Little Americans or Large Americans ? NEED NOT BE NERVE-RACKING. N Evening World reader suggests that a fre- quent cause of danger in the streets is the variety of ear-splitting warning devices that motor vehicles frighten and disconcert pedestrians a so endanger their lives. 77 The suggestion has been made before and is worth - ing that the way to avoid the dangers of tem- paralysis caused by deafening sirens and ‘king “yipers” is to ‘Yequire a standardized signal which would always be recognized r what it is. 3 ‘With a standardized signal persons who live In city would soon become accustomed to the sig- It would cease to frighten and would put them the alert, | Sooner or later—the sooner the better—New City must have an automobile code.

EN the resignation of Cohen, Gokiman & Co. from the Clothing Manufacturers’ Association lies a _ danger of industrial warfare. The Clothing Manufacturers and the Amalga- mated Clothing Workers are under mutual agree- o to arbitrate differences. The machinery for ‘ tion is in existence. Dr. William M. Lierson has been agreed on as impartial chairman of the - arbitral board. | Dr. Lierson condemns the resignation of Cohen, dan & Co, and says that peaceful and amicable trial relations are impossible ‘as long as either can justly question the good faith of the other.” he firm defends itself and says: “He (the impartial chairman) knows ful! that the combination of week work and tage ‘which has existed in tailor shops of market makes the continuance of the inside sbsolutely impossible.” seems to be an excellent opportunity for Dr. on to try to the fullest the power of publicity opinion in industrial affairs. good reason the public condemned the aw” strikes of last spri The outlaws were fener’ fo stand behind the | “ied: WEN “i cd i agreements made in their name by their representa- tives, There is a close analogy between a union of employees and an association of employers. Public opinion should be as strongly opposed to agreement- breaking employers as to agreement-breaking em- ployees. “Outlawry” ts outlawry on either side. On the other hand, the withdrawing firm charges members of the Amalgamated with “sabotage,” a serious offense if proved. Is it not the place of the impartial chairman to give an impartial report of the disagreement? If the unions are guilty then Cohen, Goldman & Co, have a measure of justification for their stand, even though it would seem that the firm having made an agreement to arbitrate should stick to that agree ment until the whole association was ready to with draw, In any case the public ought to know the full facts. Dr. Lierson is not a representative of the public, but this seems to be an instance in which he should act on behalf of the public. r WHERE ARE THEY? aed tte Seepage phar saben League issue printed in The World yesterday, Goy. Cox laid stress on the point that he is not ar- raigning the Republican Party as a whole for its hostile attitude toward the League of Nations. The Republican Party as a whole has no such attitude. Gov. Cox is fighting only that section of the Re- publican Party which has made the League the butt of party politics, ‘ His denunciation is for that Senatorial oligarchy which has seized the leadership and command of the Republican Party and which “not only deserves the condemnation of the American people for what it has done to the civilization of the world,” but de- serves also repudiation from a large part of the Republican Party itself. The Democratic candidate says; “The time has come to stop playing party politics with the peace treaty. I believe we have turned a corner tn history, that we have reached a fork in the road of our national des- tiny. Those who counsel cowardice and stulti- fication want us to retrace our steps, forgetful * of our pledges to our allies, to our dead and to our children. 1 have more faith in America, I believe we have a divine mission to perform in the world.” There is not one word of the*bove that has not been matched in both meaning and earnestness by the utterances of William Howard Taft during the past eighteen months in support of the League of Nations. , Gov. Cox finds no stronger, more sincere plead- ing for the League than in the speeches and writings of staunch Republicans like Taft and Wickersham. When Mr, Taft stood beside President Wilson on the stage of the, Metropolitan Opera House in this city and voiced his patriotic, unpartisan enthusiasm for the League, there was no bigger Republican in the United States than the former Republican Presi- dent, What if Mr. Taft were to rise up at this moment and declare that his Republicanism will stand no more of the Republican candidate’s League-baiting tactics in the present campaign? Is there any doubt that the William Howard Taft who thus showed his courage and determination to defend his party’s honor would go down in history as the greatest Republican of them all? Is there any doubt as to the number of Republi- cans who would follow Mr. Taft? Where, The Evening World has already asked, are the truly large-calibre Republicans ready even at this late hour to save their Republicanism from the stigma of having put partisanship above the biggest peace programme in history? We do not for one instant doubt that this ques- tion has long reverberated like a bell through the inmost recesses of Mr. Taft's soul. Where are they? A TONIC SEASON. HOSE who believe in a Divine Plan in the ar- rangement of earthly affairs may well point to our autumn season as strong confirmation, Yet how many gain the full benefits from the good weather sandwiched between the heat of sum- mer and the cold of winter? Autumm is the health reserve season. It is the time when the workaday world is recovering from summer vacations, It is the time when we should be harvesting and storing+up health for the inroads that winter will make. Autumn weather is a stimulant and a tonic. It may be taken with safety in almost unlimited quan- tities. At this time of year Dr. Nature's prescrip- tion reads “Exercise and clean living,” ‘ Translated into the vocabulary of the city man it reads “Walk to work,” “Golf if possible,” “Week | end walks in the country'’—in fact, outdoor exercise of any kind, Nature’s prescriptions are not always so accept- able. In autumn the outdoor life is so thoroughly enjoyable that there is scant reason to sympathize with wintg? illness of persons who have not taken the elixir air, e THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, OCTOBE What kind of letter do you find that gives you the worth of a thousa There is fine mental exercise und a lot of satisfaction in trying to say much in a few words.

