Payes Way for Uniformity.
The conference now has paved the
y,yay for uniform action in the 40
states of the Union. A Keynote was
sounded during the last hours or the
session by Gov. John e. Winant OF
New Hampshire, who appealed TO tne
delegations representing the govern
ors of more than 40 States to take the
initiative in carrying the resolutions
adopted into effect.
It was plain to close observers az
the conference that delegates Will fight
tooth and nail to place the recon-
mendations before their State Leg1s-
altures and to have the meetings
views placed upon the statute books.
It was also plain that many minor
details will not be concurred in by the
various States, but there is no rea-
sonable doubt that every State gov
e1ning body will -!be in accord with
the principles outlined and will press
their adoption.

be correctly declared monumental in
almost every respect - Secretary
Hoover made these remarks:
1--WE have naanifestly a. minimum
of 10000, 900 people-over one-siXth
of our population-directly driving
these vehicles. Probably another
10, ,0O0, 900 people drive from time to
time. All human beings are Of unequal
capacity and unequal character. We
have not alone to consider the engi-
neering problems involved by the i'm
position Of this great discovery in
transportation, but we have a multi
tude of human problems to consider in
connection with their drivers.
1T believe these conferences have
had a most profound effect in advanc-
ing the public view, developing scien-
tific thought and the gradual advance
lment of the problem toward solution.
Our work is not completed with the
formulation of results of investiga-
tions of common conclusions, at which
we have arrived. We must secure
their acceptance that they may be
put into action.
Now. again, it has not been our
purpose-nor has it developed in de-
bate-that we are engaged in estab-
fishing new organizations, but rather
that we should establish sco operation
between organizations of different To-
calities and the solution of the multi
tude of complexities with which We
are confronted"

BY HENRY w. BUM.

|HE following is a brief sum-
mary of the most important
news of the world for the
seven days ended March q:
The British Empire.-Sir
Austen Chamberlain's conduct OIL
. affairs at Geneva was formally ap-
nroved by the Commons, 32o TO l5o'
after a not too brilliant debate, IN
which that conduct was assalied py
J,Ioyd George and Ramsay MacDon-
aid and justified by Premier Bald
win and Sir Austen himself.
Sir Austen stressed the point that
the Locarno accords were not weak
ened. but, rather, strengthened. pv
what happened at Geneva. ana MT
Baldwin did the same in MS iarSe
and bappy way The latter truly
ohseryed that he had never known
worse abuse heaped on a man than
that heaped on the foreign secretary
hy certain sections of the British
nress i'm connection with the Geneva
business.
The Commons evidently under
s4ood that Sir Austen had been en-
barrassed by certain nuances OF the
situation for which he was not re-
snonsible (or, if so at all. only IN
minor and venial degree) ana which
he was not at liberty to disclose, ana
concluded that he had acted honora-
blv and (though perhaps without the
inspiration that could have been
wished) intelligently
So the gloomy predictions SO Ilte
only the other day have been 1alsl-
fed. Chamberlain. BRAND, Skrzynskl'
,uther and Stresemann were TO lail'

sequence of Geneva. None has fallen,
nor seems in danger of falling, by
reason of Geneva. BRAND may fall
again within a few days. but II he
does it will be for other reasons.

Ear Found Delicate
Fatigue Barometer

Nobody has proposed an S-hour
day or a 48-hour week for weary
ears-so far. Nevertheless, ears do
suffer from fatigue, and when they
are tired they don't work so efficient
ly, according to experiments being
conducted at the University of Wis
consin by Drs. G. A. Goldsmith, L. S.
Luenzman, L. Sammons and B. w.
Zimmerman.
Using as their apparatus a watch
mounted on a moving carriage, they
confirmed belief that keenness of
hearing is less at night and at the
end of the week.
Mental work always causes de-
crease in keenness of hearing, the
scientists find. Severe. exercise has
the same effect. Moderate exercises
may sharpen hearing, but this de-
pends upon the amount of exercise
and the condition of the subject.
The ears are rather delicate ba-
rometer of physical fitness, the tests
indicate. Diminished power of hear
ing may give warning of approaching
bodily or mental fatigue some hours
before the individual is aware of any
change in his condition.

against the reporting of any reappor-

MiscellaneOus.-The old conflict be-
tween the central government of
Spain and the separatists. or Sim

most proper designation, of Catalonia
grows ever more acute. Madrid has
recently made a number of arrests
in that connection.

