Little difficulty will be encountered in ac cepting as well founded the report from Wash ington that Great Britain is ready to join with the United States in definitely limiting nava! grmament. Reasons for this are many and potent. A community of interest exists, which Bnder ordinary considerations means that the two navies will stand as one in the great task pf preserving peace and order in the world. Any ambitious power would be notified in ad vance, almost, that naval supremacy would entail armament equivalent to the combined Strength of the United States and Great Britain, B physical impossibility for any now existing, fjuch assurance is the best possible guaranty. Ambassador Harvey'a discussion of an al liance between the two great English-speaking nations has served to excuse another parade of the League of Nations. Whatever form of un derstanding comes out of .the Washington con ference, and one will come, it is not probable that it. will partake of any of the features of the League ofsNations, save as any international agreement for the benefit of all existing gov ernments might so resemble' the Versailles pact, fend only to. that extent. Policies and purposes may be stated, composed and accepted, without being written into hard and fast treaties or compacts.' Alliances of the sort contemplated by the expiring agreement between England and Japan, for example, are repugnant to Ameri cans. This, however, does not necessarily involve the question of naval armament. , A practical aspect of the proposal as it will be presented to the conference involves the determination of what force is required for purely defensive, pur poses. Great Britain is willing that the United States , navy should be brought- to a parity, with the British, hitherto the most powerful in the. world. On the completion of our present pro gram the gun strength, of otir navy will slightly exceed that of England. It is possible, then,, that construction will not be immediately slopped, but , future building will be less and less of a burden. Japan has . given notice of intention to carry out its present , plans for building, which will leave it far short of the separate strength of either of the two dominant navies, Jet alone their combined power. With the United States in the Philippines for an indefinite time, an agreement with Japan as to fortification of the islands is of prime im portance. Unless the Japanese government is seriously looking to hold control of the western Pacific, defense of our island dependencies will not require targe sums for land works. Con sideration of these elements must necessarily involve" specific understandings as to the general policy to be pursued by all the countries, and means" frank and full exchange of views as to the national aspirations of each of the partici pants. Japan's reluctance and England's will ingness to enter the conference on Mr. Hard ing's terms are thus made dear. merely national mind is the unneighborly mind." If neighbors pull against each other and cities are torn by internal differences, what chance is there of lasting agreement with the people of other lands? The building unit of a nation is the commun ity, in spite of all state lines or other subdi visions. Successful international arrangements mutt rest on the same foundation. The prob Jems of the city touch every resident more closely than do any other governmental ques tions. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, while guaranteed by the nation, are community obligations. A governed world !s not possible without governed communities. A neighborly world is impossible without neighbors. If men ' and women do not understand their obligations to those who live In daily contact with them, then they will not be capable of maintaining friendly relations with strangers. Not enough attention is paid to building up civic spirit Mr. Mackaye is right there. OJfer From the Soviet Why Lenin Doos Not Get Boon He Craves. Putting a Kick in Water. Take it. how you will this is the age of water. That's true even in Germany, where prohibition is unknown. South - Germany, the news comes, is relying on water to pull it out of economic and industrial drouth. Waterways and water power are the means by which this district hopes to save 3,000,000 tons of coal a year, produce 400,000 horsepower from hydro-electric plants, and open a cheap transportation route to the Balkans. Work on the canalization of the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers is to start next spring, with ten years of work ahead before completion. ' If impoverished Germany can undertake such an enterprise, surely the United States and Canada can put through their own project, that of the Lakes-to-Ocean waterway. If congress will act promptly, it need not be 10 years be fore this channel is opened. The saving, more over, would be much larger than that of the German canal. ' Four million horsepower and the saving of, 49,000,000 tons of coal each year would result from the St. Lawrence waterway. This, too, in addition to the economy in cost of transportation. Congressman Jefferis of the Omaha district has interested himself actively in this American proposal, and in a speech before a Canadian convention expressed the conviction that the electric power secured from the canal would more .than pay the costs of construction. En gineers bear this statement out '-.' Soon the bill to authorize construction will be introduced in congress. It ought