(Hdlino fcfr Examiner). Kino weath

P. RESIDENT POIXCARR'S latest restrictions on the proposed re
exuniination of Oermun reparations really are not as alarming
:is they Bound. , n
For while they show France is not friendly to Secretary Hughes'
proposal, this fact was evident from the outset.
The important point is to have such a conference held, for regard
less of the technical obstacles, nothing can prevent such a conference
from clearing the muddled and hostile atmosphere, with which the
question of reparations is surrounded.
What the world wants, what all fair-minded people want, is light.
There is a xtrong disposition in this country, to regard all statements
from the countries particularly interested, as mere propaganda.
What America wants are the facts.
Regardless of the official status of the proposed conference, there
fore, whether its findings are merely advisory or mandatory, really
makes little practical difference, for out of the gathering, it is almost
certain, the main facts will eventually ainergo.
So the disposition io London to condemn Poincare for his Sunday
"sermon" appears somewhat needless and ill-advised. Far belter
to accept the French president's restrictions gracefully, proceed to the
conference and let nature take its course.
Such a conference can't possibly make conditions worse across the
water. And there is an excellent chance of such a conference making
them better.
So let's have it. And not waste time and energy in squabbling
over the precise conditions under which it is to bo held.

States not mentioned In the list
either have no hay fever resorts or, if
they claim such places, the relief af
forded is so problematic that I omit
them as poor bets.
Any movo to find relief from hay
fover is more or loss a gamblo until
tho victim has tried it for himself.
Of course, It all depends on getting
away from the particular pollen-which
may be responsible in tho given case.
Sometimes the simplest way to do
this is to visit a largo city, remain In
tho heart of It, where no weeds flour
ish unless perehanco In somo vacant
lot. A sea voyage temporarily leaves
the pollen far behind, or a great hikes
voyage, or a sojourn in a mountain
resort at considerable altitude, or the
victim may just -pray hard for a long
heavy rain, which washes the pollen
out of the air and brings relief for
days,
If ono can't afford to travel or live
away from home and can't persuade
tho rain to come, my best bet would
be the use of warm boric acid solu
tion (teaspoonful to pint of boiled
water) as a nasal spray and a gargle
three or four times daily and a good
doso of calcium chloride or calcium
lactate Internally three times a day
after meals throughout the season. A
good dose is half a teaspoonful of
either the chloride or the lactate, well
dissolved in a glassful of water. If
this does not disturb the stomach, it
often proves a valuable relief.
Peoplo who really suffer seasonal
hay fever ought, to bo tested with pol
len extracts to determine what Is re
sponsible and then Immunized against
tho responsible, pollen 'before the sea
son arrives. This, any. good doctor
can do. ' ' -
QUESTIONS A XT) ANSWERS.
Children Wanted.
Yes, we have no bambinos; we think
seriously of adopting some, ,say a
small baby girl to begin with. Where
would you suggest we should look for
one? What blood tests or other pre
cautions would you advise o make
sure the baby Is free from inherited
taint or disease ?D. . S.
Answer Your modest want may bo
filled almost anywhere. Lucky you
don't crave a boy bimbo. Get In
touch with a city maternity hospital,
orphan asylum or maybe a Salvation
Army officer. Have your physician
givo the child an examination before
you proceed with adoption. (Parents
of girl babies please do not bo In-q
dignant. I frankly concede that girl
bubics are just grand when you can t
have boys).
Calories.
How many calories does one burn
or consume by walking a mile In the
open air? Does uphill or downhill
make any difference? How much
food value In a glass of natural but
termilk? D. M.
Answer From 200 to GOO calories,
according to your weight, manner of
walking, swinging arms, etc. This is
just my estimate. I know of no

A I-OTOmotivo Ftn-mnn'B Plaintive
'ry
'"Locomotive? Fireman" writPB in to

' Why do most of 'the gills in this
to(vn seem to want tho -company of
. ' Bhleks and those
fellowa whoso
chief claim to
distinction is that
they are pood
dancers " It IS
a perfectly good
iiuestion. Hut the
fact is they
don't! That I.';,
only whilo a t;irl
is llvlntr In tho
silly stutfe of her
development. The
feminine charac
ter has a silly
season. Just ns the calendar year has
its silly period. A girl passes through
a sort of total eclipse of pood sense,
and while this painful season is on,
she is fond of shicks. and she imag
ines dnnclnir is tho ono divine thine
In the world. Hut tho silly season
passes, and the popularity of thicks
wanes oven as yon harvest moon. Vhe
hoy with promnded locks, and the
hell pantaloons, and tho dancing
pumps, passoth into a cloud and equil
ihrilm of tho younjy damosclle's cos
mos is restored. She begins to take
interest In what's going orj ostside

presently she- is t-afc, sane nnd 100
actual measurements of the calories ' r 11111 "ung laoy. men the rcgu
burned. Upgrade walking of course
consumes more energy. A glass of
buttermilk yields about 70 calories.
Teacher and Uio Left Handed - Pupil.
What do you advise about teaching
a left-handed boy to write? He Is
very high' strung and temperamontal,
but willing to try. Ho uses the left
hand, for everything. His father Is a
very fine lti 'handed, ( wijer, but
backhand. I, his mother, was natu
rally left handed, but was forced to
change to right handedness when I
entered school. I was not 'so thor
oughly left handed as he Is Mrs, J.
H. O.
Answer A child who has a naturnl
preference for the use of the left
hand in writing or other fine work,
should not be forcibly changed to
right handedness. There are many In
stances of stuttering apparently caus
ed by forcible change; I believe but
cannot prove that such forced change
is likely to make a person neurotic.
When Dentists Dlsnsreo.
Our dentist says my teeth would
havo lasted longer if when I was very
young I had had four of my jaw teeth
extracted, to keep the teeth from
being so terribly crowded that it Is
almost Imposslblo to clean between
them. Mrs. W. J. A.
Answer Some people still believe
the best way to save teeth is to havo
them extracted. But the better den
tists now carefully fill cavities in baby
teeth instead of extracting.
