of the United States-the spirit of mil
itarism, mother to the cry of Prepared
ness the root of all war"
These words, uttered by Henry Ford,
mark the beginning of what henceforth
will be the life work of the mSn-to
strike with everything he commands
at what he declares to be the direct
cause Of all war and all national an
tipathies that breed war-prepared-
ness.
81 would teach the child at its moth
ers knee" said Mr.. Ford, what a
horrible, wasteful and unavailing thing
war is. In the home and in the schools
of the world l would see the child
taught to feel the uselessness of war,
that war is a thing unnecessary. that
preparation for war can end only in
war.
81 have prospered much, and / am
ready to give much to end this con-
stant, wasteful 'preparation'-not by
building peace, not by inspiring fear
full peace by powerful armament, but
by teaching the men, women and chill
dren of America that war does not
threaten us, that war Will not reach
us, and that the fullness Of peace is
their inheritance, not the burden Of
militarism.
"They have called in Thomas Edison
to help their war plans. Let me say
that Mr.. Edison never has had and, in
my opinion, never will use his great
brain to make anything which would
destroy human life or human property.
He could destroy nothing. His mind
is q constructive mech Nnism that ab-
hors destruction, and war is destruc-
ton. He is a man of peace, for he
realizes the true meaning of war-wan-
ton, unnecessary and unreasoning de-
struction, death and disruption of all
that peace has builded.
1--WE build vast naval machine to-
day. few months hence it is sur
passed by that of another country and
is practically useless. We give our SOL
diers a death dealing rife. Tomorrow
another nations soldiers have weap-
on that surpasses ours.
1.-The United States has spent more
than a billion dollars on navy and
army that were TO cope with an inva-
sion that never occurred and never
will occur And yet the very war e1-
perts' who are responsible for that bur-
densome army and navy admit that
our army and navy would never have
been able to meet with any hope Of
success those OF other so called pow
ers."
Il could today make vast sums from
warfare if l 80 chose, but it would be
better to die pauper than that any
thing l have helped to make or that
any thought, word or act of mine
should be used for the furtherance of
this slaughter.
II know Of nothing to which l would
rather give my life, nothing that would
give me more certain feeling that
was doing a mans work, nothing that
would make me feel more content in
the knowledge that / had done a great
duty that had been placed before me,
than to use that which | have to help
bring to an end 6,000 years of this un-
justified hatred, ruthless waste, de-
gtruction and murder"

A TRUE INCIDENT

"Doctor, are your instruments clean
and sterilized9" asked Mr.. k as
he settled himself comfortably in the
dental chair.
~ am very glad that you asked me
that question:" I answered, while I
began to scrub my hands witt soap,
brush and water. "In fact, 1 would
like to see everyone exercise the same
amount of care in this very important
matter. Now, just watch closely what
will happen, while l will pretend to
keep on talking to you"
At this moment the dental nurse en-
tered the room. She had just finished
making an appointment with the pa
tient who had preceded Mr.. k.
Without glancing in our direction, she
removed all the instruments which were
on the table, and placed them in the
sterilizer She then, in a matter of
fact manner, cleaned the table spotless-
iy, and placed on it clean mirror for
my use. She then placed clean towel
about Mr.. k, in order to protect
his linen.
Not a word had passed between the
nurse and me. The whole thing was
SO methodically done that it took Mr..
K by surprise.
"You see, l have my dental nurse so
trained that cleanliness and the sterili-
zation of instruments has become sec
ond nature witt this office. We don t
boast of it; it is the very first thing
the public should expect of good den
tai servants.

The new boleros, made purely for
the purpose of adding a coquettish de-
tail to the toilette, or to add to the
spice of life little variety in dress,
will make attractive holiday gifts.
They are made of chiffon or figured
ribbons or thin crepe combined with
laces, and nothing could be simpler
than their construction. One Of
them is shown in the picture above,
made Of pink crepe georgette hor-
dered with wide band of silk lace.
The lace is used to form standing
collar at the back of the neck, where
it is plated and wired into the right
position.
This little jacket is only one among
innumerable designs. 1t illustrates
the shape and adjustment Of a gar
ment which may be made up to suit
the individual taste. For the sake of
definition it is pictured over dark
street dress, but is meant to be worn
over a light dress. There are very
handsome Jackets, made of rich bro
caded or figured ribbon bordered with
plain velvet or ribbon, worn with
dark gowns in colors that harmonic.
Another suggestion for the holidays
appears in the plain collar of fine Or

through they could see where the old
