Service Clubs.

The Rotary, Kiwanis and similar clubs
distinctively modern in motive and spirit They
stand for the awakened sense of community
fellowship and service They differ from the
old-fashioned club in that they identify them
selves with the life of the community and ser
iously promote the common welfare. The re-
markable growth of these clubs expresses the
new spirit of get-together-ness that character
ICES the progressive city.
The service clubs, or luncheon clubs, as they
measure the leadership of America in civic and
business life. These clubs have made munich
pal government more effective and have
strengthened the programs of chambers of
commerce. They have become the organized
force behind all community welfare work
They have made the dreams of many charitable
institutions come true. They have made posi-
BILE the solution of many community problems
Talent in public speaking and in organza-
ton has been discovered and developed by these
clubs. They have given to many cities a new
social solidarity and fcstered the spirit of serv
ice. They have put pep and punch into bust
ness. The modern mems club is the counter
part of the old town meeting that made New
England great, laid the foundations for repre-
sentative government in this republic and de-
veloped the spirit of democracy. The mems
service club is one Of the most valuable assets
in the American city.

Where Help Is Most Needed.

InaSmuch as there is no nationality

elements of the starving and naked peoples in
eastern Europe when the American and other
foreign relief agencies arp already doing their

count only OF need. and asks question about
race. religion politics? The question is one
that is certain to arise when the Rock Island
committee begins its drive for Jewish relief.
The question is a fair one, and deserves to be
answered. All evidence from eastern Europe.
and particularly from those regions between
central Europe and eastern Europe where most
OF the Jewish people of the world are congre-
gated, tends to show that special Jewish re-
lief is needed. It Is needed not because of any
distinction that Is made by the general Ameri-
can and British agencies now at work. but be-
cause of local conditions and pre1udices that
defeat the purpose OF these agencies.

Mixing the Bottles.

Little Evelyn Hale, whose hcme is in a
neighboring state, is alive today, but that is
because a hospital is near her home, so that
doctors and nurses and a stomach pump could
be got into action quickly. Otherwise Evelyn
would be dead. Her father got up in the dark
to give her some cough medicine. A bottle
containing a poison solution was on the same
shelf with the cough medicine Father grasped
the wrong bottle-that was all.
Much has been written about the wicked
ness Of keeping any kind OF poison drugs where
they can be taken or administered by mistake
Much has been written, too, about giving any
kind of medicine in the dark because of the
likelihood of giving an incorrect dose. as well
as the danger of giving entirely the wrong one

writing ever seems to be enough to protect the

Bright Outlook for Rivers.

For years the rivers have had friends who
asserted that they had not outlived their use
fulness that they were capable of giving serv-
ice which in some respects would be found
more satisfactory than that rendered by the
railroads, and that money spent in improving
them would yield rich return. Eloquently as
they argued however, their words were not
half so convincing as the fact that Pittsburgh
steel companies have lately begun to ship their
products by water and preparing to do so
on a large scale. The proof of the pudding is
the eating, and one may be sure that no mere
sentimental consideration would induce these
great corporations to use the waterways; they
are employing this method of transportation
because it is profitable.
The rivers make possible important econo-
mics in freight rates. That was a significant
meeting which was held last week by. the
Evansville Qnd.) Chamber of Commerce to
discuss with Pittsburgh steel men the posi-
bility of using the Ohio and other streams of
the Mississippi system to advantage for the
transportation of bulky freight. 1t signified
that the subject of utilization of the inland
waterways has at last been transferred from
the realm of the theoretical to the practical. The
time for talking has drawn to end; action is
taking its place. 1t was brought out at the
Evansville meeting that a number of large
will be we'll worth while to ship by barge. This
should give impetus not only to the movement
for the slack-watering of the Ohio and its nav
igable affluents, but to the project for linking
the river and the Great Lakes with a canal.

World Growing Tolerant.

N One certain result of the arms conference,
concluded Monday in Washington, is that the
nations of the world will in future think less
OF war and more of peace. For three months
delegates representing several Of the import
ant powers have been working diligently to the
end that future armed conflicts be avoided.
These delegates are returning home to report
what they have done and to give their aid in
getting their governments to give official ap-
prevail to the treaties endorsed. That the con-
ference has been even more of success than
most of its hackers predicted it would be Is
indicated by the settlement of the Shantung
differences. This was not accomplished until
Saturday night 1t will be recalled that few
people, when the conference opened, ventured
opinions that the conference could do anything
except possibly recommend a naval holiday
Yet the conference considers the naval holiday
Recommendation only small part of its work.
The Pacific treaty is of momentous importance.
as also is the agreement between Japan and
China regarding the disposition of Shantung
and other contested territory.
noteworthy fact is that most of the Euro
pean and Asiatic delegates consider the con-
ference a continuation Of conferences started
with the Versailles treaty negotiations, and
that they have given the League of Nations
and its original sponsors much credit for the
success of the arms conference, which really
has no official connection with the league This
opinion is not shared-oficially, at least-by
the United States delegates. but if there is any
way of knowing what the people are thinking
about it is quite certain that the people are
connecting the work Of the league at Versailles
with the disarmament conference at Washing
ton. But no matter where the inspiration came
from and no matter at what assembly the hopes
for a naval holiday first found concrete express
sion, the fact remains that the Washington
conference has been making history and that
It has been leading the great nations toward
peace instead of toward war

Concentration is due not only to the fact
that under his direction Rock Island has an
