would do credit to the appetite of one
who had just worked in the fields for
six hours
There can be little question that
those who were born and bred in the
country or small towns fall into the
full meal habit when they take to the
cities.
1t is part of their bringing up.
They no more question the necessity
for square meal" at noon than they
do that of another one at or Z
O'Clock in the evening.
1t was the custom where they came
from. and different environment does
not change customs with the faithful.
Such meal is as much mental as
physical.
There is here a survival of annette
which is most interesting. Although
the real need for such a daily intake
has not been present for perhaps a
dozen years, the subject thinks that he
Will die OF hunger If he does not so eat.
He would astonish himself vastly il
he would cut down on his meal and
note that he got along Just as we'll as
ever, II not little better. One would
say nothing against plenty of food in
the individual case. 1t Is true that
intellectual work requires certain
amount of food. even as physical labor
demands certain replenishment.
Neither Psychologist nor psychologist
would care to set the bounds beyond
which neither should eat. Every man
is and must continue to be law unto
himself when 1t comes to eating, but
there can be little question that few
men one sees throwing food into their

problem.
They are hungry, and they just eat
More and more the good habit of
eating lightly for lunch is prevailing.
with the result that after-lunch drowsi-
ness no longer aff1icts thousands of
workers who formerly suffered from it.
Too often cures" of all sorts fail to
work but here is one which is euaran-
teed to live up to its reputation If the
sufferer is willing to give 1t fair trial
There Is no more disconcerting thing
than for An honest and sincere en-
ploye to find himself seriously ham,
pered after lunch by longing to lie
down and go to sleep.
Few workers in the ranks can seek
a couch and fall asleep for a few
minutes. 1t is said that 2 or minutes
sleep, in such cases, will completely
relieve the feeling of sleepiness, but
the sad fact is that this is cure which
Is not generally available.
The only other cure-and in some
ways it is better one---is that of
light eating Going easy on the grub"
not only aids digestions, makes for a
clearer head and better nerve tone
after lunch and helps the pocketbcok.
but above all it permits longer time
at the lunch table for conversation.
Men OF the cities no longer rush into
a place and swallow ham sandwich
and cup of coffee almost before they
have seated themselves. They are more
and more succumbing to the good habit
Of talking for while after the meal
Is finished.
There is no day when there Is not
some interesting topic for consideration
by men of affairs, whether 1t be their
own work, the state of the Nation or
conditions in the city.
This good habit aids digestion and
helps clarity the mind and makes 1t
possible for otherwise rushed mortals
to sit at their case for brief time, at
least, during the rush of the days
work.

The Red Cross Call,

The annual campaign of the American
Red Cross in Washington closes today.
With $4,000 and 10000 members as its
minimum goal for this community, the
local chapter is under the necessity Of
reporting that its quota is still far
short of achievement. Whatever the
reasons for this grave state Of Affairs,
whether they be the combined effect Of
oversolicitation for welfare work -- q
condition happily shortly to be relieved
through the Inauguration of the Com
munity Chest-and the fairly recent
special appeal for the sufferers in
Florida, it is a reproach to the COM
munity which should promptly be
rectified.
Herbert Hoover has perhaps expressed
the true significance of the Red Cross
organization as concisely as may be in
the following words: THE Red Cross
Is the one guarantee to the American
people that in calamity loss Of life shall
be prevented, suffering mitisated, to the
utmost degree These are carefully
chosen phrases, deserving of deep atten-
ton. They point out the solemn obli-

tional Treaty of Geneva, engaged in
the obligation "to continue and carry

time of peace and to apply the same in
mitigating the sufferings caused by
pestilence, famine, fire, floods, and other
great national calamities'

Here follows the most significant
paragraph of DR.. Willcocks' lecture:
"Ararat was the name of the desert
mouno where the Ark rested, and when
the families of the younger sons Of the
patriarch moved off and made new set
Elements they gave the name Of Ararat
to the highest mountain they knew IN
honor of the spot where the Ark rested.
The Armenian Ararat could no more
have been the Ararat where the Ark
rested than New York be York (of
England. My friend, Rev.
prof Savce. has shown me a copy of
the Chaldean map Of Abrahams time
in which the earth lies around Babylon

A year after DR.. Wincocks' lecture
he added this:

