RESTFUL SLEEP
for FRETFUL,
FEVERISH CHILD
— With Castoria’s regulation
When your child tosses and cries
out in his sleep, it means he is not
comfortable. Very often the trouble
is that poisonous waste matter is not
being carried off as it should be.
Bowels need help—mild, gentle help
—but effective. Just the kind Cas-
toria gives. Castoria is a pure vege-
table preparation mad# specially for
children’s ailments. It contains no
harsh, harmful drugs, no narcotics.
Don’t let your child’s rest—and your
own—be interrupted. A prompt dose
of Castoria will urge stubborn little
bowels to act. Then relaxed comfort
and restful sleep! Genuine Castoria
always has the name:
CASTORIA

Women Like to Fish
Day by day, in every way, women
are liking to fish better and better.
One reason is, say authorities, that
they may now wear knickers or
short skirts and leggings without
fear of what Mrs. Grundy will say.
Another element is that fishermen
now frequently use artificial bait and
woman’s delicate sensibilities no
longer need be shocked by handling
slimy worms, or slippery minnows
to bait their hooks.

News Review of Current
Events the World Over
Washington Bicentennial Opened by President Hoover
Stimson’s Stern Warning to Japan—Chinese
Pushed Back in Terrific Battle.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
President
Hoover
fpVERY city, town and hamlet in the
L' United States and most of the cap-
itals of the world paid tribute to the
:baracter and achievements of George
Washington on Mon-
day. the two hun-
dredth anniversary of
his birth. The cele-
brations. fostered by
Congressman Sol
Bloom’s commission,
will continue in this
country through most
of the year in one
form or another. Of-
ficially. the bicenten
nial doings were
opened in Washing-
ton when President
Hoover delivered an
address before a joint session of con-
gress which was attended by all high
officials of the government, the mem-
bers of the Supreme court and the dip-
lomatic corps.
Standing before the brilliant gather-
ing, Mr. Hoover called cn the Ameri-
can people to rededicate themselves to
those principles befitting a free peo-
ple of which Washington was a living
exponent. “We have need again,” he
said, "to bring forth the picture of the
gloried and the valor of Lexington and
Concord and Bunker Hill, the suffering
and fortitude of Valley Forge, the vic-
tory of Yorktown. We have need to
revive the meaning and the sneer mor-
al courage of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, the struggles of the conti-
nental congress, the forming of the
Constitution.”
No part of these great events, the
President reminded those who packed
the galleries, “can be separated from
the name and the dominant leadership
of George Washington.”
There were many other ceremonies
in and near Washington. The Presi-
dent laid a wreath on Washington’s
tomb at Mount Vernon; the Richmond
Light Infantry Blues and the Rich-
mond Grays marched in a colorful pa-
rade through Alexandria; the National
Education association in convention
were addressed by Mr. Hoover; and
in the evening there was a grand co-
lonial ball in Washington and a “birth-
night ball” at Gadsby’s tavern in Alex-
andria duplicating as far as possible
the last hirthriight ball Washington
attended there, in 1798.
' I 'HROUGH the medium of a letter
-*■ to Senator Borah, Secretary of
State Stimson served notice on Japan
and the world at large that the United
States still stands by the open door
policy enunciated by John Hay in 1899.
recognized by the Washington confer-
ence of 1921-22 and implicit in the
nine-power treaty and other agree-
ments concerning the Pacific. These
pacts he declared to be interdepend-
ent, and the maintenance of the in-
tegrity of China necessary for the wel-
fare not only of China but of the whole
world. In effect Mr. Stimson’s state
ment is a threat by the administration
that the United States will abrogate
the Washington treaty limiting the
capital ship strength of the naval pow-
ers and restricting American defenses
in the western Pacific if Japan per-
sists in disregarding the nine-power
treaty guaranteeing the territorial in-
tegrity of China. He said if the Pa-
cific treaties had been faithfully ob-
served such a situation as now exists
could not have arisefi.
m
T. V. Soong
/^OACHED by skilful German sol-
diers. the Chinese troops in. the
Shanghai battle area successfully with-
stood a terrific attack by the Japanese
that lasted three days
and cost uncounted
lives. The invaders
shelled the positions
held by the Chinese
along the line to tlie
Woosung forts almost
continuously and re-
peated attempts to ad-
vance the infantry
were made, but at
the close of the oper-
ations the Chinese,
badly battered, were
still there. Two days
later the Japanese airmen made a fu-
rious attack on Kiangwan, showering
down huge bombs on the defenders;
and then the troops again attempted
to rush the Chinese positions, wit hunt
any success. Reinforcements were
called for and the Tokyo government,
which had just won a victory in the
elections, decided to send- two mote
army divisions, and a full general to
supersede Lieut. Gen. Kcnkiehi Uyedu
The Chinese government, encour-
aged and determined to resist to the
last, was hurrying more troops to
shanghai and the energetic T. V".
Soong was making marked progress
in his great task of raising money to
keep up ttie fight. Large contribu-
lions -were received not only from all
parts of China hut from Chinese in
tiany other lands.
As the week r.eured the close
u» Japanese, enraged by the resist-
'd* they had met. launched a new
' m-ive That was reported to lie (Iriv
Chinese hack in disorder. This
was the bloodiest battle so far in the
Shanghai conflict. Japanese planes
dropped cans of gasoline on Kiangwan
and Miaohungchen. bombs ignited the
explosive and conflagrations resulted.
r A PAN’S reply to ihe latest admoni-
•J tion of the League of Nations coun-
cil was received in Geneva and was
found to be a stiffly worded and re-
sentful retort. The Japanese govern-
ment. it said, could not understand
why the appeal of the twelve powers
was made to Japan, instead of to
China, the real aggressor. The league
pact, it added, does not exclude self-
defense. nor does it leave China free
to attack everybody in sight. Tokyo
told the league that its observations
