(Official City, State and County Newspaper) PRESIDENTIAL WAR POWER Among the problems that the next session of Con- gress will tackle will be, probably, the knotty question of the powers which devolve on the president as a re- sult of his constitutional position as commander in chief of our armed forces. This question was raised in the last session in con- nection with the dispatch of marines to aragua, but | was not fully discussed. Doubtless the senate will con-| sider it again, however. The Constitution gives Congress sole power to declare war, but it gives the president powers over the army and navy which enable him to put the country in a state of war without any declaration by Congress. Buchanan has been the only president since Jefferson who did not feel that the president could land armed forces on for- eign soil without congressional consent. All the oth- ers have assumed that he could. It has been pointed out that a president could force the country into war without consulting Congress at all; and the whole constitutional question doubtless will be discussed in the senate. It may be guessed that the situation will remain unchanged. Our tendency of late has been to lodge more and more power in the hands of the president, and it is doubtful if this tend- ency will change now. THE CHEMIST IS KING It has long been obvious that the modern chemist is the man who sways the destinies of nations. But the fact has never been presented quite so forcibly as in a recent address by Prof. 0. R. Sweeney, of Iowa State College, before the American Chemical Society Institute in Chicago. The lowly cornstalk, said Professor Sweeney, can re- place both coal and oil in our industrial system. Gaso- line can be made from it; paper, rayon, wall board, fire- proof tile, synthetic lumber and insulating materials are a few of the other by-products. Cornstalks are full of cellulose, from which 3000 commercial products can be made. Practically all of the synthetic products now made from coal tar and other distillates of coal—and their name is legion—can be made from corn waste. The manufacturing center.of the future, he predicts, Vast populations will no longer will be the corn belt. congregate on the seaboard. Truly, the chemi: industries, cities, states, and social orders, important man of the twentieth century. A NEW LABOR IDEA A new cure for unemployment is suggested by Ethel- bert Stewart, chief of the statistics division of the De- partment of Labor. He proposes that industry in the United States should adopt the five-day week within a few years, following this, perhaps much later, with the six-hour day. Both of these changes, he says, should be accompanied by an actual increase in wage rates. A decade ago such a suggestion would have been Now, while it probably won't get adopted over night, it at We have learned in recent years that more things are possible in American indus- hooted from one end of the country to the other. least will get a hearing. try than we used to imagine. No one can say, of course, just what will happen in But, at any rate, it can be said the next decade or so. that the five-day week and the six-hour day are at least possibilities now. They are no longer ultra-radical, Utopian dreams. FASCIST EDUCATION Fascist Italy has issued a new order to Italian Fascists who live in foreign countries such as the United States, It calls on these Italians to educate their chil- dren in Fascist schools rather than in the schools of the country of their adoption, and demands that all of them wear the Fascist badge at all times, because “the badge is the symbol of Italianity for the wearer.” This really doesn’t mean very much of anything. Yet Americans who favor restrictive immigration laws ought to send a vote of thanks to the Fascist official who issued this order. Ineffective as it doubtless will prove, it is certain to arouse a good deal of resentment in this country. It will simply serve to strengthen the hands of the peo- ple who want to see the entrance of southern Europeans into the United States cut down to an irreducible min- imum. BOLIVIA BANS BULL FIGHTS Bolivia has put the ban on bull fights. A government decree says that all public spectacles must be educa- tional. Since bull fights aren’t that, whatever else they may be, they must be stopped. It would be interesting to see how such a law would work out in this country. Would a heavyweight cham- pionship prize fight, for instance, be classed as edu- cational? It ought to be. An earnest, inquiring young man can learn a great deal about what kind of country this is by the fact that two 200-pound bruisers can go into a ring, tap each other for an hour, and come out with something like a million dollars to divide between them. The prize fight points its own moral. It is, really, highly educational. is king. He can make and unmake He is the earned by various means as it is often earned for struggling churches and the amount is always small, These arguments are no doubt true ones, but never- theless a community with money for endless amuse- not of primary importance surely has money and time to give for the improvement of the city of the dead. Many a man who takes perfect care of his sedan for- gets the grave of his child, and many a man who is willing to spend hours talking petty politics has no time to spare in repairing the hinges on the graveyard gates. In_ the older states cemeteries in the small towns are ally places of beauty and the dead sleep be- neath canopies of flowers; austerity is softened by the budding bowers of trees and the songs of birds. This should be true in every village everywhere. Fund or no fund there can be little excuse for neglect so sordid and unseemly. It would be better to