is, of course, a matter Of conjecture
The question then arises. what is this coun-
try as well as Great Britain. prepared to DO TO
aid France, were she to fall in with our ideas
and reduce her army? AS Mr.. Hughes has said'
mo words ever spoken by France have fallen
upon deaf ears in the United States. That Is
literally true There is no'foreign country that
has our sympathy as has France. There Is not
the slightest doubt that, should Germany again
wantonly attack, America would be Frances
ally But the United States will never make
such treaty.
There may be differences of opinion as 10
whether or not we should enter into league
or alliance to preserve world peace, but there
is not the slightest doubt that, at the present
time, the United States will do nothing OF the
kind. mo foreign entarglements" is more
than a phrase which the Americans just now
and for any administration to attempt to ne
gotiate treaty that would commit US to send
troops to the defense Of even France, would
fail France has our sympathy. But she must
be content with that and the knowledge that
we did not fail her before and will not under
similar circumstances in the future. But there
will be no defensive alliance

Smoking By Girls.

President Harry Pratt Judson of the Uni
rTersity of Chicago has found it necessary to
have posted notices to the effect that smoking
is prohibited in the women dormitories OF that
institution. This is not going to stop smoking
among the female students, but it will at least
-preveat further pertaining OF the university's
halls with the aroma OF the cigaret Neither is
there any law against a young woman, or an
old one, for that matter enjoying her occas-
ional cigaret- In fact, if she elects, she may
enjoy her long black cigar or her wheezy corn
cob pipe
But there is moral involved The grow
ing girl ought to know that smoking first of
ALL is harmful to her mental development. Any
physician will advise against smoking for any
person before the age of 81 years. While leg
ally, in the matter of smoking, there is no dis
tinction between the sexes, it certainly is a
most disgusting sight for young woman to
be seen putting at a cigaret. She may be indie
pendent enough to assert that she has as much
right to indulge her flag as has the man, but
too, she will find that she is losing the respect
OF those who might, previous to her taking up
sweet womanly qualities.
rs Smoking degrades a~woman, no matter how
you may look at it She takes on a coarse ap-
pearance, no matter how sweetIy she may at
tempt to indulge the privilege. While smoking
a cigaret may not be classed as an uncIean
habit, still the very thought of woman in
dulging such habit lowers her in the esteem
of those who like to regard woman on a plane
Just little above the members OF the opposite
sex

Safer Railroads.

Railway accident figures for 1920, compiled
by the interstate commerce commission, show
that American railways have wiped out their
old shameful record of human slaughter 1t is
now 10 years since the first serious effort was
made and safety first became familiar motto.
In this decade the number of passengers car
ried has increased A per cent, yet the actual
number of passengers killed per year has
dropped from 299 to 229. The percentage OF
fatalities, therefore, is almost cut in half The
record for employees shows similar progress.
Meanwhile fatalities at railroad crossings
have increased greatly. This points clearly to
the automobile traffic the disturbing factor.
Nothing but the frequency and carelessness of
Automobiles in crossing tracks has prevented
the railroads from making all-round improve
ments. The comparison in inevitable. Auto
mobile traffic must try just as hard to reform
itself railroad traffic has done. 1t should
no longer be said, to the disgrace of motorists.

than a passenger on a train.

The Queen of Diamonds.

Mrs Smith Wilkinson, the famous English
woman who poses as the worlds greatest
spender," is said to be planning visit to
America Evidently she intends trying to
dazzle New York and Washington as she has
daZzled Paris and London.
1t must be admitted that this lady with her
$4,000 900 gown plastered with 5000 diamonds,
would find rather appropriate setting in New
York's great white way, or in the blaze of
illumination with which the national capital is
adjoining itself during the arms conference
She would outshine all the electric ads and
other dazzlements.
Nevertheless, this feminine constellation
should understand that if she comes to Amer
lea with her cargo of diamond dresses and
pearl tiaras, she comes at her own risk 1t is
a double risk. She will be numerically
laughed at, and she will attract thieves as an
arc light lures pinching bugs.
Anybody who chooses to faunt useless
wealth in such fashion, in a time of such world
wide tragedy and want, not only outrages taste
and morals, but dares papapraphers and ban
dts to do their worst

Preserving Fire Fighting Strength.

Mayor II. NJ. Schriver is to be commended
for his declaration that the adoption of the
double platoon system for the fire department
will not cause curtailment of the strength of
the Rock Island system. Where the money is
to come from to meet the increased payroll Lhas
not been determined, but the property owners
will be comforted by the assurance of the city
executive that none of the stations will be
closed in order to make up the necessary in
crease
Rock Island has one OF the best fire depart
ments in the state for city of the size 1t has
been brought to high standard OF efficiency.
All parts of the city given protection.
While the wisdom of the legislature in
/ doubling the personnel of the department may
be questioned, nothing remains for the city to
do but to observe the new law.
The situation could be met by dispensing
with few Of the fire stations, but this would
involve the loss of protection to those sections
of the city where those stations are now
located, and Mayor SchriYer has taken a posi-
ton for which he will be applauded by all tax
payers in holding against any move that NAV
be made to meet the increased expense through
a reduction in the strength of the department
Rock Islands fire loss is among the Smallest
of its efficient fire department The amount of
money needed to pay the additional men that
will be attached to the department under the
provisions of the new state law is not to be
considered when contemplating the loss that
might result from the curtailment of the pres
ent fighting equipment

