after romance, classic and best seller
and pure drivel, is sucked into her
gluttonous young mind, and still
each Friday night finds her at the
public library eager for more. 1t

statisticians loose on her to find out
how many dozens of star-eyed

in the course of her reading period
and to know just how long the
spasm lasts. Some take FIVE years,
some ten. Only few are. born with
that discrimination for both life and
literature which enables them to dis
card the piffie after the first taste.
Most of them simply grow up. And
life itself takes care of the novel

this matter. This withdrawal, equiv
alent to failure, discouraged the
revolutionary government Of Bolivia,
which at that time was trying to be
recognized by Chile. Chile made no
objection to this recognition when the
revolutionary government of Bolivia
stated that 1t would respect all the
existing treaties"
This made 1t seem as IL Bolivia no
longer had the intention Of asking for
. revision Of the treaty Of 1904. But 1t
was not SO.
The rest Of the story Is already
known. The League Of Nations stated
that Bolivia's claim could not be
needed. And common sense showed
that IL that treaty were revised inter-
national treaties and relations would
cease to exist.
We do not need to invoke the Mon
roe Doctrine nor to appeal to the au-
thorities in this matter to make it
understood that common sense and in
ternational ethics support the League
Of Nations and Chile, when they de-
clare the Bolivian theory of revision
inadmissible.
If the league accepts the principle
that every country has the right to
possess seaports, France should give
some Of them to Switzerland and to
Luxembourg. And If it accepts the
right to revise peace treaties, France
must concede this right to Austria,
Germany and Turkey.
American public opinion should real
lie chat Bolivia is not agitating d.
rectly the Tacna-Arica question, but
that Of the Treaty Of 1904, which does
not affect the Chile-Peru problem It
must also realize that Tacna and africa
are not regions Of nitrate fields or
mines; that the railway from africa
to La Paz was finished in 1918, and
has been in operation since then with
out any interruption, and finally. that
Chile is disposed, as it has always been
in the past, to concede to Bolivia hopes
for bettsr conditions provided that the
p1ebiscite Of Tacna and africa favors
Chile.

Women Ernmortals

A rumor got about Paris recently
that Nine. Aarel, woman of letters,
had announced her candidacy for

a false rumor. Nine. Aurel denied it
in letter to lie Petit Journal
which will cause many to regret, as
she does herself, that the brilliant
idea Of being candidate had never

Why not woman immortal? The
official function of the academy is to
revise the French dictionary. This
work progresses with Olympian de-
liberation. Wouldn't the enlistment
of few photographers Of the more
restless sex encourage the French
public to hope that the last word in
the Z section Of the dictionary will
be classically defined before the end
Of the century?
Nine. Aurel gives several good
reasons why the Forty should open
their doors to women. Women, she
says, have given language the great
er part of it's SAVIOR. They are the
best letter writer's; they have fun
damental instinct of style; they are
less. prejudiced against the use of
new words which meet new needs.
Says this observing critic of aca-
de1nic traditions:
"A one-sex academy Is out of date.
Woman lives in the present. In our
T academy she will represent life and
youth, supplencss and tact, without
which there is no style. Only when
it is mixed will the academy be really

Richelieu, the old fogies say, never
thought Of that. But who can say
that if he were alive now he wouldn'ss

Beyond the sea;
Her shores with stores Of memories xich

Still wait for me,
Yet need only close my eyss

Where days delight to night still clings,
And shadows falling like dream
Along some Andalusian stream
That sleeps and sings;
And can feel the airs that steal
Like heavy bees above some garden wall
Where orange trees stand tall and Ill
Their gold reveal.
And watch the hours like flowers that

Tho Tribune Criticized for Saying
Ulster Wishes No Home Rule
TO the Editor Of the Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial on Ulster to-day,
like others that preceded It, is far from
true statement Of simple facts.
You say: "Ulster, rs is well known,
has not wished for Home Rule" The
very opposite Is, in fact, we'll known,
since even before the advent of Sim
Fein the majority Of listers repre-
sentatives in the imperial Parliament
were uniformly Home Rulers. speak,
Of course, Of the real province of
Ulster, not the artificial Ulster re-
Gently created by act Of Parliament.
The facts regarding the province
Of Ulster are as follows. OF it's nine
counties Ave donegal, Cavan, Fer
managh, Monaghan and Tyrone) are
absolutely opposed to any partition Of
Ireland. Londonderry, If plebiscite
were taken, would certainly throw in
her lot with these 1--WE counties, al
though the voting would be close. The
remaining three counties (Antrim,
Down and Armagh), and these only,
desire continued union with England.
So much for the real Ulster. Let
IA now consider the new 'Ulster,"
which is simply fiction created by
English statesmen to throw dust In
the eyes Of the outside world and Zap
parently) editorial writer's.
AS it would never do to confess that
only three OF the nine counties In
Ulster (ard Of the thirty-two in ire
land) desired continued union with
England, three others were added with
out imperiling the general majority
rolled up by the great urban popuia-
ton Of the Belfast district Chat Is, Ia
Antrim and DOWN.. Lloyd George has
been challenged repeatedly to hold 8
plebiscite in these counties, but has
/, always refused, knowing the inevi-
table outcome
However. editorial writer's continue
to ignore these plain facts, they can
not be ignored by President de Valera
or other responsible Irish statesmen,
and those of US who hope for a final
solution Of this age-long problem
ground their confidence In the fact
that the approaching conference will
get down to bed rock, and have done
with tho fctions propagated to gull
the outside qualifications which have
always in the past called into ques-
ton. che sincerity Of those purporting
to find solution for the problem on
such an unsubstantial basis.

