WASHINGTON, Jan 1.-Two years
to a day have passed since the league of
nations was born, but only in the self
imposed Seclusion of his private citizen
ship does the man who had most to do
with its creation celebrate the birthday.
Woodrow Wilson, admittedly the parent
Of the league of nations which now en-
braces IL nations. did not interrupt his
silence to point out that the league which
had been declared dead" so many times
was indeed alive and functioning. Nor
did he lift his voice to contend that while
America had not yet joined the league.
there was no association of nations in
existepce a. vet to take the place Of the
league
Nor are there any spokesman for the
Wilson viewpoint arguing the case one
way or another. The Democrats who fol
lowed Wilson when he was in office are
not the same Most of them have drifted
from the Wilson standard and taken it
for granted that the league Is a dead af-
fair. 80 far as the United States is CON
cerned. Only small group clings to the
notion. that the league has nine lives and
can't be killed and that the major issue
of the 1924 presideutial> campaign will be
the league of nations again. In the Re
cent speech Of Corden Huh, newly elected
chairman Of the Democratic national com
mittee. is seen the germ of the Wilson
doctrine as it may be applied to fit cam
paigns--aR- argument that the present
business depression is due directly to the
failure of the United States To join with
the other powers in the preservation OF
the peace of the world, particularly En-
rope Mr.. Hull's plea for economic co
operation and his statement that world
wide economic conference is essential but
the cOrrolary to the Democratic argument
that the lack of economic cooperation in
the last two'years Is responsible for pres
ent conditions.

Harding and the League.

| No account of what has happened since
/ the league of nations came into existence
would be accurate without a statement of
/ the gradually changing spirit of the
| Harding administration toward the league
| Of nations itself. President Harding and
| Secretary Hughes are a. determined as
| ever not to commit the United States to
| membership in the league as at present
| constituted. but in more ways than one
| they have shown an attitude of friendship
instead OF hostility. They have indig
IHantlv denied that America would in any
way try to undermine the league of ma
tiOnS. Mr.. Harding has gone 80 far as to
| say that the league is a good thing-fOr
| EurGpe-aud should abide. No longer is
| the mere mention of the league considered
| impairment. Officials recognize the
Ileague as q going concern with a specific
object.
This doesn't mean, as some observers
| have hoped. that the United States is
ready to submit for the approval of the
| league certain treaties which are agreed
upon at the Washington conference and
which must obviously be made world
wide in theft application to be effective
| 1T does mean that the United States will
| continue to deal with the u nations i'm
| the league Of nations as individual coun-
| tries. This viii not prevent Great Brit
ain or France. or any other powers which
| have attended the Washington conference
| llDli AHIiiS tiit ilidNItIfiA Oh the league OF
nations to hasten the adoption generally
Of those treaties which only small group
of nations signed at Washington The
prospects are that Arthur James Ralfour
of Great Britain. who has always been
prominent figure in the meetings of the
council of the league Of nations will re-
port to the league of nations at the next
opportunity and viii endeavor to perpet-
uate IA friendly relationship between spe-
cial conferences Of a small number of ma
tons such as took place here and the
world with the exception of the United
States. Germany and Russia. The belief
prevails among many of the foreign dele
gates here for the arms conference that
within Il year both Russia and Germany

THOSE FRYING
PAN NOISES

The twenty year old story OF the
motorist who had several parts of
his car left over after he had fin
ished assembling it, is being par
allied by many radio fans these days
They are on the trail Of the noises
in the phones-those frying" nois-
es. you know-for if you're a radio
enthusiast you have undoubtedly
heard them too. These noises US
ually go right on after the thorough
over hauling has been completed
Some of those on the inside"
have traced the noise" to the pol
arization which is constantly taking
place in the commonly used dry 81
battery. A liquid battery, II is
said. does not produce these char
acteristic sounds because this in
ternal action does not take place.
To supply the demand for a noise
less and otherwise more satisfactory
"B' battery. the willard Storage
Battery Company has designed a
new rechargable battery. each cell
of which is enclosed in an indi-
yidual glass jar. The extra heavy
plates in this new battery are in
sulated by this company's Thread
ed Insulation and the whole group
connected in series with burned on
lead connectors.

