You are such fool Jack. You

lucky number eight. - f'h.V''ao

wouldn't live with you a minute.
Will you tell me just why you want
to break up the friendship between

you say, she was the gayest and
brightest girl in her set. know
that something very terrible must
have happened in the first year of
her marriage, for she has never been
the same since.
l never did like Harry Ellington.
He is the most selfish egotistial, ar.
rogant man l have ever met, and
that's going some.
What little l have seen of Ruth
since her marriage has made me
think she is a brave little thing who
doesn't tell her troubles to ever,
one, but l would like to tell Harry
Ellington one thing. 1 believe

that there are plenty of men who
would be very glad to make love t.

THE POLICY OF "lETTlNG
GEORGE DO u"

The Persian delegate to the as
sembly of the league of nations ex-
pressed the sentiment of all his col
leagues from small nations when he
said the great powers must give an
example of respect for the league by
finding in it their own security and
by submitting all matters to arbi-
tration. That sounds we'll, but why
do not those small countries do
something themselves. The league
covenant says. THE assembly may
deal at its meetings with any mat
ter within the sphere of action of
the league or affecting the peace of
the world" And it further provides
that at meetings Of the assembly
each member of the league shall
have only one vote.
Obviously it is competent for the
league assembly to take cognizance
of any situation affecting world
peace, outvote the big powers about
ten to one, and absolutely dictate
the action to be taken. The fact
that they did not do so in the dis
pute between Italy and Greece
demonstrates that the little members
of the league have no more respect
for their obligat tons than the big
members. Apparently every dele
gate assembled at Geneva believes in
letting George do it.

The Peace Plan Jury
(Publit Ledger

The jury OF seven, one woman,
chosen to award the 100000 prize
offered by Edward w. Box for 4
practicable plan" to prevent war is
bound to meet with universal APP
prevail. Its members possess the two
main requisites for their task. fair
ness and authority, in a noteworthy
degree. All are national figures; all
are of unblemished reputation; all
are authorities on the large and eX-
ceedingIy complex issues involved.
The seven jurors will be confronted
with Il very difficult task. Theirs
will be the responsibility of choosing,
from the many submitted, plan for
interna tional peace which will be not
only workable but acceptable to the
country at large. They must be
shrewd judges of public sentiment as
well as keen analysts of complex
suggested panaccas for the world S
ills.
The Box award will have accom-
plishcd a splendid work for interna-
tional amity if only by making peace
q common issue and a household
topic. In offering this award Mr..
FOX has made use of the art and the
science of modern advertising; he
has put peace into every mans mind
and every mans mouth. Likewise in
his more recent announcement of
eight annual prizes for the best
newspaper and periodical advertising
in this country and Canada he has
done a service, by indirection. TO the
whole advertising business. BY set
ting his standards of award high and
making every advertising campaign
and every single advertisement a po-
tential prize-winner, he has got a
leverage on the advertising business
that should raise it to a higher plane
OF honesty and usefulness.

that instead of the huge barges III

small barges which would be linked
together like freight cars OF tram
The towboats would weigh only one

Propulsion of the boats would be
from paddles fixed on an endless
chain on each side of the boat. EVERY
paddle, which would exert direct
thrust at the water. would develop
more pulling power than the usuai
paddle wheel and with less resist
ance. according to Mr.. Baer.

of barges would be made up in

with no waiting for loading or I'M

err port would be dropped at that port
and the train would proceed. picking
up loaded barges at different points.

through their divisions and delivering

Mr.. Baer pointed out that under
the proposed method Gulf to the

come feasible by using the present
canal from Chicago to the Illinois

added that towboats and barges OF
