This is the season when Old
Mother Nature pauses to count the
cost of her hospitality in welcoming
back to her broad bosom every prodi-
gal son who longed to repent for his
months misspent in subway and
salesroom. All summer she opened
her arms to him. Her fields lay open
for his delight; her cool waters crept
through her woodlands.
Yet it looks as if some one had
been getting too close to Nature. A
proper amount of reserve is fitting
in ones dealing with so magnificent
an old lady. One does not throw
bottles at ones mother. There comes
time when ferns no longer grow
tall enough to hide the rusty tomato
cans, when healing grasses no longer
cover the egg shells and when sap
lings cruelty torn down for autumn
leaves no longer spring back as if it
didn't matter. Mother Natures pa
thence becomes exhausted.
An example Of nervous break down
on the part of Mother Nature is OBJ
servable on the Palisades. 1t is only
few years since the Interstate Park
was opened to the public, but already
the violets and gentler wood flowers
have vanished, the banks show bare
beneath the trees and every shell
tered corner has it's heaps of rubbish.
Hordes of prodigals, tired of wasting
their substance in hotels, have sought
the roadside for their pillow and the
grassy places for their dining tables.
Already the trail of the new tourist
across the continent is being blazed
with blackened outdoor fireplaces
and heaps of garbage insufiiciently
buried.
1t is time for propaganda in the
etiquette of returning to Nature. The
reunion should be tender and deco
rous. 1t is not necessary to Jump and
scream in the old lady's lap, nor pull
her hair. Indeed, it should not be
allowed, not alone out of respect for

treated his enlargement jocularly. He
wrote funny articles about it, for, in
deed, he did not really believe that he
was fat. "When you start getting fat"
Mr.. Cobb observes, "you start getting
fatuous." Eventually a set of scales in
railway station gave him the bad
news, and he decided to reform himself.
The medicine balls and flying rings
Of the gymnasiums did him no good.
The eminent dietitians called in con-
sultation. disagreed about everything
except the ACCESSIBILITY of spinach. So
Mr.. Cobb took his case in his own
hands, and for the first breakfast of
his new life ordered boiled prunes.
coffee with hot milk and saccharin
tablets, dry toast and one egg. For
luncheon he took more dry toast, re-
duced portion of boiled tongue and a
raw apple. BY o'clock in the after
noon, he says, he felt like a conch
she'll on parlor whatnot,, giving forth
murmurous sound as of distant sea
waves. At dinner he ate clear soup, q
smallish slice of rare roast beef cut
shaving thin, gluten bread sparsely
buttered, cloud Of watercress no
bigger than mans hand, another raw
apple and q bit of domestic cheese.
Continuing his sacrifices. he found
that within few days they were sacri-
Ices no longer, and after month he
was losing between two and three
pounds a week.
Here are the things which Mr.. Cobb,
in his ambition to trim himself to 1876.
has balshed from his refectory: All
the cereals, nearly all the white bread,
all the hot bread, practically all the
pastries except very light pastries,
white potatoes absolutely, rice to q
large extent, sausages and fresh pork
and nearly all the ham, cream in cof-
fee and on fruits and the starchier
vegetables. His consumption of butter
and Of cheese and of nuts he has cut
ene-third and of meats one-half. He
eats freely of fowl, fish, berries, fruits
and vegetables. "My advice" he con-
cludes, ITO the man or woman who is in
the same fix as was in is to 20 and
do likewise, with variations to suit the
individual temperament. 1t means self
denial, but self-denial persevered in is
virtue. I feel bully and Pm
happy about it and boastfully proud.
Three rousing cheers for lithesome
grace regained!" There is more fun in
"one-third Off" than there is propa-
ganda; and it contains also some
graphic word pictures, ore of which is
of William ). Bryan at breakfast.

