HUGHES IS RIGHT AS USUAL

Crticisng Secretary Hughes for saying that "the prospect of reduced armaments IS not hopeful one unless this desire finds expression in practical effort to remove causes of mls
 understanding and to seek ground for agree ment as to principles and their apphcatlon,' v SpnOthOr Borah declares that "any plan or any program which makes the question of dls- armament a subordinate or incidental propo- stion rather than the main and controlling proposition will result ill the future, as 1t has in the past, in no relief to the taxpayers and no relief from war"
 Both Secretary Hughes and Senator Borah are delieved to have had in mind the provision in the call for the Washington conference by President Harding for consideration of Pa cific problems by the conferccs It would seem that Secretary Hughes remarks would require no application to make them convnc ing. Yet there are many, apparently, who crit icisr him for wanting to remove the strongest argument that has been advanced against abandoning the construction program of the navy department
 It would seem so plain that to remove the cause for armament would be the best and most satisfactory step toward disarmament that it is difficult to conceive of just ground 10 criticsc the administration for wanting to get d satisfactory basis for settlement of Pa ciic problems. Senator Borah knows, or ought to know, as the New York World and the other critics of the administration actions ill this matter know or ought to know, that Japan's foreign policy for many years has been aggressive one of acquisition by force or threat of force. She has come out of every war ste has been in, and she has been in three oI lh,m ill recent times, with more Chinese territory.
 It was to meet just such conditions as those ill the Pacific that the League of Nations was urged, but the United States, China and the Tar Eastern Republic, or Siberia, are not in the League of Nations, and its machinery for the settlement of disputes is not available in the Orient. President Harding and Secretary Hughes are doing the only sensible thing, the only safe thing, when they ask that the Pacif- ic problems shall be considered at the Wash lngtCn conference. proper adjustment of them s likely to have very important nfIu- cnce on the question of disarmament It is probably desirable that it should havo.-Jun- eau Empire

THE PREVENTION OF DISEASE

The prcsidelt of the Rockefeller Founda tion declares that the goal of modern medical men should be prevention of disease rather than its cure. In this he will discover him self in agreement with the Chinese, who om- ploy their physicians to keep them well, which sometimes results unfortunately for the phys ican
 But the idea here is sound. It is reasonable to believe that greatest good could result from training physic' ans in the knowledge of di- scase prevention. However, the thought sug gests itself that the idea might be developed in manner th would work evil rather than good Communities, states and the nation never should bo permitted to occupy the pres ent position of congress- which defines what is and what is not medicine. The public health should not increasingly be intrusted to the public authorities. As asserted by this au- thority, about so per cent of the menace to life is not dealt with by public authorities "The idea of prevention will have limited in fluencc until it is accepted, not merely as d government policy but as guiding principle in individual lives.'
 But the multiplication of health officers and sanitary engineers never will assnre, as it is said, hygienic millennium. Application of cumulative preventive knowledge could do wonders, but something more than that s needed We probably never shall reach a time when We can do without doctors; we need them all, doctors of the mind, the spirit and thn body.
 The authority quoted concludes: "Educa- tion of whole communities and nations, chang es of habits of thought, new attitude toward disease and toward medical service, are essen tiaI conditions Of 1rOo1,nCc
 They are our racial differences, our mani fold socaIlcd disease manifestations necessarily are not biological so much as psychological and cultural Hence disease prevention we'll might receive greater attention at the hands of the members of the great profession of medicine as well as at the hands of all others who assume to heal sick bodies and souls; for curing and healing, after all, must be regarded as superficial, while prevention promises rctection.-Cincinat Empire

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ROBBED HAIR!

Bobbed hair is not dignified, in the opinion of Marshall Field X Co.,, of Chicago, the lat est recruits to the employers campaign against the fashion, and the girl who refuses 10 wear her crown of glory in the time-hon- ored manner will have to go. "@''.a'.''
 If Marshall Field & Co.,, or any other com pany employing girls, can think of a more sensible innovation among the hundreds adop- ted yearly by their employees than the GUS tom of bobbing the hair, they have been more observant of passing styles than the average citizen. The wonder is that more women have not rebelled earlier against the less sanitary and less comfortable mode so long in vogue. Bobbed hair is easy to comb, easy to wash, cooler in summer, impossible to disarrange and not disagreeable to look at. To possess it is to share with men in a degree the freedom from the necessity of protracted labor in front of mirror which has given the male decd-

ed advantage in commercial and industrial competition. 1t removes one more of the bar riers to physical activity which were raised against women during the so-called age of chiv airy. Even the Chinese are abandoning the practice of footbinding. The American girl should be allowed to wear her hair bobbed if she likes it.
 In essence the attempt to control women's styles is only one more evidence of the rule of Mrs. Grundy and the various leagues for the suppression of personal liberty in this our moral age. Whatever is new is wrong in their eyes, But when it happens to be sensible it will probably win out anyway-New York world.

Through a Woman's Eyes
By JEAN NEWTON
Is II Worth the Price?

So this woman must go through life
behind this mask OF youth sitting the
youth which was left in her heart that
would express itself in laughter and
smiles.
Is the price worth paying?
Life has many joys at fifty that are
unknown to twenty five. The years
that take from us one thing bring other
compcnsations. But can there be any
compensation for the loss Of all hope Of
laughter and the power TO smile?
There IL charm in a young face but
can it be greater than the charm in a
young laugh? And can there De either
charm or beauty In any face that does
not smile?
No.
For me, give me the years, rich, full.
with all their give and take, and
through oil the laughter that I myself
can keep young without artificial aid.
SO, shall always be young-much
younger than with only an unsmiling
beauty of the skin.