are "obscure" and “superfluous.” for
Japan entertains no territorial or po-
litical ambitions in China. Japan, said
the note, cannot consider China as an
“organized people” in the sense used
by the league covenant, and declares
it is impossible to treat the chaos in
Chinn as if it were order. Altogether,
the reply from Tokyo was little less
than a slap in the face for the league
council.
/'"Y NE seeming result of the war in
the Orient was the approval by
the senate naval affairs committee of
the Hale bill authorizing the expendi-
ture of $775,000,000 for the building of
our navy up to tonnage parity with
Great Britain and to the treaty ratio
with Japan. Reversing its attitude of
several weeks ago, the committee voted
unanimously to report the measure tc
the senate with a recommendation
that it be passed at once. A similar
bill is still stuck in the house naval
affairs committee.
Henry Pu-Yi
D EFORE getting too far away from
*-* China, the latest developments in
Manchuria must be recorded. With
the assistance of friendly Chinese, in-
cluding Generai Ma,
who formerly fought
them, the Japanese
have carried out their
plan to make Man-
churia a state inde-
pendent of China.
They created a new
state of Ankuo—which
means “land of peace”
—and it was an-
nounced that it would
be ruled by Henry I’u-
Yi, the young man
who for a time was
the “boy emperor” of China. Chang-
chun was selected as the capital of
Ankuo and public buildings there were
being prepared for Henry’s installa-
tion which was set for March 1. It
was believed he would be declared
president or dictator for life. Of
course the government of Ankuo will
be quite subservient to Japan.
This new state will not he permit-
ted to exist unchallenged, however. Al-
ready rebellious forces have been col-
lected and are reported to be mov-
ing against Hsi Hsia, governor of
Kirin province, and one of the lead-
ers who organized Ankuo. Their at-
tack was directed primarily at Imiem-
po, 90 miles from Harbin-.
r'VELEGATES to the disarmament
conference in Geneva will just
talk until the Easter recess, which will
begin March 19 and last probably two
weeks. Then the subcommissions will
get busy with all the proposals for
armament reduction 'that have been
made by the various nations. Mean-
while the delegates can mull over
these thirty-five plan? and the draft
convention offered by the preparatory
commission. Such was the decision of
the' steering committee, which appar-
ently thought the delay would give
tilings a chance to turn for the better.
Ambassador Hugh Gibson and his col-
leagues of the American delegation
didn’t like this arrangement ai all and
said so, but they were overruled for
France. Germany and Great Britain
were in no hurry to bring matters to a
decision.
ORANGE'S new premier is Andre
I1 Tardieu, and his ministry and pol-
icies have been promptly given a vote
of confidence by parliament. Tardieu
will make no change in the French
disarmament and reparations policies,
he told the deputies. The government,
he said, will participate in negotiations
with a view to adjusting the repara-
tions schedule, but it will not permit
repudiation of existing agreements.
In the field of disarmament the new
ministry agrees with the last that se-
curity is a prerequisite to reduction
of arms.
One change made by Tardieu. how-
ever. was the subject of hoi debate.
He has united the army, navy and avia-
tion ministries into a single ministry
of defense, the portfolio being given
to Francois I’ietri. The premier de-
fended the plan warmly, pointing out
that the unified ministry gave France
a tremendous advantage over other
countries in discussing any scheme of
disarmament and would enable the na-
tion to make drastic cuts, both
budgetary and direct, in certain
branches of armament without sacri-
ficing defensive strength.
Gov. Murray
OY. WILLIAM H. MURRAY of
Oklahoma is now a full-fledged
candidate ^for the Democratic Presi-
dential nomination. Calling the news-
paper men to the ex-
ecutive mansion in
Oklahoma- City, “Al-
falfa Bill” handed out
a statement to that
effect. In it he de-
clared he would “make
no trades, form no
combination nor com-
promise on any prin-
ciple” for delegates or
for the nomination.
“If successful mV
hands will he free of
baneful influences,”
he said. "I feel reasonably certain
of the election if nominated.”
Thereupon this spectacular gentle-
man departed fior Indiana where he
made a number of addresses calculat-
ed to further his ambition.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Mon-
tana wrote to Governor Murray ask-
ing his opinion of the- senator’s hill
to establish a bimetallic currency, and
the governor’s reply shows he thinks
as did William Jennings Bryan.
“There can he no dispute about
both gold and silver representing
value, even without reference to
value as money,” he wrote. “Since a
sound currency should represent a
limited proportion of value, plus a re-
serve of actual money, and since there
is not sufficient gold to do this with-
out a diminution of the money in
circulation, it would seem essential
that silver should he added, as was
intended by the Constitution.
“The government should coin a suf-
ficient amount of money, gold and sil-
ver. to tiike care of normal business,
and, in addition, a sufficient per cent
to become the basis for ‘token’ inirney,
through bank currency. The world
will suffer until that is done.”
OI’EAKER GARNER’S plan for an
economy committee to survey the
possibilities of a reorganization of
the government and reduction of fed-
eral expenditures was accepted by the
house, the resolution being adopted
by a surprisingly large bipartisan
majority. The committee, which is to
report hy April 15, was named and be-
gan its work by asking President
Hoover for his detailed views on re-
organization and economies.
Drafting of the revenue bill increas-
ing taxes to meet the deficit was start-
ed by the house ways and means com-
mittee. The measure will include a
manufactures sales tax that is expect-
ed to bring in $600,000,009. Secretary
of the Treasury Mills told the com-
mittee that he didn't wholly approve
of this feature but that the treasury
would prepare a workable plan for
assessment and collection of such an
Impost/ It is proposed to apply the
tax at the point of final processing

