DISCUSSION POSTPONED
Greco Italian MIDDLE Again Put Over
For Discussion at Some Future
Meeting of League.

BY The Associated Press.
Geneva, Sept. 17.-Discussion in the
council of the league of nations of the
question of the leagues competency in
the dispute between Italy and Greece
was postponed until tomorrow after
speeches today by Signor Salandra and
NJ. Politis, the representatives re-
spectively of Italy and Greece.
When the meeting opened Hjalmar
Granting of Sweden, declared the Ital-
ian occupation of Corfu was contrary
to the provisions of the league coven-
ant and might establish dangerous
precedent, affecting the prestige of the
league
Lord Robert Cecil said the council
had done everything it should have
done in the Grcco-Italian controversy
and had seized upon every means to
obtain settlement which he added,
was the great object set forth in the
covenant. The council very properly
had not rushed the matter, but had
collaborated with the conference of
ambassa d ors in Paris.
Lord Robert admitted that the
question of the leagues competency
which had been raised by Italy was
grave and could not be left unsettled.
He appealed to the league and to
Italy to reach solution which would
not infringe the national pride OF
Italy and at the same time would
leave unimpaired the authority of the
league upon which to great extent
he believed the future hopes of the
world were conferred.

long hair of prehistoric woman was
by the men OF thai time,
probably, as being something they
could grab easily, swinging the wom-

gracefully about the cave with small
chance of losing hold. Moreover the
English hospitals may consider dig

their nurses preferable to comfort and
cleanliness and time. But In this
matter. as in others, strict rules as
to the manner of wearing the hair
by women should not be approved,

THE LEAGUE "TEsT."

The law admits in evidence events
that happened at the time of the
event which is the subject of the law
suit. They are part OF the res
gestae," as the technical phrase has
! it. So in matters not legal. it is well
| to emphasize the situation as it was
at the time a certain event occurred
which may be discussed in the future.
The point of view at the time, the
actual facts are to be emphasized in
order that they may be easily recalled
when that event is discussed as in
| fluencing future action.
Everyone who reads the newspapers
is familiar with the criticisms of the
League of Nations for not jumping
in Immediately and taking pro-
nounced hand that might be seen by
all in the dispute between Italy and
Greece. This, because most organs
of publicity have either criticized the
League adversely, for purpose, per-
haps, or have maintained silence
that suggested hestancy.
In an editorial published September
5 this newspaper emphasized the
effect League Influence. would have
to prevent, war between those two
countries; in latter editorial Sep
TENDER 10, "Mussolfni Backs Down"
it was here stated that the influence
of the League of Nations has tended
to further the amicable arrangement
between Greece and Italy" Mussolini
backed down" because of the exist
ence of the League of Nations,
crystallizing, as it does, the public
sentiment of the majority of the
people of the world against war.
AS a lawyer cites authority to
strengthen his point, portion of an
editorial appearing in the New York
Times of yesterday is here quoted,
III 1Ncly utldil WIN lhC
opinions here expressed in the edit
orials above referred to. Under the |
heading, Europe Finding Herself"
the Times says, in part;
What were the causes of this
welcome renaissance? One of
them was doubtless the fear of
war. Burnt Europe breads the fire.
Not soon nor readily will she con-
sent to see her fields cut off in the
fun promise of their youth. But
this feeling, deepseated as it
seems to be, could not of itself
work efficiently to prevent the
evils of which it was apprehen-
sive. Some organ of expression
some means of registering the
overwhelming opinion of Europ-
can peoples. had to be discovered.
Everyone knows now where is
was found. Greece came forward
as suppliant before the League
Of Nations. That body could not
refuse to listen to her cause.
And, although the League did
not, IN actual TACT, intervene to
settle in its own name the dispute
between Italy and Greece, it un-
doubleday did set in motion
those sentiments Of indignation
and Of just demand which f.
nally brought about the decision
of the Italian Government to bow
before what was evidently the
will of Europe.
Thus it was that the League of
Nations, in the words of Lord
Robert Cecil. proved that it was
an instrument of Cancellation.

