Hunt-en ara urgea, as usual, to be careful, positively Identify what they ara supposed to be shooting at aa a deer, ana scraicn the phone numbers' of the coroner and a doctor on the wooden end , of their rifles. An exchange boasts an editor-in-chief, editor, assistant editor, news editor, country correspondence editor, managing editor, church editor, and society editor. It Is suspected that In the background there Is a re porter doing 90 per cent of the work, while the editors ara swarm ing to a conference. ' The rambunctlousneas of Italy for war with Ethiopia, underwent a swift diplomatic change yesterday. After defying the world, and an-, nounclng there would be "no com-: promise," Italy announces she did not mean It. Peace will be considered If the "League will be reasonable." The League la expected to be aa rea sonable as Italy waa not. A young man was caught riding standing up on the front fender ol an auto, going at a lively clip. This was a neat bit of dare-deviltry re quiring the sure -footed ness of a Rocky Mt. goat In case of a sudden stop. A timid companion was re clining on the running board, In stead of standing on his head on a bumper. The blood of a circus acro bat did not flow In the veins of the driver, as he was doing nothing but drive. j HOI HUM! 1 (Clara (Nev.)

Lord Ponsonby has resigned. He resigned at the outbreak of the world war for the same reason. He is a pacifist. .Other leaders in the Labor party threaten to do the name thing. They don't like the idea of invoking sanctions against Italy, if Mussolini insists upon war. To take such action on the basis of DEVOTION TO WORLD PEAf!E. strikes us. as strangely inconsistent. It is as if, a citi zen should object to police action, on the ground enforcement of the law, would be disturbing the peace. ENGLAND is a member of the League of Nations. The cove nant nraanrihaa sanctions. or coercive economic action, when a member of the Leagues, waging an aggressive war. ; Obviously such action is in charter member of the League. Far from being a step toward effective step to PREVENT war. The motive behind it. is not serve it. True it might lead to responsibility, but Italy s. IN fact England's position, as we see it, is very much like that of the London police force in case of a threatened local uprising. The sworn duty of the police force is to uphold law and order, and prevent destruction and bloodshed. Assume the trouble makers, barricade themselves in a house, and fire upon anyone who approaches. All right. The London police surround the house, cut off liuht and heat and water, and await results. Internationally speaking they are invoking sanctions. WOULD Lord Ponsonby and his fellow pacifists, oppose such action, on the eround of their devotion to law and order and their opposition to the use of force t WflivHv. And vet essentially that is their position in oppos ing their present government, when it takes the only effective actionjegalized by the League, to prevent' Italy from invading and crushing Ethiopia. MOST right-thinking people are THEORETICALLY pacifists. That is thev acknowledee the horror, the brutality and the usclessncss of war, as a medium of international settlement. Rut when PROFESSIONAL sentatives in England do, the irreparably, and people of sense future to have nothing to do with circumstances. And in this instance they are Vnr ns matter of fact failure ment in its present support of the League, is precisely what Mussolini has been banking on from the outset. He figured England would never secure sufficient support at home to justi fy a firm stand against his invasion ot Ethiopia, so ne arro- eantlv and insolently, dofied Britain's threats, and rattling tne sabre proceeded on his swashbuckling way. IN other words these professed Jovers of peape in England, have by their muddle headed fanaticism, not only failed to pro mote ceacc. but bv playing into the hands of Mussolini, have done everything they could to FURTHER war. Tt. ! an often thus. .The worst so frequently those who lose frenzied zeal to advance it. Comment on the Day's News Uy FRANK JENKINS THIS dispatch comts from Geneva: "The Italian delegation to the League o( Nation, Informed the As sociated Press tonight (Tuesday) that If the league councll'e report on the Italo-Ethloplan situation li rtasona ble It will be made the basis for ne gotiations by Italy." M EVIDENTLY Oreat Britain DID ssy to Italy: "If you go ahead and Jump onto little Ethiopia, we'll KNOCK YOUR BLOCK OFP." THIS dispatch Is from Washington: 1 "Total Income tax payments during the first It days of September amounted to aaai,018,4.83.74, figure approximately 190.000,000 greater than last year, the treasury reported to day." TV.EASINQ enough, for tne present, I because It tndlcstes that In lJ4 In which the Incomes on which this tax Increase waa baaed Incomes were larger than In 103S, Larger Incomes mean better busi ness snd more prosperity, which we all want. IT ISN'T qulte"so!eaant when we reflect that In the tulure. when the billions that are now being spent so recklessly are being REPAID, taxes will have to be higher EVERY YEAR than the year before, regardless of whether or not Incomes are higher. ANOTHER thought: Income tax payments In the first 10 ds.ts of September this year are SIXTY MILLION dollars ahead of the same period of last year. That sounds like a lot of money. It 18 a lot of money. TVT listen! O This sixty million dollsrt In crease In tax payments will last the government of the United States, at Ha present rale of spending, just TWO AND A QUARTER DAYS. insists as Italy insists, upon the Iineof England s duty as a war, it is a step and the only to break the peace but to pre war. But this is not England's pacifists behave as these repre cause they represent is injured and judgment, resolve m inc such a movement, under any right. to support the British govern enemies of a good cause, arc their mental balance, in their It takes a lot of money to keep a spendthrift going. ONE mora dlapstch and we'll call It a day. It comes from Ontario. California: "Two score nudists encamped at 'Arcadia' colony were forced to evac uate their camp Monday In the path of a fire raging over the Sierra Madre mountains.

