SAYS WORLD PEACE RESTS
WITH LEAGUE

The British Prime Minister, Ram
say Macdonald, with characteristic
forcefulness and precision, set forth
before the Assembly of the League OF
Nations last week at Geneva, tho
British Governments attitude on the
barrassing question Of security and
disarmament.
Arbitration was the keynote of his
speech. The problem Of aggression
he declared, could best be handled by
a court, or courts, of arbitration.
His Government had no faith that
military alliances could bring So
curity.
Everything in it's power would be
done by the British Empire to widen
the influence and prestige of the Lea
que Of Nations, but Germany must
become a member of the League.
eff we cannot devise a system Ct
arbitration do not let us. fool our
selves that we are going to have

Mans ACE Of Strength.

At what age Is a mans muscular
strength greatest?
1t might be natural to suppose that
with increasing age the muscles, which
develop with constant use, would be-
come stronger, but such Is not the
case.
1t has been proved by experiment
that the amount a man uses his mus
cles does not influence the increase and
decline Of strength.
These tests showed that where the
average lifting power Of boy Is 2SO
pounds, it should be increased by his
twentieth year to 800 pounds. A max
Imum Of 1876 pounds, or thereabouts,
should be attained by his thirtieth year,
after which a decline In strength sets

Elias Howe, the inventor Of the sew
ing machine, was born In Spencer,
Mass, July 8, 1919, and died in Brook
lyn, N. Y, October 8, 1867. He lived
with his father, who was both farmer

winters. He then learned the trade
of machinist, and experimental in in
venting sewing machine. The model
was completed and the patent issued
September 10, 1916. A patent was
also taken out In England, but from
this the inventor realized nothing.
ASseg constructing four machines in.
the United States he visited England
in 1s47, remaining tw0Nyears. He re-
turned to Boston entirely destitute,
and resumed his trade for the support
Of his family. From this period until
1854 he was involved In expensive
law suits, when the principal infring-
ers of his patents acknowledged his
rights, and arranged to manufacture
sewing machines under licenses from
him. After this he made large for
tune from his invention. He served
as a private in the Seventeenth Con-
necticut volunteers during the Civil
war. He was the recipient of the Le-
gion Of Honor cross and many medals.
