Solutions Necessary.

1T is easy to talk of the prevention
of war, but inevitably there will be
differences and serious controversies.
and IL these are not to- be settled by
force, there must be peaceful solu-
tions, which can be had only through
the efforts of governments which de-
terminedly seek peace and make it
possible by providing for the contacts
of honorable and reasonable men
whose ability. ingenuity and wisdom
will be utilized not to devise grounds
for continuing differences, but prac-
tical bases of agreement.
May 1 say that in showing that
it was possible to provide plan
for the amicable settlement of the
Tacna AFRICA controversy you have
clearly indicated that no difference
in Latin America is incapable of
solution. This Is the greatest for
ward step in the interest of peace
on this hemisphere which this gener-
alton has witnessed. May 1t be the
promise of an abiding tranquility
and the reign of justice"

The table placed for the delegates
was midway along one side of the

Signature of the protocol and its
complementary act was first on the
program of the final session, with Sec
retary Hughes speaking for the
United States. Carlos Aldunate and
Ambassador Matthew for Chile and
DIR. Melton Perras and Ambassador
Pezet for Peru. Later the departing
delegations had an appointment to
call at the White House and pay their
respects to President Harding.
Most of the delegates had arranged
to leave Washington before night
either for their homes or for vacation
trips. Ambassador Matthew, who had
taken an active part in the negotia-
tions, although he was not member
of the Chilean delegation, also plan
ned to go to New York in time to sail

The agreement OF Chile and Peru to

If war is to be prevented when in

On behalf of President Harding he
accented the designation of arbitra-

controversy has been sore spot and
this amicable adjustment is the heal

velopment of better relations through
out Latin America and of the promo
ton of the growth of sound opinion.
1t Is a vindication of the processes of
peace.

Written for The State Journal
By ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
young woman in the latter part of
my twenties and have been going with
a young man about the same age for
the past few years.
We have always had more or less
Of an understanding that We would
be married sometime when he had
a position that paid well. This he
has now and yet he keeps putting
me off and says he must help his
mother and father. which he does
not have to do
love him and he certainly does
me, but he has the idea I must
wait for him as long as he wants
me to. I feel we have gone together
long enough.
I have met a young man who al
most comes up to him in every way.
1 go with him when, I can. What
would you advise about telling him
this Would you wait until he hears
about it and approaches me on the
subject? What can I say? Any other
advice you can give will help, as
feel this lane must have a turning.
THANK YOU.
Casually mention the fact that you
have been to such and such a place
with the other man. 1t will prob
ably make your fiance think and may
result in action on his part. My ad-
vice is to go with the second young
man every opportunity you have. even
if you have to disappoint your fiance
do not mean that you should break
date with your fiance in order to go
somewhere with the other. But il
the other asks for an evening you
it to him.
There is nothing more difficult to
handle than a case like yours To
press the matter, you are apt to
lose the man you love, but to go on
waiting for him year after year is
certainly not fair to you. The only
course for you to follow is to go
with other men too when you have
the opportunity.

KEEP MULTIPLYING YOUR
WANTS.

Thru selfish satisfaction are men
lowered into the evils of ennui.
The less we want and the more
easily are we satisfied, the lower in
the scale of progress are we placed.
Only thru much dissatisfaction and
a multiplying of our wants are we
spurred to action and a useful ex-
istence.
Better fail in thousand attempts,
and present to the world a SCARED
and vigorous frame, than weakly to
try for but a single goal-and attain
lit.
There are those who sneer at the
one who is always trying to change
conditions-to upset what looks like
la contented existence. But this world

Luthers.
And you who feel deeply in your
bones that you want many things,
here's a handclaSp to you and may
you attain many of thepli
If everybody kept multiplying their
wants-and at the same time kept
multiplying their efforts to attain
them-it wouldn't be long before this
old world would be baptised into a
new birth of progress.
The more you have to do, the more
you will do.
Keep multiplying your wants!
Restless energy is far more valuable
than energy nailed tightly in a box
and relegated to the attic of your
brain.
The main thing is not to let your
wants run over you. This will never
happen if you keep bigger than any
one of your wants-and if you keep
every one of these wants of yours
well fed.
A friend of mine tells me that he
has what John D. Rockefeller hash t
"a whole multitude of wants.
Let me say that he is poor, indeed,
who has no wants.

The Business Girl and Matrimony-2.
IT DORoTHT DIX
Wszlass xzigAssa Raia Wcsnan Wsaeez.

