WORLD ECONOMIC
PARLEY TO Be HELD
League Assembly Adopts
French Proposal for
Conference.
By the Associated Press.

GENEVA, September "a. - The
League of Nations assembly today
adopted amid enthusia SIN the French
proposal for a world-wid economic
conference under the auspices of the
league.
NJ. Loucheur, a former French min
lister Of commerce and sponsor of the
project warned the assembly that the
task would be difficult and said the
truth must not be concealed from the
worlds peoples that 1T is impossible
for us to consider the problem without
the aid of the labor organizations"
He wanted the aid of all nations in
seeking solution which he cautioned
might not be achieved for several
years. One of the most heartily ap.
plauded points he made was that
tariff policies must be examined aside
from fiscal considerations"
Deplore Costa Rica's Action.
Representatives Of Italy. Holland
Belgium and Spain spoke in support
of the resolution.
The assembly also adopted China s
resolution asking that due regard for
geograp phical and other considerations
be observed in filing the non.perma-
nent seats in the league council with
a view to China's representation there.
Another resolution adopted deplored
Costa Rica's withdrawal from the
League of Nations and urged recon.
sideration of her action.
The council prior to its meeting
this afternoon issued an explanation
of its action in referring the Anglo
Turkish dispute over the Mosui dis
trict of MeSopotamia to the Perma.
nent Court Of International Justice.
Mosul Action Explained.
NJ. Loucheur of France, who pre-
sided over Saturdays session at
| which this action was taken, en-
phasized that reference of the mat
ter to the court was due solely to the
fact that when the British and the
Turks went before the councils Mosul
committee it was revealed that many
question of purely juridical character
| must be solved.
Therefore, in order to avoid an at
! tack on the councils decision later
before the court. the committee de-
| cided the juridical aspect should be
cleared up beforehand.
| The council, M. Loucheur added
was firmly determined to reach a so.
] luton as soon as possible. In SUP.
| port of this he pointed to the cali
for the Mosul committee to resume
its Inquiries at Paris within the next
| month.

All interested parties are in vited to attend and will be given an opportunity to be heard.
 The investigation will cover all con- ditions affecting the halibut industry having any relation to the cost of pro duction of the fish, fresh, frozen or packed in ice The Commission will use the evidence secured and facts produced in determining what tariff, if any to impose on halibut originat- ing in foreign countries and shipped into the United States.

SUCCESS FOLLOWS WORK

world, who appear to be having an
unusually easy snap in life. They
are moving along to success sc
smoothly and quietly, that it does
not seem to require the least bit OF
effort from them, to perform the du-
ties of this earth Obstacles are
easily pushed aside, and failures ap-
pear only to encourage them on the
upward path. We, the rank, pause
in our slow, ambling gait, to criticize
and enviously explain their superior
ity over us by abiding about not
having the opportunity. the capital
or something of the kind, yet while
we stand there discussing the situa-
ton, they are getting still farther
and farther ahead of US. There is
no doubt, but that some folks are

portunities are not as great in one

honestly try to figure out the actual
reason why some people are more
successful, it will be found that it
is because they work harder and stick
to their task more faithfully. There
are no cinches in life. Greatness and
success along any line depends on
hard labor and ability to overcome
difficulties when met. Abraham Lin
coin, before he achieved the position
of a statesmen and the presidency
of this glorious country of ours, had
to spend years of ceaseless toll, I'M
der all kinds of adverse circum-
stances. Henry Ford, the biggest
business man in the United States
today, had to overcome poverty be-
fore he started on the road to for
tune. ..Bucky' Stanley Harris, man
ager of the Washington baseball
team had to fight physical frailty
when youth to become the great
athlete that he is. Every worthwhile
accomplishment, no matter how
small it may seem to the outside
world, requires relentless effort and
hard work. Benvenuto Celline. the
renowned Italian sculptor, was once
called upon to make a miniature
statue for one of the kings of Eu-
rope. After he had finished the work.
he presented it to his royal highness
with request for an unusually
large sum of money for his services.
The king was angered and surprised
when he heard the price. He said
to Cellini, why do you charge so
much for so small statue?p The
famous artist replied, Eyes, 1t is
small; but you must not forget that
took life of hard labor and toll
to learn to make it, 1t takes a
lifetime of hard work to succeed at
anything. and whoever imagines that
a successful or great man has it soft,
is sadly mistaken

