MR.. HUGHES SAID SOMETHING

e. Charles Evans Hughes, addressing the worlds dairy congress,
enunciated a statement which might form a text for every pulpit
and a motor for every home. He said: 'Peace is not a final goal,
but an opportunity
Tt never has been charged that the secretary of state is a ro-
mantle idealst. 1t is his habit to analyze with minuteness every
international suggestion for its political elements. The sentence
quoted above is the statement of a business man as well as a
STATESMEN. The more the reader dwens on the second half of the
sentence the more wildly will the relative values of peace and war
stare him in the face.
III Peace in itsef is the wistful objective of all reasonable men.
To the superficial mind, desiring it no less eagerly, it implies a
placid breathing spell, the removal of a haunting menace and an
everpresent fear. Mr.. Hughes penerates beyond that and in three
words summons up what peace consists of in its relation to human
iy. 1t lis an opportunity to work and produce and enjoy the fruits
thereof.
But the speaker meant more than that.
He was telling his audience that while there is peace men may
get together in friendliness from all parts of the world and solve
those problems in which lie the welfare, health and happiness of
al people; that great cooperative movements in science and medi-
cine and hygiene and %food-study may advance uninterruptedly to
major results which advance the whole standard of mankind.
It is reflection for vision to interpret; in it is to be found
the supreme argument against war and its futilty. Men wish for
peace; is it unreasonable to suppose that where their interest and
their wish coincide they are willing to assure it,

Health In Golf
No out-of-doors exercise, such as

golf player for the past Is years and
as a physician can testify to it's great
health-building qualities.
What a real surprise you would

to blame at all, but something else

Mr.. Smith was 65 years of age.
The broadcaster at once gave out
this query-"At what age should
golfers quit the game?" John ID. is
almost 80 and still at it. l. might
Just as well be asked at what age
should we begin?
No definite information or statis-
tics are available, on the age of golf
players, in the hundreds of clubs

we have, is that thousands are great

to understand-how it took the human race so long to figure
these things out7'7
There is a definite thought.
In the last 100 years, man has made greater progress than
in all time that went before. This is debatable, but the yes"
side will win every time.
When the novelty wears off, we learn that the new marvels
are simple after all. So simple, we say, Its a wonder no
one thought of it before"
Men Of history, through thousands of generauons-possl
by millions-made very little real progress. Then everything
seemed to come overnight, and is still coming. AS II the
whole past had been preparatory and our century merely IS
reaping the harvest.
To some extent, that's true.
The real answer, though, is this: 1t is only within the last
century that the best brains have devoted themselves to IN,

things.
The best brains used to ego in for" the arts and PROBES

Linder first came to New Britain to install his assessment system. The four men gathered data on buildings and their contents which are recorded in city hall. As the work neared completion the other three were re- leased, but E,liason's services with the city continued The mayor feels that the system is now on working basis and can be carried on without the services of an assistant, it is reported, hence the reported decision to dis pense with the employe.
 The mayor stated today that he is not yet ready to make any announce ment as to how he will avoid an overdraft, although he has on other occasions said that he will release employees if necessary This he is empowered tc do only in the group of employees paid under the salary item of general government" Eli ason's salary comes under this head ing.
