What Is the AnSlcer?

7 HAVE yet to hear satisfactory
u answer from the preparedness
partisanS which will explain away
the classic case of Germany. In
the day Of the kaiser. Germany
moulded the finest military machine
the world ever has known. There
was an army which could have OBJ
liberated Caesar, Alexander, Han
nlbal and Napoleon before break
fast on any bright morning.
1t was so fine an instrument that
it sufficed to stand off the combined
forces of half a dozen great powers
for the span Of more than four
years. And yet Germany drank
the bitter dregs of defeat and
misery, for all the fact that it's pre-
paredness was adequate up to the
dreams of the most visionary field
marshal.
How did it happen? Two schools
OF thought still are in being. Al
though it dwindles, the 1914 ex-
PLANTATION survives. Partisans of this
point of view contend that the kali
ser wantonly fomented world
conflict because he was confident
of the might and majesty of his
mailed fist.
The more recent theory is that
Germany simply was drawn into
the vortex, along with other ma
lions, because imperialistic rivalries
made a world war inevitable. But
preparedness receives a black eye
which ever notion you support. The
Superb military machine was in the
long run. a tragic possession for
either guilty or an innocent Ger
many.

I'm Alone
By AUSTIN JAMES

ny AUSTIN JAMES
I'm sitting alone in my study to-
night
Just me and my books and my lit
tie brass light
The silence is eloquent, now l ana
free
To talk to myself-haye confer
ference with me.
When the others are here I'm too
busy for thought;
I'm concerned with impressions
that I may have wrought.
And it seems that I live in a stolid
reserve,
My mind occupied with the things
I observe.
But now I'm alone with the books
on the shelf,
And I'm taking this chance TO ex-
anime myself

the pain and perhaps, to some ex-
tent, prevent discoloration.
After the blackness appears, the
application of hot congresses, kept
on for half an hour three times a
day, will hasten disappearance of
swelling and discoloration.

done to black eye are the applica-

the application of any kind of strong

The danger of injury 10 the eye

the mental or physical pain asso-
ciated with the ordinary black eye.
It is well to have the eye exam
ined promptly, to make certain that
the eyeball has not been injured.

moments for feeling sorry for them
selves, or for fretting over the queer
characteristics exhibited by their
children.
Each moment of every day was
chuck full of living. When crises
arrived, mothers did not become
hysterical or repair to sanitoriums;
they accepted them as matter of
course. They died young, but they
did not become neurotics.
n y
THEY wasted no energy over the
= mother-in-law problem or the
frailty of a husbands love. They
neither sighed nor sobbed over fam
cied wrongs. And, because their
children were many, they were
obliged to set them early upon their
own two feet. A very good thing
for the youngsters.

Why should three feet make one yard, or

Why should there be an English pound, Amer

THE absurdity of peace conference through

Tariffs, national currencies and similar
disrupting policies of provincialism go back to
basic trends of life. Many of these trends are
fostered if not sustained by our so-called system
of education
Much as it may have accomplished in other
fields, education has not been able to free itself
from eighteenth century arithmetic. or from the

We are attacking the problem of peace and

The barriers confronting humanity in its eff

deeper than tariffs or diplomatic alliances. They
go right down to where people live where chill

the narrowing influences of a narrow past are
fixed in young minds where hate, suspicion, and
distrust are perpetuated through one-sided his
tory books.

WHENEVER the tissues of the
w body are struck with sufh-
Gent force there is likely to be
bruising. This may come from a
blow or from a fall.
The first symptom of d bruise is
pain; usually this is followed by
redness and swelling. Later, due to
the blood that has poured out from
the blood vessels into the skin, the
tissues become black and blue
AS the blood gradually is absorbed
this changes from brown to yellow
and gradually disappears.
For most bruises little immedi-
ate treatment is necessary Appli-
cation of pads wrung out of ice
