Following is said to be a literal
translation of the French text of what
President Wilson promised Europe:
IF the world finds itself troubled
anew. If the conditions which we re-
gard as fundamental are again drawn
into question, the guaranty which is
given to you will mean that the
United States will send to this sloe
of the ocean their army and their
navy" If the president said that no
was talking thru his hat. He knows
and everybody knows that nothing of
the sort could be done without the
consent of the congress and of the
people expressed thru its members.
There has been much bunk in connec-
ton with the League Of Nations dis
cussion.

NOW The MOTHER FIGHTS
Objects TO Her Boy Being Beaten
in Bout Refereed by Chicago
School Principal.

Chicago. Oct. 29-The practice of
pupils in the Webster school, the
school of twenty-five nationalities. of
settling their disputes with fist fights
under the supervision of the principal
was brought to the attention of the
board OF education today in a formal
complaint filed against Miss Alice NJ.
Hogge.
Mrs. Rose Scion. mother of Abe
Scion, whose defeat at the hands of
Salvatore Sortina in the school base
ment several days ago brought tho
custom to light. filed the charges ask
ing Miss Hogge's removal.
In her affidavit Mrs. Scion says she
does not object to her boy fighting and
realizes that such quarrels are COM
mon among school children. What
she does object to is that such fights
are countenanced by the school prin-
cipal, who encouraged the italian boy
to "ciean up" Abe. it is said.
BEAT up Able. Hit him harder"
the principal is reported to have said.
The counter between Abe and Saliva
tore came when the boys appeared be-
fore Miss Hogge with stories of their
quarrel and she supervised their fif-
teen minute battle in the school base
ment. Abe emerged from the en-
counter with couple of black eyes.
Such principal, Mrs. Selon's affi-
davit declares. is not a fit person to
govern children and mold their char
acters. School board officials said her
charges will be investigated. When
the battle first became known J. c.
Mortensen, superintendent of Chicago
schools, was quoted as endorsing the
principals method of handling the
quarrels.

WAIT R. R. VERDICT
Only Ninety-Seven of 800 Short
Lines Affected.
But Employees of Others Only
Holding Their Demands.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-Six hundred
short line railroads turnout the coun-
try probably will be affected by the
decision of the United States labor
board, which was expected to end its
hearing this week on demar IS by en-
ployes of ninety-seven short line roads
for wage increases, it was learned here
today.
The short line employees demands
were similar to those of 100000
other railroad workers and recently
passed on by the board. The latter's
demands were made when they were
working under federal control. Short
line roads were under private control.
More than fifty short line roads
have gone ahead without waiting on
the board, and applied the award re-
Gently granted other railroad employees,
to their own roads.
Attic there are SEQ short line roads
in the country. only employees on
nlnety-seven have presented their de-
mands. Workers on most of the re-
naming roads are awaiting the out

Testifying before the board, Hardin
said:
I'VE never had a strike, never killed
a passenger, never seriously injured an
employe. haven't hired an engineer or
fireman for fifteen years and have a
waiting list of efficient men to take
any vacant jobs. Several of our en-
gineers and firemen have farms and
their own autos"

Dorothy Dix Talks
The Ideal Horne.-f.
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
Wsrie's Highess Paid Woman Writes

Inc 10cal dOmc."1-
A man asks me my definition of an
ideal home.
Physically, it is a place of peace.
and quiet, and comfort-a place to
which one goes for refreshment of
body as well as of soul. Within it one
finds cleanliness and order, and good
food, warmth in winter and GOODNESS
in summer, a good bed to sleep on, a
good chair to sit in, a good dinner at
the end of the days work, a good book
to read.
The place out of which a home is
made may be grand or humble. 1t
does not matter. The floor may be
of bare boards, or covered with Per-
sian rugs; the bed may be of deal or
carved and inlaid wood: the dinner
may be a banquet or single sayory
dish. 1t is home, if it expresses our
individual taste, and meets our indi-
vidual need of comfort.
1 have been in palaces built by great
architects and furnished by famous
interior decorators, that were no more
homes than hotels or furniture stores
are. And I have been in two-room
cottages where we sat in the kitchen,
and shifted the deIectable doors of the
stew that was cooking on the kitchen
stove for dinner. and where woman
sang at her work, and that place was
the very embodiment of home
The ideal home must have in 1t
people,, the man, lf1e WOI1dn 3itu
the child. No one human being can
make a home alone and unaided.
No man can make a real home by
himself, tho he fill it with period fur
niture, and the artistic loot of the
world, and have perfect servants to
wait upon you, and give you the feasts
of Lucullus to eat.
Nor can any women make home
by herself, tho she Langs a tidy on
every chair, and has a chimney that
smokes, and a parrot that swears, and
cat that stays out late at night.
Rooms are bare and lifeless and
dead that lack the human touch that
a house gets that is really lived in,
where the drama of life, birth and
death, and laughing and weeping, does
not go on continually. That is what
makes old houses and old furniture so
interesting. They have seen SO much.
No bachelors homecoming of an
evening can have the zest that comes
to the man who knows that there will
be a child's face pressed against the
window pane watching for him, and a
woman's tender arm to draw him across
the threshold. A woman must have
the definite object of making her hus-
band and child comfortable to inspire
her to the work of mIiing a real
home. Women who live alone almost
invariably degenerate into tea and
toast dietary.
Spiritually, the ideal home is an
altar on which a man and woman
offer up the very best that is in them
to their Lares and Penates.

Capper and Curtis for casting their

McAdoo characterized this piece of

WANDERER JURY Undecided.

The state schools are said to be
greatly in need of dormitories. There
are many plain citizens in the cities of
Kansas who also lack suitable places
to sleep. Many persons who have de-
sired to cast their lot with the people
of Topeka have been prevented from
doing so by a lack of suitable place
In which to live. But nobody seems
TO be doing anything about it.

AIMS TO MAKE MARRIAGE
PERPETUAL HONEYMOON.

Speaking from my own experience
marriage decidedly is a success.
have been married three and half
years and have two little daugh-
ters. My husband and l have never
had serious quarrel in all of our
married life. Neither Of us ever
does anything without consulting
or getting the opinion OF the other.
We have tried to make our married
life perpetual honeymoon. and
while we have had lots OF troubles
and worries, 80 far we have sue
ceeded. I think the greatest rea-
son some marriages arc not sue
cess IL extreme selfishness on the
part of one or both OF the con-
tracing parties. II a man and
woman would only consider, be-
fore they are married, that they
are taking each other for better
or worse. not better for one of them
and worse for the other, 1 am sure
there would be fewer divorces and
more happy marriages. l., Il. III.
