League of Nations Advocated
To Obviate Future Conflicts

This great world war has taught us
that the most urgent, the most neces-
sary, the most fundamentally religious
duty now before us, is the devising and
adopting of some method other than
war for settling of disputes that are
bound to arise between nations. I'm
less this can be done, says Chris
tan Herald, we can never be sure that
at any moment the results of gen.
erat1ons of preaching and teaching
may not be consumed in the fires of
war. The idea of a league of nations
is no longer the mere vision of seers,
the dream of prophets and the intellec-
tual plaything of theorists. 1t is to-
day one of the most concrete and I'M
avoidable issues in the field of prac-
teal craftsmanship.

UKRAINIAN
YEAR BOOKS
Publications Have Wider Circulation
Than Newspapers


The yearbooks published by the
Ukrainians in the United States and
Canada are highly important fea-
lures of their household libraries, ac-
cording to the committee on public
information. The Ukrainians do not
publish any illustrated magazines in
this country but issue number OF
paper-covered ANIMALS dealing with an
enormous number of subjects and
filed with pictures.
Thus one of the most recent Ukrain-
ian almanacs, which is just off the
press, contains articles on airplanes,
agriculture, politics, international re-
lations, music, wireless telegraphyl and
travel. And this is only the beginning.
There is one article about Woodrow
Wilson, accompanied by picture of
the president and quotations from
some of his memorable speeches.
These yearbooks, of which there are
about ten, have wider circulation
than the Ukrainian newspapers and
one. or more of them is pretty sure to
be found even in the humblest Ukrain-
ian household.

Texas Making Wonderful
Strides in Oil Industry

Under the spur of war, Texas in the
last year, has effected tremendous
development of her oil industry. To-
day there are in operation in that
state AZ refneries with a capacity OF
27S,5OO barrels daily. They are ca
pable of refining double the amount OF
oil produced in the Texas field last
year. Fields of unsupported volume
have been opened and made TO ara IN
keeping ships and army motors at top
speed. In the coastal region wnere
ten refineries are in operation, the first
unit is nearly completed OF a big oil
plant on the Houston ship canal. 1t Is
intended to have capacity OF 2o'ouv
barrels a day and represents an invest
ment from Ss,OOOOOO to $1O,0OO,OOO.

English Writer Tells About
Films That Actually Talk
Latest Edison Invention

Thomas Alva Edison, in his wonder
full new invention, has given us pic
lures that not only move but talk, re-
lates a London correspondent. The
kinetophone and the monograph, and
it's effects are weirdly realistic. The
machine is so constructed that the
sounds of the voices of the actors in
the picture drama are reproduced in
the most natural way. When figures
appear to be walking toward the front
of the stage their voices get louder as
they get nearer. to the audience, and
softer as they retreat. When a plate
is smashed the noise of broken crock
cry is distinctly heard. The notes OF
the piano or violin are reproduced
when the actor plays on one of these
instruments, the expression and time
being clearly marked. Whistling, sing
ing, opening and shutting doors, etc.,
are all heard.
Talking pictures are also to be seen
in similar invention, the klinoplasti-
kon. The effects here are most WON
derful. Dancers come from the wings,
perform and sing, and retire to the
wings again, and after applause come
and bow their acknowledgements to the
audience in the most natural manner.
What is more, the stage is not in dark
ness, as in the case of ordinary bio
scope pictures, but Is perfectly light,
and there is no screen. The illusion
of living people singing and dancing
as in q real theater is thus almost
complete, for the figures do almost
everything that living artist can do.

Men, Women and Children
Helped Bring Big Victory

Just what name posterity will give
to the war nobody of the immediate
present can say; but if it is fairly de-
scriptive it will perhaps somehow in
clude or suggest the part taken by
the women, who, in II months, for
one thing, have turned out something
over 100000 knitted articles. The
women, in fact, have knit themselves
into history in a way that the future
historian will have to take into con-
sideration. Literally 1t has been war
Of men, women and children against
an impending tyranny.

Curtiss Is Credited With
Originating HydropIane

The idea of the hydroplane was sug-
gested in patent specifications by Gugo
Matullath of New York, 1899, but it
had its practical origin in Glenn
Curtiss, who added floats to the air.

ing over Lake Keuka in 1908. These
were placed under each wing, so that
in case of accident the machine would
not sink. Langein and others had
made their experimental flights over
bodies of water for the same reasons
Probably the first to make the floats
an integral part of the machine was
Fabre, who on March 2S,l 1910, made
the first flight with practical hydro
plane at Martignes, on the Seine. Cur
tiss soon abandoned floats and built
boat bodies, and for this accomplish
ment he received the Aero Club O:
America trophy in 1911.

Memorial Planned to Dogs
Sacrificed in Gas Tests

Prompted by girls of the chorus at
the Hippodrome AM, Endorsed by other
women, and, it is Said, by the New
York club and the Toy Dog club, a
movement is under way to set up a
memorial to the dogs whose lives were
sacrificed in experimental work for the
army. 1t is stated that the chemical
warfare division Of the war depart
ment used on an average of so dogs a
month in testing gases and protection
devices. 1t was suggested that a fund
be raised for the erection of a dogs
drinking fountain in a park to bear "a
tablet explaining the service done for
humanity by the dogs.

What to Feed the Child.

