Americans Write Harding IndorSing
 Armament Farley
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Herald
 300 Davidson BuildIng

Washington, September 21.-tspe- c:al.) .)-The presidential mail bags. heavier than at any other time since the Inauguration of Mir Harding. bring daily proof that the people of the United States in whatever sec tion they might live, are deeply in- terested in the coming conference for the limitation of armament.
 The interest of the people makes the President glad and sad. He is happy, the public is made aware, that interest is so general, and that 1t is entirely other than political interest He is sad because the in- terest of the people indicates that they expect much more than can be obtained, it is believed.
 The Presidents mail is proof that the people of the country are con vinoed since the sinking of the for mer German ship off the Virginia capes by bombs dropped from afr ships, that for the protection of the country. further construction is not only unnecessary, but represents an unwarranted waste. This view, while gaining ground, apparently, Is not held by the bulk of the republican party, and is fought bitterly by those manufacturing interests which for years have furnished the ma terial entering into super dread .nought construction.
 The people are complaining to the President about the burden of taxa tion. They have been made aware by congressman opposed to the Dig navy idea that 92 per cent of the money expended by the government in recent years has been for war, real and anticipated. They are so urgent that the President lessen their burden, and so convinced that further battleship construction is unnecessary, that 1t is entirely prob able, judging from White House in- timations, that before November II the President will take advantage of some opportunity to tell the people that while he hopes for reduction, he does not hope for the impossible; that is, an agreement on the part of the nations to discontinue building steel monsters of the deep. He has already said as much publicly. The hundreds who write him every day praying for real results from the conference will drive him to repeat his former assertion, it is in- dicated.
 In the meantime, there are those in Congress who expect little of real value to, ensue from the conference They are. very anxious, as result that the country be in position to nX responsibility for failure Tn the event of failure It is known that either | Senator Borah. republican, or Sen ator Harrison. democrat, will intro duce and urge the adoption of re olution calling upon the American delegation to insist on public ses- sions, or sessions to which the Washington corps of correspondents will be admitted.

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
an" AND UNTO"

tn HE distinction between the uses
L of these two words, sin" and
Into" can be expressed best by Civ
Ing examples of proper and improper
usage Therefore, compare the two
sentences which follow: ''The man
walked in the house" and "The man
walked into the house." In the first
case the action was confined entirely
to the house; that is, the man was
in the house, and he walked therein.
But in the second case, the man was
outside the house, and he entered it.
"In" shows state of being, or position ;
Into" denotes action, movement, ten
dency or direction.
Do not say: II fell in the water u

Something to
Think about
THE JOB AND THE MAN
ByF.A A. Walker

L VERY man and woman should
~ have budget. Their should be
a businesslike apportionment, of what
you earn, to your needs and your
tastes.
You will have to assign so much to
rent. It used to be % per cent in
the ordinary income. Now it averages
more.
There will have to be an allowance
for food and clothing, for the doctor
and the dentist, for amusement and
pleasure, for necessary travel and for
unnecessary extravagances, for we all
have our extravagances.
All these things will be promptly
listed and thoroughly looked after.
We shall probably be particularly lib
eral with those items which mean the
least in the sum total of human hap
piness.
The last thing that will be thought
about, and the most scanty allowance
will be made for it, will be the devel-
opment and betterment of our minds.
How much money did you spend last
year on worthwhile books-books you
are keeping to read a second time
books that added to your wisdom or
gave you something valuable to think
about?
How much time did you spend in
filling your mental storehouSe with
facts useful in daily life and valuable
in your daily work?
Did you spend as much for informa-
tion as you did for gasoline?
If you were to add together all the
time you spent gaining knowledge,
would it be half the time that you
spent dancing?
Do you consider that MONEY is the
only thing you spend?
TIME is your much greater asset
You can earn more money.
You cannot, with all the wealth Of
all the universe, in all the ages, buy
one minute of time nor bring back for
another and a better use a wasted
hour.
Lord Brougham, a man who spent
his time wisely and proftably, wrote
down this short sentence filled with
good advice: Read something Of
everything, and everything of some
thing"
There is no excuse for any man,
woman or child past twelve years
spending less than half an hour day
with a good book.
Reading carefully and THOUGHT.
FULLY you will cover not less than $50
words a minute. That is $500 words
a day. ONE MILLION SIX HUN
DRIED AND FORTY-TWO THOU
SAND WORDS AsYEAR. How much
wiser do you think you would be if
you did that for only one year?
knowledge is the freest, the most in
expensive thing in the world, and we
think less Of it than of anything else.
Stop making pet of your stomach.
Stop worrying about your clothes.
Give up some of the useless things
upon which you spend and waste your
time and your money.
Make up a budget of your earnings
and your hours that shall have in it
a liberal allowance for your mind, for
your intelligence, for your thinking
powers.
What you have inside your head
no robber can get, no Ponzi can trans
fer to his pockets. Not even old age
can destroy it, and perhaps not even
death can take it away from you.
Be generous with your mind. Feed
it. Nourish it. Care for -. 1t Is
the one part of you that really mat
ters, the one thing upon which you
should spend lavishly and continu-
ously.

under penalty of a fine; they were al

and not more than one fire was al
