ER is Ri Lint 1—Dr. Walter B. Coffey strating ags cancer NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Naval Parley Getting Down to Business—Spain’s Dictator Resigns. By EDWARD W. PICKARD Morse slowly and not very surely i toward their goal, the delegates to the five power naval conference in London spent another week mainly in private conversations designed to de- velop national programs, radio addresses and plenary session. The correspon dents made such a fuss about being exciunded that room was provided for a number of them at the and the others “listened in” by microphone, At the meeting on Thursday the dele- gates told something about the prog- ress they had made toward an agree ment on preliminaries. Prime Min. ister MaeDonald had had talks with the French, Italian and Japanese, and Dino Grandi of Italy had been pressed to agree that Mussolini's proposal for the immediate establishment of ratios should be examined later. Explana. tion was given by Mr. of the Franco-American compromise between global tonnage and category theories of measurement of fleet strengths which was alluded to in these col. umns last week. The agreement is based on a maximum of transfer ton- nage yearly from one category to an- other, and it was understood that a percentage of one-sixth of the total of any category might be accepted as the amount of tonnage possible to transfer. The matter was referred to a steering committee on motion of Mr. Stimson. Mr. MacDonald opened the session by stating that its main purpose was to consider the agenda. He Explained that there had been wide exchang of opinions and declared “grat {fying progress” had been made, The questions proposed by the French were: First, the system of global tonnage and the French trans- actional proposal ; second, what classi. fications are to be adopted ; and, third, the transfer of tonnage and the condi tions to be applied to such a transfer under the British system of limitation by categories, Italy proposed that the determina- tion of ratios should be the first step and that the determination of levels of total tonnages of the various na. tions should then follow, After adjournment Mr. MacDonald, who is chairman, told the correspond ents: “I think we are now within measurable distance of solving the problem which up to now has not been solvable. Mind, I do not say that we are agreed as yet, but [I think the steering committee will report agree ment, The differences between os are so small that were you to put a candle to them, you could see through the wall of controversy.” MacDonald em- phasized, however, that Great Britain could not accept the global tonnage theory as now presented, saying: “There would be continued competi tion within categories.” some one session Gibson N A radio address to British and American hearers Mr. Stimson in. diented that the American delegation had decided that the five-year exten. sion of the present battleship building holiday would be the principal result of the conference. It seemed as If he had abandoned the program for cruiser reduction which was desired by President Hoover. The objectives of the United States, as outlined by Mr. Stimson, were summarized thus: 1. Parity between the British and American navies in “power and effi. ciency.” 2. A reduction of the battleship building programs of all naval powers by postponing the five-year replace. ment of present capital ships, provided for by the Washington treaty. 8. Ending the rivalry in cruiser and destroyer building by limitation of the number and tonnage of these classes of surface eraft, 4. Abolition of submarines, or, In any event, the reduction of their num- ber, and prohibition of their ruthless use against merchant ships, Reassuring his countrymen who oH * ik Tony - New aemaons York Communists Mrs. Herbert Hoover might be alarmed by stories of crises ; and of the danger that the interests of the United States were being sacri ficed, the secretary of state concluded : “The members of the American dele gation here in one capacity or an- other went through the great war. Most of us have had to study national defense in the course of our official duties. We are united in believing that our national defense, our national interests, and our prospects will con- tinue ; and prosperity can best be served by naval limitation and good Ww il. peace its | consequent “In the belief that the same a ment, which holds out such for us holds equal prospects for the | other natior at our task with support of the people gree prospects | & hery rance of We go the assy the of these five great nations.” the | France among the attached to various delegations is that and Italy must have warships large enough to store wine casks for the | crews, and the extra displacement and | greater tonnage required for this pur. hing to be considered, es. experts pose is some! pecially in regard to the marines and the torpedo boats, There were many social entertain. ments for the delegates the week, and these were never without | their diplomatic import Some of | the Americans spent the week-end at Warren house, Stanmore, the handsome | country place leased by Mr. Stimson. | It was announced that ali the dele gates would meet the duke and duchess | of York at a banquet and reception | on February 19, 0 be given by the | marquis and marchioness of London derry.

