Beautiful Example
Of a Simple
Kindness

Real kindness comes from, the
heart.
1t may be expressed via the
pocketbook, but it doesn't start
there.
1t may cali for hours of service,
but it is greatly more than expendi-
ture of time.
Most kindnesses are very simple
acts; most of them pass unnoticed.
But all OF them spring from the
heart, from an unselhsh thought.
A most beautiful example Of simple
kindness is found at the home OF
Miss Jessie Millard. For FIVE years
Miss Millard has had a watering
trough for horses in front of her
place. This year she had a tank
Installed. 1t holds Is gallons and
is filled three times a day. The ice
man, the milk man, the grocery boy,
the casual driver, all stop at this re-
freshing stand.
Do the horses know the trough is
there? Do they care?
Last week a grocery boy drove
Up across the street to make de-
liveries. While he was in the house,
the horses pulled over to the tank,
drank deeply and returned to their
post awaiting the youthful driver.
This kindness which comes from
the heart does not weary of we'll
doing. Miss Millard (who is a mem
ber OF the Humane society, is as
faithful and husias tic about
keeping the tank filled as she was
the first summer the trough was
there.
Is the tank a great expense: Does
i call for considerable time?
Neither.
For it is kindness.
And real kindness, you know.
Comes from the heart.

His wife. looking like a gorgeous

She returns after lunching at some

Mr.. Easily declared that the pub
lie had been deceived when it was
told that high wages were the
cause of high prices. Profits, he
said, were the real cause of high

POWERS TO TALK
DISARMAMENT

New York, May 4-The time Is op-
perfume for a conference among Great
Britain, Japan and the United States
on reduction of naval ornaments,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, former assist
ant secretary Of the navy, declared in
an address here tonight on "A Prac-
teal Plan for World Disarmament
He spoke at the disarmament dinner
of the newly organized Women's Pro-
League Council.
81 believe further he said, that
in spite of all sorts of nonsense which
has been written on the subject,
Great Britain would be willing and
even glad to agree with US that for a
short space of time. let us say over a
period of five years, no new vessels
should be laid down. 1 suggest pur-
posely that the existing vessels now
under construction should be left out
of the argument, because Of the very
diverse opinions which exist as to
whether or not it would really saws
money TO stop their construction
While little was known, he said. as
to Japan's position on the suggestion
of naval holiday for a short period
of years, he asserted that if Great
Britain and the United States were in
agreement in the matter it would
seem probable that Japan could and
should properly join with them. He
explained the short term of years was
suggested only because world. condi-
tions are such and the position of the
United States is such that to make
more definite arrangements would in
yolve considerations affecting the
League of Nations
The United States still maintains on
its list about 25 pre-dreadnaught bat

large number of armored and protect
ed cruisers all of them built more

which are out of date.

Washington, May 4-Disapproval
of pending legislation to throw open
the army retired list to emergency
officers injured or incapacitated in

letter sent today to Captain Victor
Heintz, a former emergency officer.
Copies of the communication were
transmitted to Representatives John

Mr. Weeks said he was in favor
of adequate compensation for such
officers through the war risk insur-
ance bureau and would look with
favor on any reasonable or necessary
modification of the war risk insur-
ance act if it did not provide the
generous compensation I have men
toned"
Emergency officers, ne added, in
jured in the service, should be gen.
erously compensated on the basis Of
the injury sustained whereas the re-
tired list provided compensation on
the basis of rank and length Of SER
vice without regard to the extent
of the injury. He also said that to
extend the privilege Of the retired
list to the emergency officers alone
would work hardship on wounded
enlisted men.
