maturity? Mr.. Edison has the sup
port of most of the experts when
he lays the chief blame on educa-
ton. Our education teaches the
child a lot of rigid beliefs, instead
above all it bores him. Literature,
science, history-the things which
help any individual to understand
ard appreciate life-are made in
expressibly dull for the youngster.
He loses all interest in them.

it is an injury" says Mr.. Edison.
II don't know quite the age at
which a child's mind, atrophies
but it is somewhere between the
ages of IL and IA"
Here Mr.. Edison bears out the
psychoanalysts to perfection. The
child's intellectual development is
arrested by boredom somewhere be-
tv een IL and IA, and along moss
lines it never advances thereafter
A little later the child becomes In
terested in making money. and thai
remains the individuals most vital
interest all his life. His character
and personality mature after a fash
ion, but these can never reach a full
maturity without an all-round
mental development. Hence the fact
that the grown man so often has
the tastes, the viewpoint and the
amusements of a high school boy.
A change in our system of edu-
cation seems to be agreed by all
authorities to be the fundamental
need. Most of our literature and
drama, film and otherwise. is infan-
tile and fosters the infantile atti.
tude of life. But there is plenty OF
better stuff available. What is lack
ing is a demand for anything bet
ter. As long as III schools are
inadequate, as long as teachers are
the most poorly paid servants OF
the state, as long as all teaching
is risidly censored so that when a
teacher speaks his mind he risks
his job-as long as h United
States continues to rank tenth
among the civilized nations of the
world in it's educational system, just
SO long, say the psychologists, will

DISARMAMENT DELEGATES
FEAR CHINA SMASH

almost weekly and Is retained In
office almost by force. President
Hsu Is desperate and does not know
where he could find another prime
minister to take General Chin's
place.
Meantime civil war continues In
several districts throughout China
and the mutinous lootings OF some
OF her 1900, 900 unpaid coolie troops
are mere incidents of the day.
President Sun Yat-sep threatens
10 march against Picking from the
south and the central governments

Tso-lin, the super-tuehun of Man
churia, is now in another tantrum
and may attempt some kind OF q
Coup himself.

flu is fighting y, hold on a numper
of provinces In rebellion against
Picking.
The conference here any day may
ments.
. In Japanese circles the "interna-
tf~onalization" of China, II necessary
by armed Intervention. is again
being bruited. American officials
oppose both the idea and the sug-
gested means but they realize China
must have help soon or grave conse-
auences must follow.
The American idea is for the pow
ers to agree first to respect Chinas
sovereignty; second, to join in AID
ing China to help herself in a way
acceptable 10 the Chinese.
Armed intervention would precipi-
tate a whirlwind of trouble for the
great powers and probably war
not with China but among them
selves-and those who have made
a study of conditions in the Far
East are unalterably opposed to any
such project.
The conference has not met too
| soon. for China will not be able to
| hold together much longer.

perience in this matter.
Sometimes. there are troubles
which one must tell and ought to
tell. But many of our troubles grow
greater as we talk about them. The
more often we tell of them the
worse they seem to be-.
David Harum, in his homely
fashion, said hat "A reasonable
amount of feas is good for a dog; 1t
keeps him from thinking too much
about being a dog" A reasonable
amount of trouble Is not bad but
good for a man; it keeps him from
thinking too much about himself
and his own comfort.
We are not here just to be COM
Portable. We are here to be strong
and brave and true. We a make
our troubles a means of strength of
character. We can discipline our
| selves to rise above them and to
think of others rather than of our
selves.
A large proportion of our troubles
are homemade. And very many of
them can be cured at home.
If you cannot dismiss all your
troubles, try to conquer them by
courage and resolution apd se~lf-for-
getfulness. Maybe you will see the
time when you will be glad that you
had some of these same troubles.

written expressly for the N. Il. A.

wAsHINGToN, Nov 1s.-The
oomplete collapse OF China and some
form of foreign Intervention are
twin terrors which delegates to the
arms conference here now fear they
may be called upon to face at any
time.
The government at Peking In un-
able to meet its foreign obligations
while payment of interest due on
national treasury bond coupons for
four months in 1920 and two months
of this year have. for a second time,
been postponed.
Less and less money is coming TO
Picking from the provinces, the
tuchuns or war lords of these vir-
tually autonomous states not only
keeping most of what they collect
but demanding more from the CEN
trail government.
In Picking. Minister Pan admitted
to me that less than 10 per cent
of the axes collected in the pro-
vinces ultimately reaches his hands.
Minister May Quit
Badgered almost beyond endur-
ance by debt collectors, the minis
ter of finance would like to resign.
The money coming into the national
treasury from posts. telegraphs and
railways is only a drop in the bucket
and the stamp, wine and tobacco
taxes afford but a dribble more.
Customs and salt taxes the
country's two greatest sources or
evenu - are administered by the
foreign legations az Picking and are
already mortgaged for loans already
made.
Virtually bankrupt. China is be-
wildered and does not know which
way to turn.
President Hsu Shih-chang would
quit If he could do so without losing
face" While his premier, General
Chin jumping, actually does resign

