Aesthetics and Health

THE connection between individual
health and beauty, though seldom rec
ognized in theory, is intimate in prae-
hce," says the New York Medical Jour-
pal. True, extravagant ideas Of what
Is beautiful have caused much nuisance
and harm In the way Of absurd and I'M
healthy fashions of dress, but Il is TO
the aesthetic instinct of people that we
owe most Of sanitary Improvement.
The removal Of filth, SO important to
public health, and cleanliness In gen.
eral, is due In large part to a dis
like for ugllness.
Medical science Is coming more and
more to the Idea of enforcing sanitary
measures by fostering public sense
Of aesthetics. The Journal concludes
with rare sense: "0ne Of the chief
means for the furthering Of public
health consists not so much in preach
Ing the need Of sanitary conditions as
N awakening the sense Of beauty"

none will cast up rampant, none will

WILSON INVADES
IDAHO, HOME OF
SENATOR B0RAH

ABOARD PRESIDENTS TRAIN IN
IDAHO, Sept. 12.-President Wilson
today invaded Idaho, the state repre-
sented in the senate by Mr.. Borah,
leading opponent of the peace treaty,
in an effort to convince the people
that the pact should be ratified. He
entered the panhandle Of Idaho for a
speech at Coeur d'Alene.
The president and his party planned
to leave the train at Rathdrum and
motor fourteen miles to Occur d'Alene,
returning to the train in time to reach
Spokane for a late afternoon speech
During the night Mr.. Wilson passed
into the Pacific time zone, three hours
behind Washington time.
Much warmer weather was run into
by the Presidents train late yesterday
and last night. Mr.. Wilson resumed
his black silk suit and silk cap that he
wore during the first hot spell of the
trip. Other members of the party ap-
peared in palm beaches and Panama
hats, which made them objects Of con-
siderable interest to the dusty noun
taineers who drove miles through the
hills to see the president.
Boy, Named Wilson,"
At one station a woman held up a
baby for the president to see. Mrs.
Wilson reached over and took it in
her arms. In a moment it burst into
very loud-voiced protests. "Is it a boy
or girl?" asked the first lady," while
endeavoring to calm it.
"It's a boy" suddenly spoke up the
proud father from the background,
and it's name is Wilson" This
brought cheer from the rear platform
crowd.
Saturday will be one Of Wilson's
busiest days. He speaks from Tacoma
in the morning, reviews the Pacific
fleet at Seattle in the late afternoon,
and makes a speech in Seattle at
night.
Talks with men and women in Mon.
tana indicated that many of the peo-
pie know little about the league of ma.
tions and in some cases the attitude
toward it appeared to have been
rather apathetic.

CONDEMNED BY

Bullitt Tells Senate Committee
Secretary Told Him Treaty
Would be Defeated if Un-
derstood.
LEAGUE WAS OPPOSED
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-William
c. Bullitt, Of Philadelphia, formerly at
tached to the American peace mission
testified before the senate foreign re-
lations committee today that Secre-
tary Lansing told him in Paris last
May that if the senate and the
American people knew what the
treaty meant. it would be defeated"
"Mr. Lansing told me the day I
resigned" the witness said, that he
was opposed to that part of the league
covenant relating to Armenia. He
said he considered the Shantung
award and the league of nations bad
that the league would be entirely use
less; that the nations had arranged
the league to suit themselves, and
that England and France got what
they wanted. After saying he believed
the senate would defeat the treaty If
it realized its meaning, Mr.. Lansing
expressed the opinion that Senator
Knox really would understand the
treaty and that Mr.. Lodges position
would become purely political"
Had "Single Track Mind"
The committee of senators burst in
to round of laughter and Bullitt said
he begged to be excused from reading
any more of the memorandum of his
conversation. 1t was no secret in
Paris, he declared, that Lansing.
White and Bliss objected vigorously
to numerous provisions of the treaty.
When Senator Lodge said he
thought the secretary's opinion on
Shantung was known. Bullitt added:
Il think Secretary Lansing was not
at all enthusiastic about the league
of nations"
Bullitt said the president made an
appointment with him to discuss the
Russian situation, but cancelled it.
Later Col. House explained to me, y
Bullitt added, that the president had
a single track mind, and that as he
was dealing with Germany, he could
not bother with Russia"

WESTCOTT BLOCK

One of the largest real estate trans
actions that has taken place in the
business section of the city for some
time was completed Friday by the
purchase of the building known as the
Westcott block, 1922 Main street, by
Lee B. Nusbaum. The building is now
occupied by the Lee B. Nusbaum Co.,
dry goods, readyto-wear, and milli-
rery. The purchase price was not
made public, but the building is re-
garded as one Of the most valuable
business blocks in the city.
Nusbaum said he had been desiring
for some time to acquire the property
to make changes in the building to ac-
commodate his increased business.
The building is 44x165 feet, and is four
stories high. At present the Lee B.
Nusbaum Co., occupies the first floor
and basement and the greater part Of
the second floor.
The building will be known as the
"Nusbaum Block" to avoid confusion
now occasioned by the names West
colt Hotel and Westcott Block. 1t
was formerly owned by the Richmond
Realty Company.

PLUMB SYSTEM
BENEFITS ONE
CLASS, CHARGE
Must be Buried Beyond All
Hope, Declares Representa-
tive of Industry.
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Sept. II - The
railroads under government ownership
must be buried beyond all hope" IL it
is to be made rallying point for the
nationaliza ton of all industry, Edgar
J. Rich, transportation counsel for the
Associated Industries Of Massachu-
setts, declared today before the house
interstate commerce committee con-
sidering legislation for final disposi-
ton of the railroads.
Mr.. Rich who also spoke for the
manufacturers associations Of p
states and the Massachusetts Cham
Der Of Commerce said the Plumb plan
like Bolshevism, was a "perversion"
of the principle of socialism in that it
would benefit only one class and deny
the socialistic theory of the general
public good"
Public Assumes Risk
The railroads under the plan he
said, would be operated for the bene-
fit of the workers" while the public
would assume all risk of loss.
The greatest defect of the plan, he
declared, is that the two-thirds rep
resentation given the workers and
railroad officers on the proposed wage
fixing board would enable the workers
to dominate" the board and fix
their own wages regardless OF reve-
nues, with the public to stand any re-
suliant losses.
THE author of the plan" said Mr..
Rich, claims there would be an in
centive for efficient operation because
every worker would be entitled to a
share in the surplus. But after the
employees had helped themselves to
what wages they wanted, does any one
believe there would be any surplus
Why should the employees care to ac-
cumulate a surplus, one half Of which
they can have when they can get the
whole and more by adjusting their
own wa geS,"

Bulgaria is willing to subscribe to any

based on the principle of self deter

''If permitted to live unhindered
within their own legitimate limits the
Bulgarians would prove the most

"They have always wished to have a

at is evident that Bulgaria's geo

conditions for its unimpeded econom

greatly affected. One of these condi
