 The senator said the court through judicious decisions be comes q powerful factor for world peace," and predicted that when the resolution for adherence comes be- fore the senate at the next session 1t will be discussed and fought out intelligently. Because there appears to be mo immediate need on the part of tho United States for such court is no reason for remaining out of it, he said,
 We can wait until some emergen- cy arises; until war threatens, and without in advance giving the court our moral support, confess to man kind our perfidity by invoking the services of the court 10 settle our disputes. One should be ashamed, however, of his country, rather than proud of it, if this should become an established policy" he asserted.

SAYS MAN IS WHAT
 HE THINKS,HE IS
lmpOsslbihies Are Hali Heart
 ed Efforts Of Quitters

"A man is what he thinks he is,'' was the gist of an address delivered at tho session of the Kiwanis club at the Burritt hotel today by James A. Griffen of the educational depart ment of tho Phoenix Mutual Life ln- surance Co. of Hartford.
 Responsibilities are the half hearted efforts of quitters," he said He explained that all forms yt hu- man achievements are brought about by some type of bodily activ- fly which Is directed by the mind. "rhe mind is An instrument you've got to use to bring about results"
 He stated that every thought that follows through a mans mind has some form of bodily activity con nected with 1t. He said there were three divisions Of tho mind, con- scious, subconsciousness and super conscious. "No more than one-tenth or what we do Is directed by the conscious mind. Nine-tenths of atI we do Is directed and controlled by tHe supconsclouS mlnd," Ft q
 He said the subconscious mind has no convictions, opinions or morals oi It's own, but is tho power house where all energy is directed, the conscious mind being the watchman which controls the actions and ac- tiyities. .I, (.
 "The subconscious mind is tho scat of habit. If we had 10 think consciously of every move we make itlwould take a man all day to dress when he gets up and when he had the job finished he would be phy- sically exhausted"
 The speaker told his hearers if they did not think they were crca- lures of habit to try changing their seats at the dinner table at home and see what discomfort they would encounter. ,. 3"Failure is nothing more or less than a hshitual chronic evasion of doing the things we could or should do to be successful. The mind re- tains everything that enters it. Poor memory simply means that recollec- tion, the cffice boy, is not handling the files correctly"
 Next Wednesday the champion ship High school football team will be awarded gold footballs by the club and the players will be guests at the luncheon, It will be a busi- ness meeting. .s, .. r.r. ''~.- ..
 Manager Weakly of the Burritt hotel was introduced to the club members. Mir. Weakly recommend - ed that series of 10 weekly dances be held by the club.
