The New Diplomacy

The President and the premier have done more
than break ground for better Anglo-American rela-
tions They are working out new method in diplo-
macy-snd, strangely enough, in secret diplomacy
When man had time to understand what the late
war was all about, they came to blame secret diplo
macy for much of the trouble.
Therefore Wilson voicing general discovery
and popular faith when he called for new diplo-
macy, functioning through open covenants, openly
arrived at.
That sounded right enough. But it didn't work out
we'll Even the apostles of full publicity had to admit
after awhile that the center of stage not the best
place in the world for frank exchange of conflict
ing views
The difficulty is obvious When the public is in sane
mood open diplomacy forces the diplomats to con-
form to high standard of international ethics But
when the public is in belligerent and suspicious
mood open diplomacy forces the diplomats to assume
beigerent and nationalistic attitude which is the
death of international agreement At such times it is
only human for the diplomat to play the gallery at
home
The statesman has the double problem of reaching
international agreement and at the same time
carrying his own public along with him. Sometimes
the latter is the difficult task And at such times
open diplomacy retard rather than advance peace
That Is precisely what happened at the Inflated
Geneva naval conference called by Coolidge. Neither
in Britain in America public opinion on the
bcame vicious circle in which belligerent open di

GEAR BANS ALCOHOL
Oct, Is

ON Oct. Is, 1914, the car of Rus
~ STA prohibited forever the sale
of spirituous liquors-chief1y vodka.
Three months before, all wine,
beer and vodka shops had been
closed as a temporary measure, in
view of the order for mobilization
of land and sea forces of the en-
pire.
But. the people made us Of the
occasion, and demanded the prohi-
bition of the sale of alcohol for
the whole duration Of the war, and,
if possible, forever.
Early in September, 1914, the
council of ministers announced that
his imperial majesty had decided
to prohibit forever the sale Of spir-
ituous liquors. These orders, how
ever, did not apply to malt liquor
and wines.
Local governing bodies were al
lowed to petition for a complete pro-
hibition of the sale of all alcoholic
beverages within the limits Of their
Jurisdiction.
Petrograd restricted the sale OF
wine to forty mine first-class hotels
and restaurants and only permitted
liquor to be sold with meals. The
city Of Moscow adopted complete
prohibition of all intoxicants.

More Chance

INDEED it is much easier to be
L subtle in talking picture than
in a spoken play. The drama al
ways has seen a vehicle most cramp-
ing to hnesSe.
Geniuses, of course, we're able to
overcome the physical limitations OF
the theater, but it has ruined many
pretty talent by imposing its
necessities of repetition and over
emphasis.
Background and environment are
almost impossible to achieve upon
the stage. Life necessarily is pic
tured as a series Of clashes between
E. restricted number of individuals.
You may have Caesar, but not his
Iegions. Indeed Shakespeare him
self was forced to present the asSas-
sination of the emperor as if it were
a pretty private quarrel.
No dramatist ever has been able
to approach the novelist either in
sweep of effect or in detail. Even
in the treatment of the individual,
the playwright has been forced to
stop at the outer surface of the fore
head.
Eugene O'Neill has tried desper-

Starving in China

WHILE we enjoy our own pros
w perity, and rightly so, mil
lions of people actually are starving
to death on the other side Of the
world.
According to recent report, the
scarcity of food has become SO pro-
nounced that houses actually are
being snapped for bushels of grain,
while some Of the bread lines are
so long that it takes them two days
to pass a relief station.
Evidently we have long way to
go before the world is made safe
for life, much less democracy.
Still, we are making progress. We
know when other people are in
trouble, even if we are not in a
position to do much about it.
Seventy-five, or even fifty years
ago, the famine in China would
have been over before We heard
about it.
Some day, perhaps, We will learn
how to distribute relief as quickly
as we now get information.

Suddenly Virtuous

MEANWHILE, the virtuous side
1V1 of New York'S administrative
picture is revealed by Park Com
missioner Herrick's announcement
that he will cancel the Casino lease
instantly if he hears of it selling a
single drink.
This Casino, modelled after the
most swanky of European restau-
rants and occupying a delightful
corner of Central park, pays the city
a rental of $4,000 a year, though its
gross revenue is said to exceed two
millions, while its hat and shine"
concessions bring in more than the
rent.
Sad as it may be to realize that
the city administration is not per-
turbed over such an obviously bad
business deal, it is delightful to
learn that the lease will be cancelled
if a single drink" is reported.
u
AS though the COW and the Casino
were not enough to prove the queer
contrasts of life, Mr.. La Guardia,
Republican candidate for mayor,
wants to know why the same loaf
of bread that can be bought for 10
cents in Philadelphia costs II in
New York.
Interesting as that question may
be, the average inhabitant of north
ern China can ask a harder one.
What the average inhabitant of
northern China would like to know
is why he can't get any kind of a
loaf of bread at any price.