For q normal baby, with a normal
mother, the first few months or year
there is nothing better to do than
feed it with natures food, mothers
milk. Orange juice and water for re-
freshment will cool the swollen gums
and give great relief when teething.
If the child has taken prune juice,
unsweetened, and orange juice occa-
sionally the digestive tract will be in
good working order. Then in the Sec
ond year scraped apple or other fruits
like pears and peaches if well ripened,
may be safely given in very small
quantities. A drink of cool water
should be given frequently. How many
worrying babies, who cannot tell what
they want would be made comfortable
By frequent drinks of pure cool water.
All changes in a child's diet should
be made very carefully and when any
new food is introduced give it in small
quantities, a teaspoonful or two being
sufficient.
Baked potato is a food particularly
adapted for a young child's food. Use
a little milk with a grain or two OF
salt. then cream and butter may be
added. After a child has become ac-
customed to potato teaspoonful Oh
finely mashed peas may be given, as
well as carrot, spinach and any vege-
table not too woody.
A child's digestion is so much more
rapid than an adults that they need
10 be fed oftener and in small guam
titles.
A child fifteen months old will need
some such diet as to food and time
as the following: AT seven or eight
a breakfast cereal, bread or toast ana
4 cupful of milk; at noon an egg, po-
tato. one other vegetable, bread and
fruit, either juice or scraped fruit.
Five or six, milk and rice or bread.
and at ten cupful or bottle of milk.
The cereals should be varied so that
they may become accustomed to like
a variety.
The chief thing to remember in
cooking cereals for children is to cook
them long enough. Serve with good
top milk and no sugar. In early youth
the child gets all the sugar he needs
from the fruit he eats. One good rea-
son for having little people eat alone
is that foods that must be denied
them are, not put temptingly before

Latest Vending Machine Is
Detector of Spurious Coin

One Of the interesting DEVELOPMENTS
in the vending machine field is large
apparatus that dispenses bottled bev-
erages, sandwiches and chewing gum.
In order to encourage patrons to re-
turn empty bottles to>the machine, a
.ick of gum is discharged when Il
bottle is placed in the receiver provid-
ed for it. A counterfeit detector re-
jects spurious coins. A complete rec
ord of all transactions is kept by a
sales registering mechanism. The only
attention the machine requires is that
involved in stocking and icing it daily.

Steel Making Very Similar
To- Making of Pie, Says an
American Chemical Expert

The making of steel is very similar
to the making of pie, says ]. w.
Beckman, member of the American
Chemical society. In pie number
of various ingredients are mixed to-
gether, and produce the desired re-
suits; and such is also the case in
making steel. Among the most i'm
portant ingredients which enter into
steel manufacture, aside from the iron
itself, are the metals manganese and
silicon. These two metals added to
the iron in various proportion give the
necessary quality to the steel. With
out them modern steel manufacture
would be a failure.
Prior to the war metallic manganese
used in steel making was obtained
from ores imported from Russia and
smelted in the United States into an
alloy known as ferro-manganese Prior
to the war, as is now the case, silicon
was smelted in the United States in
electric furnaces from quartz rock into
an alloy know as ferro-silicon. These
were the two sources from which the
silicon and manganese necessary in
steel were obtained. The war has
made enormous changes in the field of
steel making. Germany has been de-
prived completely from obtaining man.
ganese from outside sources. The
United States has also been deprived.
due to many circumstances, from OBJ
tanning the requisite amount of man
ganese ores from outside sources. Ger
many has hunted through it's mineral
deposits and has found ores contain
ing manganese and silicon together

Mans Work Should Provide
Happiness and Peace of Mind

A mans work should always mean
more to him than mere means of live
lihood. He should draw from it happi-
ness, contentment, peace Of mind This
he can do only if he looks upon his
work as contributing something worth
while to the lives of his fellow men.
For men are so built that the con-
seriousness of rendering service is an
instructive need of their being. Those
who have not this consciousness are
certain to be unhappy, whether they
do not work at all or work up to the
limit of their powers and whether the
monetary return from their work is
small or great.

Field for Treasure Seekers.

With the evacuation of French and
Belgian territory by the Huns a won
derful new field is opened up for the
treasure seeker. When the invading
hordes first Overran the country in
1915 many of the residents buried
their valuables before seeking safety
in flight. During the four years and
more Of war many of these families
have become separated and numerous
members have died. In many instances
the secret of the buried property has
been lost. In London companies al
ready are being promoted to seek the
hidden gold.

Each Must Learn His Own
Best Way of Living, Then
Get the Most Out of Life

There is only one best conduct OF
life for you, and that is the one that
Is best for you. Those who wander
aimlessly In quest Of the single right
formula for existence grope In a maze
through which they must tread their
way endlessly in scarce. Of the center
which does not exist, observes writer
in Golfers Weekly.
There is no one recipe which will
serve for all mankind. Each must
learn not his neighbours but his own
best way of living. To one it may De
the routine task, the daily round, to
curb the wandering will and bring
content. To another it may be the
fortitude to escape the sheltering care
of habit or the lassitude Of sloth. 10
one it should be the abandonment OF
philosophy and introspection to rub
elbows with his fellow-men; to an
other the willingness to let the soul
awaken and breathe amid the SKY
trimmed prairie and under the death
less stars; to one, hearthstOne ana
slippers; to another the seven seas,
the aurora borealis and the southern
cross; to one, society; to another
solitude; to one, the quiet which stllis
the passions; to another, the eter-
nal restlessness which brings achieve
ment.
The best rounded life contains some
thing of each and all. There are but
two attitudes to avoid-the level line
of least resistance and the rightly OF
self-distrust, which denies every i'm
pulse simply because it is impulse.
Somewhere between the two lies your
course. Many are the thickets to be
hewed down, many the crags to be
scaled. But beyond stands the inn in
the clearing, where faithful travellers
may find the refreshment, the rest and
the kindly words Of welcome which
form the goal and the reward OF life
well lived.
