Disarmament Proposal
Before Dutch Chamber
—
THE HAGUE, April 6.—A project
for disarmament to be operative as
from January 1, 1926, has been intro
p duced in the Dutch chamber by the So
cial Democratic party.
Its main provisions are to cut down
the standing army from 327,000 men
in the active force and organized re
serves to a “security force of 25,000
and to reduce the navy to about a doz
en guardsliips and as many seaplanes.
The annual cost is computed at some
17.000,000 florins, compared with 100,
000,000 florins allocated for defense
purposes in the 1923 budget.
The scheme is based on the Danish
disarmament plan, which is closely
followed as far as the navy is concern
ed, while allowance is made for a
greater land force owing to Holland’s
longer land frontiers.
The proposal is accompanied by a
lengthy memorial declaring that ow
ing to modern war methods, Holland
like other small states, is confronted
with the impossibility of defending her
territory adequately against aggres
sion by powerful foreign nations, or
maintaining neutrality by force of
arms alone. Either contingency may
have to be faced, the promoters say,
owing to the prevalence of internat
ional hatred the desire for revenge
on the part of the vanquished and the
fear of revenge on the part of the vic
tors in the world war.

After 36 Years’ Absence '
MANILA, April G— Captain John
Bradshaw of the steaihship Belgen
and, which is carrying some 500 ex
cursionists around the world, recalled
iis previous visit to the Philippines
56 years ago, when he tied up his big
ship here recently to what he said was
me of the finest piers in the world,
“Thirty-six years ago,” said Captain
Bradshaw, “I put into Iloilo with a
shipload of sick men, and we buried
Lhem all but three. All but three,
and one of them was myself. Fever
and ague took them off. I’ll wager
you have but little#of that nowadays,
everything looks so clean.
“You know it’s a very strange thing!
From here we are going to Batavia.
There 3S years ago the Javanese had
me all tied up to a tree ready to send
me into Kingdom Come. But I got

“The Philippines look very different
to me, very different, indeed. The
last time I was here with the old Cam
bay, a 1,000 ton ship, and now I have
a 27,000 ton ship. There’s a great dif
ference.”
Fashion Points the Way
While Doctors Talk Wisely
LONDON, April G.—The tight corset
has disappeared and will never come
back because science has declared
against it, Professor W. W. Dixon, of
Cambridge University, asserted recent
ly in a lecture under the auspices of
the People’s League of Health. Twen
ty years ago the London hospitals
were visited regularly by great num
bers of girls and women suffering
from anaemia, most of them workers
in factories and offices.
“The kind of anaemia wdiich the doc
tors of those days had to contend with
has entirely disappeared,” averred the
lecturer, “and the reason is that tight
laced corsets are no longer worn by
the young women of today who are
1 interested in keeping their health.

If I Had Only
Known
TWO WOMEN went out to buy a certain expen
sive labor-saving device for the home.
One was greatly disappointed when, a few days
later, they compared notes. She had bought the
same product that many of her friends had owned.
The other woman had secured a greatly im
proved, new product—costing less, but of much more
value.
“If I had only known there was a better one,”
the first woman said, “I would never have bought
this old one.”
“I had just read about it in an advertisement,”
explained the wise buyer.
Every day you miss good news of an improve
ment in different articles of merchandise—unless
you read our advertisements. They tell you of prac
tically every worth-while invention—of every pro
gress from the old to the new.
Read the advertisements—regularly. Know all
about the thing you are going to buy before you buy
it. It will save you disappointment, money and time.
THE BETTER A PRODUCT IS—THE SOONER
YOU WILL SEE IT ADVERTISED