saler The same tax is to he levied
on imported articles in addition to
the tariff.
Representative Beck of Pennsyl-
vania made an eloquent appeal to
the house to refuse the appropriation
of $11,669,509 asked by the appropria-
tion committee for the enforcement
of prohibition during the fiscal year
1933. The house applauded him gen-
erously arid then voted to sustain the
appropriation.

land and he is almost certain to he
the next president of the Free Stale.

yet to elect, lie and
his labor allies have

The Irish Labor

as Johnson, will go along with De Va-
lera in his program of economic re-
construction, hut it stands by the
treaty with England, and if De Valera
trios to abrogate this, the Laborites
will turn his party out of office. They
can do this, holding the balance of
power. In Dublin it is believed the
life of the new government will be

of Germany. The nomination of Adolf
Hitler, leader of the Fascists or Na-
tional Socialists, was formally made,
as was that of Theodore Duesterberg,
head of the steel helmet organization,
he being the Nationalist candidate.
The Communist nominee is Ernst
Tliaolmann. The entry of Duesterberg
and Hitler indicated that their attempt
to unite on a candidate to run against
Von Hindenburg had broken down.
Hitler’s headquarters recently had de-
nied he was seeking the presidency.

vJ York took the hull by the horns,
defied Tammany and ousted from of
fice Sheriff Thomas D. Farley of Ne>v

not satisfied with Farley’s explanation

The Poet’s Lot
John Masefield, the poet laureate,
said to an American interviewer in
London:
“The liners nowadays all advertise
their steerage ,as ‘college cabin.’
“Our new Third Class College
Cabin,” you read, “arranged exclu-
sively for ministers, students, pro-
fessors, research workers, etc.
“These advertisements leave out
poets. Poets aren’t even up to col-
lege cabin.”
Mr. Marsh laughed and ended:
“Poets are born, not paid.”
Unusual Request
One of the strangest requests ever
made in a will is contained in that of
Miss Rosalie Bicknell Babcock, aged
seventy, of Lingfield, Surrey, Eng-
land, who died last July, leaving £47.-
793. Miss Babcock directed her ex-
ecutors to have the oil painting of
her late father burned before her fu-
neral and that no one should be al-
lowed to copy it.

“I hear she has left her husband.
What was the trouble?”

live with a man who couldn’t think
up as many ways of making money
as she could of spending it.”—Cin-
