NAVAL ADVANCE
The average citizen naturally measures a navy's
strength In terms of its fighting ships A naval strate-
gist has other standards. Prosaic things like drydocks.
naval yards and so on figure very largely in his
calculations.
So it is that the American navy plans to spend
•15.000000 on the moat amazing floating drvdock ever
designed. This craft will be more than 1000 feet long
•nd 165 feet wide. It will have a pointed bow and a
stern gale winch can be oiiened so that fighting ships
can be taken aboard.
It will accommodate the largest naval vessels in-
cluding the giant aircraft carriers Lexington and
Saratoga. It can be towed at a speed of ten knot*-
something absolutely unheard of for structure* of
this type
This will make little stir In the mind of the lay-
man. To naval strategists it is one of the most In-
teresting developments In recent naval history For If
It works It will enable a fleet to make its base when-
ever It finds a d»*ep harbor.
It will give the navy a flexilibilnj and a freedom
from fixed base* such a.- no naial commander here-
tofore has ever thought possible.

UNSHAPELY EXTERNAL EARS CAN BE MADE
NORMAL BY PLASTIC SURGERY
. There u much more to the ear than appears on
the outside of the head although that is the part
that ia prominent and gives us a lot of concern.
Besides the external ear. there are what we call
the middle ear and the internal ear.
The external ear include* the part that is^on
the outside and the small canal which runs down
as far as the eardrum. It Is a collection of skin
and other tissue such as cartilage and muscle. In
most human beings the muscles are merely rem-
nants of the large ones possessed by animals
so that few people are able to move their ears
easily.
There are really very few conditions affecting
the external ear that are disturbing to the aver-
age person Sometimes large portions of the ear
may be absent at birth. Occasionally the ears pro-
ject In an extremely unsightly manner. All these
extraordinary appearances now can be controlled
by plastic surgery.
A competent expert is able to fasten back the
ear If It sticks out to rebuild an ear out of other
tissue and to modify the chape of the ear if It is
unshapely.
• • •
Many mothers believe that lop ears are caused
by children sleeping with ears crumpled under their
heads or wearing hats pressed down on their
ears. There is no evidence however that the**
j factors are reallv of any Importance. The fault
j is one of anatomical development. Manipulation
and bandaging the ears to hold them against the
head will not rormt such condition
Small tumors occasionally will develop on the
outer ear. These may be removed If they show the
slightest tendency to growth or irritation.
The ear mav be Infected by pimples or boils
or by an Infection of the tvpe of erysipelas which
causes It to swell to tremendous slate Such condi-
tion* should have the best available survival treat-
ment to present destruction and damage that would
require plastic surgery for repair
• • •
One of the most common forms of injury to
the external ear is the development of what the
I pugilist calls a “tin ear." Repeated pounding causes
blood »o pour into the tissue* of the ear and sur-
rounding areas Such swellings at first are bluish-
red. and feel like dough.
Tn the worst ce.sea. surgeons open the tissue
and remove the blood riot to prevent permanent
thickening and swelling. Th*v also anplv special
bandages to m'id the ear and hold It in shape
while It 1* healing
After Dinner
NONCHALANT
A voung man and woman entered a Pullman
sleeper and were Immediately put down by other
passenger? a? a bridal couple But the young pair
were so self-possessed that the others began to
doubt If their surmise was right after all.
As the tram moved out of the station however
the young man rose to remove his overcoat and
a shower of confetti fell onto the floor
The other occupants of the car smiled broadly
but the young man was equal to the occasion.
Turning to hts partner he remarked loudly
•Tve taken the bridegroom’s overcoat by mistake!"
IN DOUBT
He was just off on a business trip around the
world and she was seeing him off
Just before the boat left the dock *he ciung
to him and Implored
"My dearest win you be true to me when you
are far away? Promise that you will write to me
from every place you visit."
As he klf?ed her he asked suspiciously:
"Is It love that prompts you to sav this or are
you merely collecting foreign stamps?"
CAREFUL
’Til take this room with the piano. How much
Is It?"
“Would you mind playing something? I always
make my prices afterward."
A KING'S DUTY
III the old days a km* wa? something more than
the ruler of a country He was supposed also to stand
tn the position of friend and protector for the down-
trodden masses who. but for him. would be completely
at the mercy of the power!ul nobles
Tt is hard to rc^cl about King Edward's recent
tour ol the ‘black areas ' in Wales without sensing that
the victims of England's industrial shakcup still have
that old feeling teward their king.
Edward visited many poverty-stricken village*
talked with hundreds of men who have not worked
for many years listened to complaints and entered
humble homes: and through the accounts of his
visit one can see that old feeling rising—the feeling
that here was a man who was above clas? and party
a man who could be the common mans defender
against industrial injustice
As long as the average Briton looks or his sovereign
In that light the kingship Is not a fifth wheel but
an essential part of British democracy.
HAPPY OMEN
One verv excellent sign of the tlmea is the fact
that contributions to organized charities have gone
substantially upward this fall.
In seventy-eight cities that have been collecting
Community Chest subscriptions of late more than
$38 QC0.000 has been paid In. In most of these cities
final figures are not yet available; where such figures
are at hand they shew that most cities have passed
their objectives and have collected more money than
they requested.