neglect the lawn at home than to neglect the little plot made sacred by a thousand tender memories. PLEASURES THAT LAST (London Times.) - Lamentations having as their theme the transitori- ness of pleasure are seldom justified. When pleasure is based merely on the satisfaction of desire it is a happy thing that it cannot endure, and that the very ef- fort to continue it produces satiety and disgust. The source of true enjoyment is found in that which is deeper and more enduring than mere desire. It pro- duces a conscious interior harmony which abides long after the occasions of the pleasures of sense have passed away. Berkeley in his Alciphron writes of the pleasures of reason, imagination, and sense; it is as these are com- bined that a man is able to enjoy present pleasure while he stores up memories which provide constant en- joyment in the future. For this reason those sources of pleasure are most enduring that come from the exercise of a man's spiritual faculties, and enable him to par- ticipate in something of the joys of the supernatural life, They abide because they are derived from the boundless resources of Him at whose right hand there are pleasures forevermore, SUPERANNUATING AN ISSUE (Houston Chronicle) A debate on the companionate marriage is conducted in a recent issue of the Forum. Apparently the editor must have arranged for it some time ago, otherwise ie would not have given space to such an extinct -sub- ject. Some months ago there were those who said no no- tice should be taken of the aberration of the little Den- ver judge; that it shouldn’t be given publicity. But it was given publicity. The case was brought before the public, and now it is but a bubble that has been pricked. Not only has the air been cleared on this particular sub- ject, but there is doubtless a much better general under- standing of the basic principles of our marriage customs and more determination to uphold those principles, as a result of the discussion. If some of the other anti-social theories of the day (especially those hatched from the. alcoholic brains of our so-called younger intelligentsia) could be brought. as sharply to a test in the arena of public opinion, then the air would be cleared of a good many more miasmatic vapors emanating from moral decay. Unrestricted public discussion of an issue will settle the issue, and settle it right. EDUCATION IN LOVE (Ann Arbor News) Hatred for the “gringo” will be a relic of the Mexican museums within a generation or so, if a movement re- cently inaugurated below the border realizes the pros- pects that it seems to offer. Down there a committee of educators and newspaper men has been formed to direct a campaign of under- standing in the schools. Mexican children are to be taught to love American children, according to the an- nounced plans of Under-Secretary Saenz of the depart- ment of education. The children will be encouraged to exchange presents with their contemporaries in America. There is education making itself useful as an in- strument of peace. It is paving the way to mutual en- lightenment, to a practical outlawry of war. It will be heroine service like that which the president of joston university recently declared to be one of the missions of education. Incidentally, Mr. Saenz admits that the idea came originally from an American educator, which might be accepted as indicating the readiness of American educa- tion to reciprocate. Indeed, it will be a shame if the Mexican children who send those presents to their American “friends” receive nothing in return. CROP INSURANCE (Duluth Herald.) Many students of farming conditions think that the time has arrived when ey insurance at a low cost should be available for the farmer. Planting crops on prepared ground is an expensive operation and highly speculative. The farmer gambles the use of his land, his overhead, his seed, his cultivation and his labor against such risks as drouth, excessive moisture, floods, frost, hail, too much heat, not enough heat, plant dis- eases and insect pests, Business men in cities can get insurance against all risks except the general risk of being in business. He has insurance of all sorts on his goods and automo- biles, insurance against defalcations, injuries and acci- dents. To be sure the farmer may have the kind of insurance the business man has but he does not need much of it. His risks are of a different sort. _At present, speaking generally, the only agricultural risk the farmer is protected against is hail. Only a very zal percentage of farmers carry this, and the cost is igh. __ It is argued with reason that the farmer should have insurance against the class of risks enumerated, and that his policy should guarantee him three-fourths of a normal crop of any field insured. All loss above that would be carried by the farmer. No way has been devised of insuring the farmer against large surpluses or low prices. These things are among the many chances he is subject to. The last group of evils is a public concern and the farmers are demanding that the public concern itself with them. This is a long step akin to guaranteeing that a mer- chant shall always make a profit in his business. There ments and time to spend for a thousand and one things are many other panaceas which will be tested before the nation will undertake to fix and maintain prices, HICAGO (New York Times.) The public, which is told so often how helpless it is to checkmate an entrenched political organization, is be- ginning to believe in Chicago that it has not only check- mated but destroyed one of the most powerful machines in the country. Last Spring, when Chicago citizens roused from their lethargy and defeated Mayor Thomp- son’s ticket all along the line, the