As can be readily understood it is a matter that ought to be decided not only right but with a due regard for the fu- ture relationship of the meighboring countries. It isn’t by any means a new situation. Sweden was never satisfied with Russian control of the islands any more than it would have been to have any other country in possession. They are right at its front door, nearer to it than they are to Finland and have a strategic position relative to the gulf of Bothnia. ith the idea of working to bring about peaceful conditions the league is going, to have an - carly chance to show what it can do but Americans are glad that they are not in- volved in a purely European disputé and that they cannot be expected to back up the decision.

Such figures explain to a meet i " | big ma- degres the Increase that s being shown | in the number of youthful criminals and | a most horrible it picture for the future permitted to continue, THE ALAND ISLANDS, Much time has already been used in trying 1o reach an agreement as to what will be done with the Aland islands, whether they wili be made a part of Sweden or whether they will be Finnish erritory. They are near to both, were ormeriy Swedish territory until taken rom that country by Ruseia many years 1go. Finland now lays claim to them nasmuch as they are close to Finland ind considered a part of what was taken rom Russia. The islands are so loeated that they would be a serious menace to Sweden if enother and unfriendly nation should ‘ortity them. Whatever fortifications ihere were on them long ago have dis- ippeared and In recent years therc has seen an agreement that they should net. s fortified. The claims of the two mations to the islands are now before the council of league of nations. Not only they. e rest of the world, is interested o know what they are going to do with hem. It would seem to be 1 matter which might well be determined in ac- sordance with the facts. The legitimacy of the claims ought to be reasonably easy to pass wpon, but' it will remain to be seen whether those concerned agreed to abide by the decision, what- ever it may be, or whether the league must siaaf Peady o euferge suoh decis- AVOIDING WAR. Possibly Governor Cox thinks that, the people are going to swallow the claim that he is making to the effect that his election will result in keeping the coun- try out of future wars. That assertion is based upon the assurance he gives that if elected he will proceed at once to bring about a ratification of the trea- ty with the league of nations, which President Wilson sought with such de- termination to have ratified but which the senate refused to do under the claim that the interests of America were para- mount to those of a league of nations. Mr. Cox seems to be endeavoring to give the people the impression that he will let them, if elected, adopt for him the same slogan “He kept us out of war” that was used in connection with the campaign four years ago. How we were kept out of the war only to be plunged in way over our heads is all too well known. Even at the time it was well understood at what sacrifice We were being kept out of the war and now it is not to be supposed that in view of all the efperience we have had and all that has been pointed out regarding the league of nations that the talk about keeping us out of war is going to be swallowed by the American people. In this cofnection Chajrman Hays of the republican national committee well said the other day that he would leave it to the American women to say whether they were willing to endorse the league of pations and make it possible for the American boys to be called into service to pariigpate in wars throughout the world. } Senator Harding isn't laying claim to keeping us out of war but he main- tains that we should support our own Constitution before disregarding it and plunging into entangling alliances, and it is from such an attitude and such a course that it can be expected that war! will be kent at the very minimum. We certainly cannot think of transferring to the league rights which are specially given to congress, THE LEVIATHAN. What is going to be done with the Leviathan? is a question that many more than government authorities have reason to ask today. - This great ocean liner, the largest steamship afioat, has been lying for the past ten months at her wharf under the care of a partial crew and With only .a part of such at- tention as it ought to have received given to it. That it is rapidly deterio- rating is recdily admitted. The big ship which cost $15,000 000 was taken over by this country during the war. Used as a transport it did wonderful service and when the war ended it was docked. It was altered over to suit the require- ments as a transport and it is estimated that the changes that will be necessi- tated in order to reconvert it into a pas- senger carrying liner would require somewnere in the neighborhood of eight million. It is one of the vessels built to outdistance in size another. Its size is such as to make it less desirable than a smaller ship hence the inability to get ywhere near an offer that really rep- resents the money that has been ex- pended upon it. Efforts to sell the liner have made. The most favorable offer was blocked by legal action, since which tim» nothing approximating the figure has Jgen secured, while It has been rust- ing away ‘at its wharf in Hoboken. As it stands today it is going from bad to worse at a large daily expense to the government. The government naturally doesn't feel like refitting the ship inasmuch as it is fast getting out of the shipbuilding bus- iness. Tt doesn't feel like sacrificing the noble ship for a song. vet every day that there is a delay In disposing of it and getting it headed for a different ex- istence it is becoming a greater burden and beceming a poorer ship. is no small proposition to operate such a ship and make it pay though a fieet of ships that would represent mo greater an in- vectment would be profitatle. been EDITORIAL NOTES.

This flour, kept in a jar or small pail, is fine for aill kinds of pastry and nothing is lost. HOME LIGHTING. Instead of a deep shade the new elec- trolier has a shield or screen in front of the light, and while the light is complete- ly protected so that no glare reaches the {eves of any one near it the open back of the screen permits the electric bulb to throw a very good light on walls and ceiling. It is a most artistic method of indirect lighting and these new lamps are charm- ing for boudoirs, drawing rooms or hall consoles. HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

When the two houses effected their so-called ratification on Tuesday the amendment as transmitted from Wash- ington was not officially in their pos- session and the whole proceeding was undoubtedly void.

To make boys neat about their hair buy each one a littie comb, which they can carry in their pockets, and teach them to fold up each article of clothing every night and lay them in a neat pile for next morning. This habit once formed will never leave a person. Children who have done this since they came to understanding will never neglect it. POINTS ON FRYING. To prevent the unpleasant odor grease gives off while it is heating, heat 1t quickly. Do not set your pan of gréasz on the back of the stove to heat slowly while you are preparing the food that is to be fried. Get the eroquettes or cut- ! lets or whatever you may making righ first. Then put your grease right over the fire and as soon as it is hot enough put in the articles to be cooked. ‘The fat will tarow off no odor if handled in this way. 200 women are employed or engines for farm tractors.

The d&is- ability feature called for a disbursement last year more than twice as great as In 1818, and this item may be expectad to increase annually hereafter. Contrary to a popular miseconception, somewhat prevalent ‘total di . within the meaning of & life insyrance contract, does net mean disability due to accidental injuries. Out of 803 total disability cases approved by one of the large life insurance companics, only 30 were based on accidentai cause—less than 4 per cent! The chief contributor of total dimabii~ ity, judged by the company's experi=nes, is a cause which the average individual would hardly consider, viz: sis. Group insurance, the insuring of the employes of industrial and commereal organizations in great groups, under contracts running for a year, is furnish- ing many millions to the presert sum total of Ilife insuramce writings. Tt would be difficult to set a limit on the demand for this ferm of life insurance. In 1919 four companies wrote $323,000,- 000 of insurance on this plan alone.
