Way to Happiness
Perpetual youth is an impossibility, but
some men and women can develop a wonder
fully close imitation of it. It is their spontane
ous joy in the better things of life, their pride
of companionship, or workmanship, of fine re
sults and wholehearted interest in others that
keep them, young and happy even when the
clouds obscure the sun and life grows sud
denly flat, and stale. We may not expect to
live narrow, lives and profit by them. The time
will come When our loneliness will mock us.
when our unhappiness will discourage us and
when our lack of worthwhile achievement will
fill us with dismay. Sooner or later we begin
ta Jook back and try to count up the treasures
we have accumulated. What a commentary itA
is upon our mode of living when we find our
treasuries empty and our hearts wrung with
bitterness 1 Thrice happy is he who, having
' caught life's fuller meaning in the fullness of
his development, had the courage and the wis
dom to seek through his ministrations to others
to fill his treasure chest against the rainy days
of life. The spirit of joy never leaves the
breast of the truly sympathetic toiler in the
orat vineyard of existence. He acknowledges
the rights of others and willingly sacrifices his I
own if they should happen to oar tor otners tne
way to happiness. He shows through his spirit
of self-sacrifice better than by any other means
bow truly sincere is his interest in the welfare
f those about him, and it is upon this self
sacrifice, this willingness to further the good
of others if need be through his own disap
pointment that the finest, truest, most inspio
ing lives are reared. Charleston News and

"CLARIFICATION OF COUNSEL."
The president has quite happily phrased the
situation r with regard to the peace treaty. What
is imperatively needed is "clarification of coun
sel." Conferences between the senators and the
executive are leading up to this. One feature
of the progress so far made has been the ex
planation to Mr. . Wilson in a way that he
comprehends the gravity of the situation from
his standpoint Unless he consents to reserva
tions, the treaty will be rejected in toto by the
senate. '
Defects in the document to which objection
are not the minor points the president feels
' may be cleared away by explanations. They
are fundamental. The possible tremendous
power of the governing board of the league
under Article X isMhe chief stumbling block.
Republicans are firm in the position that on this
a distinct reservation must be made.
A similar reservation is proposed in connec
tion with purely American questions. This is
for the purpose of preserving the Monroe
Doctrone, the traditional 'policy under which
the western continents have been developed to
their present greatness and illimitable pros
pects. In taking this stand, any right or intent
to interfere with Eifropean affairs is specifically
abjured.
Reservations on' these points to the covenant
setting up the League of Nations are not, as
has been asserted by some of its champions,
fata! to the peace treaty. , They will simply
operate to give to the United States a distinct
and definite protection in the management of
its own business and not leave all to the de
cision of a court beyond the control of the
people.
The president admits that he did not achieve
all he sought in Paris. It is known that Article
X was not in the original Smuts draft on which
the league was formed. It is not an essential
part of a league to preserve peace. Mr. Wilson
made compromises at Paris, and he can well
afford to make others at Washington, when
they concern so intimately the future of his
country and the welfare of its people.
Views and Reviews
Remodeling of Bee Building
- 4 Not a New Project
The work of remodeling the Bee building
now in evidence evokes quite a few expressions
of wonderment and some of regret that any
change in the appearance of the building should
be permitted, s
"I don't believe we would see this if your
father were alive," declared an old friend to
tne, and another, "The building ought to re
main exactly as it was originally constructed
as a monument to the man who put it up.
To these my answer" has been this: "Per
haps. But-my father realized for a long time
the ultimate necessity of remodeling the build
ing and had the question ot reconstruction
more than once under serious consideration."
The fact is, the Bee building has already
uuucikuiic several niiuuriiiui tuaiiKcs which
would be clearly apparent by contrasting car
Her and later pictures of it. The interior court,
for example, was originally entirely open, the
ornamental fountain in the center having been
afterwards installed. As its special feature, the
front of the building on the ground floor
showed the beautiful polished granite columns
standing out in front of deep inset doorways
and windows, since covered up by building out
extension windows, hrst on the west side of
the main entrance to accommodate a-tenant,
and then removed, only to be restored later
uniformly on the whole Farnam street side.
Again, while the main entrance of the Bee
Duuaing opened on rarnam street, there wat
at first a second entrance through the central
arch on Seventeenth street. It was expected
that people cutting across through these two
entrances would use - the building as a thor
oughfare, back and forth, from Farnam and
Seventeenth. It turned out that the second
entrance took up space that could be more
profitably utilized, so it was closed ind made
into an office room.
Jazz in the Churches.
Some comment has been exejted by' the ac
tion of certain ministers of the gospel who
have sought to attract attendance to service
by introducing various sensational novelties.
"Jazz" andvaudeville, and similar innovations,
scarcely comport with rp ordinary notion of
religion, although they 1 may setve to induce
curiosity-seekers to look in at the churchSs
where they are on display.
A better way would seem to be the preach
ing of religion in a more attractive form. The
moral law has not been repealed or suspended,
but frequently it has been madi abhorrent
through its interpretation. Religion holds com
fort for all. It should be made warm and up
lifting. Man is not brought nearer to God by
undignified performances in or out of the pul
pit. Even among the pagan savages, religious
ceremonials, however grotesque they might ap
pear to the educated observer, yet had a dig
nity and severity fully understood by the be
nighted'worshiper, who through them sought to
propitiate the deity whose favor he needed.
