SPEAK UP

nj OW is the time for the people Of this country to
l 7 emphasize their position on limitation OF anna
ment. The delegates who are to be present in the
coming conference on the limitation Of armament are
arriyn galoready in the United States hey should
be met with solid impact of public sentiment tor
this issue.
We have power Of press in America which is
not equaed anywhere it is open for public expression
to an extent that other country knows 1t IS up TO
our newspapers and magazines to orcbly impress upon
these visitors and our statesmen that we are not
Iukewam in our desire for most pronounced reduc-
ton of arms.
Every platform lecturer should give few words to
the subject no matter what his topic of discussion may
be, every preacher should emphasize it in every
church assembly No womans club or other organ
ization should close without reference to it Now IS
the time 10 make things count so far public demand
goes for this longed for relief from staggering and
useless expense
President Harding is warning the people to not
expect the impossible from the Conference, and to moi
be unreasonable in their demands. But luke warm de-
mands never bring results and easily satisfied desires
are apt to meet with negligible treatment There
can hardly be loo much insisted upon from this as
sembly. and the sentiment of the American public
should be thing so deleminedly expressed and so
forciby presented that every avenue of relief TO be
obtained from reduction in armament will be thorough
~ and exclusively gone into by The men who will give
the final decision on this most momcntous issue
This is time to ask largely and to expect much,
and this is also The time to tell about what we want
There will be no chance to tell about it after tho
delegates and our own representatives go into session.
hey will be immured in the enormous problems Of in.
tenaional and ntricately nterlockng world affairs
bearing on their work hey must go INTO the con.
ference SO impressed with the fact that they MUST
get results, that they will feel alternative can be
offered no excuse preferred for failure to Substan
TALLY lift this worlds burden.
1t could almost be wished at time Ike this that the
delegates TO the Washington Conference could be
locked up like jury until they reached decision
that will bring relief that they could be compelled 70
remain in session until program is completed thai
will meet the desire of the people If the Conference
fails it means. almost with certainty. another world
war for the coming generation. A that will place
race against race. with the English speaking people
fighting for their existence long years of Piling arms
upon arms Of launching ship after ship, of staggering
under taxation that will ST idly increase. he Peo-
pie cannot afford to take no" from the Washington
Conference and now is The time to tell them so.

Tho Moet Tragic Age.


The most tragic age in some
women's lives is the age when a
woman realizes she can no longer
hold man with sex. And this age
varies. The young wife frequently
discovers she's lost out on sex. Tho
single woman who relied on 1t lost
her man In spite Of sex. The mid.
dle-aged woman with hair grown
gray aud skin turned yellow and
eyes tired and bored-she knows
she can't hold a mnn with sex.
Very often the pretty little thing
with just a lot Of beauty finds out
her silly sex isn't worth two cents.
Then what?
What rs sex? It is a human mag.
net Turing men and women into the
closest relationship. Love has been
termed the most exquisite emotion
known to man. It is also the short
