But, knowing that the amend- ment was going down to defeat, they cast their votes for it, to “keep their records straight.” It would be an excellent idea, as a guide for the people in the next election, if every senator and every representative could be placed on record, not by vote, but by a speech on the floor of the senate and the house, as to just how he stood on the child labor question. Thrift Week HE Star's Thrift Contest, just closed, was one of the most profitable en- terprises that this newspaper has ever conducted — profitable because it was helpful to our readers and, incidentally, to the Thrift Editor, who enjoyed every let- ter and gained some valuable ideas on saving money. It is easy to say what one should do, but it is a lot more helpful to relate what one has done. That’s why The Star’s con- test was successful. It laid stress on ac- tual experiences in stopping household financial leaks. ; The hundreds of letters piled high on the Thrift Editor’s desk describe inci- dents of hardship, fortitude and clever management sufficient to fill a book of fascinating personal adventures on the highway to Success. The Star regrets it could not publish all the letters, but it is deeply grateful to those persons who wrote them. To be nble to set down on paper the methods one has successfully employed to pull one’s self out of the mire is a satisfying job in itself, so all who participated may feel well repaid for their efforts. for mucl it on in measure solons to ar Morthland, Miss two others were flat-footedly the Cause of Accidents RAFFIC is the most serious problem ‘1 of large cities. And it is becoming perilous even in small communities and the open country. Over 700,000 Americans a year are killed or seriously injured in accidents on streets and highways. The dead alone total about 23,000 a year. The toll of both deaths and accidents includes roughly one in every 150 Americans yearly. * The majority of these accidents are due to carelessness. i ee from upholstery? ‘A.

This estimated by Dr. H, A. Spoehr, California scientist. Most of this power goes to waste. In time man will harness it to do a lot of his work. the om mason on Speed Marvel E WONDER how Paavo Nurmi “does it.” The marvelous Finn, acclaimed as the greatest runner of all time, seems to break two or three world records every time he races, It may be that track athletes pay too much attention to “form.” Nurmi, say the stylists, lacks true form. He swings his body; he runs flat-footed; he even carries a watch and times his pace. Could it not be that Nurmi’s secret of success is his very disregard of the theories | laid down by generations of trainers, and | a development along lines laid down by Nurmi?

It went 24 whole days without a single murder; something that had never happened before. And yet, Los Angeles is at Jeast as virtuous as other cities. It has been bersted as more 50, by those who think “chemical purity” a sin. London, with more population than all California, and half a dozen other Western states be- sides, would regard a murder every three weks with horror. And London is far wickeder than Los Angeles. The con- trast challenges America with a question whose answer we may not know—but which we should try to find out. The Call Isn’t All 1k: is easy for the senate to “authorize and request” the president to call a disarmament conference, but the president's part is far harder. He has first to find out whether the invita- tion would be accepted. And that is a matter, not of Ameri ean, but of British and French politics. The league of nations has al- ready tentatively proposed one conference, which Britain is anxious to avoid for precisely the reasons which move France to favor it. Until England and France are both ready to ac- cept our invitation, it would be futile to issue it. You cannot disarm the world by leaving out precisely the two powers that have most of the armament.
