The League can act under two provisions of the covenant Under Article XII. it can act as mediator with the consent of the two disputing members.

Or under Articles XV. and XVI. it can investigate and report which disputant is the aggressor. If either persists in hostilities after that step members of the League, and presumably the United States as a temporary member for this purpose, are obliged to set up a financial and economic boycott of the aggressor nation. This is a sound and workable machinery for preventing an unnecessary war.

It remains to be seen if the leading states of the League will make that machinery work. But so obvious is the danger of general conflict if Japan and China go to war it seems certain that European Powers and America will take some of these drastic measures prescribed by the League covenant The alternative very probably is a major war involving China, Japan amendment.

A separate coatee designed to play many parts is apparently selling like hot cakes is the report from Paris This hardly comes as a surprise, says the fashion expert, when the charming little garment appears in terra cotta red velveteen. The jacket line is fitted to the figure and dips slightly on to the waist at the back above a short flat bajque which curves upward in front on an outlln3 of five or six rows of quilting packed closely together. It Is gripped at the waist below a narrow shawl movement of brown caracul extending from a short roll-over collar line.

A quilted belt is provided for optional wear. Both the color and material look exceptionally good on black lainage afternoon frocks, those In silk that take you on to a bridge party, and with a well schemed contrast for evening gowns. The same line has been followed fpr evening wear in flame-colored "fchouky" a heavy crepe with a flat mat surface and a surah satin weave back, but it conveys the quilted trimming into the shawl collar line. This crepe and velveteen are evidently inspiring mediums for these trimmings and lend a new aspect to designs selected from coverlets and boudoir accessories. The new bolero line is essentially for slim figures, as it fastens below the neck in front and hangs just below the underarms over a black crepe de chine dress supporting two petal-patch pockets.

The short red sleeves, featured over long black ones, indicate a special trend for double sleeves and upper-arm puffs In dresses. These hang moderately loose or they are puffed around the elbow over plain and colored puffs. They are detailed perfectly in white marocain with black to match a cowl collar swathe designed in one with a V-shaped chemisier front, which, like the cuffs, shows a dainty disc embroidery of luminous white beads. The long-sleeved bolero conveys the one color theme in black georgette for an afternoon model that is as charming as it is practical. Mid-calf length is followed showing short festoons edged with black lace slanting from the knees.

This trimming detail is repeated at a shorter depth round the bolero. It Is a combination afternoon and sleeveless dinner frock with a simple V-shaped front decollete where a diamond ornament appears to match, a hook fastening the belt buckle. These motifs are frequently repeated in red to make a splash of color at the neck and waistlines of black frocks. All round gored skirt lines are most insistent, and often break off into an uneven hem line when ends are cut on a bias slant. Little pin tucks, too, formed into sections lend a decorative quality to these gores.

Reported To Surgeons Public's Cooperation Saving Lives From Disease, American College Is Told Delay In Diagnosis Is Scored Results Of X-Ray Tests Explained. New York, October 15 (AP) Success In curing many forms of cancer, including certain ones of the stomach, was reported to the American College of Surgeons today. Messages of both hope and specific warning were delivered in an all-day symposium, all emphasizing how the public's cooperation is saving lives. New half-million-volt X-rays, surgery, radium and particularly the apparently innocent and frequently easily curable beginnings of cancer were stressed. "The fact that cancer of the stomach is curable," Donald C.

Balfour, M. Mayo Clinic, Rochester, said, "is often obscured by the prevailing attitude of physicians and of laymen toward the disease. I am presenting an analysis of the histories of 128 patients for whom partial gastrectomy for cancer of the stomach was done in the clinic between 1910 and 1920, and who lived 10 years or more following the operation. "Careful study of these patients emphasizes the great variability of the disease. This study served to emphasize that in a disease in which cure is possible not even an attempt at cure can be made in 75 per cent of the cases when the patients are first seen.

There are two major reasons for this: Nature of the disease and delay in diagnosis." The results of the first experiments with the giant 550,000 X-ray tube at the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena were reported by Seeley G. Mudd, M. and Charles C. Lau-rltsen, Ph. the latter builder of the tube.

