We have had much heat. Perhaps the people will now supply some light. Be that as it may, the American Peace Award is there as a channel through which the people can express themselves, and alreadv the response that has come shows that they recog- nized the opportunity immediately it offered them. tne American Peace Award rests nm an actual condition of public “sentiment as ascertained through a thorough research made at my be- hest some six months ago, This in- quiry was conducted by a hithert> unused method: it penetrated into every state of the Union, and its technique was such that I could safely rely upon the information it brought me. ‘The instinct which led me to make this researth is one present with every fair minded man who has stud- fed recent, public sentiment and has taken pains by one way or another, to find out that sentiment at close range: that thére has been a decided reversal of public opinion with regard to the position which the United States should take in Its policy of foreign relations, Three years ago there was a strong feeling against the United States taking part in any way in the settlement of world prob- tems today there is an equally strong wurrent toward the adoption of some plan which will solve the question. The widespread sentiment which my research brought to the surface was naturally unexpressed, for the very good reason that there was no ehannel its expression. Many a clear- headed thinking man, who had quietly watched the compl'cations of the ques- tion for three years, had arrived at certain conclus'ons—opinions that were calm and worthy of thought be- cause they had been reached in quiet thinking, removed from the political atmosphere. I saw at once the immediate need to provide a channel through which this unexpressed public sentiment could flow together and crystallize into something concrete and definite, and to insure for that crystallized sentiment a hearing where it cou’d be translated into a practical working plan. It is only the man out of touch with the great public who says that the American people have not thought about this ques'on of foreign relations. I found the people had, in far greater numbers than I had dreameC, thought a great deal about it. Moreover, they were distinctly disappointed at the way the matter had been thus far handled. But where and to whom were they going ‘send their thoughts? Who had _ Provided a channol which they could depend upon to lead sumewhere? One phase of the public moot was clearly evident: it was not in any attempt to fe trifled with. What- ever the channe] was provided must be straightforward, and it would have to be obvious!y so. simple and direct The insistence in every case was that if a channel were provided it should be absolutely away from any political considerations, and that it should be independent of any relation to the League of Nations. Not that there was wide or pronounced oppo- sition to the League, but the people apparently felt the need of a channel entirely unblased and unrelated to what. had gone before. It was as if they said: ‘‘We can settle this, but it must be In our way.” A Yery significantly strong feeling existed and was very widely and vig- orously expressed, that the people de- slred ‘to have a more direct hand in such matte! hi They wanted 30x3 30x34 32x34 31x4 32x4 33x4 34x4 34x44 33x5 37x5 NY LOFFERED $100,000 FORA WORKABLE PEACE PLANE, W.

They seemed to de- sire legislation created of their initia- tive. “We want to be asked what we think,” was a universal phrase, “before important questions such as this are legislated upon.” ‘With a knowledge of this condition ot a public sentiment, only waiting to be asked to express itself, the idea of going directly to the people with a channel was naturally a very simple conclusion, Hence the American Peace Award, affording exactly the avenue asked for, independwmt of politics, with no relation in favor of or opposition to the Covenant of the League of Nations: an independent forum, in other words, The money award was introduced, of course, to dramatize the idea; to focus attention upon it. Naturally, there can be no fixed monetary value to a plan which will solve such a problem. The sum of $100,000 was merely settled upon, as might any other sum, as an as- surance of the earnestness of the com- mittee to find a practicab‘e, states- manlike plan, capable of adoption and of obtaining results when adopted. That this js within the possibilities the committee has reason to believe. The award was made only after the most careful thought by orderly minds, extending over a period of months. It is not an overnight Idea: few awards have had their progres- sive stages more carefully thought out and thought through. One thing is certain; the American people are far more alice to this question of an Am- erican foreign po'icy than even some of the keenest publicists have divined or told us. Moreover, they are clear- ly and d’stinct'y nettled at the way in which the matter has, to use a con- stantly recurring phrase been “mud- died.” With all political considera- tions and personal questions elim'n- ated, and the various partial compli- cations lost sight of, it is very likely that the accepted p'an may be one of surprising s'mplicity—The foregoing article from the pen of Edward W.

CHARLES HEARTFIELD, W HO TELL WHY DELICATESSENS New York, Aug. 11.—Flapper bridesman. Only a few days ago one of the grocery establishments are killing the corner grocery and putting. delicatessen keepers in Mis- onaires’ Row. The old-fashioned housewife, who used to cook three square meals a day and never used canned goods except what she put up herself, is passing. In New York, at least—where there are almost as many delicatessen shops as taxicabs, and grocery stores go out of business almost dally. “Kitchenette apartments are to to blame," say the brides. “Not only young wives, but old ones, too, have the delicatessen hab- it,’ say shopkeepers The modern bride doesn’t spend the @ay over a hot stove. Instead, she works or goes to the movies. And on the way home she stops in at the del'catessen “where she orders two slices of pinky-pink ham, two stuffed mangoes and a pint of potato salad. She and George eat it off the card tab'e most every night.

Practically everyone of these realms is represent- ed in his unusual collection. First with the U. S.

China during her periods of ascend- ency and decline is represented by a bottom fringe, each knotted group of threads belng either red or green— red marking weakness and green de- noting strength of government, Numerous objects done of brass in many designs stand out in the display as Chinese art of real antiquity, since the making of such carved brass ves- sels and containery has been for some time a lost art in that country. A shadow character study done !n embroidery on a background of silk stands out as the most skillfu'ly ex- ecuted pictorial display in the window. Several other pictures, besides large numbers of post cards and intimate photographs of natives and their anese arts, and arms of Moro bandits along with some of the bloody trophies they have yielded fill the window.

Floors of Armstrong’s Linoleum are handsome in appearance, so easy to keep clean, and so much more serviceable than the many felt paper substitutes now being offered by some stores. Why pay a few cents more pad yard for genuine linoleum than for the less durable kinds of floor covering While the original cost of the inferior felt paper substitutes may be a trifle lower, when you consider the much longer service that genuine linoleum will give you the cost per year of a linoleum floor is lower—very much lower. } It is certainly not an inviting prospect to renew your floor after two or three ars, is it? If you use linoleum such as Armstrong’s, you are assured a floor hat will give you years of splendid service. Properly laid, and with the right ea of care, a linoleum floor should outlast the cheaper type three or four es. ' So consider well before investing your money in a new floor.