to go through without opposition. Community Spirit rirst. A good deal of thought is inclining in the di rection pointed by Percy Mackaye in his lecture here. This is that by paying more attention to community affairs cleaning up his own door step, so to speak will man prepare the way for international peace' and understanding. "Neighborliness in a little town may beget eeighborliness of nations," he said. "The in. ternational mind is the neighborly mind; the Deflation of the Farmer Ends. Things are looking brighter for the farmer. Justice, though tardy, has been rendered the food producers of Nebraska, Iowa and other western states by the reduction to 5 per cent of the rediscount rate of the Federal Re serve bank. Economists and business experts who can not be considered as special advocates of agriculture have said for a long time that trade revival depends more than anything else on bringing the prices of farm products up' to the level at which other articles are sold. Cheaper and freer credit in the producing sections is a step in the direction of restoring agriculture to a profitable basis. The country bankers of Nebraska are en titled to praise for the energetic way in which they presented this view to the officials of the Tenth Federal Reserve district. It no doubt is true, as these officials assert, that large re serves and the improved general financial situa tion have made it possible to lop 1 per cent off the rediscount rate. But it was Governor Mc- Kelvie's letter to the head of the system that brought tht subject up, and the rural bankers carried on a campaign to which The Bee was glad to lend its aid. Without the aid of any organized effort in other states, Nebraska sees its object accomplished. There is no reason for controversy over why the rate was dropped, but it will not do to say that the measured opinion and careful advice of men familiar with local financial conditions have no influence with the credit machinery of the Federal Reserve. For all that, the lowered interest rate is evidence of a more plentiful supply of money than has existed for 18 months. With the ex ception of agriculture, prices have reached a stabilized position. There are many encourag ing elements, among which are improved buying, increased manufactures and lessened unemployment Old debts are being liquidated in good volume, Liberty bonds and other se curities are higher, and the reserve strength of the financial system, as represented in the Fed eral Reserve, is increased. Deflation made prices more unequal than they were during the high price era. Industry was disorganized, confidence1 weakened and bus iness morale shot to ' pieces. Gradually these adverse factors are being overcome. The signal now has been given that deflation of the farmer is at an end. There could have been no other thing which could have given the encourage ment to Nebraska that this new rediscount rate has brought ' , (From the New York Times.) Recognition has sometimes been extended to governments founded in blood and continu ing by terrorisir, particularly when they showed signs of perman.nce and other governments felt that they muit get on with them somehow. No such warrant can be pleaded for recognizing the soviet government in Kusna in return for it promise to admit the validity and obligation of Russian debts contracted prior to the beginning of the war. The government carried on by Lenine, Trotzky and the Soviets is near a col lapse. That has been made evident by the desperate bids they nave been making for out side support, They have professed an abandon ment of their communistic principles and of their hatred of capitalism: they have admitted their experiment was premature; they have In vited foreign capitalists to come in and develop Russian resources; they have pointed to the re moval of the ban on private ownership and trade. If they had not been in a bad way and threatened with disaster, none of these things would have been done. Recognition by foreign governments would be an immense encourage' ment to them; it would strengthen their author ity, it woijld indefinitely prolong the agony of i.u3ia. Moreover, they proffer a contract without 'J .! .Lf I - - - - 1. 1 1 . ' J J consideration, incir Bargain is wiiouy uiic-biucu What they say is in effect, ' Recognize and con firm our right to devastate and ruin Russia, to starve its workmen and shoot all the mem bers of the intelligent classes, and we will recall the repudiation of Russia's foreign debt." Con tinuance of the soviet rule would make it impos sible for Russia to pay any part of its foreign debt, and that, is precisely the condition that political recognition of the soviet government would bring about 1 he Kussian land, the Kus sian people, have abundant resources in their natural wealth and their industry. Ihe Kussian state under soviet control, now that the stolen gold has been squandered, has no resources whatever, save the power to , issue worthless ruble notes. Under the administration of affairs by Lenine and Trotzky and their kind Russia will never be able to pay any part of its debt, hardly be able to make any beginning with the interest It is necessary that this truth should be recocnized, for this new offer of the soviet gov ernment, absurd and hollow as it is, might be erasoed at by creditor nations hungry for pay ment. It would have some support from the mercantile class who encouraged the British government to make a treaty with Russia for the