A. G.. B. on his splendid letter in the
interest of peace. The Iowly Naz-
arene, the Prince of Peace, taught his
followers to say the prayer begin
ming with "Our Father" Now, since
God is our father, we are all his chill
dren, and, therefore, equally entitled
to the use of his free gifts to all man
kind, the air, the water, the sunshine
and the land.
Society, church and state assert
that none but landowners have any
right to be on the earth at all, unless
they pay brother man for permis-
sion to remain here. Here is the CO.
lossal crime of the centuries, the abb
solute denial of the fundamental
teachings of Jesus Christ, and this
crime, this denial, is the cause of
vice, crime, misery and war, with
all it's hellish accomplishments, in
Guiding the massacre of children and
violating Of women.
Our Father clearly intended that
all his children should have a right
to be on his earth and have an equal
right to the use of it and until we
cease trying to thwart his benevo-
lent intentions there can be no happi-
ness or peace. w. Mcguire.

COLONEL EDWARD n. HOUSE.
but denied that his trip to Europe was
in any way connected with a possible
mission looking toward peace or that
he was the personal emissary of Presi-
dent Wilson. Il did not talk peace,
and that was not my mission abroad"
Colonel House declared.
1t is known that Colonel House has
made frequent confidential reports to
the president on the sentiment toward
peace, following his visit to the capitals
Of the various nations. These reports
have told particularly of the results of
interviews with government officials
in the different countries.
The president has relied on Colonel
House NOR than upon any other one
man for correct information concerning
official and popular opinion in the bel
ligerent nations. Through the colonel
he has kept in very close touch with
peace discussions, with the hope Of
urging his original offer of mediation
at the proper time.
Colonel House was born in Houston.
Tex, in 1853. and was graduated from
Cornell college in 1881. For years he
was active in Texas politics. although
he always refused to run for any Office
himself. He is indeed a mystery in
politics. for he wants nothing for him
self. He has been mentioned as a pos
sible successor to Mr.. Bryan as secre-
tary Of state. but it is doubtful If he
would accept the office.

ETIQUETTE.

A few "don'ts" for both men
and women guests may well
come under the head of etiquette,
which after all means only good
manners and pOliteness.
A hostess should not feel COM
PEELED to watch her guests and
check incipient airtations. A girl
or man who is engaged. when
the fiancee or tiance Is absent.
should not place his hOspitable
hostess in the uncomfortable pO-
sition Of having to caution him
against constantly seeking other
distractions. Gossip will follow
unfortunately. and often results
are fatal to the future happiness
Of all concerned from the thought
less wish to ''have a good time"
regardless Of conventionality.
Those who rail against the
laws Of social usage called "eti-
quette" must try to believe that
conventionality is the bulwark
Of society. Without it freedom
would develop into license. and
great unhappiness would follow.
There is no reason for prudish-
ness, but prudence should be the
rule.
Amusement Is all right unless
It falls into the depths Of indis-
cretion. Then It means mourning
censure. Guests should have
the thought Of their own respon-
sibnity always IN mind and car.

Traps In French.

A frequent trap in French for the
unwary is the difference of meaning in
similar phrases. For example. 'faire
feu" means to fire a gun. while 'faire
du feu" mean to light a fire: "tomber
par terre" conveys the idea of falling
to the ground from ones. own height.
whereas ''tomber a terre" means to fall
from any height-in other words, to
tumble down and to tumble OF. In
the same way ''traiter de. fat" means
to call a man a fop' and ".traiter en- roi''
TO treat him, Ikea king. H

formances of the entrants are pre-
dieting that the winner here will
have to average close to 80 miles
an hour.
A pace even approximating such
velocity will certainly make the
present Vanderbilt the most dan
gerous of these cup events, as
every steersman entered seems to
appreciate.
The start is scheduled for 10
O'Clock Monday, the entrants to
be sent away at intervals in small
groups from in front of the main
grandstand seating 10000 people.
The race should consume approx
imately four hours, with the cars
completing lap about every
three minutes.
Interest in the race, especially
throughout the automobile world,
Is further intensified by the facs
that both Dalph De Palama and
Harry Grant, who are entrants,
have twice won the Vanderbilt
and need win It but once more
to retain it permanently. 1t is
now held by De Palma, with a
Mercedes.
The 1915, and perhaps the last
of the present Vanderbilt cup con-
tests, will be peculiarly an Amer
lean event, most of the famous

pected to compete being detained
because of the war.
