Therefore, though all nations might agree on the limitation (elimination) of gas from warfare yvet there would be no way to enforce such an agreement.” ! Mr. Babson refers to this fact of the possibllity of manufacturing and star- ing gas for war uses without«the knowledge of the rest of the world as distinguished from the building of capital ships or even submarines. His conclusion is, therefore, that the only way by which an agreement regard- ing gas could bhe made to bring re- sults looking toward peace would be HEART DIS There were 664 morc deaths from heart New York city 1921 than in the year previous, ac- cording to Health Commissioner Cope- land. He declares that people of that city are rushing into it, that they run up the'subway stairs, hurry from thetr homes and back again, stand on trans- portation lines twice as often as they sit down and are nervous even when in repose. Lven tainment is taken on a rush. This is not a trivial matter which may be dismissed with the comment that the health commissioner is mere- ly theorizing and that there is no S discase in in PERCALES 36 inches wide, of good quality, in a neat assortment of stripes and fig- ures.

Such is not the case. The whole idea in securing a man of Mr. Hays' calibre to head the industry is to put it in new form, according to high of- ficials of the producers organization, to the end that the old waste and in- efficiency will be done away.with. It is expected the industry will take its proper place among others of which the country is proud, standing on a basis of sound, wise policies. FRANCE AND ENGLAND. The fact that the Lord Northcliffe press has announced its abandonment of sympathy with French nationalists is indicative of the distance to which the feeling in England has gone against the replacing of Briand by Poincare. The latter's suggestion to substitute for the agreement between France and England proposed at the Cannes conference a new agreement to enforce the terms of the treaty of Versallles, has been rejected by Lloyd George. Such a compact would be nothing more than a pledge by Eng- land to stand behind France in any move such as that contemplated not long ago, of advancing into the Ruhr district and compelling by force of arms, obedience to the terms of the treaty. The adoptlon of such agreement by England would com- mit her to a policy of belligerency absolutely at variance with the ldnn‘ which, it {8 hoped, has predominated at the Washington conference. Again the closeness of the relation between the Cannes conference, now adjourned, the situ- ation and the Washington conference is seen. It may be said that there could remain little of the spirit of a desire for universal disarmament and peate which inspired the Washington conference, if two of the most portant powers which sent delegates to it, should straightway form an al- lance, as suggested by which could but result in a threat of if not active participation in military activities.

For this reason it was through the spiritual regeneration of the nations—through the general adoption and reliance upon good faith and honesty of intention. It is a far cry from a study of finan- clal statistics to a contemplation of the spiritual aspect of a matter. As previously pointed out here there ic a general feeling, not only in regard to the' manufacture and use of gas, but concerning all other agreements, that much of their value is destroyed when the practical phrase “All's fair in love and war,” is considered. What good may be seen in agreements between nations which do not provide for forci- ble enforcement if one of the parties to them violates their provisions, is the question asked. Mr. Babson recognizes the potency of the query especially in regard to poison gas. He declares that the dele- gates came to Washington to scoff and that they have remained to pray, seeking a general rehabilitation of Europe through spiritual renaissance such as that of three hundred years ago. = It is possible to agree with Mr. Bab- son's suggestion; in does there lie:such a promising path. The “spiritual renovation” may not come clad in the clothing of orthodox no other way religion, but the greatest hope lies in | the changed spirit of nations indicat- ed. “IT MIGHT HAVE B A New DBritain markable statement yesterday that the bright sunlight, the almost spring-like beauty of the midday, made him sad reminded him the phrase: “Tt might have been.” man made a re- and of tragic Pressed for an explanation he seem- ed hesitant, feartng, apparently, that his thoughts would sound too didactic coming from a whose last thought v The sunlight, the warmth, made him feel as though person to preach he he said had jumped over the rest of the winter | enjoying the first He said spring had come than he had not progr honestly painful to him.

This is all very true, but the need of intervals between periods of quick, energetic action, periods of re- laxation, rest, is vital. There is a man in this city who took such a period of relaxation Christmas day. It was a particularly beneficial sort of a rest, although the thought which ceived because he was worrying about his health. Some time ago this man adopted a little girl under pathetic circumstances. He is of but moderate means, but her unhappy lot appealed to him and his wife. Last Christmas he asked the lit- tle girl what she would like best.

ENVY (N. Y. Times Magazine Section) INVY: A TALE. By Ernest von Wil- denbruch. Authorized translation hy Elise Traut. Boston: The Four Seas Company. $2. It is a didactic tale of novelette {cngth and consistency that is present- cd in this authorized translation intro- ducing a German author to American readers. Its theme is the influence upon childish hearts and minds of those dark emotions—'resentment, hatred and envy. It is told in the first person and begins with the seeing by the narrator of a symbolic picture in a church, which shows a man's figure engulfed in flames, while serpents sting him and agony claims him for her own, the inscription proclaiming that all this is the result of envy. The painting reminds the narrator of a man he has known in another part of Germany, Old Graumann, whose story he had learned from the old man himself, and he goes on to re- llate the circumstances under which | he had made the acquaintance of the | old recluse, to describe him and his | surroundings and to tell of the some- what contemptuous repute in which he was held. Then he comes to the {story of the old man's:childhood and its influence upon all the rest of his, jife and this, which makes haif the length of the tale, he allows Old Graumann to tell in his own words. It brings out the Insidious influence | upon his own character of the envy Ihe had felt as a child of his younger Ibrother, who, always frailer than he | |and finally becoming an invalid, re- ceived, it seemed to him, more aften- | tion from their parents than did he.

BURGLARY AND HOLD-UP INSURANCE UP IN CHICAGO Chicago, Jan. 16.—Insurance com- panies today announced an increase, of 50 per cent. in the rates for bur- glary and theft insurance in Chicago.
