At the last pfe"*nary session of the arms conference, previous to {In formal signing, of tbe treaties, the last speaker was Viscount d'Alte, the PortugfeeSe minister. He uri dertcok to sum up the work of the confeieine in these words, which deserve to **b^ i^ad with pride by every American.' , "To what-rf-tteo, gentlemen, this distinctive character of the con ference of Washington? It ia due to the presence at our deliberations i of two members of the conference, { who, though invisible, were not si- ! lent, for they spoke directly to our minds and hearts and had a decis- j ive influence, in shaping our decis- j ?ions. "I refer to that epic of human I generosity that is the story of American relief, and to the shining example of the nation who after being the deciding factor in the j j greatest war the world has ever, j known, retired from the struggle j with empty hands, with not one ad- ? vantage to show for ,the tremen- J dous sacrifices she had made. For j that great nation those hateful; j words, "the fruits of victory" have j no meaning. In the presence of i these agust shadows we could not j revert entirely ro the policies of the j past Gentlemen, as it is my privilege | to speak the closing words of this j conference of high achievement, on ! behalf of those invited' to attend, j it, I will try to express what I be j lieve' is at the present time in the I minds of us all, that is. that Arher ! ca justifies her leadership of the I world." Was-he right? And does Amer ica "justify her leadership of the world"? Perhaps that very thought was actually in the minds of the j j Porteguese statesman's colleagues I from many countries as he spoke, j and in the minds of the millions they represented. Americans, despite the reputa tion they have sometime gained j abroad, are modest. They would [ like, at any rate, to feel that they j deserve this praise, which is as J great a tribute as one nation ever j offered to another, j There is no question that Ameri j ca can lead the world, along lines i of noble and hopeful development, j j if America chooses to do so. The [ ability and prestige are here, and ! the world is willing. The only j question is whether America wants i to lead continually and consistent - I ly; with the full courage of a self | confident leader, instead of doing j j so intermittently or half-hearted ly. ; ' % ?'. ??'? ? ? ?? XARixmc JAZZ. In a play n'dw running in New j Tork, jazz is called our "National j ! Anthem."-" Rabbi Stephen S. Wise,! i prominent Jewish leader, says that i it should be called not "anthem" i but "anathema" or even "damna- j j therna." He explains: , I "We have lapsed into the Jazz- j I astr?phic age because of the devo- j ' tibn of the unthinking to the mad : quest of a good time?the 'good: ftime* that is hungrily sought in or- j ! der'that men'and vornehm may be j lenablerl to atrophy their minds 'through superstimulation of their [ senses. "Jazz is a narcotic publicly and ! sh-vmelessly indulged in. It is be i cau.*e I lament the prostitution of j j muse and the da'hee, both high' j forms of art, to the base uses of J things borrowed from the ha'unts btif vice and shame, that I lift my ' ? voice in warning to young people iftnd parents." j " Laurette Taylor, well known ac ! tress, corroborates the rabbi's re-1 marks, saying that she has danced I all her life, and loves dancing, butj 1 is "afraid of jazz," and brings an-! other indictment against it: "I think jazz spoils you for the j sort of music that relaxes. It is . a constant whipping of the pulse, j a constant urge to movement. /N/oi one wants {o listen to jazz sitting i j still, so the craving for excitement t j becomes a habit and good music! j loses its charm." T$ls is almost as i serious as the moral criticism. A lawyer rises to remark that he j has never recovered from the shock j of his first experience with jazz, jwhen in a charming home he "saw. jsome nice people become _ wild and Iwooly under the influence of jazz, I well rendered by some human ! gorillas, as they moaned and r. . j groaned over their musical instru j ments." j After reading these comments, i almost anyone should be reconcil ed to reports that jazz at last is ! dying out. j If a conference of five nations can revise warfare, maybe a con ference of 50 nations could stop it. ? ? ? ! We notice that Lenine wants a bodyguard at Genoa. Why not a :keeper? I ? ? ? i Rules of warfare are always j made between wars, and then the I I next war comes along and makes ?its own rules. j ? ? , j I RABELAIS AND TBE MAILS. ??? ! Francois Rabelais is rebuked.! j More than that, the great French humorist's works are barred from the mails. A postomco inspector in [ Ohio has ruled them out, and also brought suit against their New York publisher on the charge of, j circulating obscene and indecent j j literature. Very likely Rabelais deserves! such a fate. His writings are ad mittedly pretty strong meat, and j J not for babes of any age. And yet. i . if seems rather odd that the ere- j ator of Cargantua and Pantagruel should have waited all these cen. turies for such judgment. The loss of royalties will not bother the merry old gentleman;! land if he knows what is going on. i Rooking down, or up, as the easel may be. from where he sit* in pleasant converse with Aristo phanes, Cervantes and Shakespeare, he is probably entertained by the dilemma of his latest publisher. 1 It can stand it. But there is some interest in the matter for the living. Morals are morals; but if classics are to be treated in this highly moral lash ion, where is the thing to end'.' If Rabelais is barred from the mails, how about Dean Swift and Law rence Sterne? irow about the su preme geniuses already mention ed? Will anybody be allowed to publish or mail a copy of Chaucer? And what of Horace's Odes, wheth er in Latin or English? And. some body suggests, what of the Bible it self? This literary censorship is a very delicate affair. ROCKS FOR LAW-BREAKERS. A Los Angeles judge dealing with .serious traflic-rule infractions has hit upon a punishment which real ly appears to lit the crime. He had tried finese but with lit tle success. Over-speeding and other offenses continued. Then tin judge established a rock pile at one police station and proceeded to sen tence law'-brc/ik/ing /motorists to from ,3 0 )to 180 days /breaking rocks for roads. The first day of the new regime found 15 rock breakers at work. There is no suggestion that a good time was had by any one except the judge. It is a drastic measure, but the insolent and defiant attitude of a few selfish motorists in every com munity is forcing the adoption of sterner methods everywhere. ? ? - - Every time a new nation is born, it starts right out to justify its ex istence by borrowing money. m> ? * Well, the world seems to hove been made fairly safe for democ racy, and we've lost a little of our enthusiasm, observing what de mocracy is doing with it. " Here's a. prosperity motto for 1922: Better smaller profits than no profits at all. Ditto *ages. ? ? ? THE AVTOMOTIVE EXAMPLE. Price reductions in the auto motive industry the past year have been far beyond what the public expected. Some .automobiles and tractors are actually selling now below the ante-bellum level. Thou sands of purchasers have asked, ?'*How can they do it?" The answer is found in a statement, made by a manufacturer who makes two cars, one of which has been reduc ed 42 per cent in a single year and the other 32 per cent. He says: "The automobile builders of America were among the first to agree that normalcy could be best maintained by putting greater ef ficiency into the Job of turning out motor cars. It is true that raw materials showed a marked falling ,off in price, but the men who ac tually build the cars have shown themselves eager to do better work and more work. '.'Our latest production figures show we are building the best cars we ever built and that we are turn ing out cars at the rate of one each day for each fifteen men on the pay roll as compared with one to each r,S men in the old days." In a word, the motor car indus try has been able to deflate itself completely, without ruining itself, because it has made itself efficient. Intelligence and effort have done it. And be it observed thai the work men deserve ,and get, as much of the credit as the employers do. Here is a monumental example for some o?the other industries that are still muddling along in the old rut. GERMANY'S ABSENT GOLD. German hanks are said to be in communication with Swiss banks in an effort to determine ?ie amount of German securities, gold and other funds on deposit in Switzerland. The effort is due to a desire of the German government to make a forced loan on German capital.

