NAVAL ADVANCE
The average citizen naturally measures a navy’s
strength in terms of its fighting ships. A naval strate-
gist has other standards. Prosaic things like drydocks
naval yards and so on figure very largely in his
calculations.
80 It Is that the American navy plans to s})end
$150001)00 on the most amazing floating drvdock ever
designed. This craft will be more than 1000 feet long
and 165 feet wide it will have a pointed bow and a
stern gate wi.ich can be ojiened so that fighting ships
can be taken auoard
If will accommocate the largest naval vessels in-
cluding the giant aircraft carriers Lexington and
Saratoga It can be towed at a speed of ten knots—
something absolutely unheard of for structures of
this type
This will make little stir in the mind of the lay-
man. To naval strategists it is one of the most in-
teresting developments in recent naval history For If
It works It will enable a fleet to make its base where-
ever it finds a deep harbor.
It will give the navy a flexiiibihtv and a freedom
from fixed bases such as no naval commander here-
tofore has ever thought possible.
A KING’S DUTY
in the old days a king was something more than
the ruler of a country. He was supposed also to stand
♦n the position of friend and protector for the down-
trodden masses who but for him would be completely
at the mercy of the powerful nobles.
It Is hard to read about King Edwards recent
tout of the black areas” m Wales without sending that
the victim: ol England's industrial shakeup still have
*hat old feeling ttv ard their king.
Fdward visited manv poverty-stricken villages
talked with hundreds of men who have not worked
for many year listened to complaints and entered
humble homo* and. through the accounts of his
visit one can zee that old feel mg rising—the feeling
*hat here was a man who was above clas* and pftrv
a man who could be the common mans defender
against industrial injustice.
As long as the average Briton looks on his sovereign
in that light the kingship 1* not a fifth wheel but
an essential part of British democracy.
HAPPY OMEN
One very excellent sicn of the time* is the fact
that contributions to organized charities have gone
substantially upward this fall
In seventy-eight cities that have been collecting
Community Chest subscriptions of late more than
$38 000.000 has been paid in. In most of these cities
final figures are not yet available; where such figures
are at hand they shew that most cities have passed
their objective* and have roller'ed more money than
they requested.

UNSHAPELY EXTERNAL EARS CAN BE MADE
NORMAL BY PLASTIC SURGERY
There la much more to the ear than appears on
the outside of the head although that is the part
that is prominent and gives us a lot of concern
Besides the external ear there are what we call
the middle ear and the internal ear.
The external ear Includes the part that is on
the outside and the small canal which runs down
as far as the eardrum. It is a collection of skin
and other tissue such as cartilage and muscle. In
most human bemgs the muscles are merely rem-
nants of the large ones possessed by animals
so that few people are able to move their ears
easily.
There are really very few conditions affecting
the external ear that are disturbing to the aver-
age person. Some times large portions of the ear
may be absent at birth. Occasionally the ears pro-
ject In an extremely unsightly manner. All these
extraordinary appearance# now can be controlled
by plastic surgery.
A competent expert is able to fasten back the
ear If it sticks out. to rebuild an ear out of other
tissue and to modify the chape of the ear if it is
unshapely.
• • •
Many mothers believe that lop ear* are caused
by children sleeping with ears crumpled under their
heads or wearing hats pressed down on their
ears. There Is no evidence however that these
factors are really of any importance. The fault
Is one of anatomical development. Manipulation
and bandaging the ears to hold them against the
head will not correct such condition.
Small tumors occasionally will develop on the
outer ear. These may be removed If they show the
slightest tendency to growth or irritation.
The ear may be infected by pimples or boils
or by an infection of the type of erysipelas which
causes it to swell to tremendous size. Such condi-
tions should have the best available survival treat-
ment to prevent destruction and damage that would
require plastic surgery for repair
• • •
One of the most common forms of Injury to
the external ear is the development of what the
pugilist calls a “tin ear.” Repeated pounding causes
blood *o pour into the tissues of the ear and sur-
rounding areas Such swellings at first are bluish-
red. and feel like dough
In the worst rases surgeons open the tissue
and remove the blood clot to prevent permanent
thickening and swelling The' also apply special
bandages to m^ld the ear and hold It in shape
while It is healing

After Dinner
NONCHALANT
A \*oung man and woman entered a Pullman
sleeper and were Immediately put down by other
passengers as a bridal couple. But the young pair
were so ^If-possessed that the others began to
doubt If thetr surmise was right after all
As the train moved out of the station however
the young man rose to remove his overcoat and
a shower of confetti fell onto the floor
The other occupants of the car smiled broadly
but the young man was equal to the occasion.
Turning to hla partner he remarked loudly:
‘Tve tatcen the bridegroom’s overcoat by mistake!”
IN DOUBT
He was just off on a business trip around the
world and she was seeing him off.
Just before the boat left the dock she clung
to him and implored
“My deareu. will you be true to me when you
are far away? Promise that you will write to me
from every place you visit.”
As he kissed her he asked suspiciously:
“Ls tt love that prompts you to sav this or are
you merely collecting foreign stamps?”

Behind the
Scenes in
Washington ]
By RODNEY DITCHER
The Brownsville Herald Washington
Correspondent
WASHINGTON. — Although the
New Deai.rs who want to curb the
U. S. Supreme Court are busier
than ever trying to figure out Just
i how. there is no more agreement
as to the best method than the*
a as last year or the year before.
Each of the several suggestion*
considered has It* drawbacks. Pro-
ponents of one or another who
think they have the best solution
are promptly challenged by others
who profess to see its flews.
Proposals for a constitutional
amendment are subject to attack
on several grounds —even among
those who favor reform. An amend-
ment would be likely to take
years for ratification by the states
and could be defeated by IS state*
containing less than ft per cent of
the popu.atlon. assuming It could
be passed by two-thirds majorities
m congress.
Liberals are so divided as to how
such amendment should be phrased
that it might be very difficult to
frame one which wou.d be accept-
ab.e to 38 states.
• • •
Frar Future Tyranny
Many liberals aren’t sure an
amendment could be fixed up
which would permit progressive
social - economic legislation free
from supreme court Interference
without reducing the court’s value
as a future check on legislative or
executive tntereference with hu-
man liberties.
One answer sometimes made to
that objection Is that the German
Supreme Court was once relied on
for such protection but that Hit-
ler had no trouble upsetting Its
power.
Proposals that congress pass cer-
tain aci* earmarked as not re-
; viewable by t ie court* are regard*
by some authorities as accept-
ab e from a constitution .1 stand-
point. but they would be more pop-
ular if congress having set such
a precedent rould be depended on
o earmark nearly all legislation in
that manner and thus destroy the
i court
Requirement that court decisions
ho'ding acts of congress unconsti-
tutional should be bv a vote of at
least 6 to 3 or even 7 to 2 is an-