reopening of trade: and, of course, the spout ing radicals and "liberals" will applaud it. Eng land has had her lesson. She learned that while trade with Russia was an illusion, Russian bol shevik were carrying on their propaganda for undermining British power in the near east and in India. The pestilent propagandists are at work much nearer home than India. They are busy in London, they are preaching their doc trines in American cities. Proof is ample that the communists and the soviet government are one, as was pointed out long ago by our De partment of State, and with a government pro fessing such principles, a government that is the declared enemy of every civilized government, there can be no friendly relations. Our policy toward the Russian people is one of unchang ing friendship, of interest v. nd of concern for their welfare. With the proletariat tyrants who have brought them to starvation and ruin we can have no dealings whatever. That policy was laid down in Secretary Colby's note to the Italian ambassador in August, a year ago. There has been no occasion to change it. On How Much May a Man Marry? In Wise King Solomon's Day.' Solomon might have written "of the mak ing of many strikes, there is no end." He didn't. There was an open shop when the x temple was built, and no eight-hour day in all Jerusalem. Brooklyn Eagle. As a matter of fact, several million good men and true, scattered m all countries- of the globe, believe that Solomon's Temple was con structed by members of a great labor union, of which Solomon himself was the head. These also believe the eight-hour day prevailed on the job, and teach as a fundamental principle of their order that the twenty-four hours of the day fall naturally into three divisions "eight hours for the service of God and a distressed worthy brother, eight hours for our usual vocations, and eight for refreshment and sleep." It was in Egypt under Pharaoh that the long work day and the open shop prevailed. General Dawes, director of the budget, has not been long in running against a snag in congress. Although be bas requested co-ordination in the purchase of government supplies, the joint congressional committee on printing has gone ahead and ordered the public printer to purchase paper as before. Public opinion is behind General Dawes, and congress should not forget that ' We do not get the logic of the coal .miners striking because the court has ordered the com pany not to hold out union dues. Nothing in the order prevents the miner from paying his dues to the proper officer of the union. At the recent eugenic congress it was charged that college girls were unwilling to marry unless' they are assured many comforts and luxuries and that this was one of the causes of the decline of the birth rate among the fit. The officers of Goucher college in Baltimore thought this an unjust reflection on college girls, and to refute it sent out a question to its students; "On how small a sum do you think a young couple could safely marry in these days to live in the city?" Of the 103 answers re ceived the average estimate was $48 a week. Six of the girls gave estimates of $4,000 a year or over, running up to $8,000 in one instance. President Guth seems to think that this con sensus refutes the charge of the eugenists, but to millions of people who have raised families on much smaller sums, ' even allowing for the present small purchasing power of money, it will seem to support the charge. A young man with sufficient education and background to be interesting to a college srirl is fortunate if he is earning $40 a week at 30 or $50 a week at 40. The standard which these college girls set up would postpone marriage among those best fitted to rear and tram children from 10 to IS years later than the time at which physicians and moralists alike urge that marriage should be undertaken. Late mar riages are unfortunate not merely because they limit the number of children ,but in many other ways. Influences which promote them are anti social, and if -the college education of girls is such an influence then the opponents of the higher education of women have something real on which to base their opposition.

What Are "Morala?" The children's court in New York has sum moned more than 200 of the city's educators, edi tors and other prominent men and women for symposium on the subject, has a child of morals? as the result of a legal contention in a case on trial. What are morals? There is no question but that a child of S, properly brought up, knows that it is wrong to steal or to lie. How does he know it's wrong? Because he knows that he will be punished if he does either. But the argument will be made that the child is swayed by fear and not by morality. A man of 30 is tempted to steal but refrains. Why? Often, too often, it is because he is afraid of ap prehension and punishment. Consciously or sub consciously there is fear of reprisal, if not in this world, then m the next. There are those who will claim that they do the right thing because it is right. How do they know it is right? Is it not because the experience of generations has shown that punishment in evitably follows failure to do certain things a certain way? The student of ethics can perhaps show that fear does not always enter into a consideration of right or wrong, but it will require .convincing evidence to prove that the boy of S and the man of 25 are not morally curbed by the same shadow of fear of punishment.

