Doubtless the emotion. which for the
man was only a pastime. is actually
running her singing voice. The
physical reactions from emotional
distresses are often terrible.
But isn't the wrecking of her ca
reer too big price to pay for
summer affair with a man who
makes love-and runs away?
This girls cure consists in a bet
.er understanding OF her value, not
TO herself, not to any man. but to
the community.
Her art provides many persons
with pleasure, therefore she ought
o save il from destruction. She
ought to cherish it. and continue TO
devote It to the entertainment of
audiences.
Her misery comes from turning
her love-force inward. Her cure will
be assured when she switches her
| thwarted emotions into an outward
channel At present she Is selfish
for II she loses her ability to sina
she subtracts something from the
beauty OF the world.
Most victims OF unfortunate emo

twhich they can escape at will.

URGES BETTER
CARE FOR HEROES
DR.. Pringle Wants Govern
ment to Do More for
Ex-Service Men
WERE
IN THE FAR EAST

An eloquent plea for better care
OF the men who fought In the World
War was made last night In Hanover
Presbyterian Church Eighteenth
street and Boulevard. by the Rev.
w. Gordon Pringle. Ph. D.. an Epis-
copalian clergyman, who served as
chaplain in the conflict and won the
title OF captain. Doctor Pringle spoke
in Westminster Church in the morn
ing.
Captain Pringle declared that
hundreds Of former service men are
now forced to sleep In the open be-
cause the United States has forgot
It's promise to them. He took as his
text, 'Inasmuch as ye did it unto
the least Of these. ye have done It
unto Me"
Even as much as l believe in
church services" said Captain Prin-
gle, "I believe that singing is not
serving God. praying is not serving
G Cd, and going to Holy Communion
IS no tserving God. They are not an
end. but a means to an end. They
are but an incentive to the people TO
get a conception OF the great vision
OF service 20 God II our religion is
nothing more than this" he de-
clared, ''it is not the religion OF
Christ"
"The thing that follows war is
worse than war" he declared. Il was
there when that red hell ran along
hundreds OF miles OF battlefront In
Europe, and know that what is
following IL today is worse. Ten mil
lion men died in the prime OF life.
In that conflict Since then. three
million men, women and children
have died from starvation. pestil-
enco and discouragement. Thousands
are dying today.
'It is our duty" he continued, "to
relieve some OF that suffering and
sorrowing"
Captain Pringle closed his sermon
by referring to the way in which
America had forgotten the promises
made TO the soldiers lie told of one
division in France which suffered
45O. 600 casualties in three days, and
said that some OF "our party politi-
clans and diplomats are still trying
to explain why they died"
At the morning service in Han
over Church twnety-eight new mem
bers were received.

MORE SCHOOLS
Due To CLOSE
Mt. Pleasant and Elsmere
Districts Won't Raise
Janitors' Salary
URGE REPEAL
OF OLD LAW

Taxpayers OF the Mt. Pleasant and
Elsnere schools districts. on satur-
DAY. defeated referendum on the
question OF raising additional money
10 these districts TO pay the school
jonitors. As a result, the schools
will be closed on December 23. on
the same date the schools at Mar
shaliton and oak Grove also will
close, the patrons in those districts
also having refused to vote addi-
tional money for ianitors' service.
In the Mt. Pleasant election the
vote on Saturday showed ~ to Is
against the extra tax while in Els
mere the vote was 2s to 16 against.
Tho amount needed in the Mt. Pleas
ant district is $500.
One OF the taxpayers OF the Mt
Pleasant school district. in speak
ing OF the situation said that

the taxpayers OF that district were
opposed TO, but II was the principle
OF the affair. II the State did not
have the money with which 10 pay

or whatever Is needed. but the tax
payers do not wish TO be placed in
the ridiculous position OF voting
their approval of a nonsensical law.
Surely" ne declared. "by this
time all those people who are respon-
sible for this law ought to be wise
70 the mistake they have made"
He called attention to the argument
that the calling OF special session
of the Legislature, would involve
considerable expense. Mr.. Grotz
was not inclin I 70 take much stock
In the plea OF the State Board OF
Education. that nothing can be done
10 remedy the situation until the
next session OF the Legislature in
1929. He called attention TO a state
.nent Of II. V. Holloway. secretary
OF the State Board OF Education to
the effect tina nothing short OF a
revolution would cause the Governor
TO call a special session OF the Leg
islature." Sure by this time" the
powers that be- should realize that
this is nothing short OF a revolution" ,"
he added.
The present school term ends next
June, and II is not thought that the
taxpayers OF the districts which have
voted against the extra tax levy will
allow their schools to remain clos
ed that long. but will devise some
means Of providing janitor service.

Uncle Harry Talks About Probable
Results Of the Conference

What do you think Will be the
results OF the Conference on Dis
armament and the Far East?" asked
Helen.
Il think 1 have told you already
that one or the biggest and most i'm
portant results of the meetings in
Washington is the awakening Of peo-
pies IN all parts OF the world to the
necessity for small navies and arm
les. and a fair and equitable adjust
ment of the disputes about China"
said Uncle Harry.
Yes, I remember your talk on
this" said Jimmy" but I think
Helen means by her question, what
will happen in the way of agree
ments or treaties among the nations
as a result Of the Conference"
THAT is exactly what l mean"
said Helen.
Either of Two Things Possible.
"Well, the conference can have
two distinct results replied Uncle
Harry, The delegates representing
the various countries at the meetings
in Washington can do either OF two
things. They can write and sign
what are called 'gentlemen's agree
ments,' in which the various ma
tions. on the pledged word of honor
of their representatives, promise for
a certain number of years, to do cer-
tain things and not to do certain
other things. Such agreements are
not legal in the sense that treaties
among nations or contracts between
two individuals are legal. For in
stance, our country now has gem
tleman's agreement with Japan, COW
ering the matter Of Japanese immi-
grafton to the United States-an
agreement entered into between Mr..
Lansing, when he was Secretary Of
State, and Mr.. Ishii the japanese
statesman. at the time he was Pre-
mier OF Japan.
ION the other hand, the delegates
may prepare regular treaties among
the various nations. Then when the
conference adjourns it will be neces-
sary for those delegates to submit
the proposed treaties TO the national
! Legislative bodies of their respective
nations. Here in our own country,
YOU know, the law provides that our
President personally, or through his
Secretary Of State, may negotiate
and prepare a treaty with a foreign
nation; but before such @ treaty
becomes binding upon our nation II
must be submitted to the United
states Senate and receive a two
thirds majority Of the votes OF the
Senators.
The value either of gentle
mems agreement OF a treaty de-
pends largely on whether the pledges
I contained in the documents are
made public and are understood by
the people of the various nations
one of the great evils of the past in
international relations, has been in
the form Of secret agreements and
Evening journal., 1921-12-12

treaties entered into among govern
ment officials Of different nations.
In some of these treaties. the people
OF the various nations. without
knowing even OF the existence or
such agreements or treaties, have
been pledged to do certain things
and IL necessary to go to war.
$50 whichever form the results
Of the Conference take, 1t seems TO
me that the important thing is that
every agreement or suggested treaty
be given the fullest publicity so
that the people OF all the nations
will know exactly what their
representatives have agreed 20
do; and then II these argee-
ments do not meet with popu-
lar opinion. public protests can be
made and difficulties and differences
adjusted before matters go too far
and lead the nations up to the very
verge of war"
