age should youngsters be allowed
to smoke? Grown-ups in this coun-

issue as anywhere else.
Now the lawmakers of this
young republic have made an en-

makers wanted to decide was this:
at what age may youngsters be
allowed to smoke ''in public?" Af-
ter ten months of deliberatioh they
emerged with a draft of a new
youth protection law" to reduce
age limit from 1S to 16 years.

The Illusion of Violence

TWO last illusions pursue the war
! ring nation. One is that war is
normal. In reality, however nee
essary war may ever be, II Is
never normal; but let IL run too
long or come too often, and people
take IL for granted.
The other Illusion is that II Is
possible by war TO end wars,
that by one more war, one
more victory. peace will be Sc
cured once and for all. II never
works.
1.-THE one thing you cannot do
with bayonets is to sit upon them"
Arnold J. Toynbee has warned US
(see his "War and Civilization }
that "the ultimate failure OF all
attempts to win salvation by the
sword is demonstrated in his.
tory"
He might have taken his text
from Isaiah 81. or the history Of
Israel and Judah, for Isaiah was
saying much the same thing to
both Hezekiah and Sennacherib.
But neither one understood him.;
and so their nations died. For when
ever any nation puts its supreme
faith in force, and neglects the
character Of its citizens, or the jus.
tice Of It's institutions. then II has
forgotten God.

"FLEETING SPRING"
BY F. b. Coffin Deceased

Better known as "Dr. Frank"
Friends, my dear friends, do you
That Springtime's April is gone,
And lovely May with all its
show,
Has natures spring coat on?
Birds, little birds, yes you know
That it is beautiful spring,
From tree to tree, the brides go,
On fleeing wing!
Singer of songs, do you know
That youth is flying?
That age, at the lock of your life,
viii soon be prying?
Lover of life, do you know
That youths hue is going?
More than that, do you know
That the gray is showing?

TO Decide Who Is Left"

@NE danger which war-making
brings is that 1t gets every
one thinking that might makes
right. Now might does not really
make right and never did; other
wise the champion heavyweight
would always be the best man,
morally, in all the world, and the
most helpless invalid would be the
most wicked.
Along with this nights
right" idea Is another one close
10 II: that the best way to per-
suade others to our way OF
thinking or TO our way Of living
II TO beat them over the head.
That has never succeeded yet.
You know yourself that you were
never persuaded that way. Fists
and guns and armies can make
people change their tune, but
never change their minds.
The way to change people Is
through their minds and consciences
and hearts. One act of international
goodwill. justice or generosity is
more potent than tons of high ex.
plosives. The sending of food. serv-
ices, skilled help such as doctors
and teachers, does more to win
friends than any number Of armed
alliances. The Christian way is al
ways the way Of love.
Topsy-Turvy Land
spHE waging OF war creates u
! lusions. Besides the one just
mentioned, of confusing might with
right, there is this one too: ma
ton at war lives in a kind of topsy-
turvy land What is of greatest
value is rated low, and things OF
little value are made much OF.
The longer a war goes on, the
mere Of q habit this crooked scale
of values becomes. For instance:
normally we value life above all
things. Violent death is something
TO make the headlines, and causing
death to others is something from
which we all shrink. But in wartime
we are all tuned, so to speak. to the
business of killing.
Whatever genius such . ma
ton may have. whatever pro-
ductive power, goes mainly TO
building up the military "po-
tential," devising more and bet
Ter ways Of inflicting sudden
death.
DR.. Charles Leber tells OF re

per about the sinking of the steam
ship Titanic, which went down will
the loss of over $500 lives. II wa!
breakfast time when they read thu

That was before World War ]
But now, forty years later, how
many people would lose their ap

used to slaughter that as DR.. Lebe
