The Source of Power.

Kansas City Star: The family had
strayed into one of these elevating
arguments that happen in almost
every family. The Towers started
dinner by talking about their car.
Buddy, who was years old, began it
all by asking what made the car run.
"Why, Bud, the engine does, of
course" big brother explained. "The
engine runs putt-putt-putt' and makes
the wheels of the car turn. See -
Buddy was willing to accept this ex-
PLANTATION, but big sis was inclined
to split hairs on the matter.
Eyes Charley, but what is it makes
the engine 60 'putt-putt-putt?" she
demanded. Buddy, it's gasoline that
really makes the car go, for it is
gasoline that makes the engine run
and the engine makes the car run.
See ?"
But Buddy was not even to be left
with this enlarged and detailed ex-
PLANTATION. Billy, the 12-year-old boy
was determined to get back to first
causes.
isis, that amt so bad, but what
makes the gasoline explode. The old
gasoline wouldn't De worth oiHS
dong if it wasn't for the spark plug
that sets it off. think it's the bat
terry and the gasoline that really run
the car"
"Well, if you're going to be so fin
icky about it," big brother put in show
about the oil? Where would the en-.
CINE be in FIVE minutes if it wasn't
for the oil? Why, ! think"
But mother took hand in the argu.
ment at this point.
"Children, I believe you have al
overlooked the real force behind the
momentum of the cal" she stated. "Al
of these things that you've men,
toned have share in the matter, its
true, but what would any of then
amount to if it wasn't for the driver
who sits at the wheel. After all
| it seems to me that it is really the
driver who makes the car CO."
"Your mamma is mighty close t.
right. dad put in them "She is
"getting hot" as the kids say, wheI
she named the driver. The real pow
er that makes our car run, and keep.
it running is your dads pocketbook!'

The President Is Right.

Philadelphia Public Ledger:P resi.
dent Harding is convinced that nc
man may stay long in the White House
and remain convinced "isolationist.
He has turned to the permanent
court for international justice anc
fights for it in the face of a very
considerable amount of pressure up
on him to desert it. He is equally
convinced that the people of these
United States are not such stiff neck
ed and shuddering ''isolationists .
that they are fearful of the world
court.
He is right. Politicians and vote
chasing witch-doctors may be afraid
of it, but the people are not. He is
thousand times right when he tells
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs that in the matter of this court
the national heart, conscience
and Judgment are alike enlisted,
and against these we need never
fear that any opposition may pre-
vail.
In this the president reads the
signs of the times very clearly. The
irreconcilables and bitter-enders are
missing or misleading these signs.
The world court question is in the
way of becoming moral issue, ar
issue of "heart, conscience and judg,
ant" It's supporters are. not con.
cerned about partisanship.
The people Of the churches of Am.
erica are not afraid of this court
They welcome it and demand that we
enter.
The friends of the League of Ma.
tions are not fearful of it. Neither
are the workers for world peace, the
foes of war nor the believers in calm
and legal adjustment of international
ouarrels. 1t is strange that the presi-
dent should find that on no ques.
ton since he came to the White House
has there been $50 impressive dem
onstration of substantially unified op'
inion."
The president, having set his hands
to the pillow. is not looking back. There
is no need that he should. He has
the nation with him in this, irrencon.

(Juneau Empire ]

Direct action against trap fishing in at least one Southeastern Alaska district is believed to be indicated in a report of alleged malicious de- struction received last night by United States Attorney A. G. Shoup, and MT. Shoup has asked that a Coast Guard vessel with Federal officials be sent to make a thorough investigation of the reported out rages.
 The reported outrages are claimed to have taken place near the Heceta Island cannery of the Swift, Arthur Crosby Company. No specific de- tails were furnished MT. Shoup and no information as to who is respon sible for the alleged damages to the company's traps.
 Craig Millar, superintendent, re- ported the matter in a cablegram to the District Attorney as fol- lows:
 Unknown individuals dur
 ing the last few days and yes-
 terday Uast Wednesday, have
 been infiicting serious damage
 and destroying gear, etc., on

 ity of Heceta Island cannery.
 We must appeal to you for pro-
 tection.'

 ON SUMMER FURS

WASHINGTON - Fashions de- cree that women shall wear furs the year round has aroused great apprehension among naturalists, says bulletin of the National Geo. graphic Society whose officials be- lieve that some of the animals that are abundant today may soon be in the class of the auk and the dodo.
 Tt is only by educating the American public to the need for pe- riods of protection for these ami mals," the bulletin says, that we will be able to preserve one of the country's most valuable assets for the enjoyment and profit of future generations.
 Recently the Society sent an ex- petition to an island off the coast of Lower California to try to find specimens of the great seal colonies which used to inhabit the island, but not single animal was seen.
 It has been estimated thatAmerica spends yearly $100, 0,000,0O0 for fur garments, and the Society declares that the beaver, marten, skunk. muskrat and other animals are not only paying with their lives, but with the threatened extinction of their kind.
