It is a French snag. The other powers are favorably inclined, but France doesn’t want to take part in any disarmament proceedings until she obtains satisfactory security against Germany. In theory, this position is perfectly defensible. In ‘prac- tice, it isn’t water-tight, because France has a very critical taste in security arrangements, and upsets them one after another. There is a German proposal now up to France which looks good to most of the British and American judges. Germany would accept her present territorial status, with slight reser- vations as regards Poland, and give assurance that she would not resort to arms again for territory, but as a responsible ; member of the League of Nations would work with the Allies for the peace of Europe. The position of the administration in Washington is said to be this: That if France, instead of co-operating in inter- national efforts to reduce armament, thwarts such efforts and continues spending large sums to increase her military strength, then France should be asked to start payment on her debt to this country, on the ground that if she can afford the one, she can afford the other. On the other hand, Uncle Sam would be inclined to leniency with a debtor that co-operated sincerely for disarmament and peace. legitimate, and is meant for the welfare of the world, includ- ing France herself. PRISON GATE ARRESTS A great many persons have been disgusted. with the sentimental coddling of criminals by a part of the public. On the other hand, a just person also resents the unfair treatment sometimes accorded criminals who have paid the penalty for their crime by serving their prison term and who should be but are not given a new chance to make good in the world. An abuse of the punished prisoner which has not received much attention is the “prison gate arrest.” An English judge, in an otherwise unimportant case, recently took a stand on this point. He held that the law requires those who would appeal to its power to act promptly instead of “sleeping on their rights until at some future time it may be convenient” to bring up their grievances. He held that it is in the nature of a cruel and yinusual addition to the penalty already paid to arrest a released prisoner at the gate for crimes committed before: he was sent to prison and on charges which have been pending all through his prison term. “It is the duty,” said the judge, “of the police or other authorities intending to bring a prisoner to further trial to make up their minds betimes and give proper notification of prosecution intentions.” Certainly the prison gate arrest must create bitterness and resentment rather than humility or a determination to go straight. COUP New York sporting circles are still buzzing about a big “killing” made the other day on a horse race in Miami, Fla. The coup was made possible by the pari-mutuel betting machines used at Miami, which automatically respond to the “weight of the money.” A group of gamblers placed enormous sums with New York “bookies” on the two favorites in a four-horse race to “place.” They had every expectation, of course, of winning, but the odds would have been too short to make it worth while—probably one to three or one to four. So just before the race they threw in thousands of dol- lars at the track on the other two horses. This shot up the odds on the favorites who, true to form, finished one-two and reaped a golden harvest for the gamblers. However, the coup was as nearly “honest” as any gamb- ling scheme can be. The only ones to get a “trimming” were the bookies and the public probably thinks they had it coming to them. FORD How extensively the Fords will go in for airplane manu- facture depends in large measure on the outcome of experi- ments now being conducted with several all-metal planes manufactured on Ford ground at Dearborn, Mich. If these planes come up to requirements then the Ford airplane business is not far away. If they don’t, it will just be postponed. Ag Edsel Ford says, “Eventually Ford will make air- planes. We make everything else, so‘ why: not?” However, it would be wrong to ¢all the all-metal plane an “air flivver.” It’s too expensive for that. Other planes can be: built more cheaply. : ROUTINE Modern transportation and marketing channels have re- pealed the law of mathematics that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. ‘ ‘We can often buy California or Florida fruit better, easier arid cheaper in New York than in the nearest town to where Shey were grown. “Miss Ward of the national agricultural department re- that the shortest line from many a barnyard leads not ‘the farm house table but ‘to the city market. {é-Country children are often undernourished for lack of milk, when there is plenty produced on the farms on which they live.

