Lemon for Old u, S,

RY some caprice OF inscrutable
ID fate, human affairs appear so
to have arranged themselves that
no situation can arise in this world
without lemon for the old U. S. A.
Europe gets ready to readjust the
reparations muddle, well knowing
that nothing of Importance will be
done, unless we agree to cut the war
debts some more.
During the last ten years we have
bought bonds and made loans to
help other countries get back on
their feet, but only to find our in
veStments shrinking at a terrific
rate.
Now that the controversy between
the League of Nations and Japan
gets around to the question of a
boycott, we suddenly discover that
a boycott couldn't amount to much,
unless we held the bag.

Lemon for the U. S. A.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-According
Y to press reports, the League
Of Nations is considering whether to
expel Japan, order boycott, or try
both.
AS William Philip Simms points
out, a boycott certainly would con-
front our own government with
pretty problem.
IF we refused to join the boycott,
we would be at outs with the
League of Nations, and that, too,
over an issue which we helped to
raise.
On the other hand, if we did our
full share of the boycotting, we
would carry a bigger load than any
other country, because we are
Japan'S best customer.

Worked in Shops

WTHEN DR.. Stratton was a stu
w dent at the University of
Illinois, one of his classmates and
close chums was Frank A. Wander
lip, the banker. Stratton earned
his way through college by work
ing in machine shops. Both these
facts had much to do with his later
career.
The machine shops impressed
upon Stratton the connection be-
tween the progress of science and
accurate machinery. He realized
that the scientific experimental
could carry accuracy no further
than his instruments and machines
would permit.
Vanderlip later became assistant
secretary of the United States
treasury, holding that position from
1897 to 1901. The treasury depart
ment then had charge of the work
of standardizing weights and meas
ureS for the nation.
Vanderlip called in Stratton.
Stratton proposed the organization
VI bIlG eau Va oOfAAASteAA 10
when congress passed the act co
ating it, Stratton was made its first
director.
At the bureau of standards is
kept the standard weights and
measures for the nation. But as a
result of DR.. STATIONS vision, the
bureau also became a great research
institution in the field Of physics
and engineering.
Tests carried on at the bureau
range all the way from experiments
to verify some phase OF the Elm
stein theory to trials to find out how
well certain styles of steel safes will
Withstand fires.
DR.. Stratton built up brilliant
staff at the bureau of standards.
Its members include some Of the
best known research men in the
United States.

Program Needed in Congress-

That the new political lineup in congress places
huge responsibility on the Democratic party goes
without saying The way in which the responsibility
Is met well may play large part in determining the
issue Of the next presidential election
one thing seems obvious. There is an imperative
need Tor logical definite program on the party
which now holds majority in the house of repre-
sentativeS policy of drifting and of sniping at ad-
ministraon measures simply for the sake of raising
row will not do the country any good-nor in case
it interests any one, is it apt to do the party that
adopts it any good
The coming session promises to be one of the
most interesting in many years The nation will wait
eagerly to what the Democrats will do with their
newly-found power.

polo at the time. Ken calls to say
'Goodby' to Lora, and they find
themselves in each others arms &.
How will Boothby use these photo
graphs of Lora? Don't miss any in
Stallment of this amazing story"
racked my brain over the nasty
situation in which Lora MaSefield
found herself. And for that matter
her married sister, Lillian, was not
precisely what you might call sit
ting pretty" Kenneth Farnum him
self probably felt disgruntled over
Loras intention to marry a polo
played, and Bert was in Arizona.
Here, then, were four major
characters unhappy and in difficult
ties. Suddenly inspiration came to
me, and I could see a way out for
every one.
Wally Heddon, the society mil
lionaire, discovered Thornton
Boothby's evil plot to have Lora
pose in the nude for some of his
advertising" He cabled that, instead
of having Lora make this sacrifice,
he will pose in the nude and name
any cigaret which Mr.. Boothby
chooses.
Boothby decides that polo play
er in the nude would be a far more
striking innovation than a young
girl. But his avarice is aroused by
the millionaire's offer, and he goes
to Lora's married sister, Lillian, and
suggests that she pose in the nude
for Grigidaire.
He also stipulates that her hus-
band in Arizona shall pose unclad
and write a letter stating that be-
fore he took two bottles of the tonic
he felt tired in the morning.
Moreover, Boothby announces
that he himself will pose in the
nude under a clipping from the New
York Times recommending Harold
Bell Wright's latest book. The man
has gone a little mad. This be-
comes evident to both sisters when
he suggests that Rex, the pet collie
of the household, must be shaved
before he can appear in the dog
biscuit ad.

