CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) WARRING EUROPE JS SORDID If this haggling over the division of German reperations continues among the allied powers in conference at the Hague, the world will have to get disillusioned on some of the aspects of the late war. The attitude of the four powers and Great Britain, which is how the lines have formed on the division of the spoils, will merely serve to impress the world that there is now, however it may be protested that there was not in the past, a very sordid side to the whole mess. Recent release, for publication, of wartime documents by the American state department served to create just such a painful impression. These documents—confi- dential messages exchanged in 1915 between our secre- tary of state and various American ambassadors in Eu- rope—throw a new light on the war. They make phrases like “the war for civilization” and “the crusade forj democracy” sound a bit strange. They reveal the ugly side of the conflict—the sordid, greedy bargaining that ‘went on behind the scenes, in which nations entered the ‘war on one side or the other, not from any altruistic con- cerns, but simply because they thought they could get the Most spoils for themselves in that way. We see Italy, trying to decide whether to listen to the . Allies’ promises of land and loot or to be “bought oft” | ) by concessions held out by Austria and Germany. We, see Bulgaria casting her lot with the Central powers after the Allics had refused to meet her terms. We sec Rumania teetering back and forth between the two sides, listening first to one and then to the other. We gee a chance of peace in 1915 blocked because Russia ‘wanted Constantinople and France wanted Alsace-Lor- raine. Incidentally, we hear the plaintive cry of Walter Hines Page, U. S. ambassador to England, after the Lusitania disaster, that if America failed to take immediate action it would lose “all European respect for a full generation.” It is a pity that Mr. Page is not alive today to see the overflowing measure of European respect and love that ‘we now enjoy, having acted as he wished. All of this sort of thing is acutely distressing. The finc ' phrases on which we nerved ourselves for sacrifice dur- ing the war sound hollow and thin. We discover that the nations of Europe were out for what they could get, and that our moralizing and idealism must have sounded odd to the cold-blooded statesmen who sought our help. ‘The war stands revealed as a big grab. It isn't pleasant to be disillusioned. To see tinsel where you thought there was gold is depressing. Life couid become almost uncndurable if we were forced to believe that the millions of men killed in the war died to no purpose. Perhaps we can put it this way: the war represented the final, devastating explosion of forces that modern civilization had put to work. If we who survived it can be warned by what happened and reshepe our civilization 0 that it can never happen again, the men who were killed did not die in vain. But if we can't—well, then we| might as well admit that every man who was killed be- *, tween 1914 and 1918 was robbed of his life for no reason at all. NO CRIME “WAVE” ‘There is no “crime wave” and juvenile delinquents are not increasing in numbers, declares Dr. G. W. Kirchwey, former warden of Sing Sing prison, and he has the fig- ures to sustain his assertions. It is the belief of Dr. Kirchwey that the universal belief that crime is increasing is an obsession, a fixed emotional state, which the new psychologists vl a “complex.” The belief is contradicted Ly accurate sta- tistics. What should disturb the nation, according to this @uthority on penology, is not an imagined increase of rime, but the indubitable continuance of it. If crime Would abate temporarily there would be more time for Preventive work—for getting at the causes of crime. It is readily to be seen that the public might acquire the impression that crime was increasing from the more @aring methods now employed by some criminals and from the sensational uses made of the automobiles by the modern criminal. Eliminate liquor law violations and other recently created misdemeanors and one can sce at Once that crime actually is on the wane. Dr. Kirchwey says there is no reason or excuse for | mupposing that boys and girls are any worse today then “they always were, the probabilities being that they aver- ‘age better now than ever before. Since juvenile courts have been established generally ‘throughout the nation many have noted that what were childish pranks now constitute sufficient grounds to the child into the juvenile courts. When the rural fills his blouse and pants pockets from Farmer Brown's apple trees it is play. When the city boy ches an apple from Tony's fruit stand it is larceny. 