Rochester, November 24.-Rev.
Arthur H. Wurtele, rector Of Cal
vary Episcopal church for the past

WINNING THE PEACE

The League of Nations is fact, not a theory. 80 SAID former
ATTORNEY General Wickersham in addressing the Federal Council
Of Churches at Chautauqua, N. Y. Mr.. Wickersham, who was one
of the thirtv-one Republicans who in 1920 advocated the election of
President Harding as a step towards joining the League of Ma
lions. sounded a call for leadership ITO direct this nation to its
proper place in the councils of the world, adding also that "our
material interests require a different course, and our moral respon-
slbiIty demands that we face our duties and our great responsible
ties.''
While the former Roosevelt Attorney General was declaring
hat the World War was a direct challenge to civilization which
This nation took up arms to meet and that I'VE cannot let the stu
alton drift toward new wars or let civilization bankrupt itself in
war provoeatives, another appeal was being made for the United
States to end her policy of isolation and to intervene in the Eu-
ropean situation. The Earl of Brkenhead, addressing the lnsti-
tute of Politics at Wiliamstown, Mass urged this action in behalf
Of the civilization of the world.
Speaking on ssProblems Left by the Great War; Lord Birk-
enbead declared that he hoped and believed that some day the ma
tions that had saved civilization when they won the war would real
ize that the interests of the whole world and of each individual
pation-not only the interests of Europe-would compel them to
Get together in the much greater task of winning the peace"
The utterances of both Mr.. Wickersham and Lord Birkenhead
made at practically the same time and both emphasizing the same
fundamental facts of the world situation, contained nothing of an
idealishc nature. The former United States attorney general SIM
ply sounded a call for leadership to bring American to its proper
place in the family of nations, adding that "our thoughts natural
be the man. y The former Lord Chancellor of England declared that
sclfinterest alone should determine this nations course. The call,
in other words, sounded by both these statesmen is for America to
Join with the rest of the world powers in winning the peace won
at such a high cost during the war.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-08-25

Around the booking offices where they hire actors Tor
vaudeville, there's a saying: "When they can sing they want
to dance, and when they can dance they want to sing.
Quite a bit of psychology there, in a few words.
Nc matter how successful or happy we may be, we always
cherish a notion that we would be more successful and hap
pier doing something else. For instance, there's an old saying
that every reader thinks he could get out a better newspaper
than the editor. The editor at times is willing to concede that
maybe theyr right.
In the accompanying ~pen-picture our old friend, Artist
Satterfeld, shows the kind of life he'd prefer to any other.
"Sat' loves the outdoors and in this pen-picture he shows
the sort of existence he'd consider real success to attain.
The interesting feature of this is that Satterfeld is an accom-
plished and successful artist, with a national reputation in the
newspaper profession, and with an enviable standing in pri-
vate life by reason of his water-color and oil paintings.
When they can paint and draw great pictures, they want
to fish. And when they can fish, they want to paint and
draw. Nearly every Indian, expert at fishing, wants to be
an artist. And is, in his crude, half-barbaric way.
Yes, no matter how successful and happy we are, we
always imagine that we could be more successful and happier
at something else. All of which may be "kidding ourselves. "
But it expresses the spirit of discomfort, restlessness, that
makes civilization progress steadily.
Dissatisfaction with present condition is what makes hui
manity create a better condition for the future. The dissat-
isfaction often takes queer forms, but this doesn't change
the great principle.

FREE PUBLICITY

The Evening News like other daily newspapers the world
over, is repeatedly the victim of artful attacks in an effort to Sc
cure valuable space for the introduction of various schemes for
private gain or the moulding of public opinion toward putting
over some sinister plot.
Some bureau or syndicate or manufacturer or politician will
hit upon a happy idea, and some clever fellow will tell him just
how he can work the newspapers for all the 'stuff' needed;
whereupon the expert is engaged or the advice is taken without
the aid of the expert. He makes good at getting the stuff out
but publishers are too keen to allow the grating game to go
too far.
Invariably, when the scheme is found out in time, and the
matter is refused, a threat is hurled at the publishers that the
story will be given to another paper.
The plot works, occasionally, but not always.
In the long run, the schemer usually loses out because never
again can the paper be approached in the same way by the same
schemer.
The fact must be considered, also, that unless citizens can be
depended upon at all time to furnish their local journal with live
stories they cannot expect to get away with spasmodic attempts
10 put over propaganda. The editor is a hard man to fool.

