Washington St. Coulter-Conner Building Re-Opening Full Of Dynamite (Continued from Page 1) certain amount of it involved in the present Anglo Japanese crisis, which revolves about Britain's decision to challenge Japan's demands and reopen the Burma Road for the passage of war-supplies to China.

There is a vast difference, however, between the position today and that of 1931, or for that matter of many later dates. A bluff which might, have been called successfully not so long ago, now is supported by a grim determination to back it up if necessary. Japan and Britain, both hard pressed in life and death wars, have reached the point where neither is willing to retreat. The stakes are too great, and the investment too colossal. So Britain appears, finally to have called for a showdown over the Japanese policy which would deprive England of the vast politico- economic influence it long has exercised in eastern Asia.

And Nippon, having thrown every resource It has into its expansionist program, and-mortgaged its future for generations, is equally set on carrying it through. That, is why the present situation is grave. War could grow out of it very easily. Considering the critical stage of Japan's program of expansion by costly force, it would be logical from my viewpoint to expect her to be prepared to light 1C necessary. This thought is em- by the handicaps under which BriUiin labors because oC her war with t.h« Axis powers in Europe.

However, while Japan may be ready to battle the British, It is equally logical'to expect. Tokyo 1o try to steer clear of such a war if it fears 'America will go to John Bull's aid. might bo expected, too, that Japan would side-stop drawing lire from Russia. Only yesterday a resumption of RiiKso-Ainerican talks in Washington revived conjecture on the possibility that far eastern developments might establish a basis for active collaboration between WashmtUon, Moscow and London. There an" many sound reanon.s why Japan should avoid war with America.

A very potent one lies in our naval might, and unlimited resources. Beyond that we are the greatest buyers of Japanese goods, and last year absorbed some -0 per cent of Nippon's total world sales. We are Japan's major source of raw materials. We provide her with more than a third of her supplies, and the great bulk of the materials essential to the conduct of war. An embargo ou these military necessities likely would cripple the Japanese fighting machine.

The greatest danger lies in the possibility that the exponents of force may precipitate some event that will result, in a great explosion. It's safe to say that. Hitler and Mussolini will be pushing Japan Into the light as hard as possible in order to further their own interests. In itself, the Burma Road reopen- ing isn't likely to cause war. What i has to be feared is a stampede.

"Japan need no longer to conduct any diplomatic negotiations with said this commenary. "The effect of stationing Japanese forces in Indo-Cbina should now be displayed." The Burma road, built after Japan had succeeded in seizing most of China's seaboard, follows a tortuous route from Chung- king, provisional capital of to Rangoon in British Burma, which has a common frontier with Inclo- China. Japan's acquisition of Indo-China bases therefore has shortened by some 35 or 400 miles the distance which her bombers would he compelled to fly in an attempt to cut the road.

Tar particles in dust can act as an irritant to produce throat cancer and caused death in experiments on animals, the surgeons Gasoline fumes act similarly, they said. Oil in tobacco smoke was another suspected cause of this type of cancer, described as ''fatal if not treated 85 to 95 per cent curable." Drs. Jackson found the disease "much more common in men than and said that the extent of tobacco oil's effects on the larynx would be better known in the next decade due to the increase in smoking among women. Now Possible To Discover Earliest Cases Of Disease. Half-Pint Hercules DETROIT, Oct.

9, A new test to detect rickets even in new born babies was described today befrre the annual meeting of the American Public Health. Association. The disease, due to too little Vitamin the sunshine vitamin, causes malformation of all the bones of the body and results in retardation of growth. Dr. Don J.

Barnes of. Harper Hospital, Detroit, reported it is possible to discover the earliest cases of the disease by measuring: the amount of phosphatase in the blood of children. It is an enzyme, or organic chemical which decomposes other substances, such as bone, by making them absorb water. A small amount of it necessary for proper body functioning but too much, causes disintegration which, may oftentimes not show up until late life. Rickets of the female pelvis, which is subjected to severe strain -te- childbirth, may not show up until the birth of the first child and then result in complications, Dr, Barnes declared.

The simple blood test which has been developed will reveal the amount of phosphatase present in the body and an abnomally high amount will indicate lack of proper food for the mother during pregnancy. Tough on phone books is Wallace Key Gough, 34 months old, of Los Angeles, who does things like this to keep in shape as successor to his father, a professional strong man.