4s difficult to compare crime conditions of two gen- PROGRESS IN AVIATION Programs which the National Aeronautical as- airplane here, there must be no further delay in de- veloping aviation to its fullest possibilities. From every angle the interests of the nation demand a more aggres- sive policy in aeronautical development. | PSEUDONYMS PASSE The custom of writing under a nom de plume, once so commonly practiced by literary people, scems to have been almost wholly discarded by this generation. Only those thoroughly acquainted with today’s literary output ican name even ome modern author writing under a Pseudonym. F When “Josiah Allen's Wife” died it was the passing of the last of the famous users of a pen name. In her case, as with a host of other humorists from John Phoenix to Mark Twain, the pen name served as the mask. Time was when almost every humorist resorted ito some such eppellation. Then flourished M. Quad, | Fitznoodie, Petroleum V. Nasby and Spoopendyke—Stan- |ley Huntley of the old Tribune. | England, perhaps, set this literary fashion with “Boz” and “Michael Angelo Titmarsh, ; few sturdy souls like Eugene Ficld scorned convention | and jested over their own signatures. | Nor was the case markedly different. at that time, | among Producers of serious fiction. In this group the jshelter of the assumed name appealed abcve all to wom- jen. George Eliot, George Sand, John Oliver Hobbes and Charles Egbert Craddock were all living at that time ‘and all writing under what had originally been the mask of masculinity. “The Duchess” and “Ouida” confessed their sex but screened their identity. This generation |¢an show no such list of popular women authors employ- ‘ing the pseudonym. The nom de plume once appealed to feminine writers | because of the belief that a masculine name on the title | page conferred a better chance of success and spared the writer of having her private life disturbed. Men adopted the nom de plume to conceal their identity or |t0 preserve the general atmosphere of the book. Some {may have fancied it in keeping with the rite of literary creation to create a second self serving as a medium be- |tween them and the world. CARLYLE’S CRITICISM Thomas Carlyle wrote scathingly of the way the read- ling public with avidity seizes upon the latest scandal jCarlyle calls tt the evidence of a small mind, and we i think he is exactly right. Metropolitan newspapers are the greatest offenders in i {catering to the lower minds of the community by so |doing. ’ Legitimate information about one’s neighbors, such as the erection of a new barn, the births, the marriages and jdeaths in our own community are wholesome and are outside of the realm of impertinent curiosity, which drew ithe great Thomas’ wrath. These are the main items carried by smaller city papers, along with straight con- structive matter like the doings of the chamber of com- ‘merce and the other Public bodies and officials. They do not descend to the tattling of private scandals, or at {least when they do one soon sees another newspaper for sale and another editor seeking new fields, PROSPERITY Savinzs deposits have risen this year to the stagger- ing total of $28,400,000,000. The increase over 1928 was $2,300,000,000 which bankers say is the greatest gain in {savings in any twelve months on record. The fact that savings deposits increased this year in 45 jot the 48 states indicates the most widespread Prosper- jity since the depression of 1920. And the three states showing a decrease may have merely switched their savings into other investments, making it appear on the {Surface that they had less money to save, whereas they jmay have had more. A nation whose savings have increased 169.3 per cent fear economically. An inquircr wants to know why the standard piano jhas 88 notes.

PER TAP ERE Cnet nea a eR, Editorial Comment —_—_——————— THE GERMAN REPUBLIC (Washington Star) The German Republic is ten years old. It celebrated its tenth anniversary August 11. The “republicans” staged demonstration in Berlin which indicated a growing respect and affection for the form of govern- ment which came to Germany, not as an actual result of internal upheaval, but rather as the result of a disastrous international war, into which the German people were led by former Kaiser Wilhelm. The republican form of gov- ernment was expedient after. the close of the World war. It was quite clear that the reigning family of Germany was not to be allowed to continue to reign; that the Allies would never agree to such a proposition. Indeed, there ms talk of Gealing rather summarily with the former aiser. But while the republican form of government in Ger- many has in @ measure becn a symbol of defeat, it has taken on a far more important meaning for the people of Germany. Under that form of government the Ger- man people have arisen, have fought their way out of the slough of debt, depression and despair which fol- lowed in the wake of the war. They have built up again their industries. They have achieved notable successes in many lines, with their lighter-than-air ships and with thelr new acean shipping. And under their republican government the Germans are about to obtain a new ad- justment of reparations which will benefit them and their country and at the same time they will see their soil free of foreign armies.

