States TO the other nations of the western hemisphere
are likely to agree that the interpretation Of this re-
Iationship by the former secretary Of state was more
than an exposition Of such problems Is present them
selves for solution from time 20 time.
Mr.. Hughes, as is well known, possesses that not
too common quality Of blending q seasoned statesman
shin with ability 70 reach an audience unfamiliar with
the intricacies of internationalism Now that the ad'
dresses in question are availabls in connected FORM
their educational purpose is evident.
As might be expected, Mr.. Hughes treats the MON
roe Doctrine with that sane consideration that made
his appearance at the Havana conference an event o.
outstanding Importance. He is frank enough TO ADMIT
that "if we sought to abandon it we might have o.
much trouble in showing what it was we had abandoned
as we have in dealing with the doctrine itself" Be
yond this. Mr.. Hughes devotes himself to the historical
development of the doctrine. The recognition Of gov
ernments, furnishing arms and loans, and the protec'
ton Of nationals and their properties are other phases
Of his Interpretation that cannot fail to be Of interest
to students Of international affairs. So also in dis
cussing relations with Canada, Mr.. Hughes shows his
complete sympathy with the northern neighbor.
Should Mr.. Hughes feel that acceptance Of the post
offered him as a member OF the World Court is a duty
consonant with his American ideals, such an acquisi-
ton cannot fail to lend dignity to the institution a
The Hague. Here nations are forging link to link in
an endeavor to improve world relationship. The in
terpreter Of Pan-Americanism would undoubtedly
strengthen the chain, the purpose Of which is to girdlt
the earth. Mr.. Hughes within recent years has done
much to prove American isolation a figure Of speech
that has lost its application.

Equal Opportunity For
Rural Pupils

Major ". e. Thomasson, who viii represent the
Nacosioches district in the state senate after serving
two ferms in the lower house, announces he will in
troAuce a bill in the next session Of the legislature
designed to give the children Of the rural districts ed
vocational opportunities equal to those enjoyed by chill
dren Of urban eenters.
al am planning bills which will give the boys and
girls Of rural districts the same length Of school term
ard the same quality Of equipment and teachers tina,
the city schools have. The country children arc en-
titled To it," Major Thomasson said in announcing hs
program.
Efforts 10 give rural districts the same advantages
rs urban districts have been made in previous legis-
lstures. but have failed, due to opposition to distrib-
uting the tax burden. The schools Of Texas are fl
rrnced largely upon the theory that each district
Should Ray its own way. the state assisting to the ex-
~ IL the scholastic apportionment. This policy APP
pears fair in theory, but in practice il results in ex-
cellent schools in the urban centers and very mediocre,
short term schools in thousands OF rural precincts.
This condition does not exist in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley, where rural children for years have
enioved practically the same advantages as those in the
cities. but in no other large section of the state does
this hold true. In fact, there are large areas in Texas
where the rural schools rank very low in efficiency and
the rural children are virtually deprived Of the priv
iered Of securing an education.
Schools. both urban and rural, are n states greatest
asset. and Texas cannot afford to permit any rural
school 70 function inefficiently. The state possesses
abundant means to finance those schools that cannot
be financed by local taxation. and every precept Of good
government demands that the rural children Of the
state be given advantages and opportunities such as
those Of the urban centers enjoy.
Major Thomasson's plan for financing the rural dis
,ri.,, has not been announced. but there can be no
donbt that an equitable program can be worked out
md funds provided to give every school child in Texas
, full term each year under teachers who are fully
qualified.

The World and ALI
NOISE WITH MEALS
By Charles Y. Driseoll

The genuine tin ~pieplate for good advice is awarded
this week to the Pacific Caterer, a magazine for hotel
es and restauranteurs published in Seattle.
Advising proprietors, it says:
"Most people want to eat in peace and quiet. A
restful restaurant atmosphere evokes a sigh Of salts
faction from the tired patron as he sinks into a chair
and concentrates on the menu. Other things being
equal, the quiet eating place has an advantage over the
noisy one.
~Noise distracts and irritates. Train bus boys to
handle dishes as silently as possible. In some restau-
rants the elatter Of china and silverware is deafening,
aye, maddening.
Keep kitchen noises down to a minimum, even IL
you have to use a Maxim silencer on the dishwasher.
Kitchen clatter disturbs diners. Even a so-called hash
house can be conducted in a quiet, gentlemanly man
ner."
1 sincerely hope that every keeper Of an eating place
will read this advice. And / marvel that the idea has
never occurred to any writer before.
There is a chain Of white-tile restaurants, charging
prices big enough to warran. brainy management, that
drives thousands Of patrons away by the simple device
Of throwing dishes into some sort Of mechanical dish
smasher in the dining room. Mattresses, instead Of
carrying the dishes quietly out into the kitchen, are
compelled to sling them into a resounding steel hopper
which is strategically located where it can annoy the
most diners.
1t Is impossible for a sensible person to eat in such
2 place without developing violent indigestion within
three hours after the meal. I have eaten in these res
taurants upon rare occasions, usually On holidays, when
other restaurants are closed. ! have always suffered
pangs Of indigestion sfterward. and pains in my ears
during the meals.
Efficiency. as l have always maintained, is one Of
the deadly sins Of America. These Gathering operat-
ing-room restaurants illustrate what | mean. They
have got some efficiency engineer to design their
dining rooms. lie has found that old-fashioned wait
resses wasted many foot-pounds Of energy carrying
dishes back to the kitchen. 50 he has them slam the
dishes into the hopper right before the ears o. the
hapless diners. Give me the good, inefficient old ca.-
ing place, where the patron who pays the bill may have
what he wants to eat, and may eat it in restful quiet!

cd the conversation from the partic-
ular TO the general. OF course, she
might have said. I'm happy because
I'm with YOU" which was true
enoIgh. but Jane rather scorned
such obvious and palpable methods.
She was not sure yet, that she loved
Tony Hull nor had she any more as
that he cared for her. At
times, by a sudden look, a word, he
seemed to imply il, but she could
not resist the feeling that for some
reason he was holding his emotions
in cheek. What was this reason?
Had Irene Shirley anything to do
with it? Whatever the cause. IL

her, in q measure, on guard. Tony

Here's a steak I brought down,
and some eggs and bacon, and let
tucc and tomatoes, and peas and
asparagus and new potatoes, and
fruit. Can you do anything with
Them"
"If you will find me an apron"
Jane said, with a wrinkling little
grin, "IU show you. Handling a
boat is all very well, but" she
put on the apron he took from 4

Tony made another Of the remarks
which filled Jane with such delight
full thrills.
Wouldn't il be wonderful" he
said. with an almost boyish awk-
wardness. "if we-you and Were
weil-just going on-like this for
always"
1T would" Jane replied, firmly
"if we didn't have to waste our
young lives chasing the well-known
