There is hope for disarmament. The women certainly have reduced the hatpin menace within recent years. Many a mickle makes a muckle, but there isn't anything you can get from the retail meat dealer for a muckle. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Hang the swatter outside the door where you can see it. Maybe the reason why people like the silent drama is that it does not interfere with their discussion of the play. Poets are caroling everywhere, but the voice of D'Annumzio is still. His muse may be suffering from shell shock. The last word in the new English dictionary is "Zyxt." It ought to come in handy when a man's fishing line backlashes. An unsinkable battleship would be fine, but an unsinkable freight and passenger ship would be worth more to the world. How the past is linked to the present is shown by the configuity on one person of the silk shirt and the denim overall. Occasionally a system of accounting can be understood only by a magician of the old "now-you-see-it-and-now-you-do-not" school. There is quite a bit of consternation because the gambling fever has hit jewelled women in Paris, but they won't be jewelled long. Another thing the innocent people would like to know is whether jazz musicians really get any pleasure out of what they are doing. Natives of Yap, like those of other parts of the world, go on dancing to weird, primitive strains without bothering their heads about the topics of the day. Our foreign coal trade is said to be suffering from lack of demand in France, but nothing that happens ever seems to be of any benefit to the home consumer.

Seemingly the cumsances that did not warrant too Down thru the ages we have been able to know men by their actions. There is one characteristic that has characterized Harding's administration that is extremely admirable, that is, his power as a cool and deliberate thinker in trying situations—an invaluable asset to any leader. Colored Americans recently became impatient at Harding's failure to appoint any colored men. Seemingly thoughtless of the political and racial circumstances that did not warrant too hastily definite action. Senators, newspapers, soldier organizations and a great percentage of the public clamored for the passage of the ex-servic men's bonus bill unmindful of the poor taxpayers, the shattered economic condition and the high tariffs brought about by a useless war... President Harding, amid all this, sidetracked the bill long enough for the crying bonus enthusiast to wipe their eyes and look in the mirror of national condition, the affect that such actions would have at this time. When appropriations of any kind are made it just means that the public has to pay and all that the public can hardly do now is to live. We are of the opinion that international peace and disarmament of all nations is the only road to normalcy. As long as the commercial channels that make importation and exportation possible are closed nothing can help us. We hope that the nations concerned in the present matter of pacifying the Pacific will not enter into it selfishly but, that peace and prosperity may have a new birth of freedom. Hungering For Peace More significant and cheering even than the favorable responses of foreign governments to the proposal of President Harding is the enthusiasm with which it has been received by foreign peoples and the legislative bodies that represent them. When Premier Briand made his statement in the Chamber of Deputies it is said that "the whole house broke into prolonged applause." The French Senate we are told, "was aroused to unusual enthusiasm." In the London dispatches was this: "The scene in the House of Commons when Premier Lloyd George announced Great Britain's hearty acquiescence in the proposal was a memorable one. The Premier spoke to a hushed and crowded chamber, and when he said the government welcomed such a move and would do its utmost to make it a success, there was a crash of applause from all quarters, which, in the opinion of old journalists, has not been equalled since the announcement of the armistice with Germany." Papers of all shades of opinion express their hearty approval of the proposed conference, the British and the French press being unanimous. Italy is favorable, and Japan no doubt will be. This wonderful enthusiasm is simply the expression of the deep yearning of people everywhere for peace. Men and women believe that they see in the President's plan a way of escape from the back-breaking burden of taxation that they are now carrying, and also they have faith to believe, from the horrors of war. While "Jersey Justice" is swift, the innocent are safeguarded through a system of appeals, reprieves and stays, the latter sometimes operating to save convicted persons from the death chair. The case of Frank P. James and Raymond W. Schuck, convicted of killing David S. Paul, a Camden bank messenger, is an illustration. After their arrest the trials of the murders were expedited and the same day they were sentenced they were in the deathhouse here "candidates" for the chair. In July, 1904, three young negroes, Aaron Timbers, William Austin and Jonas Simms, entered the home of a farmer named Biddle, near Burlington, bound Mrs. Biddle and attacked her. Within a few days all three were captured, tried, convicted and had begun sentences of 49 years each in state prison. "Bill" Framer, a Camden holdup man, who terrorized women, was recently captured and tried and convicted the next day. The evening of that day he was on his way to prison to begin a long term. Shot Better Than He Spelled. Harrodsburg, Ky.—One of the most interesting relics in the state is Daniel Boone's old rifle and shot pouch, which are now preserved in the Kentucky Historical society. Both gun and pouch are in a fine state of preservation. On the stock of the rifle are carved the words, "D. Boone, his Fren," together with images of deer and other animals. Gun Trap Set for Thieves Killed Boy. Gun trap settler Thieves killed Orrstown, Pa.—While playing hide- and-seek with school companions, Abram M. Flora, ten-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Flora, stepped on a string attached to the trigger of a shotgun, set as a trap for grain thieves in the barn of Norman Hoch and was killed. One of the things Lenin is trying to live down is that statement issued a few months ago that soviet Russia intended to do without money. Aberdeen professor predicts that a race of biped lizards will rule the world a million years hence. Not if they are of the curbstone variety. Experts in finance and commerce are all agreed that the business depression has touched bottom and that the dawn of a revival is here. That's the stuff.

