EAR, SWEET GIRL: (This business of writing you three times @ week, in addition to all my work, troubles, responsibilties and other distractions is an unconscionable nuisance, but if I don’t do it I suppose you'll cry yourself sick while I'm away and talk me woozy about it when I get back. So here goes!) Arrived O. K. after a pleasant trip. (This doesn’t mean anything, But it fills up a whole line.) Was thinking of my own dear girl all the way. (This isn’t true, but you expect it.) How I wish I never had to leave you \for these miserable business trips. (Still, a little vacation now and them does give life pep and break the monotony of home cooking.) 2 ‘The scenery en route was wonderful—so they say. (But as I slept half the way and “sat in” at a game of poker in the smoking car the other half, I failed to catch a glimpse of it.) (Now don’t be impatient. I’m chewing my penholder, trying to think of what to say next.) (Oh, yes.) Met a fine fellow on the train who used to be in my cinee One Month. ‘a0! One x MISUNDERSTOOD. HE British newspapers might have given the President more T credit for avoiding the obtrusion of mediatory propo in his address before the League to Enforce Peace. Curiously enough, what seems to have chiefly struck the English editors was the President's assertion that the United States is “will- ing to become a partner in any feasible association of nations” formed to protect the world from “every disturbance of its peace that has ite origin in aggression and disregard of the rights of peoples and natione.” Aha! cries the Manchester Guardian, “twenty-one months of war have done much to undermine even the rooted American aversion from alliances and leagues.” Wherein? This country’s feeling toward alliances as Europe hes hitherto understood and practiced them is what it has always Tgen. We have no use for entanglements that make us somebody's friend in order that under certain contingencies we shall automati- ally become somebody else's foe. But a league of civilized nations to keep the peace of the world is no more like an alliance of the above sort than a municipal police force is like a gunmen’s gang. Until the difference becomes entirely apparent to European minds we fear there can be no “feasible association” for the enforce- ment of peace into which Uncle Sam can safely or conscientiously enter. ot JAMES J. HILL. NE of the great, stalwart personal forces in the country’s devel- opment was James J. Hill. His life story is the ever-inspiring record of the young man who began with nothing but felt it in him to do much. In his boyhood he determined to be a great surgeon. The prepara ion necessary for that career was denied him. He took the next chance thet came. Grocer’s “help,” steamship company’s clerk, station master, rail- road manager, projector of traffic routes, developer of @ continent, organizer of intercontinental trade—the progress was masterful, inevitable. Through it all and to the end he saw and dealt with things, not eymbols. His imagination was never that of the financier who plays with values he has not created and juggles wealth which somebody ‘lee has earned. James J. Hill thought not in figures but in farms ane grain elevators and loaded freight trains and mighty steamships | Man { t earrying close-packed cargoes.

For the 1,776,534 portions of food sold to school children in two boroughs during the current school year the children paid $23,667. This covered the cost of the food and its preparation. It needs little thought to grasp the desirability of providing hot soup cnilk and other nourishing food for underfed children during the school day. Many boys and girls who live far away or whose mothers are at work can have no hot food at home during the noon hour. For anaemic children or those predisposed to tubercular troubles plenty of good food at regular intervals may mean the saving of life. Moreover, children who learn to know and like simple, whole- some food at school are more than likely to raise the standards of diet at home. Before another term opens one hundred schools in New York City will have the penny lunch service, Targe central distributing kitchens are taking the place of the smaller school kitchens. The whole system is being organized and extended with scientific preci The Evening World found the penny school lunch in small and tentative beginnings. Well-direeted effort has already made it a recognized adjunct of the public schools and a most important aid to public health. 2 ++ - The forty-ninth observance of Memorial Day, Fortunate the nation that can mourn its heroes amid a unity and peace for which they did not die in vain.
