Talk and More Talk
Worlds First Needs

A professor of practical theology
from Chicago University, DIR. Theo-
dore G.. Soares, told an audience OF
women here in our own city that
what the world needs most today Is
talk!
He did not say sensible talk"
bupt Just plain talk" Surely this is
strange advice. Talk has seemed to
be about the most abundant thing in
the world Too much, rather than
too little, Is what most Of us would
have said we have.
Yet there is something in the fdea
Of the visiting professor. For, with
all our talking. we do not under
stand one another any too we'll.
In International matters there is
undoubted value in talk-provided
some one doesn't shut It of too sud-
denly Conferences and more con-
ferences are needed. They offer a
wonderful opportunity to exhaust
steam without doing any very serious
damage.
other clashes besides international
ones can frequently be STAYED off by
means of talk. Quarrels between
labor and capital, for example. Even
personal Quarrels are the less
disastrous when they break out into
speech than when they eat away at
the heart in silence.
Yes, it's a grand idea to talk
things over. Getting it out Of the
system helps immensely. That is
one reason the citisens Of q free
country insist upon freedom of speech.
1t is safety valve that often prevents

The New Postal Rates.

The new postal rates took effect yes
terday, having been established by act
of Congress to provide additional rev.
enues wherewith to pay the postal
workers higher wages. The changes
that chiefly affect the public are the
addition of one-half cent to the rate
for sending circulars or advertising
material in unsealed envelopes, the
addition of a penny for the transport of
all souvenir and private mailing post
cards and an increase of from 10 to is
cents for special delivery of parcels.
The hope and prayer Of the Post Office
Department today are that the mail
ing public knows or will remember
these changes, else there will be much
confusion. and there will also be some
delays in the delivery Of mail in
these classes. It has been stated that
mail matter with deficient postage
under the new rate will be delivered
subject to collection from the re-
ceivers. This will be rather hard
on the recipients of advertising cir
culars, and, to some extent, Of SOU
venir post cards.
1t should be noted for the benefit
of all mail users that the old-style
Government printed post cards are
still penny apiece and will be car
ried without change Of rate, SO that
post card habitues who like to crowd
much literature into small space
for a penny transport will still be
able to communicate with their
friends cheaply.
One phase Of the new rates Is
perhaps not of very general interest,
but nevertheless deserves attention.

mustard gas. This was in 1860. Victor
Meyer, a German. was the first to
make a careful investigation of ths
gas. This was in 1886. The mustard
gas was first used on large scale as
an offensive at Ypres.
Q. In ancient times, who CORE.
sponded to the modern music conduc-
tor. and how did he indicate the timer
d. S. r.
A. The Greeks called the conductor
"Corphoeus," meaning principal" and
the Romans applied the term "Pedar-
ius," or "Pedicularius." These Latin
terms arose from the custom Of en-
ploying the foot to beat time. The
Pedicularius wore sandals Of wood or
metal, in order by their percussion to
render rhythm more marked.
Q. Was the Paris Ferris wheel
brought over to Chicago for the
Worlds FairHJ. s.
A. The Ferris wheel erected at the
worlds Columbian Exposition was
not the same, though similar to the
one in Paris.
Q. What was the total attendance
at the first Moody and Sankey meet
ing in Philadelphia?-F. O.
A 1t was estimated that in nine
weeks about 100000 people offended.
Q. Who wrote the first limerIcks?---
B. T. w.
A. Limericks composed by Edward
Lear occaSiOned the vogue for this
variety Of nonsense; published in 1916,
they were originally composed for the
amusement Of the grandchildren Of the
Earl of Derby.
Q. What is the official name Of
Westminster Abbey?-D. G. 7.
A. The Coronation Church IS Off
cially termed the Collegiate Church OF
Saint Peter.
@. How is the value of place tick
ct on the races determined, since both
the horses running first and second
must be fgured?-J. e. S.
A. In establishing the value OF
winning 81 place ticket, per cent
for the racing association is deducted
from the total Of the place pool. Then
the total OF the place money wa agered
on the horses finishing first and sec
ond Is deducted. Next, the sum re-
naming is divided into two equal
parts, and then one part is divided by
the number of place tickets on the
horse that won and the other part IS
| divided by the number of place tickets
| on the horse finishing second. This
| gives the net value Of the 81 place
ticket on each horse. For example, IL
the place pool is $4,000, after the per
| cent has been deducted, and if $4,000
was bet on the winner and $1,000 on
| the horse that ran second, the net pool
would be $4,000. Divided into two
parts, each would be $2.50O. Divided by
| 1000, the number Of 81 place tickets
on the winner, those tickets would
each be worth $3.50 plus the 81
wagered. or $3.50. Divided by 500,
the number Of 81 place tickets would
be IS, plus the 81 wagered, or 81.
Q. Had some raw peanuts sent me.
How can I cook them?-P. W. p.
A. It is easier to cook them after
they are shelled. They may be roasted
in shallow pan in a moderate oven,
or by cooking in deep fat. In either
case stir peanuts occasionally and
sample until satisfactory. II they are
to be salty, salt while hot.

