J
John Lund. Norwalk’s new school
msuperintendent. delivered a talk
filled with commendable thoughts at
l the union services in the Rowsyton
Methodist church last evening.
He said truly that the schools
alone could not be held responsible
. for-all the faults of a community.
The home. civic institutions and the
‘ general moral tone of the commun-
ity'must be high. if the real objec—
'tive of education. character are to
be achieved.
A quotation from Mr. Lund's ad-
dress is significant. He said:
”.f'some time ago in the course of
p a. talk to high school boys and girls.
"'T'tried to bring home the truths 1
have endeavored to make clear in
this talk tonight. I said to them at
that time that the high school. this
'high school. offers as its biggest op-
portunity not more knowledge in
, courses in the curriculum. but a
laboratory for the development of
QM» social and moral virtues which

lest‘we find ourselves with our char.
'pgter equipment fixed. We can't
change overnight simply because we
know better. Knowing behtter
doesn’t help. once the habit of lazi-
nesg dishonesty or carelessness is
established. If knowing better were
V enough to insure right thinking and
right action there would be no need
for prisons. courts and jails. These
are‘the thoughts I would have you
keep uppermost in your minds as
you. think of your attitude toward
school and the opportunities it of-
fore."

“Our Joint navios must keep open
the ways and guard the peace of the
Pacific. any American. Japanese and
British nuvni officers. when they
toast each other. it is a pleasant
phrase. and always evokes applause.
"But against whom shall they do-
fend it?" inquired a lady less train-
ed ihan masculine platitudinarians
to accept phrases without analysis.
"Surely there are no pirates or
buocancers so strong as to require
great battleships to police them. and
there is no other national navy that
could cope with the least of these;
still less with all combined."
The answer,’ of course. could not
have been made in public speech. or
an international social occasion.
For the only frank answer would
have been: “Against each (llill‘l‘." So
long as these lill‘t’e great liccls pu-
trol the Pacific. no other will darn
invade it. And so long us each of
these is invincible in its home wu-
ltl‘! against either of the others, but
could be endangered by the other
two combined. no one of them will
dare break the. peace. They are thus
a. guarantee of peace. against each
other. as well as against all others.
Against pirates and privaiccrs
alone. destroyers. speed boats. and a
few base cruisers would be a more
effective police than the present war
armament. Against any outside
menace, a. quarter of the prcsent
force would be cnough. Against each
other. anything is enough. provided
it is balanced, The Washington Con-
ference balanced it, on one basis. it
can go lower only by being ngnill
balanced. by joint agreement. on ll
new basis.
\Vllcll America Is Out of Debt.
If things keep on their present
How Peace in Pacific Is Guaranteed
,courso. America will almost have re.
paid the money we borrowed to
loan Europe. as well as all we spent
ourselves to’ help Europe. before
Europe has fairly begun to repay us.
Treasury officials estimato'thst the
whole American debt may be wiped
out. by American taxes alone. in
twenty-five years.
ltaiy talks of a moratorium of ten
years before even beginning to peg.
and France is jockeying for as long
a delay as possible.
Even after they begin paying.
their installments, on interest and
principal combined. will be less than
we are paying out in interest alone
on the same money.
That means that they will never
pay any of the principal. nor all of
the interest. and that for as long an
interval as possible they will pay
nothing at all. Meantime. before
they have much more than started.
we shall have finished. Whatever
comes in after that will be “velvet."
Csrplng at Flapper Old Stunt.
Carping lit the flapper and her
ways is "old stuff.” Doubtiess Eve
began it. with Cain's daughter. At
any rate. here is the authorily of
the Iteman poct. Horace. as to how
it was. nearly two thousand years
ago:
“Our grown
Ionian ways. l
or lewd suggestion in the dancer’s
school:
Nay. each with evil tricks is full
Ev'n from her caiiow days."
Perhaps some day a generation
will live on earth with memory
enough to recall when it was young.
l‘ntil then. the flapper. each genera-
tion under a new name. will be per-
petual subject of discussion. Her
girls love to learn
‘crilno is to be young. when we are
i old.
A good many people fail to realize
that just as the kidneys are cxcre-
to'l'y organs so the skin is an organ
of excretion which throw of! waste
products and worn out material of
the body. We have seen that if this
waste material is not promptly ro-
movcd from the system that we suf.
for in various ways. You should ni-
so understand that if this waste ma-
terial is allowed to remain on the
surface of the skin undesirable con-
seqticnccs'may follow .
it is to assist nature in the speedy
excretion of waste material that a
daily bath. particularly during the
warm weather. is recommended.
During the warm weather the skin
is very active and ihc amount of cx-
cretlon is much greater and decom-
position takes place more rapidly in
warm weather than in cold weather.
although it may be said in passing
that a daily bath, winter and sum-
mer, will do you no harm.
The old fashioned weekly bath,
which is still all too common in
households where modern bathing
facilities are not available. will not
maintain a clean and pleasant con-
dition of the skin especially during
summer months. A tub bath is. of
course; usually desirable. but it is
certainly not always necessary for
the daily bother. in fact. a shower
is more sanitary.
Shower baths should be taken up-
on arising ln the morning and
should be followed by a brisk rub-
hing with a coarse towel. Soap
should be used liberally and washed
off thoroughly. Very oldpeopic and
very young people and invalids
should be cautious about taking cold
baths at any time. The shock which
follows the sudden reduction of the
temperature of the surface of the
body is not followed by a prompt re-
action and frequently unpleasant re.
sults occur.
A cold plunge into a tub of icy
water in the morning is not recom-
mended for these who do not. enjoy
it. It is a. question whether such a
cold plunge is not detrimental to the
health of even those hearty individu-
als who prefer this rigorous morning
indoor sport.
Warm Bath Best For Cleansing.
A warm bath is best for cleansing
purposes and is soothing and restful.
You should remember. however. that
a warm bath is not stimulating and
that it renders you susceptible to
cold temperatures.
For this reason. warm 'llaths
should be taken just before bed time
in the winter. for exposure after a
warm bath. especially in the winter.
is not infrequently followed by a
cold or some more serious conse-

