none. We need more schOol-attendance

once heard a man at the tele-
phone ravinE because Central
couldn't connect him with a garage
a mile away. The line was busy. He
was so excited 1 thought his poor
buzz-buggy must have suffered a
serious stroke of paralysis and
needed heroic attention.
Timidly ] suggested that there
was a garage JUST AROUND THE
CORNER and offered to assist in
cushing the helpless machine. When
we arrived and discovered that
nothing was wrong except an
empty gasoline tank. I think the
fellow felt foolish. He LOOKED
foolish anyway.
That's the way with many of US
at times. We don't think straight
we lose our sense of values and
proportion and direction. We act
something like the drunken sailor
who got his wooden leg in knot
Iole and walked around himself all
night. We imagine we are getting
somewhere just because we are
moving and making a lot OF fuss.

bile fellow had quietly asked for

new CANAL PACT
BUYS QUARRELS
Nicaraguan Treaty Violates
Rights of Three Nations,
Says Harry W. Van Dyke.
COSTA RIGA AGGRIEVED
U. S. Ignores Jurisdiction of Salvador
and Honduras in Contracting
for Fonseca Bay Station.

Discussing yesterday the interests
of Costa Rica in the Nicaraguan Canal
treaty that was reported favorably
last Wednesday by the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, Harry
W. Van Dyke. an international lawyer
of this city, referred to what he call
ed the Inevitable irony" with which
many Latin-American diplomats have
commented upon that treaty.
"A friend of mine in that service. -
he said, gave evidence of this the
other afternoon in contrasting our
governments attitude respecting this
convention and its attitude with re-
speCt to the Colombian treaty reported
the same day. AS my friend put it,
continued Mr.. Van Dyke, lit is a Gu
rious fact that this country has never
been able to enter upon any negotia-
tions for an interoceanic canal and
remain within the bounds of law and
morality
AT the precise moment" my friend
went on to say, when this govern
ment is trying. albeit with apparent
ineffectualness, to repair the injury
to COlombia's feelings that has arisen
out Of the so-Called rape of her Pan
anna province. 1t is seeking to acquire
certain rights in connection with a
second transisthmisn canal through
I tho medium OF another treaty that
just as ruthlessly disregards the legal
and just rights of several neighboring
countries down there"
HE alluded, Of course. to the Nicaragu.
an Canal treaty.
Three Countries Injured.
The countries I refer to arc Costa Rica-
without whose concurrence in tho cana
negotiations the proposed treaty is of nc
moro value than the now proverbia
scrap of paper'-and Salvador and Hon
duras, whose sovereign rights are direct.
Iy assailed thereby.
"1n an early treaty (that of 1859 be.
tween Costa Rica and Nicaragua, the
rip ,rian and contiguous territory rights
J of the former along the course of the
proposed canal were recognized and il
was agreed that before entering into any
contract or convention for the construc
tion of such a canal, Nicaragua must
consult the Costa Rlcan government Ir
1883 this treaty was submitted to the
arbitration of President Cleveland, who's,
award, uphOlding its validity, went fur.
ther and held that Costa Ricas consent
was necessary.
The joint rights thus confirmed or
Costa Rica were further upheld by the
Walker canal commission and the United
states in the protocol Of 1900 with Costa
Rica.
L. =. Buys More quarreIs
I'm spite of all this, however, the
| United States appears to be going ahead
with the ratification of a convention that
purports to convey, for 5000 900. rights
which the other party to the convention
does not possess and cannot convey.
What strikes me as equally ruthless

in the treaty for the sovereignty OF Sal
vador and Honduras in contra citing witt

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are mild but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver is almost instantaneous. They
are the result of DIR. Edwards deter
mination not to treat liver and bowel
complaints with calomel. His efforts
to Danish it brought out these little
olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or Gallo

and quickly correct it. Why cure the
liver at the expense of the teethl
Calome1 sometimes plays havoc with
