Observations

Ambassador Delaney may have told Congressman Fuller that
the Japs were never sincerely proally, but when a diplomat tells the
truth in a private conversation, a congressman should know better
than TO tell it on him.
Wilson's only objection to the preliminary peace plan was that it
ligeOn-holed his everlasting peace plan.
Postponing peace will cost France a few more million francs, but
may eventually save her a few more million sons.

English view, the French view, and the Wilson view.

One thing we can't understand is
how a Congressman never acts like he
was responsible for panics and floods
the way he acts like he is responsible
for the big crop and prosperity.
We know a man who writes articles

himself.

BACKBONE

Let glad words be joyously spoken. let bonnets be thrown In
the air; the backbone of winter is broken. it's fractured 10 none can
senty come; old winters a frost and a fzzle. the limit of all that is
bum. I see Elm the heavens a token that spring will be here with the
goods; the backbone of winter Is broken, the brdlets will sing In
the woods Farewell to the coughing and sneezing, to wintertime
ailments all know, to nights that IRE age-long and freezing, to winds
that are pastered with snow. 1 feared that N overcoat oaken would
hold me ere winter a done; the backbone of winter is broken,
make way for the soothing old sun! Make way for the roses and
lilies make way for the grass and the dew; the winter has given us
wilies, but spring makes us better than new. From Hannibal clear
to Hoboken let's lift up a rapturous song; the backbone of winter
is broken, the backbone that hung O SO long.

IF YOUR CHILD
 IS LEfT-HANDED
 DON'T CHANCE IT
Stammering Results From Transferring Use of
 Hands.

Los Angeles, Cal, July Eff forts to change left-handed child into right handed child often result in stammering' child.
 This statement was made by Dr. international authority on "handed- ness" and dean-elect of the school of education of the University of South ern Caliofrnia.
 "If your child is eft-handed," said Dr. Jones don't try to make 1t right handed. It was born with a major arm and stammering may result.
 "Ninety-six percent of the race are born right-handed and the re- maining four percent left-handed. "One-third of all left-to-right transfers are stammerers.
 "One sixth of all right-to to-left transfers are stammerers.
 "Less than one percent of pure handed individuals are stammerers. "The fundamental fact of handed ness, so far as we can yet unravel 1t, is the fact of congenital cerebral asymmetry. The present-day know ledge of brain psychology is very in complete, but a speculative treat ment of our problem in terms of the best theory that physiological psy- chology has to offer, will at least be better than no attempt at eXplana- ton.
 "We may take as our startling point the prevailing physiological theory that there are four highly specialized cortical centers involved in the speech of the normal adult; namely, two sensory-the auditory and the visual-and two motor-the vocal and the writing (graphic word) centers; that all four of these cen ters are normally located in one (hence the superior) hemisphere of the brain; namely the left hemis- phere in the born right handed indi- vidual, and the right hemisphere in the born left-handed person, and that though the muscles of the vocal organs are amatomically connected with each hemisphere, they are func- tionally connected with only one; and insofar as the hand is an organ of speech, at least, it shared the same asymmetry.
 When we come to speculate on the fact that stammering commonly begins before the age of eight years, we may assume that since this is the period when the language centers are being developed it is also the time when the functional unity of these centers is the least stable. The trans fers are the probable stammerers, probably for the reason that the 1,&, likely to be disturbed.
 According to Dr. Jones nagging, exasperating, threatening, and-tying mitten-wearing and other "home- made devices" to stop left-handed- ness in children superinduce morbid sensitivity and nervous instability.

Hunger Prevents Children from
 Going to School

Correspondence of Associated Press )
 Prague, Czecho- -Slovakia, June 12. -One-third of the school children in Czecho- Slovakia are absent from school every day on account of hun ger according to Red Cross investlga- tors reports. Many of the children in the schools were found so weak from lack of nourlshment tbat they could not hold their heads erect. Frequently children had to be car ried home because they had not the strength to walk.
 Miss Edith Hoyt of Washington, D. C., and Mrs. Ethel D. Earle of New York City, two of the trained social workers sent by the Red Cross into IF towns in the Erzebirge dis trict, reported that in this section 90 per cent of the children were actually starving. To relieve. this situation, arrangements have been made for the establishment of public kitchens throughout the country. The Amer jeans are supervising their operation and the distribution of food supplies to them.
 "The children were undersiZed and backward" writes Miss Hoyt, both physically and mentally. They show ed signs of tuberculosis, rickets and anemia. We went through school room after school-room asking, "how many have had no beakfast this morning?' In class of 48, 19 little hands went up. This was typical of the situation throughout the district

 President Wilson in telegram to- day congratulated the women on the proposer organization and expressed repgret at his inability to be here to address them.
 Miss H. Ann Quinby, an attorney, of Columbus, Ohio, in an address, urged the women to work for the en- actment of legislation of particular interest to women and especially for restoration of the whipping post for wife beaters.
 "We must work to have laws passed that will make the would-be cave men falter before they attempt their orgies" she asserted.

GREAT BRITAIN TO WITHDRAW ENVOY
 FROM VATICAN?

London, July 16.-The British gov ernment is considering the question of withdrawing it's envoy from the Vatican, Cecil E. Harmswortn. acting secretary of state for foreign affairs, declared in the house of commons, to- day.
 MT. Harmsworth added that he had no confirmation of the state ment made by Robert J. Lynn, union ist member, who had questioned the government that owing "to the hostil- ity of the Vatican to the allies dur ing the war, the continued presence of the envoy was causing considerable resentment among many who had lost relatives in the war"
 In November 1914, it became known that Great Britain, because of the war situation had assumed new position in it's relations toward the Vatican and would appoint minis ter On special mission to the pope. Sir Henry Howard, former minister to Holland, went to Rome in December 1914. and remained there until August, 1916, when he was succeeded hy Count J. F. c. DeSalis.
 Ihe count has been at the Vatican since then as ambassador extraordin- ary and minister plenipotentiary on a spcclal mission, the status of which is different from that of per manert legation.
