A study conference on “the churches and world peace" will be called in Washington. the first week in December. to consider ways to- wards a ”wsrless world. " It is a good purpose. and the con- ference may do some good. It may help crystalise the opin- ion of some millions of Americans. But the immedediate situation is that the opinion of twenty millions, or a hundred millions. does not count. so long as the power of in- action rests in s. small minority of the present membership of the Uni- ted States Senate. Less than a dozen irreconcilable isolationists. but these few inirench- ed in the packed Foreign Relations Committee; a few more timid and vaclilating; a few Republicans too reactionary to follow even Republi. can leadership forward; a few Dem- ocrats too partisan to follow even their own platform if Republicans approve it too—these few. skillfully manipulated have been able. and may be able again, to prevent the only concrete action now possible. They may still keep America. alone of civilized nations. out of the World Court, founded on American principles and established by Am- erican initiative. Unless America. can take this simple and obvious step, it is use- less to plan any other. The court. .to be sure. can not alone make a "warless world.‘ But it is Ill! most elementary step to- wat‘di- it. Co-opuration is the only way to tie way to do it. Unless the nations can organize for peace. there will be no peace. And so long as the richest and most powerful nation of all refuses to join in any international organ- ization. the rest can do no more than half the task. These confereee may help convert the millions. But until the dozen or prevent war. There is no ustlonnlls-l Big Stick Needed in World Court Fight med- ccuvcrted, ths millions are impor- tent. "l‘hat can not be done by argu. ment. it has not yet lctu done by the platforms or both parties. the lead- ership of three presidents and the martyrdom of two. and the common voice of the rest of the world. Noth- ing is strong enough to effect the ‘ present situation unless it is strong enough to budge these few senators. Perhaps a. Boosevelilan big stick would to effective on some whom they have been able to use. The leaders are proof against even‘this. Wants to Abolish Dead Letter Ofil-:o The government would like to get rid of the dead letter office—and could. if each of us would only write his own name and address, for return, on the outside of the en- velope. It is simple enough. But so are a lot of other things that involve nothing but all of us using all our sense all the time. We would kill few or no people on the highways if each of us would always be alert, sober. careful and skilled; we would have few acci- dents in industry if each of us would always be alert. sober. careful and skilled; we. would have few accidents in industry if each of us would use as much sense all the limo as all of us do most of the time; the .whole of life would run smoother if each of us would al- ways do each little thing the best. he knows how. ' But it can‘t be done. Human na- ture is not built that way. There will always be people who mail un- signed letters in blank envelopes. Whoever is careful enough ways to write his own address on t e en- velope for return is also careful enougi to write theeending address correctly. But you can not rumiife on the assumption that everybody will do even the simplest thing right e , all the time. How To Keep Well By DR. HUGHIS. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States Public Health Service There is a. habit all too commoil among many people which deserves our consideration. This is the medicine habit. While not as vicious nor as degrading as the narcotic habit. the medicine (il- blt. nevertheless, merits attention. It is quite probable that there are more individual drug fiends, though of course they are not so constant in their use of medicine. The habitual user of medicine goes his way unrestricted, purchas- ing drugs by the bottle, full and pills by the hundred. The medicine evil is by no means a trival one. Many a poor person has been made poorer. many a sick man has been made sicker and many a weak woman made weaker because of the mistaken belief that health can be found in a medicine bottle. , The medicine fiend or the hab- itual user of medicine is aided and abetted in this practice by tradition. lby custom. and by the vendors of these medicines. There are still many people who believe that ill- ness requires the immediate use 01 medicines and that medicines po- ssess some mysterious or miraculous qualities which will drive away fev- er and disease. To be sure. it is easier to take a dose of medicine than it is to forego some of the pleasures of indiscre- tlon. lndlscretion in diet. over-eat- ing. over-drinking, careless habits .and improper living. however. can. not be corrected by hourly or daily recourse to the pill box or the med.- icine bottle. A little reading and a little thought will reveal the fact that there are very few specifics. How. foolish it is therefore. for the in- dividual to expect even a reasonable amount of benefit from some of the cure-all medicines now on the mar- ket. Medicines Should Play Minor Part. After all. medicines valuable as they are play only a minor part in the treatment of disease. When in- telligently administered they are helpful agents which assist nature in combating the invasion of dis- ease-producing germs. Medicines do not and cannot act as substitutes for rightful and healtful habits of living. If there were a specific for every disease known to man the study of medis cine would be a simple science and health could be purchased at the drug store. Unfortunately this is not the Case I n In NEW YORK, Sept. lit—One of Manhattan's geniuses is the fellow who runs the out-of—town newspaper stand at Times Square. He has a rare memory. He' has two stands which carry several hundred news- papers. He knows Just where each one of them _is and he knows when the copies of one are sold out with- out looking, Also he remembers faces for months. Last night Tom Sims. the para- grapher, walked up to the stand. Be. fore Torn had said a word the news vendor asked, "How's everybody down in Tennessee 2" seen Tom for more than a year. There are several of these out-of- town paper stands in various places and the police keep an eye on them to apprehend fugitives who buy pa. pers to learn the fate of their part- ners in crime. . O 0 C You have heard of Mir cops on . land and in the air and on the misspell: utProspeostrs, ‘may not result entirely from And he hadn‘t . despite the fact that such an idea is often conveyed by many of the widely advertised cures for "liver disorders,” "kidney complaints." "stomach troubles' and various oth— er ailments. The evil in the medicine linbl: the particular drug taken into the aye-Z item. A far greater evil may result from this habit because of the fact that the promiscuous user of medi- cine is given a false sense of secur- ity in the remedy purchased. while ihe.dlscasc, if there be a disease present. may progressively increase in severity. Most of us in the course of our daily work have met men and wo- men u-ho constantly carry upon their person a box of pills into which they dip regularly and from which they take religiously as though life were actually depennen. upon the regularity with which the dose is administered. It is true that the medicine fiend may obtain some relief from his \pill habit. but such benefit, you can be sure, is only temporary and in most cases it is probably a mental bene- fit rather than a physical one. Medicines act as cures in only a very small percentage of diseases. The results of disregarding the laws of personal hygiene cannot be cor- rected by drugs. You cannot find health in a bottle of medicine nor can you correct the injury which you have inflicted up- on your body in careless habits by dosing yourself with medicine. Lead the simple life. Eat plenty of good food. Live in the fresh air and the sun- shine ns much as you can and obey the well recognized laws of persona: hygiene. Present yourself to a reputable physician at least once n year for a. thorough physical examination and if disease attacks fin place yourself under the care of a physi- clan. In all probability be will give you medicine to he sure. but he will do much more than that and the medi- cine that he gives you will not alone effect a cure. it will aid but the enforced restrictions which he will place upon your habits and modes of living will play a much greater part. Cultivate the annual physical es- amlnation habit. and just in propor- tion as the annual physical exami- nation habit aprcads so will the medicine fiend disappear. in Brooklyn has a traffic cop to reg- ulate skiffs. On Sunday afternoons as many as five hundred rowboats rented in an hour and egress and ingress to the lake is through a 15- fool: passage. Frequently it requires as much as half an hour to get through this passage. 0 I O A mosquito marred the perform- ance “The Enchanted April" the the other evening.

