or temporary conditions. Where
they are permanent, the driver
should be separated from the steer

Other conditions causing driver
strain arise from environment
rather than from within. The con-
fusion Of congested traffic will, for
example, cause an experienced
driver to lose temporarily the skill

defective brake or other defect

drive with such abnormal alert
ness-for example, without chains
on icy and wet streets-for several
hours at a time without becoming
fatigued and thus liable to accident.
Accidents would be materially re-

river and running almost to the south
ern end of the state, were made
permanent by order of Judge George

The judge in his finding of facts
held that the United Mine Workers
had "unlawfully combined and con-

control all labor in the United States
and on the American continent en-
gagged in mining and producing coal.''
The union. he held engaged in an

tell a story illustrative of his dis

Sir Henry was playing his annual

Arctic explorer, returned from an
expedition from the Polar regions.
The curtain was just about to rise
one evening when Stoker came be-
hind the scenes with news that Nam
sen was sitting In the royal box.
Irving received the news in silence.
A few minutes later one of the
members Of the company hustled up
to the star to tell him the same thing.
Irving merely grunted. And right on
the heels Of this up came a fiuttering
woman "super" and said:
low, Sir Emery, did you know
hansen was in the 'ousep"
"Nansen? Nansen?" said Irving, as
though he were trying to remember
who this person Narsen might be.

MY FAVORITE
STORIES
By IRWIN S. COBB
(Copyright.)
Two Conundrums and a
Tragedy
Copyright.

90 not know why it is that nearly
all the stories having to do with fru-
gal1ty should be aimed at the Scot.
Personally, it has always seemed TO
me that the Scotch were not a stingy
race, but rather that they merely had
elevated canninesS in business deal
lngs to the nth degree. Your average
Scotchman does not particularly wish
10 hoard his money; he merely desires
that when he spends it. ne shall obtain
proper return. But if one may
judge by the everbearing yield of
Scotch stories-or rather, stories
aimed at the Scotch-the world at
large holds to a different view.
You know of course The ancient
conundrum which was printed years
ago in London Punch. AS recall it,
this conundrum ran as follows:
How, at the conclusion of a rail-
road journey, can you definitely fix
the nationality of an English pas
senger, an Irish passenger, and q
Scotch passenger"
The answer was:
Inc EngliShman hurrieS to the
Understand; the Irishman hastens to
the bar; the Scotchman goes back
through the train to see if anybody
left anything"
Then here just the other day, q
friend fired this one at me:
Why" he asked, shave the Scotch
sense of humor?"
"All right" / said, 'I'Il bite; tell
me, Mr.. Bones, why have the Scotch
a sense of humor?"
Because" he said, 'it's a gift"
A still later addition 10 the crop
has just reached me. 1t Is stated that
an Englishman, standing treat to
Scotchman at a pub, recommended
that his guest try some very fine
brandy which the establishment had
in stock at three shillings drink.
With gIistening eyes the Scotchman
agreed. He waited until the barmaid
had poured out the brandy and then
with a sudden leap he bounced upon
the glass, Selling it in both hands as
in a wise.
"Why do you do that, old dearT
asked the astonished host.
Because" said the Scofchman,
when was a vera young man, back
in Edinburgh in the year 1862, saw
one of them spilled"

TREATY OF LOCARNO
FORMALLY APPROVED
Treaty Seeks to Make War I'M
possible for Europe
Disarmament Next.

Locarno Switzerand.-The treaty
of Locarno, carrying elaborate ma
chinery to prevent war between the
jealous powers of the European con-
tinent for all time, has been signed.
The pact, which seeks 10 make war
suicidal for the nation which opens
hostilities, was initiated by France,
Germany and Belgian as the makers
of the security treaty, and by England
and Italy as guarantors.
Under its terms, France, Germany
and Belgium pledge themselves never
to attack or invade the others terri
tory and England and Italy agree to
use their might against any of the
three which breaks the agreement
Arbitration between any of the ma
tions signatory to the pact. which be-
come involved in disputes, is made
compulsory. with the World Court of
International Justice, the council of
the League of Nations and boards of
Cancellation alternative means for the
arbitration.
Corollary to the main security treaty
are other agreements dovetailing with
it to establish an inviolate Rhine zone
between France and Belgium and Ger
many and an arbitration treaty he
tween Germany and Poland and
Czechoslovakia, which contains means
of settling by arbitration all disputes
between those three countries both as
to eastern boundaries and all other
differences and the provision that if
Poland or Czechoslovakia is attacked
France shall aid them.
The corollary treaties are to be
signed in London. The conference adj
journed after the main security treaty
was signed, amid rejoicing in Locarno
and the hailing of the success of the
conference as the dawn of new era
of peace and confidence in Europe and
the world.
Contained in the agreements is a
pledge that Germany will join the
League of Nations and the league is
anxious that Germany enter it at the
earliest possible date, to make way
for the next step in the bringing of a
new day to Europe.
This step will be the calling by the
league of conference to limit the
ornaments of the European powers on
land. sea and air.
Out of the signature of the Locarno
treaties and the results of the disarma-
ment conference which it is intended
to have follow as soon as security is
attained are expected the following
changes in Europe:
The wiping out of the fears of the
French for the Germans, Germans for
France, Czechoslovakia and Poland
for Germany and Russian fact to
destroy the constant jealousy and
hatred, born of fear of their neigh
bors. under which the inhabitants of
central and western Europe have lived
for centuries.
To remove from these peoples the
burden of economically crushing arma-
ments. disordering economic condi-
tons and high taxes resulting there
from.
