** Coolitifr ntul the Senate
Turkey Hon Heligum,
f ARTHUR BRISBANE^
Tha week and* uneomfortahly,
Mark* discouraged, hears ksif, the
president lecturing the senate, radi
< al republicans joining with drmn
crate to tight the adminletration,
and rather dreary news from
Kurope.
When will ths world settle down
and realise that It* only real trou
ble Is Ita own foolishness and get
to work?
Germany accept* In theory the
llawe* report and, whd# complain
ing of tho amount, she will en
deavor to pay the various billion*
outlined—unlesa she changes her
time.
At the same time, Poland bor
rows 400,000,000 franc* from
Franco “to finance military pur
chase*.'' This is part of the spend
ing by which France seeks to build
up a ring of military nllies around
Germany to stave off future at
tacks.
It is as though New York, afraid
of an attack from Pennsylvania,
should lend hundreds and thousands
of millions to New Jersey, Illinois
and other states by way of subsi
dizing friendship.
What a pity Europe cannot have
some sort of qn American union of
0**<ttes. And what an idiot Uncle
Sam would be to get himself in
volved in that European system,
through a league or in any other
way. _
In China pirates ara robbing
ships, Europeans on their way
along the Chinese coast, are an
swering the firing. Commerce
under difficulties.
Roumania is trying to make an
offensive a: d defensive alliance
with Turkey through Kemal’s fight
ing Turkish government.
Italy has a quarrel with Rou
mania. And Trotzky, head of the
Russian army, with health restored,
back in Moscow, announces that he
will not allow the working people
of Bessarabia to remain under the
domination of Roumanian nobles.
This isn’t a peaceful world and
the amount of money Germany can
pay won’t last long, if wholesale
fighting starts again. .
The big fight for 1924 will cen
ter around President Coolidge’s re
buke of the senate, which is un
usually emphatic since he accuses
the senate of wandering away from
“the law of the land.”
Cyrus H. K. Curtis, who llvea In
Philadelphia and watches Pennsyl
vania politics, says through his
newspaper that it was Pinchot who
suggested that Couzens hire Heney,
a hard and able legal fighter of the
Pacific coast, to help with the sen
ate investigation.
Politics as steady diet Is tlre
»ome, and the people are becoming
hardened to investigations.
But it would be a serious thing
for the United States and the good
management of national finances if
Mr. Mellon, in disgust, should give
up the job that he has managed so
ably.
Kemal Pasha, the Turkish Musso
lini, having sent the poor caliph
wandering away from his collection
of wives, now forbids the teaching
of religion in schools and will close
all foreign schools in which re
ligious education is given.
It's a mistake to forbid eombin
ing arithmetic with religion if the
parents want it. But so far as the
Turkish schools are concerned, it.
would be an excellent idea to stop
or modify the old system. Unfor
tunate little boys in Mohammedan
schools sat all day long droning
over meaningless passages of the
Koran—while the master sat above
them with a rod so long that he
could hit any one of them on the
head without leaving his seat.
Thia was too much religion, too
much rod, too little arithmetic.
“It’a tha man” that counta In
erarjrthing, including railroading.
New York Central profits went up,
tha priea of stock went up. That
meant President Smith of the New
York Central, who unfortunately
was killed the other day.
Now the Erie railroad shows
wonderful progress, with profits for
1923 above eight millions as against
a loss in 1922. That means Under
wood, president of the Erie rail
road.
Railroads complain that they
•shan’t live, and that they need higher
rates. What many of them need is
higher grade managers. You can’t
build a railroad by watching the
stock ticker, and that’s what many
gentlemen have tried to do.
Thera Is excitement in Chicago
and elsewhere because a few young
gentlemen at college have declared
for pacifism and against war. The
same thing on a greater scale has
cropped out among young men in
England. There is nothing remark
able about it. If you eat a quail
every day you can’t bear the sight
of a quail at the end of 30 days.
War lasts a certain length of time,
and then you get tired of it. The
world has had a lot of war recently;
some are tired of it, and no won
der.
Jerry Dunne, greatest rough and
tumble fighter on record—he had
killed several—said to this writer,
“when two men fight, both want to
quit. If one makes up his mind to
stick, he will win.”
What young gentlemen mistake
for philosophical patriotism is really
reluctance to fight and get hurt,
even in a good cause, and that isn’t
creditable.
Our civilization and liberties
exist because men in the past have
n^.een willing to fight for them.
Young men that would hesitate to
fight for them now would not be
worth the money spent to educate
them. But these young men only
imagine themselves pacifists, and if
war really broke out, probably
would fight as well as anybody.

