A PEACE OF EQUALS

Once the Allies and Germans are met to try
to find some permanent basis for peace In the prin
ciple of this quest Americans keenly concerned
Practically they have lost interest in the matter be-
cause they have much futile peace making
since the 1t is very optimistic American who
will expect anything than talk from the Confer

Yet something may come of it, For Germany, tor
the first time participates equal footing with
the Allies. 1t is apparently sincere effort on both
sides to reach voluntary instead of the dictated
peace that has prevailed far. That shows a big
moral advance.
Europe at last begins to see that only voluntary
peace last-that there be assured peace ex
cept sefrespecting peace OF equals. Germany seems
ready to give honest guarantees of security if her re-
cent enemies will do likewise.
The outcome may be pact cOnsonant with the
purposes of the League of Nations with the admit
tance of Germany into the League equal of the
other big powers. That would pave the way for MAX

FEDERAL DATA SHOWS FARMERS

above their cash income from the
farm, farmers have other income inl
, the form of food products which
they set aside for consumption by
their families, use of houses for
their shelter, and some fuel for use
i'll their homes. These items in the
aggregate represent an appreciable
Z part of the cost of living of farm
famitics on the one hand and of the
returns from the farm business on
the other.
Data collected by the department
OF agriculture from several thou
sand farms show that the value of
the family living at farm prices ap-
proXimates one-third the cost of
living of farm families, aHd two
thirds the cost of food. fuel, and

BEAUTY AND THE BRUTE

TO be beautiful is to be misunderstood. The
American beauties recently raised to the pinnacle of
national fame, from Miss America" down, have a
particularly hard time of it. Armand T. Nichols, who
has been director Of the Atlantic City beauty pageant
for four years and who ought to have more discre-
ton. has been saying brutay that American girls
beautiful but dumb
Most Of the pretty girls | have met" he says,
have heads as empty their faces are beautiful"
TO which the beauties as might be expected have
made prompt reply. First came Miss Fay Lanphier,
as is the right OF one VINO has been crowned Americas
fairest girl saying:
"Mr. Nichols is pleased to be facetious" which is
surely word that dumb gir wouldn't know how
TO use Three or four Of the Atlantic City beauties
arc college graduates. All the rest were more nteli-
gent than their sisters Of yesteryear and far healthier
too
after whom came Miss Edith Higgins alias
Miss Bronx" testifyng:
Girls Of today are not dumb, but clever 1t would
seem concet II declared that was highly ntelli-
gent; but speaking of other girls I've found that the
most beautiful are also the most brilliant mentally"
And that il might be added. is what lot Of men
have founder supposed they found.
But really such discussions are superfluous and
futile. They never convince anybody They never
prove anything. And what il they did,?
Wise men seldom expect to find two such rare ies
as beauty and intelligence in the same package Fool
ish men-that is to say, the majority of men-n the
presence Of beauty forget that there is such thing
as intelligence.
