Initial Letters For
Children's Apparel

For frocks. undermuslins, stockings
and such things there are. plainly
marked initials which one may pur-
chase by the dozen and attach to the
various articles. Where there are
several children near an age or size
this will save considerable difficulty
and much annoyance If each little be-
longing is carefully marked or la
beled.
Hats may be marked by the name
and address written on slips, written
in indelible ink, of course, and pasted
inside the hatband.
Rubbers may be marked in the same
fashion. or one may mark the name
in red ink right in the overshoe itself,
though this is not always so salts
factory as the first method
Cbildren's handkerchiefs NAV be
kept apart by using different styles OF
initials for each one-a Roman letter
fore one child, a block letter for an
other, and script for third. These,
Of course, mey be purchased already
marked, with the letter already en-
broidered in one corner.

How to Remove A
Bad COMPLEXION
(From London Fashions.)

CFrom London Fashions.)
Cosmetics can never really help a poor
complexion; often they are positively
harmful The sensible, rational way Is
to actually remove the thin veil of
sitting, half-dead scarf skin from the
face and give the fresh, vigorous and
beautiful young skin underneath q
chance to show itself and to breathe.
This Is best done in a very simple
way, by merely applying nercoliZed
wax at night. like cold cream, and
washing 1t of in the morning. Good
mercolized wax can be obtained from
any well-stocked druggist. 1t absorbs
the disfiguring cuticle gradually and
harmlessly, leaving a brilliant natural
complexion. OF course, this also takes
with IT all such facial bIemishes as red
blotches, tan, moth patches, saIlowness,
liver spots, pimples, etc. As freckle
remover and general complexion beauti-
fer this old-fashioned remedy is u1-
equaled.

ALLIANCE AND ARBITRATION
A Confusion of Terms and It's Influence
on the Proposed Treaties.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: AS T happen 70 he one Of the two
japanese mentioned in your news columns
as watching every move" during the re-
cent Carnegie Hall disturbance, and In
view Of your able editorial on Peace ana
Prejudice" ] venture to call your attention
10 a few ideas which suggest themselves to
my mind when thinking over the affair OF
last Tuesday evening.
There are undoubtedly still very many
people. both in this country and ABROAD
who mistake arbitration treaties for polit-
teal alliances or who interpret desire for
international peace as a proposal for imrne-
date disarmament Even the sympatheuc
portion of the audience at the mass meet
ing appeared TO have confused ideas as 20
these points, and the speakers and also the
newspaper reports certainly emphasized the
word peace instead Of. as II seems they
should, explaining the real scope and nat
ure Of general arbitration.
II would also seem that We should re-
member that there really are few oppo
nents % the proposed treaty in Great Brit
ain and France as well as In the united
States who insist that, II Germany were 10
enter into A similar pact with the United
States neither Great Britain nor France
would gain anything-so implying that the
arbitration treaty is but a defensive ALI
ance in disguise
President Taft In his recent speech In
the Pan-American Building, said that the
Japanese government has manifested It's
deep interest and sympathy by modifying
its treaty with Great Britain, which might
have interfered with our arbitration treaty
with England. We appreciate that action -
Until. however, the terms Of the Anglo
japanese Alliance were modified there had
been expressions Of the press OF this c0un-
try in effect suggesting that one aim at
least of the British American treaty for
arbitration was TO detach England from
Japan.
From the very nature of the thing a gen.
eral arbitration treaty is possible only be
tween countries whose vital interests are
not likely TO clash i'm the immediate future;
therefore. the only way to silence German
misgiving concerning the treaties Of the
United states with England and France is
for these two countries to identify their
general interests with those of Germany.
So long as this is impracticabe Just so long
will there he certain amount of opposition
10 the proposed convention I'm and out OF
the country. and this will continue even
when the difference between alliance" and
arbitration" is clearly understood.

ENHANCING LAND VALUES.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 4 number OF writer's in The Tribune
recently have asserted that the unearned
increment IS created by the community
through its industrial activities. II IS high
time that this false doctrine was combated.
The relation between the rentalvalue of land
and the presence of tho community is only
secondary. The primary factor In the en-
hancement Of land values is the attitude
Of the community toward the claimants OF
land Supposlng that ten men should claim
nearly all the land Of North America, and
supposing that the government should rec
ognize this claim; it follows that the rest
o. the land OF this continent would at once
become very valuable and would soon yield
a great rental. But If tho supposition we're
TO be changed so that the state would rec
oCnize only very small claims, and the rest
Of the land be declared open for future
claimants in very small parcels. the oppo-
site result would follow and American land
would cease TO command any very high
price This shows how much more effect
the laws Of land tenure have upon land
rentals than the mere presence Of the com
munity Through land laws. the state ere
ates unearned increment, which is another
name for land monopoly.

rifles FOR AIR TRAFFIC.

France, which from the first essays in
practical ballooning has been chosen
home and scene Of aviation in many
forms, appropriately takes the initiative
IN establishing explicit rules for the con-
troll of aerial traffic. The decree which
has tust been promulgated requires every
aviator TO have both a license for him
self and a permit for his machine.
Each machine must bear a plainly visible
registered number. 1t must also have a
log book, in which the names OF persons
carried and the times and places Of de
partures and arrivals must he recorded.
No explosives are TO be transported
without special permit. which Is mani
festly so fitting as to be practically I'M
perative. Wireless telegraphic appara-
tus is also excluded, obviously In order to
avoid Interference with communications
between fixed points on the earth. II is
n little surprising, but gratifying, IN note
that the same prohibition applies TO pho
tographic apparatus. Doubtless aviators
would usually like TO carry cameras. for
the use of which their flights would af-
ford fine opportunities but the French
government does not mean 10 let privacy

THE LAWS DELAYS.

Ju1tice Golf called attention IN one

We're not ready 10 90 to trial with the
cases on the calendar before him. the
cases were damage suits against en-
ployers. and Of forty-one on the calen-
dar only two were ready. That calen-
dar was relied upon TO furnish cases
not only for the part Of the court IN
which Justice Golf was sitting but TOT p
number Of other parts. and the justice
said that the delay, which the courts
were powerless under the present rules
10 prevent. was only for the purpose or
discussing the terms Of settlements 10

that the rules Of the court need to be
changed so as to give the judges more

too many parts Of the court should not
be left dependent upon them for work

The part these damage cases play IN
crowding calendars and delaying justice
is one strong argument for employers
liability and workingmen's compensation
legislation. Properly conceived laws
would provide for the automatic dls-
-posal Of these damage claims and would
relieve the courts Of a great burden.