DE RIVERA, for six years premier ind dictator of Spain, resigned last week under vir tual compulsion, and the country at once went into spasms that, It was thought, might ultimately result in the abolition of the monarchy. The dic. tator had put up to the chief officers of the army and navy the question of his resignation and their decision being against him, he stepped down. King Alfonso gave the job of premier to Gen, Damaso Berenguer, chief of his military household and inveterate enemy of de Rivera, and two days later Berenguer announced his cabinet, in which he took the portfolio of min. ister of war as well as premier. Even before he had formed the new government the forces In opposition to Berenguer were gathering In Mad. rid. De Rivera, evidently believing a dictator might be down without be ing out, took the leadership of the Patriotic Union against his successor, and there were indications that the old charges against Berenguer in con. pection with the Moroccan disaster of eight years ago would be revived, There were riotous demonstrations by students and republicans which were suppressed by the troops. It was made plain that General Berenguer would rule with an iron band until the gov- ernment is firmly established. One of bis first acts was the establishment of strict censorship. He announced that parliament by elections and the constitution of 1876 would be re-es. tablished. Dispatches from Madrid sald it was certain Berenguer had the support of King Alfonso and the con. servative leaders, but that the danger of a revolution was not exaggeratell. Primo de Rivera was quoted as say- ing Spain still needed a dictator and that he would “continue to serve the country and give my life if necessary.” EN.

The wreckage of thelr plane was found by Pilots Crosson and Gillam and was easily identified. At this writing searching parties are still trying to find the bodies of the unfortunate flyers. Elels gon and Borland were engaged in transporting passengers and furs from an feebound steamer, Their plane evi dently crashed when traveling at high speed and the disaster was believed to be due to a faulty altimeter on which Elelson relied when a snowstorm wiped out his visibility, J ENATOIL ROBINSON of the only regular the senate's Indi Republic nn commitiee, ANA, on lobbying wis foiled in his tion between Senator Democrat, and the German dye It was brought out before the mittee that contributions to King's campaign fund made by Her- man A.

W. Lehmann of the University of Illinois. A storage tank Is an advantage where the water supply is limited and the flow is slow, A tank for use in case of fire is not possible on every farm but where electricity Is available a motor large enough to raise water in a garden hose is valuable and may save the loss of some of the farm buildings if fire is seen In time, The cost of operating the pumps on the farm is dependent on the rate charged. At six cents per kilowatt hour the cost of operating a deep well pump for the entire farm water supply should not exceed $2 a month, Prevent Diseases by Destroying All Rubbish All dying trees, branches, and dead wood, as well as trash and litter should be removed from the archard, made into fire wood or carefully burned. Blister canker, black rot can ker, as well ag other diseases are de stroyed by such measures, Apple tree borers may also be combated effec tively by such cleanup practices, Over-wintering codling moth larvae, which are tucked away in silken co coons In cracks and crevices of the bark and in the crotches of branches and under branches, trash, and litter on the ground, are destroyed. Such material affords over-wintering quar. ters for some of our most dangerous insect pests and diseases. The fight is thus made easier for the grower the following spring and summer when he relies chiefly upon spraying practices. Rust Infested Oats Fields of oats which have become badly infested with rust will gener ally give a better crop of hay than they will of grain, Rust first appears in the summer as dark reddish-brown or rust-colored lines, chiefly on the stems and leaf sheaths, sometimes al- #0 on the leaves and chaff. These lines will be found to contain a red. dish powder, Later in the season the plants become covered with black lines, Where the infestation is severe on oats the crop may be made into hay by cutting when the kernels are In dhe milk stage, Safety First on Any Farm Is Good Slogan Precautions Outlined to Pre- vent Many Accidents A farm ls looked upon eggs a safe place to live, but In gpite of this. ac- cidents often occur.

If land Is in 8 good state of fertility, good yields of barnyard mil. let may be secured on lighter lands and for seeding, use one of the foxtail millets, preferably the Hungarian. Millets are shallow rooted, therefore the seedbed should be well prepared. Complaints are often made that mil- let is an exhaustive crop. The millets cut for green feed remove practically the same amount of nitrogen and sulphuric acid, and from one-third to a half more potash, per 100 pounds than a crop of corn for green fodder, PIOPIPIEPDRINIODIEODOEDOE agricultural Notes Considerpble ange may be done to pasture by turning the stock on too early in the spring. - * .