It grew louder and louder, the buzzing sound did, and at last the Twins ‘ooked up at the sky to see} what was the matter. ' Imagine their surprise when they saw a tiny aeroplane coming toward them at full speed. And at the same time a voice called,y“Look out!” and | two pairs of odd-looking shoes drop-} ped to the ground beside them, and a second later a letter came flitter- ing down, Nick stooped and picked up the! letter. It was addressed to “The Twins. The Big White House on the Hill.” “Here, Nancy, you read it,” cried Nick handing it to his sister. So Nancy tore open the envelope and read the letter out loud. It_said: “Dear Twins: Mister Whizz is about to start on a'trip in his magic; aeroplane. “He is going to all sorts of places in my Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine Kingdoms, and I thought that perhaps you would like to go with him. He will take the magic shoes with him. If you wish to go on an adventure, take off your own shoes and put these on. Then you can go any place that a fairy can go and of course, change to any size you wish. “I hope you are both well and that if you decide to go with Mister Whizz. you will both have a very nice time. “Your loving friend, “The Fairy Queen.” “Hurray!” cried Nick. “Isn't that jolly!” Nancy didn’t say a word. Instead she was busily getting off her own shoes and into the magic ones. It didn’t take Nick long, either, you may be sure, to hop into his own pair of magic shoes, and hide the other pair (as well as Nancy's) in a fence corner where they could easily be found later when their adventure was over, The little aeroplane overhead kept circling around and circling around all the time getting lower and lower, until at last it touched the ground. Then a little fairyman in aviator's clothes stood up and waved at them, “Hello!” he called. “Want a ride?” “We're all ready,” answered the Twins waving back. “Are you Mis- ter Whizz?” “Yes, sir! Yes, ma’am! That's my name,” said the little fellow. “But in this cap and goggles I look more like Mister What-Is-It. Hop right in. That's the way. Pienty of room for everybody.” “Where are asked -Nancy. “The Fairy Queen's uncle lost, his magic snuff,” said Mister Whizz. “I'm starting off to find it. The poor fellow hadn't had a good sneeze since last Tuesday morning.” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) we going?” THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | : The Pleasure Is All Ours Madam Wenn =n In Los Angeles, a girl says he was | going to marry her but turned her) down, so she turned him up.

A Frenchman makes his wife a part- ner in the business of marriage. Some of our American girls would think that they were greatly abused if they had to work as hard after marriage as many French women of good family and moderate wealth. I think perhaps, my dear child, that they are happier than American girls at that. Certainly they are not as restless. 1 seem to realize that in their children and in their home lies their destiny.

As you read this sentence I can hear you say, “Is mother going to stay at least six months abroad?” Yes, my dear, I think I may stay even longer, for I find I am getting back my serenity of soul, Karl is like a son to me.

(Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) | In New York | ne Mote ob New York, April 7.—Who sets the fashions for men in America? We have no Prince of Wales and the movie heroes, such as Valentino, nave little influence any more. I went to a wholesale clothier in search of in- formation on the subject. Three classes of men sct the styles, he told me. “We watch the college boy to see watch the big business men of Wall Street and we watch the vaudeville performers. “More styles for young men orig- inate at Princeton and Yale than at any other place. Last fall we had two ‘spotters’ at Princeton. They saw three men wearing yellow cordu- roy knickers. Now young men are wearing ‘yaller’ corduroys all over the country, Boys in high school and young fellows in town copy the clothes college boys wear when they go home on vacation. “We watch fof the return of such what new things he brings to the campus,” the clothier told me. “We men as Tom Lamont, Jesse Liver- more and other brokers from Palm i|- EVERETT TRUE BY C FoR MG TO GVEN THINK Of BUYING ANY.

