~DOOR IS CL0SED~ LODGE

No better illustration OF the at
titudc OF Democratic and Repub-
lican leaders on the peace treaty
may be cited than the dialogue
between Senator Swanson of Nir-
ginia, and Senator Lodge Of Mas
sachusctts, in the closing hours
Of the Senate fight.
When it became apparent that
the treaty was in real danger,
Senator Swanson went over to
Senator Lodge and said:
For Gods sake, Senator, can
not something be done
Senator Lodge according to
the Associated Press, replied
slowly and incisivcly

Four hundred thousand less deaths

this country two billion dollars each

One man in every three called by TIL
Army was found TO he physically unfit
These figures were given ont today
by Surgeon General Rupert Blue, OF
the United States Public Health Serv-
ice. in urging a plan for nationwide
conservation OF health and calling on
all health agencies to cooperate in q
carefully prepared program.
Surgeon Blue has sen; a letter to
State and City Health Officers. TO the

American Public Health Association.

National tuberculosis Association. the
International Health Commission, the
National Safety Council, the American
Child Hygiene Association, and other
health agencies. suggesting a confer
ence in Washington to consider a
health program prepared by the Pub
lie Health Service.
1t is emphasized that the success Of
The plan will be determined by its di-
rect applicability to the conditions in

health officers must cooperate most
closely in order to direct the campaign

regardless OF other elements.
Farm papers seem to see only the
interests OF the farmers. Trade
journals seem to consider solely
the welfare OF one trade.
Everyone must remember that
the community at large has its
interest, far greater than that OF
any single class Any proposition
to appeal to the community at
large must be fair to all elements.
a great manyof the propositions
put forward by these various
clements seem very unfair. The
dispassionatc reader is impressed
by their narrowness. their inabili-
y to see more than one point OF
view.
There IS altogether too much
class dictation. At some periods
the capitalists appear the worst
dictators and disposed to crush
the elements Of manual labor into
the dust with heartless selfish
ness. At other times labor APP
pears the most ruthless, and or
lganlzed groups threaten the com
immunity with paralysis Of industry
and starvation unless their de
mands are acceded to. At other
times both these two elements
get together and by their power

eral public.
The prevalence in the world OF
narrowness and selhshness &C

its ends, any element must give
the general public an impression
OF reasonableness and considera-

who can't attain this point of

leadership. He does his cause
more harm than good.

CHIEF OF TREATY
KILLERS

In the parliamentary maze that
temporarily, at least, destroyed
the treaty OF peace with Germany
in the Senate Of the United States
one incident stands out as con
vincing proof that Senators
Lodge of Massachusetts, and La
Toilette OF Wisconsin were the
chief assassins OF this document
'of humanity.
When it appeared to all that
efforts to bring about a comprom-
isc had failed, Senator Pomcrcnc
OF Ohio. made final attempt TO
save the instrument that promis-
led SO much to the future tran
guilty OF the world. Senator
Pcmcrcne's proposal was simple
and reasonable He said
Il move that the treaty, the
resolution OF ratification. and the
reservations heretofore presented
to the Senate be referred to a
COMMITTEE OF CONCILIA-
TION composed of six Senators
to be appointed by the President
OF the Senate. among whom shall
be the leader of the majority. the
Senator from Massachusetts Mr.
Lodge). who shall be chairman
of the committee. and the leader
- the minority the Senator from
Nebraska (Mr. l1itchcock), and
that said committee he instructed
to prepare and report to the Sen
ate such a resolution of ratii;ca-
ton and reservations as in their
Judgment will meet the approval
OF not less than two-thirds OF the
Senate"
Hardly had the Ohio Senator,
whose earnestness left no doubt
as TO the sincerity of his sugges-
ton. finished reading his motion
when Senator Lodge jumped to
his feet and raised point Of or
der. Consulting his book of Sen
ate rules. Vice President Mar
shall decided that the Pomerene
motion was in order. A wave OF
expectancy swept over the Sen
ate. For a moment it looked as
if an eleventh-hour settlement
might be reached, but this hope
was short lived

An Evil and Jts Cure.

Interest in Kansas City's efforts to
rid itself of the billboard nuisance
will be keen in every city in the cOun-
try where the citizens are awake to
the Importance of maintaining urban
and suburban districts in condition
of tidiness and beauty. The absurdity
OF spending great sums of money for
good highways and other public inn
provements, and then allowing them to
be heavily discounted by the presence
of glaring and unsightly signs and pic
lures, is too well understood and too
obvious to call for detailed argument.
1t appears that what is chiefly needed
in order to gain relief from the agrees
sive billboard, in any city in the
United States, is definite and rigorous
local action. st. Louis has met with
success in this direction, now Kansas
City is following in it's footsteps, and
many other centers might wisely fall
into line.-Christian Science Monitor.

BEAUTIFYING THAT BARE SPOT
Ferns Particularly Adapted for Growth
in Garden Spaces That Seem
So Uninviting.

There is perhaps no plant grown
which appeals to the refined taste Of
the gardener and lover of plant life
as the fern-with it's wonderful grace
of form and variety of color shading.
Few people realize what charming
effects can be obtained at very small
cost with the aid of our native wood
ferns. We admire them when they are
seen in their native cool and shaded
haunts, but we do not realize they can
easily be transplanted and will quickly
contribute to the beauty of our lawns
and gardens.
Ferns may be found in the woods
of almost every state in the Union.
Around every house. whether in city
or village, there are shady spots where
grass and flowers will not grow. We
look at these bare and uninviting
places and wish something could be
done to make them attractive. Take
a day off, go to the woods, and with
q trOwel dig up some ferns, secure as
many varieties as possible, plant them
in the prepared bed, the larger varie-
ties at the back, the more delicate in
front.
1t does not require so many for
start, as they multiply rapidly. Keep
them moist until thoroughly estab-
lished. Late in the fall cover with
leaves. In the spring do not remove
these leaves from the bed, as they
help to hold the moisture. Enrich the
soil and give the ferns more Of their
native conditions. Thus tine former
unsightly spots will have become
places of joy and beauty.-Thrift Mag
azine.
