IT'S HARD TO BEAT A DRUMMER BOY

In the discussions which ares being held at this time in Juneau as well as throughout the nation with the theme the Cause and Cure of War many sincere and worthwhile ideas are being advanced, none of which of course will cure war So long as there human beings that solution probably never will be reached,
 But these talks and discussions do serve audable purpose in that they tend in people hatred for war That is one of the precautions against conflict but, naturally it must be universal through cut the world to be successful That day may arrive if propaganda is made sufficiently forcefu and ex- tended to the peoples of the earth.
 Tn our own country outstanding step has been made toward effectively curbing war. That is the plan advanced by the American Legion for taking the profit out of conflict. It proposes law. with power vested in the President freeze prices at stationary figure the moment it should come is declared, Without profit will become a very tedious and ghasty business to those who would profit at the sacrifice of human life it always has been to the actual participants
 But unfortunately there is a far greater stumbling block to outlawng than profit important as that feature is. That is glory Ehere has been glamour about warfare since the beginning of time. The beat of the drum the wounded heroes the graphic stories of great bravery in encounter, and in modern times the matchless daring of conflict the air which every school boy loves These are the glories that make inviting Acclaim recognition praised egctism, the same old elements ever present, which led the eonquerors of old to lead their hordes in fGct and which lead the modern conquerors in the same paths
 Propaganda against war is worthy cause, but until that great day comes when glory be taken from conflict the fight to end is losing one There is toe much truth in the boast of the old cram

Aubrey W. Williams, executive di-
rector Of the National Youth Admin
istration, looks like a southern revival
preacher; and rightly. He is a re-
vival preacher, deeply sincere one;
though the creed which he breaches
and helps to practice is one Of fair
play in this life for underprivileged
folk, particularly the young.
You can see how this sincere re-
ligion, for it is no less, has shaped
his life. He was born in Springfield,
Alabama, in 1890, Of planter stock
that had been impoverished by the
Civil War, and had not gotten over it..
They moved to Birmingham; and
Aubrey at the age Of 7 went to work
as bundle delivery boy for laundry.
A year later, he became cash boy in
a department store. He knows the
ropes by experience.
He had about a years formal
schooling by the time he was 19; but
then he went to Maryville College, in
Tennessee, to study for the ministry.
Later, he went to the University of
Cincinnati; by this time committed to
social work. In 1918, he went to
France with the Y. M. C. A.; but when
the Yanks began to arrive, he joined
the artillery of the First Division.
After the Armistice, he got a fur
lough and attended the University Of
Bordeaux, getting a degree in philos-
ophy before he came back.
He was secretary of the Wisconsin
Conference Of Social Work, which Sc
cured the passage of the Children's
Code, the first one in the United
States. He went to the American Pub
lie Welfare Association; and was bor-
rowed by two states for relief work.
In June, 1888, Harry Hopkins got him; (;
and he has been in that neighborhood
ever since.
He is tall, lean, rather dark for the
old colonial stock; and the intense look
on his face is almost habit. He is
married, with four boys.