SCIENCE
By DAVID DIETZ'

The Carnegie Institution
Seeks to Rebuild the Cities
of the Lost Magyar CiUiliza-
ton on Their Original
Sites.
A NCIENT temples at which the
4 n Maya Indians worshiped CEN
turtles ago, are once more lifting
their heads to the skies in all their
original glory. Their rebirth is the
result of the policy followed by the
Carnegie institution of Washington
in its archaeological Investigations in
Central America.
Lord Elgin carried away the treas
ures Of the Parthenon to enrich the
British museum. Napoleon made
the collection of art objects for the
Louvre a part of his military cam
paigns.
But the Carnegie institution has
adopted a radically new policy. 1t
seeks to rebuild the cities of lost
civilization upon their original sites.
Five years ago, a visitor to the
site OF Chichen liza, Yucatan, once
the chief city of the so-called new
empire" Of the Maya Indians, would
have noticed a great tree covered
mound rising about fifty feet above
a heavily wooded plain
To-day upon that same site stands
the Temple Of the Warriors, the
most deliberately decorated building
of the great city which once -four
ished at Chichan TIA
The, psychologists of the Carnegie
institution attacked the great
mound, removed the trees and I'M
derbrush growing upon it, cleared
away the dirt and debris and I'M
covered the ruins of the ancient
temple
Then, instead Of Selling carved
stones and ornaments to carry away
to some museum, they began the
task Of rebuilding the ancient tenn
pie on its own site.

Studies of Crime

Just how soon the prison population will
begin to dwindle after the crime investl-
gators named by Governor Leslie get busy is
largely problematical.
Some day there will be a scientific inquiry
designed not to discover the faults of the
machinery for punishment and REFORM but
to disclose the causes that turn normal and
peaceful individuals into criminals When
the causes of crime are known, crime can be
cured.
Fortunately or otherwise, there are two
cases which might we'll be Immediately put to
laboratory tests by the Investigators They
contain factors that may give hint as to the
cause Of the breakdown of the law.
The first case is that of the sudden death
of citizen in the Calumet. It is quite likely
to be officially determined that he chased and
caught up with the bullet that caused his
death. In another case it would be murder.
This citizen had himself been law vio-
lator. He had been bootlegger and knew
the little tricks by which those in this IN
dustrv escape the rigors of the law. He knew
his way around.

to the federal grand jury in the northern
part of the state 1t is intimated that he
gave such information concerning the alco-
holic floods of the Calumet, whose wetness
dates back to 1926.
His death followed with such promptness
that the superstitious might think it

oJo IF oil
witness walked in the path of bullet fired
by a negro who had reason to fear the law.
And with the death of this witness the
politicians who do such funny things with
voting returns feel safer.
When the Governors Investigators dis
cover why it is unsafe to give testimony in
1.-The federal courts against criminals who are
friends of politicians and very safe to kill
such a witness, they will have part of the
answer.
Turning from the Calumet, they might
scrutinize the case of Petty, until yesterday
deputy sheriff and for long time one OF
the ward leaders of Cofinism. Petty is under
sentence to the penal farm for driving an
automobile while drunk. 1t took two trials
to get that result.
The evidence was significant When the
citizen whose car was wrecked sought re-
dress, he was told, so it was asserted on the
witness stand, that he was lucky to be out
of Jail himself for getting in the way Of the
bibulous officer.
Witnesses said that they were threatened
with the loss of jobs in the schools unless
they protected this Coffin chairman. There
were open assertions that every influence of
Cofinism was being used to protect the
officer who. says jury, was himself drunk
while charged with the responsibility of pro-
tecting the public from other drunken
drivers.
The people may not need an official in
uuiry to get the answer. They are fast learn
ing that there is a close connection between
crime and machine government. Machine
politics needs the power to twist the laws and
defy them. 1t needs the power to protect its
tools 1t mocks law by protecting the law
less.
In this city long step toward prevent
ing crime can be taken by destroying that
thing in government called Cofinism.

HEALTH SERVICE---
Use Cold Cream to Avert Chapping

Manufacturers of cosmetics have
prepared all sorts of creams to be
smeared on the face to prevent
chapping, such as occurs during
motoring or during exposure on the
football bleachers.
Any good cold cream will serve
the purpose Since the cream has
tendency to wear off, it probably
is best to grease the skin once or
twice during the day and before
going to bed at night.
If the chapping is very severe and
painful, it probably is wise for
women to wear gloves invariably
and to wear a light veil to break
the force Of the wind and to hold in
the moisture.

ately to break through this wall and
bring drama into those inner areas
where it actually belongs. But he
has been obliged to use devices so
heavy and clumsy that they fell OF
their own weight.
In fact, the drama has been me-
dunn in which the creative artists
have been compelled to deal with
emotion without once penetrating
the seat of emotion. The soliloquy
is not only clumsy, but misleading
in expounding mental processes.
The screen author who suddenly
can insinuate some image before the
eyes of his audience and withdraw
it as quickly has the dramatist at a
great disadvantage.