No. l, in the at- tempt to fly from San Francisco to Hawaii. by the failure of heavier- ihan-air craft to accomplish the most important part of the MacMillsn ex- pedition's mission in the Arctic. and especially by the Shenandoah dis- aster. The dlrigible is far harder hit than the plane. ’eo much so that it is ‘quite ”likely a full‘stcp has been put to its deveIOpment in the United States. at any rate for the present.‘ Public confidence even in the plane certainly has been consider- ably shaken. I 0 Not only were Army and Navy flycrs looking forward hopefully to very kindly consideration of their plans by Congress next winter, but a strong movement was afoot in the interest of a Government subsidy for commercial aviation. The Army and New men may still get. more or less. what they want. but an extremely black eye has been dealt to the argument that airships have rendered surface fleets obsolete for sea-warfare. The subsidy advocates contend that an impetus simply cannot be given to commercial flying by any other means. The recent set- backs. however. have not improved their chances, of convincing the national lawmakers of its desira- bility. I O . The possibility exists that two not- able alrmen will find their hands strengthened by what has been hap- pening—Col. "Billy" Mitchell. who insists that aviation is being misman- aged by both Army and Navy and that a separate Government depart- ment ought to be created for it. and Capt. James V. Martin, who main- tains that American flying craft are No Wonder He Bails Over Occasionally cm. mi. I it Sure ms were linear Ills Wig».

I 0 0 "it’s a punishable offense." says Capt. Martin. himself a master mari- ner. "to send a surface ship to sea without an adequate supply of fuel—- not merely enough but a. safe mar- gin—for her port of destination. Yet this is just what was done with the Px-il, No. 1. . f‘ll‘or a 2.000-mile voyage, she had. 'even theoretically. only a. 300'- mile margin of ssfetly. it should have been at least s. LOGO-mile mar. gin. Nor is this at all impossible. France has now and England is building planes with a Limo-mile range. carrying a. LOGO-pound load. This same type of plane. when offered to our. Government. was rejected." 0 O S "The number of our military avia- tion fatalities." continued the cap- tain. “is shocking. “Our flyers operate with seven- year-old machines-old in construc- tion and material and old in type. "They should have been con- demned three years ego. They‘re unequipped with the multiple power drive. “They‘re death traps. "What brought Col. Mitchell down recently?-—-lucklly uninjured. He had no safety motor. Our aviators are the best in the world. but their machines—" 0 O 0 “As for dirigibles." concluded concluded Capt. Martin. "all are de- stined. sooner or later. to disaster. In their very nature, they’re frail. They must be enormously large to have much lifting power. Their frameworks must be of the lightest or they couldn't carry it. Thus their strength is dissipated. A dirigible is a. weak machine—essentially. Under stress of any kind they inevitably crumple and fall to pieces." Letters ‘To The Editor , Editor Evening Sentinel.

He also finds that the dances and other ceremonials are not on the wane but are undergoing a revival.
