REMOVE CAUSES OF WAR
BY Ex.PREsIDENT VIM. n. TAFT.

BY Ex-PREsIDENT VIM. n. TAFT.
Since the prime object of the League
of Nations Is to preserve peace-and
to reap the benefits of peace-let us
see how the League will operate to ac-
complish that purpose.
In the first place, 1t will seek to
remove the main causes of war. BY
the formation Of an international
court it will create a means for the
peaceful settlement of disputes be-
tween nations Then it will seek TO
compel the nations to make use OF
this court. This is nothing more nor
less than an application of the rules
and customs governing private indi-
yiduals in civilized communities to the
relations between nations
Secondly, the League will seek to
remove a great temptation TO war by
the general agreement to reduce the
size of armies and navies. This Will
halt the race for military and naval
supremacy which was largely respon-
sble for the war just ended. The
amount of armament any nation may
maintain will be strictly defined. Thus
it will be impossible for one country
to overwhelm its neighbor by uneX-
pected attack, in the way that Ger
many crushed Belgium and would
have crushed France had not the other
democratic nations gone to her aid.
The idea Is that each country may
keep an army and navy large enough
to enable it to fulfil its responsible
ties as a member of the League, but
no larger The United States, for ex-
ample, probably would be expected TO
keep check on Mexico and the state
of constant turmoil In that country
would be taken into consideration In
deciding how large an army we should
| need. ..l... Il. .. l.-r .p-t. !
The third important safeguard which
the League will set up is n system
! Of penalties. This will make an out
law of any nation or group of nations
I which goes to war in violation of the
rules of the League The outlawed ma
! ton will be boycotted by all the other
| members of the League and will find
| itself cut off from both business and
| social communication with the rest OF
the world.

RainhoW,s Formation.

/. While it is true that the beautiful
.colors displayed by the rainbow are
due to the passage of light through
raindrops, the popular conception that
the drops are directly in line between
the sun and the bow is incorrect ac7

the raindrop and is refracted and re-
Elected back to form the bow In this
passage through the drop the differ
ent colors are produced which, blend

URGES CARE NOT
 TO SPOIL BOYS
By Associated Press

Philadelphia, February 1.-"Don't spoil the boys when they come back" was the plea of Russell c. Lowell of the federal board for vocational education, when he spoke here recently
 Mir Lowell said he thought that some of those who had been maimed in the war were spoiled for the future by being feted too much and adored as heroes when they reached their home towns. He cited several cases where young men had practically refused to undertake to learn new trades after being unftted by their wounds for continuing at their old trades. because, they. said, they did not need to work now.
 After a time, Mir. Lowell declared, a man tires or sucn ldleness and false honor and he either becomes mentally sick and Respondent or gets quite crooked in his methods and begins preying upon people instead of trying to earn living.
 Mr. Lowell stated that one of the chief difficulties the federal educational sys- tenn is encounterng Is that of getting ahold of the maimed men when they hayc returned to Sthis country They filter

cry, also the various materials TOT building roads and streets. Models oi roads from the, road department at Washington. also from a number nf states will be on exhibit. This feature of the convention will be worth travel ing thousands of miles to attend.
 Under the auspices, and by invita- tion of the United States Good Roads lied good roads organizations will meet week in Mineral Wells.
 The promotion and management Of the United States Good Roads associa- ton, also the United States Good Roads exhibit. Is in charge of MT. J. A. Rountree, who is secretary of the former and general manager of the ex hibit. He is also secretary of the Bankhead National Highway associa- tion. which also meets in Mineral Wells on April Is and 19. Mir. Roun- tree has had much experience as an executive secretary and manager. It goes without saying that these con. ventions will be wonderful successes. The people of Texas are enthusiastic over good roads week in Mineral Wells. These conventions meet in Texas by invitation of Gov. w ?. Hobby, the various chambers of com merce. and good roads organizations of the principal cities of Texas. There is no doubt but what these conventions will attract attention throughout the nation and will be productive of great good for the cause of good roads and good streets in the United States.

Rv Assocjated press

Torquay, Eng, January 2.-This sea- coast town, so we'll known to American visitors, and which has hitherto been known as "Queen of Western Watering Places" will have to be temporarily re- named Honeymoon Town" It is here that the authorities have decided New Zealand troops shall assemble with their British brides before returning overseas. The daily arrival of New Zealanders and their wives expected to reach a thousand.
 The girls of Torquay are not viewing this invasion altogether favorably though many have no reason to complain as they have already selected husbands from the 1900 New Zealand troops who have passed through the place during the war.

USE AIRPLANES TO
 REACH OIL, FIELD
By Associated Press

Dallas, Texas February 1.-FShancial success or failure in the new Texas oil fields so often depends upon being first to reach certain point that the airplane may become a common means of loco- motion among oil men, according to big dealers. The airplane was used recently by officers of two oil companies to hurry from Ranger to a new found field.
 Officers at Barron field, the government flying field near here. say 1t will be only short time before airplanes are in general commercial use in the oil fields. because of their speed and the adaptability of the country for flying purposes.
 The Barron field authorities estimate that if costs the government $50 an hour to keep plane in the air, but that the oil men could operate machine for $W an hour. Good pilots could be selected at not prohibitive salaries from among the hundreds graduated by the war de- pertinent in che last year.

terday. The motor of a hydro plane
which was piloted by Ensign w. S.
Gooch, who is understood to have been
stationed at the local station some
time ago. fell out of the machine
while he was endeavoring to complete
a loop.
According to Ensign Gooch's state
ment he was flying at an altitude of
four thousand feet when he decided to
stunt and nosed the machine down to
greater speed to go into the loop. Just
as he had showed the rudder of the
machine hard over he heard a loud
cracking followed by falling out of
the motor. He showed the controls
forward but the machine tail spinned
to the surface of the bay He had just
enough stability. however, to land
correctly, and was not hurt in the
least.
