is ANOTHER EUROPEAN
WAR LOOMING ,

Lloyd Georges statement in par
Lament of the attitude of Great
Britain and France toward Poland
and Soviet Russia was frank and H.
Illuminating. Poland, he declared,
was at fault for attacking the Boil
shevik government. 1t would not
leave a sleeping dog alone, and now
must make the best terms it can with
Lenin and Trotzky If Russia will
contne its punishment to a sound
spanking the allies will look on with
approval, but beyond that the soviet
power must not go. 1t must not de-
stroy or endanger Polish nationality
and independence.
The British premier frankly added
that in the event that the Russian
dictators should seek the destruction
of Poland difficult situation would
arise. The allies, he intimated,
would cross that bridge when they
came to it. 1t is not exaggeration to
say that another European war is n
possibility. The issue rests now with
the soviet government. As Lloyd
George said, if the Russians want
peace they can have it, whit an in
ference in his other utterances that
if they want war they can have war.
Britain and France shrink from a
grapple with the sovietized Russian
bear, and their discretion is not mis-
placed. They have to consider Ger
many and the possible undoing of tho
allied victory over the central pow
ers.
On the other hand, it seems prob
able that Lenin and Trotzky will
heed Lloyd Georges warning and
content themselves with peace terms
that will be sufficient warning to Po-
land not to repeat it's folly, but which
will yet preserve Poland's national
ity. Human nature is not essentially
different in Russia than in other
cOuntrys of Europe, so it seems GER
tain that the Russians are as weary
of war as are the French and the
British; perhaps more so, for the
Russians have been sore sufferers.
Economic conditions, too, clamor for
peace in soviet Russia.
If Russia were a democracy, like
France or Britain, these consdera-
tions could be given great weight at
this moment But military despot-
ism can make its people fight where
the heads of free and democratic
government must yield altogether to
public opinion. And that, at this
moment, is the advantage that Lenin
and Trotzky have over Lloyd George
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Review.

SKIN TEST FOR AGE

A writer in Good Health magazine
describes how age may be determined
by the skin test. II used to be said
that person is as old as his arteries
as his heart or as his kidneys. But
now. says the scientist. one may say
he is as old as his skin. The skin
test. it is pointed out, was employed
before the abolition of slavery to
determine in testing the age Of the
slaves.
The writer describes the skin test
method thus: when a fold of skin
on the back of the hand Of an old per-
son is picked up between the thumb
and finger. the ridge that is formed
will remain elevated above the skin
for some seconds, while in a young
person a fold of skin picked up in a
similar manner snaps back into place
the instant 1t is released"
To those who look at age as mere
ly matter Of years. the above
should prove interesting. The skin
has a very important function in bod
lily health. 1t contains the organs
which fight poison taken in through
the alimentary canals of the body.
When these are not functioning prop
erly the skin becomes wrinkled
which is a sign of premature age.
Now look at your hands," says
the writer, ''and see what story they
tell. II you find a shiny. wrinkled
skin. or one that has lost its elasti-
city. this is an announcement of the
fact that you are prematurely old"
This is sign for people TO mend
their their ways. This is the time
when rapid progress to physical
is threat Only care
full selection of nutrition, good air.
good sleep. no worry and lots of at
and other things-then
would help preserve the skin, says
the writer, and conserve one from
premature age.

OUR MOTOR CAR INDUSTRY

From a negligible factor thirty
years ago. our motor car manufac-
ture now ranks the fifth largest in
dustry of America. 1t is now equal
in value to the anthracite and bitu-
minous coal industry Of the country,
comprises over one-third of the ptal
wealth OF the United States and bids
fair to be our leading industry be-
fore long.
The growth of the automobile in
dustry in this country is tremendous.
1t has affected the rubber tire busi-
ness and is one OF the great factors
that boosted up our oil fields and
mines. 1t has given life to other kin
dred Industries such as garages and
gasoline. The motor car traffic now
is greater in value than that Of the
railroads. Our motor car export has
increased tremendously also. The
sight of Ford cars and other cars OF
American make is familiar in the
Far East. The war gave this country
a great market in South America and
even in Europe and this market is de-
veloping still. Our tractors, our
motor-propelled agricultural imple-
ments, are slowly but surely making
their ways to the farm not only in
this country but in other countries as
well.
The influence of the motor car up
on our transportation system is very
great The automobile has given the
farm and the city an excellent means
of intercommunication. With the
development of good roads which is
bound to come as motor transporta-
tion increases, 1t will soon be easy
to link the interests of the farmer
and the city dweller more closely
together. 1t will be interesting to
know how much the motor car has
stemmed OF the tide Of silent migra-
tion from the country districts to the
urban centers. In California. Ne
braska and Iowa. statistics show
that there is an automobile for every
seven persons. The people of these
states could joy ride together in their
motor cars without leaving one un-
Accommodated. Such has the ausomo-
bile industry affected the peoples life
that it would be difficult to find a
substitute for the motor vehicle
without the Nations experiencing a
violent change.
The motor car industry has come
to stay. There are millions now en-
gagged in the industry and several