These rays penetrate more deeply than lower voltage, being equivalent of giving to physicians a longer knife. Nathing in their nature has been found essentially different from other X-rays. During the last nine months, the report stated, 85 persons showing evidence of inoperable cancerous growths had been treated. CAN'T NEGLECT WISDOM Of Economists, Ritchie Warns In Address At Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh, October 15 (AP) Terming the American political system the product of centuries of social and economic evolution, drawing its strength from sources "too deep in the economic experience of mankind to make its downfall either desirous or possible," Governor Albert C.

Ritchie, Maryland, today said governmental activities and regulations must yield to economic wisdom, and the wisdom of economists must not be neglected. "The day for meeting a crisis by beating the political tomtoms has passed," he said. "The scientific and trained mind of the nation must be drafted and must be listened to." The Governor spoke at Founder's Dav Bxprr.isea at Carneeie Institute. He said that, for the moment, "the entire world seems not only to De sick, but to be a bedlam; one might think almost that the ancient virtues of the race hope, faith, courage, vision and common sense have suddenly vanished." "It is for politics and economics to pull together for the common good and bring order out of the existing chaos which in any event has no earthly right to exist in this era of intellectual enlightenment and material plenty," he said. LONGER LIFE Predicted By Dr.

W. H. Mayo For Folks Who Learn To Cooperate Intelligently With Physician. New York, October 15 CAP) In another 25 years man may expect to live to 70 as an average age instead of to 58 as now, Dr. William H.

Mayo, head of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, predicted today in an interview at the American College of Surgeons' meeting. "Man," he said, "tends to degenerate. He must take care of himself between the ages of 30 and B0 in order to live to be 70. "The idea prevails among the public that if one gets a good doctor when one is about 58 years of age he has a good chance of keeping his health and going on living for years. Health, however, should be studied and taken care of at all times.

"No new method of treatment exists today which can benefit the mass of humanity, but by this care of health, the individual learning to cooperate more intelligently with the physician, I believe that within the next 25 years man may come to the age of 70 as the average expectancy. I believe this can come through his own efforts and interest in his health if manifested earlier in life." Truth Tell the truth with a foot in the with the spur in the stallion's side. Lies are as bland as the honey-syrup; Truth is a thorn In the heart of Pride. Truth is cold as a sea that's frozen, Bitter and sharp as a dragon's tooth. What makes a friend like a lie wll chosen?

IO THB IDITOE Or THB INQUIRER. Dear Sir: In the "Life of James A Garfield," one learns of human nature and the trials which beset those of many years ago. It is recounted that "Jimmy" Garfield "was one of the best tow-path boys that ever clucked to a span of mules, or whistled to drive away the utter dreariness of his vocation as he wended his way along the old Miami and Erie Canal. James A. Garfield whistled softly to his mules.

They appeared to know that they were not alone in their monotonous and dreary trudge. He would pat them on their flanks, he would whistle to them, and it is not recorded that he ever lost a horse or mule while he was whistling on the tow-path. There are many countries whose Nationals, as boys, have pursed their lips, whistled the national refrain or some passing ditty, with the possible exception of Turkey. As a former resident of that land informs me, "there is nothing to whistle for. There may be under the new regime, but until recently nobody whistled.

In the not distant rast the writer has listened to some professional whistlers. They were marvelous. In fact, I was so Impressed with the music from their whistling that I hied myself to a quiet place and experimented with my "whistle." And thus one could go on and on enumerating the gladness coming from the boy who purses his lips, the workman as he trudges behind the handles of a plow or harrow, or the one who listens to the birds of the forest and makes a brave attempt to Imitate them. "Prof." Charles Gray of Columbia University, avers that only a moron whistles. I'll agree with the "professor" for his interp-station of the word fits in nicely with the wonderful progress made by Turkey and the nincompoops who go to make up all the other countries of this mundane sphere.

The whole world is made up of morons and the only honest-to-goodness person who, in his own estimation, contains all that is worth knowing, 13 this person, who really had to say something out of the ordinary to the end that he might ho his name appeared in cold type. Yes, we all are morons and "Prof." Shaw is the only sane person outside of Turkey. Sincerely yours, W. J. ROHr SR.

Cincinnati, Ohio, October 1. GOVERNOR' To Open New River Highway Near Bellaire Saturday Two States To Be Represented. SrECIAL DISPATCH TO THB EUQUIKEE. Bellaire, Ohio, October 15 When Governor White cuts the Bilk cord across Route No. 7, a few miles below here Saturday, he officially will open the longest and most expensive highway in Ohio.