Who Reads Novels :?

Is it the woman in the hammock
whose taste for the happy ending
has "debauched" American hest
sellers, or is it the man in the
smoker chuckling over the exploits
of Tarzan?
1t is a close contest between the
Tired Business Man and the Feni-
nine Nuisance, recently pilloried by
Joseph Hergesheimer as the cause
of the woeful state of ficticn. Both,
Of course, are guilty of an enormous
consumption Of saccharine and virile
characters. At the present moment,
however, the Feminine Nuisance has
bit the better Of it and the last
word, through an ardent young
champion, Frances Noyes Hart,
winner of the second prize in the
0. Henry Short Story Contest last
spring.
She makes the point in the cur
rent "Bookman" that while there
IS doubtless an enormous reading
OF inferior novels among the "ham-
mock-swung and chocolate-fed,"
there is a corresponding devotion
to staggering virility among read
ers who are subway swung and
Pullman fed; but that for the class
of women who are alert and appre-
ciative for the best in modern litera-
ture there is no corresponding class
of men readers; that the work of
Wells and Walpole, and even Herges-
heimer, would perish unread were
it not for the interchangeable and dis.
eliminating and unappreciated
woman. 80
"Men Of the same intellectual
caliber, leisured or harnessed tc
work, do not read the modern novel
of the better class" she says. ''They
are fearful of experimenting with
strange food and drink. They viii
read anything from Pater to Pepys
from AEschylus to Addison, rather
than risk modern novel. The only
men who read modern novels of ths
better class are those who write
them, or write about them, OF
market them"

The Conference Program

Although there is not, and there is
not likely to he, any fixed program
Tor the International Conference on
the Limitation of Armament, some
thing approximating to q plan Of
business seems slowly maturing.
Without attempting to say which
will be considered first or which will
be rated as the most important, it
seems probable that the conference
will attack its single problem (name-
~, the lessening of the danger of
war;, from three directions:
/. Limitation. both on land and
sea, of the ornaments of the confer
ring powers. Our government,
through Secretary Hughes, has COM
nlltted itself to the principle that
ever-increasing armament, besides
creating an intolerable economic bur
den, in itself increases the probable
ity of war explosions.
2. A removal of specific causes of
possible war, especially in the do
main of the Pacific. These disturb
the relations Of the great powers.
As to these matters there is
tendency to follow the diplomatic
technique Of Lansdowne, in behalf of
Great Britain, and Delcasse, in be-
half Of France, when these ministers
set about the task of so disposing of
disputes of long standing as to lay
foundation for the informal alli
ance and understanding known as
the entente coadiale.
3. The establishment of a concert
among the nations that won the re-
cent war which would not only pre-
vent strife among them, but give as
surance that should another great
danger arise they would again be
found working together This is the
association of nations which Presi-
dent Harding has much at heart. He
recognizes, as an increasing number
are compelled to do, that, however
helpful the Geneva League may be
In the way of organizing machinery
for the solution Of justiciable contro-
versies, political controversies are
too delicate for nations to surrender
in advance liberty of decision and
action. So, If the President has
made himself understood, he would
have the association loose and un-
alarming to national sensibilities
while at the same time strong.
An entente cordiole among the
great powers and further develop
ment of what may be called the
Hague plan of progressively defining
and indicating rights-to these ends
the farseeing Harding Hughes policy
is steadily working, and these ends,
if secured, will make the task Of the
disarmers easy.

"A Great Civic Event"

