ANNIVERSARY
~ oAGE
PROLONG ARMISTICE

JANUARY IL.
I'm Jan. II, 1918, the armistice
" between the Bolshevist gov
eminent and the Central Powers
was extended to Feb. II, having
been scheduled to end Jan. II.
This action was effected at the
Brest-Litovsk conference. Leon
Trotski, head of the Russian delega-
ton, had adjourned conferences for
one day, and returning on Jan. IL,
agreed to the extension Of the arm
istice.
Trotski made a long statement,
waving the demand that the
negotiations be resumed at neutral
city.
Continuing, he said: 1.-The Rus
sian delegation can not deny, and
does not intend to deny, that its
country, owing to the policy of the
classes until recently in power, has
been weakened.
But the world position of a
country is not determined by its
technical apparatus alone, but also
by its inherent possibilities AS, in
deed, Germany's economic strength
should not be judged by her present
conditions and means Of supply"

Engineers Create Wealth

ENGINEERS are more important
~ than bankers, according to DR..
Finn, who denounces as a fallacy
the notion that men who grip the
money bags, the bankers and the
major business executives have
more to do about wealth than any
other men,"
although business men do most
of the handling of money and other
tokens Of wealth and perform nu-
merouS important additional func-
tons having to do with wealth. en-
glneerS perform the basic economic
functions in many enterprises for
the creation or for the use of
wealth." he says.
1.-THE engineers determinations of
location, of size or capacity. of
process or method, of materials for
construction, of raw materials for
manufacture, of equipment, of per-
sonnet; his design, specification, in
spection, supervision, from inception
OF project to marketing of products
or services, underlie all the features
OF the business to which. COL
lectively, the terms, economics,
commonly is applied.
In consequence, great are the
economic influence and responsible
ity of the engineer"

He'll GeneraIize


by and by he will write an article
- for the magazines on divorce
or juvenile delinquency. On the
strength of having sent a few
frightened and snivelling bows tn
the reformatory, many Judge will
undertake to stalk dogmaticalIv
through the complicated mazes Of
child psychology.
And on divorce he'll generaljze
just as quickly. Indeed, not even
the most difficult problems will
stump him, for his remedy is likely
TO be inevitable. It's all because of
lack OF religious education in the
nome or school.
some time ago a judge exclaimed
TO a mature witness who had spoken
rather acidly about her mother "T,11
teach you to respect your parents .
1t may have been tasteless tact
less, or even downright immoral for
the young woman to have indicated
a lack OF respect for her parent, but
IL was just about as much the bust
ness OF the judge as her affiliations
with the Republican party would
have been.
Having had occasion from time
to time to look over a number of
decisions, I was shocked at the pow
erty OF intellect displayed by the
presiding officers in both state and
federal cour,,s.
Something should be done to curb
those gentlemen on the bench who
SO conduct their cases as to earn
clippings for the scrapbooks which
they undoubtedl, keep.
And for judges who make bright
remarks, particularly in sentencing
prisoners, I suggest. the death pen
atty.

Expert Calls on Engineers
to Furnish Leadership for
World; Says They VIII
Usher in Neao Era Of
Prosperity.
A NEW YEAR proclamation call
L n ing upon scientists and engi-
neers to take world leadership and
save humanity from the mess into
which bankers. lawyers. business
men and statesmen have pushed it,
is contained in a statement issued by
DR.. Alfred D. Finn Of the Engineer
ing Foundation.
Engineers, in the opinion of DR..
Finn, are confronted by the great
est opportunity ever presented to a
group Of men.
DR.. Finn wants them to take the
lead in establishing the new eco
nomlc status for all peoples on the
basis of scientifically discovered
laws"
I'VE have too much legislation"
DR.. Finn asserted. Most of it
should be scrapped. We need to
know and to understand laws.
Laws exist in nature, and are
unmutable. Statutes may be flouted
or evaded, but laws can not be
evaded.
1T is the task of research-minded
scientists, engineers, business men
and lawyers to discover more Of ma
lures laws, to state them correctly
IN language which the peoples can
understand and then to spread
abroad the knowledge of the laws as
they are learned, so that the peoples
may live happily in obedience to
laws, not harried by the 'thou-shalt-
nots of legislation"

law for all our judges. Few men STAY
on the bench more than a little
while without losing track of the
nature and purpose of the Job to
which they have been assigned.
At the end of ten years the aver
age judge has become a composite
Sunday school teacher, editorial
writer, and Boy Scout leader. He
begins to become preoccupied with
such matters as whether witnesses
use hpstick. Once a week he has to
hit on some good resounding pre-
cept which will look well in a news
paper headline.

