the present day. 1t brings them into
association with each other in a way
where they learn to think not only
of themselves. but of other people
1t teaches them to be unselnsh. IL
trains them to obedience and gives
them self-control. A very wise man
gave us this motto: do the duty that
lies nearest YOU" 1t seems to me
that this is the plan of all your or
CARNATIONS. We need never fear that
we shall not be called on to do great
things in the future. II we do small
things well at present. 1t Is the boys
and girls who work hard at home
that are sure to make the best record
when they go away from home II
Is the boys and girls who stand well
up toward the head of the class at
school that will be called on to hold
the important places in political and
business life when they go out into
the world.
There is time for play as well
as a time for work. But even in play
it is possible to cultivate the art of
well-doing. Games are useful to train
the eye, the hand and the muscles and
bring the body more completely under
the control of the mind. When this
is done, instead of being a waste Of
time play becomes a means of educa-
ton.
1T is in all these ways that boys
and girls are learning to be men and
women, to be respectful to their par
ents, to be patriotic to their country
and to be reVerent to God. 1t is be-
cause of, the great chance that Ameri-
can boys and girls have in all these
directions that to them, more than
to the youth of any other country.

africa Delegate to Confer
With New Administration,
Chile Explains.
By the Associated Press,

SANTIAGO, Chile. December 21.-
Explaining the return from africa of
Augustin Edwards, head of the
Chilean delegation to the plebiscitary
commission, the government yester-
day issued the following communicate:
THE government has called the
Chilean delegate to the pIebiscitary
commission to come to Santiago in
order that he may get into immediate
contact with the new administration
and to determine authoritatively the
line to be followed at africa.
The government had in mind the
necessity of the president-elect, who
assumes his duties three days hence,
having as soon as possible a complete
impression of the plebiscitary situa-
ton and the latest developments
1T is to Chile's interest that the
suspension of activities caused by
the appeal shall take only the time
strictly necessary for the new gov
eminent to grasp the situation and
to determine it's future action"

in an invitation to all disputing states

not to countenance a tribunal on which

Replies to Criticism.
Senator Walsh replied to the criti-
cism of opponents to the effect that
the Root committee. so called,
planned a real court but that Bal
four had transformed 1t into a de-
partment OF justice of the League of
Nations, by which. he said. reference
must be made to the provision under
which the court renders advisory
opinions on the request of either the
council or the assembly.

Senator Walsh defended that

judges to the World Court, which
has been attacked by its opponents
The nominations, he pointed out

years, he stated, the American panel

When the protocol of the World
Court had been signed by a sufficient
number of nations in 1921. the Ameri-
can group were advised or their right
TO make nominations, but though they
were inclined to exercise the right,
they were deferred from so doing
by the then Secretary of State, since
the United States was not a member
of the League and had not subscribed
to the protocol. But later In 1928
the American group did forward a
nomination to fill a vacancy on the
court, and the candidate thus Endorsed
was elected.

TROLLEYMENS WAGE
 SCALE NOT DECIDED
Company Said to Argue Heavy Debts Against
 Pay Increase

New Haven, June 12 R,-No agreement has yet been reached so far as information is obtainable, in the conferences between the Conn. trolleymen's joint executive board and President John K Punderford of the Connecticut Co.,, over a new wage scale.
 The demands of the men have been under discussion for nearly two weeks and today the joint board was Tn session by itself. It Is understood that the board will go back to the local unions and tell them what has been discussed and just what stage the negotiations ahs reached.
 The forecast now Is that the dis agreement will go to an arbitration board which has been the case an previous occas sions when there was a disagreement. The Connecticut Go. will choose an arbitrator, the troll leymen one and the third one will be mutually acceptable.
 It has been the policy of both the company and of the joint board to decline to state what the negotia- tions have been between them but 1t Is understood that while the trolley men are asking for wage increase and adjustments of the status of bus operators and operators on one man cars, the company has been putting forward suggestions of readjust- ments of wages which carry some reductions.
 The company is understood to have claimed 1t is still heavily in debt, that state taxes are owed, that competition from buses and freight trucks is keen and that there are still bridge assessment and other improvement bills to be paid.

 One of the shots, he said, went through the Fisher motorboat and several passed near 1t.
 The three boys on a pleasure ride from the Fisher summer home at the foot of Crosse Isle, said they heard no commands to halt and did not stop until one of the bullets rip ped through the side of their craft.
