STAND their relations to each other
and to secure harmony thereby.
The world has been amazed at the
startling conditions expressed by Sec
rotary Hughes! Newspaper reports
say that the foreign delegates sat
through his speech as if stunned!
And yet, within twenty four hours
Great Britain and Japan had agreed
to the terms advanced. The united
States agreed to scrap three hundred
and thirty millions of dollars worth
of ships! Similar amounts were de
manded Of Japan and England! But
when they got together and reached
an understanding that none desired
to make war on the other, the terms
were agreed to!
Mark it down in your record. You
have witnessed an epoch-making e.
vent in the history of the world.
When we consider the vast amount
of money we are scrapping in the
ships we abandon, it staggers US! 1t

in its prevention of war, its value
can never be estimated.

FUNCTION OF ROOMS

Few people really appreciate how
the atmosphere of the home reflects
the personality and taste of its oc-
cupants. The seriousness of the fact
cannot be emphasized too much. Peo-
pie should be judged by their homes
rather than by the clothes they wear.
Clothes are more or less of a luxury
and the woman who spends more on
her clothes than on her home is not
to be admired For clothes are more
matter of individual pride than of
unselfish expenditure. l do not be-
little being tastefully and neatly
dressed that is an essential, but
there is no necessity of sacrificing
the finishing touch in the home for
the vanity of personal and luxurious
adornment. How much more we ad-
mire the person who lives and dress
es fittingly, than one who dresses for
show.
Expenditure on the home gives the
greatest good to the greatest number,
is the erul of the matter. The Great
ion of home that is attractive, in
innate and personal, is much to be
desired. In this Creation" We must
consider the fact that there are sew
eral individuals who must share it.
And for that reason the home
should be the background for all of
them. The house and the room should
be subordinate to the people, as a
setting for picture,- the background
for portrait.
In working out color schemes this
factor should be considered seriously
and with it the adaptation to the use
of the room. Let US think of the func-
tons of the various rooms in the av-
erage house,
The living room is the common
meeting place of the family and the
reception room for our friends.
praise be that the old front par
lor" is passingD The spirit of this
room should be of comfort and hos
pitality primarily How to get it?
Comfort implies peace as well as
mere luxury. Therefore we want to
use a restful color scheme. If the
large areas such as walls and floor
spaces are treated with warm, neu-
trail tones, tans or warm greys with
darker tones Of different colors used
for upholstery with brilliant color
notes in the minor details of the
room, the whole effect will be restful
and inviting. Living rooms should be
carefully lighted. That is, the lights
so placed as to give the maximum
efficiency for light and the greatest
comfort for the users. Small lamps
placed on tables near various groups
of chairs are far more desirable than
one brilliant incandescent light in the
middle of the room. Our stuffed
chairs are necessarily large and space
! filling, but they need not be cumber-
some to be comfortable. But it is bet
ter to have them comfortable and
cumbersome than too stiff and elab-
orately upholstered.
The room to fulfill its function of
hospitality should look used and us
able as we'll as neat and clean. The
two are possible together! The facil-
tiles for comfort must be there while
order reigns. That order adds greatly
to the feeling of comfort, Ito the
casual visitor at least.)
This is the most important room
in the house. But we shall study the
others in time Each individual liv-
ing room has its own demands, and
as such should be considered, The
difficulty lies in solving the prob
lem fittingly and individually

UNDERSTANDING IS THE KEY
NOTE OF THE HISTORY-MAKING
ARMS CONFERENCE NOW IN
SESSION AT WASHINGTON

President Harding made the open
ing address Saturday at the begin
ming Of the Conference on Limitation
Of Armaments. The key note of his
speech promises to be the key note
Of the Conference. That key note is
UNDERSTANDING"
Tie word occurred many times in
President Harding's short talk. It is
the underlying principle of all sue
cessful business, progress, develop
ment and government. The men of
the business world who understand
their work and those with whom it
brings them in contact, are success
full business men. People who under
stand each other generally get along
together profi.ably. The government
that tries to get at clear under
standing Of its function applying to
S own people and the peoples of
S neighbors IS bound to succeed in
I'll respects. President Harding's re-
marks Saturday, made simply and
7ithout ostentation, remind one Of
lincoln. His speech had the spirit of
he famous speech of Gettysburg.
Consider this extract:

Seemingly bowed down with the
grief of the ages
Was he.
Unheeding my step, with arms
wide flung
Across the table
Head lying prone.
The strength his manly form
revealed
Seemed crushed
Like a stalwart oak
Laid crashing
By the woodsman's axe.
At my voice,
He moved
AS if from out the depths!
His face,
Turned full upon me,
Showed eyes
Red-rimmed and swollen.
My heart went out
To him
Like a fleeing bird
At the cry of its young!
What is it? ?" l asked,
Seeking to still the tremor
In my voice.
He smiled wryly,
And sneezed,

There is one officer to every seven
men in the U. S. army, according to
information received by the Legion
Headquarters. 1t was explained by
the War Department that the high
proportion of officers was due to the
present army policy of maintaining
an army capable of quick expansion
in time of war. The army today num-
bers $4,000, of which $4,000 are of
ficers.

The first official act of Hanford
MacNider, newly elected national
commander of the Legion, was his
attendance at the Armistice Day GER
emonies at Arlington as represent
ative of the majority of ex-service
men in the U. S. MacNider's election
has been approved by Legionnaires
everywhere. "He is exactly the type
of man we want to lead u.s." seems
to be the unanimous comment. The
impressive things about the new
commander are that he went into the
army buck private and came out
a lieutenant colonel with II citations
and 9 decorations; that at the age of
80 he is head of large banking bust
ness in Iowa, and that he is Har-
ward man without the Harvard &C
cent. He is hailed everywhere as a
real soldier"

Two thousand YEARS
Ago, a MAN
ASTOUNDED the WORLD
By mysterious ACTS
We now call MIRACLES.
Those who SAW him,
MARVELED greatly.
And he SAID:
GREATER things
Than THESE
Shall YE do"
And in LATER years
A man DISCOVERED
The power of STEAM
And another FOUND
ELECTRICITY and
Another USED it
In the TELEPHONE
And another in
The TELEGRAPH.
And Friday I sat
In the OFFICE
Of Nelson Rittenhouse
In LAMBERTVILLE
And HEARD singing
And instrumental MUSIC
In NEWARK.
And there were NO
WIRES from that room
To Newark
Only a small INSTRUMENT
That looked like a TOY.
And Friday NIGHT
Charlie Malloy sat
In the same CHAIR
And HEARD a vaudeville
Performance and MUSIC
In NEW YORK
Over the same TOY
With NO WIRES
Connecting it WITH
NEW YORK and
The JOKES he heard
Made him LAUGH and
The MUSIC made him
MARVEL and WONDER!
And SUNDAY night
John Mangan sat
In the SAME chair
And heard the ORGAN
Play in a PITTSBURG
Church, and the CHOIR
Sang "HOLY, HOLY,
HOLY" and the
Minister read the BOOK
And preached the WORD
Of the ONE who said,
"GREATER THINGS than
These shall We DO"
And thru the INFINITE
Reaches of SPACE
And out of the DARKNESS
Of the NIGHT
The MUSIC came
PURE and SWEET
And the WORDS came
CLEAR and TRUE
Like a VOICE from
The ETERNAL HILLS.
And | think SINCERELY
That the GREAT TEACHER
Knew what HE
Was TALKING about
When he SAID
We should DO
Such things. And
| think people are BLIND
And DEAF
And DUMB
When they REFUSE
To BELIEVE the things
HE did, simply because
They cannot UNDERSTAND
Them. And
That's ALL!
