BANouETs

banquet is happy place
 To sit and eat and chat; To yip and sing and make a face AndSwear a funny hat. 70. A. Leedy, in the Youngstown Telegram banquet once was lots of fun
 And many happy souls Could there accumulate bun
 But now we just get rolls. Ted Robinson, in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The banquet meath gilded dome
 Was once exceeding gay, But now I'd rather toddle home And roll into the hay

FEELS AT HOME HERE

q feel almost as much at home here in Bir- mingham as do in Cleveland,' says S. Marshall Bond, president of the Root-McBride company, wholesale dry goods merchants in Cleveland.
 Having come here for a number of years I frequently see faces the street or at the clubs of men l know well. I am fond of golf and play frequently at the local courses.
 "There is magnet which attracts me to Bir- mingham, of course. One daughter and two fine granddaughters bring me south often."

THE TRAGIC SIDE

'1)o you get much enjoyment out of playing the merry game of politics?"
 q wouldn't call it merry game," said the veteran campaigner.
 "No?"
 "If all who play the game of politics could enjoy it there'd be no justification for such phrases as eating crow sailing up Salt river and retiring to the tall timber"

SUBSTANTIAL RESULTS GAINED
 BY ARMS CONFERENCE

If the armament conference has encountered some problems it will not be able to solve, it nevertheless has substantial achievements to it's credit which will have far-reaching effect. The four-power pact, which will not be repudi- ated by the Senate, the capital ship program and the abolition of the Anglo-Japanese treaty more than justify the assembling of the diplomats in Washington.
 France and Great Britain have contrived be- tween them to create a, situation in regard to submarines that will probably cause this ques- tion to be postponed until future conference is held, along with others with which little pro- gress is being made. The arms conference will not guarantee the peace of the world, but it will go far toward doing so. It has served one purpose that should be of incalculable value to humanity. The nations taking part in it have been compelled to come out in the open and say where they stand. It has been a revelation of national policy.
 The conference has also set the fashion for international assemblies in the future. It will lead to others in which nations not represented at Washington will take part and adjust their differences. It has shown the great advantage of meeting together and talking matters over before there is war, rather than waiting until 8 war has been fought.
 Unless all signs fail, the good work started in Washington will continue, on broader scope and, as regards some of it's problems, to more satisfactory conclusion.
