More Secret Treaties.

The story from London of secret anne1es to
the Franco-Turksh accord of last October is
not very credible, despite the high source to
which the correspondent credits it. People who
forge treaties nowadays usually strive to make
them plausible so that they shall be supported
as much as possible by independent and known
facts. This treaty is not even we'll forged.
Aside from the unlikelihood that If the French
government were prepared to deliver up the
Christian minorities Of Anatolia to the mercies
OF the Turks it would put this pledge down in
writing. the proposals contain one passage of
sort wholly novel in international affairs In
three consecutive articles the contracting pow
ers agree that no stipulation Of this agreement,
even though it be Of secondary importance
shall be infringed; that on the strength of their
honor and their historical traditions that they
will not attempt any violations of the present
conventions, and that the French government
will never. under any circumstances or through
any reason or influence that may present itself.
take action against Turkey contrary to the
treaty. however exceptional may be the cir
cumstances" Governments do not say that sort
of thing. II you believe that the other party
to the contract intends TO doubIe-cross you, you
will still believe it even though he writes down
three times a promise he will not Probably

The Miners Side.

It may seem far cry from geology TO coal
strikes, but the report Of the geological survey
on the soft coal industry clearly explains a
good deal Of the coal miners discomfort. The
enrvey shows that during the last 90 years the
coal miners have lost average of go working
days year. That is bad enough Suppose the
ordinary business man worker in any other
line were forced to remain idle, without COM
pensation. three working days out of every 10?
Lately 1t has been much worse for the miners
Last year they worked only little more than
half time. One weeks pay had to be stretched
over nearly two weeks.
In such situation wage scales obviously
cannot be taken at their face value miner
and his family have TO keep on living whether
they are working not. 1t is the years income
that counts, and the average years wage of the
miners last year was certainly a starvation
wage This is fact to be kept in mind as the
coal situation comes to crisis. 1t does not
Justify strike. but helps to explain a strike,
by explaining the mood of the strikers Hunger
does not reason clearly. It is not higher wages
that the miners require, but more work per
miner-or fewer workers per mine. The industry
is in a fairly muddled state with no rational
adjustment of labor TO production. Of wages to
profits, or Of profits to prices, and with large
overhead expense carried through long periods
of idleness, to be paid for by the public. What

Congress Leadership Needed.

The Harding administration has begun to
get some results. During the first year under
Harding there was little progress made in gov
eminent. The legislature and the senate had
no outstanding leaders who could get good leg
islation through Neither party in congress had
any complete legislative program and neither
party seemed desirious OF striking out on new
courses However, things are changing in
Washington. The president called a disarma-
ment conference and hoped against hope that
this conference would succeed in settling some
troublesome problems. The senate ratified the
conferences agreement concerning the island
OF zap some time ago Last week il ratified the
four-power treaty, which is considered the most
important treaty coming out of the disarmament
conference. 1t now seems almost certain that
the other treaties and agreements fostered bs
the conference will meet with the senate's ap-
proval, including the naval disarmament
treaty, which has been hailed as one of the mas
ter strokes Of international diplomacy. The ad-
ministration has not been as successful in
dealing with domestic problems as it has been
in dealing with foreign problems, but this may
come if President Harding can force real lead
ership in the Two houses. Thus Tar leader
less congress has been argued into ratifying the
presidents foreign program. but it has been
the history of this country that a leaderless
congress cannot do much with domestic prob
lens.

The Girl in the Kitchen.

A girl attending the University Of Chicago
was lost for few days while she took little
side excursion into domesticity. She abandoned
her classes and left her dormitory 10 go forth
and hire out as cook in a city family. She had
never cooked before, and when she reappeared
in her old haunts and toll her experiences she
frankly acknowledged that she had burned the
steak and the potatoes. What if she did? II is
probable that her mother before her did the
same thing If she we're brought up in a home
where she had to work or went TO such home
when she married The revelation that she was
unequipped for the job OF housekeeping ought
not TO discourage her, for she is only one Of
vast army OF girls similarly unecuipped the
majority of whom will be able to overcome that
difficulty If it should ever be necessary For
education in home-making is a progressive
thing that even the best trained young woman
cannot claim TO have thoroughly az her fingers
ends when she enters her new home and pro-
ceeis to-take up her domestic duties. A course
in domestic science has made many a good
cook and has spoiled others The young woman
need not be discouraged because her first VEN
ture in cooking was a failure any more than
she need be discouraged If her ventures into the
fields of literature and philosophy should fail
to land her on the topmost pinnacle of fame If
she ever needs to be ho1sekeeper and let us
hope she does, her college culture viii not stand

