Mrs. Sternberger Use
BRUTAL Advertising"

NEW YORK.-It's brutal, this ad
vertising that World Peaceways
does.
But so is war, Mrs. Estelle NJ.
Sternberger will tell you, and she
is determined there shall not be
another war.
In the fact of a gathering storm,
she sailed for Europe last week OIL
a peace-preaching mission-a fifty
one-year-old grandmother compet-
ing for attention with the sabeT-
rattlers of the world.
From her desk here recently she
took two pictures. One was a
rough proof of the next in a series
of advertisements which World
Peaceways has sponsored this year.

pound" read the line under a pict.

ing on a butchers block.

nations have put bounties on bati-

berger asked, and turned to the
second picture, a photograph CT
her two young grandsons.
"Do you think | want them 70

Her attitude is the same that
World Peaceways, a no-profit cor
poration formed eight years ago.
is trying to instill in every man
and woman everywhere.
It's program in the newspaper,
magazines, motion pictures and
radio appeals directly to the peo.
pie.
People are power" Mrs. Stern
berger said, and the same idea was
conveyed in an advertisement
which won several prizes for the
organization this year.
1t showed a man puttering in his
garden and called him "The most
powerful man in America-Mr.
Average Citizen"
Right now, in spite of the World

United States has 6 per cent Great Britain, 38
per cent Japan, 35 per cent; Russia, per cent,
and France, per cent. Now wonder why it
is that the French, with the same size invest
ment as that of the United States, aren't all hot
and bothered as is our own State Department.
Six Times as Much in Japan
We have six times as much invested in Japan
as we have in China. Some would have us
believe, however, that the japanese eagerly &C
cept United States business in Japan, but don't
want any United States business in China.
To develop China, Japan must have the help
of British and American bankers. The only
thing that will be lost to European nations in
China, under Japanese control, is that business
will go through japanese "middlemen," just as
the majority of the United States business con-
Quoted with Czechoslovaka is done through Ger

And as to missionary, hospital and school
losses, since when did these social welfare
agencies cease to function because Of change
in a nations political aspect? United States
missionaries, hospitals and schools flourish in
Japan.
The best economic experts of the world are
agreed that Japan-controlled China will at
tract more Western business and investment into
China than ever before in Far East history:
Cd Because of the likelihood of less civil dis
order between discordant Chinese factions and

Dear Washington
By Helen ESsary

Mrs. Roosevelt did not dance the Big Apple,
but several times she waltzed s well that the
other dancers involuntarily slowed down and
stopped to watch her and her partner. Two
professional dancers led the young guests in the
Big Apple, but most of the guests preferred the
older dances
No wine, champagne or highballs were served
during the evening. Big bowls of very mild
punch we're found at several places in the
dining room and hall.
On Monday, when the President addresses
Congress, political Washington will jump back
to poStholiday business with bang that will
be heard all over the country. Few of the law
makers have returned. They are lingering at
home for the New Year. But with the exception
of Senators Austin, King, Connally and Burke,
now giving judicial advice in Puerto Rico, almost
every Congressman and Senator will be at the
Capitol to hear what Mr.. Roosevelt has to say.
Presidents Address AWaited
Vice President and Mrs. Garner did not go to
Texas for Christmas. Speaker Bankhead went
to Alabama. He would like to stay there until
after January 4, the date of the State senatorial
primary which will name either Representative
Lister Hill or Tom Heflin to succeed to the Senate
the persuasive, though temporary, Dixie Bibb
Graves. Nevertheless, it will be Mr.. Bankhead'S
gavel that will call the House of Representatives
to order at noon on January 3.
Some congressional expressions will not be the
same as they were when they left Washington at
the end of the last session. During the Christmas
intermission the legislators have had their
political ears to the ground in their own baili
wicks. One-third of the Senate and all of the
House comes up for reelection in 1888. It's a
very lucky legislator who isn't little anxious
about the outcome of next election day.

Of the day-in-and-dayout grind to do their duty.
People say evil is stronger than good It may
be for short time, but for short time only
In the end the Devil always ends up in the ash
can no matter what kind of fight he has put up.
Goodness is an inborn force, given to every
one Of us as surely as we are given our heart
or our eyes. Badness is an acquired trait,
achieved through the breaking Of laws, or the
accumulation of dust in the brain.
Little Folk Are Good
Nobody has ever heard of bad little baby.
OF course they raise the devil when they are
hungry or are tortured with gas on their
stomachs. But it is only when they get older
and come under the sway of evil influence and
real badness sets in.
To be good is a mighty hard business, but
when we are, it pays. 1t is natural for all of
us to want to be virtuous and fine. That is why
it is such pity that evil forces, lying in wait to
intrigue and ensnare the young should be al
lowed to exist in civilized society.
Satan, or evil, is big bugaboo we have allowed
to creep into our lives, and it is nonsense to
say that normal people do not know right from
wrong, good from evil because deep in our hearts
we do
I love to look at the Devils pictures He has
such lovely red coat, such handsome horns,

think, is all in the imagination of the human
