supine Surrender

The reason the 1888 confer
ence is about to break up With
out agreement is not because
Europe's demands for American
disarmament have not been
met. To these demands our
Department of State has OF :
fered to make the most secret
and supine surrender in Amer
ican history.
When the details of this offer
finally reach the United States
Senate, they will precipitete an
explosion of Indignation that
will be heard wherever our flag
flies.
The real reason the Geneva
Conference has been unable to
agree upon a treaty is to be
found l the refusal of the
United States Senate to sur
render to the Department OF
State the supreme power to
abolish neutrality, enter into
entangling alliances, and JOIN
the League in determining and
Furnishing any nations or group
of nations which may be found
guilty by the League and the
Department of State of being
the so-called "aggressor." :"
This refusal on the part OF
the United States Senate makes
it impossible for Europe to count
upon the assistance Of the
United States in enforcing the
Treaty of Versailles and in
maintaining the territorial
status q'lo established by that
treaty,

A great run, the greatest and
most thrilling in the history OF

Geneva Hypocrisy

Germany wants to rid her
self of the limitations fixed by
the Versailles Treaty on her
ornaments in order that the
Germans may rearm and get
ready for the next war.
Japan has played lone
hand at Geneva and is biding
her time. This will come at
he next naval conference when
she intends to demand naval
parity with the United States
that she may assert and main
tain Japanese mastery of the
Pacific and a free hand in
Asia.
1t is the same old game
which the League powers have
been playing at Geneva. The
only new deap' which appeared
at the conference was the
supine surrender by the United
States when the Department
of State swallowed whole the
Macdonald scheme for reduc-
ton in land ornaments.
The outstanding features OF
the latest League conference.
now trying to stage a respect
able recess at Geneva, are two:
First, the hypocrisy mani
tested by Europe and Asia in
protesting a passion for peace
which proved upon examination
to be only an enthusiasm for
American disarmament without
limitation.
Second, the gullibility Of our
Department of State in sur
rendering to the demands of
Europe and Asia, while encOur-
aging the pacifistS to keep up
the fatuOus pretense that the
whole world yearns for peace
and disarmament and only
awaits Americas cooperation to
usher in the millennium.

When Secretary kellogg sent

was about to adjourn without
an agreement, there came from
the Summer White House 10

sage of which the following Is
a paraphraSe:
"When the Geneva Confer

people the truth about Why 1t

 Sarah Lou was wearing 8 gold en colored frock. Organza, airy as a summer nights dream, fiuffy, lovely, enchanting. All the ad- jectfves that described femininity and allure came drifting through Sues mind. She was aware of the plainless of her sports frock. It was crumpled, too. An egg had left a little y ellow blur. Sarah Lou's slippers were a matching gold, and she had caught up a wrap which deepened the shining ness.
 Much too swanky for our town," Jack told Sarah Lou cheer fully. "We are going to a sand wich shop and you are going to sit on a stool"
 "Oh no! Jack, you're teasing! You can't eat that kind of food. It isn't safe. The hotels are the only place for this hour, don't you think?"

By Alicia Hart

You can't be a dainty miss If you miss many of the steps to' oalh'i ness!
 Some of the things which stamp you aS a well-groomed woman take practically no time at all. once you get into the habit of always being daintily turned out" you won't be at all comfortable unless you feel and look immaculate.
 Shaving under the arms IS prop ably one of the better known steps to daintiness. Yet there are many women who neglect this small chore. It really takes very nrtie oI your time. Once week IS oIten enough for most women.
 Always use deodorants under your arms. You can get deodor- ant stick which can be carried in your purse. Use it often.
 Shoes keep their shape and look neat if you put shoe trees in them. Always take them off as soon as YOU get home from work. Put their shoe trees in them and wipe off the dust and loose dirt before you put them in the closet.
 Air your party slippers in the sun the morning after you have worn them. When they are thor oughly aired, place a small bag of sachet in the toe of each slipper and put them in your shoe bags in the closet.
 Sachet bags Lavender ones are grand) cost very little these days. Keep one in your handkerchief box, several among your house. hold linens and a few here and there in your lingerie drawer. It gives you an immediate sense of daintiness to get into the habit of using sachet bags.

were going to distribute themselves in the car so that they would be comfortable and have as much freedom as possible. MT Johnson could answer that one! He ex- plained that on short trips they had discovered that the best way was to let Mrs Johnson and the baby ride in the back while Claire and Robert took turns to ride in front with Dad. Since their car Is a sedan model there is no fear of the youngsters opening the door and falling out!
 Mrs Johnson asked me what I thought about taking toys along, and said I though that one fav- oyed toy for each child might be a good idea. Children love to have some familiar object to keep them company in new surroundings. We vetoed the idea of picture books, :,
 however, because the vibration of the car would cause too much strain on youthful eyes.
 The family left early this week, and I am hoping to hear, when they get back again, that they had a splendid trip both ways and are feeling all the better for the |change.

 Timmy rode up and down the street on his tricycle.. It was new and the other children stood around with their fingers fin their mouths admiring it.
 i. He never offered anyone a ride. when he saw a group of other children he made 1t a point to ride past. His enjoyment in his new possession consisted In showing off.
 After a week or SO the other children lost interest. Timfny could ride until he was exhausted, but nobody paid any attention.
 one day someone had left a kiddy car on the pavement. Tim my rode at 1t slowly and pushed 1t with his front wheel. He fol- lowed 1t up and pushed 1t off the curb. Billy's older brother saw it and yelled, Hey you, go out and pick that up and bring 1t back"
 Timmy didn't. But then the other boy was only six himself and he knew he couldn't make him.
 Reckless Driving
 Billy came out and got on his kiddy car and rode up and down.
 The next day Billy was on the pavement. He had his back to- ward Timmy riding on noiseless wheels. Timmy had plenty of room but he stopped. Get out of the way"
 Billy turned but stood still. He didn't quite understand. Timmy rode over his foot. Billy cried
 "You'll have to be careful" called Billy's mother. "You'll have to watch out for the children"
 Here was a new kind of atter1- tion. He could cause not only envy but fear. Ho! They were afraid of him.
 In the week that followed he quietly went about this "thrill'' business. He didn't talk. He didn't answer back. He was an only child and his mother had trained him to play by himself.
 A Neighbor Takes Action
 One day he deliberately ran a boy down. This was the worst of all his experiments. The others consisted in grazing small bodies or riding over dogs tails.
 This boy was hurt. He couldn't get up. Timmy didn't run away. He sat on his tricycle. and said, 'I couldn't help 1t. He got in my way"
 Then lady came out. She had been observing the young Pizarro for some days. She went over to Timmy's house and rang the bell. And she said some things to Tim my's mother. The latter was very frigid and spoke of busybodies and Ininding one's own affairs and so on.
 T am past being offended" said the neighbor. You have a child who is wilfully hurting oth- CTS, children too small to take care of themselves. They are not safe on their own sidewalks"
 With this warning she left. In a few days the same thing hap pened again. This time it was her little girl.
 Now what would you have done?
 She did something. She put the tricycle. in her car and drove 1t to the police station. A policeman came around to see Timmy's mother. And Timmy behaved after that.