FORTY YEARS A
HERALD CORRESPONDENT

For over 40 years the Herald has
published a newsy, bright and we'll
written letter from Maurertown
These letters if compiled would de-
tail at length the history of that
community and contiguous territory
for over two-score years.
1t is a record of which any paper
would be proud and especially proud,
when it is borne in mind that in the
1000 issues of the paper in that time,
in only two or possibly three issues
were the letters omitted, and this
because of the sickness of the CORE
spondent
This brings us to the identity of
the competent and courteous corre-
spondent of the Herald at Maurer-
town, and it is real pleasure
FOR us to introduce to our read
ers, Mr.. Albert G. Shaver, the genial
manager of the Quality Music Store
in that town. Probably a majority
of our county readers know Mr..
Shaver personally, for there are few
homes which he has not visited and
in most of them are musical evil
dences of the visit, for he has dis
tributed pianos and organs in Shen-
andoah County by the carload.
Mr.. Shaver has the news sense and
a perusal of his letters will show
that nothing fit to print occurs in
his territory without it being noted
in his correspondence. He is also
impersonal and impartial, and this
lends interest to his letters.
We hope that the Herald will be
able to retain Mr. Shaver on it's stat
4 for another 40 years, or longer, II
he likes it.

NO WONDER AT ovATIoNs

A magnetic personality is unques-
tionably a potent asset in political
career. and it is a verify that this
potency is UNNECESSARILY increased
when back of it lies performances
in the public interests and actions
consistent with the veal of the Com
monwealth.
For this reason it is not hard to
understand why the statewide cam
paign of Senator Harry F. Byrd, on
the hustings, has met with such en-
thusiasm and why the ovations
which he received, even in the home
territory of his opponents, have been
so wholehearted and spontaneous.
In none of the addresses thus far
made to Virginia voters has the VAL
ley candidate deyiated one iota from
the stand which he originally took
on the issues involved, and those
who most bitterly oppose him have
been unable to single out state
ment made in his addresses which
is inconsistent with the policies out
lined when he first entered the pri-
mary campaign.
Senator Byrd has given to the vot-
ers definite plan for improvement
and expansion of the highway sys-
TEN. He has stated his position
clearly and Enthusiastically on tax
equalization. He has advocated sim
plification of governmental admin
istration and is pledged to economical
management of the affairs of the
Commonwealth. Without hesitation
he has opposed any measure or mea-
sures which would increase the bur.
den of the taxpayer, and he espouses
law enforcement
There is not a vital issue involved
but what has been met sincerely and
unequivocally by the Senator and
through the press and on the plat
form he has taken the people of Vir-
ginia into his confidence, making nc
promises inconsistent with their in.
terests and asking no endorsement
which he does not merit
Certainly this cannot be said OF
his opponents and particularly Mr.
Mapp for, although the primary is
but little more than two months
distant, upon many of the questions
which demand some definite plan OF
solution he has either been conspic
. uous by his silence or unsatisfactory,
in his ambiguity and evasion.