for many centuries the birch switch was used
to ignite the minds OF youth with the three Rs
OF education A school teacher in Pennsylvania
used the old fashioned switch on one of his
pupils the other day and was fined for his
trouble The court did not inquire whether the
switch ignited the boys mind. One great truth
modern methods Of human ignition recognizes
is that You cannot illuminate person who does
not desire Illumination The propensity for re-
sisting the approach of wisdom dies hard in the
human race The essential difference between
man and machine is right here. The machine
must be externally Influenced and is entirely
creation of personal forces outside of itself A
man is different in kind from machine. He is
largely self-made- With his own viii and mind
and emotions man may form his own character
and shape his own destiny Most human wounds
are seIf-heaIing but a machine must be
paired. The best machine in the world lacks
that vital spark OF creative spirit that diheren-
tiates the human machine For this reason most
OF us are inclined to discredit the recent scien-
tifc attempt to create living organisms. The
subtle difference between an organization and
an organism has always puzzled ard dehed the
intelligence Of mankind. Science has so far
failed to create the necessary ignition to evolve
a living organism from mechanical organiza-
ton OF forces. The Creative Fiat that brought
light into the world will doubtless never have
a rival. The problem of human ignition will
probably never be solved By 30 The vial

Engine Troubles.

Man is much like the machine he makes
lust as each man has his peculiar character
istic, so each machine, whether il is mechan-
fcally similar to other machines or not, has its
own individuality. An automobile and a man
are much alike. They will both overhead under
certain conditions. An engine may miss fire or
back fire The mind of man performs similar
Tricks An engine may lose its power of com
preston and a man may lose his intellectual
punch. Some engines knock a great deal There
are men who have the same habit. Their bear
inss loose Some cars have loud cut outs
Some very irritating with their exhaust
power and fret nervously. These wear them
selves out with appearances of industry ard
accomplish little Others run quietly and efic-
iently Ignition troubles are the most common
with automobiles and with men. Man has
spent great deal OF his efforts trying to solve
the problems OF ignition. There are many ways
by which may get lit up. George Bernard
Shaw caustically remarks that TO get lit up with
liquor, bonded. and ripened TO wood or con-
cected and seasoned by the light Of the moon
win reduce ones mental illumination in direct
disproportion TO the amount OF illumination ex-
peeted.
The common reason for lack of ignition is
the failure to turn on the switch mans mind
cannot take ignition unless the switch of in
telligence is turned on. Many an engine has
refused to take fire because OF broken cur
rent Many man has cut himself of from
the sources of intellectual and moral inspira-
ton and allowed his life to meander on in dark

When You Don't Fee, INTO If.

There may be rare souls who
really and truly like to hoe pota-
toes, weed onions. battle. bake or
sew, but they be strange anomalies.
When not canting for the moral ed
ificstion of the younger generation,
most of US have as little love for
work as we have respect for what
the copy books used TO call honest
labor. The universal game is TO
get along with the least possible
amount of work. The popular way
of playing the game is by Identifying
ones play or game by referring to
| it casually Us my work" Thus we
hear many players telling of work
ing late at the offce'-an artless
listener might Suppose they had
been scrubbing the floor or washing
the windows, though actually they

No other one is so constantly
troubled with that tired feeling as
the fellow who won't work. There
Is precious little difference between
the tired business man and the gem
uine hobo, l mean as to what ails
the fellow The hobo fairly and
squarely repudiates all work IN all
its ways and forms: the tired bust
ness man tries to jolly himself that
his favorite game IS work
There is no time when We who
live without work so sorely need
work as at the very moment when
we feel too tired to undertake the
slightest exertion. The most seTi-
Gus mistake We make about this is
the misinteTpretation of our own
sensations. When d sedentary man
or woman feels just tagged out and
worn and weary at the end of the
days play and yearns nightly to
sink into a soft chair or even to re-
tire too early to bed, then is the
time when some real muscular work

So it came about quite naturally
that Iary tasted a bit OF the FROST

the tiled floors of the spacious
kitchen and buffers pantry and the
deep-napped carpets of the outer
rooms, perfectly content in simply
being there. She was airing her
stifed love of beauty The wedding
party had not yet arrived and
Mary's heart beat wildly with an
ticipation- She was tremendously
excited over the tiny part which
she was to play in this sumptuous
setting. She fluttered back and
forth between the pantry and the
dining room, with cut glass and sill
yer. intensely alive to the beauty of
every appointment
But the excitement stood her in
poor stead. A slip of the hand. a
crash of tinkling glass. and a deep
red stain of fruit juice crept down
the white front of her uniform, She
had come so far. but she was not
to serve, after all. The wedding
breakfast would go on as though
she were back at Cooks, frosting
birthday cake after birthday cake,
Tears Of disappointment blinded
her SO that she could not help in