WELL, LAMBERT, SVERETT’S TRUS’S ALES RSSISTANCS DID You CWERCOMEF ME SYS fi! The Inquisition Is Still At It By Chester H. Rowell The Inquisition is still at it. Following Tennessee’: decree that no one shall learn any geology or biology that Moses did not know, comes an attempt in Ohio to penalize 'the discovery of anything in economics or politics that |George Washington had not yet found out. Orthodoxy is to be compulsory, politically as well as the- ologically. The political outbreak takes the form of demand- ing the discharge of alleged “reds” and “communists” in ‘university faculties. ‘ | Of course, there are no such professors, but it saves thinking to call them by these names, rather than take the trouble to find out what they really teach. Between the history professor who teaches that England was right in the Revolution, the economics professor who teaches an- archy, and the biological professor who teaches that “man is descended from the monkey,” we are in a bad way—or debates to broadcast! the law is founded. “Don’t talk to me about ‘legislative intent’,” said a veteran legislator. “I know better; there is no such thing.'. He was right; but, until we can develop something worth finding out, it may be safer if the people do not realize it too vividly. - Later on, when we reform things, by bringing cabinet and Congress to- gether, openly on the floor of Con- gress, to discuss things out loud, it may ‘be worth while-to broadcast these discussions, There will be something to hear. JAPAN TAKES ANOTHER STEP IN MODERN PROGRESS Japan takes one more step in mod- ern progress. Both houses of the Diet have passed the law for uni- versal manhood suffrage. Women suffrage, is, of course, still for the future, but’ probably not so far in the future as it was in our own country when mathood suffrage was first adopted. Japan thus acquires at least the external basis of democracy. Its law-makers will be elected by, and responsible to, all the people. Wheth- er this, will mean real democracy, and whether democracy, even if at- tained, is what Japan needs, only ex- perience can show. : Certainly, in these days when for- eign rather than domestic problems are the major concern of every na- tion, and the capacity of democracy to handle them even in older democ- racies is still undetermined, it is at least debatable whether a people not “SHOW OFF” After studying social psychiatry tas it relates to the early training of | children, Mrs. Jones came to the conclusion that rearing children was surely one of the most difficult of tasks. Mothers do so many things they should not do, she learned. For instance, where is a mother who is not so proud-of her child that she likes to “show off” the child be- fore her friends. Yet Mrs, Jones was told that when would be if there really were any such professors. f But even these ‘fantastic professors, if they existed. would be a less evil than demagogic ignorance imposing by force its limitations on the search after Truth. First we broadcast presidential addresses. i British consider broadcasting the proceedings of Parliament. The logical next step would be to broadcast the debates of Congress. Which heaven forfend—at least until we get some Then the Disillusioned as the American people are, they may retain some of the fiction on which our acceptance of the majesty of already jemocratic should be in a hurry to become so. But Japan has succeeded in every other western experiment, and must inevitably try this. FOREIGN AFFAIRS CAN NOT BE POSTPONED AND MUDDLED. For the already established democ- racies, the problem is not whether democracy can handle foreign rela- tions, but how to make it capable of doing $0. Democracy can not be surrendered, but foreign affairs can not be avoided. They can not be evaded, postponed or muddled, as do- mestic affairs commonly are. They must be handled by inter- national-minded persons, or they can not be handled at all. And democ-, racies are not habitually internatign- al-minded. It is the last thing Which political demagogues try to teach the people. Elections are won quicker’ and cheaper ‘by appealing to already existing prejudice, which is always nationalistic and anti-foreign. So, if left just to drift, the tendency’ of democracy is to ignore or mishandle foreign affairs. The easy remedy, therefore, is to handle them undem- ocratically, as has been often done in the past. But the only right way is for de- mocracy resolutely to set itself to the task of becoming fitted to this responsibility. It is a matter of education. If schools are to teach a narrow chauvinism to the young, and politics is to spout slogans and shibboleths to the old, both in the name of “patriotism,” | surrenders. democracy FABLES ON HEALTH DANGEROUS. a mother “shows off” her child in company she is developing in the child conceit and superficiality. And she, learned that it a mother “don'ts” a child every minute