Pearson's Sad End.

man who in his day was one of the most
powerful personages in the British empire has
just died at the age of So. He was Sir Arthur
Pearson. Totally blind, while taking bath he
fell, struck against his head, was rendered un-
conscious and drowned in his tub
Sir Arthur was stricken with blindness after
ne had made his magazines and newspapers a
success. In his day he occupied the same posi-
ton of influence now held by Lord Northclife
He was young man of progressive ideas in the
journalistic field and the great pity is that he
should have been so handicapped by his afflic-
ton
But Sir Arthur did not allow his misfortune
to sour him against the world Himself becor
ing blind, he turned his attention toward helm
Ing those similarly afflicted. He became pres
ident of the National Institute for the Blind and
one Oh MS books was called Victory Over
Blindness" He became the supporter of all
the blind in England.
With unlimited wealth. Sir Arthur could
have isolated himself from the rest OF the world
and lived in ease and luxury surrounded by his,
family and servants. However in choosing the
unselhsh course, he found happiness in his
DAYS OF darkness, and perhaps he will be more
sincerely mourned now than if he had remained
In possession Of his sight and forged forward
as a great power in the journalistic field of his
country. Life was growing sweeter every day
10 Sir Arthur as he realized the good that he
was doing among those who had suffered the
same mlsfortunes as he. Sometimes it tales

Lighted Streets.

insufficient or defective street lighting is re-
sponsble for more than one-sixth of the fatal
automobile accidents which occur at night, says
a report recently presented to the Illuminating
Engineering society. All night accidents, it is
estimated, total annual loss of "a billion dol
lars, and fully half of this is directly due to
poor lighting.
According to another report the total expen-
diture for street lighting in the United States is
not in excess of $5O,O0O,0 900 a year, only one
tenth as much is lost outright for lack of
suitable lighting
1t looks if several times as much money
as at present might well be spent on lighting
streets in cities and small towns with actual
money saving If money must be spent, far
better spend it cOnstrnctively for the safety Of
property, limbs and life than negatively in pay
ing for damages for their destruction.

Our Attitude Toward France.

France is not only sincere in her feeling
That powerful and efficient army is necessary
for her very existence but that, after the exper-
iences OF the past fifty years. she has very good
reason to believe that the peace of western
Europe can best be preserved by the mainte-
nance of that army at a strength that enables
France to dfctate-to say there shall be no
more aggression, no war OF revenge"
s It is true thatit is little difficult for Amer
leans to understand this feeling However, it
must be admitted that it is not merely a case OF
-nerves" upon the part OF France. A reading
OF ,Ludendorfs new book seems to bear France

anxious for -gvcuGa How s<rnnE that element

II is a waste of breath and ink for the Ger
man press and Berlin officialdom to denounce
the BRAND Indictment as fiat falsehoods.
The German has not regained such standing as
he had in the court of world opinion. 1t may
be that the German Of today is as mild as any
sucking dove, but the world is unconvinced.
Before BRAND made his strong and moving plea
in Washington there was feeling that Germany
was potential menace. This feeling has been
changed to conviction. The man in the street
has been convinced by BRAND. The French
premier swung the conference to his view and
moved it as far toward pledging aid as it dared
move

| Remedy for Poor Digestion.


The late Austin Flint the elder,
famous physician and physioIo-
gist. expressed in ibis ripper years
some doubt as to the value of diet
ing in the treatment of disorders of
digestion. In his day dieting was
based largely upon empirical
grounds, that is, on pure theory,
and the regimen laid down for the
patient consisted chiefly of a may
eat list and a may-rot eat list of
various dishes or articles of food,
such as unqualified healers of the
modern plausible schools still
palm OFF on the gullible victim
Moreover, in Flint's time the divers
kinds of dyspepsia" and ''indiges-
ton" were taken seriously by the
, doctors as well as the laity, for in
those days surgery vas almost an
unknown art and living pathology
was therefore a closed book to the
medical profession.
Such popular notions as the one
that starchy foods must be avoid
ed if much gas forms in the stonlz
ach, or the one that meat or some
mysterious extract purporting to be
derived from meat is especially
strengthening or sustaining, or the
one that sweets and sugars are in
some curious way harmful to chill
dren, come from the dietetic empi-
ricism of the doctors of the era of
Austin Flint-but nevertheless Flint
was a great man, and the doctors
of his day were quite as efficient
and well Informed in their work
as were the lawyers or the chem
lists or any presumably learned
men.
Many readers who are aware
that do not attempt to determine
by mail the nature of an illness or
to advise what remedy should be
used, nevertheless imagine l can
prescribe or outline a suitable diet
for an individual condition. They
forget that medical science has
progressed somewhat in the past so
years. In that time we have learn
ed that the ready made diet lists
tagged with the names Of various
real or imaginary diseases are
about as appropriate and useful as
would be one standard pair of
pants for all human beings who
wear such appurtenances.
But 1 venture to announce that
we have a remedy for indigestion
which in any case, no matter what
ais the victim, can do no harm and
which in many cases has drawn
from the grateful victims fulsome
praise in the form of testimonials
I am not printing the testimonials
You'll have TO take my naked word
for it, which you may safely do,
since the remedy can bring me no
possible profit-a little point some