victory was hailed as salutary and stabilizing. But the Mayor failed to make good his offer to resign if his nominees were de- feated, and pounding by the newspapers seemed without, effect. Now suddenly the whole Thompson edifice be- gins to crumble; two high officials have resigned; in many quarters the resignation of the Mayor on the ground of ill health is expected, and throughout the press of America’s second city there runs an under- current of belief that last Spring's wound is proving to have been mortal. g No doubt has existed in the minds of those who have expertly surveyed the Chicago situation that an alliance existed in the city between politics and crime. The crime ran the gamut from gambling to assassination, and despite furibund threats from the Mayor and the police only one victim of consequence was to be dis- cerned: Al Capone, the Racketeer, who was driven from the town and obliged to operate thereafter through his lieutenants. A special Grand Jury was impaneled, and, following rumors that some very interesting and dam. ing indictments were being drawn against the Mi or’s friends and supporters, Mr. Thompson issued orders for a complete clean-up of the city. Police Commis- sioner Hughes resigned forthwith on the ground that the job was too big for a man in his state of health, Previously the City Controller had retired amid charges that to revise city spending on what may euphemistic- ally be called “an economical basis” would not be toler- ated by the Thompson heads of departments. Me: while some of the machine Judges came under the fire of civic groups which for a long time have despaired of remedyirig conditions in Chicago; and the Criminal Court boldly declined to allow the legality of the special Gesod Jury, with its anti-Thompson menace, to be ques- Thus it may be that Chicago is about to punish its crooked politicians, to rebuke its demagogues and to 'westore its Government to a plane of decency com- mensurate with its great importance, beauty and dig- nity as an American city. this happens, full credit foe a cies, te the primary avelane, rt the pelaved use an outraged population strength came back to the cleansing BY RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, Aug. 1.—The Kellogg multilateral peace treaty may not do any particular good, but it ought not to do any harm. Meanwhile the possibility will ex- ist that it may encourage further steps toward the achievement of world peace. One learns by discreet inquiry that the prevailing opinion in for- eign capitals is that the immediate motive behind the treaty movement may be traced to our domestic poli- ties. Our diplomats aren’t kidding for- eign nations, it may be stated with assurance. And on the other hand, theirs aren’t kidding us. That goes for about every day in the year. Possibly the rest of the world 4s a little too cynical, but there are| cynics everywhere. Hereabouts, for instance, it has been commonly ug- derstood that the secretary of state would bave resigned long ago if he could have achieved a graceful and creditable exit, covered with some glory from a large task well done. Mr. Coolidge, one may be sure, is anxious to see his administration credited with one major success in its foreign relations before he steps ut, When the administration can add a major star to its crown with an immense amount of eclat and bally- hoo just two or three months before election, and especially one that ap- peals to the great mass of voting citizenry, there is good reason for all concerned to be happy—except the Democrats. Since the election of 1916 the American people have been demonstrating in such ways as they have been able that they hot for peace, The other nations involved under- stood that, after many months of mulling around with the idea, prompt action would be appreciated by this government—with the elec- tion three months away. It wasn’t necessary to explain why. But the rush came like a procession of last- minute income tax payers. And now ’ preparations are being rushed for an elaborate signing party in Paris in August. one of the inaries to a prize fight. eee The whole show reminds But it’s all quite harmless. Among the signatory nations, the smaller ones are hopeful that the treaty may make them a little safer from bigger | nations and the large nations have carefully seen to it that they won't lose any of their powers and privi- leges as such, The right to war in self-defense remains and that the individual nation alone is competent to decide “whether cir- cumstances require recourse to war in self-defense.” All other signa- tory nations have the right to fore get the treaty if one violates it; each, it can only be assumed, will have the right to decide for itself whether the warring nation has the excuse of self-defense or not. And to choose sides accordingly. Our government isn’t tearing up the Monroe Doctrine and Britain has pointed out that its freedom of ac- tion is not to be prejudiced in “cer- tain regions” unnamed. France makes its usual, reservations, Whether the treaty means any: thing or not will depend on what The Manchester Guardian suggested the other day that the follows. sincerity of chronic drunkards tak- ing one more in a series of pledges was open to question. Optimists hope that the Kellogg treaty will lead to further disarmament, but no been official encouragement has given to this hope. European observers seem to be especially pleased by the indication that the United States is taking a more active role in international af- fairs than at any time since she re- nounced the League of Nations., The theory of is committeed to protecting Ameri life and property everywhere, ai “part of the general domain” ac- cording to President Coolidge.