the child soon moves like a person, with his hands tied. The most exaggerated nervous cases in children, such as poor petites, temper, tantrums and dis- obedience, are often due to “too much petting” by the parents, and making the child the center of at- traction, Mrs. Jones .learned. Beach or Europe, We know what they wear will affect the styles of men in lesser position in Wall Street and that these styles will go into all classes. “Vaudeville performers are won't to create ney and bizarre fashions. Of course, the things they bring out are too extreme, but we modify the ideas and thus get our styles for the sporty young men.” Women’s styles are created most- ly in smart shops in the uptown Fifth Avenue district or in Paris. Within 24 hours of a new dress being put in the window of an exclusive shop it is being copied by manufac- turers -of cheaper dresses. It is a common sight to see men from cloth- ing houses copying women’s dresses and wraps on Fifth Avenue. I even have seen them doing it in the thea- ter district at night. Thus a woman who pays $90 to $150 for a dress because it is the only one of its cut and trim in existence may see revli- cas of it in cheaper material at $15 a few weeks later. Several of the exclusive shops will not sell goods on approval because they sometimes fall into the hands of professional design- ers who use the dress-or wrap for @ pattern and then return it, thus be- ing able to get the cheap copy on the market before the original is sold: Don't believe that New York is en- tirely heartless. Consider the case of Richard Walsh, a whitehaired old man of 72, who collected $25.78 in five minutes in a Seventh avenue subway. After he was sentenced to six months in the workhouse because it was his eighth conviction for beg- ging, he told the police it was a poor week in which he hadn’t been able to collect more: than’ $200.

DEAN, (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) sac diets *PEOPLE’S FORUM | >—___—-—_____——_—__+ To Editor of Tribune: ‘ A communication in Thursday's Tribune, signed by Bishop Wehrle, is conveying a queer thought about the translations of the Bible. A The Tribune, I think, is owing it to the public to give space to the following ex; ion: 2 We may safely'say that the trans- lation of the Bible, now in use in Protestant circles, are true and cor- rect; the same may be said as) to translations of the Bible made 'by Catholic authors... Bishop Wehrle’s letter is stating that Protestants ri jected many passages and even so1 jooks which for more than a tho sand years had been accepted by ane tene rts of tl ly. ire, is misleading. Yes, Protestants rejected the books called “Apocrypha.” ‘And the reason to do so, the er may | fro the following translation, of certain Book Tobias 4:11, “The alms are redeeming us from all sins, and do not leave us in need.” : Book -Sitach 9:83, “As the water is quenching a burning fire, so the alms blot out the sin.” & (if this is right, there is no need of a Redeemer). Book Tobias 6:9, 20, “Then the angel said (to Tobias): “When you lay a little piece of the heart (of fish they had caught) on glowing, coal (burned wood), then, the smoke! thereof will expel ali kinds of spec- ters around men and women;,so that (such bad spirits) cannot ‘do any harm.” I say: if God will heal by means of that kind, He has power {to do so, but there is no need of superstitious thoughts around such miracles). 2, Book . Magcahees 2:40-46: Verse 40, when (after the battle was over) they came (to take care of the wounded), they found that every man killed in the battle had hidden un- der his shirt jewels from the idol of Jamnia, which for the Jews to have them is forbidden by the law. Thus it was clear to everybody, why it was that @hese (comrades) were slain. 41. So they gave thanks to God, to the righteous judge, who had brought. this secret to light. ‘s 42. And prayed Him that He, on account of this sin, would not smite .them all, And the. hero, Judas ad- monished the soldiers that hence- forth they should shun sin; as they clearly could see that these dead comrades got killed on acéount of their sin. 43. After this he collected 2,000 drachmen of silver, as a tax; this sum he sent to Jerusalem for a ran- som. And this deed was alright, for by so doing he made a noble remembrance of the resurrection of’ the dead, 44. For if he had not hoped that those who were killed (slain in that battle) would resurrect from the dead, it would have been foolish and vain to intercede in behalf of them, 45. However, because he thought, that those, who die in the right faith, have hope of happiness. and salvation, it has been a good and pious opinion. ( 46. Therefore he made _ inter- cession for the dead ones “that their sins might be forgiven. (I say this: The teaching that may be drawn from the contents of ver- ses 45 and 46 constitutes a blasphe- my—not a true teaching of the Word of God.)
