The lat shot Of the world war was
fired three years ago today.
The third anniversary of Armistice
Day is celebrated The unknown Amer
lean soldier. symbolic Of q host Of
others. is buried in Arlington cemetery.
q meeting Of representatives Of the
great powers called to limit ornaments
and head off a enext war" begins in
washington
This conference is the really inpor-
ant thing. The war IS gone-its physi-
cal and soul anguish passing into the
mHsts Of history, though its scars on
the human race viii not be effaced for
centuries.
peculiar defect of mans brain is
that il Is SO easy to forget Every per-
son IN the world should refresh his
memory and write in his brain with
indelible pencil these two facts:
First. The most authoritative statis-
tics on the world war show that about
100000 were killed in battle. Count
less millions persisted through the in
direct causes of the conflict.
Second. The wars actual cost to all
participating nations, as compiled by
Prof. Bogart of che University Of IlIi-
nois totaled s1S6. 900. 000, 600.
With these terrible facts fresh before
the eyes, it is a deplorable reflection
on so-called human intelligence that it
Is even necessary to call a disarma-
ment conference.
II this conference fails. the world
war-as far as our generation and the
next are concerned-was fought in
vain.
1t must not fail!

ARMISTICE DAY, 1921
(By Berton BraIey.)

(By Berton BraIey.)
Three years since the roar Of the can
non ended
Three years since the affairs Of war
ran red
And the glory Of youth and manhood
splendid
Was laid in windrows of mangled
dead:
Three brief. swift years since the Peace
we sought for,
When we need not tremble D greet
the dawn
Yet what have we gained OF the aims
we fought for
If the old grim spirit Of war lives on?
Three years-yet the statesmen"
mouth and humble
Of national honor" and righteous
might"
And the hammers clang and the steel
rolls rumble
On arms and armor by day and
night;
Ten million slaughtered at Armaged-
Yet under the burden Of arms we
bow,
ana these the phrases we still are red
on,
"Disarm? wen maybe-but now just
now!"
Great Cod how long must we spend in
learning,
How long must we bubble and pause
and pirate
Ere we win to the goal of the whole
worlds yearning
And raze this structure of wrath and
hate?
How long shall the sordid and mean
ambitions
OF purbIind blunderers bind us fast?
How long shall jingoes and politicians
Speak in the voice OF the sul1en Past?
Three years since the screaming shells
went arching
Into the sky; now the guns are
dumb,
Yet we hear the tramp of the armies
marching,
And the navy yards and the gun
shops hum;
Shall we bark to the old or the new,
true voices
Shall we build for conflict or bid it
cease?
It is ours to say what our final choice is
A ruined world-or a world OF Peace!

ECCENTRIC WILLS HAVE THEIR
VALUE

4 movement is started in Massachu-
sets to nullify the wills OF eccentric
individuals who bequeath their money
for the founding Of homes for indi-
gent pussy cats and decrepit canary
birds.
The money might better be used for
child welfare work and battling dis
ease. However, eccentric wills have
their value-as monuments spreading
the gospel of Kindness to animal life.
They are permissible under the system
that says man has the right to spend
his money as he pleases.
Besides. who is going to say what
is eccentric. what is not? Scientists
once thought that Christopher Colum-

HER EnlKa
1t must not fall

When it comes to making trouble
for Friend Husband mother in law
cannot compare with sister-in-l law.
This is the opinion OF Judge L. p.
Day, youngest district Judge on the
Nebraska bench He knows his sub
Ject. Handles as many as twelve
divorces a day.
Judge Day recently commended a
man for gathering up the personal
effects of his sister in-law and setting
them In the street.
''The motherin-la law has been unjustly
condemned in the past" says the Judge.
1t isn't fair A mother usually has
the best interests of her daughter at
heart. She realizes that. even though
there be some sacrifice. it is usually
better for the home to be kept intact.
She sees with the eyes Of wisdom and
experience.
The sister-in-1aw on the other
hand, Is a rabid partisan. She devel-
ops a personal grievance against the
brother-in-law and is out for ven
geance The sister-and- sister relation
is more clannish than the mother and
daughter relation Chances are. the
two sisters time and again during
childhood have gone OF on secret larks
together and have formed an Offensive
defensive alliance against parental au-
thcrity. They are always fn cahoots
as many husband can testify"
In a family row, sister-in-1aw
usually has nothing to lose. But the
wife's mother always has her daugh-
ter'ss happiness at stake.
Brother-in-law and father-in-layv
generally have their minds occupied
with business and are more ant to he
spectators than participants in home
difficulties OF wife or husband.
In some form or other, nearly evary
married person has such difficulties
Poor people look at things with differ
ent eyes.

ter OF propinquity.
Since the court Jester OF one of the
Egyptian Pharaohs invented the seven
original jokes. the nother-in-law has
been the target or that thorny rose
called Testing ridicule."
Judge Day is about the first defender
OF the motherin-Iaw that has risen in
our generation.
Surely there must be thousands of
men who hold their mothers-in-law on
the same plane with their mothers, or
near that level.

JUSTICE.


While finding fault with and unjustly

Why not of ourselves make a thor

To think Of our own shortcomings Sc

Would likely move US from our lofty

When we groundlessly suspicion or ac-

The wrong is oftentimes in US,
And this is what makes us even think
Of it,
And causes US to make such fuss.
And oftentimes the ones we suspicion

Would discount us by far
Along lines of honesty, loyalty, charity

And they our accusations would not

Alaska Has Hand In Weather
Though the United States proper
does not brew its own weather there
is some consolation to enthusiasts
for the made in America movement
in the fact that the great majority
OF the disturbances that enter the
States originate in Alaska or in the
great warm cauldron of the North
Pacific between the Aleutian Tslau
and Hawaii, which is almost a Unit
ed States sea.
Weather disturbances which en-
ter the United States accompany
lows and highs separated areas
OF low and high atmospheric pres

which drift in general from west
to east. Atmospheric pressure is the
result of the weight OF the great sea
of air COMPRISING the lower por-
ton Naturally, in regions where the
air is rarefied and is rising, the
weight. and therefore the pressure,
is relatively low; where the air is
contracted and is sinking the weight
is greater than the pressure Is rela-
lively high. Heat is the chief factor
in starting air TO rise over a low;
and once the start is made the
movement is contributed to by var
ious causes, notably condensation
into cloud and rain that gives out to
the air the original heat OF evapora-
ton. Thus a sort Of chimney for rfs-
ing air is established. and at its bot
tom the pressure is reduced.

Battle OF "Hiehs" and Lows"
THE most common course OF
lows Is across the southern pan
handle of Alaska and over British
Columbia, to cross the Canadian
border into the United States in Al
berta. For convenience they arc
called Alberta storms A somewhat

ed North Pacific storms original

entering south Of the northern boun-
quent. for this is the region of a
more or less permanent high the
effect of which Is to keep the drift
ing lows farther north. Now and
then a low is formed in some sec
ton of the broad curving band of
country stretching from Alberta
through Texas. including the Rocky
Mountains, or even in the central or
Gulf States; but these occur much
less frequently than the lows which
drift in from the Aleutians.
''ln the summer the Aleutian reg
ion which produces lows is shifted
to the interior of Alaska. and from
there the succeeding disturbances
drift southeastward. and those that
enter the United States do so east
of the Rocky Mountains. The char
acteristic path Of all the lows
which enter the United States in the
northwestern portion OF the country
is a more or less deep dip to the
south just east of the Rocky Noun,
tains, and later turn TO the north
east. BY far the greater number OF
them finally pass from the continent
down the valley of the st Lawrence
river. not because this great valley
influences their passage. but be-