Association and of Hygeia, the
Health Magazine.
MOT long ago medical magazines
IN began recording cases of in
lection of human beings who had
come in contact with wild rabbits.
Usually the person was a market
worker or a cook, who had skinned
wild rabbit preparatory to cook
ing and serving it, and who had de-
veloped a sore on the finger quite
soon thereafter.
Investigations since that time
have revealed that an organism
called the bacterium tularense is
conveyed to the human being by the
bites of infected flies and ticks, and
by incubation through handling in
fected animals, as in skinning,
dressing or doing postmortem ex-
aminations on them.

Smith VS., Hoover
the Jackson day din

NTHILE the Jackson day dinner
w developed into the usual
elephant roast" with a plentiful
amount of gloomy retrospection for
the Republicans, and an equally
plentiful amount of optimistic pre-
dictions for the Democrats, former
Governor Smith was the only
speaker who offered anything like
definite or constructive suggestions.
With the usual Smith candor, he
came out for big federal bond is
sue to provide work, start the wheels
Of industry moving, and restore con-
hdence.
In this respect, he is Numerically
opposed to Mr.. Hoover. who is all
for retrenchment and economy, and
who has declared that Eve can not
squander ourselves into prosperity. .
No more We can, but neither can
we pinch ourselves into it by re-
ducing salaries and adding to I'M
employment through the discharge
of public employees.
President Hoover is advising the
government to do the very thing
which he called upon industry not
to do one year ago, but which in
dustry found itself compelled to do,
in spite Of his advice, because it
lacked the necessary credit.

There's Atrophy Somewhere

NTHEN the sense of humor is
w very strongly developed some
thing else must be atrophied. Peo-
pie who laugh great deal are not
truly quick, but unimaginative. No
man who uses his eyes to observe
all the things which lie within his
range of vision can possibly avoid
the conclusion, What is there to
laugh at?"
Instead Of a national laugh week
there ought to be an annual period
set aside to be known as Keep Off
That-Silly- Grin Month"
OF course, this is too sweeping. I
should and probably viii come back
to note exceptions. Obviously, the
sort of wit which bites your hand

Too Much Laughter

TTUMOR is grit in the evolution
II airy process. "Does it matter?"
is the underlying mood in almost
every expression of humor. And, of
course, it does matter.
ooh, he takes himself too serious
ly," is the standardized reproach
set up to tangle the feet of all
marching men.
The hearts breath, which is
needed to keep on going when the
taste of blood is in the mouth, easily
can be dissipated in a laugh. OF
course, there are situations in which
humor eases tension. People can
and do forget their troubles when
the clowns perform. But I can't see
that this is signal service.
Troubles are not solved by the
simple process of forgetting them.
I've never seen one laid except by
those who had the nerve to keep on
boring in and swinging, and the
man said to be worth while who
can smile when everything goes
dead wrong is gutter just about
ready to heave in sponge and
make a jest of all his tribulationS.
1t is possible to name one or two
great ones of the world who en-
ployed humor, but I think it may
still be maintained that they used
it without actually having it.
Lincoln told stories to political
audiences and even to the members
of his cabinet, but think it would
be excessive to think of him as
humorous man, and certainly most
of the fun of Mark Twain was
wholly alien to his underlying spirit.

Is a person born in the United
States of Italian parents a citizen
of the United States or of Italy?
That person is a citizen of both
the United States and Italy. He is
a citizen of Italy by right of blood,
and a citizen of the United States
by right of place of birth. AS the
existing law of Italy adheres to the
doctrine of inalienable allegiance.
his Italian nationality is inalienable
and attaches to him throughout his
life. He will. however. be recognized
as an American citizen in the
United States and all foreign coun-
tries except Italy.

SPEEDS OF 5000 STARS
 CATALOGUED BY SCIENTISTS

BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 19, (P) Years of work in the measuring of the velocity of stars have been tabulated in catalogue compiled by Astronomer J. H. Wright of Lick Observatory and published by the University of California. In the task he was assisted by Mrs. Wright.
 Counting the components of vis- ual stars as two stars, there are 6,739 listed with their velocities, ascertained by observatories through out the world and checked either at Lick or elsewhere.
 The highest speed of heavenly bodies is attributed to some of the giant. nebulae which are believed to be distant universe. One of these is declared to be seemingly travelling at speed of some 43.- 970,000 miles per hour.

DIFFICULTIES SEEN

UNDATED, Dec. 22, (P)-Diffi- culties in obtaining united action for an attack on war debts, dis arament, and economic problems, are seen as result of Hoover's s resume and exchange of views with Roosevelt. The belief is held here in informal circles that a further discussion is now in progress with some definite developments to be expected before the end of the week
 It is further believed that Presi- dent Hoover desires to launch a program to deal with European nations which will continue into the next administration.
 In Paris, a ministerial declara- tlon prepared by the new cabinet says the Boncour governmen will bend every effort toward a general settlement of the war debt problem.
