Old- fashioned folks have long opposed easy access to family arsenals by youths, and feel a good cry was a better cure for emotional woes than six -shooter. A number of cltzens met yester day and laughed about the depres sion. Their giggling would have been more timely during the depression, when laughter was regarded a a low form of disrespect and flippant trea son, and none present were guilty. A San Francisco attorney suggests the way to remove Klansman Black from the highest tribunal, at t'JO.OOO per annum. Is for the President to order the disbursing cgent of the government to cease Issuing him (Black) pay-checks. Thta sounds plausible snd logical, as ways and means to wean him away from a fancy paying post. However, It Is probably Illegal, because a lawyer thought of It first. There Is so much talk of peace, the dsnger of war grows. The Amertrsn cruiser Augusta Is still anchored In the danger rone at Shanghai, In fine position to be hit by a stray shell, and be grounds for combat.

COME time Jgo this column predicted that, in this far eastern crisis, history would repeat itself. In spite of this country overwhelming determination to keep out of war, Japan we prophesied would soon be playing the role, Germany played, when the Kaiser's battle-grey legions. marched through Belgium. And that if the Chino-Jap war lasted for three years, Uncle Sam would be in that war, by 1940, as it was in the world war by 1917. IN the light of present developments, that prediction appears conservative. The popular feeling against Japan today, is fully as intense, and far more universal, than it was against Germany in J914. If Japan HAS any friends or defenders in this country, they have not to date become vocal. In 1914, President Wilson's first official cognizance, of the war in Europe was to demand a strict neutrality in word and deed. The man in the street soon interpreted this executive order, with characteristic Yankee humor and realism. "Sure I air. neutral" quoth he, "I don't care who licks Germany 1" IITHEN Japan, started its armed invasion of China, this country had, and still has, a strict neutrality law, binding itself to aid no country at war, and to confine its efforts to prevent war, to "peaceable procedure only." But what do we see nowt The President of the United States urging world wide action against Japan, and the state( depart ment formally condemning the Japanese invasion of China. Today a boycott against Japan is being seriously discussed in Washington. Could such action be interpreted as adopting "peaceable procedure onlyf Boycotting a nation at war, has never been so accepted. According to press dispatches from Washington today, the United States could not join in such a boycott, until the neutrality act had been amended. Have no four. If President Roosevelt calls a special session of congress, it will be. And so we tumble along, willy-nilly toward another foreign war I Not that there is any declaration of war against Japan in the cards at the present writing. Far from it. But let the Chino-Jap conflict continue three years more, until Japan, powerful and war like nation, has conquered China, and enraged at America's hostility, turns a vengeful and predatory eye. toward the Philippines, Hawaii, and the inadequately protected shore line of the richest country in the world 1 Personal Health Service By William Brady, M D. aimed letters pertaining to personal heaim ana ojtlene. not to disease diacnutu or treatment.

