OUTLAWING WAR.

TO those who put their hopes OF
peace in the mere machinery of ar
bitration, Judge Florence Il. Allen
addressing a Y. w. C. A. convention
said:
when there is no law against
war, we cannot even begin to en-
force the greatest rule of equity be-
tween nations, the law of the sacred
ness of life. Those who rely com
pletely upon world court for
achieving peace forget that such a
court cannot stop war until there
is law forbidding war.
1T is so in our. ordinary courts.
/ have before me the most heinous
murderer; | cannot try him, much
less sentence him, until there is
law defining and providing for
the punishment of murder.
Any fighting, unless in selfde-
Tense between individuals, is Grim
inal and killing, unless in self-de-
Tense, is murder We have to make
fighting, unless in elf-defense, is
criminal and is murder And she
wants women to take a prominent
part in it.
None of the efforts yet made to
insure peace have got very far
because they have stopped short OF
this logical and necessary step of
defining and prescribing interna-
tional murder after the manner III
which civilized nations treat indi-
vidual murder. The League of
Nations, the New World Court, es-
tablished at the Hague, the limita-
ton of ornaments, the proposed
truce of 10 years suggested for
Europe by Lloyd George, all repre-
sent mere temporizing with the big
sest problem of civilization instead
of recognizing realities and doing
what nearly all rational men and
women know in their hearts should
be done.

richly intersperSed with Scotch

were Scotch and Irish situations ga

in the report of the address.

SUNDAY MOVIES

A fashionable suburb of large
mid western city has decided that
lit does not want Sunday movies.
Until lately there were no movie
houses within it's limits. When a
new theater ventured to try out
public opinion by giving Sunday
SHOW free, the house was filled, but
police stopped the show, and the
general sentiment of the community
upholds them. This action is taken
under a state law which has never
been enforced in most cities because
lit would interfere with baseball and
other athletic sports.
1t is an open question whether
Sunday movies do more good than
harm. 1t is possible that more peO-
pie would go to church if there We're
none. Possibly more would do d
little good reading The argument
in favor usually concerns itself with
the young people who have got
to be amused and interested some
how, implying that the movies are
at least harmless.
The theme for serious thought
is whether a generation is growing
up incapable of amusing itself. If
it is, probably the movies are as in
.nocuous as any other artificial form
OF amusement. Bat is it true?

The Shirt Of Rotary.

The more we know OF Rotary
the more we know that we don't
know, but, one thing is certain, the
more we know OF Rotary the more
we want to know. Our desire be
comes intense for greater under
standing of this wonderful force fGl
good that has literally charmed the
whole world.
Rotary has been established
around the world in twenty-five
different countries with over q
thousand clubs and over eighty
thousand members. Rotary is grow
ing. 1t is still going on, but are
all Rotarans going on with Rotary
am afraid that we have many mem
bers in Rotary who look upon
Rotary as a luncheon club-a place
where they Neet bunch of good
fellows once a week, have a lunch
and good time for an hour or so
and let it go at that
Rotary is more than a club, or
a member of federated clubs. It is
4 movement the like of which has
never been known since the Christ
started it on this earth over two
thousand years ago. 1t is a move
ment for putting into action the
principles of the Golden Rule. The
meeting together once a week, the
luncheon, the singing, the good fell
IoWship and the instructive talk is
process means to an end Ia
sckool where men grow in under
standing of Rotary. The real Ro-
tary is to be found in the hearts
of men.
To get the Spirit of Rotary one
must &c after it. II viii not come
20 you and You cannot get it alone.
The Spirit Of Rotary is born in
She hearts Of men as they mingle
together in good fellowship. Once
every week Rotarians gather round
the luncheon table, every man there
representing a different business or
profession some with abundance OF
money and more with bat very lit
tie, bnt, all recognize and estimate
each other on The common level Of
quality Of effort instead Of quantity
Of effort 1t is the man within the
man that counts in Rotary, There
we call each other by the first
name, We greet each other as dear
old friends, we cGat and chaff and
sing and play together and unc0n-
sciously the Spirit OF Rotary is born
in each OF us It becomes living
force within us compelling us TO be
happy. We are as boys again eager
for the companionship Of each other,
Did not the great Master Rotarian

Heaven we must become as little

approaching the Kingdom of Heaven
when we gather together for our
Rotary hour.
Rotary for Others.
The splendid thing about the
Spirit OF Rotary is When once you
get it you are not content until
you give it away to some one else.
You have to go after it to get it
and when you get it you cannot
keep it until you give it away. The
Spirit of Rotary is not something
to enjoy at the meetings and leave
it at the meeting place until you
come again next week. No, it is

Howard Zimmerman, the discover
or of this alleged fact, may not be

fists, but he is familiar with radio
and youches for his revelation. He

roaches in his military service, and
always wondered how it was possible
for the whole tribe to appear on the
instant whenever one Of them, for
aging about, happened to discover
something edible Finally he tried
Iputting a single roach in sealed
glass jar, with food, and found that
the rest flocked around just the
same as soon as the roach inside
found the food.
The conclusion seemed inevitable
! that the forager communicated with
his friends and relatives by means
of radio, and subsequent conclu-
sions, he says, have corroborated
this theory. He says the reaches
use wave length Of half an inch
or so, with very low frequency, and
have the whole apparatus built into
their own anatomy.
1t may be so. There are cells with
Ielectric batteries in them, then why
not bugs? And many kinds of in
sects must have mysterious senders
and receivers Of some sort, for they
certainly communicate with each
other in ways that man has never
been able to understand. So dc

Timorous souls who fear another

account such facts as these, recently
made public in Berlin by Gen.
Altrock:
For every hour of the last long
war, Germany lost 46 men killed
and Toe wounded.
The total number of Germans
killed was 1,80S,00
The total number of wounded
was 4,246,000.
Directly and indirectly, he reck-
ons the total loss of life in Ger
many, caused by the war, at 12,-