Mnw Mrs, Marks H«* t« the
f m**|*ni |,
With Mr* Maths' hand gripping
my ttlil enmnelllnaly, I listanrd
tensely with her for tha sound aha
was stirs Would sowa^a summons
upon tha door of (ha halt common In
hoth of our apaitinente. And wh»n
It did ooma, (ha rinsing of another
hell than tha on# of tha vestibule he
low, she r*lnred my hand and drear
S deep brent h
"Now. listen here, dearie." she
whispered tensely, and to rny own
surprise, I found myself yielding to
her dominance of the situation, "I
haln't got nothin' to tie nfrnld of, now
Unit those coats era In here, Bo I
ran go to the door with a smooth
fnco. We can't get those conta back
now. He'd think you were In It as
deep aa me. Bo I'll go to the door
and stall him. If he's for ms. h* o*n
look all through my place, he won't
find a button not belonging to me.
And If be ask* for you—what do you
want me to do, tell him you nln t
here? Tut out your light* and mayhe
he’ll believe me. I'll pretend I don't
know nothin' about you.”
"No, I must see him,” I returned
firmly. “It Is—a business matter”—
my conscience stirred uneasily 'and
It will be better If I talk to him.
But I ahalt be very grateful If you
will keep him In the hall until I can
dress.”
I was changing my slippers for
pumps as I spoke, and Mrs. Marks
stepped briskly to the door.
••I’ll keep him,” she said. "But
you watch out. I’ll call through the
door, and you can catch my cue
and answer."
She turned with her hand on th#
doorknob, and flashed me her gamln
llke grin. The tortured fear in her
eyes had been replaced by a Joyous
confidence. With the Incubus of ths
furs gone, she appeared to believe
herself a match for any member of
the police force.
Madge Recognizee a Voice.
I waa puzzled for a few aeconda
to hear no sign of her in the hall.
Perhaps ahe had no Intention of
answering the doorbell, but was tak
ing the opportunity to get out of
the rear entrance of the building to
which ahe had access through her
apartment. Then I heard her high
heel* come clicking noisily down the
hall, and paid a mental tribute to
her artistry. She had stolen unshod
to her apartment, so that she might
present the effect of a nervous hur
ried housewife answering the bell.
I had thrown off Dicky's bathrobe,
and was hastily Investing myself
with the gown from my wardrobe
that was most quickly and easily
fastened. My strained ears heard
the click which told me that Mrs.
Marks had put the chain on the
door that prevents It opening more
than a few Inches. Then 1 heard
her voice, querulous, Impatient.
"For the love of Lulu, what's eatln’
you, ringin' a body’s ears off? Well,
what do you want? I don't know
you.”
"Maybe It's Just as well you don't.”
I heard a deep voice reply, and
placed the voice at once as that of
the man who had talked to me at
Sag Harbor. "As for what I want,
look here.”
There was a second’s pause, then

A delightful 10-day test
Try Her Way
The way millions now employ to fight
film on teeth
Tit the method which is bring*
mg the prettier teeth yon see.
It is the modern method of teeth
cleaning. Millions now employ it
The results are seen in every circle,
in those whiter, cleaner teeth.
It means new beauty, new clean
liness, new charm. Let this test
prove that to yon.
Wby teeth decay and discolor
Yon feel on teeth a viscous film.
Much of it clings and stays. No
ordinary tooth paste can effectively
combat it
Food stable, etc, discolor it, as
it forma dingy coats. That is why
so many teeth are clouded.
Film also holds food substance
which ferments and forms add. It
holds the add in contact with the
teeth to cans* decay. Germs breed
by millions in it> Thev, with tartar,
are the chief came of pyorrhea.
Very few escaped these troubles
under old ways of tooth brushing.
Just because they did not combat
that film.
Science Has In late ftifl found
effective film combatant*. One dis
integrates the film at all stages of
formation. One removes it with
out harmful scouring.
Able authorities fa
these methods effective,
type tooth posts has
to apply them daily. The name is
Pepsodent.
Leading dentists ths world over
began to urge this method. Now
careful people of some 50 nations
employ it in their homes.
No o— on doubt tin mob
The remits aro quick and con
vincing And they are necessary.
Pepsodent multiplies ths alkalinity
of the saliva. That is there to neu
tralise mouth acids-' It multiplies
the ptyalin in saliva. That is there
to digest starch deposits on teeth.
These combined results bring
one quickly a new conception of
what clean teeth mean.
Send the coupon for a 10-Day
Tube. Note how clean the teeth
feel after using. Mark ths absence
of the viscous film. Set bow teeth
become whiter as the film-costs
disappear.
Then decide if your boms should
adopt this modern method. Cut
out coupon now.