LONDON-Before 1 came to Lon
don, an American friend said to me:
"You will owe London because
you do and dress just as yo' please.
You could walk down the Strand
in your pajamas and nobody would
turn around even to look at you."
Which almost makes me believe
he never saw London. Every great
metropolitan crowd is on the hunt
for the spectacle that life in a big
city presents, but your Londoner
has this taste to the nth degree. In
fact, he will look at thingss$hat the
average New Yorker, Clevelander,
San Franciscan would pause
an instant to glance at. Walk down
the Strand and what do you see?
Here is a gang of workmen using
an electric drill to dig UP an old con-
crete foundation of the street. A
crowd gathers around. A little
farther down a shoemaker has his
admiring audience of some dozen
people.
Here is an American tourist brave
enough on this hot summer day to
dress as he would at homer a
bright clean Palm Beach suit. And
he has a comets tail of half-baked
youths, forgetting all about their
bundles and following him just to
stare and stare.
Lord Balfour has just celebrated
his seventy-lfth birthday. And he
is still a bachelor! Apropos of which
they tell an amusing yarn.
One day he was discussing with

fore he was called upon to speak,
many of the members paid tribute
to his worth and abilities. To which
he cited this story:

listened in great perplexity to the

band. At last, unable to bear it any
longer, She turned to her daughter

NEW A F RECoRD

According to statistics gathered by the bureau of railway
economics Of Washington, railroads of the United States established
a new business record for the six months ending June 81, 1928
The gain over the first six months of 1922, a former record, is said
to be about seven per cent.
1t is a matter of interest to note that the bureau finds that
the movement of freight cars during June was 1873 miles per day.
Ii is found that an increase of one mile a day in the movement of
freight trains is equivalent to an addition of 100000 freight cars
0 the total transportation facilities.
Few persons unacquainted with the methods of preparing sta
sites followed by the railroad companies may be able to analyze
lie figures, but it is enough for the average person to know that
The business of the transportation companies is increasing at a
most gratifying rate. This may be accepted as a reliable index of
Industrial conditions.
Officials of a number of railroads in the east and middle west
re advising that consumers of coal for domestic use purchase the
winter supply before the fall demand is ON. They realize that
transportation facilities are certain to be taxed with grain handling

@. Do many actors and actresses
of the stage succeed on the screen?
M. l.. j..
A. Few screen successes come
from the stage and vice versa. Clay
ton Hamilton says that film and
stage technique are separate and dis
tinct. The tempo of acting for the
camera is much slower and more de-
liberate than acting for an actual
audience; every movement, gesture
and detail of facial expr0 ssion must
be ~proportioned more delicately and
reticently. The cold, searching eye
of the camera magnifies what 1t sees
and a human face In a Closeup"
may measure fifteen feet from top to
bottom. The casual batting of an
eyelid may sweep through two or
three feet of film. Pictures also place
a high valuation on youth. Few
women learn to act on the stage un-
til they are ove thirty, but on the
screen where every line is greatly
magniied, most women look old af-
ter they are twenty-five. Devotees
of the spoken drama will go to hear
a Sarah Bernhard at eight+and-
seventy, but the clientele of the
movies demands fresh faces.

THE REFEREE
10y Albert Applet

Dollar
The dollar is worth only 65 cents
now, on the 1913 basis, says Pro-
fessor Irving Fisher. He means
that 81 now will, on the average,
buy only as much as 65 cents bought
in 1913. He has wholesale markets
in mind. But the situation is almost
to retail prices-cost of living.
This is a sad blow to the man
who saved dollars in 1913 and now
finds them worth only 65 cents
apiece. But there's no use getting
discouraged. For the rule is begin
ming to work in the opposite direc-
ton the Go cents saved today will
be worth 81 later, in buying power.
You'll realize this, in full, about
1850. Far off? It'll be here before
you realize-and it'll come when
most of us will need the money more
than at any time in life.