Science Mourns Passing of
Bureau Of Standards
Founder, Benefactor o f
Humdnity-Dr. Samuel ".
StrGttOn.
TINE bureau Of standards in
Il Washington, great center of
research in physics and engineer
ing, is a monument to DR.. Samuel
Wesley Stratton, its creator and its
first director.
Or. Stratton died on Oct. Is at the
age of 70. There was something
dramatic in the fact that his death
came just after he had dedicated a
tribute to the memory of Thomas A.
Edison, who death had occurred a
few hours before.
DR.. Stratton wrote of Edison, 1T
seldom has fallen to the lot of any
one man to be of such service to
humanity. The world mournS that
great benefactor.
DR.. STATIONS name was not as
we'll known to the public a. that of
Edison. But he also was OF service
to humanity and in his death the
world also must mourn the passing
of great benefactor.
He was a great scientist. a great
educator, a great organizer. and
great administrator.
He was born in Litchfield, Ill.
on July Is, 1861. He was graduated
from the University of Illinois in
1884, joining the faculty of that in
stitution and rising to the post of
professor of physics.
In 1892 he left that post to join
the University of Chicago. There
he became professor of physics,
holding that post until 1901.

Wage War on War

A T present, there is little hope
n of avoiding war for any great
length of time. The best we can
do is wage war to prevent war.
Nor is that as paradoxical as it
sounds. Up to certain point, force
is required to stop force.
We realize this in the government
of a village, or town, where thievery
would run riot and violence take
possession, but for constables and
deputy sheriffS, but we seem to have
fallen for the silly illusionment that
strife among nations can be pre-
vented with fine words, and that no
one need suffer much in solving the
problem, provided we all talk right.

Can't Last Forever

WE can not continue to play
w both ends against the middle.
Sooner or later, we shall be COM
PEELED to line up squarely on one
side or the other.
The peace movement, whether as
Illustrated by the League of Ma
tionS, the world court, or Kellogg
pact, is no child's play.
If successful, it means sacrifice
and probably bloodshed.
There are elements in humanity,
and strong elements, too, that will
not give up the privilege of MAX
ing war at will, without a struggle,
or without being convinced that the
rest of the world can and will
punish them if they disobey the
rules.

Let's Get In

IF we are committed honestly to
Il peace through the reign of law,
we might as we'll climb aboard the
bandwagon. If not, we should so
declare, openly and honestly, refus-
ing to listen in, or offer advice.
1 believe that we should join the
peace movement, that it represents
progress in the largest sense, and
that we Should play our full part in
it, regardless of cost.

cd Of cooperation through "unof-

us Of an honest say-so, while it

Bathing Beauty Contest. This en-
titles her to a small silver cup and
the privilege of calling herself Miss
Florida, Jr.''
On the afternoon of the award
she gets long letter from Teddy,
also a newcomer in the novel He
has spent two years as a missionary
with savage tribe in the Philip
pine Islands. In order to win the
confidence of the natives he has
adopted their habits and customs,
which are deplorable.
Civilization has touched the tribe
but dimly. They are not nudists.
But the males of the island wear
only trousers and a shirt, and they
refuse to tuck in the shirt. Teddy
finds that he can no longer stand
the strain of primitive life, and he
purposes returning to West Palm
Beach, where he again can tuck in
his shirt and incidentally marry
Edna.
The inevitable result is a triple
wedding. Thornton Boothby's mind
has now cleared, and before the
ceremony he announces that as a
wedding present to his wife, Lillian.
he will tear up his written demand
that she pose nude for advertising.
He also agrees that Lora need not
pose, or Wally Heddon, the million
aire polo player who is shooting
grouse in England He is not even
going to pose himself. EVERYBODY
congratulates Boothby upon his
change of heart.
And he says, with whimsical
smile, as he pats Rex, MY present
feeling is that no nudes is good
nudes"
Only one incident mars the han
piness of all concerned. Just as the
party breaks up telegram arrives
announcing that Kenneth Farnun.
"a builder who wants to marry
Lora," has been arrested at Long
Beach for wearing a one-piece
bathing suit.

DiShonOr or DiShonor

THINGS are in turmoil. Booth
Il by announces that he will call
at 3 o'clock on the following after
noon and that the married sister,
Lillian, must give him her decision
then. He arrives ten minutes late,
which gives Lillian a chance to pace
up and down the parlor and solilo-
quize as to whether she shall pose
or kill herself.
At the end of 900 words Boothby
enters the room. He and Lillian
are alone, and somehow they find
themselves in each others ARM
At this point messenger boy
enters with a telegram for Lillian.
1t is from her husband in Arizona.
Bert announces he never felt tired
and did not go away for his health
but to get a divorce. 1t is his in
tention, he states, to marry Lillian's
sister, Lora.
This leaves Boothby free to
marry Lillian, and Wally Heddon
decided to stay in England and go