They are called the thyroid aland and the neck la the location. In periods of great strain thla gland is called to do so much worn that it not inrra ouently enlarge".. H I tor this rea son that thyroid enlareemnt ire nuentlv occurs durlnir fetal life, dur ing the years of puberty and adoles cence, during pregnancy, as a re suit of mental shock or violent emo tional storm, and as the result of sore throat or some other infection. But not all people or animals other than man get thyroid enlarge ment as the result of great strain. What Is the reason? People differ, Some stand up under. stress better than others. But that Is a conclu slon Itself and at best Is only a par tlal answer. In further explanation it Is said that if the thyroid can get all the iodine It needs It produces all the thyroid secretion needed for spur ring without harming itself, but if the sunDlv or iodine is snore, u it must "make bricks without straw," It enlarges or otherwise shows signs of disease. Acting upon this theory, ft is pro posed to give a very small nose or Iodine to people passing ' tnrougn periods of great stress. Carrying out this theory, a little iodine should be given to pregnant women to sup ply themselves and their babies, to adolescent girls, to persons subject to frequent sore . throats, ana to those passing through periods of great worry and emotional strain. The list oc tnose wno snouia lane It is further limited. It should not be given to people near salt water. They get enough from the. air, the spray and from sea food. Since girls are six times as prone as boys to develop goiters, it may not be necessary to give it to boys. Uo to now the only groups wno have taken small doses of iodine as a preventive and cure for goiter are certain school children. The amount given is very ' small. Drs. Marine and Kimball now advise about two grains of iodide of soda once a day for two days out of eaoh week one month. This is given twice a year durinz the BPrlng and autumn. In time it may be found that the dose. can be made smaller still with advantage. In one Swiss experiment the prevalence of simple goiter in a group of school children was re duced In 15 months from su per cent to 28 per cent. The method is thought to cure cases of simple goiter in the early stages, as well as to prevent It should not be used in the goiters accompanied by bulg ing of the eyes. One Diabetic's Experience. . J. J. writes: "I am a diabetic and have been one for 12 years. I am 64. I have been very careful of myself, have tried everything, but find Dr. Joslln's book of great value.' I have found trypsogen of value. I first started with gluten bread, which would have sent me across In short order; then I switched to Jireh flour, .but found there was too much carbohydrates, then for years have been using Hepco flour In the muffins, which are very much superior to bran. A friend of mine who also is troubled with the same disease urged me to try the soy bean flour, which I have done; it is very palatable, but find the specific gravity raised to 1.03Z. can you give me any Idea of the amount of arbohydrate which it contains? . I purchased this flour from the Cen tral Free dispensary of Chicago. I find a little whisky of great benefit, when it is obtainable: a pint will serve for six weeks; also fats and salt fish are what my system , re quire." REPLY. Various analysis of soy bean meals and flours give the carbohydrate contents of the stock examined as ranging from 26 to 35 per cent car bohydrate, but the carbohydrate is not supposed to be converted Into sugar in the human body. Pasteurizing Milk. Mrs. C. H. writes: "Can you tell mo how to pasteurize milk for a baby? Can it be done successfully at home? . Is it running a. risk to take a healthy 9 months old baby who has' been fed on pasteurized milk to the country and allow him to have milk fresh from our own cows without pasteurizing it? Would it be best to give it to him warm from tho cow or to cool it in the regular way? The baby is above the average weight and has eight teeth." REPLY. . ' It is safe enough if you are sure thu cows are not tuberculous. The only way to be sure of that is by having them tuberculin tested. Milk can be pasteurized in the home. Health departments supply leaflets telling how to pasteurize at home. Briefly the method consists in set ting the bottle in a kettle of water, the water reaching to the level of the milk. A spoon should be used to keep the bottle from resting flat on the bottom of the kettle. The water is heated until the milk reaches 150 degrees and it is held at about that for about 20 minutes. If a thermometer is not available the milk is apt to be warm enough when little vapor bubbles form at the edge of the bottle.

