Our position and influence in world affairs are

AIDING RUSSIA.

It will be difficult enough to get the American people to contribute freely to the aid Of the Russians. Their funds and their inclination to take any sympathetic view of the sit uation will not be flowing freely to- ward that land under present condi- tions.
 The confidence Americans have in Herbert Hoover, and their belief in him and his Judgment in matters ,of this sort is unbounded. With the knowledge that MT. Hoover, not Sec retary Hoover, believes this work necessary. and that the aid will. be administered as he believes 1t should be and in the manner he has planned, it is probable that such aid would come from the people and that the suffering would be lessened.
 If. however. there is any disagree ment between Hoover and the Rus sian authorities-any unpleasa,ntness even though the Hoover way finally wins out, the task will be all the more difficult.
 If the Russians insist on admins tering the relief in their own way, there will be, nor, relief.
 News comes that the conditions as laid down by the American Relief Administration will not be varied from the principle of American con trol of distribution. News comes also that the Moacow government will have to order a change in the de- mands of the head of the. Russia n famine relief committee before The will consent to the distribution as arranged by America.
 Comment was made some time ago on the apparently condescending at t:tude of Russia in stating that it was willing. to accept American aid. That attitude has been continued. There is no hint of gratitude; there
 is no gratitude felt-by the higher up" in Russia who are not suffering.
 They seem, in their manner, more heartless toward those of their own
 country than are the American people
 toward the sufferers of the foreign land.
 | A complete reversal of attitude must
 come before there will be any hearti-
 ness in the humane act planned by a great man and great organization 1 of this country.

BRIAND WILL COME.

The decision of Premier Briand, of France. to head the delegation from that country to the Disarma- ment Conference. brings to us splen- did satisfaction. The example he sets, in his evident desire to make portancc. will probably be followed
 by other nations.
 Had Premier Brland remained at home It is doubtful if Lloyd George would have taken tho timc from per picking duties at home, to evince his belief that the conference would be all that 1t may be made, by coming him. self. Even now it is doubtful If he vii! represent Great Britain.
 But irrespective of the action ot Lloyd George, the French Premier's
 determination to give to the confer encc not only all that would seem of ficially wise, but also the atmosphere of recognition of the importance o1 | that conference to the world which

FRATERNITY

When you feel you'd like to do lot
 O knocking; That kick or two would do lot of
 good; When you feel blue devils round about
 you flocking, Like an old blue hen that gathers iii
 her brood, And everything looks sort O dark and
 hay. And somehow things won't work the
 way you want. While everyone you meet acts sort o lazy, j. And cen the sun shines on you with a
 slant; Oh, 'tis then you need the spirit that's fraternal. And a friendly clasp from some good brothers hand, A reflection of the love that Is eternal The love that through diversity will stand. But your thirst for fellowship-if you would slake it, You must with others do your little part;
 For this life of ours is simply wha' we make 1t, And Fraternity springs always upor the heart. M. H. NORTON

Let us stand with her and VOW that nothing is good that is not new; that all which is old should be laid on the shelf which will never give forth it's contents.
 Then away with rouge!
 For one hundred years ago an English woman wrote What is more inoffensive than g Attlo rouge when it makes a natural bloom
 Moreover grandmother in a near by city kept a. cook book, on one of the pages of which was written in faded ink on paper yellowed by age. the recipe for a ruby lip salve. " Confronted with the damning evil dence of past perfidy, grandmother confessed that once in a while she used little vinegar to brighten and soften her lips and that once, on an awful day when they must have some fun" to brighten the tagging hours, she and the girls painted their lips and cheeks with pokeberry juice
 But even far back of our nefghbor- ing grandmother it seems that histor- ians agree that once a beautiful daughter of the Nile discovered that bit of weed found on the banks of the famous river made her face glow with the same lovely color as that of the 1rubies about her neck. Her slaves gathered much of the weed and man fell before the radiant color of her face forever afterward.
 So. to those who deprecate that which is old. to those who believe only in the new. the lesson of the reticent grandmother and the daugh- ter of the Nile should appeal.
 Incidentally be it said that the story must have been heard and listened to with sympathy in New York for the young women in that great metropolis have ceased. in a measure, to make use of such old fashioned custom as the use of rouge.
