j. s. CALLS A
PEACE MEETING

The United States has issued a call
for the holding of the third peace con-
ference at The Hague next year. This
government took this action, it is I'M
derstood, at the request of Queen Will
helmina of Holland.
Failure of the next Hague confer
ence has been threatened through the
neglect of some of the great powers
to take the steps necessary for the
preparation of the program of sub
jects to be considered in time to in
sure the assembly of the conference
next year, according to the recon-
mendations of the last conference.
One of the protocols adopted by
that conference recommended that the
governments represented appoint in
dividual committees to prepare lists of
subjects to be placed on the program
for the meeting two years in advance
of actual date of assembly, which was
to be in 1915, if the usual practice
was followed.
The United States promptly ap-
pointed as it's committee Reuben
Clarke of Utah, then solicitor of the
department of state; Judge Advocate
General Crowder for the army, and
Rear Admiral Wainwright for the
navy, and this committee has done its
work.

AMERICAN GIRLS ABROAD.

American girls travelling in Europe
have Lady Cook to thank for char
acter" and a warm defense against
a favorite form Of libel the refutation
OF which, II unnecessary for those
who know them, Is none the less grad-
flying. They do not go abroad to
have good time," which includes
cigarette-smolking and drinking; and
as respects the latter charge, Lady
Cook instances the complaint of Eu-
ropean hotel-keepers that American
girls will not drink wine. "Of fifty
young professional and business wom-
en- on the way across only one took
cocktail, and the other girls felt sorry
for her." A few actresses and society
women may smoke, but not "the self
respecting woman" According to
Lady Cook 1t is due to the presence
of American girls that streets in Con-
tinental cities once unsafe after dark
for women are now "as safe as our
own Broadway" No tribute to their
civilizing influence could be finer. The
race OF Daisy Millers Is doubtless not
yet extinct, but unquestionably .the
girl whose indiscretons provoke COM
ment among foreigners Is the excep-
ton among the general rule Of self-re-
liant and self-respecting young wom-
en- who make the voyage to Europe in
annually increasing numbers. They
change their skies but not their char
acter when they cross the ocean.

WOMEN POLICE.

Women police is the latest pana-
cea for the attainment of ideal civic
conditions. The idea emanates. Of
course, from the facile, not to say
erratic, brain of a woman reformer,
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, president Of
the National Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation, who informed the students
of the University of Minnesota the
other day that all Minneapolis needs
to become model city is 100 women
on its police force "One hundred
women specialists on its police force
Of a city would make for improvement
in civic conditions" It will doubtless
strike the ordinary observer that
what the average criminal needs
most Is fathering-adminis with
a strong hand. The criminal has been
mothered already ad nauseam. States
and municipalities vie with each other
in coddling him. Large sums are
spent to make his cell boudoir and
to save the poor convict from feeling
the shame of his condition.

MISSIONS OF wIsHsoNEs.

Wishbones have found a more ex-
alted mission than enabling romantic
young persons to tell which one is 60
ing to get married first. A ribbon
trimmed box containing twenty-five
wishbones was sent from boarding
house to a hospital ward the other
day. "The children down there make
furniture out of them" said the giver.
"The nurses keep those that are able
to sit up in bed busy at something
part of the time. They make funny
little houses and the furniture for
them. In fashioning the furniture
they find the wishbones especially
adaptable, so anybody who has only
the price Of chicken can at least
help the hospitals along to the extent
of a wishbone. New York Sun.

EACH NATION TO SHOW
INDIVIDUAL ARCHITEC-
TURE AT EXPOSITION

Building and Industrial News: One
feature of the exposition that will be
interesting to builders will be first
hand production of the architecture
of other nations in the construction
of their respective buildings. The
world will be represented. And the
religion, the climate and the mode of
life will be embodied in the architec-
ture that has grown up under differ
ent conditions and environments.
After all the main feature of the ex-
position will be it's buildings and
grounds, it's landscape gardenings and
lighting effects, so that while the in
dustries of the world will be repre-
sented and the progress of mankind
chronicled in it's exhibits the art of
the builder will be the first and last
exhibit of the great show.

PRESIDENT REBUKES
NEWSPAPER MEN

President Wilson delivered cur
tain lecture to the assembled news
paper correspondents at the last semi
weekly newspaper conference. He
said it was not right for correspon-
dents to talk glibly about what the
president proposed to do and was
thinking of doing in regard to certain
foreign matters, particularly when
their suppositions were entirely with
out foundation and contrary to fact.
"When | come to deal with the repre-
sentative of some foreign country"
the president explained, "and it turns
out that my intentions are exactly
opposite of those published in the
newspapers, the representative of
that country thinks l am not entirely
ingenious. He suspects that | have
something up my sleeve. This en-
barrasses the government in its con-
duct of foreign acairs and patriotic
citizens ought not to embarrass the
government" The president was par
ticularly annoyed at report in re-
gard to the shipment of arms by the
Japanese government to Huerta in
Mexico. The report was based on an
incident seven months old. The ship
ment was made from Japan by pri-
vate individuals, as were many ship
ments from many other foreign coun-
tries, and the matter was entirely de-
void of diplomatic significance.