August 4. — "1924 will see Henry Ford a potential presidential candidate, enjoying the united support of farmers and a strong labor sympathy. This is a prediction created by Washington. The fact that Ford personally is politically independent and always has espoused ideas rather than party platforms, tends to strengthen him with the support he has received. Ford is seen in the following roles: Against big banks Ford recently won a spectacular victory in scorning a warning that he must accept Wall Street's demand that he should prove that such help was not necessary. Having purchased one small railroad and promptly lowered freight rates for the benefit of Michigan fruit growers, Ford gets additional railroad property. (By the Associated Negro Press) NEW YORK, August 4.—(Special to associated Negro Press.) The N. A. boy, Evelyn Groesbeck of Michigan, has refused to permit extradition of Thomas Ray to Georgia until officials of Wilkinson County has disproved a report that preparations to lynch Ray have been a seascape, that Hine, Albert Sleeper, then Governor of Michigan, had signed the extradition papers. The legal fight in the case has been conducted by the Detroit branch of the N. A. A. C. P. churches and citizens of Detroit, and the attorneys in the case Messrs. Willis, Hinton and McKinney.

The theft is alleged to have occurred July 16. On a second charge of taking six gults of silk underwear valued at $35 from the Utica Company the same day, Page was bound over to the grand jury. Page was fixed at $1,000 by Judge Bonner. It was brought out during the hearing that Page is a drug addict and subject to appropriating property. What Is Best For Indigestion? Mr. A. B.

Some men are still worrying over why a girl closes her eyes when she kisses them. Those little British warships that can fly will doubtless constitute the new duck class. Having accepted a cut in her wages, the hen is making up the loss by increased production. Some gardens might be more popular if cabbages could be camouflaged as chrysanthemums. There are persons who do not worry about having empty heads if they have full pocketbooks. Man is a resourceful creature—he can always find plenty of excuses when he has no reasons. There may be some persons who never made mistakes, but the evidence is all on their tombstones. Cause of Appendicitis: When the bowels are constipated, the lower bowels or large intestines become packed with refuse matter, that germs enter the vermiform appendix and set up inflammation, which is commonly known as appendicitis.

Some women do not realize that a walking shoe wears better and appears well for a longer time if it is frequently polished. A new street shoe ought not to be worn much until it is polished once, for without the polish it is much more liable to be scratched than with a good polish. Especially is this true of the shoe. Polsoning by means of phosphorized grain is said to be an effective means of checking the increase of rabbits in certain parts of the British colonies.

Another claim to distinction is that enjoyed by men who attended the peace conference and have not written books about it.

Lights for Sick Room. When, as in case of sickness, you wish a soft, warm light in a room, rather than the glare that an electric light imparts, make little bags of china silk (any color desired), and put them over each bulb. It is well to run elastic around the edge of the circle, which you cut from the silk, so that the bulb can be easily removed by just slipping out of the bag.

