LET THEM MARCH-ITS NOT OUR FIGHT
Germany violates the Treaty Versailles by moving
into the demilarized Rhineand.
That is the jumping off place for possible attack
France.
It is hostile act under the terms Of the treaty which
created the League of Nations.
The nations which ratified that treaty bounded under its
term to PUNISH Germany for violating it.
The United States did NOT ratfy that treaty.
It did NOT become member of the League of Nations
It is under NO obligation moral legal to intervene in
any way in the affairs Of Europe.
The Hearst newspapers led the fight to PREVENT
the United States from signing the treaty and becoming
a member of the League of Nations.
The Hearst newspapers Warned that if America did
become member of the League of Nations it UOuld
inevitably aUe to fight to settle the quarreLs of Europe.
The Hearst newspapers Were attacked, reUiLed and
Uilfied by internationally minded Americans because
of their stand FOR America.
Time has proved which RIGHT
Had America signed that treaty bugles might be blowing
throughout America today.
American youth might be fodder in another
''war to end war;
No buges sounding
No soldiers maching.
No mothers weeping.
NOT IN AMERICA.
Is there any AMERICAN not ready to shout Halle
lujah for that?

marvelled at the unusual clean
illness of the power plant. Where
upon, Henry Ford told him of
another use of suggestion, saying:
whenever a department gets
to sinking, we bring the mana
gers to have look at the power
house. Then they go back and
we are sure that their depart
ment will be cleaned up"
CoueiSm was a good vogue
while it lasted. But it was really
nothing new. Self-discipline is
as old as man and is not a mat

CRITICISM

When the conference report on
the leave for Government employees
was recently adopted in the House,
there were at least two members
who felt it necessary to make some
criticism for home consumption.
They were Representative Thorn.
as L. Blanton CD of Texas,
and Representative Robert F.
Rich (R) of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Rich remarked:

JUST WHY?
All around you are bright and
busy people who are receiving the
attention and consideration which
you feel should come to you. But
these people are working for that
attention, Stranger-working over
time. And giving plenty in return
for what they crave. What are
YOU giving? What is YOUR
status?
How many new thoughts are
you tackling daily? How many
modern problems do you con-
slider? What, in short, do you
know of America in this year
1896? And of your fellow Amer,
leans? And what have you to
contribute to them in the way OF
wit, philosophy, sympathy and
hoSS sense?
You glare at me Indignantly.
Even at this vast distance, can
hear the big, wet tears Splashing
as you remind me what a won
derful mother or father you used
to be-Son, daughter or what
have-you. Why, then, with a won
derful record like that, should
you have to exert yourself for
the love and gratitude which
should be yours by rights?
SOMETHING WRONG
A touching plea-and most
popular with a certain brand Of
human. But I happen to be a
mother myself, stranger. And
going on to So. And I've yet to
see why the fact that I was a
beautiful blonde Gibson girl way
back in 1899 exempts me from
rating a social asset in 1886. AS
for mothers and fathers-there'S
nothing about being a parent
that prevents one from being a
beastly bore or social light. And
what's there so strange about the
notion of combing blood ties with
a few pleasing parlor tricks?
Lastly and mostly. I wish to
touch on this point of unappre,
ciated love. If there's one thing
that is always its own reward
it's LOVE.
No real lover ever thought he
was doing the other fellow a
favor, or putting him under an
obligation. To the contrary, NO
life was long enough to hold his
or her proud and passionate
gratitude for the priceless privi
lege of such service.
And whenever I hear somebody
beefing about their unrequited
affection, there's just one thing
I know without any further
proof, and that is there was
something mighty wrong with
both the quality and quantity o
the article under question.
So now you know what I think
about your not being appreciated
And maybe you'd get ar awfu
jolt if you knew how many o.
the neighbors agree.

WINS PRAISE

It has been many a day since
members of the press paid atten'
ton to the activities of the Court
of Claims of the United States
But the scribes recently made
Journey to the tribunal, which is
presided over by Chief Justice Fen
ton w. Booth, in order to hear
one of the most unusual cases ever
reviewed by that court.
1t was the claim of the Dixie
Terminal Company, Of Ohio, for
SLOT.
The attorney for the terminal
company was none other than Rob,
ert A. Taft, son of the late Presi-
dent and Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court, William Howard
Taft.
Even the Governments attor-
neys were forced to admit that
Taft, unlike some sons of famous
men, was one Of the most able
lawyers to ever argue a case in any
court. They agreed that his pre-.
sentation and his demeanor in
court was one Of the finest exam
Piles of legal ability they had ever
witnessed.
The SLOT suit was for interest
on a Liberty Bond, which the
Dixie Terminal Company held and
for which the organization con-
tended it should be paid.
1t will probably be some length
of time before the court rend-
ers a decision in the suit but all
lawyers who heard the preSenta-
tion agreed that if it is favor
able to the Dixie Terminal Com
pany, it will be because of the
work of Robert Taft.