W her the big fellows have} UNCOMMON SENSE By John Blake (Copyright, 1920, John lake ) SYNCHRONIZE YOUR SYSTEM. Synchronize means to work together. In an automo- bile the timer is so synchronized with the pistons that the electric spark occurs when the piston is at the top of the cylinder. The gas compressed by the rising of the pistort is exploded at exactly the right time. This occurs in each of the six cylinders, and the engine operates smoothly as the result. . A little derangement in the synchronization will make the engine operate budly. If the synchronization is much deranged, it will not operate at all, What is called synchronization in motors is called co- ordination in the human being. The hand, the brain, the eye, must all work together, and exactly together. If they do not, physical accomplish- ment is either poor or impossible, The athlete must co-ordinate perfectly. A batter, for example Babe Ruth, must be able to command his muscles instantly on receiving a message from the eye that the ball is to @me wit easy batting reach, He may guess in advance what kind of a ball he is going to get from the pitcher. But it is accurate reporting of the message from the optic nerve and swift response from the muscles that enable him to hit the ball as often’ and as hard as he goes. Co-ordination occurs in your brains as in your body. The quick association of ideas—the response of the vocabu- lary to the needs of speech—these must be synchronized absolutely. It is a thing that can be cultivated. Keep your mem- ory in good condition by practice, keep your mind in good condition by use, keep your nerves in good condition by careful living and your system will be synchronized. And if it is perfectly synchronized it will be of far more use to you than if it operated haltingly and by fits and starts, AAA AAAS shrine of unhappy love, on a plain slab lying flat on the ground, the | name of “Charlotte Temple.” The “That's a Fact’ | By Albert P.

The best known, naturally, is that won- derful fighting machine, the Mon- tor, that sayed the Union, The four plates on the statue show his principal works: The Monitor, the steam fire engine, the rotary gun carriage amd the Princeton, the pioneer ship of our steam mai . The tablet erected by the City of New York on 24, ttentive 1603, is worthy of a no- yer? ~- Primer of the League of Nations likely to lead to rupture which ls not submitted to arbitration. Mither <|party to the dispute can have the matter taken up by giving notice to the Secretary General, to whom both parties will submit a statement of the case with all papers and rel/want facts, which the Council may direct to be published. (Article 15.) Q—Are the decisions of the Council in such cases made public? A—Yes, with such explanations and terms of settlement as the Council may deem appropriate. Q.—What ts done if the Council fatis to make a settlement? A.—The Council, either unantrhousty or by a majority vote, shall make and publish a report containing = state- ment of the facts of the dispute and the recommendations which are deemed just and proper im regard thereto. Any member of the League represepted on the Council may make @ public statement of the facts of the jspute and of the conclusions re rding the same. (Article 15.) This is one of the express pro- visions for other than # unanimous vote, as provided for in Article & Q.—What obligations are imposed upon members of the League by o unanimous vote of the Council in auch disputes? A-—If the report of the Council te unanimously agreed to (excluding the parties to the dispute) the members @gree that they will not go to war with any party to the dispute which complies with the recommendations, Q.—What ts done im case the re- port of the Council is not wnani- mous? A—The members of the League re serve to themselves the right to take such action as they sball consider necessary for the maintenance of right and justice. (Article 16.) Q.—Ia there any other provision for the settlement of such disputes other than by the unanimous ac- tion of the Cowna? A—Yes.. The Council may refer any dispute of this nature to the As- sembly, It is aleo provided that the Gigpute shall be so referred at the request of either party to the dispute if it be made within fourteen days after the dispute has been submitted to the Council. (Articole 15.) Q.—-I4 the unanimous vote of the Assembly required in cases re- ferred to it by the Council or upon request of one of the parties to the dispute? A.—No. But to be effective the re- pert of the Assembly must be con- curred in by the’ representatives of those members of the League repre- sented on the Council and a majority of the other members of the League (exclusive of the parties to the dis- pute). It would then have the same force and effect as « unanimous re port of the Counell. (Article 15.) This is another express provision for @ vote other than « unanimous vote aa provided for in Article 5, Q.—What obdligations ere im- posed upon the partics to the dis- pute by such @ report of the 4 sombly? A—As the prow{litle of Artie 12 relating to the action and powers of the Council are made to apply to the Assembly in such cases (Article 16), the parties to the dispute agree not to resort to war until three months after the report. Q.—Has the Council or Assembly the power to deal with disputes of @ domestic or internal nature? A—NO, Such disputes are «pe cifically excluded under Article 14 which says: “If the dispute between the parties is claimed by one of them and is found by the Counctl to arise out of @ matter which by tnterna- tional law is solely within the domes- fle jurisdiction of that party, the | Council shall so report and shall ake no recommendation as to its | settlement.” Q.—What is meant by domestic or internal affairs?
