These plans come from every group
in American life. Some are obviously
from lifelong students Of history and
international law. Some are from per
sons who have studied little, but who
have themselves seen and felt the
horror of war-or who are even now
living out its tragedy.
But among them all are these dom.
inant currents: that, If war is hon.
estly to be prevented, there must be
a face-about on the part Of the nations
in their attitude toward 1t; that by
some progressive agreement the man
ufacture and purchase of the muni-
tions OF war must be limited or stop
ped; that while no political mechan-
ism alone will insure cooperation
among the nations, there must be
some machinery of cooperation If the
will to cooperate is to be made effec-
tive that mutual counsel among the
nations is the real hope for bringing
about the disavowaI of war by the
open avowal of its real causes and
open discussion of them; and finally
that there must be some means Of
defining, recording, interpreting and
developing the law Of nations.
Statement of Jury of A1Oard
The Jury OF Award realizes that
there is no one approach to world
peace, and that it is necessary to rec
ognize not merely political but also
psychological and economic factors.

The public health nurse of Ramsey
for serving hot lunches in the rural
schools of her county which she calls
"The Pint Jar Method Hot Lunch"
Each child brings from home some
particular kind of food in a tightly
closed Mason pint jar. This boiler is
partly filled with water and placed
on a two-burner oil stove. At the
morning recess the stove is lighted
and by noon the contents of the jars
are hot Then monitors distribute the
jars and the children supplement the
warm dish with the cold food in their
lunch baskets. Each child has his
initials scratched on the cover of his
jar in order to insure identification.
The nurse recommends the following
kinds of foods for the jars: Cocoa
Milk, soups, certain kinds of fruits
and vegetables, macroni, rice, cream
ed eggs, baked beans, and stewed
meat The equipment required con-
sists of a two-burner oil stove, a
clothes boiler, rack, and hot can litter

ERRATIC BURGLAR ALARM
 KEEPS POLICE ON JUMP
Gong at Bcssc-Leland Store Sounds Three Times Between Midnight
 and Morning

The burglar alarm on the Besse- Leland store sounded last night and caused the police to do a lot of run ming around in an effort to determine if attempts were being made to enter the store. The first time that the alarm went off was at 12:10 o'clock this morning and Sergt. McAvay and several policcment who were on duty nearby rushed to the premises and after careful inspection of the doors and windows, were unable to find where any attempt at burglary had been made.
 Arrangements were made to have the alarm shut off, but at 1:4O o'clock it rang again and Patrolman George Collins investigated, but could find no evidence of an attempted break. w. w. Leland was notified and the alarm was shut off again, only to start again this morning at 6:50 o'clock as Pa trolman Fred Wagner was passing the store. He also made an investigation but found that all was well.
 The police were unable to under stand the reason for the alarm being set off in view of the fact that Mr. Leland made the statement at commissioners Monday night that he could offer absolute proof that it was impossible for the alarm to ring if one of the doors or windows of the store were not opened.

 The report of the fire prevention bureau was submitted by Second As- sstant Chief Michael T. Souney. He said that a new system has been put into practice, whereby weekly in- spections can be made in the mercan- tile districts. This has given good re- suits.

 During Fire Prevention week. October 8 10 Is, members of the de- partment gave talks to 1895 children in the New Britain schools on the matter of fire prevention. The dis pOsal of waste paper and other ma terials in the mercantile district is the greatest difficulty the bureau has to confront, said the chief in the report. He recommended that the matter be cared for by municipal col- lection of the materials.
 The report of Edward G. Burke, master mechanic. showed that 125 of apparatus had been made during the year.
