Coolidge Urges Paris
Meeting to Sign Treaty
Feels Conference Would Give Pact
Greater World Prestige-Grat-
flying Responses

Superior, Wis, July 20-Presi-
dent Coolidge believes that an
international conference, possibly
to be held in Paris, for the stimuli
taneous signature by all interested
governments of the anti-war cove
nant now under negotiation would
be very helpful in emphasizing
the Importance of the treaty in the
eyes of the world by giving the
ceremony a suitable setting.
Secretary of State Kellogg has
informed Mr.. Coolidge of sugges-
tons along this line made by var
ious European countries, and while
his department has the matter und-
er consideration, no final decision
as to its acceptance or rejection
has been reached.
President Coolidge, however, is
inclined to think that in view of the
great Importance which the ; pact
has assumed and the cordiality
with which Secretary Kellogg's
latest proposed draft of it has
been received by the greatest pow
ers, a solemn ceremony at its con-
clusion would greatly enhance its
prestige besides actually facilitat-
ing the process of affixing the nee
essary signatures.
President Coolidge would not be
opposed to such a conference tax
ing place in Paris or in any other
| European capital sooner than in
Washington, inasmuch as he realiz-
es that the American city is much
/ further from the capitals of most
of the signatory powers than any
, European center would be. For
this reason, Washington has never
been suggested as the seat of such
a gathering.
President Coolidge has been
kept informed of the gratifying
manner in which acceptances of
the American draft of the treaty
have been reaching the state de-
partment from the chief countries
involved and from many of the
smaller ones as well.
The draft proposal, which was
sent by Secretary Kellogg to IA #
the chief European and Asiat {
powers, would bind the signato.y
countries to a remuneration of wal
Gas an instrument of national poi.
'ity," and would hold them to .
pacific settlement of all future
differences between them.

On Molding Character

Now, 1t is better than nothing
for a bad man to have one virtuous
impulse; 1t is better than nothing
for a man in rocky field to find
one place where there Is soil and
where a handful of corn will grow
and wave like the trees of Leba-
non; it is glorious thing for q
man to know that there Is some
thing in the world besides himself,
and that he Is not omnipotent, om-
niscient, or omnipresent; it Is a
good thing for man once In his
life to feel little, and to know HIM
self as he is; but how much bet
ter it would be If he could fix the
vision and turn it into character

Hairy Elephants

Historians tell us that, in prehis-
toric times, mighty mastodons and
mammoths were covered from head
to tail with a very coarse hair
which, in many cases, grew long. So
the elephants forefathers had long
hair, but as the world changed with
regard to weather conditions, from
the bitter frosty glaciers that were
encountered to the modern climate
of extreme heat and cold, the ele.
plant gradually dotted his overcoat.
The hair sometimes seen on the top
of his head alone remains as re-
hinder.

had slipped over her hands.
Pats hair was bright, burning red,

OF freckles across her little pug nose