TOLEDO PHYSICIAN
OPPOSES OPERATION
Only in Extreme Gases is
the Surgeons Knife Requir-
ed-Estimates that Two
Thirds of Operations
Are Not Necessary
Use Every Precaution TO Avoid
An Operation

Few people realize the wonderful
advance medical science has made in
the past few years. Until very late
ly it has been the custom of the fam
lily physician to send his patients to
this or that hospital for surgical
operation, for most any trouble that
did not yield to few pills and other
medicines. The result of this has
been that numerous ambitious doctors
have attempted surgery and pose as
surgeons with no more to recommend
them than an ordinary medical degree
and the commissions they pay to the
other doctors for sending in business.
Such practice has had a tendency to
cast disrepute upon the really capable
specialist or surgeon who will always
refuse to operate case where there
is any doubt of benefit, while the am
bilious fellow delights to stick his
knife into the human victim for no
other reason than to be able to say
that he has operated so many cases,
or for the fee he can extract from the
unsuspecting patient
We are glad to state that such prac-
tice is rapidly disappearing and the
fake surgeon no longer has the con-
Hueilce VI Ile peOple VI lie ldHlily
physician.
A person suffering from piles can
now be relieved and often cured in a
few days by certain electrical treat
ment properly applied, and need not
go to any hospital or lose any time
whatsoever. Fistula is often cured in
the same way.
In about one case in ten is sur
gical operation necessary for intesti-
nal trouble, often called appendicitis,
vibratory massage and the Leyden
Jar spark generally relieving at once.
Most operations on the gall bladder
are entirely unnecessary and gall
stones are seldom found
A great many chronic cases are
now being cured with vaccines which
have defied other methods for years.
DR.. Hunt, of 800 Superior street,
Toledo, says surgical operations are
often necessary and when performed
by really competent surgeon are sell
dom dangerous, but that no one
should submit to surgical operation
until all other methods of treatment
have been Investigated.
DR.. Hunts offices are thoroughly
equipped for the treatment Of such
cases and his judgment can be relied
upon.--Adv.

PROPOSES IN AQUARIUM
The Only Ones In Captivity, Having
Been Shipped From Cape Hat
teras to New York.

teras to New York.
New York-Nine porpoises have
been placed in the big center pool Of
the aquarium, and are the only living
porpoises in confinement. They
were caught of Cape Hatteras, N.
C., at the one porpoise fishery the
American coaets boasts. After their
confinement for three days in the
narrow crates, they took wildly to
the water and raised tempest In
the big pool, rolling and spouting
and swimming incessantly.
Four times in the past the direo-
tor Of the aquarium, has tried to
keep a live porpoise, but none Of his
captives has lived more than few
months, as each of them died from
the effects of injuries received In
transit. Joseph X. Nye, of New Bed
ford, Mass, who owns the fishery at
Cape Hatteras offered to supply DR..
Thompson with the porpoises on the
beach as soon as they were caught,
and the New York Geological Asso-
citation paid the expenses of getting
them to the city.
The pool in the center of the build
ing, which Is thirty feet In diameter
and five feet deep, was selected as
their home. In It were fifteen large
fish, several 300-pound groupers, a
number of bird drum fish and one
sturgeon six feet long. The aquarium
attendants, with nets, poles and
hooks, spent three thrilling hours
catching these fish and transferring
them in safety to other pools.
The porpoises arrived, two in q
crate. The smallest Of them is five
feet long and the largest eight feet.
In weight they range from 200 to
400 pounds. Thus, although small
porpoises, they are Of considerable
size, and it was no easy work for
a dozen hands to get them from
their crates to the pool Swimming,
rolling and rising to spout side by
side almost simultaneously, they
soon created a splashing and flying
of waves and spray that will not stop
as long as the porpoises live.

At 72 Takes UP Athletics.

Paris-Auguste Rodin, the sculptor,
though 7S years old, announced his
intention of going to Reims to take
the course in athletics provided by
the College Of Sports, the national
institution for training Olympic ath-
letes. Rodin is the president of the
college and his greatest desire is to
see France beat all nations save the
United States in 1915 at Berlin. He
declares America hopelessly out
classes other countries in athletics.
His purpose in going to Reims is
double, to benefit his own health and
get a line on what France is doing
to prepare for 1915.

MOTORS DIsPLAcE DOGS.

Motor cars have been adopted by
the monks of st. Bernard, which in
novation has caused some people to
wonder if the dogs of that famous
hospice will be replaced in the life
saving business by automobiles. St.
Bernard dogs, whose ancestors are be-
lieved to be Danish bulldog and the
shepherds dog of the Alps. were
threatened with extinction in 1872,
when, contrary to the rules, the moth
er dogs were sent to the dreaded
pass. None returned from the terrors
of the winter storm and the monks
had to seek new race, which, al
though not of the ancient strain, was
found to be no less intelligent than
its blue-blooded cousins. The new
dog with its Newfoundland blood very
soon became extremely popular.