The Business Girl and Matrimony-2.
If the business girl, then, doesn't
marry, it is pretty sure to be her own
fault, and there are two reasons for
this. The first is that she knows far
better than the society girl does. and
has fewer illusions about them. The
woman who works with a man has
such n closeup view of him that
nobody except his wife ever gets. She
sees him without the veneer OF his
society manners. She sees him when
he is sick, and when he is well, when
he's tired and worn, and nerve racked
and full OF anxieties and fears, and
she secs exactly how he reacts to all
the strains of life.
It is easy enough for a man to be
carpet knight, and say beautiful and
chivalrous things to a girl he sees once
a week, until he looks to her like an
understudy of Sir Galahad. 1t is easy
enough for man to puff out his
chest, and brag about the big deals he
has pulled off, and to throw his money
around when he takes a girl out, IN
til he makes her think he's a second
Rockefeller, and as good a spender as
Coaloil Johnny.
But no man lives who can put any,
thing over on the girl who takes his
dietation, or checks up his sales. She
has his number to the decimal point.
She knows whether he's ready to pro-
tect weak woman, or If he is making
a fool of silly little cash girl She
knows the measure of his ability and
Just how far he is likely to go. She
knows whether the money he spends
is wrung out of the thin pay envelopes
OF poor scrub women or not.
And, knowing these things, she can
forecast what the life of the wife of
such a man would likely be. and very
often it makes her job look mighty
good to her. For she can quit when
she gets tired of it and the wife can't.
Moreover no mean man treats fe-
male employe as he does his wife. He
doesn't dare to.
And the business girl with her good
job is far more choosey about whom
she marries than the society girl is.
It is the privilege that her estate of
independence gives her. The girl who
stays at home and who has no fortune
of her own, feels that she must marry
because she must have a meal ticket.
She can't expect her father to support
her forever. Also she must marry to
get something to do to keep her from
perishing of boredom.
The business girl has an interesting
and absorbing occupation to fill her
thoughts, and her own pocketbook, so
she can afford to pick and choose
when she comes to selecting a hus-
band, and not take just anybody as
the dependent must do.
OF course plenty of business women
don't marry, but it isn't because they
couldn't

occurred the greatest loss OF public
sympathy the unions have ever suf-
ferevd.
During the present strike of shop
men, trainmen deserted their trains in
Arizona, leaving men, women and
children, sick or well, to suffer the
uncomfortable heat and dust of a broad
expanse of desert. = Once more union
ism lost heavily in public sympathy.
When coal miners left their Jobs
and other men went to dig coal to
keep American industry going and to
warm American homes, outlaws in
sympathy with the unions attacked
the workers and brutally murdered %
OF them. Leaders of unions made
comment in the nature of extenuation
and unionism suffered another ire
mendous loss of public sympathy.
Mr.. Gompers probably is right in
saying that there are few on the out
side who synpathize and the question
is, what is unionism going to do about
it? Will it go on in the course that
has proven such calamity, or will
it return to it's basic principles?

THE GOVERNMENTS DUTY

The first duty of government is &c
protect its citizens in their legal
rights. Where such rights are in
question, courts have been established
by which judicial determination OF
the issue might be made and which
would be binding upon both of the
contesting parties. For many years
this government so functioned as to
require that all disputes which might
affect the public peace should be ju-
dicially determined, and the man who
undertook to settle his own troubles
by force was regarded as a disturber
of the public peace and punished for
his offense.
The development of labor organiza-
ton has introduced into our national
life new kinds of disputes which seem
not to be subject to public control
or determination. The growing pro-
test against disputes which are settled
by force and a continuing demand
that the public peace should not be
disturbed by disputes of this charac-
ter has led organized labor to con-
tinuous protest against compulsory ar
bitration. Upon the other hand, there
has been a continual demand and a
continuing effort to bring about the
creation of some settled means for
the determination of these conflicts.
The course the government has fol-
lowed is not subject to just criticism
at the hands of the shopmen. In
his attitude toward labor, President
Harding probably has the support Of
a vast majority of the American peo-
pie, who, themselves, are workmen,
of square deal which is character
istic Of the American spirit, has al
ways been manifested in the attitude
Of the public toward labor disputes
and strikes. With public opinion
back of them, labor unions have won
many fights for protective legislation
and for better working conditions. If
public opinion had been back of them
in the shopcraft strike, there would
have been little doubt of their ulti-
mate victory.
The issue now presented is not
merely resort to the injunction as a
means of protecting life, liberty and
property. The fundamental issue &
the right to protection while engaged
in legitimate occupations. Most of
the shop workmen quit their Jobs and
other men took their places. Some of
those who quit have gone about their
own affairs and have been 1aw-abid-
ing. Some others have not pursued
that course. They have endeavored
to interrupt interstate traffic; they
have tried to prevent the employment
Of a sufficient number of men to
maintain an absolutely necessary pub
lie service; they have resorted to vio-
lence against persons and property:
they have denied to others the rights
they claim for themselves.
The injunction is merely one means
by which the administration is en-
deavoring to perform its duty in pro-
tecting interstate commerce. The real
issue is the right of one man to work
without unlawful interference from
others.
