The Long Road

Lies road is long and dreary,
howe'er we try to grin; and man
grows faint and weary before
he sees the inn-the inn where
ends his questing, and where his
endless resting and dreamless
sleep begin. All cheerily he
gambols through youths bright
golden day; but soon he finds
that brambles beset the stony
way; and though he sings and
, whistles his feet are full of this
ties, and they are there to stay.
1t seems to me a wonder that
mortals are SO brave; while they
are beaten under they sing a
gladstone stave; through trou-
bles they go prancing, on sor-
rows lid they're dancing, they
fox-trot to the grave. Alone,
man may be gloomy and full of
fantods dire, when in his rocker
roomy, before the evening fire /;
but when he meets his fellows
he shakes the blues and yellows,
and paws gladstone Tyre. The
road is long and hilly, beset with
gin and snare; and often life
seems silly, but still we pilgrims
fare with jest and laugh and
sally to that inn in the valley,
and our long slumbers there.
Though tired of all endeavor,
we won't admit we're sore; we'd
whistle on forever, and then for
evermore; our own distress
we're hooking when we are
roundly knocking upon the tav-
ern door. WALT MASON.

TRANSATLANTIC PLANE
MAY COME TO MUSEUM
Suggestion That the NC-4 Be Pre-.
served Permanently in His
toric Collection.

Naval seaplane NC-4, which success
fully crossed the Atlantic ocean in two
jumps under command of Lieut.. Com
mander A. c. Read of the Navy. will be
permanently preserved in the National
Museum in this city if Secretary Daniels
approves the suggestion made to him by
+. H. Russell, president of the Manufac-
turers' Aircraft Association. The Ma
tional Museum already has the nucleus
of an important collection Of historic air.
planes, including the original Langley
and Wright machines, a JN-4. De
Haviland 4 with liberty motor, d Caul-
dron and a Veison.
In suggesting that the NC-4 be added
to the museums collection Mr. Russell
says it is desirable that the flying boat
type of today, which first carried the
American flag across the Atlantic, be
treasured 'as the forerunners of the
liners certain to appear" 1.-The same
reasons/ which impelled the preserva-
ton Of the Wright brothers biplane,"
he adds, argue for the placing of the
NC-4 in the museum. In addition there
are others, chief of which is the unds-
puted fact that the United States
emerged from the war the leader in ma
rine aviation and proved this fact by the
transatlantic flight. The Navy Depart
ment took advantage of American initia-
tive in flying boat design and brought
several models into successful produc-
ton. The result was that Great Britain
copied our designs and even helped to
build our type of machines"

CHILDREN SEEK PERMITS
TO WORK IN VACATION

The child labor office in the Frank
lin School is being swamped this
month with boys and girls in quest of
permits to work during the vacation
period. A large percentage Of the ap-
plicants are seeking permits to work
as messengers in the government de-
partments.
Miss Eleanor Keene, in charge of
the permit office, said today that al
though it does not appear that there
will be as many children go to work
this summer as did last vacation pc
riod, indications are that the numIer
will still be far greater than under
normal conditions in Washington.
The demand for children as mes
ments last year was unusually heavy
on account of war work." said Miss
Keene. II do not believe we will
have as many boys and girls at work
this summer as last. but the number
will be more than ordinarily"
1922 Permits Last Fiscal Year.
During the fiscal year ended June
80. last year, 1.S22 work permits were
issued as follows: White boys. 1885;
colored boys. 200; white girls. $50;
colored girls, T.
Incomplete reports for the fiscal
year ending this month indicate that
there will be drop of about four or
FIVE hundred in the total number of
work permits from the total of last
year.
Up to June 1. this fiscal year. APP
proximately 697 white boys had OBJ
tanned permits; 800 white girls. So
colored boys and 80 colored girls
The figures for this month. however
will add a considerable number to
these totals, as this is the month in
which the bulk of the summer per-
mits are asked for.

