inal power. CATER Mussolini what?"
is one OF many European questions.
Mr.. Hull, Secretary of State,
sailed for South America six hours
late, to help bring peace to the
world, or at least help set a good
example on these two continents.
He left a pier "double-picketed";
the strike tied up his ship, which
had to bring six non-striking sea-
men out to the secretary's boat,
waiting patiently near the Statue
of Liberty.
After peace is brought to the
world, the next step will be to
bring peace to United States in
dustry. You may read some day:
1.-The House, Senate and Supreme
Court could not meet; the Presi-
dent has moved over to the New
Willard; the Amalgamated Order of
Furnace Tenders let all the fires go
out, while, in sympathy, the Electric
union turned off all lights and the
elevator men said sympathetically,
No elevators
There must be, for public ne
cessities, including shipping that
carries passengers and mails, some
better plan than the strike plan,
and one that would be just to work.

This country makes some things
better than any other country-auto-
mobiles, and moving pictures, for
instance-and Englishmen know it.
The late Irving Thalberg. vice pres
ident of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer left
$4,000 shares of Loew moving pic
ture stock. AS soon as the large
block was offered for sale, English
men bought it all, by trans-At-
lantic telephone, for about 81, zoo, 900.
Nicholas Schenck, head of Loew's
and its biggest stakeholder, missed
an opportunity, and knows it. Every
body across the ocean knows that
this country is one NOT to be sold
short, regardless of passing troubles.
1t is said the royal tombs re-
served for Spanish kings have been
violated, some or all of the bodies
thrown out. 1t would be pity to
offer insult to what remains of the
truly great King, afraid of mice and
spiders, but not of any man
Charles the Fifth-if he also was
entombed in the Escurial Pantheon.
Of the others, many would be
more useful as fertilizer on some
Spanish field than they ever were
on the Spanish throne, and it is
not necessary to weep over them.
London, with the biggest floating
fleet on earth, is striving to ''human-
ize submarine warfare"
That is like trying to humanize
rat poison. Look at Spain and you
see what will happen in the next
war; everybody will kill as many
as he can, as brutally as possible;
you remember the Lusitania?
The biggest crowd seen in Wash
ington greeted the President on his
triumphant return to Washington,
the White House and his job. For
eleven days he will see only execu-
tive assistants and rewind the big
machine. Those willing to serve
their country for consideration, or
tell the President, free of charge,
how it could be run better, must
wait, probably until his return from
the trim to South America.
Voltaire's learned DIR. Pangloss
was wrong; it is not true that "all
is for the best in the best possible
of worlds"
In spite of all our wealth and pros
perity, more mothers die in child
birth, in this country, than in any
other Civilized" country in the
world.
You know that better conditions
are needed in America when you
see photographs of the wretched
two-room log cabin in the swamp
bottomlands where Mrs. James
Bridges gave birth to bankruptcies.
According to Science Service, If
whisky is subjected for seven hours
to intense sound vibrations" which
means "a loud noise," the seven
noisy hours will age the whisky as
much as flour years in the wood"
Think what noise can do to the
delicate nervous system of the hui
man being if in seven hours it can
add four years to the age of raw
whisky.
Mussolini's order forbidding au-
tomobile drivers to blow their horns
in Rome, "Use your eyes and your
intelligence instead of your horns,"
should be copied widely.
