Elihu Roots Work.


In his speech before the New York
republican state convention David
jayne Hill condemned the League OF
Nations and said that 1.-The only hope
OF the leagues utility for peace is in
a change of its center of gravity from
a military to a judicial organization
The speaker eulogized the great work
now being done by Elihu Root and
commended his efforts to establish
world tribunal at The Hague "for
the purpose of substituting in our
relations with Europe judicial action
for political expediency and military
force"
But Mr.. Hill failed to tell his
audience that Mr.. Root has been act
ing as member of a commission OF
Jurists appointed by the council OF
the League of Nations, that it's WORK
will be submitted to the council and
that the judges provided for will be
appointed by the council and the as
sembly. So what we have is the
present League of Nations working
to carry out the plan favored by Mr.
Hill and shifting its center of grav-
ity from a military to judicial organ.
ization." And all this is provided
for by the very covenant which has
been so severely criticised by MI
Hill and others Of his way Of think
ing. 1t is through the league that
the nations are acting in the creation
of the world judicial tribunal
through the league that Mr.. Root is
working.
1t was, however, recognized that
there was at least possibility that
some nation might refuse to submit,
to the tribunal it's controversy with
another nation and provision was
made for that possibility. There can
be no peace through court unless
disputants are willing to resort to
that Ocurt. There must, therefore
be power to deal with such a case
That power is provided by the GOV.
enant. But there was never any
thought, and is not now, of substi.
tuting military force. the boycott anG
the severance Of diplomatic relations
for the judgment of the proposed
court. All these were and are sup
Elementary. The nation that refuse
to arbitrate, or to accept an award
must be dealt with in some other
way. Mr.. Root is acting under ap
potntment from the league Of nations
which Mr.. Hill condemns and the
court which he is helping to create
will be an organ Of the league

SALVAGES ONE MILLION
POUNDS OF WASTE PAPER

With the shortage Of news print
paper becoming SO acute that news
papers throughout the country are
compelled to refuse columna Of ad
vertising each day and also to elimi-
nate many Of their features. the Sal
walton Army. through ITS industrial
homes, is making strenuous effort
to turn back to the paper mills more
waste even than 1t has done in the
past.
| The Salvation Army annually sal
wages one million pounds of waste
paper. According to one newspaper
publisher, the amount of salvaged
paper sent by the Army to the mills
last year would have printed one edi /,
ton of newspapers having a COM
bined circulation Of 1,25O.000.00O
copies, or would have supplied for
one year a newspaper with an annual
circulation of 3,424,657 copies.
In effecting this saving, the Saliva
ton Army has not only helped the
publishers, but 1t has accomplished
saving for humanity by putting
thousands Of "derelicts" back on
their feet again and started them on
the road to success, where instead Of
being tax consumers they have be-
come tax payers and credit to the
community in which they live.
The Salvation Army. through it's
IL rescue and maternity homes west
of the Mississippi river last year
cared for 1888 unfortunate girls and
1858 babies, the majority of these
mothers being under Is years of age.

the fingers. Remove as much of the
soap as possible from the bird before
immersing 1t in the second tub. When
even a trace of soap is left in the
feathers it will cause them to appear
streaked and matted together when
dry. In rinsing the feathers be sure
to see that the water penetrates all
parts Of the plumage The use of a
small sponge will assist in removing
the soap. After four or five fow Is
have been washed, change the water
in all of the tubs before washing
other fowls.
On removing the fowl from the
final tub blot the surface of the feath-
ers with Turkish towel to remove
the surplus water. Do not, under any
circumstances, rub the feathers with
the towel, as this may cause consider
able damage to the plumage. Next.
place the bird in coop. Should the
fowl appear cold and SILVER when
placed in the coop, move it closer to
the stove or other source OF heat.
Do not place the coop close to the
stove for any length Of time, as it
may cause the feathers to dry too
quickly, in which case they are apt
to curl instead Of drying smooth and
straight. Should the bird, on the
other hand. appear too warm, move
the coop or increase the distance be-
tween the coop and stove. The birds
after being washed should be kept
in this room at temperature of
about 20 degrees for at least 2 or II
hours before being shipped.
When the fowl is thoroughly dry,
closely examine the shanks and fee.
to make sure that there is no dirt
remaining under or around the scales
on the legs. Such particles Of dirt
may easily be removed with a
toothpick. 1t is we'll, at this time.
also to moisten a small cloth with a
little sweet or olive oil or vaselina
and rub it on the shanks. wattles, ear
lobes, face, and comb This will
help considerably to bring out the
true color of these parts. Do not
apply too much oil or vaseline to
the head or shanks as it may tend to
soil the plumage.

