THANKS FOR SUGGESTION (lll {,

Down East somewhere, someone started a
campaign a few weeks ago that should be well
coined everywhere. 1t was ascampaign to pro-
mote courtesy throughout the country by re-
establishing the custom of saying Thank
YOU or words TO that effect. Already the
campaign has reached the proportions that an
American Thank You League has been formed
with offices in New York City to send out pro-
paganda regarding the movement.
So far as wescan find out, there IS no axe to
grind in this campaign. No one is to gain any
thing by encouraging the use of Thank YOU
upon his part and the part of others through
the development of more general spirit of
civility and courtesy throughout the land.
There are, of course, few back-biters who
insist that they are not going to "meddle in

ROweU Says
By CHESTER H. ROWELL.

A study conference on "the churches
and world peace" will be called in
Washington, the first week in Deem
Der, to consider ways toward a "war-
less world"
1t is a good purpose, and the con-
ference may do some good.
1t may help crystalize the opinion
of some millions of Americans.
But. the. immediate situation is
that the opinion of twenty millions,
or a hundred millions, does not
count, so. long as the power of in
action rests in a small minority of
the present membership of the United
States senate.
Less than a dozen irreconcilable
isolationists, but these few in
trencheds in the packed Foreign Re-
lations COMMITTEES; a few more timid
and vacillating; a few Republicans
too reactionary to follow even Re-
publican leadership forward; few
Democrats too partisan to follow
even their own platform if Repub-
licans approve it too-these few,
skillfully manipulated, have been
able, and may be able again, to pre-
vent the only concrete action now
possible.
They may still keep America, alone
of civilized nations, out of the World
Court, founded on American princi-
pies and established by American
initiative.
Unless America can take this sim
pie and obvious step, it is useless to
plan any other.
The court, to be sure, can not alone
make a 'warless world" But it is
the most elementary step toward it.
Cooperation is the, only way to pre-
vent war. There is no nationalistic
way to do it.
Unless the nations can organize for
peace, there will be no peace.
And so long as the richest and most
powerful nation of all refuses to join
in any international organization, the
rest. can. do no more than half the
task. M

RUBBER FROM SAGE BRUSH.

Prof j. M, Ryan of the University of
Nevada experiment station, asserts that he has
found hitherto ignored source of that very
valuable commodity, rubber The sage brush
of our great western deserts is per cent rub
ber "In the northeast corner of Nevada
Alone" he says, ''thes sage bHdsA'supply now on
the hoof should be valued at $50,000,000.
All of which is most interesting. Sage
brush has been regarded as about the most
useless sort: Of, vegetation in the country. 1t
is estimated that. in the regions where sage
brush is the principle product of the soil it
runs about 10000 pounds to the acre. This
would mean 600 pounds of rubber to the acre.
Thus desert land, irfaits natural state, would
suddenly take on definite value. Cultivated,
if some way is. discovered to cultivate sage
brush and increase the crop, the desert would
become highly profitable agricultural area.
Rubber is needed in ever-increasing quanti-
ties. If the professor is on the right trail
with his sage brush rubber he will start a new
agricultural development on this continent
and be benefactor to the rubber industry and
the vast understanding public

GAYETY PATRONS
HAIL RETURN Of
FAVORITE

In recognition of his return to
burlesque after several seasons
in vaudeville, Gayety patrons last
night gave Billy Arlington, the
tramp comedian, an ovation.
Arlington is the outstanding fea-
ture Of the Golden Crook COM
pany, long a favorite here, and
not any of his .brilliancy has
been lost while he was under
the Keith wing. He has lot OF
good stuff this season and there
was a perfect deluge of laughs
every time he came on stage.
''Girlie" knight, a sprightlys
miss with a fair, voice and lot
of personality, was a prime
favorite with her songs and
dances, and Louise Wright regis
tered strong with several vocal
numbers. Eide Mae sang well,
her burlesque on II Trovatore,
with Arlington, and I'm Manda-
lay" with Walter LaFoye, going
over big. The latter has a fine
voice and was deservedly popular.
Cliff Clifford did a speciality in
blackface that rocked the house,
while Pete Frazier's Golden Crook
jazz trio made banJos and guitars
fairly hum. This was one Of the
best musical turns the Gayety
has had this season.
The producers have outfitted
the show lavishly, some of the
scenes being of rare beauty. par
ticularly that depicting the fro

AUDITOR TO ASK
ADVICE ON PAY
Bowman Plans to Confer
With Governor Wednesday.

Governor Jackson will be sought
Wednesday by State Auditor Lewis
Bowman for advice on the salaries
to be paid State employees at the
end of this month es a result of the
action of the State finance commit
tee and the subsequent ruling of At
torney General Arthur Gilliom that
some pay reductions ordered by the
committee were Illegal. Gilliom said
salaries set by law cannot be
changed.
Bowman said he did not know
whether his department would abide
by Gilliom's ruling, the committee
action or ask the Governor to call a
special committee session.
Alfred Hogston, State fire marshal,
announced he would confer with Gill
liom on the extent the ruling affects
his department.
