REMov1NG CAUSES OF WAR.

The Washington conference now
of the meeting-that of removing the
causes of war There is nothing in
bnities than the Chinese situation.
This the conference has undertaken to
adjust with indications of success.
1t will be necessary also for the con-
ference to consider the European sit
uation as regards France and Ger
many. 1t will not do to leave these
nations ready at any time to fly at
each others throat. Then there Is
Russia. She is a most difficult prob
lem owing to her size and the fact
that she is against the world.
The Balkan states have ever been
a source of war. How can they be
induced to keep the peace? Limita-
enough. There must be smaller stand
ing armies and a Limitation of forth
fications if the world is to be relieved
of the enormous tax burdens inflicted
upon it by war and threats of war.
The war and navy departments Of
the United States in the fiscal year
1s21-22 are spending moro than ST.
ISL 100000. The cost to Great Britain
of maintaining its army this year is
exceeding f95.90O,OOO. The army and
navy budgets of France total 1,472,-
100000 francs out of a governmental
expenditure of 4,7SS,000,o00 francs
this year. Japan is expanding slight
~ more than half of her 1921 appro-
priation of 1,562.OO0,0oO yen on her
naval and military establishments.
For every dollar of these ire
mendous expenditures there must be
governmental income, and barring
tariff imposts and other sources of
revenue that are almost negligible IN
the mass. the source OF this income IS
taxation-personal and corporation.
Aside from an automatic tendency
of huge appropriations to camouflage
their real economic import, there is
notable but often unnoticed ten
dency OF any national war machine to
grow; to require not only the re-
newing of old parts and their lubrica-
ton ana maintenance, but also the
constant extension of the mechanism.
Thus. even emitting our late war from
the calculations. we see that the cost
Of armament has grown steadily and
progressively since the Civil war, so
much so. in fact. that the ten-year
period from 1900 to 1909. with no war
at all, cost US nearly as much in army,
navy and pension appropriations as
did the period from 1860 to 1869,
which included the entire Civil war.
Just as soon as the average man in
America. England. France, Japan ana
other nations visualizes the real
weight of his armament burden. there
will be no question as to the outcome.

WorEd's Highest Raic Woman WrlteR,

at What Age Should Man Marry.
OF course, now and then. there is a
youthful marriage in which the man
and woman do grow up together, but
these are as scarce as hens teeth
They are matrimonial miracles that
no one can count upon, and there are
risks enough in matrimony without
mans taking a chance on what he is
going to be himself when he becomes
a man.
If YOU will observe the happy. con-
tented married couples among your
acquaintances you will take notice that
in almost everyone the man was old
enough to know what he was about
before he picked out wife. Likewise
he was old enough. and had had eX-
periepce enough, to know how to man.
age other people-how to sidestep IN
pleasant domestic situations, how to
deal fairly and justly with his wife
and how to cajole her into doing the
way he wanted her to do, instead of
bnInninr into all of the little eccen-
tricities of her temper. It takes a
mans wisdom to manage a woman.
IT'S no task for boy-babes and suck
lings.
II a man has his own way TO make
in the world an early marriage Is

ity is your pass book at the oahk.

when he commits the folly or an early
marriage. The man who has to sup
port family can save nothing out OF
small Salary. He can never get
ahead. He can never take advantage
of the opportunities that come his
way. He cannot take any risks when
the fate of his wife and children are
at stake. He is a domestic slave, let
tered to his desk and with no chahce
of freeing himself.
! 1t breaks his heart and his spirit
! He loses initiative and courage as ne
watches men of less ability outstrip
/ him in the race. And the young man
who has blighted his own prospects
| by his ill-advised marriage makes a
miserable husband because he takes
out on his wife and children his i'm
potent fury at his own folly.
A young man married is young

nance to stand any woman's peculi-
arities. and make a man feel that her
society is worth her bills, and it is
only when we are young that we can
get up that sort of altruistic feeling
about another human being. Also a
man should marry before he gets
fussy about his eating, and crochety
about having his things kept exactly
so, and acquires ways that no woman
| should be expected to stano.
By the time a man is thirty he is

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am girl
eighteen years old and have been
going with a boy who is nineteen for
over a year. We were in school
together last year and are together
again this year. We sat together almost
all the time and were together at recess
We corresponded this summer and
were together quite good deal. This
winter it is the same way.
This boy has said that he loves me
and thinks that I love him. 1 have
never cared for him and I know
never shall. After found that he was
crazy about me 1 decided to fool him
for while and have fun Do you
think I should tell him that I do not
care for him? Or do you think I
should just keep on fooling him? Did
do right in making him think that
loved him? BLUE EYES
You might know that I would say
you did not do the right thing when
you fooled him. Right the wrong
just as quickly as possible and tell him
as tactfully and kindly as you know
how that you do not love him. 1t is
degrading to submit yourself to his
love making when you feel as you do.

PRAYER TO THE GOD OF GOLF.
Oh. god OF golf, now hear my plea;
Make a fair putter out of mel
I do not ask of you too much,
The champions sure and certain touch,
The master stroke-just teach me now
To get a four-foot putt somehow.
Upon the practice green I can
Get down my ball with any man,
But when the game grows close and tense
Somehow I lose all putting sense
Teach me. I pray thee then, TO stand
As one whose brain controls the hand.
Teach me to know that never up
Is never to get in the cup -
Grant me n little sense in this.
To give the ball chance to miss:
And when the line describes a curve,
Defend me from a falteri1g nerve.
Let me be bold. as bold as they
Who win my golf balls when / play;
Teach me in every circum stance
At least to give the ball chance,
And let me hope. as other men.
To hole n long one, now and then