THE winter season soon will be

blasts of fall roughen the hands

Chapping does not usually occur
in warm weather, because the skin
secretes sufficient oily materials
from the perspiration to keep the
skin well CREASED and oiled.
When skin gets dry, it chaps.

Obviously, the method of prevent
ing chapping of the skin is to keep
the skin protected by suitable oils,
to wash the skin only with nom
irritating substances, and to dry
the skin thoroughly after washing.
The only way to escape the dry air
and wind is to wear gloves on the
hands and to keep the skin pro-
tected by other methods.
Women usually accomplish this
by liberal use of creams and pow
ders. Men usually are not so much
troubled, because they have tough

NJ. E. Tracy
SAYS:

If the Movie Can Be Used to
Dramatic Trash, Why
Can't It Be Used to Dram
atize Knowledge?
KXTILLIAM Fox is not content
w with the talkie as a plaything.
He thinks it could be used to good
advantage in our churches and
schools.
Not only that, but he is willing to
back the proposition with his ex-
perience and money.
The amazing part of 1t Is that
educators should have waited for
a theater man to advance such a
idea.
One can not review what has oc-
Cured during the last twenty-five
years without establishment at the
backwardness of education in this
respect.
Though billions have been spent
in construction of new buildings and
for installation of new equipment,
comparatively little has been done
to promote the new and improved
media of communication.
Il
If the movie can be used to
dramatic knowledge, and if the
radio can carry jazz, why not in
formation?
We have seen the theater popular
izded by what some are pleased TO
call canned entertainment"
What reason is there to suppose
that canned instruction" might not
do equally well for the school?

Imagination. Censorship regula-

the medium itself. There is no rea-

Ignorance Reigns

IN spite of Systematized publicity
l. the radio, movies and other mod
ern means of communication, one
half the world still remains sur
prisingly ignorant of how the other
half lives.
Comes farmers wife from Ohio
to milk cow for the edif1cation of
New Workers. The performance is
sufficiently novel to gather a large
crowd on Park avenue, and the
greatest difficulty in startine It is
to find a COW for her to mil.
New York drinks more milk than
it ever did, but knows less about
COWS.
BY the same token, it drinks less
hooch, but knows more about speak"
easieS and night clubs.
A report just issued by the Com
mittee of Fourteen, organized some
twenty-four years ago to. suppress
commercialized prostitution, says
tina speakeasies and night clubs are
responsible for the bulk of the traf-
f1c, with Harlem as the chief center.
Celebrating this contention, the
report declares that the night club
and speakeasy are aided by Ger
tain type of employment agency,
together with which a traffic in
"hostesses" is conducted regularly.
Something more for Tammany to
worry about just before election.

THE Temple of the Warriors
- rests upon a pyramidal founda-
ton thirty-seven feet high and 1876
feet square at the base. The pyra-
mid is faced with dressed stone.

races, the vertical wall of each ter
race being decorated with a richly
carved frieze of eagles, jaguarS,
warriors, and an animal of unknown
oroigin, which the Psychologists re-
fer to as "the woody"
The temple, which stands upon
the pyramid, is approached with a
steep stairway. thirty-four feet wide,
containing thirty-siX stone steps.
Two massive stone columns, dec
grated with feathered serpents,
guard the entrance to the temple.
The Serpents are carved so that
their heads rest upon the ground,
while the tufted tail-rattIes rise fiji
teen feet above the ground.
In front Of this doorway is a full
size reclining human figure carved
from limestone. This type Of figure,
common in Maya sculpture, is a
minor god known as a Chac Mool.
The figure always is reclining on
back and elbows. with knees drawn
up and arms close to the sides. The
abdomen always is fiat or depressed,
presumably to serve as an altar for
incense and other offerings.
Stone by stone the Carnegie arch
biologists are repairing the exterior
and interior of the temple, fitting
the carved blocks back into posi-
ton, much as one might piece to-
gether jog-saW puzzle.

No, it is a fabulous animal repre-
sented as having a single long horn,
commonly described as a native OF
India. 1t is supposed that one Of
the several large antelopes may have
furnished the basis for tales Of the
unicorn since the long straight or
recurved horns viewed in profile
would appear single. In healdry the
representation of the fabulous ami
NAL is used as a bearing. 1t is de-
lineated as horse, but with the tail
of a lion and a long straight horn
growing out of the forehead between
the ears, often hoofs are represented
as cloven.