WHAT DOES IT AMOUNT Tor

Here in our neck of the universe,
where we thrive on kraut, and the
majority of us have never been in
troduced to pate de foie gras; here
where our culture knows the bass
singer of the rural pond as bull
frog rather than as a member OF
the rama catesbiana family, we are
naturally utiIitarians. We see more
in the useful things in the world
than in the useless, and oftimes
wonder at the lavish expenditures of
money in accomplishing something
which has in it no actual or tangi-
BILE value to humanity.
We cannot understand why mil
lions of money and scores of lives
have been spent in quest of an mag
mary pole in an limitless field of
snow and ice, and why men brave
death, eat blubber and sleep in igloos
for the transient glory attached to
the discovery of an arctic axis, or
why the Tibetan steppes are searched
by hardy explorers bent on the cap
ture of some geological freak.
From the Kenebec to the Rio
Grande, Americans are agog over
Amundsen's fight into the Arctic
Circle and the Roosevelt expedition
into the land of the Lama is excit-
ing the curiosity of the proletariat.
and the bourgeoise and the socially
elect.
Even if success crowns the efforts
of the daring explorers, or tragic
end marks their failure, of what di-
rect or indirect benefit to humanity
are the undertakings?
To scientists there is no necessity
for trip to the region of the aurora
borealis to prove that there is a
magnetic pole planted in eternal
! snow To the man or woman who
might think that angina pectoris is
the name of a movie star it matters
little whether there is a magnetic
or BARRIERS pole near DIR. Cooks one

cause of the conditions north oil
Greenland it is matter of little mo
ment to mankind whether the earth
has a pole or not.
Seriously then, except for the
purpose of creating heroes, what i.
to be gained by lavish expenditure
of money and the sacrifice of life en-
tailed in locating a pole" or captur
/ ing a gazookus in Tibet.
There are thousands of opportuni
ties for spending money on worth,
and worthwhile causes in every city
and hamlet in America. Suffering
could be alleviated. Education coulC
be fostered, the hungry fed and Thu
sick healed with the hundreds o.
thousands of dollars so uselessly
paid out in pursuit of pole
Therefore, when it is a question
of pole chasing, or gazookus trap
ping, we are utilitarians.

TOO MUCH LAW

In the multiplicity of federal, state
and municipal enactments of law
making bodies it is little wonder that
the average citizen gets WOODY in
lodging ''verboten' signs. There
are over a million such statutes COW
ering everything from nuisances to
murder and dealing with every in
clination or emotion which flesh is
heir or addicted to.
The Annotated Code of Virginia,
with its 1000 sections and subsec-
tions of legal guidance and 1000
pages of statutory provisions, is
only one of As similar evidences of
the proneness of states to enact laws,
and when there is added to this one
federal law day since the adoption
of the Constitution in 1887, one
may readily understand why the lay
man is afflicted with mental miasma,
when he attempts to "abide by the
law"
Senator Reed of Missouri says we
have $4,000 more laws than we need,
and probably this estimate could be
doubled and there would still remain
enough statutes for the moral and
civil guidance of the people.
Under divine instruction the Sage
of Sinai wrote on two tablets of
stone the basic laws upon which
almost all of the moral laws of the
ages have been builded, and yet in
these days of enlightenment and ad-
vanced civilization it takes tons of
tones to embody the Thou Shalt
Nots" of long-eared legislators.
There is no gainsaying the fact
that disrespect for law is rooted in
too much law, for there are thou
sands of statutory provisions which
are never enforced and which were
never intended to be enforced.
The dog. game, prohibition and
laws in Virginia contain
as many provisions as almost all of
the Code Napoleon, which covered
every phase of litigation
for an entire nation, and If it were
possible to delete, boil down and
make sensible the Virginia statutes
the worthwhile sections could prob
ably be embodied in book the size
of Gruber's Almanac.
1t is an axiom as old as law itself
that Ignorance of the law excuses
no man." and yet colossal mind
plus an uncanny memory could never
soak up a fraction of the foolishness
which fills large part of our law
books.
The legislature of Virginia will
meet again at the beginning of the |
year, and it would be a matter of \
wisdom to pass just one more law
a law to make it unlawful to enact
any additional laws.
Indeed, 1t might be wise to adj
journ Immediately upon assembling
In order that the people of the state
might have a holiday from law
