WOMEN AND DISARMAMENT.

The Delaware League Of Women
Voters convcnes in this city tomorrow.
Among the subjects which they will
discuss VIII be disarmament. Quite
4 timely topic, that We wonder if
these good women are going 10 make
any real progress in attaining that end
or will they remain satisfied with the
sand-writtea pledges Of politicians
seeking their votes?
The most remarkable thing about
persons Who take an interest in poll
tics il that the majority viii over
look failures OF the past because Of
glowing promises made in the present.
II these women will keep a tab on
their representatives in Congress. and
then permit Of no excuse being made
they might accomplish something to-
ward achieving state of disarm-
ament. Especially would this be so
u similar organizat tions in every state
did the same thing.
incidentally. the Delaware League
of Women Voters might ask certain Of
their Congressional representatives
70 explain why they voted for Mr..
Iiarding's sword-rattling program a
week or 50 ago. Speeches in favor Of
disarmament are one thing; action
toward the representatives who are
voting contrary 10 the masses Of the
people is another thing.
The Delaware League Of Women
Voters may accomplish something if
they take definite action against their
representatives who have become big
army and big navy" men, against
what seems TO be the wish Of their
constituents. But they will accom-
plish nothing if they merely talk. A
few warm -worded resolutions might
serve notice on these representatives
that women, now having the vote.
cannot be put off with honeyed words.

JUST FOLKS
TEN.FINGERED MICE.
BY Edgar A. Guest

When cake IS nicely frosted and it's
put away for tea
And il looks as trim and proper as n
chocolate cake should be.
Would il puzzle YOU al evening as you
brought il from the ledge
To find the chocolate missing from its
smooth and shiny edge?
AS you viewed the cake in sorrow
would YOU look around and say.
Who's been nibbling in the pantry
when he should have been at
play"
And II little eyes look guilty As they
hungered for slice.
Would YOU take Dads explanation that
il must have been the mice?
Oh, I'm sorry for the household that
can keep a frosted cake
Smooth and perfect through the day
time. FOR the hearts Of them must
ache
For it must be very lonely to be living
in a house
Where the pantry's never ravaged by
a glad ten-fngered mouse.
Though i've travelled far past forty,
] confess that !, myself,
Even now viii nip a morsel from the
good things on the shelf,
And ! never blame the youngsters who
discover chocolate cake
For the tiny little samples which ex-
ultantly they take.

RIPPLING RHYMES.
BY Walt Mason.
LETHE

Forget the symptoms of dis
case Ger which you're prone TO
cry alack. those signs of string
halt in Your knees. and hints of
c1icks along your back; forget
ting all such things as these,
you'll be surprised how high YOU
stack. Fer brooding over all
ments dire may bring them to
you. all in line: far better hear
the woodland choir. or catch
fish where streamiets shine; far
better buy a wh9lebone Tyre. and
turn out madrigals like mine.
And talking Of your divers ills is
surely bound to make them
worse; forget the doctor and his
pills, the undertaken and his
hoarse, and walk along the sun
lit hills. and chant a glad and
grateful verse. He 10 the great
est age survives who doesn't let
the briny pour, who romps and
gambols with his wives. and
shows his head is never sore:
and If you talk of itch and hives.
you only make yourself a bore.
No dismal takers are required
in this. our mortal caravan. no
lamentations are desired. no pro-
grams on the graveyard plan;
forget the themes that make
men tired, and be a sunbeam If
you can. Forget the brief of
yesterday. forget the ache you
had last night; when people
would be hlithe and gay. the
lonesome beefer is fright: be
joyful, and when dusk is gray,
the boys will CRY. Good scout.

ians gather To talk of Art with
capital \, and to languidly critieise

is a theatre where tho soulful ones ex-
press their individualities. Recently
one OF the theatrical attractions was
advertised by a glaring poster of
young woman who was clad only in
'art,"--that is. Natures own cover
ing.
Great protest was made over the
exhibition of the poster, and Hiz-
zoner, Mayor Hylan. ordered the pic
turc turned toward the wall, so that
the eyes Of the pure would not be af-
tended. Then great howl arose,
which was heard even in Harlem. A
protesting deputation was appointed
to argue with Hizzoner over such
ruthless suppression Of art. The trump
card was held TO the last. and then
played
Your honor" exclaimed one of the
villages luminaries, That poster

an exact copy OF that famous work.
Descending Night, which hangs in
the holy confines of the Metropolitan

The gentleman spoke the truth.
Now where Il the border line be-
tween art and ohscenity? Is a pic
turc obscene when il is seen in Green
wich Village, and merely work Of
art when in the Metropolitan? This
is a problem quite worthy Of a phil

~ coming here for lesson in musi-
ca education"
DR.. Thomas II. Yorke Trottar
principal Of the Incorporated London
Academy Of Music has accepted an
invitation TO visit New York at the end
Of the year to introduce his system IF
musical training into the new musical
conservatory at Rochester ITnivereit,y
Ihe invitation was the result If a
curious experiment by Mr.. East ma :,
The American millionaire. who Il in
terested in the new conservatory. Be
iieving that the present system Of
musical education IS out Of date, Mr..
Eastman engaged two well-known
Danish musicians 10 tour Europe in
search of new systems
They first travelled Germany and
the Continent without discovering any
really original system. Eventually
they arrived in London, and. after =
time. visited incognsto the London
Academy of Music. They were AZ
oEee attracted by fhe novelty Of the
curriculm there.
The system in force at the I.ondon
Academy of Music was originated nv
Or. Yorke Trotter, and is a complete
inversion of all accepted methods of
musical training. Its aim is based
or the principle there is music in
every human being, and that this
music must be drawn out of them BY
their own aesthetic self-expression in
stead of being destroyed by mechanical
instruction.
Extraordinary results have already
been obtained, but the system first
met with considerable opposition in
academic circles in England. The in
v.tation to introduce it into the United
States is the first real recognition of
Importance it has received.
