Dawes Making a Fine Start
in London—Progress of
Disarmament Plans.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
ENERAL DAWES, our ambassa-
dor to Great Britain, Is hitting {it
off niighty well in London so far, con-
[ducting himself and the affairs of his
igh office with the dignity and good
sense that would be expected of him,
[Wednesday the ambassador and Mrs.
Dawes attended their first court in
{Buckingham palace, and the former
settled the “knee breeches” question
by appearing In full dress evening at-
jtire with long trousers, abandoning the
precedent set by his Immediate pre
decessors and reverting to what Is
truly the correct court dress for
[American diplomats. Mrs. Arthur Hen-
derson, wife of the new secretary for
foreign affairs, presented Mrs Dawes
to Nueen Mary, who was escorted by
the prince of Wales because of the 1ll-
mess of King The ambassa-
dor's wife in turn presented a number
of American women to her majesty.
In another matter that may seem
trivial Ambassador Dawes has
what practically all Americans will
admit Is the correct thing. He has
mnnounced that during his incumbency
fthe American embassy In London will
dry, this being the rule in his own
ome since long before prohibition, al-
though he does not claim to be a tee
RRotaler. In many of the American
missions abroad liquor is still served,
Dut the State department does not per
git ite cost to be Included In expense
bills. Otherwise the department does
not interfere In the matter,
! General Dawes was the guest of the
British Empire Service league st a
banquet; being entertained as a repre
pentative of America’s soldiers and of
the American Legion. He sald he
found in the league's constitution,
Mnamed as one of the fundamental ob-
Jects for its formation, a statement
of purpose which 1 trust Is uppermost
today In the hearts and consciences of
the peoples of the world. It is to fur
ther the ideal of comradeship as op
posed to force as the arbiter between
nations. Let me say that that phrase
expresses my chief Instruction re
ceived from the President of the Unit-
ed States as I left for London to take
up duties as American ambassador and
enter Into official relations with two
great English-speaking nations. That
phrase expresses the Intent of the
Kellogg treaty.”

with Ambassador Dawes In London,
on order of the State department, and
then both of them called on Prime
George,
the talks was the progress of disarm
ament negotiations, the next move In
which must come from Europe. Mr.
MacDonald was busy all week pre
paring the speech from the throne
which, it was expected, would an-
nounce the place and time for the
proposed meeting of the powers for
consideration of the disarmament
question. In Washington it was be
lieved the naval reduction conference
would be held In London in the fall
and that the United States, Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan
would participate. The Itallans, it is
reported, are ready to enter the par
ley, and this fact will force France
to come In, although the French have
been clinging to the idea that all dis
armament doings should be managed

The codling moth Is at present the
most serious Insect pest with which
the apple and pear growers of the Pa-
cific Northwest have to contend.
Losses from the “worms” in some
years average as high as 20 per cent
of the total crop, or even as high as
5% per cent in individual By
the use of proper methods, however,
many growers keep thelr losses well
below 5 per cent,
Plan to Control.
In order to control the codling moth
it is to understand its sea-
sonnl under local conditions.
There are two generations of the
codling moth in the Pacifie
Northwest, and various stages in
these overlap, for a short
interval worms sre hatching and at-
acking the fruit from the latter part
of May to October. Apple growers
must rely mainly on spraying with

Most nervous disorders come from

| There are in thousands of men and
women ceaseless struggles between
the thing they do and the thing they

jcuse it. Excuses don’t work. Con-

Amber can be made to burn when

is a compound of carbon, hydrogen
