out the fact that he had heard
of the Covenant? They tell q
story in Washington that upon
the arrival in this country Of
the delegates they were told in
blood-curdling tones that any a.
fusion to tho fact that such an
animal existed would bring dire
punishment upon the offender.
They were made to understand
that President Harding felt that.

securely In its steel cage. he
woke up in the night after a
horrid dream In which he had
seen the dreadful lion escape
from the cage, enter the Con.

take control of the Conference.
What q pity It didn't! The
alternative was an alliance or

When ratification came. all
tho enthusiasm which made itself
felt on the first day OF the
Conference had oozed out. Con.

to accept the admitted danger

to return to competitive arma-

chart or compass. An old ship
with a poor rudder seemed bet
ter than mono at all. That is
the feeling which secured ratifi.
cation plus
HOPE FOR THE COVENANT.
And thereby hangs . hope still
cherished by many In and out
Of tho Senate. The seeds of
trouble in the alliance are recog-
nized. When Russia finds itself
and that great nation IL sure
to return to stability-and when
Germany il again on it's feet,
and that productive people will
win back prosperity-is there
not danger Of an opposition al

Is that 1t 10 almost always
the result of some avoidable error
or misconception. With the
rare exception Of . man who IL
by nature criminal or
waster, there need be no such

Every man has a career be-

can find q niche in the social
order into which he can tit him

The trouble In 20 many cases
10 that 1t takes time and oppor-

what direction his natural bent
lies. He springs from \ certain
stock or class, and the circum-
stances which surround him in

he has failed. The waters of
despair close above his head.

Such mistakes spring from q
wrong conception Of the nature of
tho human mind. We are too apt
to believe In a kind Of abstraction
called general ability" which is
expected to exhibit itself under
any and every condition.
According to this doctrine, II a
man Is clever at one thing or sue

he must be equally clever at every