HOUSING Agency
! TO QUIT June 50
D. C. Division Which Found
i Homes for War Workers
Soon to Dissolve.

The Washington division of the
United States Housing Corporation,
the agency which found rooms for
here during the war, will go out of
existence June 80.
Arrangements are being made. 1T
was learned today, to have some local
organization take over the record OF
rooms available for the accommoda-
tion of government workers who may
Yet come to Washington or who are
already here and have to move from
their present rooms
The closing of this division marks
the passing of an agency That prop
ably did more than any other to take
care of the thousands of people the
government called to the District TO
DO its war work.
Origin of the Service.
Back in the summer of 1917, when
the influx began, this room registra-
ton service was born in the office OF
the Chamber of Commerce with three
or four small file cases.
Its existence hardly became known
before the demand upon 1t for rooms
made it impossible for the chamber TO
meet the requirements The Dlstrlct
COUNCIL OIL uSleHSC thCh tOcN -
and with a small appropriation from
the Presidents emergency war Iuno
registration office was opened at
1923 New York avenue.
Edwin S. Hege was placed IN
charge of it, and during the hrst
half of 1918, while the housing cor
poration was selecting a site, pre-
pairing plans and buildings the gov
eminent dormitorieS, this registration
office found accommodations for near
~ all of the war workers who were
pouring into the city.
Branch of q. S. Corporation.
Toward the end of last year the
registration Office was made branch
of the United States Housing Corpor-
alton and named the Washington dl-
vision. Following this change, MI
Hege's Office handled the renting TO
government employees of the approx
mately 100 vacant houses which the
government Communicated.
For several months after the ar
mistice the division continued to
place government workers but in the
past few months the demand for
rooms has decreased steadily, and 1t
is felt that some private local or
ganization will be able to carry on
the room bureau from now on.
Throughout its existence the regis
tration service secured a majority of
its rooms by public appeal to the
patriotism of Washington, families
and by occasional house toulouse
canvasses.

by any action by the parliament, the
constitution of Japan not requiring
the assent of the legislative body.
Previous advices had shown that
the Treaty had been examined, by
the privy council and that at meet
ing on Monday last it was approved
by the council without reservation
and submitted to the emperor.
Japan's favorable action on the
Treaty leaves the pact unratitied by
only one of the five great powers
signatory to the Versailles conVen-
tion-the United States, 1t had pre-
viously been ratified by the parlia-
ments of Great Britain and France,
which later completed all the pro-
cesses of ratification. Italy ratified
the Treaty by royal decree. which,
it has been held, must have the ap-
proval of parliament. 1t seems to
have been conceded. however, that
the royal confirmation of the docu-
ment was sufficient to bind Italy in
her relations with the other powers.
This point, however, loses something
in international importance by rea-
son of Japan's ratification. The
terms of the Treaty stipulate that

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You, Drink Lots of
Water

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with
a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and :rritate the entire urinary tract.
Keen your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean, by flushing
them with a mild. harmless salts
which removes the bodys urinous
waste and stimulates them to their
normal activity. The function of
the kidneys is to filter the blood. In
t24 hours they strain from it 500
grains of acid and waste, so we can
readily understand the vital impor-
tance of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts: take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning for a few DAYS and your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lith-
ia. and has been used for generations
to clear and stimulate clogged kid
ineys: also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer is a source of
Irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent l.thia- water drink which every-
one should take now ard then to

Try this. also keep up the water
drinking. and no doubt you will won

Seventy Enrolled in
New Evening Classes

Seventy students have been enrolled
in the Technical High School shop
courses. The registration already
has been particularly encouraging
1t will be continued all of next week
The courses offered there for reg
istration were shop engineering,
steam engineering and applied cleo
tricity. OF these courses the greatest
amount of matriculation was in the
course of shop engineering There
were numerous inquiries about ap-
piled electricity, but not enough to
warrant the course being started. 1t
is hoped to secure enough additional
students, however, to start these
classes.
Glasses are to be held Monday and
Thursday evening in Technical High
School. They are to be under the di-
rection of Professor c. Z. Zorger, su-
pervisor of special activities, with