DR.. Gesell believes that dependent
children who are likely to be boarded
out or adopted should be diagnosed by
clinical experts, and every effort
made to place them where they will
be most likely to grow uD normally.
The orphan child who promises to
be mental giant, according TO this
theory, should be placed with foster
parents who. will understand and de
veiop his talents.
Questions now used by the Yale
Psychoclinic i'm the official report OF
mental examinations of dependent
children include the following:
What is the child's intelligence
Superior? Normal? Dull normal?
Inferior? Predetermined?
Educational outlook: Could the
child probably complete grammar
school? High school? College? Or
should he have special class work?
Vocational training?
would the child be likely to do
well if placed in a family home? III
so, would you recommend an ordinary
home or a superior homer"
DR.. Gesell says that infancy is In
many respects an ideal period for
adoption. But he adds that safe
guarding adoptions in every possible
way is an urgent social need.

new AUNdnc6 1NOIeu.
Another rather new and markedly
important advance is indicated in the
following recommendation as shown
in the drafting committees summary:
ITO provide unified consideration
and treatment of traffic problems in
metropolitan areas, which include
more than one city or a city and po-
litically independent suburbs, it will
be generally necessary to depend upon
an enlargement of the unofficial traffic
committee of the central by adding
proper representatives of important
suburban communities or in the case
of two large cities in a single metro
politan area. to form a joint traffice
committee with representatives of SUI
burban communities added. When de-
velopments warrant, an official metro
politan authority should be created to
control physical growth, and to pro-
vide for proper traffic facilities within
large population centers."
1t goes almost without saying that
the conference took most determined
stand on the question of grade cross
ings. The conference was as one that
they should be eliminated wherever
possible and that where they existed
adequate signs and notices should an.
nounce their proximity.

Elks home here Monday night, June / .
complete and interesting program
is being prepared for publication il
the next few days and Judge Albert
NJ. Sames of Tombstone will be the
Flag day speaker.
Various patriotic features will be
embraced in the program which early

the citizens of Douglas. If the wealth
er is fine, the program is usually hels
from the side porch Of the lGllls lodge
which faces on 70 avenue.
reception at the lodge is being
planned following the program and a
wide attendance is anticipated
A fitting tribute to the significance
of Flag day is contained in the follow
ing excerpt from an editorial appear
ing in the June number of "rhe Elks
Magazine" 1t states:
''No ceremonial of our order more
truly and completely reflects it's dis
tinc4iVe Americanism and its funda-
mental ideals, for it is in nonor of
that emblem, first upon our affairs,
which synbolizes the highest and
noblest purposes to which the order
is dedicated. AS proclaimed in the
ritual:
For the flag is the heart and,
soul of Elkdom as it is the symbol
OF dhe heart and soul Of America.
'"Fhe celebration OF Flag day, as
conducted by the Ell1s lodge is real
service to our country. tt is instruc-
tive as we'll as inspirational and re
Iindles the fire of patriotic order in
the hearts of all who attend. Partici-
patton IN the ceremony by its members
is, therefore, a patriotic duty as well
as a fraternal obligation.
whether the occasion be celebrated
in the lodge room, in PUBLIC hall, or
under the open sky, it is one which
the order delights to observe. It is
one which every Elk should attend in
d spirit of reverence, joyfulness and
pride. By such attendance he aids
in the public teaching of a splendid
lesson in true Americanism. He will
experience the satisfaction which al
ways follows a duty faithfully per-
formed. And Inevitably he will be
thrilled by the consciousness that he
is contributing to the demonstratioti
of the justice of our proud claim, that
the order of Elks is the Great Ameri-
can fraternity"
