Sounds Like Hope

THE world ought to be stirred by For
L eign Secretary Chamberain's an
nouncement that Great Britain will earn
estly seek to build permanent peace thru
a mutual pact between Germany and her
late allied enemies. for il sounds like dec
laration that the greatest power in Europe
is determined to do something Of, by and
for herself
Chamberlain, evidently. visions q new
Germany. Germany which does not con-
slider pacts to be mere scraps Of paper"
Germany which will live up to her agree
ment as to her present eastern and west
ern boundaries, as fixed after the world
war.
France has to be convinced of her own
security and also that of the Little
Entente nations, in support of which she
has invested many millions of dollars, and
Chamberlain talks like man full of high
est hopes of satisfying France.
America? More and more we are to per-
form as 'the unofficial observer" a part
we've played beyond compare since Lots
wife looked back and became bag of salt
But, after Great Britains mutual pact is
accomplished fact, maybe we can take a
fine part in another disarmament con-
ference

Q.-Do you park your gum ON the hair

Q.-Have you been reared for a career
