renee of the 18th of May. that date
ypon which the first peace conference at
The Hague was held. 1t officially desiS-
mates that date as Peace day and lays
down a program intended TO impress upon
the minds of tie children of the nation
the folly of war. 1t asks the schools of

DR. p p Claxton. as commissioner OF
education. has given the stamp of federal
approval to a campaign that has here
tofore been carried on by such organize
tions as the American Peace Society and
the International School Peace League
He takes the position and through his
action places the federal government in
United States is irrevocably pledged TO
peace.
DIR. C1axton holds that the doctrines of
the citizens of the future are gathered
during the formative years of school life.
He holds that the lesson of peace planted
with the children of today will I'M
avoidably develop into a sentiment of
peace that will control the men of to-
morrow. He believes that showing the
children of today the folly of spending
~ per cent of all taxes for war pur-
poses will cause the men of tomorrow TO
take definite action. He believes that
one of the most effective ways of fixing
big idea in the mind of the child is
through some day of special observance.
Ii was on May Is, 1899. that the first
international peace conference. called by
the Car of Russia and invited by the
young Queen of Holland to meet at The
Hague. first assembled in the widely
famed house in the woods and there
dehberated upon the possibilities of doing
away with war. At the Mohonk confer
cnce of 1909 DIR. Daniel c. Gilman initi-
ated the movement of introducing the
peace propaganda into colleges and uni
versities
Through the influence of a committee
appointed at that time. $50 colleges and
universities are now observing Peace day.
The International Peace Association
composed of representatives of seventy
colleges and universities in the middle
west. through the medium Of interstate
developed the idea among the colleges
The National Association of Cosmopolitan
Clubs proved another strong influence in
the institutions of higher learning.
Upon the occasion of the meeting of the
first national peace congress held in New
York in 1907. 5000 delegates from the
public and private schools of New York
city held an overflow meeting. From this
overflow meeting grew the American
School Peace League. This league has
grown until it now has branches in
twenty-eight states and in all of these it
has gained much Roadway toward secur-
ing an observance of Peace day.
1t was N 1905 that George fl. Martin.
secretary of the state board of education
of Massachusetts. upon the suggestion
of the American Peace Society. issued
circular to all the school superint endents

Delafie1d Family Incorporates for Mutual Benefit


inghamshire.. who married Mary Head
age and John Delafield who settled in
New York in 1IS3 were members
There is nothing radically new about
such a family organization remarked
one of the members. "A few years ago
the Beekman family was Incorporated
under, I believe. much the same auspices
and purposes. The Grant family also has
such an association, while in Europe
there are a great many family associa-
tons.
a family association can do much
more for its worthy members than could
be accomplished in any other way. Trust
funds and specific requests cease TO exist
after a time. Wealthy members of the
family may leave funds to the associa-
ton, knowing that they will be wisely
used. and there IS no other way in which
all of these things can be satisfactorily
accomplished except by means OF such
an Incorporated body.
There are probably 200 members of the
Delafield family in different parts OF the
country. The association membership at
present consists of barely more than
thirty. The five directors named in the
Incorporation papers are Richard Della
field, who is president OF the association,
Maturin /. Deiafie!d of New York, whose
home is at Riverdale; Edward Henry
Deiafield OF Noro:on. Conn. Wallace
Delafield OF St. Louis. and r.. {. Delafteid
OF Riverdale.
Richard Delafield is, perhaps, the best
known member of the family IN view OF
his banking and financial competitions.
He has been president of the National
Park Bank of New York city since 1900.
and is director of the Plaza Bank, the
Yorkville Bank, the Mount Morris Bank,
the American Surety Company, the West
inghouse Electric Company and other or
gan cations. He has also been for years
a trustee of Trinity corporation. Among
his clubs are the Tuxedo, Union League
and Racquet and he is member. of the
Sons of tie Revolution.
Mr. Delafeld was born at the country
home of his father Rufus King Della
field. at New Brighton. Staten Island. and
early in life organized the mercantile
firm of Delafeid, McGovern & Co., one
of the largest American houses dealing
In Pacific slope products. Mr.. Delafield
in his banking activities has followed the
traditional bent of the family, one of his
uncles being president Of the old Phoenix
Bank. while others were directors of
banking and insurance companies and
prominent merchants.
Matur:n l.. Delafeld is the son OF Maj.
Joseph Delafield, the second son of the
founder of the family in this country. He

hoped might bring the war to an end.
During this conference, which ended IN
the peace of Portsmouth, the people OF
the world looked on with interest and
sympathy. and it was the common hope
that the war should cease. Stopping this
war was the first great demonstration of
the efficacy of resort to The Hague pro-
cedure.
The second part Of the plan. which the
committee on arbitration adopted. antici-
pated preventing war by the appoint
ment of committees composed of men
from other countries to inquire into a
case of dispute. The bureau of education
believes that history has also proven this
provision for an international commits
sion of inquiry wise and sufficient if pub
lie opinion should ever resort to ii. 1t
was tried out most thoroughly in a con-
troversy that rose between Great Britain
and Russia six years later.
During the Russian Japanese war the
Russian fleet fired on British fishing yes
sells which it had mistaken for the Jap
anese fleet Had The Hague not provided
a manner of settling this apparent out
rage upon British subjects war would
have been inevitable. But under the rule
of inquiry England could honorably refer
this matter to an Investigating commit
tee. One was appointed and an equitable
settlement was reached, under which Rus
STA paid an indemnity of S3.yO000. So did
the "Dogger Bank affair end without
war.

toward the doing away with all war and

Now finally appears the federal govern
ment with the idea of going - the very
fountain source of all public opinion and
planting i'm the minds of American youth
the definite information that the public
must have in the demand of the future

POINTERS FOR THE MoToRlsT.

When a tube is punctured, the first
thing to do is to find out if the pune
ture is in one wall of the tube only or
if both walls are perforated. Next a
careful examination should be made
to determine that no part of the article
which caused the puncture has lodged
inside the tube.
Then select red para patch" says
a recent Michelin instruction book,
considerably larger on all sides than
the injury to be repaired and clean
the patch carefully on it's fiat or unbev-
eled side with emery paper. Now lay
the tube on convenient fiat surface,
such as the dash or step, and with
emery paper clean a space around the
puncture slightly larger than the patch
to be used. Coat both the cleaned
surfaces with cement and after this

has dried apply a second coat. In
about ten minutes when the surfaces
still 'tacky' press the patch firmly in
place, taking care that the edges do
not curl. If the patch is bevel-edged
little difficulty will be experienced.
Now tap the patch lightly all over it's
surface with some round, smooth OBJ
ject like the end of tool handle. If
done carefully this will exclude every
particle of air and the cemented sur
faces viii adhere perfectly. Put a
smooth fiat-surfaced weight on the
patch and leave the repair thus as
long as practicable"