Hopes of the Conference
An Open Letter From Pro-Leasus
Women to Secretary Hughes

September II, 1921.
Hon. Charles E. Hughes, Washington,
D. C.
Dear Sir: The board Of the Woman's
Pro-League Council, sitting in execu.
tive session, voted to send a resolution
offering to cooperate with the Ad-
ministration to make the coming Con-
ference on the Limitation of Arma.
ment successful.
The board feels, however, that tina
success of the conference will rest
largely upon the defniteness with which
the United States outlines the con-
ference's aims. We note with regret,
therefore, that the agenda forwarded
by the United States to the visiting
nations have called forth the comment
that they are not sufficiently specific.
We realize the difficulties OF tbs
situation and particularly the fact that
the hostess nation does not wish to
appear to dictate.
At the same time we believe that
the hopes Of the world in regard to
the accomplishment of this conference
are very definite and clear. These
hopes, we believe, are: First, that the
conference may result in a genuine
naval holiday of all nations for at
least two years, to give the world .
breathing space to lift its war-bent
shoulders; and, second, that an inter-
national organization may be formed
to preserve world peace. Such an ac-
complishment will help stabilize the
world and make America a true samari-
tan to the bleeding nations.
In expressing these hopes we feel
that we are stating the desire Of many
women, not only those organized to
support international cooperation, like
the women of the Woman's Pro-League
Council, but also a larger body OF
womanhood, unorganized as yet, but
filled with the anti-war spirit With al
good wishes, we remain, yours very
truly,
EXECUTIVE BOARD, WOMAN'S PRO-
LEAGUE COUNCIL,
MRS. FRANK DAY FUTILE,
Chairman.

A Chinese Protest
To the Editor of The Tribune,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The play called "The Poppy
God" gives most erroneous rspresen-
tation Of Chinese life.
The main features of this play are
these: Opening personal letter, ruth
lessly declining assistance to friend in
grave difficulty, and shamefully per-
suading foreigner to smoke opium. I.
however, have never heard Of or read
about such misconduct, nor has any
other Chinese heard of or known such
an unworthy Chinese. c. II. LIN.

New York, Sept. 81, 1921.

[Ledoux may have done all the
things mentioned by Mr.. Barnard
and be entitled therefor to reverent
admiration; nevertheless we see no
reason to modify the opinion that
when he put men, stripped to the
waist, on an auction block and sold
them as slaves he degraded these
men. Not by making show of
ones fellow creatures, not by slay-
ing their self-respect, is help given
or courage put into human hearts.

"Degrading Men
George Grey Barnard Bears Witness
to Ledoux's Warm Heart

to Ledoux's Warm Heart
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your standing before the
American public is too high to permit
a grave error, heralded in the
columns Of yesterdays paper, to go un-
confessed.
I refer to the editorial "Capitalizing
Misery" which brands Urban Ledoux
as heartless degrader of his fellow
man. This is as far from the truth
as to say that Lincoln wanted to make
capital of the slaves, or Christ to make
capital of the Cross.
1t is because I believe that il you
had known the truth of Ledoux's work
you and your paper would have been
his advocate and defender that I am
writing this protest.
Why should editors with all the
power of research write blindly? Le-
doux took upon his souls duty the
message of Christ and the doctrine
Of democracy. He it was who seven
years ago, with his last dollars, rented
bare room in the dock district of the
Sums, with his last pennies bought
candles, stuck them with their drip
pings to the stone floor, and then in
the bitter December night went forth
to find his fallen brother by the way
side. The first night. my friend
editor, he brought in upon his
shoulders four of the freezing "Down
and Outs"-his brothers freezing on
the streets Of our city. Who cared?
You and were in our warm beds. So
were millions of brothers, but not Lee
doux. He placed these men between
the candles for warmth, covered them
with his very clothing, walked beside
them till daylight to keep warm, then
washed their clothes from vermin and
dirt.
Would the hand that in ignorance
wrote "Capitalizing Misery" do this
labor of brotherly love for his fellow
men? Yet with your hand that could
never brave such humility you stamp
in black print for all to read that this
man Ledoux is degrader of his fell
low men, heartless, soulless! God
help you and our country when such
errors come upon war-martyred
world!
But God cannot help you or me ex-
cept as we help each other toward true
democracy through brotherly love.
am confident you will accept this
in the great cause.

Meadows dived he was probably

sank as soon as he hit the water.
The body was sent to Fireco for
burial Monday.
