Navy Chief Emphasizes Need Of Full Fleet for United States WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. (P) Em phasizing the uncertainty of the out come of the London naval conference, Secretary Swansea In his annual re port reiterated a strong recommen dation that the American navy be built up to the full strength author ized In the Washington end London pacts. "The situation In regard to treaties Jor limitation of naval armaments still remains uncertain and It is im possible to predict the nature ot fu ture treaties, If any, he said In his annual report. '"For the present," he said American naval policy was unchanged and he recommended that plans for building new warships to the total 1,133.600 tonnage permitted under the treat ies "be continued without change." President Roosevelt naa already en dorsed that viewpoint by reaffirming the attention of the United States to oppose any bigger navies at the London parley, and to continue this nation's naval construct ton program. Swanson reported "substantial progress" was beln$ made In Increas ing the navy, with 86 ships, totaling 383.150 tons, now building end ap propriated for.

President Roosevelt has under con sideration the possibility of building a new battleship to replace the old Arkansas. Swanson revealed that oth er over age battleships might be ecrapped and replaced by new fight ing craft. "Upon the expiration of the pres ent treaties certain battleships will be over age, and, subject to further agreements, the matter of replace ments must be considered," he said. The battleships Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Arizona reanh the treaty replacement age of 30 years during 1036, and the Mississippi be comes over age in 1037. "A further great need, not yet pro vided for Is a force of auxiliary ves sels of Improved characteristics and In sufficient numbers for adequate operating maintenance of the com batant forces," the secretary said.

New auxiliaries should be provided by a progressive program such as Is now under way for combatant ships ... as won as practicable." E TO SPEED RECOVERY WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.

Berry emphasled that the rlvlslons h. suggested be changed If desired by either Industry or labor, saying: ine groupings we have suggested are In no sense arbitrary. Industry and labor representatives are per fectly free to appeal from our pro posed organization of the confer ence, and to sit with tho group wnicn tney believe Is most directly concerned with their particular In terests. Colncldentally, It we said at Berry's headquartera that American Federation of Labor unions would be represented "100 per cent."

Beverly UlU.. Cat. OCR IMPERVIOUS HIDE. The best medical authorities still believe that certain substance, are absorbed through the unbroken skin. To cite Just one. there is A 1 1 e e Hamilton, M.D., whose works on Industrial Pol sons and Toxi cology are clas sics of modern medical liters, ture. Most good phy sicians probably still harbor con victions about this. Many chem ists, pharmacists, research workers and others of scien tific bent are quite positive that one thing or another Is absorbed through the unbroken skin. Of course, I don't know any more than the next doctor does whether anything Is or can be so sbsorbed. But I don't believe the Intact skin can absorb anything, and I am will ing to have the question tested on my skin, provided the tests be prop erly controlled to protect against Inhalation of any of the poison which Is applied to my skin, and provided the results of the test be reported to the public or to the coroner, as the case may be and both sides agree In advance to abide by the results and to cut out the controversy upon the aubject. Alice Hamilton says tetraethyl lead la absorbed through the skin. AH right. Apply It to my skin. A lot of medical men, pharma cists, chemists and folks who be lieve all they read and do not think much for themselves have assured me that plenty of lodln or mercury salve or belladonna, or nitroglycerin applied to my skin will soon change my mind. O. K. If you can get a quorum, hire a hall and procure a supply of the stuff, I'll come on for the experiment. But you've got to do It In the open. No skulldug gery or anonymous monkeyshlnes. The lntest devastating "scientific" evidence against me Is the dogmatic assertion by research Investigators that they have proved that vita min D la absorbed through the skin of rats, whether It Is applied in the form of fish liver oil or the artificial Irradiated product known aa vlos terol. Baloney. No one know, as yet whether vitamin D Is a substance or an Influence or what. Even If we knew that vitamin D Is a substance, CLOSE TO 300,000 SALEM. Nov. 30.

Nov. 30 (AP) Bob Hurst ar.d Deloert Hill. Aurora you 5, f oi rcl tt-f botfY of an un-:cr-r".f - ; .ni in Pudding river near lere T.'.r ;-vkrts of ihe man's , clothing were weighted lta rocks. you could not sc'entlficslly deduce absorption through the skin from such an experiment. The compara tively minute quantity a rat would have to ingest to prevent or cure rickets might easily be Ingested in the ordinary way, by the rat lick ing Itself or scratching Itself or rubbing against a surface and then licking the feet or the surfaces on which the skin has been rubbed. Such an experiment is no more significant than the common one of painting lodln on the skin and shortly afterward finding lodln in the urine. lodln is volatile enough, and unless the experiment Is con trolled so as to prevent Inhalation of the volatilised lodln, it proves nothing. The same criticism applies to the old fancy that mercury ointment la absorbed through the skin. Most physicians today know better, and mercury ointment 1. now rarely ap plied where systemic action of mer cury Is required, because no one can Judge how much or how little mercury will be Inhaled when the medicine Is so administered. I Insist all these misguided doc tors and others who believe the skin absorbs things are crazy, and I'll back this with my own precious hide any time. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Oily, Shiny Nose.

GOOD news is contained In this headline: "Killer and Kidnaper Captured." The killer-kidnaper Is Douglas Van Vlack. who abducted bis former wile and when stopped by officers shot two of them one dead on the spot and the other so badly that he has only a fighting chance of recovery. Now that he 1. captured, here's hoping he la convicted and hanged. Convicting and banging them u about the only way to get rid ot criminal beasts like that. 4-4 THIS paragraph in the story Is in teresting : "Overcome by the cold, disheveled and FRIGHTENED, Van Vlack -was found, lying In a roadside ditch two mile, north of Holllster. (Near Twin Falls, Idaho.) These killer, are bold and brasn when things are going their way, but not o bold when the tide turns against them. PROBABLY yoiTre getting tired of war talk, but that's about all there Is In the news. Here Is some typical war talk: This dispatch comes from Addis Ababa: The Ethiopian government s&iq its forces under Ras Desta had forced the Italians out of Corahei and Gorlagubl by an encircling move ment originating at Dolo." And this dispatch comes from Rome: One hundred Ethiopians, Includ ing two provincial governors, were reported killed In an official com munique Issued here, describing a battle north of Dolo. Italian losses were announced as four native sol diers killed, five wounded and two missing." f WHEN this warnews is OFFICIAL news, you see, you can't believe a word of It. Each side claims the victory. WHY do honest correspondents of American newspapers send out such stuff. The answer Is that that's all they're PERMITTED to send out, Government censors see to that. Remember, please, that If the government ever gets Its fingers on the press In this country, which is one of the few countries In the world having a free press, you won't be able to believe the news you read in peace time. Honest news and censorship don't go together. THIS war news paragraph is at least worth reading: "Rain over all fronts Impeded somewhat the preparations for new Italian advances, Italian patrols sloshing through persistent down pours In pursuing enemy bands from the Temblen and Gheracla dis tricts." Fighting ALONE. It will be im possible for the primitive Ethiopians to do much against modernly armed Italian forces. But If the weather FIGHTS WITH THEM, they might accomplish something.