PEACE MEETING
MAY END SOON
Probably Will Close Without
Reaching Agreement on
Hungarian Treaty


Paris, Oct, S1.-The end of No
vember may see the close of the
Paris Peace Conference, which has
negotiated the Peace Treaties with
Germany and Austria and has carried
the negotiations with Bulgaria well
/ towards completion.
|. Unless the Conference can speed
lily reach an agreement with Ru-
mania and compel it to discontinue
its interference in Hungarian affairs
there seems little chance that Peace
Treaty can be negotiated with Hun
gary at present, in which case the
Conference will probably close with
out making that Treaty.
The Adriatic question will not
necessarily prolong the life of the
Conference and there is no dispo-
sition among many of the Peace
Delegates to drag out the Conference
much longer for the discussion of
the European political questions in
volved in the Rumanian and Italian
difficulties.
Decem ber l is now looked upon
as the latest probable date for the
adjournment of the Conference
Rumania is sending a special dele
gate to Paris TO discuss its differ
ences with the Conferences, and q
definite settlement of the Rumanian
tangle or the abandonment of the
effort at disentanglement is expected
very shortly.
Indications are that the Bulgarian
Treaty will be signed within a week
or ten days, Then the discussions
Will begin with Rumania in the At
tempt to settle the question arising
from its seizure of Hungarian
property and its object to guarantee
ing the rights of minorities, which
was the cause of it's refusal to sign

the ratification by three of the prin-
cipal powers puts 1T into effect as to
those powers and Germany. Japan's
ratification in addition to the definite
approval of the document by Great
Britain and France, furnishes the
required number of agreeing powers
without regard to the action of
Italy.
The only formality remaining is
the issuance by the French govern
ment of a process-verbal announcing
the ratifications made and dechrfnS
the Treaty in effect. The European
powers that have ratified have de-
posted copies of the ratified docu-
ment in Paris. Japan will not be
required to take this action, the
Treaty providing that powers of
which the seat of government is out

to inform the French government
through their diplomatic represen-
tatives in Paris that their ratifica
ton has been given, the instrument
of ratification to be deposited as soon

SUNDAY SERMONS
ON RED CROSS
Clergymen of Various Bor.
ough Churches to Show
Value of the Work

The Red Cross Peace Program
Will be the theme of sermons in the
borough churches on Sunday eve
ming. Practically all of the clergy
men have offered to devote the Sun
day evening service to that theme
The sermons come as the result oi
the questions asked by so many III
reference to the peace program OF
the American Red Cross. The
pastors hope to show that there is
work for the Red Cross organization
and plenty OF it, even though the
war Is practically over.
Ihe peace program of the Red
cross viii readily lend itself as
material for a sermon, the work be-
ing chiefly humanitarian, in which
work the churches have always been
interested, it being part of the
christian Church's program.
Ihe Hon. Franklin K. Lane, secre-
tary of the interior, has put the
whole matter well when he gave the
following reasons for joining the
ked Cross at the present time. Join
the Red Cross:
For the babies of America who
need care.
For the mothers who do not
know how to care for themselves or
their babies.
For the soldier boys in hospitals
VINO are legless. armless. or sight
less-for the boys who are slowly
coming back from shell shock. and
those who are fighting death hour
by hour.
Join the Red Cross.
From gratitude because your
boy came back.
From remembrance of one who
would have you give.
From love of mankind which the
Red Cross serves.
F'Out of pride in the work done nv
this American institution"
No goal has been set by the Stec;-
ton chapter as to the number of
members it hopes TO secure II
wants just as many as possible. The
membership fee is one dollar, one
half OF which remains with the local
chapter for use in Steelton and
vicinity.
