The Washington Arms. Conference had uprooted the sprouting seeds of war that had been sown in the Pacific.

Alarmed by the Capitol Hil at- ditude on ion, Ambassador Hanihara, 's representative in W ington, wrote his “Gentle- | men's Agreement” letter, making use of the unfortunate phrase rave conseque earth- | Ambassador na bla nature and he has not hesitated to forward radical ideas, he} has always clung to the American principle of rule by the’ ballot and has urged his ideas in legitimate and constitu- tional manner. He has, also, usually refrained from enter- | ing into bitter personal attacks and as a result has retained a considerable degree of personal popularity with members of Congress who disagree violently with his views. | But the movement which LaFollette seeks to forward, he finds, leads on to further proposals. What seems to him 4o be perhaps an extreme proposal, but a right one, becomes moderate in the view of many of his followers after a time. Now, he finds that the Communists, bent on the same kind of a revolution in America that Russia must endure, are trying to climb his band-wagon, not for the purpose of furthering his interests or views, but for the purposes of the Communist movement. When Senator LaFollette finds himself up against such a situation, is it any wonder that honest, patriotic and able citizens hesitate to accept new theories and brands of ex- treme democracy offered as a palliative for the country’s ills? May not most sporadic movements be properly sub- jected to suspicion in view of the disclosures made by -the Wisconsin Senator and similar disclosures? By furthering extremist views Senator LaFollette has invited men less able, less honest and less far-sighted than himself to pervert his power and popularity to their own ends. Every movement for greater power, for increased functions of the government, opens the way to attacks upon fundamental principles of the nation. The Wisconsin Senator, in considering a third party movement, must choose either the support of all the forces of discontent, the Communists with the honest “progres- i * or he must occupy a middle ground’ which is unten- the political arena. “> election of a President, however high-minded he mi; be, does not insure the honest government.

The news of! his intended resignation, known to the State Department about May 1, followed. Mr. Wood's retirement comes on awkward and emba time. Few Americans stand so high in Japan or could be so help- at ful in bringing about a renewed understanding between Tokio and Washington. Official Washington will make the best of ainew and disappointing turn in a delicate situation.

A new movement which sweeps into office inexperi- enced men without a powerful organization behind them offers greater opportunities for the unscrupulous than any other governmental force, a fact proved time and again. |’ The elevation of Senator LaFollette through a third party movement embracing such forces as he says now are seek- ing to ride on his coat-tails, would offer just such opportun- ities.

Batchelor Jumping for either height or dis- tance»holds the interest of an ath- jetically inclined boy or girl from en early age until maturity. These activities are. of the more vigoro type, calling for accuracy, speed and maximum effort. The equipment is so simple that almost any boy of 12 or more can construct it. The cost is almost negligible. Here are two types of home-made high jump standards: Material needed: Two pie 1'% by 1%% inches by 6 feet (uprights). One piece, 1 inch by 1% inches by 6 feet (brace and base). Two pounds No. 8 casing nails. A good standard can also be made by placing the upright in an old bucket filled with concrete, A five- gallon can cut through the middle will make ideal forms for a pair of standard bases. A piece should be nailed across the bottom of the up- right to anchor it in the cement. jails may be driven in the upright every inch or every two inches, or holes may be bored through. and movable spikes used.

For the broad jump a piece of 2 by 6-inch board, 3 or 4 feet long, set flush with the ground and spiked at the ends, completes the “take-off.” The pit is 5 feet wide and should be spaded up from the take-off to a point a little further than can be jumped. The runway for a distance of 40 to 60 feet should be level. Sometimes the same pit can be,used for both high and broad jumping, the run- way for the broad being alongside of the house, with the pit in the back yard. The standards for high jump would be placed at the side of the pit, as illustrated above. Copyright, 1924, by W. C.

Joe ;went to the movies, sporting his $725 diamond ‘ring. A pretty girl, about 16, sat next to him. : | She admired the sparkler. My, she’d always wanted to see a diamond like that on her finger. Joe was obliging. | Did he have the correct time? He did. What, so late in the afternoon? Would Joe mind holding her hat while she telephoned mama she’d be late for dinner? Sure. | Joe still has the hat. | The bobbed-haired girl still has the diamond. The ease with which women wrap men around their | fingers and make them jump through the hoop, is as pathetic as it is ancient. . You recall the saying that it takes a mother '21 years to make a man of her son, and only 21 seconds for a pretty face to make a fool of him. And the older they are, the harder they fall. It’s all for the best— part of nature’s cunning system of biology. 4 About 20 years ago, when women began flocking into business after generations of seclusion in the American | home, business men began to sense the commercial possibil- {ities of a pretty face and soft voice. The telephone companies tried male operations early in the game. But customers were so rough with “Central” over the wire, and called at the office to stage a fight so often, that the companies began to hire girls. Restaurant men know that waitresses bring more busi- ness than waiters, as a rule. Each pretty waitress attracts her own following. It’s the same in stores catering to men, all the way from clothing to tobacco. Beauty is a commercial asset. They’re even turning elevators over to fascinating young misses. Biology is get- ting on a business basis. Governments are incredibly stupid in not using women as diplomats. Germany, for instance . She might get better terms at a reparations conference if she were represented by ravishing vamps instead of solemn statistical gents with heads like gourds. Women have become a fixed institution as lobbyists around most legislative bodies. Why not try them inter- nationally? And their beauty wouldn’t be the only advantage. Feminine intuition and practical psychology would help, not to mention their brain power. They’d take to the game like a duck to water. In former centuries women like Du Barry, powers behind the thrones, made whole nations their toys. chases.
