(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Two Disarmament Schools Obstacles in the way of decisive ac- tion looking toward promotion of} ‘world peace by disarmament are apt- ly illustrated by current happenings at Geneva. As might have been expected, the| United States is leader of one group which favors disarmament on a plain and simple basis and as quickly as it can be effected. As also might have been expected, France is the chief opponent of the} American policy and has advanced | ‘one of her own which has at its base/ the creation of an international) army, under control of the League of Nations, which would be able to en- force the peace. Passages from speeches to the dis-/ armament conference by the leading spokesmen of the two nations set forth the differences clearly. Ambassador Hugh S. Gibson, for} the United States, said: “Our prob-/ Jem is to establish by honest scrutiny | and agreement the margin that now; exists beyond what is essential for) levery so often is nothing less than & BREWER is Plane over the jungle and made a landing on one of the ancient ter- races that are now being excavated. In the first place, this will be a great help to the archaeologists, as food and other supplies can now be brought in in a fifth of the time for- merly required. But it is even more interesting for the contrast it affords, The Mayan ruins in Central Amer- ica date back into the dark days of pre-Columbian history. When we in- vestigate them we come into contact with the incredibly old. And there, right in the midst of them, lands an ultra-modern “windmill.” Could the twentieth century come into a more 00/ striking juxtaposition with the ghost! of the past? Handshaking Is Out! One action of President Hoover's that ought to win whole-hearted sup- port all over the United States is his recent decision to call off the tradi- tional hand-shaking receptions at the white house on the ground that they “present too great a task for the president at such a time as this.” There can hardly be any argument about the justification of, this action. The president of the United States is one of the busiest and most active men in the world. To expect him to waste his time and exhaust his strength in shaking the hands of sev- eral thousand complete strangers Of course, the visitor to Washing-| ton who gets a chance to shake the! hand of the president has something nice to talk about later. But what of it? Isn't conservation of the presi- dent's strength a bit more important than the gratification of this com- pletely meaningless desire? It May Be Wisdom John N. Garner of Texas, for whom} a boom for the Democratic presiden-| tial nomination has been launched, says he is paying no attention to it because he already has the job of running the house and it is taking up all of his time. Incidentally, a good many Americans seem to think he is doing weil for the country in his pres-| ent position It seems hardly reasonable that al normal American, no matter how| conscientious or how self-sacrificing and patriotic, would be insensible of an opportunity to enter the white house. It may be that Garner feels he is playing good politics by tend- ing strictly to the knitting already before him. If he does, he comes pretty close to being right, for Amer- ica is ready to appreciate that ‘sort of the maintenance of internal order| and the defense of our territorics.; Controlled by prudence, but not by! fear, let us then proceed in a prac-| tical way to reduce armaments to the) leyel to which we are all committed. Andre Tardieu, for France, de-/ clared: “We do not think that there| ean be an effectively organized| League of Nations unless that League! has powers of prevention and repres- sion. We do not believe that there| will be any real peace until we have! a strengthened League. That is why| we wish to implement its covenant by providing the League with the) necessary resources to carry it out.! ‘We are convinced that disarmament] without organization of peace would place an unfair premium upon sheer | numbers and technical ability.” ! | Why the United States and France should hold these so utterly opposite} conceptions of the real objective to be sought in this conference is a matter! of geography, of experience, of living} conditions and of mental outlook. It is not a matter about which there can! be any argument. But for the purposes of this con-) ference it is very apparent that these two conceptions are going to give rise to many arguments. Maxim Litvinoff, head of the Soviet delegation, an-) swered the riddle of how to reconcile them by declaring blandly for total! abolition of all armies, both national and international. But, as one after another of 18 orators from countries| of all dimensions and circumstances) have succeeded each other at the tribune, it has become apparent that, while few are ready to go as far as Prance has boldly proposed, nearly all those who have big neighbors} seem to feel the weight of the argu- ment that complete disarmament will give an advantage to nations with superior technical facilities and large populations. These incline toward] the final setting up of an interna-| tlonal force of some kind, with the| preference going toward the idea of a| big international air fleet which,| from the skies, would at least menace any offending party. A Hollow Victory Two of Chicago's more notorious “public enemies” got a part of what ‘was coming to them the other day when @ federal court imposed stiff fimes and prison sentences on the no- \set up it was decided that Bismarck thing just now. Writing a Luxury Authors really can’t afford to write books these days, according to! remarks made to the National Asso- ciation of Book Publis! ecently by Mrs, Inez Haynes Irwin, president of the Authors’ League of America. The Profits are so small, considering the time and effort involved in producing a book, that many authors have come to look on writing as a luxury. This, of course, is too bad; but, af-j ter all, that has always been more or fess true, and the present is prob- ably not so much worse a time for authors than any other period. It is only the fortunate few who can} really make any appreciable amount of money out of their books; the great majority—including, usually, the finest writers—must class writ- ing as a luxury. Unless they have some inner incentive which is too strong to ignore, they are not likely to stick to it very long.