NEW IAN HAIR PROMADE CO. OLDEAST IN IAN HAIR PROMADE CO. --- As a variant of the early Christmas shopping slogan the "Buy your coal now" has advantages. It helps the purchasers and assists to straighten out a basic industry. Proposals for military and naval bonuses arouse great enthusiasm among the taxpayers until they learn who is to pay the bonuses. Then they resolve to temper generosity with frugality. European kings who used to keep their crown jewels locked up now have them hocked up. So many girls paint now that you rarely find one who can hold the mirror up to nature. The unsinkable ship is being built in pairs in the British navy—perhaps for the last time. Gabrielle D,Annunzio is married. Oh, well, what could he do? Italy refused to fight with him. "But" is the greatest word in the diplomatic dictionary. As, for instance, "black is white, but—" It's hard to understand these men who throw a fit about the government throwing out the unfit. The peak of rents is believed to have been reached. The peak is when a tenant has a look in. It was an open winter, but the coal dealer is writing letters to try and make it a hard summer. How could a man say with flowers what he feels like saying when he is digging out dandelions? The number of notes flying around the globe must make it hard on the international stenographers. Name it and you can have it is no easy proposition when it comes to one of those Russian towns. Speaking of relativity, why is it that fleas stick so close to a dog and rarely bother even the meanest man? And then again, the trick is to get one blade of grass to grow where none grew before. What has become of that D'Annunzio person whose name used to be on the front page so often? Cheer up! Even for those who cannot get a poet's license there is possible a fishing license. One reason the country is short of homes is that too much money has been put into the cellars. Nowadays when you hear of a puncture you don't know whether it's a tire or a wage adjustment. The man who made $15 to $20 a day by begging, while it lasted, had a better job than working. Milady's latest is artificial eyelashes. She seems to have used up the visible supply of pencils. Nowadays there are many things that are "a darned sight better business than loafin" round a throne." Some men get fringes on the bottoms of their trousers putting fur on the bottoms of their wives' skirts. The prince of Wales may be impulsive, but he does not exhibit it in picking out the next queen of England. The ultimate consumer remains cold, dead-cold, to all those precipitous drops of prices in the wholesale field. Fortunate is the amateur who knows which growing things, to cut off with the hoe and which to leave growing. Einstein says he sees an end to time and space. This robs the world of all chance of ever understanding his theory. Portugal is broke and wants Uncle—well, there's a sort of understanding around that he is pretty well off and a bit easy. If France rules the air, will it kindly speak to the neighbor on the windward who mixes rubber with his spring bonfire. 1413 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE THE OLD EAST INDIAN HAIR POMADES are the only ones for you, you can always depend on them.

Mr. Vickrey considers the need in the Near East and especially in Armenia greater than anywhere else in the world, because, as he says, "In the countries of Central Europe there are going governments which have merely been temporarily impoverished by war. In the Near East, on the other hand, there is no such thing as stable government. The whole fabric of the state has to be created from the beginning, and the innocent and helpless children have to be trained to the responsibilities of future citizenship. Peace in the Near East and, in great measure, throughout the world, will depend very largely on the character of the citizenship of the peoples of the Near East." Irresistible Appeal of Orphans. Describing the orphanage work of the Near East Relief in the Armenian Republic, Mr. Vickrey said: "We have at Alexandropol in the Caucasus, one orphanage where there are approximately 10,000 homeless children, fatherless or motherless, many of them having no known living relative. Some of them do not even know their own names, or the place of their birth. They have shown wonderful recuperative powers, and to see them play their kindergarten or other games under the direction of our American relief workers, one could never believe that they had passed through the years of suffering that most of them have experienced since they, or their parents, were driven from their homes in Central Turkey five years ago. "For the accommodation of these orphans there are sixty splendid stone buildings, erected as barracks for the Russian army. These buildings are now given to us by the Armenian government for a period of ten years and lend themselves admirably to relief purpose. A. Side View of Comp. Cheekey System of B and Grow H in One!
