More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE ETERNAL PUZZLE

i he II i GfLNAL HOAAGE
When lovely woman cut her hair
Like children's in a nursery
My earliest impulse was to swear
The fashion was but cursory.
"In just little while" said
The style will turn about again,
Bobbed hair will pail upon the eye
And then she'll grow it out again
But when ten years had rolled around
1 said in accents faltering:
MY Judgment, once extremely sound
Apparently wants altering.
She bobs her lovely tresses still
From which it is oStensible
That fashion does not rule her will,
She seems to have turned sensible. .
But very recently I've found
Alas, that was wrong again
The women that l see around
Have let their locks grow long
again.
For girls and matrons every where
Observing what the others do
Today proceed to wear their hair
Exactly as their mothers do.
Too bad the fair and charming sex,
Which 1 admire transcendently,
Are tethered by style complex;
They can't act Independently.
The whole sex hates to be unique,
The brightest and the best OF them
Would think she was frightful freak
If not just like the rest OF them

KELL0GG'S PLANS
His World Peace Proposals
Being Considered

Washington, June % PI-Drafts
CT a treaty HIGH Secretary kellogg
is confident will bring mankind
age long aspirations for universal
peacA NEARER to practical fulfillment
than EVER before IN the histiry of
the world today awaited action at
the capitals of IA nations,
Growing originally from the pro-
posal Of the French foreign MINIS
ter, Aristide BRAND, that France
and the United States join in coin
pact ienouncing and outlawing war
between each other, the drafts were
delivered on Saturday to the govern
ments of Australia, Belgium, Can
ada, Czechoslovakia, France. Ger
many. Great Britain, India, the Irish
Free State, Italy. Japan, New Zea-
land. Poland. and South Africa. An
explanatory note from Secretary
Kellogg accompanied each.
Under the proposed treaty, the
text of which was made public yes
terday, the signatory nations would
"solemnly declare ...... that they
condemn recourse to war ...... and
renounce it as an instrumen Of ma
tional policy in their relations with
one another
In addition. they would agree
that the settlement and solution OF
all disputes or conflicts Of whatever
nature or of whatever origin they
may be, which arise among them
shall never be sought except by pa
citic means
In the preamble, it is made clear
that should one signatory power
seek TO promote its national inter-
ests by resort to war; all other sig
natory nations would be freed I'M
mediately of their obligations to the
offending state under the treaty. and
that the latter would be denied the
benefits of the compact.
In his note, Secretary Kellogg de-
clared that the United States Was
ready to sign the treaty as propos-
ed Immediately, and expressed the
hope that the other nations would
be able to accept it promptly and
without qualifications.
He pointed out that the new DRAFT
was a modification in form thougf
f, not in substance of the treaty pro-
posed by the United States In April
The changes We're made, he said, u
avoid delaying or complicatfng the
negotiations. since it was possible IT
this way to meet objections raised
| by other governments
The treaty itself makes no men
, ton of self defense, and Mr.. Kellogg
/ explained that the United States con
1 siders this a right inherent in ever,
/ sovereign state ard implicit IN ever!
, treaty
! AS drafted, the treaty would leave
! the way clear for every nation II
| the world to become slgnatory.

pain to him to be separated from
King Michael whom he loved dearly.
Since he was exiled from Ru-
