CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspape PHASES OF THE PEACE PLANS The elements of epoch, of paradox and of destiny are ended in the present status of the diplomatic negotia- tions between the United States and Great Britain for the curtailment of naval armaments as one stride in the stcps toward the permanent substitution of peace for war. The epochal phase lies in the greater purpose behind what is admittedly but a part of the design to abjure martial method's in international quarrels and to sub- stitute peaceful means of adjustment hereafter. That constitutes such a tremendous departure from the age- old habit of deciding international feuds by resort to arms that it attains the significance of a new civiliza- tion at the door of which the world may be standing. ‘The signing of the Kellogg multilateral peace pact at Washington July 24 was a twin step in the movement to free the world of war for the future and lubricate its international frictions by means of arbitration, inter- National peace courts and diplomatic negotiation. *° eee There is paradox in the phase which will bring Ramsay MacDonald, new Labor prime minister of England, over for conversations with President Hoover on these further steps in the direction of permanent peace. He is com- ing at a time when feeling on the other side of the ocean is pent-up with envy and antagonism against the United States. It is believed that he means to discuss more than mere naval limitation between the two na- tions in a start toward extending further limitation to p nations, as France, Italy and Japan. Europe is $n a state of distemper on the subject of America. What he people who pay its taxes fecl was openly expressed time and again by members of the British cabinet in the Conservative regime which has but recently given way to the Labor government headed by MacDonald. The bitterness of the feeling against the United States 4#> was reflected in editorial comment and news reports brought back by Dr. Eric Quain from his trip of last winter and spring. Henry Tatlcy echoes the cxperiences cf the doctor when he tells of the snecrs on all sides to which touring Americans are subjected as a result of | the war debt friction. The ratification by France the cther day of the Mellon-Berengcr agreement for pay- mené will not ease the feeling of irritation any more than the prior ratification on the part of Great Britain has been able to ease public resentment there over a deal which to Europe's perfervid misconceptions takes on the aspects of a bit of Shylockery. So Premier MacDonald may be expected to speak of these matters with President Hoover in a strain of reas- suring conciliation. The policy of the Labor government. feems to be in the direction of greater amity betwecn the two nations. The influence of such an example of relations would be very salutary at this time. It would open the way for the United States to proffer evidence of friendliest feelings toward Europe and would tend to render impotent the propaganda which strives to goad Our overseas cousins into belief that we are rapaciously selfish in cur dealings with the world and that we have imperial designs against those not as strong and prosper- ous as this nation has become. eee ‘Thus the matter resolves itself also into an element of destiny. When Ambassador Dawes and MacDonald sat down together in Scotland shortly after the arrival of Dawes on his London diplomatic post, and started to discuss the reduction of American and British navies, they very likely closed an epoch in world history. They made the idea of permanent peace more dominant than it ever before had been. And when MacDonald and President Hoover announced on the same day recently that they were moving to the curtailment of the naval armaments of their respective nations, the “yardstick” being the only factor still to be determined, they gave utterance to more than a naval limitation pronouncement. They may have proved that it is perfectly possible for men or groups of men to con- trol destiny—to shape the civilized currents of their own times to fit their own wills and influence the great fu- ture ahead. Tt is early, of course, to say just what the upshot of the new British-American naval negotiations will be. But it is fairly safe to assume that some sort of plan will be devised by which the two fleets will be removed from the plane of competition. And that, all things con- | sidered, will be something new in the world. 4 ‘To understand the significance of it, you must go back into history. Since the time of Drake and Frobisher, the } | British empire has staked its whole national existence + 1, n its fleet. Years before Roosevelt was born, it acted on _ 1 Bis famous maxim, “Tread softly, but carry a big stick.” H | In good times and in bad, the empire insisted on main- ; | taining a navy strong enough to whip any possible com- Dination of enemies. tremendous amount of good. It might, conceivably, mean the passing of force as a means of settling international differences. That is what it actually can and will moan, if the plain people of this and other nations resolve that it must, and give their resolve a voice. There is more hope for world peace today than at any time in the past. The tradition of war is a strong one. But if the old British naval tradition can be given up, the whole war tradition is in peril. eee Does that seem far-fetched? situation for a moment. England and America, the two greatest world powers today, stand in a situation which, always before in all the world’s history, has led to war. Yet the prospects are that there will be no war. England and America, from present indications, will never fight one another. ‘This, of course, isn't solely the doing of Premier Mac- Donald and President Hoover. Thousands upon thou- sands of thinking men and women in each nation can share in the credit. But the result is the same. Until very recently it was said, and believed, that England and America were “destined to fight it out” for world su- premacy; and the two nations now are simply deciding that they don't care to submit to that kind of destiny. Examine the chain of events that preceded the war between England and Germany. The two were great commercial rivals. England has enjoyed a rich overscas trade for more than a century. Germany, younger, more bustling and more efficient, was getting into this trade, taking away old markets by wholesale. In addition, Germany had built a vast war fleet—the Consider the entire j only flect in existence that could compare with Eng- land's, Leaders in each country kept comparing these fleets, talking about them, looking to the day when they would meet. So, in the course of time, the two nations went to war; and we have got into the habit of saying that that war was “inevitable.” Perhaps it was. Yet the present situation between America and England is the exact parallel of that carlier situation between Germany and England. America, now, is cutting into Britain's markets, grow- ing rich on an overseas trade that used to be Britain's. America, now, has the only fleet that can rival Britain's. But the two nations are turning away from the “in- evitable” war. They are stopping in the midst of their rivalry, making concessions, squelching the war talk, looking for some way of making peace endure. By the simple process of using common sense they are reshaping their own destinies, It may be, after all, that the rulers of the earth have learned something from the World war. CANDIDATES FOR MUSEUM ‘The government is to create a western reservation for the perpetuation of the famous long-horned cattle which made the American cowboy famous and the carly ‘Texas ranchers wealthy. The purpose is to prevent the brecd from becoming extinct so future generations may be able to see in the flesh the animals that once roamed the American plains and first put Texas on the world map. That the long-horns are threatened with extinction may be news to “tenderfect,” but it is a fact that they began to disappear even before the end of the open range. Other breeds were found to yield more beef, and to be more easily handled. Experiments were made in crossing the new type with the old, but in time the long- horns became rare. Today they are nearly gone. Were it not for the picturesque nature and history of these steers of the days of the golden west, the fact that the government sces fit to preserve them under special care might cause speculation as to how soon Uncle Sem will také steps to perpetuate certain speci- mens of the famous moo-cow, which scems to be dis- appearing under efforts to improve registered breeds of cattle. And why not save the moo-cow, which is just plain cow, from extinction? Certainly the animal that was “just cow” and not a sterilized, pampered bovine aristo- crat had qualities which entitle it to a niche in the natural history hall cf.fame. At least she was a mem- ber of the family and just as tearfully mourned in death as was Debbin or Rover or Tabby.