LAWYERS

Senator Underwood tells a convention of tool manu-
facturers that a fourth of the time of employers and of law
yers is devoted to making up tax returns. That often is true
especially in the case of expert accountants who get fat
fees for finding 'sink-holes," etc.
The more complicated a system of taxation, the easier
If is to dodge. Simplicity has no caverns for hiding.

CHAPPED HANDS
COMMON SENSE WAYS TO KEEP WE'LL

/, 1t is necessary to wash the face
and hands often. This frequent
washing, with soaps that are often
harsh and the hasry. careless dry
ing afterward are the prolific fac
tors in producing chapped skin.
AS in most other trivial troubles,
people do not begin treatment until
the condition is we'll developed. The
skin is usually in a cracked and
bleeding condition before any care is
taken of it. The are and relief Of
chapping consists in attention to. the
details necessary to avoid or over
come the exciting causes.
The best remedy is obviously to re-
store some Of the fats that are alb
sent from the surface of the skin.
To persons chapping easily the too
frequent use of soap and water
| should be limited as much Is posi-
BILE. The soap used should contain
some free Eat, ana the water used
should be as soft as can be obtained.
After washing. a little cold cream,
olive oil or ~vaseline will help restore
to the hands some of their natural
softness. At bedtime the skin should
again be softened by an application
of fat or tragacanth lotion. Glycerine
which is obtained from fats is a good
lotion for chapped hands. The secret
in preventing AMI curing chapped
| skin is to make up for the deficiency
of fat which the skin fails to supply
for itself in cold weather.

NEW STENChED DRESS
POPULAR ENGLISH STYLE

LONDON. Aug. 5.-(U. P)-The
stenciled dress has come to town for a
long visit. So far there are only two
stencilers, and they are besieged with
orders.
Carlo Norway, a London artist ex-
per,mented for a long time with stem
cilcd designs in oils and applied the
experiment to frock. Robert Fox, a
brother artist. suggested swelling his
exchequer by marketing steneiled
dresses.
The two combined, and In Norway S
studio conceived the designs, cut them
In thin brass and put them onto sam
pies of dress notwithstanding
from silk to velvet. All sorts of de-
signs were tried-birds, animals, or
binary geometric designs.
Success came Immediately. Whole
salers gave orders at sight. Two sam
pie frocks submitted a few days ago
have brought fifty repeat orders.
Stenciled frocks may be folded OF
washed without damage to the paint;
the paint, in fact penetrates the ma
terial better when washed and the
greatest feature is the non-duplicat-
able designs can be furnished on re.
quest.

FARM NOISES ARE CURE
FOR SHELL Shock

WINNIPEG, Man. Aug. 81. n.
S.)-The symphony or droning NOW
ers. cultivators and threshers is spe-
cific for shell-shock. OF the thous-
ands of war veterans who turned to
agriculture at the conclusion of hos
tilities virtually all have recovered
from the effects of shell-sbock. A re-
cent survey. on the other hand, does
not indicate that this is true of the
returned soldiers who settled in the
cities.
Besides regaining health at a far
more rapid pace than their city bro
thers, the farmer soldiers generally
have experienced more pronounced
prosperity. For their crops last year
they received approximately $14,-
100000. The return this year, on the
face of preliminary estimates, should
be 25 per cent greater.
Many of the $4,000 soldiers who have
taken farms under the Soldiers Re-
establishment act were not in good
health when they turned farmers. To-
day the average soldier-farmer is in
ruddy health and sound finances.
In aiding the men the government
has made loans aggregating more
than $110,O0O.O00. The Soldier Set
tlement Board. under direction of Ma
.jor John Barnett, purchased over
10000 horses, mules, cows, oxen,
sheep and swine: 100000 chickens and
thousands of dollars worth of farm
machinery
Nearly 100000 acres of land have
been cultivated, and last year 100000
acres of virgin soil were broken. The
men produced 100000 bushels of
grain, besides great quantities of hay,
green feed, butter, milk, eggs, fruit
and vegetables.
Signal success attained by the for
mer soldiers has resulted in a flood OF
applications from other war veterans
who now recognize the opportunities
of Western Canada.
