If you’re troubled with the Gout
Just spend two-bits for Saur Kraut
Then if you think you’re feeling worse
Spend two-bits for Weiner Werse
Or if your heart is all a quiver
Take home a couple pounds of Liver
Then if you still feel kind of Bum
Then we might prescribe a nice Beef Tongue
But if you’re troubled with sharp pains
Try Meadowbrook Eggs & Scrambles Brains
If this don’t make the world look brighter
Just tell your troubles to' the writer
And anything he might suggest
Is guaranteed to be the best.

NAVAL AGREEMENTS
SLEEP TRANQUILITY IN
FRENCH COMMITTEES
PARIS, May IS.—(/P)—The Wash
ington naval accords, negotiated by
Premier Briand in 1921 and signed
under premiership of M. Poincare in
1922, are still awaiting the ratifica
tion of French parliament. The Poin
care cabinet held office for two
years after the bills calling for their
ratification were introduced in French
chamber; general elections have tak
en place, the Herriot cabinet endur
ed for ten months and, with the
momentous financial problem now
confronting the new Painleve minis
try, it appears unlikely that parlia
ment will be called upon to discuss
these accords for some time to come.
Their present status is unknown be
yond the fact that they have been
before the foreign relations commit
tee of the chember since the middle
of 1922.
“Pigeon-holed” is the somewhat
undignified term used in America
which, although it does not appear
in the dictionary sanctioned by the
French academy, may best describe
the fate of the accords.
The following is a short history of
the accords, as far as France is con
cerned, since M. Albert Sarraut, who
replaced Premier Briand at the head
of the French delegation, returned
to Paris in the spring of 1922.
The treaty concerning the “limita
tion of naval armaments” signed at
Washington Feb. 6, 1922, was turned
over to the committee on foreign
affairs in March, 1922. Deputy Guer
nier was entrusted with the task of
preparing a report on the treaty,
and making a recommendation as to
its ratification. He recommended
that “the government be authorized
to ratify, effective until Dec. 31, 1936,
the treaty signed at Washington. be
tween the United States of America,
the British empire, France, Italy
and Japan limiting naval arma
ments.”
A bill bearing the signature of
President Alexandre Millerand and
presented by Premier Poincare, Fi
nance Minister De Lasteryrie, Naval
Minister Raiberti, War Minister Mag
inot and Minister of Public Works
Le Trocquer, calling for the ratifi
cation of the treaty, was then sub
mitted to parliament. It was again
referred to the committee on foreign
relations. Since then it has not beeu
mentioned again in public discussion,
and nothing has been heard of it in
committee.
The treaty concerning “possesions
and insular dominions in the Far
East,” signed Dec. 13, 1921, has had
a career similar to the above. Depu
ty Raynaldy, who has since been
minister of commerce in teh Herirot
cabinet, made a report to the com
mittee recommending its ratification.
This was Jan 22, 1923.
A bill was subsequently introduc
ed by the Poincare government call
ing for prompt ratification. It was
referred to the committee on foreign
relations, and it is still in the pos
session of the committee.
The treaty relative to “the protec
tion of neutrals in times of war
and the use of asphyxiating gas,”
also appears to have been chloroform
ed since a bill calling for its ratifi
cation was introduced in the cham
ber by the Poincare government in
May, 1923, and then referred to the
committee.
During the tenure of office of Min
ister of Marine Dumesnil, in the Her
riot cabinet, inquiries at the minis
try concerning the naval accords al
ways elicited evasive answers.
Emile Borel, the new minister of
marine in the Painleve cabinet, has
not, up to the present time, been ap
proached concerning his policy on
the ratification of the Washington
treaties.
M. P.'s TURN TO TEA
LONDON, May 18.—(/P)—Tea drink
ing among members of the House of
Commons is on the increase. During
1924 ’more than 100,000 teas were
served to the parliamentarians, com
pared with 74,059 in 1923. Lunch
eons and diners also increased, and
a profit of |525 was made on the
teas and meals served in 12 months.

OXFORD TRADESMEN
DEPLORE NEW ERA OF
SALES ON CASH BASIS
OXFORD, EnM May 18.—(^—Ox
ford tradesmen are ravely concern
ed over the increasing tendency of
undergraduates to pay cash for their
purchases. The new fashion saves
the postage on the customary 36
monthly duns, but it means the loss
of the extravagant custom of the
young Verdant Greens of pre-war
days, who ordered silk dressing
gowns by the half dozen in the se
rene belief that bills due three years
hence are really no proper bills at
all.
Tradesmen are discovering that the
man who buys for cash buys careful
ly and stints the more exotic cravings
of his fancy. Worse still, they are
discovering that he prefers to do his
buying in London, where a shopping
excursion is a very desirable excuse
for a re3tful afternoon in one of the
music halls. London competition is
far from pleasing, for it was long
ago settled that Oxford prices shouid
be set well above those of the me
tropolis during term time, to carry
over the lean vacation when streets
are deserted and trademen recline
against their sturdy oak counters in
sad and wistful boredom.
The increase in cash purchases is
indicative of a shifting of social stan
dards. Fewer undergraduates are now
the sons of choleric and unbusiness
like old country gentlemen with gout
and ancient lineage; more and more
are coming up to the university from
the very recently acquired country
seats of moneyed men of business
who are better pudges of accounts
than of horses and Maderii. In
tne university as elsewhere the ?a»y
going c edit system based on the
unimpeachable honesty, solvency ar>i
rc3p< etab.l'.iy of the settle i cono
iry lamilies is giving \»iy to the
ru.e of ready cash.
An Oklahoma appellate court held
that seeing the outline of a bottle
under a citizen’s coat is not grounds
for arrest without a warrant. Al
though in the case at issue the bottle
did contain whisky, the defendant
Charles Keith, was acquitted because
of the illegal search.
The Wisconsin senate voted to sub
mit a referendum to the voters on
the question of 2.75 per cent beer,
with a view to asking Congress to
modify the Volstead Act.
While police handled captured
bootleg liquor at Detroit the stuff
exploded, starting a fire in which two
negroes perished and 11 others were
injured.