WHEN AUTOS HIT TRAINS It is a revealing side-light on the nature of the aver- age motorist to learn that a huge percentage of all grade- crossing traffic accidents are caused, not by the train striking the auto, but by the auto striking the train. This, of course, means that the motorist was either extremely careless or extremely foolhardy. If he were trying to beat the train to the crossing, his judgment was simply atrocious—the train got there first with yards to spare. And if he simply failed to see it, he was guilty of an inattention that seems almost unbelievable. What we started to say was the figures show that there were more of that kind of crossing accidents last year than ever before. we don't know. You would think that any driver could keep from running onto a crossing that was already oc- cupied by a moving train. But, apparently, an increasing number can not. plies Wiltine ESTA STE | | Editorial Comment | VENICE TIRES OF GONDOLIERING (Portland Oregonian) All old European cities have trouble in revising them- selves in accordance with modern needs and styles, but the vexations of Venice are the most moving of any that have come to our attention.

These changes are not so radical as to work any Proneunced change in the atmosphere, say the Vene- tians, and yet going here and there will be made much simpler. The new bridge, it may be mentioned, is not designed for motor vehicles, which must still remain upon the mainland. THE PIED PIPER'S RETURN j failure.

HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE On Aug. 6, 1806, the Holy Roman Empire ceased to exist when Francis \II resigned the imperial crown after having assumed the title of Emperor of Austria. . The Roman Empire was the crea- tion of Otto the Great, who was crowned emperor by_ the pope in Rome in the year 962. Technically, it was a prolongation of the Empire of Charles (Charlemagne). It was based upon ideas which brought about the coronation of Charles the Great in 800. The restored empire included, reck- oning strictly, only Germany proper and two-thirds of Italy; or counting subject but separate kingdoms, Bur- gundy, Bohemia, Moravia, Poland, Denmark, perhaps Hungary. Under Otto, the Germans became not only a united nation, but were at once raised on a pinnacle, the pos- wee of Rome and Rome's author- ity. In 1254, at the end of the Hohen- staufen dynasty, the empire began to sink rapidly in importance and owed any real authority which it pos- sessed to the strength of the ruler who was emperor. The bonds which held the empire together were greatly loosened in 1648 when individual states were ac- corded the right to enter into for- cign alliances.