We may not go in for foreign entanglements, but we realize along with the other great powers that the causes of war and the benefits of peace are wrapped up in markets and natural resources beyond our own borders. The Kellogg treaty does not hint at the underlying causes of war. But it does appear to represent as much or as little as the important nations were willing to promise at this time. f IN NEw YORK | o New York, Aug. 1.—Notes on nothing in particular and everything in general. ...

This booster type of patient re- sponds more quickly than the aver- sick person because he not only ractices dieting, but he talks about health and getting better. By teaching good habits of living to his friends, he has fixed these in his own mind so that they become a part of him. You can see the point. This veritable teaching of others helps to establish a regular healthful regime deeply, rooted in the subconscious memory. The patient may feel just- ly proud of these accomplishments. Ty explaining these things to his friends, he has become more and more interested in the necessity of the right food and exercise, and through careful investigation he has become more fully and intelligently conscious of the advantages which come from living a healthful life. It has been truthfully said that one only begins to learn a_ thing thoroughly when he attempts to teach it to others. If you are desir- ous of being still more benefited from the advice contained in this column, you must not only follow the advice literaly by practicising the proven good rules which I give you, but you should do your best to help others by bringing these facts to their attention. We get from this world just about as much as we are willing to give, and it is a good policy to point out the right path to others. If you were in the dark yourself, you would appreciate a guiding hand. There is a very close connection between spoken words and memory. Did you ever wonder why you can- not remember events of your child- hood that occurred before two or three years of age? The reason is because at that early age you could not talk about what you were doing, and therefore your memory of events was not as thoroughly im- pressed upon your mind as later when you learned to do things and talk about them at the same time, As you grow older, your memory mind becomes stronger because those things that are spoken about are visualized and remembered. The one who is sick will only make himself worse if he repeats over and over again the stories of his illness and pain, for disease is fostered by those who develop habits of com- plaining about their troubles.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: Mrs. H. K, writes: am troubled with a peeling of the skin on my face, particularly on my nose and on my chin. Could it be that the face powder and cream I use do not agree with it, or is it a condition to be treated internally in- stead of externally?” Answer: Most skin troubles should be treated internally through dieting and not externally by the application of remedies. I will be glad to send you an article on this subject if you will send a large, self- ¢ addressed, stamped envelope the ‘ next time you write. , Question: J. L. D. asks: “What is ‘Pumpernickel’ bread ?” Answer: Pumpernickel is the black bread of the German and Russian peasant, being made of the coarse, unbolted rye flur. The genuine pumpernickel is imported into this country sliced in cans, but personal- ly I do not know of a baker in the United States who makes this bread of the straight rye flour, that is, without the addition of wheat flour. The real article is an excellent starch food. Question: M. 0, R. writes: “I am 8 regular reader of your articles and also have your book, “The Fast Way to Health,” so wish your advice. Six years ago I had my upper teeth re- moved on account of abscesses, and am still unable ta wear a plate be- cause of mucus collecting between it and the roof of my mouth, although T have had several made by the best,’ dentists. Do you think I will ever be able to wear a plate?” Answer: I have had many pa- tients who complained of the same thing, and I always advised them to go to one good dentist after an- other until they find one who is able to properly fit them with false teeth. The fitting of the plates is not only a science, but an art, and even those dentists with the best reputations often fail to fit false teeth properly.

In “Man Crazy” Mulhall plays the role of a truck driver, who has fallen in love with the daughter of a very aristocratic New England family. Throughout the picture Mulhali wears his driver's outfit, plain shirt open at the collar, no tie, work trousers and boots, with a cap set at a jaunty angle on his head. é “Man Crazy” is from Grace Sart: well Mason’s clever story of New England, “Clarissa and the Post Road.” It originally appeared in the Saturday Evening Post. It is the story of a girl of cares ful breeding and from an aristo- cratic family who established a@ restaurant at the side of the old Post road to aid a crippled youth. Such actions are considered a ter- rible blow to the family pride by her grandmother, who later learns the girl is interested in a common truck driver who is a patron of the cafe.
