let the idea sink In.
Probably most people will wonder
how come" the president didn't
spring his scheme until after II was
too late to amount to anything In the
sixty-seventh Congress and yet did
spring IL too soon for the sixty-eighth.
An echo or something Ia liable TO
answer that maybe the administration
was afraid OF Senator Bornh's plan
to stump the country all summer In
favor Of an international court, and
hoped. by the presidential announce

to spend every minute Of their time
trying to solve problems which face
them daily. The number OF cases OF
sickness is increasing and many Sam

In many homes there is very little
fuel Although Miss Cora M. Beale,
executive secretary of the Welfare

most cases the supply was limited and
the people were living in one room,

physician and policeman.
One family, which the Welfare AS
sociation is looking after. is of very
peculiar case. The father is an able

is willing, yet the family of seven or
eight members suffers from lack Of
proper support. The father is said
to be neurotic, in other words. most
of the time he imagines he is sick. de-
spite the fact that he has been eH-
amined by physicians who say that
he is we'll but lacks ambition. The
is described as q woman with

are neglected as result. This fam
lily needs help even though the father
has gone to work. In the meantime
food, fuel and clothing are needed.
Being the type of man he is. he
earns the very lowest wages and sell
dom holds job very long.

There have been plenty OF small
sized labor troubles In this country OF
more importance In themselves than
the little frontier squabble between
Poland and Lithuania.
or course the reason this petty dis
turbance attracts so much attention Is
the fear that some country a good
deal bigger-meaning Rusaa-will
break into II. An incident seemingly
of no more consequence served as
the signal for the World War to
start.
II isn't likely that this spark will
touch of any such explosion. but 1t

ing was let out for offices.