warm baths may be taken during
the day for the purpose of ciaenli-

The most valuable. stimulating

Bathing within two hours after a
meal is unwise because of its effect
upon the digestion. The kind of bath

NEW YORK. Aug. (ll. -- Misery
loves company. they say. and birds
of a feather flock together.
In a brown-stone front on Thirty-
third street. opposite the Permsyi-
vanla Station. there live two legiess
men who propel themselves around
town on roller-skate boards. In the
same house there is a -onc-legged
man and an armless man. All of
them earn their daily bread and
cakes by peddling lead pencils and
shoestrings.
They go out together when on
pleasure bent, but go their various
ways when working at their trade.
The dilapidated old house in which
they live serves as club house as
well as residence for them, for in
the morning they .havo their poker
games and other sports. They are
on the street at night when
pleasure-seeking crowds are out.

The truth is. the president's taci-
turnlty is largely fictitious. livery
president has some such action
built up about him. The present
chief magistrate does have a faculty
for saying quite a pithy little thing
now and then. A few of those ob-
servations got into print. the public
noticed them. got an idea he said
nothing else, and the White House
chroniclers. who were aching for
some peculiarity to wish onto him.
for the sake of news interest. grab-
bed at this imaginary one and have
since.
it's a fact that President Coolidge
is backward about discussing im-
portant questions but not more so
than most politicians are. indeed,
less so. if anything. individuals who
are closest to him say he tends to
let more cuts out of their bags than
he ought to. when he gets started.
and they have to watch him to keep
him from getting into trouble.

Given a subject of no particular
significance. and he pratties indeli-

marked about him at his periodical
receptions of the newspaper men in
Washington. They don't tell about
it. for they've already invested him'
with his title of "Silent Cal." so they
can't. but they speak of it among
themselves.
For instance, when a. “national
sport week" was under discussion
some time ago. a question concern-
ing it was put to him at one of these
receptions. "It was an ideal theme
The Last Frontier
At the bottom of the.“ Bay of Na-
ples lies a city. Archaeologists have
christened it Paleopolls. It is believ.
ed to have been .the earliest Greek
colony in Italy.
Now‘Dr. .Hans Hartman plans to‘
explore PaleOpolls with the aid of a
great steel diving bell which has
been built for him at the Krupp
Slecei Works in Essen. Germany.
The bell is a great steel cylinder
with a heavy glass window in it
and is designed to withstand the
pressure of the water at a depth
of 15.000 feet.
Divers cannot descend more than
200 feet because of the increase in
pressure. But Dr. Hartman has al-
ready descended 3.000 feet in a div-
ing bell.
The new diving bell is equipped
with powerful searchllghts‘for illu-
minating the water around it.
4 Dr. Hartman will take a motion
picture camera with him when he
has his diving bell lowered into the
water-filled streets of Paleopolls.
Next. Dr. Hartman plans to ex-
plore the sections of ancient Car-
thage which now lie on the floor of
the Mediterranean of! the coast of
Africa.
If he is successful. he plans to
have a diving bell which will per-
ml: him to go even deeper into the
rnysicnous regions of the deep
ocean.

A few weeks ago administration
Ipolitican’sl pooh-poohed all predic-
tions that tariff revision downward
would be an important issue, at the
next Session of Congress. Now
they're beginning to admit. reluc-

They don't admit that there will be
any reduction. and in this they
probably are right. They’re strong
enough in the House. if perhaps not
in the Senate. to prevent it. But it's
obvious that it's going to be strong-

rassing is that it's pretty sure to be
advocated by Republicans—nobody