M could ! not thrive there and had i<< wan I der eastward with the Weevil, he j cause only 'he residents in ;i newly I infested territory would entertain jit. South Carolina is entertaining lit now. ! Numerous formulas and recipes (for making sweetened poisons for ; boll weevil control are being rec ommended and a number of com mercial brands of sweetened and liquid poisons are appearing <>n the market. Equally numerous devices : arc put forward for supplying these [liquids and pastes. Catchy expres sions in connection with some of these formulas include "sticker and "secret binder." v. hieb convey 'the impression that these myster ious discoveries will cause the ma terial to stick to the plant and re main good until eaten by the wee vil. Whether the poison is applied ;.ts a spray or a^ a dust the rate of decomposition goes foiward in the same manner and as a weevil pois on its decomposition is completed j in about four days. ; Binders and spreaders are in use by entomologists and serve a us. {ful purpose under certain conditions in binding the spray ingredients I and giving body to the spray, but they have no material merit in I making the spray stick to the I plant. The fundamental condition that makes the spray or the pow fder stick to the plant is fineness, land the finely divided spray or dust properly ajvpiied has a m. -t [affective sticking power. Demonstrations ' to show the [stickiness of a substance by pouring Jit from a sprinkling pot have no semblance whatever to a natural rainfall where the drops, travel I downwards hundreds of feet Jjrefore they strike the plant.

I Some one says: ".John Brown tried it und made a bale to an acre/' Was it checked? How did he know thai the sweetened pois 1 on was the determining factor in making his crop? Bill Grimes fried it and got nothing. John ! Brown also says he treated his seed : with sulphur and made a crop. Now ? would you believe this just because 'John Brown said so? Sam Stokes says tin- weevil lives in the roots of I cockle bur.

Baker, super- j vising agent of hoys' club work, for 1021 shows some interesting phases: [of decided educational value, such] [as community organization, en campments and short courses, ex hibits at state and county fairs, i deaiinrrs with banks, the use of! ? purebred seed and purebred ani-j mals. etc.. things which make club work worth while, regardless of thej [monetary value of club work. The community club method of; conducting boys' club work was! : tried out for the first time in 1921 : and proved a most satisfactory method from all angles, particu-1 larly because of its educational ef fect upon the members in training them to transact their own affairs and learn the value of cooperation. There were 41' community clubs, ? with a total membership of 744. [ These clubs held 24." meetings car rying out monthly programs and [instructions furnished by the club leaders. The wisdom of the com- | munity club plan is borne out by ' the returns of county agents, the most efficient, work having been done in those counties which have had community organizations. There were ten short courses and ; encampments combining instruc tion and pleasure, attended by 37" club members. The number of ex hibits at fairs was 31, the prizes' won totalling $1.350 on crop ex-j hibits and $1.000 on animal ,x" jhibits. or a total of $2,950 in prizes. As an illustration of business: methods learned by eliih members,] money was borrowed l?y members for club work from '.'.2 hanks, total amount being $480. There were l:"n Club members having their own bank accounts in conducting I their club work.
