tional conference to consider armament limitation. II proves to the
Wilson mind, they say, that the worlds need for mutual action has
been forced upon the present administration.
There has never been any doubt OF the need Tor mutual action
President Harding recognized it during the campaign last year. The
men who fought the effort to force adoption of the League OF Nations
upon this country recognized it. But there was a mighty doubt as to
the form that mutuaity of action should take. Opponents OF the
League of Nations didn Z believe that mutual action would result from
the covenant of the League of Nations as Nh. Wilson brought Il home
and, is many now believe, it was prepared for hs conveyance by
those who utterly outclassed him in the art and science OF the treaty
table.
In AN Associated Press dispatch in Tuesday, Herald was the
bland announcement that the premier of Great Britain aud the pre-
mier of France, in private conference, had agreed upon aud submit

the United States been bound under the conditions of the league, to

No one knows what the outcome of the conference President
Harding has called will be. II is fairly certain that bound as tins ma

WE SHOULD SAY SO

AFTER the Capper Tincher bill TO regulate grain exchanges had
n passed the senate, the president of the Chicago board Of trade
. = announced that the grain exchanges would bow to the great
force of public opinion We should say that ii took quite a consid-
cradle force TO ehcit that bow.
Mr.. Griffin added that the senate amendments had removed from
the bill "many unfair and burdensome conditions" We should say
so. Al this distance II looks as il a bill that started out to be a meas
ue to regulate gambling in grain had wound up by being a bill TO
require gamblers 90 60 TO a lot of expense in keeping books and the
government to go to a lot of expense in inspecting them. Still It shows
that congress. on q show down, is stronger than the grain exchanges,
and that is more progress than has ever been made in this direction
before. So a gain has been made.

The next morning, when he was not
wearing the tie, he met Cynthia in
the street. Her manner was cold, to
say the least.
The final blow was the matter of
the haircut. Ralph had in~cautiously
remarked that his hair was growing
long.
Don't have it cut said Cynthia.
Il don't want you to look like a com
mon business man without poetry or
individuality. I want you to look like
An artist. There, the secrets out.
Ralph, promise me you'll let 1t curl

Ralph Blair drew himself up firmly.

derstand one another. l am not going
to be a poet. am going to be a tele-
phone man. And l am not going to
look like Byron. Byron was a slOb. !
am going t. have my hair cropped
and l am going to wear a black tie
until l get tired, and then l shall
switch off to any color l choose. Now
dear, l don't want to be harsh, but
YOU must choose between Byron and

her face in her hands. Overcome with
remorse he gently withdrew them

FOUND IN OUR
EXCHANGES
Keeping P. o. Costs Up.

Yesterday morning our mail brought
us some Is government envelopes con-
tanning publicity matter sent out from
various bureaus and most Of it hit the
wastebasket without even being
opened.
We were too busy to open it n
under the costs laid down by the ex-
perts on expenses we would have been
out about 81 actual coin to have hired
it opened and so it went into the waste
paper basket. :,
It costs about IS cents to write each
letter, when a business house gets one
out. Postage and envelopes and paper
undoubtedly represent a or 5 cents ex-
penditure on the part of the govern
ment, so that it is safe to say that
Uncle Sam, not counting the time of
the excess employees who got out the
publicity matter, spent at least 81
cents to send us those letters.
Hundreds of thousands of institu-
lions in the country must have receiv-
ed a like number and as the flow
keeps up from day to day the annual
cost must have run into the million
mark.
Will H. Hays, the efficient post
master general, has cut down the flow
somewhat, we believe, over what il
was a year ago, but as the evil comes
from all sorts of government depart
ments, nothing short of an act o
congress could reduce it to the prop

MUSKRAT IN TERRAPIN ROLE
Professor Reveals Secret on Finding
. Bones Of Fur.Bearer in Turtle (.
. Dish at Lunch. .

Only an absent-minded science per-
son would have put bones from the
terrapin stew into his pocket, instead
Of on his plate.
"NOw, isn't that just like a bone
turning specialist?" said his host gen.
tally, turning to the group of servants
whom he was entertaining at luncheon
at a leading hotel, according to the
New York Sun. IF I thought that
you wanted a skeleton of one of the
diamond backs, l would have had the
chef save one for you, shell and ALL"
The science person stirred ~uneasily
In his chair.
Sorry" he ruminated. Didn't
realize it. Not a good luncheon trick.
Silence and social graces don't go to-
gether, do they? Such remarkable
bones for a terrapin stew that l want
ed to study them"
Come, now, speak up, professor,
what kind of anatomy was 1t? Baby
dinOsaur?"
"Oh, no." the professor said. "Such
terrapin are raised for the market
is considerable quantity In Dorchester
county, Maryland. Their fur is also
highly esteemed"
Right then and there something was
started. The head waiter was sent
for, and when pressed for details, said

PULL HARD AND TOGETHER

am often reminded in these days
of reconstruction of a story I have
heard several times of three men in
a boat, a huge husky fellow, a small
man and a practical chap. The boat
was leaking badly, the waves were
threatening and the chances of reach,
ing shore safely were rather low when
the big fellow suddenly said, "Boys,
/ am going to pray" The practical
man looked at him for an instant and
answered, "No you won't; you row
and let the little fellow pray"
There's quite a lesson in this little
story for all of us.
There are plenty of people in the
world to do the wishing and praying
for better times and conditions but
the greatest need is for the chap who
knows how to row and keep on row
ing. When one man rows we drift a
little less and each additional man
who rows adds to the impetus and
progress of our business craft. There
isn't much room in the business boat
today for anyone but rowers so if you
know how to row, pull hard and if you
don't learn how and add your weight
to the pull ahead movement. Dead
weight is a hindrance to any business
craft and must be thrown overheard
sooner or later.

