SERVICE AND SCOUTING

During the past week, Boy Scouts of Prescott in cooperation with other organizations have dis tributed several hundred posters, window cards and literature relative to the Red Cross Seal sale, and collected and placed in repair nearly 200 old toys which will grace the municipal Christmas tree, and gladden. some poor kids hearts through the coming year. These two ac- tivities are parts of the service which scouting has rendered locally within the last few days. There were many smaller acts, performed by in dvidual scouts in line with their policy ot a good turn daily, that must pass unnoticed.
 The boys who distributed the Christmas seal posters gave up one-half of Saturday holiday in order to do their share in this work The col lection and repair of such a large number of toys called for a great amount of individual effort on the part of scouts as well an admirable dis play of teamwork. As is always the case the scouts who took part in these good turns did so smilingly, and with the best of good will, for a scout never renders grudging service.

UNIVERSAL HATS

THE League to Standardize Women s
 ! Clothes, Paris organization confesses de feat at the end of three years fight It had its foundation in a false idea, and naturally 1t could not last The object was to persuade working women to cut expenses by wearing universal hats. dresses and shoes. The psychological ele- ment was ignored, the personal equation wholly eliminated by those who, with the best of inten- tions, asked working girls not only to be coH- tent with their station in life, but to advertise It.
 As an object lesson, 100 "identic" hats were distributed to 100 working girls, and within A hours each hat had been retrimmed to suit the ideas Of the owner.
 Neither men nor women care to go about wear ing clothes that billboard them as being ot hum ble status. And tastes differ Recently on the Auteuil racecourse 5000 women foregathered and no two hats in the throng were alike. We'll meaning folk would be more useful if they should insist on a living wage for the working girl, and then permit her to direct her own lie, according to her own inclination.

NO SECRET PACT"

WYE fail to understand just why London w newspaper should make much over so- called secret Russo-German treaty or com pact looking to a joint attack on France ten years hence. There is nothing secret about the treaty, and all treaties of alliance in the last an alysis look to united action against a common enemy.
 The treaty is as open as open avowal can make it. It was officially cited by Russias representa- tive at Genoa and later Trotzky Russian minis ter of war, announced that Russia could not view with indifference the invasion of the Ruhr Valley by France, and that the Russian army might create diversion in the event of such an lnva- sion.
 Every student of international affairs knows that there is Russo-German alliance, and every informed persons knows that Germany is as eager for revenge on France today as France was eager for revenge on Germany ten years ago. It would be strange if this were not so.
 Only those ignotant of affairs, including few senators, overlook the obvious.

SPEED NEEDED IN SEAL SALE, WHAT
 THE SALE IS FOR
Reasons Why the Public is Urged to Buy and Use Christmas Seals
 Explained by Chairman

Speed must be shown in the pur- chase of the official Christmas seals
 for letters, postal-cards and packages, or the splendid direct service being rendered by the community nurse cannot be continued. This statement was made yesterday by Dr. R. N. Looney, local chairman of the Christmas seal sale for Prescott.
 It is impossible at the present time to make a report for progress of the Christmas seal sale in the county. Dr. John w. Finn, county chairman, has appointed workers in every sec ton of Yavapai with the exception of Jerome and Clarkdale, where the sale is being handled directly by local chairmen.
 Mrs. Inez Mcdonnell, secretary of the Arizona Anti Tuberculosis so ciety which issues the Christmas seals in Arizona and is sponsoring their sale throughout the state, de- clared yesterday that We must have action"
 It is possible that some of the public misunderstood the nature of the Christmas seals and the purpose for which their sale is being con ducted, those in charge of the sale believe. It was pointed out that while the Christmas seals are sold by the Arizona Anti Tuberculosis so- ciety to raise funds to carry on the war against tuberculosis in the state, this does not mean that the seals are unsightly; but are, in fact, particular ly well-desisDed from an artistic standpoint and are well calculated to remind those using them and those receiving them on mail, that the modern war against tuberculosis, a disease which has greater death list than that of the World war, must still be fought
 This war is carried on in com- munities by trained and registered nurses whose operations are partly financed by the anti-tuberculosis so- ciety, as is being done in Prescott. The Christmas seals which come in sheets of 100 at $l a sheet (they may be bought in smaller amounts, if desired), are sold to secure funds with which to finance the operations of community nurses and other agen- cies of the society combating the white plague.
 If these facts are clearly under stood by the public, to whom the appeal is being made to help by the purchase of Christmas seals and their use upon all mail The chairman said there will be little need to urge people to buy and use the seals liberally.

THE CLASSICS

TEE New York World observes that student l interest in Greek and Latin has been on the decline for years. So has education. Many finely educated young men and young women come out of our institutions of learning, but the percentage is not anything like as high as it was a generation ago, and two generations ago, so far as we are able to judge when it was the eX- ception for an inadequately educated person to receive diploma.
 Of course, the student bodies are larger, but so also are the teaching staffs-and the ehdow- ments. The endowments very much larger One university president boasts that his nstitu- ton has received about S22000,000 in the last few years, larger sum than all the colleges and universities in America could boast when Presi- dent Eliot was boy. It is doubtful if thorough scholars like Eliot will be as plentiful proportion ately in the next generation.
 As for a study of the classics, the subject ad mits of no argument. The classics are a part of . liberal education. Unless grounded in the clas sics no man is educated.

GOING SLOW IN EUROPE

D ECIDING to disagree temporarily will now U take is place among acts ot diplomacy along with accepting in principle
 European leaders conferring at London on German reparations found it wise to prevent a complete break by breaking temporarily, which indicates a disposition to proceed slowly with the complicated separations question.
 But postponing the decision cannot help the vexed situation It is surely significant that the date of the postponed meeting at Paris IS just a fortnight ahead of the day on which the mora torium expires Will not the disposition Of the statesmen be then to postpone the answer again.

Letters to the Editor
UNCONSCIOUS KNocKEER

To the Editor of the Journal-Miner
 Sir: There are a number of kinds of knockers, but the unconscious knocker does the most damage oi all. He is the knocker that dis parages his own community and the industries therein without any real intention of so doing.
 He is the fellow who in half hearted way damns his own com munity by faint praise. You might tell any of these unconscious knock CTS that they were knocking and each would at once dispute the fact and reply that they never failed tc give all the praise and commenda- ton that was due. At the same time this class of knockers is doing more real harm than all of the out and out knockers in all the world. The damage IS not done by any condem- nation but by weak praise.
 You can hear the industries of your own community knocked each day by these unconscious knockers. When the ancient Greeks desired to destroy a public man they at once began to damn him with faint praise and soon that public man was no more. Faint praise will damn our community more than anything else in all the world, it will tend more to convince the outside world that we have nothing worth while than any thing that can be done or said.
 Get out of the rut of faint praise; do not be an unconscious knocker.
 Stand right out in front and with earnestness speak words of praise for your own community. and the re- sources and industries therein Just because you do not happen to be directly interested in a particular in dustry does not justify you in con demning it either by faint praise or otherwise. United we stand but di- vided we are easy prey for destroy ing forces. Don't let yourself be an unconscious knocker.