power over women; you VIII boil
with rage al the foolishness of wo-
men: you will weep for the poor de-
serted husband; you will flush with
hatred a [ the arch william. and shud
der with horror at some OF his deeds:
you will feel a personal response
to the ardent love scenes; your eyes
will feast on the gorgeous settings;
you will be carried along with the
gaiety of the Monte Carlo Casino and
the ultra-smart, pleasure seeking
throngs. You will despise and at
the same time grudingIy admire the
sneering. insolent adventurer to
whom all women are fair prey. You
will run the gamut of every emotion
while watching the melodramtic
story unfold on the screen.
Besides these dramatic thrills
there are spectacular scenes which
make you hold your breath. and sit
with your hands gripping the arms
Of your chair while the chills play
tag up and down your spine.
Your heart will skip a beat or two
when you see the man and woman in
a small boat on a raging lake with
the water swirling around them and
the already half submerged boat
rapidly filing with water. But you
will breath a sigh of relief when
finally stumbling and falling again
and again the man with the woman
i'm his arms reaches the swampy
shore and safety.
Whether you are a gambler or not
YOU cannot help but feel yourself
grow as tense as the faces around
the roulette table as the wheel
spins around and you see the money
swept away from the gamblers, and
realize that around this gambling
table many fortunes are lost and
won in a single evening.
You will SILVER with excitement
when you see the man and woman
trapped in a high tower with the
flames shooting up all around them.
The helplessness OF the victims, the
rapidly mounting flames, the dash
ing arrival of the fire department
you find yourself holding your breath
for fear the f1remen cannot reach
the doomed couple. Then the life
net is spread and once more those
chills run up and down your spine
as you see the entrapped couple poi
sed for the long jump into the net
far below.
Dramatic. emotionally exciting.
spectacular, no more wonderful pic
ture has ever been shown on the
screen than Universals super-pro-
duction of Foolish Wives which
opens at the Parthenon theater to-
day, for weeks run.

classic by Alexander Dumas, The
Three Muskateers" and added to
from the Memoirs of D'Artagnan.
this feature is said TO embody more
that is adventurous, romantic and
dramatic than it has ever before
been possible to incorporate in a
film vehicle.
The feats of workmanship alone
in this picture are said to be worth
the price of admission. Added to
that are a specially arranged pro-
logue and a musical accompaniment
written to order for the production
by Louis Gottschalk. one OF the best
contemporary composers
This picture comes to the Bijou
following a remarkable run in New
York where 1t was shown at the Ly-
ric Theatre and given the unani-
nous approval of Broadway.
Fred Niblo. who directed Douglas
Fairbanks in The Three Muska-
teers" was formerly a Cohan and
Harris star in the "speakies."

BOOSTING
COMMUNITY
SERVICE

Thomas E. Pickerill. member of
the national staff of Community
Service, Incorporated. with head
quarters at New York City. is in
Hammond and Lake county for the
purpose of interviewing representa-
tive citizens and groups relative "a
the National Community Service
movement which is being adopted
by many cities throughout the
country.
Fairgrounds, community singing,
community dramatics. pageants and
community center work constitute
part of the activities of the Com
munity Service movement Mr.. Pick :
GRILL is not in the city for the pur-
pose of organizing the work. but
to find out whether the community
of Hammond desires such a move
ment-
In an interview. Mr. Pickerill
said: 1T is not play for plays SAX q
that we advocate the extension of
recreation facilities. The real pur-
pose Is to foster better citizenship
and a greater community service
When people play together and sing
together they will work and plan
for their community together. 1t
is the neighborhood spirit that we
are after; to. revive the good old
traditions of neighborhood and
community life that justifies the ex-
istence OF the Community Service
movement.
Nor have we forgotten the ex-
~x-h
organization, War Camp Commun-
ity Service existed" continued Mr..
Pickerill. ITO enjoy the democracy
for which the boys fought. should
be our earnest endeavor, and to
bring into participation everybody
in the community regardless of
creed. politics, wealth or power.
The air of Community Service. If
adopted in Hammond. would be to
make every citizen feel that he
really belongs to make him a
booster for his city. And this is
accomplished in a large measure by
making the leisure time of the peo-
pie more expressive and more val
liable to themselves and to the com
munity through community-wide
recreation. vacant lot play, com
muuity music, athletics, and other
leisure time activities that are
wholesome for old and young"
THE character of an organiza-
tion Is known by the people behind
it and the fact thai among the
officers of the National Community
Service organization are such peo-
pie as Myron T. Herrick. Joseph
Lee. Raymond B. Fosdick. Clement
Studebakcr. Hugh NICK, Landon
and Mrs. Thomas A Edison. is evil
dence that the organization has a
nationwide prestige and that 1t
will keep its agreements to the
letter"
There are nearly two hundred
Community Service cities in the
country. among those of Indiana
being Ft Wayne. Elkhart. Goshen.
wabash, Marion. Michigan City,
Lafayette whiting and others.
Mr.. Pickerill is scheduled TO
speak before the East Chicago
Chamber of Commerce tomorrow
evening. He will remain In Ham
mond several days.