NS METHODS OF OVERCOMING STAMMERING In endeavoring to bring about a cure of stammering, it is important to develop a self-confidence in the patient. The spasmodic contraction of the throat muscle is based on men- tal conflict. Sometimes this conflict is hidden in the subconscious mind, re- quiring the services of a trained psy- choanalyst to search out and discover the hidden cause, that it can be re- moved and worked out. si Stammerers are very susceptible to suggestion, and it is wise to suggest over and over again that the speech is improvi Methods should be used for distracting his attention, such as having him sing or chant. The main trouble is he puts his whole atte: tion on his effort to avoid stammi ing.. As with one caught in quick- sand, the more he struggles to over- come his handicap, the more he be- comes mired. There are a number of systems of speech re-education, but they are based principally on four important factors: relaxation, correct breath- ing, vocal gymnastics, and the use of phonetics. The stamnicrer is always troubled with rigid HO aie ea a hardening of the abdominal walls, a clenching of the jaws, tongue and teeth, accom- panied by a spasm of the laryngeal | muscles, These must all be loosened and relaxed. These children do not usually have breath control. They will pant while gulping in air, and the tendency is to use the upper portion of the chest rather than the more wholesome diaphragmatic breathing. They must also be taught exercises to enable them to control the action of the lips, tongue and laryngeal muscles. They should also be given exercises in us- | ing the letters and syllables w! they find most difficult to pronounce, There is a very good collection of books now available to teachers, giv- ing definite speech exercises which can be used in enabling students to! overcome stammering. By using these systems of cure, the whole at- titude of the child changes and also its personality and social behavior. There are many instances of fa- mous men who have achieved success in spite of the mental agony and dif. ficulties associated with stammer- ing. Among these may be mentioned Aesop, Aristotle, Darwin, Demos- thenes, Erasmus, Kingsley, Lamb, Mendelssohn, Moses, Napoleon, and George Washington.

Singer’s Voice Gets “Clogged” Question: Singer writes: “I am to sing at a concert and would like to know what is best to soothe th> throat. While at home my voice is very clear, but as soon as I face an audience it gets clogged. This might be due to @ little nervousness, but please ad- vise me what will keep it in pood order for the occasion.” Answer: There is no special rem- edy to take which will soothe the throat, as the substances swallowed do not remain on the vocal cords. A small amount of menthol mixed with honey sometimes gives a temporary relief. It is also a good policy not to use cold water, ice cream or any other cold substances before singing and it is also wise to not eat a very large meal before your appearance. If you have a tendency to catarrh you should attempt to overcome this by following a correct fasting and diet- ing regime. Value of Greens Question: H. F. D. writes: “I would like to know the value of spin- ach, swiss chard, and brussels sprouts from a medicinal standpoint.” Answer: Neither spinach, swiss chard, nor brussels sprouts have me- dicinal value in the sense of curing disease. However, they are all alka- line-forming foods and should be used freely, with the possible exception of the brussels sprouts, which are gas- forming with some people. Epilepsy Question: K. B. writes: “I have epileptic fits, and a few days before a spell my hands and abdomen jerk. I eat candy and lots of it, and I surely suffer from these spells.” Answer: Intestinal poisoning is the real cause of epilepsy. Prolapsus or kink in the colon are contributing factors. Candy and all kinds of sugar must be entirely prohibited. Please send for a special article on this sub- ject. (Copyright, 1929, by The Bell Syndi- cate, Inc.) PERFECTLY AWFUL (By Alice Judson Peale) “Mother, you really ought to do something about Tommy. He’s per- fectly awful. He looks like a tramp. His knickers flap around his legs and his stockings are all wrinkled. He never cleans his nails and he chews three sticks of gum at once, so that I wouldn’t be surprised if he got lock- jaw one of these days. “Honestly, I’m ashamed to admit he’s my brother! And if he’s going to be such a mess I am not going to walk back and forth to school with him any more.” “Well, don’t worry about that. He’s old enough to go by himself next year.” “Yes, but mother, he oughtn’t to be that way. He’s a disgrace to the fam- ily, and I’m surprised you don't care more than you do.” “My dear, I do care, but I know that it wouldn’t do a bit of good to nag Tommy either about his appearance or his manne We'll just have to be patient with him as I was with you. You've forgotten that two years ago you were just as much of a ragamuf- fin as Tommy is right now. “You know it’s only within the past year that you have learned to brush your hair and clean your finger nails without being told. Why, don’t you remember, you wouldn’t even let me buy you a dress coat because you said it would be just a nuisance?” Growing sisters often find their younger brothers “perfectly awful.” But for the sake of both children it is well that sister should learn toler- ance and that brother should not be nagged into a permanent prejudice against all neatness and politeness.
