LAWS OF WAR"

A law OF war is q contradiction in
terms. War is a suspension of law.
a breaking down of self-government.
AS we'll one might talk of the laws
of murder. ignoring the fact that
murder is capital violation of law:
or the laws of piracy, forgetting that
pirates recognize no laws. When men
clash at fisticuffs, or draw pistols to
settle some foolish dispute, they are
for the moment obhvious that such
thing as law exists. Law contem-
plates the carrying of such disputes
to the authorities for adjustment, and
when angry combatants take matters
into their own hands they lapse back
to their primitive instincts to bite and
claw. 1t is the same with nations. ex-
cept that nations have Jagged behind
the Individual in adjusting their con-
duct to civilized methods. A nation
with a chip on it's shoulder courts
trouble and will find 1t. 1t may boast
of civilization, but at the supreme test
such nation il shown to possess but
a veneer of culture; the rest IN
bundle of barbaric instincts ready to
burst into destructive action at the
slightest excuse. Some day there will
be one real law of war, and that will
be an absolute prohibition of war,
signed and agreed to by every nation
on earth, large and small. And the
force OF decent public sentiment will
be such that the nation which becomes
aggressor, in violation Of the agree
ment. will be looked on with the same
scorn which is now visited upon the
thug.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

There are many things that even

not understand. And one is why people
paint their houses pink or blue.

is a small old fashioned house. No.
take back that word nesting" It
doesn't nestle, 1t shrinks away from the
frs and they from it. for the house is
painted a bright. salmon pink.
The road is favorite drive on which
we always take our visitors, and I do
not think one Of them fails to express
surprise and distaste at that unfOrtu-
nate house. Yet some one must have ad-
mired it, else it would not have been
painted that miserable color.
The whole question of house painting
is a very interesting one to me. I think
the color and paint condition of q
house has more to do with it's power
factor. The girl with nondescript feat
ures but fresh, pretty color is usually
hailed as a pretty girl by the casual
observer: whereas the girl with well
cut features but a pale or muddy skin
Is passed by without notice. And SO
1t is with houses. The thoughtful OBJ
server may appreciate good lines, but
tracted to a house If its fine lines are
obscured by ugly or dingy paint.
! OF course the whole question of
painting is a question Of personal
preference. Yet there are 'canons of
good taste and of bad taste here as in
everything.
Personally I like q white house best.
Paint it white" is always my cry. But
a letter friend with whom have been
discussing this subject presents a point
Of view which is worth considering.
Don't paint your house white unless
the lines are perfect,-it win look like
a tombstone. And don't outline the
windows of a dark house with white.
That is a common error and is so ugly.
If they do not plumb you see it Instant