An extravagant lot they are, or rather we might say reckless. A million dol- lars means as little to them as do a few, for they never earned the money at stake in this huge game of poker which they set up. Perhaps they rea- son that with some forty millions of dollars of indebtedness another mil- lion is not a great deal, and they may be right, but the sad part of the en- tire story is that the million they are betting belongs to the taxpayers of this state, and not to them. When the original enabling act was should be the seat of our state's gov- ernment. Our state has expended a million dollars in the Bank of North Dakota building, the capitol grounds, the Memorial building and other in- vestments. Perhaps another million has been invested in additional homes and hotel facilities, for no reason other than that Bismarck was for all time to be the canital site. Dollars invested in Bismarck are North Da- kota dollars and the people of this h Gilbert Swan New York, Feb. 19.—Good-looking young men, rather than attractive young women, are in greatest demand at the agency which furnishes com- Ppanions for lonely folk in New York. The percentage of lone ladies who wish to step out in trustworthy com- pany, and pay for the privilege, ap- pears to be vastly greater than that of forlorn, companion-seeking gents. And despite unemployment among the white-collar professions, young men who will work at the “host and hostess” business are difficult to ob- tain. Either they do not possess the re- quirements, they cannot give proper references or they balk at the possi- bility of being considered “gigolos.” The references, of course, must be 100 per cent. An agency cannot afford to send out either a young man or woman likely to cause the slightest embar- rassment to a customer. Particularly is this true in the case of the male companions. He must watch his style even if the paying client shows signs of growing romantic. The case of the hostess is even more important. The man who seeks a partner for an eve- ning must have the best of creden- tials. Once he has selected his part- ner for an evening and put up his money, it is understood that the girl is not to be asked her phone number or address.

Hence the necessity of protecting him as well as the girl. For she must not lead him to “gyp” joints or allow him to be “held up” at “take spots.” Once the customer has made his decision, he need merely say, “All right, let's go places.” And the party starts. The reverse is true of the male es- corts. They are, first, presumed to go where their companion wishes. Generally, the decision is up to them and they, too, must know their way around. They must have the ad- dresses of good speaks and danc2 spots and know a certain number of varied places.

When he wrote in school, the school authorities were rigid in their opposition to his left- handed writing, and within a short time he acquired the habit of writ- ing with his right hand. He contin- ued to use the left hand at home, and he also began to stutter. He apparently submitted without resistance to being changed by his sister from a right-handed writer to a left-handed writer, but he strongly both | resented being returned by the school authorities to a right-handed writer.

The own home. hall was hot and stuffy, piled up at tho landings with rubbish awaiting the janitor’s disposition. The house was asleep. Through thin walls she could hear the heavy sound of breathing and even the restless stirrings of the sleepers. At the second floor she 4dentified a terrify- ing buzzing sound as Papa Clancy's snore. She chuckled and pushed on. Halfway between the fourth floor and the fifth she was unpleasantly surprised to see light shining from beneath the living room door of her own apartment. Oh, dear, some- one was still awake! All the way home on the subway she had planned to hop straight into bed and drift off to sleep on the tide of her own glamorous imaginings. She did not want to share those imagin- ings or to discuss her experiences of the day. Now there was no help for it. With a resigned sigh she unlocked the door and stepped into the Rossi- ter living room. Molly Rossiter, bright-eyed and wide-awake, sat at 8 battered mahogany table playing solitaire. Molly's solitaire was the joke of the family. Whenever she was beaten it was her habit to re- arrange the cards and to proceed with the play. By faithfully adher- ing to that system, she never failed to run out all her cards, “I've just beaten old Sol,” she ‘Apnounced innocently as Ellen en- tered, Then she sprang up and ran to Greet her daughter. |, « “Sit down, datling,” she urged. “You look tired to death.

MOLLY ROSSITER, her She wrenched the card free “You should have gone to bed, honey,” Ellen told her, as her tem- porary annoyance faded, “But since you didn’t, what do you want to know especially?” “I couldn't have slept a wink,” Molly protested earnestly, clasping her hands about her bare knees, “I was too anxious to hear about everything—about the dress particu- larly, Did you look beautiful? Where is it?” “It's at Dreamland. I guess I looked all right,” Ellen tackled the questions in reverse order. “Ob, Ellen don’t be so provoking! You aren’t telling me anything! You only said over the phone that Mr. Barclay had lent it to you, ‘What was he like? Was he nice?” eee ND ica understood that Molly wanted to know whether or not Barclay had been personal. Her mother was trembling with eager- ness to share Barclay’s every in- tonation, his every facial expres- sion. What had he done? What had he said?. How had he looked? She wanted to know not only what Ellen bad thought but even what Ellen thought Barclay had thought. In short she was prepared for a sentimental orgy. Ellen could not help being mildly irritated when her mother was in such @ mood. “He was rather nice,” she an- swered listlessly. “Ho's quite old, you know—not likely to be enthust- astic.
