"THE NEXT WAR"

~ EAR by year, in every way, war is getting better and bet
ter, the scientists tell US. That is, each shining new year
sees science with some fine new gas capable of wiping out whole
cities. Each new year brings forth some new gun capable of
wrecking the strongest structures man can build. Each new
year finds improvements in airplanes, in mines and submarines,
and in instruments for maintaining b~lockades, so that not only
soldiers, but women and children and cripples find themselves
attacked from above, from below, and from every side.
Comes now another scientist to say that wars year by year
are becoming more merciful. That is, we kill people efficiently,
but science saves them equally efficiently. Masks offset gasses,
caves defy guns, synthetic foods match hunger blockades, etc.
Science of protection is working just as theoretically as the sci
enee of destruction.
Isn't science wonderful Scientists race with each other find
ing ways of destroying life. Others race equally energetcally
with each other finding ways of saving it. The net result is a
total loss.
And aren't human beings marvellous contraptions. Knowing
In advance that the next war viii be a total loss, because science
tells them SO, they race into it. Yes, humans are wonderful

 Vivid splashes of print offer & charming color note in this wide silk scarf.
 A simple frock of striped tub silk takes on more formal appearance when one adds the scarf considered essential for such costumes. On this page is pictured one of light-colored silk, showing a hemstitched border of dark silk.
 The beauty of the tailored suit iS displayed admirably in the coat and skirt, one of the seasons newest mod els. The coat is closed at the waist. line with single button.
 .e Unlike the traditional coat-suit, the skirt of this two-piece affair shows a fine, mannish stripe to match the dark hue of the coat with which it is worn. Flap pockets, revers and cuffs are precisely tailored with silk braid.
 Stripes-and more stripes! If they all measure up to the good looks of the motor coat, illustrated on this page, one would be tempted to accept them forever. Over tailored frock of tub silk, this silk mohair coat is worn with jauntiness which is altogether delightful.
 Note the cross-striping of the col. lar and cuffs, which contrasts so pleasingly with the horizontal stripes of the body of the coat,
 A tailored knitted vest is an excel- lent accessory. A; charming model has tailored pockets. tailored edges and a cut which accentuates the slenderness of youthful figure.

QUENT|NROOSEvE[T
French UnveiI Shaft Near
Site of Famous Navarin
Farmhouse.
By the Associated Press


PARIS, September 29.-"My coun-
trymen will be deeply touched that
one of the soldiers crowning this
monument is an American and that
the sculptor chose as his model a
man who bore a most honored name
Quentin Roosevelt-said Sheldon
Whitehouse, charge d'affaires of the
United States embassy, at the unveilt
ing yesterday of a monument on the
spot where once stood the famous
Navarin farmhouse.
There could be no better proof for
posterity of the strength of Franco
American friendship" Mr.. White
house added, than the inscription on
this monument regarding the Ameri-
can divisions fought with their French
arms, under command of
that gallant soldier, Gen. Gouraud,
for it shows our willingness to die for
the same ideal.
The monument consists of the
figures of three Poilus Is feet high,
one a scout, one a grenade -thrower,
and the other a machine gun man,
the last having the features of Quen-
tin Roosevelt. Each man is depicted
in action.
The monument is a 60-foot pedestal
of rose granite. 1t stands on a hill
lock, dominating the immense battle
-
the Argonne and was erected to COM
memorate the French and American
soldiers who fell around Rheims.
The monument is visible for many
miles, the war devastation having
left not one tree to shut off the view.
More than $4,000 francs were raised
in France and the United States to
erect the monument.
Gen. Gouroud, at the unveiling, in
OF the battles that were fought in
the vicinity of the shaft, in which he
said 104 divisions took part. He went
into details of the fighting that took
place in July 1918, when the last
German rush was crushed. He paid
tribute to the work of the America n
troops under his command and spoke
OF his joy one day at the end of June
in seeing among the reinforCements
sent by Marshal Petain that fine 42d
Division, which was to take so great
a part in the battle by our side
Among the countless flags of the
veterans associations surrounding
the monument were those of the
American Legion and the World War
Veterans. They were brought to the
shaft by American uniformed SOL
diers and delegates of the La F'ayette
Escadrille. The days ceremony be-
gan with religious services at which
the Catholic bishop, Catholic chap
lain, a Protestant pastor and a rabbi
officiated.
Two other memorials were inaugu-
rated today with impressive cere-
monies. one to Scoth soldiers at Beau
Hamel. in the Somme. where Marshal
Foch unveiled a monument and build
ing at Givenchy, given by the city
of Liverpool in memory of many of

New Haven Supervisor Inquiries
 Into Immortality

New Haven, Jan. 31.-Broken homes caused by the death of mother or father was responsible for de- linquency in girls in large percent age of cases, according to a report of an investigation of 200 delinquents who came under observation of the supervisor of the local civic protective association.
 Tn 30 per cent of the cases the mother or father is dead and the step parent is the source of the trouble ' says the report. When the father dies the mother becomes a wage earner and when the mother dies the girl be- comes housekeeper, both conditions furnishing incentive to delinquency, the report says.
 Tn 33 per cent of the cases parents were found to be alcoholic while in 26 per cent parents had records of immortality. The 22 per cent of the girls who had spent the whole or a portion of their lives in institutions failed to deevlop initiative. self reli- ance or resourcefulness," the report says.

The three negroes were apprehended by officers of the eighth police precinct, New York, and are being held pending advices from the Ansonia police.

 Commissioner Stoeckel gave the following interview:
 "As l remember tHe matter, some time after the return of Gov. Tenn pleton from the conference of gov ernors in the west, either he sum- moned me to his office or l called there on business relating to the de- partment. In the course of conyer- sation, the governor stated to me, in effect, that at the conference there were number of governors cars in line and that most or all of them, except the Connecticut car, were marked by No. 1 in the respective state series.
 'I briefly explained to him the Connecticut system of reservations, to the effect that under our system the holder Of No. l in the previous year has a right to reserve it, and that very likely Judge Woodruff, who has had that number for years past, had already reserved it. Whereupon Gov. Templeton said he would not want to take Judge Woodruff's num- Der in any event, and l immediately suggested that I could make spe- cial marker for the governors car. The department Of motor vehicles then caused the marker to be de- signed and made. There were no written specifications, but the marker may be described as being of the Connecticut colors in letters an inch and a half high. The marker plates were delivered to Capt. McCook to- ward the end of the year and Gov wrote me q letter approv- ng them"