The Abandonment OF War Camps

AAsC IAU11AN1OuA1hOht vi w N11AlYo
The war department has begun the
process Of abandoning many of the
great cantonments, where in 1917
and 1918, there were created incom-
parably efficient machines for maxi
ing soldiers out of the raw material
brought in by the draft. Camp
Dodge, near Des Moines, and Camp
Kearney. near San Diego, each the
birthplace of . combat division, we're
put on the retired list two weeks
ago. 1t is also announced that
Camp Zachcry Taylor, near Louis
Vile, where at one time 10000 young
men were being trained as artillery
officers. Is to 60, and that the First
division is to move from Kentucky to
New Jersey.
Our army has shrunk to such pro-
portions that maintenance of all the
great wartime cantonments, in addi-
ton to the pre-war army posts, would
mean huge needless expense. From
now on the army program. is likely
to be concentration of troops at
points selected according to some
strategic plan of mobilization and
defense. Not all the war camps will
be deserted. Camp Lewis. one of
the most successful of them all, is
to be permanent, for the Fourth div
ision is on its way there from Camp
Dodge. Army posts, such as Fort
George Wright. are to be strength
ened. and there will be fewer scat
tered battalions and detached COM
panies than there were before the
war.
Whatever may happen to them such
camps as Kearney and Taylor will
have prominent and cred:table
part in our recollection of the two
war years. In them there was no
fumbling, no puttering, no halfway
measures. no amateurishness. We
were dazed at first by their great
size, then by the businesslike manner
with which they took trainloads OF
recruits and started them through a
wonderful machine Of selection and
training. Anyone who saw Camp
Lewis when there were $4,000 young
Americans learning the business OF
war will never forget that part OF
our efforts at least.-Spokesman Re-
view.

Automobile Courtesy.

A writer in the Public Pulse recent
ly suggested that an appeal should
be made to the motorists to act like
gentlemen in traversing the streets
and highways. 1t was his opinion
that in every man there Is the In
stinct Of fair play and a constant
suggestion of otiquet of the ROAD
would work better than penalties
The theory Ia interesting, but NOT
convincing, with respect to all the
outrages in automobile driving. But
It would doubtless help q lot II IN
some way the man In the machine
could be led to understand that dis
courtesy on the road Is not only the
height of vulgarity but it is unmani!
and cheap manners. 1t Is true that
many who pride themselves on social
position and good breeding seem 10
forget their assumption when sitting
at the wheel Of high powered auto

that the highest courtesy is that OF

REVERSING TIRES ADS TO WEAR
Timely Tips by willard Begg. Local
Miller Dealer.

Timely Tips by willard Begg. Local
Miller Dealer.
The fact that tires on the right
hand side of q car wear out faster in
proportion than those on the left
hand side often pushes motorists.
The popular supposition. that this
wear is caused by turning many cor
ners to the right, Is incorrect. The
fact Is that the increased wear Is &C
tually caused by the pitch OF the
road, which throws more Of the car
on the right side than on the left.
The round of the road from curb
to curb is far more important in de-
termining the sequence in which tires
normally Outright rear. left rear.
right front, left front-than is gutter
wear and abrasions from grinding
o ffand on pavements.
The slope Of the road causes the
right rear tire to carry more weight
than the left rear tire. Thus the
right rear wears the faster OF the
two. The right front also, according
to Miller tire and tube experts. will
wear more rapidly than the left
front, for the same reason.
However, as the left rear wheel
receives a driving pull, while the
right front does not, it will wear the
faster of the two. Under average
conditions the right rear tire wears
out first and the left front last.
To secure uniform wear from set
of tires, change them around about
once a month. Particularly is 1t i'm.
portant to reverse the rear tires
After the rear tires are worn down,
reverse them with the front.

JOHN HENRY
John Henry had laid in stock
OF wizard Chicken Meal''-
Declared the price on it "bed rock,''
And thought that closed the deal.
He didn't make another move
Sat back to wait for sales
They didn't come, and lower hung
The cloud that spells out fails.
Across the street for him there was
A store called ''Timpkin's Place.
That had brisk proprietor
Who set a lively pace.
The customers would come and go,
John Henry marveled much.
The things that Timpkns sold the1m too,
Most surely cheat the Dutch"
At last he called on Timpkins,
Just to learn the how and why
He got those people in his store
And how he made them buy
Friend Timpkins smiled. "Why sure" he said
"Just come out of your shell,
And run full-page Standard ad,
Telling what you have to sell"
John Henry gasped: "That's SOME expense!"
''Oh no, friend Timpkins said.
cts just like rent and clerk hire
Your necessary overhead"
John Henry followed this advice;
You ought to see his store
He's sold off all his Wizard meal
And ordered that much more
He has car and motors,
Spends his Sundays in the woods
For Standard Ads have taught him
How he can sell his goods.

itself. Tired of bloodshed and with
