ABOUT sEI,F-DETERMINA-
TON

4 xreat deal Of nonsense Is being writ
tep by theorists and is probably being
accepted by other theorists in regard TO
tSe self determination OF small people.
Tho self determination Of peoples Is not
possible in all cases. and in many cases
It ought not to be possible Sixty years
ago, a very considerable portion Of tho
American republic undertook to set up
q government for itself. Tho people who
tried to form the American Confederacy
Here far superior in experience and IN
teHisence to most OF tho people OF Cen
ttAl Europe and the Balkan States who
are now striking for self determination.
But tho American people in their Wis
dom decided that the American Confed-
eracy could not exist: and they went
through four years Of fierce warfare.
sacrificed the lives OF thousands OF
brave men and gave up billions OF
money in order to wipe out the Confcd-
eracy Today the wisdom OF that
achievement Is. acclaimed. by over 1oo.-
100000 people The self determination
offCentra Europe nay only mean the
temporary triumph OF hand full OF
misguided men \ people who through
centuries have refused to be absorbed
into the political organization Of another
stationary we'll claim for themselves the
right Of self government. But not all
these states Of Central Europe can be
given the right of self government. We
cannot assume the responsibility for
creating a large number of independent
states each with conflicting ambitions
and conflicting racial aspirations. and
all seeking to expand themselves up at
the expense Of their neighbors. Tho
middle Europe problem Is a very grave
one and il we procesd with the thought
that SELF discrimination must be given
to all Of those communities. the result
is bound to be disastrous failure

AMERICA AT THE PEACE

American eonferees at the peace confer
ence would encounter hostilities from
the allies and their proposals. however.
just, and however worthy of consider
alton, would be received with distrust.
From many casual observers. Mr.. Kent's
statement has been discreditcd. Lafay-
cite Young. the distinguished editor Of
the Des Noines Capital, frds nothing of
the atmosphere Of which Mr.. Kent COM
plains. Many others returning from Eu-
rope declare that his statements are
without foundation. It would be hard
to believe that our allies could find any
just cause for looking upon America
with suspicion and distrust. Our course
has been frank and above board. We
may DO actuated by ideals. which may
be distrusted by our allies. but our pur-
poses certainly have nothing Of selfish
ness in them.

due Difference. but may even be accorded
a weight out OF proportion to our own
desires

STEP IN FOOD CONSERVATION
Minnesota Physician Has Discovered
Method Of condensing Buttermiik
and Retaining Nutritive Value.

In a recent interview with DR.. VIII
liam Grelck of st. Paul, Mimi, the
fact was brought out that immense
quantities Of buttermilk have been
wasted. Doctor Grelck is a member
of the American Chemical society and
for years has devoted much study to
the milk problem. AS a result of his
efforts a method has been discovered
for condensing buttermilk into a semi
solid smooth substance of the consist
ency of ice cream.
All the nutritive value of the but
termilk is conserved In this product,
and 1t Is especially suitable for use in
bread making. From eight to ten
pounds of this material when added to
a barrel of -four produce a loaf Of
greater food value. The milk protein
helps to make up the deficiency In our
present-day -four substitutes. The
vitamines Of the butterfat help to de-
fine the structure of the bread, besides
producing an agreeable milk flavor +;
and the sugar Of milk, aside from be-
ing Of great food value, when COM
bined with the dextrin In -four makes
q fine brown crust at a comparatively
low baking temperature. 1t saves
fuel and prevents unnecessary loss Of
moisture.

SEEMS GOOD BUSINESS IDEA
Proposed Commercial Register for Hol-
land Has Powerful Support In
Industrial Circles.

A law 10 establish a commercial reg
lister in Holland has been introduced In
the states general. according to a dis
patch from z. L. Edwards, CONNER
cial attache of The Hague. Ii is re
ported to have the support of mem
bers of the government, Of high legal
critics and Of important business In
terests generally. This is said to be
the elimination Of a movement started
20 years ago for the passage of such a
law.
One of the most important features
of the proposed law is that II forbids
the use of precisely the same name
by more than one concern within
given districts, It also provides that
In each given district there shall be
maintained a public register In which
would be given the NAME, z and
domicile of each member of a firm. as
well as the extent to which each n
might be held legally liable for its
obligations. 1t also would make Illegal
the use Of a deceptive title. including
such words, for instance. as broth
ers," "and company" or "and sons"
where the owner is only n person.
From the proposed commercial reg
lister a stranger would be able TO as
certain the name and residence Of
holders of not fully paid up shares.
and the full particulars as to the ma
tionality. residence. ETC., Of managers,
directors and other officers of corpor-
atoms and associations. There would
also be particulars as to former bank
ruptcies of persons or concerns in
question. The present law already pro-
vides for publication of many of these
details. but they are only to be found
in such scattered places that in prac-
tice they are not available to the gen.
eral public.

ERECT A SHAFT 10
THE BOYS MEMORY

Among the first bills to be intro
duced in the coming legislature should
be one making an appropriation for
the erection OF a shaft on the state
capitol grounds dedicated to the mem
DRY of those Nevada boys who laid
down their lives in the war just closed,
and on the shaft should be engraved
their names, with date of death, etc.
There should be no distinction made
of those who persisted in battle, in hos
pitfalls, on the sea or in the training
camps. They all gave up their lives
at their country's call. To perpetuate
their memory by this means is a trib-
ute they are full worthy of and in a
measure will indicate that the people
of Nevada remember and appreciate
their valor.-Carson Appeal.

Wrist Score pada

A convenient little score pad for the
golfer is attached to a leather strap.
which may be fastened around the
wrist.
The score pad Is worn. Of course, on
the left wrist and the golfer may jot
down memoranda of his score as easily
as social memos are scrawled on
starched cufs-or used 20 be when
starched cuffs were In fashion.
The usefulness of the wrist has been
sadly neglected In other years. when
the bracelet and occasionally the fan
were the only things 1t was expected TO
carry. Wrist watches and golf scores
now fall to Its share as part of the
burden of life's impediments. and very
efficiently II meets It's new obligations.