To the Editor of Tha Deo: Homers' day nad arrived. Tha Auditorium was crowded to overflowing. Ulpsy bmlth s fare was beaming in antlclputlon of tha joy and the "golden hour" which had been planned for the shutlna and tha mothers by tha kindly hearts of the committee. everything was in full swing. The program was being carried out to perfection and It seemed that the grant miiaa of peo ple that thronged tha Auditorium wars palpitating in unison of thought and it was evident tha Chrlat spirit had taken possession of their hearts. There were representatives from every state in the union but four. Every foreign country but a minor few was also represented by a num ber of individuals. Jt was to be a wonderful afternoon and so it proved to be. from the opening address to the benediction there waa not a flaw, but all went smoothly. The love of Clod waa In the hearts of the people who had gathered there. The gorgeous flowers, Gipsy Smith's beaming countenance, the clear tenor voice of Mr. AlcEwen mingling with that of his own, in song, the touching presentation of a wonderrul basket of flowers by two tiny, sweet-faced girls in white with the words "To Our Beloved Gipsy Smith, From the Choir," the sweet, soprano voice in solo by a young lady member of the M. E. church choir, followed with a talk by Mrs. Orey, a friend of Gipsy Smith's, were all splendidly and effectively carried out. Then cams the mes sage, so ably delivered from the gipsy's lips. It was a message of Jesus' sorrows, indignities and heartaches from those who could not understand Htm and His untir ing spirit that were revealed by His healing the sick and administering to those who so much needed Him at times, without stopping for food or drink during His mission here on earth. It was a day that would long be remembered in the hearts of those who had gathered there. The faces of the shutlns and numberless moth ers formed a picture wonderful to gaze upon as they beamed with love and anticipation of the Joy the day was . to bring them. The many voices uplifted in song mingling with music produced by the magic touch of Mr. Young's hands upon the ivory keys of the piano seemed to soar straight toward heaven from the hearts of the audience. It was sight which had a tendency to create within the human heart a faith in the nobility of souls. As I sat overlooking the vast crowd of people who had collected there, and glad in their gladness, my eye fell upon a young and whole some-looking man in front and a trine to the right of where I was sitting. His face, honest and clean; was beaming with health and his dark, expressive eyes were clear and bright He sat there wrapped in at tention, his head at times bowed in sincere prayer unabashed and un ashamed to reveal to those about him that he had Jesus in his heart It brought to my mind these thoughts: We somehow expect those older and more experienced in life to turn to God for peace of mind and spirit when in trouble and after they have been tossed about on rest less seas of life, yes this is a thing not so to be wondered at But when we stop and contemplate the many temptations lurking in the path of tha youth of today to lure them on the road of destruction and sin, well, this Is another thing. ' ' And it somehow brings a greater rejoicing to the heart when one sees such a young man as the one of whom I am writing, clean and pure and spiritual, marching bravely un, uimbaahed and unafraid to proclaim to the world hla aeceutance of the Savior who died to redm us from sin. Aa he sat thus in oblivion of all about him, deep in devout thoutht and with tha Christ spirit in his heart, 1 gated long upon him and with a prayer in my heart (though a atrancer to ma), for hla future and that his lift nileht aver be conse crated to God. J'ea, of all that vaat audience, thla waa the thing that touched, fny heart tha most Thla young man, may ha be an example to thoae about him, and tha cause of bringing other youths to accept enrut aa ne naa. Mayhap soma day he will stand aa Gipsy Smith is standing and deliver Jesus' inraaitge to the world. A 8UBHCHI13EK. THE SPICE OF LIFE. ballT In mora Frof, -Do you alaat in currntryT flchol.
