EX-GOVERNOR GOODRICH, of
Indiana, visits Moscow, and
the Soviet authorities show
him a gorgeous collection Of old
Russian crown jewels. He says:
We gazed at diamonds, immense
rubies, magnificent emeralds and
other marvellous stones until my
eyes fairly ached. I never expect
to see such sight again.
Strange land of pitiful contrasts
While tens of millions of Russian
citizens are slowly starving to
death, the government displays in
secret underground chambers pre-
cious stones worth the ransom of a
dozen kings.
Yet they did not suffice to ran
som a single one of the family Of
the last of the Romanoffs, all MUIR

Nor could these jewels, sold in

The DeLusiOn of Force

"HE assassination of Minister
Rathenau in Germany, and
i of Marshal Wilson in London,
and the murderous outbreak in the
coal mines in Herrin, ILL.,, all teach
the same lesson, all point to the
same cause of trouble. That les
son is that violence instead of
being way to reform, is the
greatest enemy to reform.
Civilization moves slowly, but it
does move. Little by little the
world is becoming a decenter
place to live in. Human existence is
on decidedly higher plane today
than it was a hundred years ago.
Fewer men are S yes, fewer wom-
en- are desperate and fewer are the
tears Of children. All of what we
have gained has been wrought by
the progress of education, by the
unfolding of our idea and by the
development Of the spirit of CO.
operation. No permanent gain has
been made by trickery, by cruelty
or by bloodshed.
1t is just as true now as it was
two thousand years ago that "they
that take the sword shall perish
by the sword"
1t is a complicated game we are
all playing and one that calls for
patience, self-restraint and a maxi
mum of intelligence.
Those who resort to violence are
either ignorant or wicked. The
ignorant who are led by mob-mad-
ness or drivn by hunger and
wrong to destroy life and property
are to be pitied.
Those who play upon the igno-
rant masses and incite them to des-
perate actions and who hope to
gain power or satisfy vengeance
or get profit from so doing, are
enemies of humankind. The Kaiser
and his Junkers found that force
and violence did not pay, and that
truth holds quite as much in indus
trial and political conflicts as it
held in the Great War.

Ocean Liners
as Aid NnUy'
yYY A. HARTMAN in the New
w York American last Sun
w o day drove home the most


vital argument for ship subsidy.
Under our flag is not single
one of the fast passenger ships es-
sential as naval auxiliaries to ac-
company our fleet if it fights its
battles-as it should-away from
our shores.
England has twenty-seven ships,
built since 1905, each over 10000
tons and over 20 knots speed. We
have none.
The Shipping Board has no such
ships to sell. Its tonnage is mainly
slow cargo boats. The faster ves-
sells which both our commerce and
our navy require ARE STILL TO
BE BUHT-built and operated by
private owners.
Hartman, to judge by what he
has done thus far, will supply more
money than anyone else to build
them, provided he can be assured
OF Government aid that will at
least help equalize the higher wage
scales that must be paid on Ameri-
can vessels.
The Government, through the
Shipping Board, is now losing $780,
100000 per year operating 400 of
its 1,400 ships.
The subsidy will be $15,0O0,0 900
the first year. 1t will induce the
sale of Shipping Board vessels to
private owners as well as the con-
struction of the high-class tonnage
the Shipping Board does not have
to sell. When we have in opera
ton q balanced merchant fleet of
100000 tons the annual subsidy
will be $30,0O0,0O0.
Considered as an expenditure for
naval auxiiiaries, this sum will be
just one-fifth of the $3.50, 900, 900 per
year saved by scrapping capital
ships under the Naval. Disarmament
Treaty.
We can have no naval security
without shipyards to build and re-
pair vessels in wartime-consider
the terrible destructive power of
submarines and airplanes today.
Merchant vessel construction must
help keep the shipyards alive now
that capital ship building is dis.
continued.
AS a naval measure alone the ship
subsidy bill is justified.

I11nOcents Abroad

0NE HUNDRED AND TWEEN
TY-FIVE boys from private
~ schools sailed few days ago
to spend two months in Europe,
under the auspices of The Ameri-
can Students Tour. The purpose
is in combining recreation with
education. But what kind of edu-
cation7
The party will, in these two
months, visit seven countries.
They will go to Louvain and other
Belgian battlefields, also the bat
tlefields of France. They will, of
course, do other things, such as
visiting the schools of Rugby,
Eton, Harrow and Winchester and
the Oxford and Cambridge univer-
sites. They will be received by
Headmaster Randall at Winchester,
Cardinal Mercier at Louvain and
the Pope at Rome!
They will get nothing good from
the battlefields of Europe. The
actual spectacle of destruction does
not feed the mind. Their attention
will be concentrated on fruitless
and formless things, and if, as is
probable, the thought of glory is
connected with those sordid scenes,
militarism will be further fostered
in the minds and souls of one hun
dred and twenty-five promising
boys.
1t, would seem as if a little i'm
agination could plan something
better in the way of education.
Europe-think of it!-full of the
historical monuments of our civili-
cation, on the one hand, and; on
the other, presenting living pic
lures of the actual results of this
momentous period.
And the boys are taken to dead
battlefields and futile ceremonial
functions!

done to a golden brown. It is
tender as a dream. Somebody
must have given to this lamb
chop the same intelligence and

vote to making a barcarolle or

Along with the chop is pale
green watercress for salad,
glistening with just the proper
amount Of dressing.
And after the watercress
comes the triumph Of the house,
the Crepes Suzette. These are
sort of glorified batter cakes.
They are made on a platter over
an alcohol flame at a little table
at your side. They are as thin
as paper. They come piping
hot as they are cooked. and are
covered with just the right
coating Of melted sugar.

You take a sip Of 1t and hold
It in your mouth. You must
not swallow 1t too hastily.
Then you get its wonderful
bouquet. soft and sweet with
the natural sweetness Of the
grape, a sweetness that does

After such a meal you can
lean back and repeat, as II a
passage from a solemn ritual:
"Serenely full, the epicure may

So says one woman.
What a soul-crushing load
of misery would be lifted from
the world II every married
woman could truthfully say the
same!
Unfortunately. very many
married women Enthusiastically
indicate that the ideal man is
about the exact opposite Of the
husband.
Maybe it In the wives own
fault-who can say in such mat
ters?
Perhaps they have permitted
their ideals to change since the
wedding day.
Perhaps they have lacked
within themselves the quail
ties that preserve a husband in
ideal condition.
TNHE perfect husband Is i'm
l. possible without the perfect
wife.
The only husband who can
be sure that he will always re-
main his wife's ideal is the man
who conveniently and judi
ciously dies.
A woman will tenderly carry
a dead lover in her heart for
fifty years, garlanding his
memory with the sweetest
flowers of her imagination
when she is apt to find fault
with a live one within six
months.

Der has some idea that he or she

such a feature as appealed to the in

the thought that when or if he was to
build he would have this feature in
his home. 1t is this desire that makes
SO many homes entirely different from

There is danger, however, in carry

either in the exterior or interior of a

A prominent insurance executive de-
cided not long ago that he would talk
to about 10000 agents who write poll
cies for his concern. He could not
get them all together, so he concluded
to use the phonograph. He prepared
an address of 400 words and then made
a master record.
This record was duplicated 20 times
and a catchy tune was put on the op-
posite side of the disk. Then these
records were mailed to the agents from