Route No. 7 extends from Youngs-town to near Cincinnati, a distance of 420 miles along the Ohio River, and the final strip, between here and Powhatan, costing nearly $1,000,000 a mile will be opened formally this week. One entire hillside virtually was blown away to make way for the roadway at the Narrows, five miles south of this city. It was described by state highway officials as the greatest engineering feat ever 'attempted by the departftient in Ohio. The highway passes through the most scenic part of the state as well as the most historic.

Marietta, located on the route, is the site of Ohio's first settlement. An almost uninterrupted city of factories and plants extends throughout the route, either on the Ohio or West Virginia side. Representatives from every county through which the route passes are expected to be' in line' Saturday here for the pageant headed by Governor White and officials of the two states.

Yet, the places frequently assigned to citizens for the performance of their civic duty would tend to lessen respect for the act. A beautiful gift tendered in a soiled wrapping, an excellent meal served in carelessness and disorder seem analagous to a vote registered in makeshift surroundings. Is it not possible to use a room, say the auditorium or gymnasium, of public, parochial or private schools for this purpose? The environment would be in accord with the dignity of voting of suh buildings were available. Recreation centers, parish houses, halls offer another choice. Reform in this direction would be of educational value to our foreign born citizens as well as to the rest of us.

Yours truly, MRS. GEORGE W. KOCH. Cincinnati, Ohio, October 14. Correction And Amendment.

TO THB EDITOB OT IBM INQCIRK8. Dear Sir Believing that the Cincinnati Enquirer wishes to print news as accurately as possible and In conformity with the true facts. I should like to correct a statement which appeared in your Wednesday, October 14 edition, in the article regarding Mrs. Alice Pike Barney. The last paragraph states that Alice, a daughter of Mrs.

Alice Pike Barney married a Baha'i priest which is Incorrect insofar as the Baha'i Movement has no priesthood. Many of the Baha'ls devote their entire time to work for 4he cause, but it is the privilege and obligation of all Baha'is to share in the work of teaching, according to their ability and without remuneration. There is no special class distinguished from their fellow-believers by the exclusive exercise of priestly functions. One of the principles of the Baha'i Revelation is that education must be universal and, accordingly, all knowledge which is embraced by the Baha'i Revelation is open to every Individual so that he has no need for a priesthood for his religious instruction or conduct of religious rites and ceremonies. You may also be interested in knowing that another daughter, Laura Clifford Barney visited Abdu'l Baha, the expounder of the Baha'i teachings, in Acca several times and during these visits received the answer and explanation of many spiritual questions which have troubled students for many years.

In order to share their information, Miss Barney compiled the answers in a book called "Some Answered Ques WEATHER FORECAST Washington, October 15 (AP) Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia-Fair Friday and Saturday; not much change in temperature.

Washington, October 15 (AP) Despite President Hoover's emphatic and repeated opposition to a cash bonus, the Veterans of Foreign Wars today laid upon his desk a new de mand for Immediate payment in full.

The President received it in silence but his conclusion was considered foregone. It was little more than three weeks ago that he sped to De troit to carry his anti-cash bonus fight successfully to the floor of the American Legion Convention. With out mentioning the bonus by name, he left no doubt of his meaning when he told the close-packed hall: "We can carry our present expenditures without jeopardy to national stability. We can carry no more without grave risks." 'President Hoover was firmly opposed to granting veterans power to borrow up to this 50 per cent limit. TT vetoed a bill to this end, but Con gress passed it over his disapproval.

Foolish Finance Ruling. Ohio must hold some sort of rec ord in devising ways to drive money nt of the state to other quarters where It will be less heavily subject to taxation and litigation. The latest to frifirnten People who nave not been frightened to date is that of Ira J. Fulton, State Banking tu- rint.nrlent. who has ruled in the case of two closed Toledo banks that trust funds held by those banks hnniri bfi regarded as regular de posits and distributed to depositors on liquidation.