In the last twelve months record
Of flapdoodleism is there anything
comparable with Wednesdays edi-
torial in "The Times" on the reopen
ing Of the city's schools?
With the school system bankrupt;
with the parents of 100000 children
distracted by the prospect Of caring
for them and keeping them off the
streets because there are no seats;
with $4,000 teachers confronted not
only by the heart-breaking task of
teaching overcrowded classes and
carrying out double schedules, but in
addition by the grim fact that they
may have to struggle along until
January on part pay or no pay at
all; with proud and generous city
about to garner this bitter, bitter
harvest of Hylanism and with no
hope of relief save through the proc
esses of time, the November election
or the invocation of the states power
Of official removal, "The Times's"
viewpoint encompasses no more than
"a Great Civic Event"
Says the news in The Tribune:
"The most distressing situation in
the history Of the Board Of Education
Will be witnessed when the public
schools open their doors next Monday.
The forecast to be drawn from
yesterdays registration is that one
child out Of every eight in this city
will be without seat on full time
through the Indifference Of Mayor
Hylan and his Hearst-Tammany-con-
trolled administration. In
stead of 10000 pupils being placed on
part time instruction in elementary
schools, there will be at least $4,000,
and the probability is that this num-
Der will have reached the 100000
mark by the end of December"
But such things are beyond "The
Times's" editorial ken. With them it
has no concern. Only great civic
events count in it's scheme. 1t speaks
"There is no civic event comparable

Anti Daylight Saving

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There will be widespread relief
on the last Sunday Of this month when
the state daylight saving law ceases,
and the ordinary citizen be no longer
vexed in having 60 keep two sorts Of
time, nor made to get up In the dark
for several more weeks Of the year,
for the great majority Of people rise
at a. m. which, by daylight saving
time, is S. Now, all through Septem-
Der and for part Of August such rising
hour is half an hour OF mors before
sunrise.
To save daylight is, Of course, com
mendable. and prudent people have
always done SO, but is 1t right to med
die with the clock or the sun and dis
turb settled habits?
1t Is easy to claim that the daylight
saving law is popular, but, If so, why
did the last Congress repeal the ma
tional law by such an emphatic ma
jority, while the new Congress has
shown 10 inclination to revive it, and
what has become OF the bill for ap-
plying that law to the Easteza time
zone, as its propagandists confidently
asserted last spring would soon be en-
acted?
Like much other legislation growing
out Of tho great war, the daylight saw
ing law has since lost much OF it's sup
port People are tired Of having their
daily life regulated.

and Peru, Which Have Led to the Present Conflict

commercial centers Of Bolivia. Many
millions Of Chilean money have been
invested In its mines, and even Chilean
teachers 60 to teach In the schools Of
La Paz, while the University Of Chile
and the Military School of Santiago
house q large number Of Bolivian
youths as the guests Of Chile.
When this treaty was signed nobody
In tho world protested against It except
Peru, on account of tho proposed con-
struction Of the AFRICA railway. All
America and Europe considered 1t
step Of progress in international order.
The Unexpected Happens
It would never have occurred to the
nations Of both continents, therefore,
that Bolivia would one day deny recogni-
ton Of treaty that had already been
in force for fifteen years, and against
which no moral or material objection
had since been made.
But, as the unexpected frequently
happens in international politics, day
the horizon. Peru, which had long
claimed this Same region of Tacna and
africa, announced that it would take
the question before the League Of Ma
lions and would ask for a revision Of
the Treaty Of Ancon, which put an end
| to the war between Peru and Chile in
1883.
At the same time Peru exercised its
influence on the Chauvinist element Of
Bolivia to convince 1t that Bolivia
ought also to ask for q revision Of it's
treaty Of 1904 with Chile. In this way
they would reduce Chile to its narrow
boundaries prior to 1879.
So we'll did the Peruvian agents and
the Peruvian press operate in Bolivia
that q revolution soon ousted the gov
eminent Of La Paz, thus interrupting
the pacific development Of an admira-
bly, governed country. The Peruvian
action was due to the fact that the
Bolivian government was carrying on
q successful campaign in Paris, near
the A,ou4cIcuCS VI VERSAILLES, IOE tlR
recognition of tho historical rights OF
Bolivia over Tacna and africa, Bolivia's
natural outlet TO the sea, which the
Liberator Bolivar himself had assigned
to that country.
After the revolution, when the reins
of the Bolivian government had faller
into the hands of the Peruvianophils
faction, politics took the course OF
convincing the people In 1920 that the
League Of Nations would rescind the
treaty of 1904 and that Bolivia had 6
marvellous chance to regain Antofa
gasta, which 1t had granted to Chile IL
that treaty.
In the session Of 1920 Of the League
Of Nations Peru independently pre-
scented the case Of Tacna and africa
but it had to withdraw its demands, a,

Says the news Of the day in The

During last term high school
teachers were nearing physical break
down as a result of the tremendous
strain to which they were subjected.
According to experts in educa-
tional matters, it will be a miracle II
there is not a complete collapse in
the morale of the teaching staff.
Teachers will be compelled in some
cases to continue their task in build
a decade ago, and, as in the case of
the notorious Julia Richman High
School, building that Is firetrap."
But our teachers must not break
down. They must not fail the human
race. They must ignore the fact
that there are such buildings as the
Julia Richman High School. Not
for a moment must they let their
thoughts dwell on overcrowded
classes or on children running the
streets because there are no seats
for them, or on unpaid rent and
household bills or on the wreckage
wrought by Hylanism.
Let them remember only that they
are participants in great civic

doubt assail them they have but to
