At the weekly Talk on Public Ques-
tions" last Monday morning in WOOD
ward & Lothrop's auditorium Miss janet
Richards began with the statement that
during the past week Washington had
been the scene of three notable corVen-
tions, the Child Labor Congress, the sec
ond annual convention of the Popular
Government League, and the first ma
tional meeting for the organization OF
a womans movement for constructive
peace
Explains Constructive Peace.
This phrase" explained Miss Richards.
means the adoption of a program or
platform sufficiently aggressive in char
acter to challenge the attention of leg
islatures and parliaments, in order to
promote an active propaganda for perma-
nent and constructive peace in contra
distinction to the more passive and the
Oretical methods that have hitherto so
largely obtained.
This propaganda is to create suf-
ficiently strong public sentiment to force
the lawmakers OF all countries to trans
late the will of the people into Jaws which
shall insure permanent peace. And, also,
to substitute more convincing methods
for the establishment of enduring peace
than the semi-military measures adopted
at both the peace conferences at The
Hague-conferences which in the opinion
of many, were more literally conferences
Of war devoted principally to the task
of making the methods of war more
civilized.
And even in this, behold how signallv
they have failed at every turn in the
present European war!

tinued the speaker, will be known as

GETTING A START.
TO PARENTS.
BY NATHANIEL {. FOWLER, JR.

NulelLbuAs A'ASsi
EFT me diverge for once from my
policy of addressing young peo-
- pie directly. that l may say a
few words to fathers and mothers.
The selection of a vocation is usually
made either by the boy himself, by his
parents. or by both.
Theoretically. at least. the parent is
supposed to be the best adviser for his
son, because he has seen more of him
and should be able to diagnose his abil-
ity with some degree of accuracy.
While the parent undoubtedly in
tends to advise the son for his good. it
is obvious that neither the father nor
the mother is infaIlible. and that. being
human, they are likely to err and in
fiuence their boy to his detriment.
We are all more or less swayed by
prejudice. If father. for example, has
made a failure of his work. he is like
Iy to advise his son against II, even
though the latter may be adapted to
il. Conversely, if a father has achieved
success in his vocation. he quite nat
uralIy assumes that what he has done
well his boy can do equally well.
The parent often forgets to study his
boy. and he is quite likely to assume
that his son is fit for this and unf1t for
that.
l do not consider that the advice of
any one person. whether he is a parent
or not, is sufficient to determine the
vocation for a young man.
Composite counsel is far bette: than
individual opinion.
The parent should begin to study his
son when the boy has passed his four
teenth or fifteenth year. perhaps be-
fore; he should watch him carefully.
talk with him in a friendly way. and
bring to his attention the advantages
and disadvantages of the several call
ings, especially those for which he
thinks his son is fitted.
The father should go further. and
consult with his friends. those who
come in contact with his boy, that.
from composite counsel. he may be able
to advise him more definitely and more
carefully.
To push or to force the boy into a
vocation, without careful thought and
considerable study. is as wicked as 1t
is to rob him of his birthright.
Thousands upon thousands of boys
have been started wrong because of
self-opinionated fathers, who, without
consideration, forced their sons into
vocations against their inchnations and
ability.
Many a devoted mother and over-am-
bilious father. wholly from self-pride
and without any real regard for their
offspring. have attempted to cOerce him
into some profession, when the boy had

GIRLS 20. S." CLUB EXPOSED.
Hotel Employees Organize "onIon
Set" Union for Health.

Kansas City. Mo. Jan. 1.-THE secret
of the 20. s" Club at the Hotel Savoy
is out.
Some time since a half dozen of the
women employees of the hotel formed a
secret society. Today the name came
out when one of the young women was
taken to task for eating an onion while
on duty. 20. S" stands for Onion Set"
No apples are permitted for MUNICH
ing by the members; give them an
onion. AN onion a day will keep the
doctor away. and besides they IiRed
them" was a sort of official motto of
the set, but individually they feared to
crafty their taste for fear the manage
ment would object, hence the onion
union"
The management is not strong for
the Onion Set, but the members found
that there was strength in a union as
well as in an onion and they politely
but firmly refused to give up their
favorite fruit" They agree to refrain
from onions while on duty. So far the
argument has been a draw.

absolutely no liking for II or ability to
practice 1t. They would have their son
a lawyer when the boy would make a
good business man. They would force
him to become a teacher when he lack
er the power to impart information.
They would make a Business man of a
student who loved his books more than
money.
Remember. parents. that your boy. on
the threshold of life. is soon to be his
own master. and that you have no more
right to force him under your will than
you have to steal his overcoat or shoes.
The boy of today is the man of to-
morrow. and what you do with him to-
day may make or break him tomorrow.

losses in many instances actually
threatening international bankruptcy.
Neither national inoffensiveness nor
military impOtency with the moral sup
port of piece of paper has avaied to
assure a nations integrity against the
eXigenCies of modern warfare. However
much we may deplOre the fact, it is
nevertheless true that the only safe
guard a nation has is its power to defend
itself against foreign aggression-that is,
in the present deplorabIe state of interna-
tional politics We have examples of two
extremes vividly before us-Germany
armed to the teeth and Belgium unpre-
pared-both now at war
Diplomacy has failed utterly. 1t must
now be discarded for a system of inter
national relations where there will be no
more contemplate espionage and no more
secret treaties between nations, but
where all agreements and treaties are to
be recorded upon a register in the custody
of court Of international justice open
TO the world.
Publicity, the sunlight of Gods truth,
is what is needed in international rela-
tions. Such publicity would have pre-
vented the present war. Germany sd-
mits that the final lineup of the powers
was far different from what she had
expected. l refer to England and Italy
in Germany's diplomatic miscalcula-
tions."
CIews Advocates Preparedness.
Henry Clews said. in part: Il have for
years advocated peace, to be secured by
arbitration OF international differences
before an international supreme court,
and often have said that to insure peace
with honor to the United States We must
alwaEs be prepared for war. our army
and navy and our coast defenses ever
kept in a state OF highest efficiency, our
militia well drilled and disciplined, and
all the armed forces of the country al
ways in perfect readiness for any emer-
genCy~
For purposes of defense against pos
sible attack, for the honor OF our nation
and its immense interests, let us avoid a
false sense of security and put ourselves
in an impregnable potion, so fully
armed that We will command the re-
spect of the entire world. and thus be-
come the strongest agent in the preser-
walton and perpetuation of universal
peace. We shall not be attacked if the
world is made to realize that our armed
strength Is only a guarantee OF our
peaceful purpose to maintain our honor
and defend our integrity"
Former Minister Marburg was enthusi-
astic in advocating the establishment of
an international court. Courts of arbi-
tration, inquiry, and mediation" he said,
''have been used for years, but they do
not operate successfully"
