again no one will deny. tho it would
perhaps be hard to build a navy in Sc
cret. The committee also counters by
saying that nations, like individuals,
must trust others sometimes.
At present, the ro-disarmament
faction maintains, we are the nation
which Is attracting most attention by
war preparations, and therefore we
can and ought to show that we have
no aggressive intentions by taking the
lead inF suggesting q conference. We
are. moreover, the nation which can
most safely start the vicious spiral
curving downward, because, being set
more or less apart, we have less fear
of invasion than the crowded Euro
peans.
These are the two courses ahead
of US: some, to go 1t alone, trusting no
other country and building ships as
fast as we can to keep any other ma
ton from building faster; the other,
to get the powers together and see
whether a practical scheme can be de-
vised to safeguard the nations who are
willing to lessen their ornaments.
The women's committee calls itself
a group of epportunists and insists
that now is the psychological time for
a conference because the people who
pay the bills want it, because militar-
ism is plunging them into national
bankruptcy and because conference
is a reasonable proceeding, such as
any business would hold in the event
it was swamped by overhead expenses.

Our Limit.

A young man pronounced a word in
correctly. Whereupon a candid rela-
tive corrected him, and even went to
the trouble to get out the dictionary
and prove to him that he was wrong.
81 don't care what Webster says, !"
retorted the complacent youth. That's
the way I pronounce the word, and
that's the way I'm going to pronounce
it. We've got free speech in this coun-
try, and I'm going to pronounce words
as I please"
A. wise old man, who had been
listening to the controversy. sighed.
I'm disappointed in that boy" he
said sadly, At had great hopes of him,
but If he has reached the place in his
development where he doesn't desire
to learn anything more, he has come
to the end of his tether. He has
reached the limit of his achievement,
and there's no hope of his ever being
any more than he is at the present
time, or sof his even doing anything
better.
He is done growing. He has be-
come senile, even tho he is only in his
twenties, for age is nothing but the
hardening of our perceptions, and the
petrifaction of our inclinations. We
are young as long as we are contin-
ually learning and can change our
point of view, and our ways of doing
things, and can keep step with mod
ern thought.
whenever we get to the place
where We are satisfied with ourselves
and don't want to learn anything
birthdays we have had. And we are
only interesting and valuable hence
forth as specimens of the fossilized re-
mains of the past.
"If 1 could give one especial piece
of advice to the young, it would be to
10 t.Nsv- \ - 4Ie-
supple and pliable; to keep always
learning and always growing, and to
be forever on a still hunt for a better
way Of doing things, instead of rest
ing complacent1y content that ones
own way is the only way.
81 count it even a virtue for people
to keep up with the foolish fads of
the hour, for. it shows, at least, that
they are willing to learn, and that they
are not so encased in self-conceit that
new ideas cannot penetrate to them.
There's always hope for those who are
receptive and anxious to be taught,
and so between the man who knows
it all and the man who is trying to
learn the latest thing, 1 back the up
to-the-minute chap to win out.
"Our young friend here says that
he has the right to pronounce a word
the way he pleases. That's where he
is wrong. The casual listener will set
thfs mispronunciation down to ignor-
ance, instead of recognizing that he is
asserting constitutional right to free
speech, and the balance of US will
smile over his egotism and dismiss
him from our minds as one who has
reached his growth.
Self-conceit is the nice. soft, cushy
grave in which a. lot of ability buries
itself The minute we are perfectly
satisfied with ourselves and our at
tainments. that minute the race ends
for us. We never advance one inch,
for we spend out lives gloating over
our achievements instead of straining
on to another goal"

TOuCHES.

It's the things which we touch with
o,r soi,Is thru our fingers and our
hearts, that make us really Immortal.
Before me is an exquisite piece OF
engraved coloring. 1t is the WORK OF
a woman artist. I am told that she
takes something like a year to work
up a single picture, and that fuii
wear in advance her work is all suo-
scribed for. I am not surprised. FOR
each piece that have seen seems a.
masterpiece in itself. I can feel the
genius of her thought, as it blossomed
from the touch of her skilled ringers.
And on a little stand near me Is an
appealing example of sculpture. Every
line of the delicate form seems per-
fectly modelled. 1 can almost see the
fingers of this artist as they SO know
ingly round every curve
In almost every direction you look
you are bound to see something that
human hands have touched-and
given life and animation.
The great buildings which creep up
into the sky have a peculiar fascina-
ton for me as I think of every hand
that touched some part and made the
whole thing great.
The touches of the musician whose
fingers give meaning to silent strings
or keys. of the painter who leaves his
soul in color on caRvasses which in
spire for centuries, of the rug maker
who weaves much of himself into his
greatly beloved art-are not these evil
dences' of divinity in the world here
and now?
Altho many years have stolen their
way into quite a distance, 1 can still
feel the touch of my mothers fingers
as they smootheI my brow and made
a nest for kisses so that the angels
might have an excuse for coming into
my room to watch.
To add some touch to the day so
that it may take on just a little more
light, just a little more cheer, just a
little more gentle Judgment toward
human beings--this in itself is a task
for any man or woman. se.l ~
