Nation-Wide Ceremonies Center Around Tomb of Unknown Soldier. Washington, Nov. 11. — Prepared ness for defense to insure freedom and justice to the American people and preparedness for peace to remove the underlying causes of international con flict were proclaimed by President Hoover tonight as the foundation up on which this country desires to ap proach post war problems in harmony with the nations of the world. He declared for “adequate prepar edness as a guarantee that no foreign soldier should ever set foot upon the soil of our country” but at the same something far more powerful than treaties and the machinery of arbitra tion and conciliation and judicial de cision, something more mighty than armies and navies in defense. “That is to build the spirit of good will and friendliness, to create respect and confidence, to stimulate esteem between people—this is the far great est guaranty of peace. In that atmos phere, all controversies become but passing incidents of the day. Nor does this friendliness, respect and esteem come to nations who behave weakly or SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON By Rev.Aamaei D. Price, D.

It is through no'matter how low “Proper defense requires military strength relative to that of other na tions,” the president said. “We will re duce our naval strength in proportion to any other. Having said that it only remains for the others to say how low they will go. It cannot be too low for us these means that we establish the sin cerity, the justice, and the dignity of a great people. That is a new vision of diplomacy that is drawing in the world. “The colossal power of the United States overshadows scores of freedom- loving nations. Their defense against us is a moral defense.

His voice was carried into the homes of millions over a nationwide radio hookup. Several times as Mr. Hoover made his announcement of the position .and the aim of the American government iij world affairs, the audi ence applquded heartily. As another contribution to the ulti mate peace of the world he proposed that food ships should be made free of any interference in times of war. “The time has come when we should remove starvation of women and chil dren from the weapons of warfare,” he said, adding that he put forward sense of the American people this de fense is more powerful than all ar mies or navies, is a sacred duty which lies upon us. “It has been my cherished hope to organize positively the foreign. rela tions of the United States on this high foundation and to do it in reality, not simply in diplomatic phrases. The establishment of that relationship is vastly more important than the mere settlehfient of the details of any of our chronic international problems. In such pure air and in that alone cah both sides with frankness and candor present their points of view and either find just formulas for settlement, or. given above look up, with care, Ruth 1:1-18; John•4:6-10; Acts 10:1-11 and Romans 1:14. Mutual needs help greatly in being vitally interested in other nations. One of the finest love stories is that of Na omi, the Jewess, and Ruth, the Moab trying to learn “What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.” Peter’s conviction, as expressed in the household of Cornelius, was “I per ceive that God is no respecter of per sons.

Declaring that to maintain peace is as dynamic in its requirements as is the conduct of war, Mr. Hoover said progress toward peace could be at tained only through realistic practical daily conduct amongst nations. “Men of good will throughout the world are working earnestly and hon estly to perfect the equipment of pre paredness for peace,” he said. “But there is something high above and in finitely more powerful than the work of all ambassadors and SPELLS OF ' BACKACHE *T HAVE used Car* dui at intervals for sizteen years, when I suffipred from weakness, and it always helped me,** says Mrs. J. W. Jiniight, R. F. Dl 2, Troy, Ala. “Mostly I was afSicted with bad apella of backache. At times I felt as if my back would break. I would drag one fo^ after the other, in a helpless sort of a way, and once 1 got down in bed. My husband urged me to take Cardui, and I soon found what a fine medicine it really was. “V^en my second child was little, I was in very bad healHu I did not pick up as I should have. I was we^ and sickly. I do not believe that I would have come through, but for CarduL” “With this wider understanding of mutual difficulties and aspirations we can each in our own sphere better contribute to broaden good will, to as sist those forces which make for peace in the world, to curb those forces which make for distrust. Thereby do we secure the imponderable yet tran scendent spiritual gains which come from successful organization of peace and confidence in peace. . “That is why I have endeavored to . .

Save by painting NOW with SfFP If your house is even slightly weather-beaten, paint nowr for economy. Give your house an armor-like coating of SWP— protect it against ruinous win ter’s rain and snow—and save » costly repair bills. Fewtfi* gallons of SWP are needed because its wonderful “body” thoroughly covers more square feet of surface per gallon. Therefore it costs you less per job. Call us for an estimate—positive proof of the economy of SWP. Come and consult our beautiful new color schemes. This aid is yours merely for the asking. Just look over these values—all of guaranteed quality— for Friday and Saturday. And remember—we are right here on the spot to make good anything which fails to give satisfaction. We are particularly proud to recommend the famous Sherwin-Williams line of paints and varnishes. By actual test and through long experience, we know them tq be the best on the market. ' Paint is easily adulterated. Nobody can tell much about paint by looking at it in the can. But a few months after it is applied, the super quality of SWP is apparent to anyone. We sell SW'P because it lasts more than twice as long as cheaper paint—because it gives absolute satisfaction, retaining its clean, true^colors to the very last—because it is the world’s greatest paint bargain.
