Lindburgh's Flight Helped Bring World
 Closer Together

Charles Lindbergh sailed from New York to Paris on four sand wiehes. three sips of water and two mods Of sleep in the brief timeof B F hours. II took four months 10 come from Spain. In both instances the feats had been looked upon as prac- tieally impossible But when they were done the world gasped and thrilled because distances had been made less an obstacle through mems acquaintance with the world.
 The world was formerly a vast ex- panse of nations estranged one from the other, each speaking its separate tongue and each a stranger to the thought and life of the other The past centuries have seen this world diminished until today every nation is a constant observer of the customs and the thought and life of every other nation. and waits but a day l for it's information about current events of the other nations.
 4 few generations ago. to have called the people of the world to- gether to sit down about a table and discuss a common problem would have been considered not only fool ish but impossible. Today a league for the consideration of great world problems sits permanently in Swift zerland. One of the problems con tinually before this league is that of alcoholism.
 At Winona Lake, Ind. August IT. g. the world will send it's represen= tatiYes to. and center it's interests in a congress sponsored by the World League Against Alcoholism. Men will be there who speak every tongue understood by men. It is hoped this will be the greatest gathering for the consideration of the problem of alcoholism ever assembled.
 We who are young recognize that the hope of the world is in our gen. eration. Young people have always been the conquerors. The world will look to the young people 10 be the conquerors not only of the air in transatlantic flights. but of the Yf- cious and destructive appetites and impulses of the human race.
 The world problem of alcoholism will be settled with the aid of all that has been constructed by the fa- thers, but more by the contribution of those who are still young and the unborn who will be young. The young who can attend this congress will contribute greatly by their presence and will gain a vision and information that will enable them to be of great service to their eommu- mites afterwards.
 Two special days have been set aside for young peoples program. On Wednesday evening, the 17th, and on Thursday morning and Thurs day afternoon there will be sessions at which speakers of world reputa- tion will deliver addresses on the al- eohol question, and on Thursday afternoon there will be sessions at which speakers of world reputation will deliver addresses on the alcohol question, and on Thursday morning and Thursday afternoon there will be sessions for discussion by young people, led by experts.
 In this fellowship of young peo- pie will be assembled. it is hoped. student leadership from many na- tions with hundreds of students from our own land. The mind is limit less. Let every forward-looking young person leave no stone unturn- ed in an endeavor to attend.-L. s. Wesley. field secretary Intercollegi- ate Prohibition Association.

JUDGE [. [. STONE MAKES ADDRESS 1T
 CHAMBER MEET
PLANS TO BRING FAMILY TO ALASKA IN THE VERY
 NEAR FUTURE

First of all I wish to express my sincere appreciation of the courtesy and wonderful hospitality extended to me since my arrival in Seward yes lterday and the great pleasure I feel in being invited to your Chamber of Commerce luncheon, stated Judge Clyde E. Stone, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in the State of Hi .nois' who was the distinguished guest of honor at yesterdays luncheon and business meeting at the Seward Grill. The prominent jurist, who just completed a splendid hunt Westward has been in the city for three days and is leaving for the South this eve- ming a passenger on the s. s. Admir- al Watson. Continuing Judge Stone said:
 T had scarcely become settled hav- ing just completed a session with the barber, than your Mayor, MT. Ray, called upon me. He not only offered me one key but all the keys to your city; for which I was very grateful.

THE ABUSE OF PRIVILEGE

wonder II my readers some
times pause to think Of the bound
less privileges that men and wO-
men possess? There is nothing in
or on this big, round earth-no,
nor in the skies above, that is not
ours to lay hold of, and use as we
please, so long as we respect the
rights of our fellow-men and wo-
men.
Yet, man Is the only created
being that abuses his divine per-
nit, well knowing that he must
suffer by so doing. Like the spoil
ed child, he sprees, does excuses
in everything debauches his digeS-
tive, eliminative, nervous and SEX
ual systems-there is no privilege
that he does not ,abuse-and the
penalties are as sure as today's
sunset!
The abuse Of privilege is man.
kinds most outstanding sin; wa
ought to be ashamed of ourselves,
blessed as we are above all an
mate species, and defantly indulg-
ing our appetites as if we were
damageproof. Who among us has
ever observed one of the so-callei
lower animals violating the natur-
al law? Violating the law of right
living? They are seldom i'll, and
usually live out the full eXpecta-
tion of life unless man interferes.
Excuses in food and drink; ex-
travagance in our output of ener-
gy; prodigality in things which
are sacred; intemperance in So
called luxuries; defiance within the
orchard of forbidden fruits-alt
these are producers of suffering
and unhappiness, curtailers Of life
itself. / am not sermonizing,-
am arguing for temperance in ALL
things, and against the violation
of our God-given privileges, know
ing that life health and happiness
are the sure rewards. Right liy-
ing will, in time, do away with
the doctor and his gripful of "pel- |
let's" There is nothing that we
may not use; the danger lies in |
abuse.