Mesopotamia and should like TO add
the following postscript:

proved by the only explanation they

Demands for Reapportionment
Revived With Added Emphasis

Louisiana, but It feels that the Cali
fornia complaint seems to be not en-
tirely without merit
Demanding prompt action, the Phila-
delphia Evening Bulletin says: 1T Is too
late for reapportionment on the basis
of the 1920 census, but 1t Is unnecessary
and undesirable to postpone the settle
ment of the question until the figures
of the 1880 census are available. with
the possibility of a long controversy in
tervening before a decision can be
reached. The formula for Apportion-
ment can be and should be determined
in anticipation OF the census report.
$ 1t Is not likely that the legality
Of congressional enactments under pres
ent apportionment will be upset by the
Supreme Court. but It Is possibility
that should be considered. II Is Of
greater importance that the apportion-
mert should be fully determined before
another presidential election comes
around"
More emphatic is the Kalamazoo
Gazette. with the suggestion that
theoretically. at least. 1t would be pos
sible for some citizen or group OF
citizens to challenge the legality OF
every piece of legislation adopted by
congress Since the year lS1U, WLleH lI1c
last general reapportionment should
have been made" The Walla Walla
Bulletin thinks that 1T is possible that
an election may depend upon the exist
ing status in such manner that the
failure of Congress will be brought to
the fore and action by the States
cheated"
The situation becomes eraver as the
Nations population increases" contends
the South Bend Tribune. which feels
that 1T is doubly unjust because 1t
applies to legislation as we'll as to cleo
toral college representation That
paper records that CLOSE to so cleo
toral votes were out of line this year"
and observes that what may happen
in a close election under this condition
can be readily conceived"
In view of the protest against large
House. the New York Evening Post
quotes from those who believe that
larger House is necessary and offers the
comment: Those who argue that the
House may be materially enlarged with
out loss of efficiency point to the British
House of Commons with its els men,
bers and the French Chamber Of Depu-
ties with 565. But each Of these bodies
is led by a ministry which formulates
the program even to the extent of say
ing what bills shall be introduced"

The World Court Again.

The Senate. nearly three years ago
President Coolidge, adopted a resolu-
ton proposing adherence of the United
States to the Permanent Court Of In
ternational Justice, more popularity
known as the World Court. At the
same time the Senate wrote into the
resolution series of reservations
These reservations have so far proved
a stumbling block to the final entry
Of this country into the tribunal. The
great powers. members Of the court.
have baked particularly at the fifth
reservation. which limits in measure
the right Of the court to give advisory
opinions to the League of Nations.
President Coolidge has let it be
known that he intends to seek through
diplomatic channels to remove the OPP
position Of the member nations Of the
World Court so that the United States
may take its place in that tribunal.
BY those who believe in the instrument
tality of the World Court and hold it
useful agent of world peace his pro-
posed action will be commended heart
lily. To those who opposed the entry
of the United States into the court
on the ground that the court is in
reality an agency of the League of
Nations, the Presidents renewed efforts
to make this country a member Of the
court will not appeal. At present, how
ever. It must be admitted the situation
of this country with regard to the
World Court is not satisfactory Either
the United States should become a
member or its proposal of entry should
be withdrawn. It does not comport
either with the dignity Of the country
or with common sense that the pro-
posal of entry should be left kicking
around for years without definite ac-
ton.
The reservation of the Senate to
which it is reported twenty-three OF
the member nations have objected is
as follows:
"That the court shall not render any
advisory opinion except publicly after
due notice to all the states adhering to
the court and to all interested states
and after public hearings or opportu-
nifty for hearings given to any state
concerned; nor shall It. without the
consent of the United States, entertain
any request for an advisory opinion
touching any dispute or question in
which the United States has or claims
to have an interest"
In. some quarters 1t has been held
that this reservation limits the useful
ness Of the World Court to the League
Of Nations Council. since the court in
a measure was set up as a legal ad-
wiser Of the League.
The United States Government has
persistently sought to lessen the chances
Of war. The rnultilatera! treaty re-
nouncing war, negotiated by Secretary
Kellogg with the other great nations
Of the world, now awaiting ratification,
is hailed as real step in that direc-
ton. It is the hope of the Coolidge
administration that this step toward
world peace may be contaminated be-
fore 1t goes out of Office. 1t is only
natural that the President should wish
to have the entry Of the United States
into the World Court definitely settled
also.

Failure of Whitney
To Pretend Praised

From the Baltimore Evening Sun.
The Payne Whitney estate of Sle4.-
100000 is said to be the largest ever de-
vised by will. Some of Mr.. Whitney's
possessions were $4,000 600 worth of
securities. S3000.000 worth Of real
estate. houseboat worth $4,000. and
private car worth Ss7.500. $4,000
worth of automobiles. S2.200 worth of
guns and $3.50 worth of books
But before you begin to laugh take
one fact into consideration-he did not
buy hand-tooled, morocco-bound sets ov
the foot hoping thereby to deceive the
world into crediting him with literary
taste which he did not possess Payne
Whitney may have been completely in
different to the form of intellectual ac-
tivity which is represented by book
learning but at least he was no intel
lect,al parvenu. He laid no claim to
cultivation which he did not possess;
and surely he was happier man for
refusing to devote time to things which
did not interest him.
