WOULD THE PEOPLE VOTE WAR ON JAPAN?
Resolutions continue to he passed, in various sections
of the United States, protesting the sale of war materials,
such as oil and scrap metal, to Japan.
There can be little doubt but that the people of the
United States condemn Japanese aggresion in China and
abhor the wholesale murder of Chinese civilians. That ec-
onomic pressure upon Japan might be effective as assist-
ance to the Chinese in their battle is admitted but the
warning is heard that it might also lead to war with Ja-
pan.
This is an instance, so far as we can judge, where the
government of the United States is pursuing a policy, less
likely to provoke war than the policy directed by popular
emotion. We are frank to admit that we do not understand
exactly the situation in the Far East, where the United
States, Great Britain and France permit the Japanese to
disregard treaties with impunity.
This does not mean that we condemn the present pol-
icy of the United States. It may be based on factors that
are well known to officials, which justify the attitude of
the democracies. Naturally, it is not possible for the se-
crets of international diplomacy to be scattered through-
out a nation. There may be reasons for the present inde-
cisive attitude that are more weighty than our people sus-
pect.
Certainly, so far as the present attitude of the Unit-
ed States government is concerned, there is less chance of
a war with Japan, over the ar Eastern situation, than
there would be if the matter was submitted to a vote of
the people, with various factions inflaming the public
mind and trying to whip up a war sentiment.
THE SQUALUS: SORROW AND JOY
The sudden death of twenty-gix brave sailors of the
United States Navy, on board the Submarine Squalus last
week, emphasizes anew the perils connected with sub-
marine service.
The death of these men shocked the people of the
United States. Otherwise, the rescue of the thirty-three
survivors would have caused general rejoicing over their
escape from a watery grave,
From the minute that the Squalus went down, in its
last dive, to rest on the bottom of the sea, 240 feet below
the surface, until those left alive in her hull were brought
to the rescue ships, the Navy acted with promptness, dis-
patch and courage.
The stricken ship was located and relief work under-
way in a few hours. Improvements in rescue work, devel-
oped in recent years, were utilized. Four times a huge steel
rescue chamber was attached to the hull of the Squalus
and each time it rose successfully to deliver a precious
cargo of men snatched from death below.
The Squalus was one of the Navy's newest sub-
marines and equipped, supposedly, with devices intended
to make impossible just such an accident. What caused
the large intake valve to remain open as the ship nosed
whder water is a mystery that may not be cleared up by
investigation. Other safety precautions apparently failed.
The fact that so many of the crew escaped death is
due to discipline and prompt action that confined the
water to one end of the submarine and to the effective
rescue methods perfected after sad experiences in former
years.
GREETING THE KING AND QUEEN
Some Americans are worried about the “best way” to
greet the King and Queen of Great Britain.
Others, in the national capital, are concerned because
they will not have an opportunity to gaze into the royal
eves at the reception that will be tendered the visitors
from the realm beyond the sea.
Well, if any reader of The Centre Democrat gets a
chance to appear before royalty we advise them to treat
the King and Queen just like they would treat the Presi-
dent of the United States, or his wife. In this country
such a procedure would seem to exhibit the respect that
comes from accepting the visitors as friends.
If the appearance should happen to be staged in Great
Britain then democratic Americans should not hesitate to
conform to the customs that are followed by sensible
British citizens.
THE “MOST CRIPPLING” DISEASE
What is the “most prevalent and most crippling dis-
ease?”
The answer, according to Dr. Reginald Burbank,
president of the American Society for the study of Arth-
ritis, is arthritis, which now threatens the nation with
“more than 3,500,000 potential cripples.”
Dr. Burbank urges a concerted effort to establish hos-
pitals and clinics for those who suffer from the disease,
saying that if adequate attention is paid to premonitory
symptoms of rheumatoid involvement, disability would be
avoided in a great majority of cases. He finds most hos-
pitals loathe to admit the chronic arthritics unless suffi-
ciently affluent to pay for treatment and calls attention
to the fact that while $100,000,000 is spent annually by
public and governmental agencies for tuberculosis, less

Of course, 1 take it that you mean

you that you should be allowed to do |
so without your wife getting Into

are accusing him wrongfully and she
knows that to be so, she naturally
feels that she should put you right
about it, and, in that case you should
welcome the interruption. And, too

EMBALMING IN EGYPT.
The art of embalming reached its
highest perfection in ancient Egypt
The people believed that the same
body that was committed to the
tomb would at the final judgment
be re-entered by the spirit and live
forever. This belief gave rise to the
desire to preserve the mortal body
intact until the resurrection
There were many different meth
ods of embalming. The rich em-
ployed only the most famous and
skillful opematips. The materials
which were used in the process were
very expensive. It required a long
time to mummify a body s0 that it
was preserved intact for thousands
of years
The medical men of Egypt were
the servants who taught the various
qualities and uses of the fine spices
resins, pitches and drugs that were
employed in the process. The phy-
sicians were also priests, and among
their many accomplishments was
the art of embalming. which they
alone understood
Medicine was highly specialized

The bodies of the rich were incised

The relatives of the deceased pre-
tended to be very much shocked at
the desecration of the corpse of the
dear departed, and chased away the

him as an evidence of their indig- |

spices and various preservatives
The brain was drawn out through
the nostrils and the corpse was soak-
ed for seventy days In caustic soda
The body was then washed and
bandaged in fine strips of linen
smeared with resins The faces
were painted or gilded, after which
the process was compiete
However, there were various
ods in use for embalming at
ferent periods, but the plous wish
