Cheops asa Tee.

The spectacle Of the Prince Of Wales
driving a golf ball from the top Of the
pyramid of Cheops in Egypt is not es-
pecially thrilling, nor does 1t arouse any
particular degree Of admiration for the
nerve or enterprise of the British royal
scion. Indeed, there Is some ground for
suggesting that this misuse Of the
ancient tomb of one Of Egypt's Kings Is
not altogether appropriate. To use
Cheops as tee may crafty a sport
ing impulse, but it does not prove any
thing or solve any problem. 1t is, in
deed, a little short of dissertation. For
after all this great pile of stone Is a
burial place, and although 1t may have
been maltreated in the past by tourists
and Adventures 1t should be respected
as a place of interment.
Some years ago certain base ball
players achieved passing fame by catch
ing balls dropped from the top Of the
Washington Monument, feat Of real
dificulty and requiring great skill and
pluck. Although the accomplishment
was praised, the use of this shaft for
such a performance was deplored, and
now all such doings are properly for
hidden.
The climbing Of Cheops is itself quite
an achievement. It calls for strength
and endurance, but it is usually accom-
plished by the aid Of experienced guides
who do most of the work, hauling their
charges up the steep steps which consti-
tute the present surface of the pyramid.
1t should be enough for the venture
some traveller to reach the apex with
out mistreating the venerable pile in a
senseless exhibition Of golflng skill.
Were any less distinguished parsonage
than the Prince of Wales to play this
prank he would probably be oficially
rebuked and perhaps punished for mis-
conduct.

This conference of the various ele-
ments of the grocery trade will help the
Federal Trade Commission in its study
of chain store operations, which Is just
getting fairly under way, and also In
its study of price maintenance, the re-
suits of both of which are to be reported
to the Senate. The chain store systems
are increasing: 1t has been estimated
that at least 500 900 Of new capt.
tai will have been invested in merchan-
dising chains of various kinds this year
before December ends. There are nearly
1000 chain systems, operating more
than 100000 stores in the various fields
of merchandising. An interesting de-
yelopment is the spread of retail stores
owned by mail order houses, one large
firm alone last Spring having announced
program of $500 such outlets ulti-
mately, while there is a distinct trend
toward chains of department stores.
In some communities, If not in all,
certain classes of the chain stores which
advertise leaders" that are sold at a
loss have been hit because of tend
ency of a growing number OF sharp
shooter" consumers to purchase the
"loss leader" and nothing else. indie
pendent merchants are forming pur-
chasing associations to meet the bulk
buying of the chains, emphasizing serv-
ice, and otherwise changing their BUSH
ness methods. but the future OF the
competition remains largely clouded

Among the subjects which the grocery
trade conference will consider are mis-
representation and secret rebates; free
deals" by which manufacturer or whole
saler gives quantity of goods free
with a paid order; commercial bribery
of purchasing agents and of statesmen;
lottery schemes. discriminatory prices.
uniform practice on trucking charges,
discounts, sales below cost. "full-line"
sales. fraudulent manufacture. wasteftl
practices, and certain phases of resale
price maintenance.
This agenda alone Is sufficient to
make merchants in all lines watch the
proceedings closely and to demonstrate
that the consumer has vital interest

On the Beach.

Like wanderers on the beach Of a
strange ocean at sunrise catching
vague glimpses of islands Of promise
wrapped in crimson mist far away, the
members of the British Association for
the Advancement of Science looked out
over mysterious and mystical vastnesses
of UNEMPLOYED nature at their annual
meeting at Glasgow.
Even for this great scientific body 1t
was a notable meeting. The atmosphere
was charged with expectancy of revela-
tion-of the feeling that some great
secret of nature was about to be dis
closed; that the harvest of thousands
of sewers in widely scattered fields of
knowledge was to be reaped. One pro-
fesSor indicated that science stood on
the threshold of knowledge of the
chemical and physical difference be-
tween life and death, while another
propounded notable new theory of
the primal nature of matter. In both
cases the explanations were profound
and beyond the understanding of any
but specialists. They were like waves
thrown up from the unknown vast
and breaking about the feet of the
scientists.
The very sublimity of the outlook
before these men induced an atmosphere
Of reverence feeling Of helplessness
In the face Of the enormous expanse OF
the UNEMPLOYED. It was frankly Tecog.

Anti-War Treaties Arouse
Conflicting Views of Effect

would impose upon the United States
any duty whatsoever. Interpretations
which discern such duty in the
treaty are regarded by the State De-
partment as wholly amateur and ir-
responsible.
In corroboration of its contentious
the State Department points to a
speech made by Mr.. kellogg before
the New York Council on Foreign Re-
lations while the treaty was being
negotiated. Mr.. Kellogg said:
Since the purpose of the United
States is, so far as possible, to elm
mate war as a factor in international
relations I cannot state too en-
phatically that 1t will not become a
party to any agreement which. directly
or indirectly, expressly or by implica
ton. is military alliance. The United
States cannot obligate itself in adj
vance to use its armed forces against
any other nation of the world It does
not believe that the peace of the world
or OF Europe depends upon or can
be assured by treaties of military al
lance, the futility of which as guar
antors of peace is repeatedly demon
strated in the pages of history"
In sum:
A lot of people who crashed the
gate at this treaty'S christening say
that it looks as if 1t wanted to grow
up to be f1re-extinguisher in Europe's
next war.
The treaty's parents maintain that
1t does not look that way at all.
In December the parents will en-
deavor-with presumably some sue
Cess-to persuade the Senate that they
know their own child.

nized that matter and life might be
plumbed to their utmost depths with
out coming much nearer solution OF
the first great mystery. The further
men went the more these fundamentals
of science resolved into drifting shad-
ows on the face Of more fundamental
reality, which, in turn, might itself be
only a shadow.
To express the nature Of life, 1t was
explained, it might be necessary to in
vent a new kind OF mathematics, just
as 1t has been necessary to make use
of a new kind Of mathematics to ex-
press the basic nature of matter. Words
are inadequate to convey the subleties
involved In these advances Of science
advances not toward the ultimate truth
itself, but to the nature and form OF
the shadows, the realities Of our world
of time and space, which float on the
surface of the truth. These shadows
obey the laws Of shadows-poor three
dimensional phantasies that they are.
Beyond lies-what?
The members of the British associa-
ton were very reverent In the face Of
the question.
