ST. JOHN 3 TITUS
HOSTS TO EMPLOYEES
FIFTY MEMBERS OF THE FORD
AGENCY STAFF ENJOY BAN
QUIET SUNDAY.

The spirit of cooperation that ex-
lists in the, st. John & Titus organiza-
ton was strikfngly displayed last
Sunday afternoon when more than
80 employees of the company in its
garages in Olympia, Tenino and Cen
tralia, gathered around a banquet
table at the Mitchell hotel, and
joined in having a good time, as the
company's guests.
l.. E. Titus, junior member of the
firm, acted as POSTMASTER, following
the dinner, and various employees re-
sponded with well put remarks re-
garding their work, prospects for the
company and their aspirations. a re-
markable spirit of friendliness and
good will between employer and en-
ploye being evidenced.
In starting the discussion, Mr..
Titus made clear that every employee
has his chance to make good and
grow up with the organization
and that all should be proud that
they are connected with an institu-
ton handling the popular Ford car,
which he said, with everybody's ap-
proval, is the classiest little car on
earth.
Lieutenant Frank Van Glider and
Corporal Parks, former employees of
the company, who entered the service
and have just returned, were the
guests of honor and gave very inter-
esting talks on their experiences and
army life in general. Lieutenant
Van Glider is now sales manager of
the Olympia garage.
j. d. Mansfield, manager of the
local garage and VIM. Davies, Ten
inc manager, spoke enthusiastically
of the outlook for the year, the for
mer welcoming the diners to the city.
He reviewed the growth of the local
garage and told about the new hotel
project. Mr.. Titus sprang the an
nouncement that he will act hereafter
as general overseer of the concern
instead of giving direct attention to
the Centralia garage, which will be
managed by Charles Armentrout.
A. c. st. John, senior member of
thC opOhC highly VI tuC GILL
cheney Of the company's large staff
and Nathan Udell, general manager of
the Ford Motor company's Northwest
branch at Seattle, told the banquet
GERS that the company's production
soon would reach the point where
every salesman could get out and
rustic" Mr.. Udell brought over
from. Seattle one of the latest model
sedans, which was exhibited after the
dinner.
After every department had been
given an opportunity to express
itself as to the years outlook, each
incidentally springing few jokes on
the other, the crowd drove down to
Priest Point park, where they had
their pictures taken and spent a jolly
time together.

the most acute and irritating char
acter.
We must bear in mind that the con-
ference was delayed by the time
needed to gather together represen-
tatiyes from fourteen nations from all
over the world who are to frame the
treaty. Special commissions had to
be formed to get at the facts.
Hearings had to be held for claim
ants. The Irish elections kept Lloyd
George at home, and during that time
made 1t impossible for him to join
in those confidential interviews with
other leaders and premiers so neces-
sary in smoothing out difficulties and
reaching understandings.
While the making of the terms has
been in the absence of the defeated
powers. the interests of the conferees
themselves are often acutely adverse.
Then, too, the disinterested attitude
of the United States leads its repre-
sentatives to consider more carefully
than those of the conferees seeking
purely selfish objects, the wisdom of
great severity may defeat its own
purpose.
The treaty is being negotiated by
representatives of popular constitu.
ents and not by kings. Explanation
is easier to one man than to a peo-
pie. Room has to be given for what
is called in this country "buncombe"
A show of fight must be made on
hopeless issues for home consump-
ton. Open" diplomacy cannot
move SO swiftly as the old-fashioned
kind.
Then there is more substantial
reason for time in the deliberations.
The negotiators must discuss and
argue all the conflicting issues over
and over again until one has deeply
impressed on him the real point of
view of every other. This often re-
Quires heated criticism and even re.
elimination, apparently most discour-
aging to prospect of agreement, and
necessary to clear the air. Such talk
lis not waste of time. 1t is the usual
and the only way to reach a compro.
mise.
The armistice in our Spanish War
was signed on the 18th of August,
1898, and the treaty of Paris was
not signed till December -, a period
of four months. This was for a war
which has only begun in the previ-
Gus April. This was for peace
which involved the settlement of
rather simple issues between only
two nations.
The period between the armistice
and the treaty of peace in the Fran
co-Prussian War was about the same
length and there the issues were sim
pie and limited to two countries.
The congress of Vienna met to ar
range the map of Europe after the
Napoleonic wars, took year for it's
deliberations, and the conferees had
only kings and emperors to satisfy
We see, therefore, that the dele
gates now at Paris have not been I'M
reasonably slow in their work, con-
sidering the great interests they have
to settle and agree upon.
OF course, the advantage of speed
is manifest-the president is reported
to have pressed this upon his COL
leagues. Definite treaty rights and a
compact partnership of nations to de-
clare and protect them and to deal
with threatening Bolshevism and
quarreling countries in the sphere of
the late war are badly needed.
If the conference can finish its la
bors by the middle of May or the
first of June, however, we should
congratulate ourselves.

''No Smoking'' Signs in
Y. NJ. G. 4. Replaced by
Tobacco Habit Data
Does smoking shorten life?

Does 1T impair efficiency?
These are two of the main questions
dealt with in Y. NJ. C. A. posters just
issued to take the place of the old
familiar arbitrary ono Smoking signs
in "Y" buildings. The results of va
rious experiments conducted by Dr.
George J. Fisher and Elmer Berry. of
the physical department of the Y. NJ.
c. A. International War Work Council.
aided by number of Yale men, are
given.
The first question is answered infer
ontially. The experiments as detailed
in the physical Effects of Smoking''
showed that smoking increased the
normal heart by eleven pulsations a
minute, and DR.. Fisher coments:
AN increased heart rate Of only five
beats q minute means that mans
heart does approximately $4,000 foot
pounds more work day. In fifty
years this means 272,471,00O foot
pounds of unnecessary work Does that
near, other things being equal, five
years less of life 90
The second question was answered
afflrmatively. In the course of the ex-
periments, which continued four
months, smokers and non-smokers were
used. and one Of the most remarkable
results was that smokers were shown
to be almost as much affected by to-
hacco reactions as the non-smokers
Both tho smokers and non-smok ers, Dr.
