It Seems
to Me
: BY HAYWOOD BRoUN :

NEW YORK. June Isl think
Y the London conference has a
chance. because even its friends
hold out for it so little hope.
A completely skeptical and cynical
attitude would be tragic as an end
result. but it is not necessarily a
bad way to begin. The greatest fail
ures have been scored at those very
meetings where optimism came in
like lion and left with a bleat.
Particularly there is danger from
the very statesmen who profess too
great an eagerneSs for cooperation.
All too often has the world tripped
over the tin haloes of men who.
proved TO be meSSianic merely in
preambleS.

the presence in the blood of va
rious ingredients, including sugar
protein, and similar materials, may
be of greatest Importance.
Finally, it is possible to take, I'M
der sterile precaution, a specimen
of the blood and submit it to treat
ment with culture mediums in in
cubators, to determine whether any
bacteria are circulating in the blood.
BY all these Investigations the
physician is able to determine the
nature of the blood and, from that
nature, some understanding of its
relationship to various diseases.
Certainly the blood is the most
important element in the human
body, since it gives by its circulation
nutrition to all tissues and serves at
the same time to collect waste ma
terials and poisons and to eliminate
them from the body.
Moreover, the white blood cells
attack and destroy bacteria and
thus aid to keep the body in health.

Questions and Answers

@. Can a workman put lien
on a mans real estate for So or
So?
A. Yes, but attorneys fees and
court costs would be far more
than the amount of such bill.
Q-What is the purpose of the
title bow on the sweat band in a
mans hat?
A--Hats used to be made in only
a few sizes, and were fitted inside
with a lining on a drawstring so
that they could be frightened or
1ooSened to fit the head. The bow
inside is a relic of the old draw
string.
Off man has lived in this
country since childhood, and his
father has become an American
citizen, does that automatically
make him a citizen or must he be
naturaliZed?
L 44C AdCG G1lctU a DSISO lids
had long continued residence in
the country does not automatical-
ly make him a citizen. However, if
the father becomes an American
citizen before the child has at
tanned the age Of 81, the child is
an American citizen by reason Of
the naturalization of the father,
and does not have to take out
citizenship papers when he be-
comes of age.
Q-When did the United States
government first issue Green
backs?"
A-The first issue of green
backs" or United States notes, was
authorized by an act Of Feb. 25,
1862. Earlier demand notes" had
been issued under authority of the
acts of July II, and Aug. 5, 1861.

sixty-seventh congress.

Self Preservation

1T might be we'll to realize at the
l. very outset that the nations of
the world are met together not out
of any idealiStic urge, but to COM
bat the common danger of chaos
and dissolution.
1t is easy to enumerate the OBJ
Stacles which stand in the way of
success. In fact. they are so boun-
tiful that the blame for failure
readily can go all the way around
the table.
Our own habit of protesting a
complete unselfshnesS in these af-
fairs never has helped very much.
Let us admit at the outset that we,
too, belong to the universal frater-
nifty of publicans and sinners.
Once the council table has been
piled high with beams and notes,
there should be a chance to get
something done. When the clock
strikes II everybody should be asked
to unmaSk and give his right name
and telephone number.
If the rule is to apply even to
distant commentators as we'll as
participants. I must admit that my
own cynicism is hardly as deep as
well or as wide as a grave I
think that the moment mankind
ceases to pretend to virtues which
it does not possess, it often shows
not ungraciouS cOuntenance.
am unwilling to accept the fact
that the international relations Of
the world always must resemble a
tale told by an idiot That has
been the way, but there is a diff
ference between repetition and
aterpitv

Trying to convert every little
Johnny into a prodigy is one thing
now wrong with American educa-
ton. Cramming his head full Of
stuff" filling his brain with book
learning, and teaching him less than
nothing about life.
Educating him so hard that he
never will learn to use his hands.
And, what's infinitely worse, so that
he will feel it is ignoble to labor at
the simple necessary tasks.
One never really learns anything
out of a book. All that sort Of

own minds, however feebly.

FOHies of the ShreWd

T HAVE ventured the opinion that
J. some world leaders hurt the
cause of cooperation by an undue
willingness to classify themselves
among the saintlike. But much dam
age has also been done at the other
end of the table by those who
fancied themselves as horse traders.
The Versailles treaty, for instance,
was a case in point. Wilson aimed
too high and Clemenceau too low,
so the result was hodge podge of
unrealized vision and downright de-
pravity.
And, in the light of later historic
al observation, think it may be
recorded that Clenenceau was
nothing like as smart as he be-
lieved himself to be. The critics
and the commentators gave him the
blue ribbon for astuteness. But the
plain truth is that he outsmarted
himself.
He made a bargain for France
which has turned out to be too good
for either peace or comfort. 1t was
the notion that as soon as the doc
uments were signed. France was
forever to be free Of nightmare
fears. 1t has not been so.
France remained an armed camp.
Clemenceau's tonic most distinctly
did not cure his country Of that prev
alent ailment known as the ma
tional filters. I hope and pray that
at this conference nobody will try
to be quite so clever.
Let all concerned in the confer
ence study history before they set
out to make it. The triumphs of
diplomacy have been, in most in
stances, no better than basketful
of singing adders.
There is a disposition to say that
if the present conference fails there
is no hope for the world That
seems to me too dogmatic an at
titude To be sure, rUmbling noises
can distinctly be heard under the
crust Of civilization. Time is pre-
cious, and yet even If the present
conference takes so much as one
single step toward international
sanity, that will be triumph.
1t is foolish, I think, to assume
that all the pressing problems of
the world will be solved at this one
meeting. I think it equally foolish
to assume that even by the happiest
chance not one gain can be scored.
The very fact of debate is ever sa
much better than nothing at all.

CHURCH GROWTH

MEMBERSHIP in churches and religious
Iva bodies in the United States grew over
a million in 1882. the Christian Herald re-
ports basing its report on figures accumu-
lated by church statisticians.
The million gain. the church publication
says, is four times the gain in 1881.
The total church membership in the
country now is put at 60 1886 900, or AZ per
cent of the nations population.
The writer of the Christian Herald article
quotes Albert Payson Terhune in explaining
the reported return of thousands to the
church. Terhune said: The Nineteen-twen-
ties are dead. The day Of debunking is over.

IF you run across a resident of Penn Yam,

vince him that municipal power plants are
either impractical or bad policy.
For the Penn Yanner is apt to have in his
pocket a receipted electric light bill for the
month of May that didn't cost him a cent. His
city power plant made him present of a
months service free and sent his receipted bill
along-for a souvenir.
All the head-shaking and viewing with
alarm in the world can't talk away such tan
gible pocketbook evidence that public operation
of a utility service has advantages never
possessed by private, profit making service
And one town after another is learning this.