With all the tumult and shouting about divorce, its ev its causes, from it, it is at least a change to hear Owen Johnson, the jopine that divorce may be a great blessing as well as a curse, and that jas many divorces may be made in jheaven as marriages. ee OUR WAY BEST He says that our American tra- {dition whieh assumes that when love !gocs a marriage is blasted is as {as Europe's idea which assumes that ‘needs and which no more expects a jand mama quarrel than it expects /the millennium, Johnson pleads, too, as do so many modern social reformers, for a legal countenance to amicable di- vorce, the agreement to disagree. He points out that divorces obtained in this way are now illegal, that one 1 partner must publicly com- against the other and make other contest the complaint, which is all wrong. BETTER SECOND ONE The author favors easier divorce, believing that if people do not feel eternally bound to one another they are not so apt to rebel and strain at the leash. He says that second marriages following divorce are almost invari- ably happy because the participants have gone through their trainin; school. Perhaps some day all this talk about divorce, its cause and cure, its evils and benefits, will get qomorthere: To date it’s mostly all talk, ee.

She fussed j before the mirror 20 times a day and wore the new realization of her icharms like an unpleasant varnish. She stopped going to basketball prac- | tice and trusted to her bluff to get her in class recitations. Her mother watched the new de- | velopment with misgivings.

It is a matter] @ ! oH CAUSES OF DIZZINESS The most common cause of dizzi- ness is from biliousness and autoin- toxication. All of the blood of the body makes a complete circuit of the body every few minutes. As the blood passes around the intestines and through the liver, it picks up bodily wastes and impurities which the body attempts to eliminate through other channels. However, before such complete elimination takes place, the same blood passes through the brain and other parts of the nervous system, and when this bloodstream is not pure, a partial poisoning takes place through all of the tissues through which the blood is temporarily pass- ing. This ordinarily does not affect one to any noticeable degree, but those who have an extra amount of toxemia will suffer from spells where waves of toxemia will flood the brain and proguce dizziness. If the gall-bladder is stuffed up and does not function properly, or if congestion has developed in the liver, the same kind of dizzy spells will occur. Catarrh of the inner ear will often upset the balancing fluid which is contained in the semi-circular canals of the car, and this will cause a cer- tain kind of disturbance of the bal- ancing powers of the body. Those who have ringing in the ears because of catarrh are usually bothered by this dizziness. Some people who are habitually bothered with dizzy spells will find that their dizzy spells come from de- fective vision which can be corrected by properly fitted glasses. If one be- in a moving train, it is a sure sign {that he requires glasses, or needs to have their lenses changed. Any chronic disease in the body can so upset the normal flow of nerv- ous energy as to produce dizziness. With women, a misplacement of the womb or pressure upon the ovaries from prolapsed organs will produce dizziness and nausea which cannot be cured until the faulty position of these organs is corrected. One who suffers from either too high blood Pressure or too low blood pressure will usually be troubled with waves of dizziness when he gets out of bed or gets up from a chair suddenly. With jhigh blood pressure, such didziness can be quickly overcome as soon as \the blood pressure is reduced to the |normal. Where low blood pressure exists, it will take a much longer time {to overcome this difficulty, as a long cash older and more sophisticated than jtime is usually required to build the strength and blood pressure up to normal. “Don't do anything yourself that somebody else can do for you."—Ex- President Calvin Coolidge. ee ® “It is far better to have small con- gregations engaged in true worship than large congregations being re- ligiously entertained.—Archbishop of York, * * * “The only really safe place for the young men or old is in the grave."— Edward McShane Waits, president Texas Christian University. * * * “The farmer who produces products of whitch we have not a surplus is en- titled under the protective system to duties which will place him upon an economic equality with other indus- tries."—Senator William E.
