The Treaty To End War

The Kellogg BRAND Treaty, by the terms Of which
its signatories bound themselves not to make war
was hailed as one Of the accomplishments OF the
ages and the outstanding performance Of the Hoover
administration.
NOW we find that Italy. one Of the signatories to
the treaty, has announced to the world its intention
Of making war on Ethiopia.
Ethiopia in turn appeals to the United States and
20 Great Britain, both signatores to the treaty, ask
ing them to do something about the matter. specific
ally to do something to make Italy abide by the
terms Of the treaty.
Neither the United States nor Great Britain Is in
terested in even asking Italy to abide by the terms OF
the treaty.
Just another scrap of paper. that's all!

At a Job That Fits

One thing seems to be certain, in a world OF un-
oertainties: New York City is about to get some real
action in It's huge work-relef program, for the
same reason that Gen. Hugh s. Johnson Is going TO

Practicing the daily dozen" every morning, to keep
yourself Timber and healthy, may be good for you
especially as you grow older. But do you know that
one Of the most popular OF these forms Of exercise
also has been found to cause much OF the backache
among elderly persons7
That's the one requiring you 70 bend over and
touch the floor with your finger tips. while keeping
your knees straight. This exercise puts a strain on
the back.
A specialist has discovered that. when those who
have been suffering from backache at the same time
have continued this bending exercise, give up that
particular training. they are relieved Of the pain in
the back.
There are other, Just as strange. causes Of back
ache. Failure to wear glasses. for instance. as you
grow older and acquire a greater need for them. VIII
cause you to bend closer and closer 10 your work
and SO produce painful strains on the body.
When you buy a new automobile. ten change In the
seating may develop backache. Sometimes the pad
ding in the seat is uneven. II you're not comforta-
bly, seated. the continual jolting along the road viii
produce spinal trouble.
In some instances. you can get relief merely by
adjusting the padding In the seat. putting in an extra
cushion to raise it. or setting one Up to bolster the
middle Of your back while driving.
Sometimes backache comes from lying for a long
time on a bed in which the spring says. A small pill
low placed beneath the hollow Of the back and one
under the knees will prevent strain on the back
muscles. The better cure, Of course. is to see that
mattress and spring are suitable FOR the right kim
OF relaxation.
Use OF suitable pillows and supports gives q per-
son with backache a chance to overcome the strain
But the body also must be treated 70 improve the
tone Of the muscles.
Constipation must be corrected. Heat may be APP
Piled in any Of the various forms In which it Ia
available for the body.
Many kinds Of drugs may be prescribed for pain
in the back. But these drugs serve only TO block the
sensation Of pain temporarily and will not cure the
condition.

very attractive dress has round yoke
which continues into short sleeves.
In the range of very inexpensive
sheer cottons that you might like to
use for sultry mornings is a white
dress polka dotted in brown with
shirtwaist collar; shirt bosom out
lined with pleating, and a brown
ribbon belt.
REIGE or yellow cotton lace makes
an excellent hot weather dress,
provided the pattern Is close enough
and the cords of the lace sufficiently
heavy so that it will hold its shape
and not be too transparent. Such q
frock trimmed with a belt and two
large buttons made Of cords covered
in brown silk with a touch of aqua
blue is good for around town s-d for

Dotted swiss in brown or navy blue
with touches of white pique is most
serviceable and cool on day that is SO
warm that you hesitate to wear any

AA dizzily you'll want dresses
wv like this one to help you
present to the world a
pleasant picture. The skirt, you will
note, is made with a deep pleat in the
front, successful way Of presenting
the fullness which sports frocks must
have. And when the term sports
frocks" is employed, please do not get
the impression that you must indulge
in the active pastimes of exuberant
youth to wear them, for the term in
dicates only that the dress is of the
utmost simplicity, made for those
times when comfort and practicability
are of paramount Importance.
Sleeves are short and wide and the
blouse is fastened with single large
button. One dress is made of palest
pink shantung, with button and belt
buckle of a rather dark brown. Dark
red, known this season as Dubonnet,
goes well with pink, too. Pale blue
combined with brighter shade Of red
is very good, and nasturtium shades
keep pace with other flower colors-
lilac and iris, arbutus and rose. Truly,
this is botanical season.
Gingham is having great vogue
just now. In small checks or the
broken plaids, it has a youthful and
fresh appearance. Pique is certainly
one of the most practical fabrics and
is one of the few that look as well in
white as in colors. Linen? Well, you
know about linen-that it comes in
marvellous colors and has become
practically wrinkle-proof, and is just
about as smart as any material can
possibly be. Sometimes it is of plain
weave and sometimes dots or cross
bars have been woven into the surface
with marvellous effect.

Under
Polite Rule
Children Out of Place
When Criticizing
Each Other.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE evening meal at the Browns is
getting to be a bad dream. The
children, two boys and two girls,
take this occasion to tell each other
in plain words what Is what. They
let their good dinner cool on their
plates, even forget to eat their des-
sert, in the heat Of battle. Father,
who has worked hard all day at his
business, and mother, who has toiled
to make their home lovely place, and
prepared and cooked and served their
meals, are about ready TO give up
and go out to eat their dinner in
the peace of the garage
Harold goes to high school. Marie,
next in age, is vexed about that. She
thinks she was cheated by being
couple of years behind him. One
word from Harold Is a signal for
Marie to quarrel. He comes back at
her. Malcolm, aged Z, doesn't know
what it is all about, but he is on
the side of his brother, even though
all the contribution he can make
to the war of words is, YAH" re-
peated at short intervals in high, de-
risive yelps. Loyal to the hearts
core, Katherine, close to IL, goes to
the aid of her sister, who, affronted
by her claim of comradeship, turns
on her and routs her with Who's
asking you?"
In vain mother says, please!
Please! Will you have some more
mashed potato, Harold?"
Vainly father orders, Silence! II
you can't meet without fighting, at
least keep some shadow of manners
at the table. Let me eat my one
meal at home in peace" For
minute the warfare ceases. Only for
minute.
Harold remembers that he saw
Marie's name on the yard list for
talking and says, Its a wonder
anybody as smart as you couldn't
be little smarter and keep her
name of the BOBBY list"
After that the noise Of battle browns
all else and, in despair, father re-
treats to the living room, where
mother follows him with a cup Of
coffee. The children remain to have
one last word.
They do not actually hate each
other. They are near the same age,
these older two, and opposed in ira
dition of sex and habits and tastes.
One is jealous of the other. Each
wants to surpass the other. Long
ago they got into this habit Of
wrangling, and now it has fixed itself
upon them, so that it is second ma
ture to hurl personal insults at each
other whenever they meet. II these
two older children were in control
of themselves there would be no trou-
bic with the younger ones.
There is q law of polite society
that declares personal remarks taboo.
No well-bred person ever makes q
personal remark to another. II We
all went around telling each other
the most unpleasant truths there
would be no society. There would
be nothing except battles and bitter
ness and tears.
Enforce this rule in the family.
Nobody is to make a personal remark
about another in his presence. The
child that does so is to be banished
promptly and finally for the evening,
or whatever occasion it be. Let the
Punishment be complete enough to
make the child feel he is being
punished for his cutting and insulting
personal remarks to others.
