AnglO-Irish Peace?

John Bull and his other island, which
became sovereign Fire, or Ireland. on
December 70, are about to make another
attempt to bury the hatchet. At No. 10
Downing street, on Monday, Prime Min
lister Neville Chamberlain will initiate
series OF negotiations with Prime Min
lister Eamon de Valera, from which each
side is hopeful an agreement will ensue. It
will be the first official meeting of the
sort since creation of the Irish Free State
In 1922. Questions vital TO both coun.
tries, respecting defense and economics,
which have hitherto deied solution, are
due for discussion. Advance soundings
In London and Dublin obviously pro-
duced assurances OF results, without
which the peace conference would hardly
have been convened.
1t is the thorny issue of Irish parti-
tion-the resolute refusal Of the six
counties comprising Ulster to renounce
their adhesion to Great Britain-on
which the prospect Of accord may finally
be wrecked. Mr.. de Valera is adamant
in his ambition and purpose to unite
Southern Ireland with the lost coun-
ties OF the north. listers desire to
remain British is warmly reciprocated
in London. If Downing Streets attitude
can be modified, Fires dream of ex-
tending its sway over every inch of the
Emerald Isle will be appreciably nearer
realization.
1t is reported that because of the
possibility Of European war Britain
wishes betimes to be assured of friendly
Ireland. During the World War German
submarines were active in Irish waters,
supposedly in conspiracy with German
sympathizers like Sir Roger Easement
and other Irish rebels. The British
maintain naval stations at Cork and
Donegal, and have steadfastly refused
to permit the Irish to operate their own
fleet. When Fires constitution took
effect last month, authorities in both
countries suggested the time had come
to abandon British naval bases and
make Ireland's defense a matter of mu-
tual concern Mr. de Valera is q shrewd
bargainer. He may be relied upon to
exploit to the full Britains admitted
anxiety to tighten up her home defenses.
The economic situation offers no less
fertile 4 field for give-and- d-take. At
present there is only an Anglo Irish
coal and cattle treaty, with high fight
ing tariffs against most other goods. 1t
seems . safe guess that British states

There is, Of course, no season for neez-
ing.
The common cold Is with us twelve
months around.
It's visible signs, snifiing, sneezing and
coughing, are known to all.
Perhaps their very inevitability every
where one goes is the reason why so
many people have/pretended to think
them somewhat humorous
They> reason since they cannot get
away from them perhaps it is just a.
well to find fun in them, If at all pos
sible.
Jones, knowing better than most the
error of this attitude, had devoted the
main energies OF his association to point
ing out the necessity for avoiding the
sneeze, in public.
1t was one thing to know one should
not sneeze. it was quite another to stop
the thing before it got out.
The Anti-Sneezing Society for years
had laid stress on the fact that one need
not sneeZe II one did not want to.
1t was as easy as that, If one knew how.
All that is necessary is to apply the
right forefinger firmly to the upper lip,
right beneath the nose
This pressure, according to President
Jones, will stop nine out OF ten sneezes
but the will to do it must be there first
Occasionally a sneeze will get the best
OF one, despite all precaution, catch one
by complete surprise, as it were.
Even Templeton Jones, to his sorrow,
found himself sneezing on the street the
other day.
He didn't have time to put his hand
over his mouth.
1t was the first time in fifteen years,
however. Was it record?
The signs are not for him, but for all
these persons who somehow find some
thing highly humorous in spraying their
personal collection of germs all over
others.
They should be reminded that every
person seems to be able to work up a
comparative immunity against a certain
type Of coryza. but is highly susceptible
to strange types.
Thus the worst type of cold is not the
one caught from an immediate member
OF ones family, but from a total stranger.
Modern science. Jones asserts. bears
out this claim. which his society has been
making so long.
President Jones calls upon all persons
of good will to observe the public signs.
Cover your face when you cough or
sneeze.
II possible do not Sneeze
And Jones says it is possible in most
instances not to sneeze at all, if one will
take the slight trouble to prevent it by
the aforementioned process. which is
very easy to apply, and can be done
anywhere without attracting any atten-
ton.
More and more people are coming to
the sensible conclusion that the person
who sneezes on them is their enemy,
whether he or she means to be or not.
Those persons who are cold suscepti-
bles must be especially careful of the
public sneezer. Know thyself" is still
wonderful MAXIM

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Templeton Jones, president OF the
Anti-sneezing Society, was highly
pleased.
He was looking at last at signs in
public places admonishing the public
at large to cover It's individual and COL
lective face when it sneezed.
Jones had been pioneering for that
over the years, but few persons seemed
to share his viewpoint.
It had taken long time to get even
4 small number of people to see the
danger Of promiscuous sneezing.
Now something had been done about 1t
at last.
President Jones wondered how long it
would be before the dear public needed
the sanitary request.
Putting up signs and getting people to
obey them, were two different things.
Jones, in his capacity as head of the
Anti-Sneezing Society, knew the differ
ence well.
Every person engaged in similar work
knew the difference.
Agreement is one thing, and putting
the new knowledge into effect another.
Teaming the two, SO that deed follows
belief, that is the difficulty.
Jones had known persons to agree
fully with him over the inadvisability OF
sneezing full blast in public, only to
have the very person talking break sud-
denly into great ker-choo.
The work OF his organization had been
made the more difficult because so many
persons thought it funny, as they said.
Though just what there is funny"
about sneeze it is hard to say.
Yet many persons insisted on regard
ing the matter in humorous light, as if
somehow the calling of attention to an
unSanitary habit was mirth provoking, if
the thing itself were not
Man possesses these tendencies. Per-
haps 1t is fortunate for him that he is
able to find fun where it might not seem
TO exist at all, but unfortunately this
attitude sometimes has worked to his
harm.
All inventions have had to contend
with jealousy and envy working them
serves out in the guise Of mirth.
Feopie ana organizations who and
which insist on calling mankinds atten-
tlon to bad habits have a particularly
hard row to hoe
They are called cranks, nuisances, and
worse
Ihey may get intellectual consent, but
the mass habits of the brute demand
that he make serious matter into
something funny" SO that he can. feel
Tree to pay no attention to it,
Templeton Jones, as executive head of
the Anti-Sneezing Society, had been
combating this ever since he founded
the organization.
he, OF course, was the organization.
All institutions, it has been said. are
out the heightened shadow of one man.
Whatever success the Anti-Sneezinp
Society had attained-and it seemed at
last on the road to success-it was due
to the faithful work, in season and out,
of T. Jones, Esq.