no force to hurl against force.
But it could raise with strong
emotion an appeal to the consid-

rcsistible. I

Why High School Students Must Buy

Why High School Students Must Buy
Their Books,
After coughing up" nearly $40 fol-
books for my young Miss who is at.
tending High School I became curious
to know why, when ! recall that both
New York and Massachusetts furnish,
free out of the public educational APP
preparation all books for High School
students, in fact | never paid for any
attended.
To smooth down my ruffled emo
tons a kind state educational official
sent me the following remedy to be
taken at one dose like soothing
syrup:
my Dear Sir:
Section S57 of the General Statutes
provides that when the electors of any
town or district decide by referendum
vote that free text books shall be fur
said text books and supplies shall be
provided by the town school COM
mittee to the pupils in the public
schools free of charge.
up to year ago there were
eighteen towns in the state which did
not provide free text books and sup
plies and these towns happened to be
the only towns in New England
Most Eastern states do provide by
state law that books and supplies
shall be free.
"A bill to make state wide free text
books and supplies was defeated in
the Connecticut Legislature of 1921.
Our records show that free text
books and supplies are not furnished
to the High School pupils of New
Britain,
Very truly yours"
A friendly letter received recently
from New York includes the follow
ing:
Dear Hazel:
"F In our High School they
give us all the books which we need
such as English, History, Book-keep-
ing, Geometry, Algebra, and the
other studies which we have. We have
to buy books containing poems and
helps for English study, otherwise
school books are given us. / think
that it is very unfair that you have to
buy your school books and pay taxes
too
Your friend,

* A PRINCE THERE WAS"
COMING TO KENWORTHY

Thomas Meighan, Paramount star,
is supported by Mildred Harris, for
mer Lois Weber star, in his new star
ring vehicle, A Prince There Was"
which comes to the Kenworthy theatre
Friday and Saturday.
Mr.. Meighan puts over some strong
emotional acting in this screen adap-
tation of the famous George M. Cohan
stage success, and Mildred Harris is
a most capable leading woman. Mr..
Meighan plays rich young idler and
Miss Harris young writer, who for
merly lived in luxury, but with her
fathers ruin and suicide is forced to
write for meagre living, with poor
success. Little Charlotte Jackson, in
the role of the little boarding house
drudge, goes to the rich man and
asks him to " intercede for the girl,
which the rich man does, pretending
he is an assistant magazine editor
and taking up quarters at the board
ing house, where he soon falls in love
with the girl.
But broker, also in love with the
girl. makes it appear that the prince
was the man who caused her fathers
financial ruin and also exposes the
fact that he had to buy the magazine
to get her stories printed. This causes
an estrangement, which, however, is
speedily patched up by the turn of
circumstances and everybody is happy
at the finish.

GIBSON STARS IN NEW
TYPE FILM DRAMA

Edward (Hoot) Gibson, one OF the
most popular players on the screen
today comes to the Idaho theatre,
Friday and Saturday, in a film drama
that shows his versatility. While it
is a western picture the cowboy :"
hero does the most of his riding in
a rafting flivver.
Kindled Courage " stands forth as
one of Gibsons best efforts and Is
certain to win him many new friends.
There is plenty of action in it to
satisfy even the most hardened fan,
and throughout runs refreshing vein
of comedy
The story is laid in the real west,
not the west of colorful fiction. Leet
Renick Brown wrote the plot for
Gibson's use and William Worthing
ton directed the filming from = con-
tinuity prepared by Raymond l..
Schrock, scenario editor at Universal
City.
Gibson in this story impersonates
Young fellow of rather cowardly ten
dencies who is rather ashamed Of
himself, but doesn't know just what
to do about it. He can't figure out
the situation until fate sticks de-
putty sheriff's badge on his lapel and
sends him out after one of the meanest
bandits that ever pulled a trigger.