The French Ministry.

Pending the framing of the final
ministry Of France by PrerulEc Pain
leve, chosen TO head the government
following the defeat Of Herriot. d
TASK Of great difficulty, the fact that
he has selected Joseph CaillauX as
minister OF finance ia a matter worthy
Of special consideration. CaillauX has
just emerged from virtual exile, the
result Of accusations against him dur
ing the war of undue intimacy with
and partsauship for Germany. His
citizenship has been restored to him
and the record cleared. His name is
anathema to many Frenchmen. par
ticularly to Clemenceau. who recently
refused to receive an old-time friend
because he had "soiled his hand by
shaking that Of Caillaux Neverthe-
less, Caillaux is recognized as a
financial genius and his selection at
this critical juncture Of French
finances to head the treasury is hailed
as a stroke of extremely good judg-
ment on the part Of the new pre-
mier
The major, indeed. the menacing
problem in France today is that
of the finances. The government
has been trembling on the brink Of
bankruptcy for some time 1t has
inflated the currency by the issue of
large quantities of francs. even in ex-
cess of the legal limitations. A bill
to legalize these issues was pending
when Herriot was defeated and has
now been put through both chambers
as a measure of the most urgent
necessity.
Caiilaux will have no easy task to
stabilize the French finances. He
may not be able to do 80 at all. But.
regardless Of all other considerations
relating to his political record. he is
admittedly the ablest man in France
for this task. He has prefaced his
taking OF office as minister of finance
by the announcement that he will not
favor the imposition of a capital levy.
This statement has disappointed the
radicals of the Left bloc, but has won

lect their food? In instinct, 1t Is God
that directs; in man, often 1t Is faulty
reason.
How do you imagine a spider ever
learned to make those mathematical
designs with his web? And who guides
the birds when they make their long
migrations?
The Creator does it, Buddy. and we
know 1t. They couldn't do 1t by them
selves. But He did not frame the uni
verse for Just one kind Of being, but
| created q tremendous whole.
Eternal order was mixed up in the
works from the very first. Each sort
OF being not only loves itself, but
loves another, and the two of them
love themselves in their children a
third time. When this cycle OF life
is run the animals forget their par
ents, but among human beings there
Is honor for old age.
Our idea is that the state Of Nature
was a pure reign Of God. Men and
beasts walked together. The Biblical
account of the Garden of Eden up
holds this idea. Men and birds sang
praises to God together, while the
animals looked on quietly.
They didn't have any joy-riding
| then, or petting parties, or psyche
analysts, or bootleggers, or q thou

ages were to see.
No, sir, they learned industry from
the bees, and how to build dams from
the beavers, how to spin from the
spiders and how to plow from the
moles. They watched the animals eat
grass when they were sick, and SO
| learned the art of medicine.
Generally speaking, they had one
grand old time when Love was lib
erty, and Nature was law.
What occasioned the grand break
| up?
Well, it was something like this?
Our old friend Might, as opposed to
Right, got in his dirty work, and
| conquests made inimical laws. Su-
perstition then took a hand in the
game. She built hell on spite and
heaven on pride, and generally messed
UP things.

This is not to say, Of course, that
all works of art should have literary
signiflcance-far from 1t. 1t is suffl-
cient if a work of art interprets
beauty found in that which one sees
in short, possesses inherent beauty.
There is a glory of color, fascina-
ton in line, a JOY in beautiful COM
position, an allurement in the treat
ment of textures and in surface finish
which transcend, oftimes, interest in
subject and must, in certain measure,
be added to such interest to attain the
highest result; in other words, in

mate, otherwise 1t has no excuse for

complainants, and r. D. Geoghegan,
traffic manager for the Publishers As
sociation. Mr.. Mangum declared the
basis OF the entire issue, which in
wolves nearly a score of publishing
companies in its entirety, is based on
what he declared to be the wide diff
ferentials between class and COM
modify rates on news print shipments
He quoted rates from southern points,
which he said were comparable to the
New England w Washington and Mag
ara Fall Washington rate, to show
that rate discrimination was shown
against Washington and Baltimore.
Rate Differentinl Too High.
Mr.. Geoghegan. answering a ques-
ton from Commissioner Hall, said
the rate differential between WASH
ington and Baltimore was too high,
ranging in some cases up to ii cents,
and in others down to cents. Most
of the New England newsprint used
in Washington comes from East Mil
linocket, Me, while the Canadian
newsprint comes from the territory
between Quebec and Montreal.
Examiner Hunters tentative report
recommended that the rates for
transportation of newsprint to Wash
ington be held unreasonable to the
extent that they exceed the rates
applicable to Baltimore from the
same points of origin by more than
/ cent per 100 pounds. This was one
of the main issues the Washing ton
publishers were working for, along
with a general downward revision of
the entire newsprint rate schedule.

An alleged discrimination in freight

attacked before the Interstate Com

the case was made today by Mason
Mangum, attorney for the associated