'sentiment Mixed With Common
Sense Is Still the Best Formula
foe Keeping a Marriage Sweet
DEAR MISS CHATFIELD
Perhaps I am too sentimental
nit when I get married I want my
husband to p^pert me and treat
me as a pal: I want us to plan
things together a life that’s a
mixture of love and laughner
where we ran lace any trouble that
omea up with heads high and
hands clasped. It seems that men
is well as women would want a
life like that or do men prefer to
marry petted spoiled women who
ask more than they give’ Can you
clear up this point for me and tell
me If I am expecting too much?
IDEALIST I
ANSWER
No. young lady you are not rx-
oecting too much Men as well as
v omen want the same ort of mar-
ried life you have described and
"very one of them that asks a girl
to be his wife sees In her h’s dr am
''f love his ideal of wcminhood
’he perfect mother for his children
nnd the good companion for his
home. But It Is easy to sit and
dream of ideal marr ed life and
*'*rd to make the dream come true
frirls have a way of play-acting
beforp marriage and then bein'*
natural after marriage Men have a
wav of putting the best foot fore-

Behind the
Scenes in
Washington
By RODNEY DITCHER
The Brownsville Hr raid Washington
Correspondent
WASHINGTON. — Although the
New Dealers who want to curb the
U. B. Supreme Court are busier
than ever trying to figure out Just
how there ia no more agreemril
aa to the best method than there
was last year or the year before.
Each of the several suggestions
considered has Its drawbacks. Pro-
ponents of one or another who
think they have the best solution
are promptly challenged by others
who profess to see Its flaws.
Proposals for a constitutional
amendment are subject to attach
on several grounds —even among
those who favor reform. An amend-
ment would be likely to take
years for ratification by the states
and could be defeated by 13 stares
containing less than 3 per cent of
the popu.atlon assuming It could
be passed by two-thirds majorities
In congresa
Liberal are so divided as to how
auch amendment should be phrased
that it might be very difficult to
frame one which would be accept-
ab e to 36 states.
• • •
Fear Future Tyranny
Many liberals aren't sure an
amendment could be fixed up
which would permit progressive
social - economic legislation free
from supreme court Interference
without reducing the oourt’s value
a* a future check on legislative or
executive interference with hu-
man liberties.
One answer sometimes made to
tliat objection lx that the German
Supreme Court was once relied on
for such protection but that Hlt-
>r had no trouble upsetting Its
power.
Proposals that congress pass cer-
tain acts earmarked as not re-
view able by tie courts are regslfc
ert by some authorities as accept-
abe from a constitution 1 stand-
point. but they would be more pop-
ular If congress having set such I
a precedent could be depended on
o earmark nearly all legislation In
that manner and thus destroy ths
court
Requirement that court decisions
ho ding acts o! congress unconsti-
tutional should be by a vote of at
lea«t 6 to 3 or even 7 to 3 la an-
other proposal. But many lawyers
point out that constitutional esses
arise only in .awsuits brought to
the supreme court for final de-
cision; that somebody must de-
cide these suits if the Judicial sys-
