. if you think, there has been foul play, if Mrs. Bell or Mr. Sayre believe there has been or may have been foul play, then, as you yourself know, the thing to do is to call In the pcrtice.'' "I quite agree to that, and I think it should have been done sooner. However, Mrs. Bell is distinctly opposed to it, and so we'll have to wait for Rodney Sayre's return. He was opposed. also, but I think his common sense will make him agree to It. He doesn't particularly like the Swa mi. but he doesn't dislike him as much as I do. Can't we get a line on that bird at once, withont wait ing for Kod? I dont see how. He was here this evening, wasn't he?" "Yes. talking twaddle aboat mysticism and things. "Emily doesn't care for him, really. I wonder she put that codicil to her win. "He probably hypnotised her into it. Who la Hilldale knows him best?" "Oh, the Stevensons. I guess. They introduced bin here. Want to call them np?" "No, I think I'll go over there. Are they easy people to talk to?" "Delightful. But I'd keep the matter quiet a ltttlo longer, don't you think? The search party may bring some news." - "Cant wait. I v got to move. It Rod comes home, call me at the Stevensons." Feoling the imperative need of action, Gibby went to ta Steven son house? He west cross lots and though th road was a new one to him, h and a fin seas of direction and went straight to bis goal.

J. HENDRICKS- "Oregon's prison problem:" That Is what th Capital Jour nal calls it, and the Portland Tel- e g r a m says there is danger of a holocaust at the Oregon pent tentiary, and th other Portland news papers demand Immediate ac tion in elimin ating Imminent fire risks atthe institution. " S f Th Oreeon- S-S ,?J t V ian of Thurs day last pub- R.. Hendricks lished a communication from Os wald West, whv was governor of Oregon from 1911 to 1915. as fol lows: "The news from Ohio is ap palling, yet we have In our state penitentiary just as great a fire trap. Several of our governors, in cluding myself, called that fact to the attention of the legislature and the people, but without re sults. The destruction of our pris on by fire and a necessary accom panying loss of life was my con stant fear while governor, in the Ohio disaster stands our warning. Unless we heed it, it is only a question of time we will get ours." Referring to this, the editorial page of the Oregonlan of the same date has a long article, under the heading, "Ohio's Lesson for Ore gon," la which on finds, among many other things: "Prisons should not only afford security to society; and teach tha lesson that society imposes for this is but the half of it but they must also afford the Inmates them selves security against undeserved and terrible fates. They are men that we have sentenced to prison, fellow creatures, beings of our own kind. The law does not con template that they should be caused to suffer needlessly, or to yield up their lives that the pub lic purse may be the heavier. So ciety does not intend it. No voice is raised aave that of sympathy and horror at the thought. There should, of course, be an official inquiry but in an ineluctable sense it is untimely. The time for an official inquiry was before the fire . . . The time to hold an In quiry into the Oregon peniten tiary, to determine its susceptibil ity to tire, to institute at whatever expenditure the most efficient safeguards against fire, to pro vide a well seasoned plan and dis cipline wherewith to meet a not improbable emergency, is not to morrow, nor this autumn, nor next year. It is now." "a S The Capital Journal thinks the construction of new buildings on the present penitentiary site is a mistake, saying: "What is needed is the abandonment 'of the present site, which will soon be in the heart of the city, the selection of a new site further removed, and the construction of a modern, fire proof prison with ample acreage for prison farms, Industrial build ings and future expansion. The present site can be sold for indus trial and residential purposes land the proceeds used to finance the new prison. The more money spent upon the old structure, which ere long must be abandoned, the greater loss to the state." "m The "what is needed" is cor rect. But how to get it is the big question. In 1917, the people of Oregon voted down a $400,000 tax levy for a new penitentiary, nearly two to one; with 86.165 against and only 46.666 votes for th measure. "W The industries of tha neniten- tlary, with the money from sales of the present property, could fi nance an entirely new prison, on a 1500 acre tract, which it should V 1 Tttflili ill " i i il SPEND A DAY SAFEGUARDING THE WORK OF A LIFETIME.

But in th mean time, the institution must be con ducted, and the new buildings just erected and-expected to b built at once ere necessary for the increased population. There is no way to get away from the pressing demands. Beside that, the cost of construction, compared with outside work, is small. Cuyler Van Patten, well know Salem archi tect, says th new administration building was erected at lees than a third of what it would have cost on the outside. Also, the steel work can all be taken to th new site, when it is provided and much of the other materials. Both Superintendent Henry W. Meyers and Warden James W. Lewis urge the necessity for entirely new prison on a new site runner rrom the center of th city or the complete reconstruction of the present orison, in order ta get any where near the safety lim it irom Qisastrous fires. S But SOmethlne mora nnrlit t be said. Former Governor West should hear it. The something more is that there has been a vast improvement lately in the safety devices at the Oregon prison. A great deal of new hose has beea added. And many more fir ex tinguishers har been purchased. There is plenty of water avail able. More explicit rules hay been made and instructions given, la case of fire. Over charged power wires have been removed. Many menaces of various kinds have been done away with almost too numerous to inentton. Scores of dangers have been minimised. No dust is allowed to collect any where in the flax scutching and threshing quarters. This is look ed after, day and night. A sprink ler system is being put in, for the main prison. There is new out side fire escape from the hospital; also new fir escapes for the ad ministration building. The water pipes have beea increased In else; also the pressure has been in creased. V s s In fact, everything that is hu manly possible, with the present construction, has been done or is being done, to minimize the dan ger of a fire starting, and to in crease the likelihood of putting out any blaze that may start or be started And to make it as nearly im possible as may be for lives to be sacrificed to the fire demon, in case of a general conflagration. Discipline has a lot to do with safety in this matter. There is no general spirit of unrest at the Ore gon penitentiary. The great ma jority of the men know everything is being done for them that Is in reason and with present means and facilities can be done. A con siderate proportion of them are receiving a daily wage, and those who understand the situation know this Is likely to extend to every worker before very long. S There is no idleness. Men work wlUtnelv and efficiently, as a rcn- eral rule, with or without a dally wage, in this respect, the Oregon prison will bear comparison with the best of them In this or any other country. m S S Tf ther ta a way to sneed na the full solution of "Oregon'v nrlinn nrnhlftm " tha nut h nna. sesses the knowledge of it will confer a favor upon his state aad his country by giving It to the public.