Even the government, which Is Santa Claus to everybody, ahouldn't feel obliged to come te the help ot these stricken sufferers. POTATO DIGGING WAGE SCALE IS INCREASED KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., Sept. 10.

ABERRANT Eating unnatural things such as ashes, soil, chalk, coal, charcoal, laundry starch, sand, graphite (pen cils), plaster, clay, wood , Is called pica. None .1 of the things mentioned is ...tl snl.elv '-f$t ''.y! harmful In Itself. "V 1 If Some persons hare abnormal craving to chew and swallow things which may be harmful In them selves, such aa bits of thread, the enda of their own hair, meta'i foil, and such foreign substances may accumu late and eventually cause serious ob struction. A child who had the habit of biting the ends ot her hsir at about the age of 12 years suffered an attack resembling acute peritonitis, and at operation one large ball or mass of bits of hair was found In the stomach, another In the Intestine. Insane persons often eat or s willow strange things. But It is usually no sign of Insanity or mental deficiency that a person has the craving for odd things. During expectancy the pros pective mother may have such odd cravings, and thla has no particular significance, at least It la usually a harmless peculiarity. N The -popular explanation for such aberrant taste Is that the Individual lacks something, perhaps minerals or more particularly lime calcium ). and the queer craving la nature's cry for the element which is lacking. . I don't know whether there Is any foundation for thla popular fancy. We might arrive at a better understand ing of the matter If we could stuay the health status and metabolism of, say, a hundred children with pica and a hundred prospective mothers with pronounced cravings for odd things. More than ever before I incline to the belief that nutritional deficiency haa much to do with aberrant appe tite. Thla because we know now that there Is a lack of mineral elements, notably calcium and phosphorus, ea well as a lack of vitamins, in a great many diets which we formerly con sidered well balanced and entirely adequate In all respects. Clay eaters In certain districts In the south are anemic, weak, poor, no account. Presumably they become in NEW YORK DAY BY DAY Ry O. O. Mclntyrc NEW YORJC, Sept. 19.

But the usual mode of entrance for hook worms is via toe Itch, or dew Itch, the larvae setting up a dermatitis ot the feet, particularly between the toes, and penetrating the akin, entering the circulation, being carried through the veins to the lungs, thence work ing up Into the throat, so that they are swallowed and finally lodge in the duodenum. Another plausible explan ation for the anemia of clay eaters is pellagra, from the notorious vitamin deficiency (particularly G) of the com meal, tea, 'lasses and salt pork fare of many poor people In the south. Failure of appetite from di minished or absent gastric secietlon Is a common feature of pellagra. One harmless. Indeed beneficial remedy I would suggest for any one with such perverted taste: Chew and swallow a handful of plain wheat every day. . QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS v Tonsil Removal Is a person more likely to develop cancer of the throat from the scar left by surgical removal of the ton alls? (L.C.) Answer No. If the tonsils are In fected or troublesome, removal by any good method would rather decrease the chance of developing cancer of the throat. In my opinion diathermy extirpation of the tonsils is preferable to old-fashioned snare and guillotine "surgery." Eat Then Sleep Have always had my 45 kindergar ten children rest or nap before lunch, as I thought It bad for one to sleep Immediately after eating . . . (Miss H. W. R.)