that he was quite sure that the dia-
mOnd backs had come direct from Bal
timore. The steward came next.
"Well," he said finally, "do you sup
pose there is enough terrapin raised
in this country to supply all the no
tells? I should say not"
The bones which the professor had
disinterred We're those of a muskrat,
for in the county Of Dorchester musk
rats are raised in large quantity not
only for their fur. but also as terra
pin par excellence. The dark brown
flesh Is not unlike that Of the land
tortoise. Muskrats are clean feeders
when they have u chance and before
they are killed for the terrapin mar.
ket they are carefully fattened on the
choicest materials. Only recently In
n of the French magazines there
was an article on the diamond back
In which due credit was given to the
County de Dorchester" In America,
for producing such an excellent sub
stitute for q costly delicacy.

DON'T BE A SNOW-SHOVEL
STACKER

Winter got an early start this year,
thus giving an alibi to the snow-shove
slackers.
The early snowfall caught them I'M
prepared and the chances are that it
will thaw off before the permanent
SHOWS come-that is about the sort OF
auto-camouflage that the sidewalk
slackers are using to excuse their neg
ligence.
A hair from the left hind leg of a
common house-fly is a pretty small
thing, but it is big enough for three
slackers to hide behind in the fond
delusion that they + wholly con-
cealed. They fool nobody but them
selves.
There is only one consolation-the
householder who habitually neglects
to clean his walks cannot conceal his
negligence, but tells the world just
what he is.

LEARN TO LOOK FOR THE GOOD

A publisher, about to sell the writ
ings of a noted American solder, in
book form, advertises it's contents as
"the shame of the world" In other
words, it is deemed attractive, for
money-making purposes, to blazon
over the country the fact that the
world has shame.
What's the matter with us Twenti-
eth Century folks anyway? Why is it
that so many of US Americans are al
ways knocking something, always
looking for the bad in anything, al
ways ready to believe that wrongs are
advancing on US, always suspicioning
some abomination or other?
The "shame of the world" for
sooth! Most certainly there is shame
in the world-always has been and al
ways will be as long as it is inhabited
by human people. But there is ten
thousand times more chastity, ten
thousand times more good IN this
earth than there is shame, and there
always will be-BECAUSE THIS
EARTH IS INHABITED BY DE-
CENT HUMAN PEOPLE.
Rules are made to have exceptions.
There is no rule where there is 10 X
ception. The human heart in the mass
is sound and moral and lovable. In
only the exceptional human is the
heart shameful. And that's all there
is to it.
Habit does a lot of things. Habit
will even change the heart. If it is
going to be a habit with the mass OF
us to look for shame, c%ussedness ant
general infamy, WI may be sure thai
the filth will cling to US and it ma!
even turn into a cancer affecting thu
whole.

CALL THEM BY THEIR
REAL NAME

If anybody should ask what we
think is the most crying social need OF
the times in America we'd give him
this nswer
TAKE THE ROMANCE OUT OF
STEALING.
Most of US forget one thing. Every
real male youngster growing into
mans inches carries in his bones more
or less of the spirit of recklessness,
or of adventure and daring. 1t is the
heritage of masculinity, and when di-
rected Alright by education or by ma
tural good brains in the boy himself,
it is a fine thing. But when misdl-
rected, the lad goes bad in n way
or another.
American doesn't handle thieving
as it should be handled. We make too
much of a romance out of it-anyway
something that locks like romance tc
the immature or degenerate brain o,
the thief. The trial in a crowded court
room, the stories in the papers Of des'
perate deeds, the printing of his pic
ture, are glorification to the youns
fool who has been caught.
We would prohibit by law the print
ing of a thief's name. Give him
number as O as he is arrested.
We would make it impossible TO
a "rogues' gallery"
We would have the trial occur in
barred court room.

There's an aviation show going on
in Paris at which all the very latest
things in French airplanes are ex-
hibited in a profusion that bewilders
and with a wealth of mechanical in
genuity that astounds. France does
not intend to yield supremacy in eth
er civilian or military machines to
other nations if she can help it.
Strides are being taken in both fields,
but while in the civilian branch the
movement is entirely for greater car
rying power and mammoth construc-
ton, so far as the military machines
are concerned, speed alone seems to
be the guiding factor.
One of the novelties is a flying hos
pital, equipped with stretchers and
able to carry a doctor and assistant to
perform regular operations in the air.
There is an operating table, a full
medical equipment and two patients
can be carried on stretchers. The ma
chine is equipped with stabilizing APP
planes which will enable the doctors
to work just as they were in a hospi-
tai. One aerial monster is capable of
carrying "a passengers as well as a
crew of three and able to attain a
speed of $50 kilometers an hour. 1t is
the last word in aerial comforts, con-
tanning a bathroom, smoking room,
card tables and a ~kitchenette. The
seats are so arranged that they can be
changed into beds for night voyages,

lights and signal flares, and also car,
ries a petrol reserve above the wing
tips as a solution for the fire danger
problem. And there are others, a loi
of them, with features and fixtures
not less astonishing.
The French army is represented BY
two pursuit planes of 200 horse power
each, carrying two machine guns ant
capable of developing 1870 miles ar
hour, or a rs per cent advance ove
wartime construction. The army ha:
also adopted a stretcher carrying bi
plane, with the s%tretchers arranged
lengthwise, and no provision for at
tendants, as it is designed to carry
urgent cases from the battlefields t.
the hospitals. Withal it's a big show
and, when it is recalled that the ar
of heavier-than-air aviation is les.
than 30 years old, it reveals an amaz
