SYOSSETT, N. Y, Sept. 3-David
Windsor, otherwise HI. r. H. the
Prince of Wales, arose late again
today after crowded day and
night. He did not leave the prince
~ bed chamber of the Burden home
until shortly before noon. Later
Captain A. F. Lascelles, the princes
equerry, said Wales had no definite
plans for the next two days and
may rest up.
AS was the case the day before.
the prince returned home between
and o'clock this morning after
spending the night dancing at the
homes Of Henry r. Winthrop, in
Woodbury., Long Island, and Mrs.
Vincent Aston, not far from here.
Had great time" he admitted
in the native American tongue,
while bidding his hosts good night
or good morning as he laughingly
corrected himself.
To Dine at Yacht Club
The prince, 1t was stated, has
made no engagement for today
except the dinner in his honor at
the Piping Rock Yacht Club this
evening. Members OF the British
and American polo teams which
clash in international combat Sat.
urday also will be guests Of honor
at the dinner.
Wales had novel experience

traffic in arms and munitions may
be taken up by the world powers
in a single conference, although the
United States regards the two prob
lens as distinct and separate, 1t
developed here today.
Conferences for the consideration
of both questions are being planned,
the arms limitation conference to
be called by the United States and
the arms restriction conference by
the League of Nations with the CO.
operation of the United States.
1t was pointed out in diplomatic
circles today that the two problems
might very well be taken up in
the same conference, as the same
group of experts would be required
by the powers to pass upon both
questions.
Need Separate Treaties.
The simultaneous consideration Of
the two problems was not deemed
practical, however, in view Of the
fact that separate treaties or con-
ventions would have to be drafted
in each case.
The idea Of those who brought
forward the suggestion was that the
armament conference to be called
by the United States could have
place on its program for the con-
sideration of the arms traffic, and
that the study of this question
made by the League Of Nations
could be used as a basis for a
restrictive agreement.
The attitude of President Coolidge
and Secretary of State Hughes to-
ward such a proposal was uhcer-
tain today, as it is their desire in
diplomatic contacts with the League
of Nations to preserve at all times
the assurance of independent action
by the United States, while cooper
ating with the nations which are
members of the league in their eff
forts toward world peace by the
limitation of armament and other
means.
States to Act Alone.
In pursuance of this policy, the
State Department has declined to
participate further in the Leagues
discussions of the arms control
problem, but has expressed a will.
on this subject, the conference to
on thlS SUBJECT, the conference 10
be composed of sovereign states
acting Independently of the
League.
The nations taking part In the
arms limitation conference would
have the same independent status
so far as the United States is con-
cerned, so that the League of
Nations would have no authority
over any treaties or agreement
which might be concluded.

Plays More Polo.
He played polo yesterday. He
may do the same today, Captain
Lascelles said, on the field of the
Piping Rock Club or that of the
Creek Club. His group Of polo
ponies from England has been re-
duced, three Of the thoroughbreds
have gone lame.
Saturday night the prince will be
guest of honor at a dinner and
reception in the home of Clarence
Mackay. Sunday he will be enter

A public official in a modern Con-
gressional investigation is covered
with political slime, forced to resign,
the charges against him dropped,
and the mud guns turned on to an
other victim. Proving charges
seems a secondary consideration.
This syst m does not seem honor
able, just or fair. If continued, it
will be impossible to get any man
who cares for his family or his name
to serve his country in public office
for regardless of guilt or innocence,
political enemies can blacken him in
such ways that it is practically i'm
possible for him to defend himself.
Craftsmanship seems to be a thing
Of the past except in rare instances,
and dirty commercialized politics for
the benefit Of cliques, groups and
blocs has taken its place.-Ex.

The ENDEMIC OF Slang.

The "orgy of slang which seems
to be a characteristic of the neurotic
life of a certain class of young
Americans is deplored by a popular
writer, who seems to think this is a
disease, when it is only a symptom.
After pointing out that many of the
expressions in vogue had their origin
in the cutters of experience, he ex-
presses the view that if these smart
young people could realize how low
is the society they mimic they would
blush in shame.
This is taking the matter entirely
too seriously. That vagabonds and
rogues use phrases current in the
transient vocabulary Of slang CON
Germs the average youth not at all.
Boys and girls of today are very
much self-encompassed, self contain
ed and self-sufficient
There should be no alarm. Slang
there viii always be of course, and
not all Of it win be Objectionable or
useless. The present tendency to
indulge in a orgy Of unlovely speech
viii pass sooner or later, as all ex-
tremism does. The more extreme
the fad, whether in clothes or speech,
the shorter its life.

Two Candidates For Sheriff.

The News this week carries the
announcements of two candidates for
the Republican nomiation for sheriff,
the first to start the ball rolling in
tho September primary election race.
Robt. Erspamer and Richard Kali
omaa are the ones who have thrown
their hats in the ring.
They need no introduction to the
people of the county, both having
been candidates for the nomination
for sheriff at the last primary cleo
ton. Mr.. Erspamer received the
nomination but was defeated at the
general election by Joseph Volant.
Mr.. Kalliomaa lost by but a small
margin. He is the present under
sheriff and also served a term as I'M
dersheriff previous to the present one,
thus having had opportunity to be-
come thoroughly acquainted with the
duties Of the Office.

A Service Oreanization.

The American Legion Is a service
organization, as has been demon
strated time without number. It
has worked valiantly for the disable
veteran and now it proposes to
shoulder the responsibility for the
administration of the new bonus law,
so that every ex-service man may
take advantage Of the government
adjusted compensation.
The Legion viii make it possible
for every former soldier to make
formal application for benefits under
the law without a cent Of expense to
himself. 1t will eliminate the posi-
bility Of any unfair advantage being
taken Of the e. service man for
financial gain.
The American Legion deserves the
united support of all good Americans
in its efforts to see that the men who
fought get fair treatment.
The Legion has succeeded in un-
tieing some of the red tape that has
surrounded the work among the dis
abled soldiers, and with the proper
backing, it will undoubtedly perform
equally as great a service in helping
to put into effect the provisions of
the adjusted compensation measure.

Making Use OF Schools

There was a time when the little
one-room school houses for four or
five months during the year were a
rendezvous for rats and mice. But
those days have gone forever.
The small buildings are disappear
ing and in their places have been
erected consolidated schloos costing
from $4,000 to $4,000. They
represent a large investment of
taxpayers money which should not
be allowed to lie idle all summer and
earn nothing They can be made to
pay large dividends in community
enjoyment,
1t may have been all right to let
the birds and beasts and reptiles take
possession Of the one-room buildings
because there was not much money
invested in them, farmers were busy
and they could be placed in condition
for school cheaper than a caretaker
could be employed But with the ex-
pensive consolidated schools, it is
different.
This kind of reasoning does not
apply to the modern rural school
plant, in the light of new day and a
better understanding of how to make
use of school houses as community
centers.
For an expensive school building
to be unused from April or May until
September is sheer waste There
may be a time when rural schools
win be run on an all-year basis, with
vacations being arranged at periods
when children can help with the
crops, but for the present, the con-
solidated school should justify its
existence during the summer months,
in better vacation for the children
and a richer community life for the
adults
There are countless uses to which
the school building may be put dur
ing vacation-us which each school
community can work out according
to its own needs,
Parent-teacher's associations have
habit Of disseminating their meet
ing during the summer, but even
they can make use Of the building,
as can all other organizations.
Closing the school year does not
mean that all Of the life that centers
in and around the school building
should cease. FIX.