The case, of course, is going immediately to Court, on the challenge of the Ohio Bankers' Association, the Fifth Third Union Trust Company of this city and three Toledo trust companies. Their contention is that such trust funds are not to toe listed as assets of the bank, but are properties held by the banks in trusteeship, for administration. It certainly seems that these trust funds should be given the status of preferred creditors in liquidation, ehould be as free from arbitrary seizure by the banking department as property held in deposit boxes. They are made up of personally owned securities, and the bank is essentially only a collecting and reinvesting agent. It is conceivable that any income earned by these trusts which is uninvested at the time of a bank failure should be considered as money on deposit.

It would be subject, with other assets of the bank, to general distribution on liquidation. But to assume officially, as the Attorney-General and the banking department are ready to assume, that the principal of these trust funds should go, in case of bank failure, into the bands of the banking department that would make it still more difficult to keep large trusts in Ohio and would frighten away some of the $6,000,000,000 now held here. One of the reasons for removing the general property tax from securities in Ohio was to encourage the holding of important trust money within the state. We must continue to encourage it by every other legitimate means. I Danger In The Far East War between China and Japan is more than a mere possibility, and it is a danger to Western nations, as well as the two principal states involved.

Manchuria for many decades has been a danger spot in Asia, with Japan and China and Russia waging a triangular contest for control in this potentially rich province of North Japan, whose need for expansion Is more immediate, has fought two major wars for a foothold in Manchuria. If necessary, Japan will fight anotfler, unless the Powers of the world bring pressure against this step. Three principal means exist for enforcing the peace in the Far East These are the Kellogg-Briand Pact, the nine-power treaty and the League of Nations. Thus far the efforts of the United States under the firfct two treaties have been unsuccessful. Japan has flouted the endeavors of all mediators.

And China has not, helped matters by her boycott campaign against Japanese.

The stakes are large enough to justify any non-military measures authorized under the League covenant which promise to stop Japan's aggression in Manchuria. The President and Laval. The visit of Premier Pierre Laval with President Hoover suggests a certain significance. Such visits are not merely idle gestures, perfunctory projections of diplomatic policy.

Behind them lies design, purpose-often, perhaps, sincerity and hope. These men are the heads of two great democratic countries. What they shall have to say concerning the relations between this country and France and international complexities generally should result in profitable understanding at least. Such interchange of view and opinion can do little harm to the United States. There is the suggested possibility that war-debt payments extension may be considered at the meeting of Premier and President.

If this should develop in concrete realization the French Premier should be advised that the taxpaying public of America not only are not intrigued by such possible proposal, but inexorably are antagonistic to it. Senator Borah pertinently dis poses of this matter, in accordance with popular American view, when he declares it to be unwise and unjust to ask American taxpayers to help Europe until Europe first shows a willingness to help herself. But additional understanding arrived at by the two statesmen through personal interchange of view should operate for good. Premier Laval, in a recent official pronouncement at Jumont, France, upon his return from Berlin, where friendly diplomatic visit also was made, asserted that definite progress toward the facilitation of better and closer relations between France and Germany had been accomplished. As he put it: "A new hope has been born.

A new method has been adopted." Let it be hoped that his visit with President Hoover may enable the American people to agree with him that -this is so, and that one more distinctive step has been taken toward the elimination of world misery and promote that stability which tends to consolidate peace on earth. Strange Hysterias. Hysteria, hypocondria, panic the despair of doctors.

We are the bosses of a mighty empire the mightiest in the world, and yet the jiggling punpkin-faces of fear send us scuttling for cover all along the line. There is no sense to it.

A quaint Dutchman, a Scot complete with bagpipes, a long-coated Russian, a little lady who might be supposed to have gathered grapes in France are represented by the little figure. Vodka, gin, whisky, vermuth and other beverages were there, ana not bought from bootleggers, and are served in these quaint vessels. The little set of figures had been bought recently, and since that time many equally novel cacktail sets and also a great many glasses and shakers of original design have appeared.

In some houses hostesses have furnished charming little cocktail bais. Some of these are like the tiny parlors of the country inns, or, rather, like models of such parlors, for they are rarely larger than a hall cloak cupboard. In one delightful little country house the writer found a miniature room which had once been a coal cellar. It contained a tiny bar, behind which was an array of shakers, glasses and pewter, a stock of cigars, cigarettes of all kinds, some church warden pipes, and also a little gate-legged table and some wheel-backed chairs.
