Foot Ball.

While the base ball season is clos
ing. the foot ball season is making
ready for its opening. 1t may not be
casting it's shadow before, but the pre-.
liminary yells are heard, and foot ball
pictures and foot ball prophecies are
cropping up in the sport pages. Foot
ball is an ancient English sport and,
like every other sport and pastime, it
has been denounced. A search Of the
record would probably show that no
form Of exercise having in it the ele.
ment of rivalry, and no form Of recrea-
tion have escaped severe slings at their
immoral or otherwise hurtful influ-
ence.
In the reigns Of warlike English
kings many sports, such as bowls and
cricket, were forbidden by royal order.
The charge was not made that they
were immoral, but that they distract.

Conuuering the White Plague.

The health department clinic pub
fishes the hopeful and encouraging in
formation that in the District the
death rate from consumption is now
less than half what it was fifteen
years ago, and it very reasonably as
cribes the drop in the death toll of the
white plague to the progress of en-
lightenment and instruction in the
means of combating the disease.
Again the health department clinic
urges people to avoid house dust and
impure or close air day and night; to
get all the light and sunshine possible
into the home; to drink plenty of pas
teurized milk and cream, none raw;
to eat plain, nourishing food; to get
enough sleep by retiring early enough:
to avoid worry, think kindly and be
cheerful The health department
clinic says "your mind acts on your
body" 1t is also urged upon any
body who tires easily or is losing
weight, or who has persistent cough
or persistent hoarseness, to consult a
physician or go to the free health de-
partment clinic. One should observe
all preventive measures, but even if
the disease attacks, the case Is not
hopeless if the fight is begun against
it without delay.

Mr.. Bryan and the Conference.
This is from a news story in yester.

This is from a news story in yester-
days Star:
Mr.. Bryan is taking a great interest
in the armament conference, and will
be in Washington during the entire
time of the conference and will dis
cuss the situation day by day as 1t
develops.
No man will be more welcome in
town. No man is better entitled to fol-
low close up the doings Of the confer
ence. In all probability, if he could do
so, Mr.. Bryan would make it a dis
armament conference. He goes so far
on the subject of peace he is some
times referred to as the chief Of the
millennialists.
Only short time ago he was quoted
as in favor of the United States show
ing the way if the other nations re-
fused to disarm. Let Uncle Sam scrap
his fighting machine and set an ex-
ample to the world. But there was
no echo to the sentiment.
This was in keeping with Mr..
Bryan's spirit on the financial ques-
tion a quarter century ago. when he
proposed that the United States coin
silver at the ratio of Is to 1 without
the aid or consent Of any other ma
ton. The country turned down that
proposition at the polls.
The country at the polls would turn
down a disarmament proposition. We
are not ready, the world is not ready.
for such an extreme step. 1t is econ
omy, not millennialism, that explains
the Presidents conference invitation
and the avidity with which it has been
accepted. Some Of the. nations are
dead broke, while the strongest Of the
others are in financial straits.
But even the subject Of limiting
ornaments will interest Mr.. Bryan,
and mayhap give him some pointers
both for political and for chautauqua
uses.
Evening star., 1921-09-26
Length Of the Conference.

How long will the armament confer.
ence sit? Guesses range from one to
six months. At this time one guess is
about as good as another.
The question grows out Of the en-
gagements and plans of Mr.. Lloyd
George and NJ. BRAND. Both want to
|attend. But both are tethered. The
situation in both England and France
is ticklish. The man in charge must
keep his hand on the throttle.
For this reason Mr.. George, it is
stated, will remain at home. M.
BRAND still has the matter under ad.
visement.
These are among the most interest
ing of the world figures today, and
their presence would add to the inter.
est of the conference. But, Of course,
their first duty is at home, and it is
for them to decide upon their own
movements.
If the conference sticks to the text
it will have good deal to talk about;
if it travels outside it will have more.
Its life, therefore, cannot in any cir
cumstances be short, and it may be
long.
But, whatever the length, let us
hope that when the conference gets
down to business it will not hurry.
The matters at issue are such that the
delegates should not keep their eyes
on the clock or the calendar. The
world wants decisions, and wants
them of a character to stand; and as
Washington is comfortable town the
visitors are not likely to feel or obey
an urge to gallop through the business
that has brought them together.

Tonic for Faint Hearts.

To those who are downcast anC
faint nt-hearted, who are sunk deep ir
gloom as to the present and in pes
simism as to the future, one may com
mend the address President Harding
delivered this morning opening the
conference on unemployment.
There are no problems affecting
our national life and the welfare OF
the American people," he said. (which
we cannot and will not solve. If We
fail today we will try again tomor
row."
The President has little patience
with criticism which is not construc
tive. He would waste no time review
ing mistakes of the past merely fol-
the purpose Of fixing blame. Except
as they may serve as guides for the
future, he would bury past mistakes
with yesterdays 1000 years." and
go on to the new day with faith and
courage and firm resolve.
His address was just the tonic need

cred and applied quickly. 1t is no

what to do, and that in his belief some

are more to be dreaded than con-
tinued existence of present conditions.