CORRECTION OF B PINAL CURVATURE C3 HPHEN where would we be, ladies and gentlemen t We would be PRECISELY where we feared we would be in 1917, if we didn't join the allies, and with every resource at our com mand, render a German victory impossible. There was a great dnal of oratory about fighting to make this country sfe for democracy, but- the real mainspring of our militant, effort, was to protect this country, from a victorious Germany. ' Have you forgotten the popular argument at that timet "Let the Kaiser win in Europe, nnd where would we bet With Europe at his feot, Uncle Sam would be his uext victim, with his back to the wall, and no ally to call upon!" Fantastic, absurd t In the cool perspective of over two de cades, that may be the verdict, but it certainly wasn't the verdict in 1917. And it won't be the verdict in 1940, if it takes Nippon that long to get what she wants in the Far East. FOR when war is concerned, it isn't what is TRUE, it is what f lin nas-.nl UVT . IK1 VP ia k liB nt rta T give us comfort to blame the wicked munition makers, for whip ping the people of a country into a war frenzy, but give the people a set of circumstunces that will arouse hate and fear, add to that the inevitable mob spirit, and the muntion makers need do nothing but stand pat. go over to a night-and-day shift, and shovel in tlmir profits. Those circumstances existed in 1917, they exist potentially today, and it takes no seventh son of a seventh-son, to see that the seeds now being sown will bear the. inevitable harvest, unless in someway peace in the Far Enst is soon restored. TIIAT is undoubtedly why the Roosevelt administration has taken such drastic and unexpected action. But, as previ ously stated, words will never halt Japan, neither will speeches nor pious resolutions. If any doubt remained, Japan removed it yesterday ity its defiance of the nine-power conference, before it has convened. However, also as before stated Japan could be baited, if the world powers, all of them joined together against Japan, m a hard aud fast trade boycott, neither selling to her nor buying from her, until she called back the dogs of war. We were interested to see that no less a personage than Senator Key Pitt man of Nevada, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, entirely agrees with the Medford Mail Tribune (ahem!) We quote a Reno dispatch: The chairmen of the eenate forelfn alUira committee. Senator Key Pitt man, aala today that Japan's invasion of China oouid be at-ppKl m 30 daya without the firing of e alngle ehot If other nations would oatraclxe Japan. He recommended that the "clvtlleed governments" refuse to have any commercial or credit relations with Japan. Said tie' "Such action la more power mi than the army or nsvy of the United States No government can conduct war under such ostracism." ' That sounds easy doesn't itt And reasonable too, for while that would cost a few hundred millions, u general war, which as we see it is the only alternative, would cost hundreds of billions, and millions of human lives as well. But will such a boycott ever be declared t Not more than one chance in a million. And let one industrial nation, properly equipped with shipping facilities stay out. and such a boycott would be ineffective, as far as Japan is concerned. For if she means what she says she is going on with the war in China, REGARDLESS. And so long as she can get adequate war supplies from ibroad. fhe can do this without normal foreign trade and with Diit credit from abroad. A nation determined to fight doesn't need money, as long as it has a printing press, an adequate food supply, and there is no uprising m home. A'D here we come to the one ray of sunshine in the sur- rounding gloom as far as the Far Eastern crisis is con cerned. Not the crushing or checking of Japan from without, but the break-up of Japan from within. The other day we told of the 1m portance of muscular Insufficiency as a cause of spinal curvature. If a boy or girl developing spinal curv ature Is not prop erly treated more or less fixed de formity Is Inev- 1 1 a b 1 e as the child grows up. To estimate In a , given case whether the curvature Is still mainly function al, measure the height as the child stands In the usual post tlon. Then see how much the child can Incrase the height by standing as tall as possible. If there Is a difference of more than one-half Inch the outlook for correction without surgical treat ment Is good. Surgical trea tment Implies chiefly the application of cast or brace and special corrective exer cises to be prescribed and supervised by the physician or orthopedic sur geon In each Individual case. The first step In the correction of functional curvature, which Is due almost wholly to muscular Insuffici ency, Is a thorough health txamln a tlon, Including, of course, careful consideration of the child's general hygiene, diet, hours of study, hours of play. Nutritional deficiency Is a common factor of muscular weakness or In sufficiency and the fatigue and strain to which the malnourished Individ a is are subject. This does not mean that the Individual does not get enough to eat. Rather It means that the diet Is deficient In one or more essentials of optimal nutrition. There may be a lack of Iron, of lodln, of phosphorus, of calcium. Moat fre quently, I believe, the growing child suffers from deficiency of vitamins, particularly vitamins D. B and O. Even If the diet provides adequate amounts of phosphorus, calcium and Iron. It Is still necessary that the dally Intake of vitamins D. B and a b more generous than ordinary foods can provide. In order to Insure nor mal assimilation and utilization of these elements In metabolism, growth, vlte. An effective, agreeable and economical way to supplement the diet with these vitamins Is the eat ing of a dozen, more or less, Irra diated yeast tablets dally. Not or dinary yeast, which ferments and Is relatively poor In vitamins; but a selected strain of yeast which la rich in erRonterol. Tills does not ferment In the digestive tract, Is relatively rich In vitamins, and the ergosterol In It la converted Into vlosterol, vita min D, by ultraviolet rays of a spe cific wave length. I would advise also a dally ration of at least two or three ounces of wheat germ, In one dish or another, for every young person who has mus cular Insuflclency, whether spinal curvature la developing or not. Health food stores generally have wheat germ at few cents a pound. A little of It may be used In any recipe call ing for wheat flour, or mixed with any creal dish. If the young person Is unaccount ably tired, drowsy, mopish, or has any sign of simple goitre, she should have an lodln ration. blindfold through the streets wearing a gold suit to find the bidden key, and who put his subject to sleep in the drug store window 48 hours be fore he awakened him on the stage of the opera house.

"When an epidemic of physical dis ease starts to spread," he declared, "the community Joins In a quaran tine of the patients In order to pro tect the health of the community against the spread of disease." WHAT he means to Infer Is that when war threatens to spread the nations of the world should Join together to SUPPRESS THE WAR. IT Is a resounding declaration of a new policy, delivered with the President's customary fondness fot dramatic surprise. But let's not for get this sober second thought: War-mad nations can't be quaran tined with words. It will have to be done, if It Is done, WITH GUNS.

I have visited Coffeyvllle. Kansas, where the Dalton boys rode and where Emmett as 31 was filled with gunshot trying to rob a bank. The Dalton and James boys were our heroes In the kid days In Missouri. My birthplace is only a short drive from Liberty. Mo., where Frank ana Jesse James lived. I never saw Jesse, but as a reporter I once interviewed his son who was running a pawn shop In Kansas City. But I met Frank James, Jesse's brother, many times. He was a friend of my fattier and always stayed at the tatter's hotel. There was one summer eve ning when I Mt on his lap in gar mouthed awe while he yarned with my Dad. W HEN we quarantine a house In disease, we don't Just print a notice In the papers. We send the police. And the police ARE ARMED. If we Join In a "quarantine" of war-inclined nations, we will have to send SOLDIERS. Otherwise the concerted action the President speaks of will be as ineffective as the un armed league of nations has been. THE nations that don't want war are those that already have theirs and want to keep what they have. The nations that DO want war are the HAVE-NOTS. Before we Join with the haves for the suppression of the have-nots, we should understand very clearly that what we are doing will lead us sooner or later INTO A FIGHT.
