do moi become frightened and are better

the case An experienced driver of horses
describes the proper method of approach
ing railroad crossing asfollows: Gather
up the reins tight, take out the whip, and
bring the horses to walk" An expert
enced automobilist advises: always go
into second speed"
The method is precisely the same in
either case. The driver has absolute con-
troll, can stop or go ahead as conditions
demand, and is alert to the situation.
If all drivers would but adopt this sim

problem would be solved. What a saving

NORTHWEST MOOSE LODGES
PLAN MEMORIAL CAMPAIGN

The ninety Moose lodges in the Pa
cific Northwest States have embarked
on plan to raise 100000 to provide
a special Northwest Memorial Build
| ing at the famous Mooseheart Home.
The Northwest Moose Convention at
Portland last June endorsed the idea,
and plans are being made to conduct
an intensive campaign with the pur-
pose of putting the plan into effect.
The action of the Pacific Northwest
Moose is in line with that of other
districts throughout the United
States, each Of which has pledged it.
self to erect building or group of
buildings at Mooseheart. Ohio and
Pennsylvania Districts have just com
Pleted their erection of buildings.

campaign. 1--WE are very much pleas
ed said Mr.. Sartori, with the fine
offers of cooperation we are getting
from the various lodges in our dis
trict and we do not anticipate any diff
tlculty in raising the full amount as
soon as our members get thoroughly

We have $4,000 members in the Pa.

Another Award in World
Peace Prize Competition

Nothing has been heard of the Box
peace plan since the discussion that
followed announcement of the award,
except that it has been briefly stated
the $4,000 which depended on its &C
ceptance by the United States senate
had lapsed because of inaction and
the hopelessness Of securing favor
able verdict. But the proposing Of
plans goes on apace. Geneva seems
filled with Americans there to give
testimony to their country's interest
in the Leagne of Nations purposes
and otherwise to identify themselves
with its mechanism. Meantime, Ed
ward A. Filene of Boston, long prom
inont in civic and welfare activities,
has also been proposing to promote
world peace, and to that end institut-
ed competitions in Great Britain,
France, Germany and Italy for the
most hopeful proposition, with s1O,-
900 allocated to each country as
awards. He is now sending out the
results of the British competition.
AS with the Box plan, the British
award centers in the League of Ma
tions, but with very important and
encouraging differences. The es-
sence of the plan follows: The
league would be strengthened by the
presence of the European prime min
listers at the next meeting of the as
sembly, by the admission of Germany
to the assembly and council, and by
the cooperation--no matter how lin
tied and conditional of the United
States and Russia. Its work would be
made more effective by the organiza-
ton of regional groups inside the
league, for example, European
group or a South American group,
for dealing with purely local prob
lens. 1t is difficult for Persia and
Paraguay to be interested In Danzig
or the Albania frontiers. Regional
groups within the league could cope
with the questions especially affect
ing their continent, while the larger
body would deal with matters of con,
Germ to the whole world.
This suggestion would remove one
of the main reasons why the United
States has no place in the institution
by combining to related groups matters
affecting only those groups. America
would not then be called upon to give
decisions for and against various
countries with all of which it was in
amity concerning contentious into
whose deeper significance 1t had no
knowledge, and which 1t could not
counter-balance as is done in rela.
tionships which have the means of
concession and Cancellation. At pres.
ent, of course, it is not practical to
attempt to reconstitute the league on
more acceptable lines than those EN-.
bodied in the treaty of Versailles, but
events are working fast toward an eff
fective revision of that instrument,
and when that day comes an interna-
tional organization might be formed
having the purposes Of peace, instead
of penalties, as its foundation stone