A London court has cenSured j.

that energetic. little French drug

a position which prevented them
from objecting, because to object
would have caused opinions that
there was something concerning
the seizure that should not be
made public.
In the discussion of the seizure
of the kilograms, Senator Black
charged that certain kilograms
were burned in one telegraph Of
flee, but, when those tactics ap,
peared dangerous. the cry was
raised that the action of the COM
mittee was in violation of the Con-
stitution.
Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach
CD of Washington, asked:
"The real fact of the matter is
that they are just substituting
the Constitution for the inciner-
atOr, is it nOt?"
Mr.. Black answered:
CerCalnIy. Since the lncln-
orator has failed to work and
the stoves will not burn that
which those being Investigated
cannot put in the stoves, they
call on the flag and the COnsti-
tuition. Every lawyer is familiar
with that method. They all
know about it,"
Such answers may constitute
Senator Blacks method of answer
ing the question of what right the
committee had to make the seiz-
ures, but from all indications re-
sponseS of that type will fail to
satisfy the increasing demands for
the facts concerning the action.

Europe were going about repeat,
ing:
"Day by day, in every way,
I'm getting better and better"
That was the Coue formula, the
open Sesame" to health. Coue's
fame had preceded by two years
his tour of the United States.
However, he had been widely pub
licized and Town Hall in New
York was packed to the doors on
the January morning in 1924 that
attended his first lecture in this
country.
He had the appearance Of a doc
tor down to his goatee, but he
claimed to be no more than a
chemist, in the sense of a mixer
of medicines, and he did not offer
his methods as a substitute for
medical treatment.
SELF-SUGGESTION
He told us that back in our un-
conscious mind, which never rests
and which is really more impor-
tant than the conscious part OF
the brain we had q power which
We were not putting to the best
advantage. This power he called
Self-suggestion. Coue said:
'Tt is an instrument we all
have which we all use day and
night, without knowing it. All
we do, ali we say, is a result of
it. Even the infants in their
cribs use it. They will cry and
continue to cry to suggest to
their parents that they wish to
be taken up.
"ThiS autO-SuggeStiOn, which
is a power for good when used
properly, may also be danger

The mere fact that the Army
secures new bomberS is not an
indication of preparedness.
On a recent date, the Martin
plant delivered 80 new bombers.
The Lycoming organization had
been given the contract for pro-
pellorS because of satisfactory
tests made with four handmade
props"
After the contract was given,
however, Lycoming attempted to
machine-make the new blades
with the result that the props
split under tests.
So 1t is that the Army has a

ture with little sherry wine, Is q
combination which contains about
400 calorieS.
What Diet Includes
The diet should also include
meat, fish, chicken, etc., in liberal
quantities. These articles also
have a stimulating effect on nutri-
ton. Also cereals which have a
high nutritive value. Fruits and
vegetables must be included, espe-
cially potatoes. Bread with plenty
of butter-the bread or toast be-
ing more the medium for plenty Of
butter than anything else. Des-
serts, jams and jellies are allowed
in liberal quantities.
Just as the overweight patient
has to exercise, the underweight
has to rest. To lie down for an
hour after each meal will do more
to put on weight and strength than
any other thing. If in the stress
and strain Of a workaday life an
hour is too much, take as large q
part of it for rest as you can. It
is surprising how easy 1t Is for
anyone to arrange half hour or
Is minutes rest three or four
times in the course Of the day. BY
rest, J. mean lying down in full re-
Taxation on a couch, bed or SOFA.
This plan is valuable also for the
convalescent from surgical oper-
alton or a prolonged illness OF any
kind.

COSTS
RISE SLIGHTLY

Average living costs for families
Of wage earners and lower-salaried
workers in 80 large cities increased
four-tenths of l per cent between
July Is and September Is, Secre
tary of Labor Francis Perkins said
today.
She said:
"This increase reflected ad.
vances in costs for each of the
groups Of items included in the
family budget. The increases
were small. however, each group
showing a rise of less than l per
cent except the fuel and light
group.
Advances in general living
costs were reported for rs of the
81 cities covered by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. The largest
change noted for any city was
an increase of 1.5 per cent in
Los Angeles. In most of the
cities the increase was under l
per cent"
Secretary Perkins added that
since the early part of 1885, rents
have been moving steadily upward
The average advance in the 80
cities was seven-tenths of l per
cent, with all but five cities show
ing increases. The largest rise was
noted in Cleveland, 5.3 per cent,
while Atlanta and Richmond
rental costs rose 81 and 3 per
cent, respectively.

 ly in a modern war, Germany had been storing up internal pressure since the Nazis came to power in 1883 ct Q rate which made outlet imperative.
 Something had to happen. It did. Reichchancellor Adolf Hitler, whole- hearsedly supported by the entire cabinet, brought cut into the open what practically everyone in 0er- many knew had been going on for two years, but which nobody could publicly say: namely, the building up of the country's defense forces and fighting equipment to Q point which the NaZiS considered appro- priate to the security and prestige of the Thiyd Reich.
 Secrecy Finally Dropped
 This was frankly @ relief to the Germans (thouRh disturbing to some foreign powers) since they knew that these things were no longer actually secret, could not be kept secret, and did not want to have to pretend any longer. For the same reasons, 1t was also c re- lief to foreign diplomats and newb- papermer in Berlin.
 Tn the jubilation and ponnp of bringing back into existence the oid- time German army, no mention was made here that this step dealt @ mortal blow to the military clauses of the Versailles Treaty. Perhaps this technicality was not considered necessary; or, more likely, was not considered tactfui, for when Q well- known German editor two months later hailed the Anglo German naval treaty as 0 coup do grace fo: these same clauses, he was stis- pended from his post. The point being that Germany wanted an army, but didn't want to give of. fense with 1t abroad.
 That, in fact, has been the key- note of German foreign policy throughout the year. On numerous occasions. including his talks with Simon and Eden and in his famous l2-point speech of May 2l, Hitler
