As a mere StOras¢ wire- Vhouse for facts, beliefs. impressions He stated thatithe human mind is an unsatisiaciory, plant. It is too liable to error and too limited in its capacity. But. on the fother side, when it is used as a ma- cerator of information, a molding. de veloping, forming and reforming mechanism it does its best work. To 'do that work it must possess the qualities of boldaess, originality, con fidence. It must be capable of sus- {tained and well directed effort. ! "So, to the young men and women in cap and gown, gathered here and lon a thousand other platforms to re- ceive the testimonies that they have completed their allotted academic courses.

FOLLY FOR AMERICA TO DISARM FIRST, | SAYS MR. WEEKS‘ (Continued from First Page.) 1 the United States during the world war served the purpose for which it was drafted, Mr. Weeks said, but he contended that & draft law of much broader scope should be adopted if another conflict were to come upon the nation. Such a law should not only apply to those who fizht, hel said, but to every citizen engaged in any activity related to the conduct | of hostilities; every citizen within a presoribed age should be assigned to the activity for which he is best fitted and the resources of the coun- try should be at the immediate serv- ico of the government without excep- n. “If all men were honest,” the secre- tary concluded, “there would be no necessity for maintaining a police force. Iif all nations were disinter- ested, did not covet that which be- longeth to others, and especially did not seek to promote their own selfish advantage at the expense of other nations, there would be little neces- sity for maintaining an Army. But all men are not law-abiding and all nations are not unselfish, and, there- fore, we need policemen and armies. Others May Crave Our Wealth. “In many cases, in some parts of the world, there are developing large excesses of population requiring ex- pansion of territory.

C. $200,000 TO START NEW WATER WORKS (Continued from First Page.) had a hearing before the agriculture commiftee, of which he is chairman. Senator King insisted that he would not_vote to commit Congress to a project which would cost ultimately from $44,000,000 to $60,000,000 without its first having been considered by a committee of the Senate. He asked if Senator Wadsworth of the military affairs committee had looked into the power project and whether he was willing to sponsor the Norris amend- ment. Senator Wadsworth replied that the committee had not looked into it. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts ex- pressed the opinion that it would do little good for a congressional com- mittee to spend its time poring over a technical report made by Army en- gineers. It would be better to decide, he said. whether it was wise to make this expenditure at this time. Favor Adoption. Senator Walsh of Montana and Sen- ator Dial of South Carolina both spoke in favor of the adoption of the Nor- ris amendment. Senator Dial sug- gested that the work could not be carried on at an appreciable decrease lin the estimated cost. He said that the project would serve as a model to be shown visitors in Washington and thereby promote water-power devel- opment generally. At this point Sen- ator King of Utah made a point of order against the Norris amendment on the ground that the proposed ap- propriation had not been estimated for in accordance with the rulea PUTS SERVICE MEN FIRST.

BACK STATE RIGHTS, GRADUATES URGED Senator -Reed Addresses Commencement of National University Law School. Graduates of the National Universi- ty Law School were urged by Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, at com- mencement exercises last night at Central High School. to champion the cause of local self-government, which he described as “the essence of liberty and the soul of democracy.” He also voiced a warning against the con- centration of governmental power, which, he said, is ever growing and is a menace threatening the nation. ‘Every invasion of our constitu- tional pricipales comes wearing the guise of some particular benefi said. “Only a small percentage of our people gives serious thought to the affairs of our government. The major- ity is not indifferent, but people are | careless because they believe no real harm can come to our institutions. Under such circumstances it becomes possible to impose a forced construc- tion of the Constitution which will excuse the particular centralization of federal power that is advocated at the moment.

The annual piano recital of Miss L. Lieberman's pupils is an event in musical circles, hence the gold ball- room of the Lafayette Hotel was filled with music lovers last night who enjoyed a succession of remark- able performances by her advanced class. The entertainment was notable | not oanly because of the artistic work i of ine performers, but for the exhibi- | tion of memorization displayed by a! number of the players, who executed with complete confidence long selec- tions replete with difficult passages. Two noveltics were fontures — a ! Spanish legend, played for the} first time in this country. and a solo executed wholly with the left hand. poser to represent the outbreak of revolutionary unrest, with a brief| period of subsidence. It was received | with pronounced favor. The solo with | the left hand was played by Miss Elizabeth Paravano, and only byl watching could one detect that both; hands were not used. The remark- able feat was heartily applauded. At the close of the program New- bold Noyes presented The Star scholarship, founded by his grand- father, the late Crosby S. Noyes, and Hosea' B. Mouiton congratulated the class upon the excellence of its work. The scholarship is possessed by a pupil for only one year unless un- usual progress has been shown. This year Miss Rosa Floria displayed such exceptional ability that the scholar- ship was awarded her for the second successive year. Miss Catherine Para- no also demonstrated such an ad- vance in her work that Miss Lieber- man awarded her a scholarship. She also won a gold medal. Miss Blanche Acher. Miss Evangeline Paravano and Miss Ella Bryan also received awards for excellence, Miss Bryan being es- pecially rewarded for her feats of memorization. She has had only five months' tuition.