English soldiers were'astonished at the lack
of reverence noted among religious workers
with our army. They could not comprehend
the free and easy methods adopted, religion
to them being a solemn, holy thing, and the ap
proach to the sanctuary one to be taken se
dately. This does not meanthat devotion en
tails abnegation of all pleasure. Religion can
be made joyous as well as austere. An Omaha
minister recently answered an inquiry by say
jinga "I do not believe in the devil having all
jthe fun." It is not wicked to enjoy rationally
all the Maker put into the world to be enjoyed.
Religion should fill the soul with gladness, not
fear, and make the world a beautiful place to
live in, with happiness here as well as hereafter.
If the preachers who are resorting to
"jazz" and the like would but preach a simple
creed of kindness and love, they would find
their pews well filled. And they should keep
in mind Roosevelt's favorite text: "And what
doth the Lord require of thee, but to da justly,
and love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy
God."
PlarTs for more or less important structural
changes were drawn two or three. times at my
father's instance by S. S. Beman, the architect
of the Bee building. When about 15 'years
ago the project was pushed almost to com
pletion for the erection of a hotel on the cor
ner of Seventeenth and Douglas, where the
Brandeis theater now stands, part of the scheme
called for a Farnam street entrance through
an enclosed colonnade covering the sidewalk
on the east side of the. Bee building and con
necting with the hotel at the juncture of the
alley. This would have produced a portico
effect, held up by a long row of the same
polished granite columns, to make it correspond
with the general scheme of the building's
architecture. The city council actually passed
an ordinance vacating the alley to accommo
date the proposed improvements. The hotel
had already been christened "The Cosmopolitan
hotel," but the financing of it, 'though underway,
fell through because Rome Miller, who was
to have the hotel lease, persuaded himself that
he could do better by buying the 6d Bruns
wick hotel and converting it with an annex
into his present Hotel Rome. Had the Cosmo
politan hotel been built as planned, the de
velopment of upper Douglas street would of
course have been different, but would doubt
less have come sooner.
A still more radical reconstruction of the
building once sketched by an architect called
for the removal of the entire granite base up
"to the third story and the substitution of steel
and glass that would turn the first two stories
into capacious quarters for a large mercantile
establishment. By this plan, the Seventeenth
street entrance was to be restored to afford ac
cess to the offices above by elevators relocated
on that side of the building. This would
have given over the entire Farnam street
frontage to attractive show windows for two
floors above the street level, and of course
changed the character of the building from a
strictly office building to a combination of
stores and offices like the more modern big
buildings.
Sunlight and City Stunts.
One of several reasons for limiting the
height of buildings is thafthe sun may have
an opportunity to penetrate to the bottom of
the chasms which have taken the place of
streets in modern cities, f An elaborate study
df this question has been published in an east
ern technical journal, the question being con
sidered from many angles. The writers show
how the tall buildings cut off their neighbors
from the sunshine, giving formulas for calcu
lating shadow area a different hours of the
day and in latitudes from Tampa to Winnipeg.
Their conclusion is that no building should be
taller than the width of the street it'borders,
if correct results are to be obtained in the way
of sunshine and' daylight received. Orienta
tion also has much share jn the consideration
given the general problem, and on this point
it is suggested that -city streets, if possible,
be made to conform to such compass point
a- will provide the maximum of sunshine on
building fronts as well as on the surface. It
is not easy to follow the reasoning of the au
thors, although they make it clear enough that
absence of sunlight is detrimental for many
reasons. Their arguments, however, glide
right by Omaha. It may have been foresight
or merely fortuitous, but this city is so sit
uated as to permit the sun to illumin-te its
streets and alleys perfectly. East or west,
north or south, the sunshfne is on the pave
ment, and if any benefit is tobe had from that
fact, Oynaha ought to enjoy the same.
One reason the city is not buying any large
quantity of the government's surplus stock of
food is that the War department is asking very
nearly aSvtnuch for . canned stuff as fresh may
be bought for. This is not making any great
concession to the public, that paid for the food
in the first place, and mjght De willing to
pocket a small loss if some concession on price
were made.
Mr. Wilson had his own way in connection
with the bills he vetoed, congress reserving the
right to take up the daylight law under another
form later on. It will be a fight worth watch
ing, for we may in time find out on what
grounds the president rests his-statement that
the law is favored' by an overwhelming ma
jority of people ' ,
The nub of the thing is that styles in busi
ness buildings have immensely changed in the
more than 30 years elapsing since the Be
building was planned and erected and recon
struction to adapt it to present needs was only
a question of time. Tn nothing has the prog
ress of the times been demonstrated more
strikingly than in the occupancy of the building
by The Bee. When we moved into the new
home the editorial rooms and type-setting and
stereotyping departments were assigned to the
top floor, with the press room and mailing room
on the first floor, as the ideal places for them.
The lesson of experience soon taugltf that the
work of these branches must be brought in
closer proximity, though the object was not
accomplished except by several successive
moves until not a single department of the
paper remained in the original location in the
building designed especially for their accommo
dation. . .
When we are established in the remodeled
structure, retaining most of our present space,
and adding a business office opening directly
to the Fanam street sidewalk, the management,
while not particularly ideal for the paper, will.
I feel sure, be a decided improvement for
facilitating our business with the public and
will take care of the needs of our working
force in a satisfactory manner.
Cavalry of the Air
American marines in Haiti have been rein
forced with airplanes to round up bandits. The
bushwhackers are bewildered to find them
selves attacked from the rear by bombers
armed with explosives that scatter bullets more
freely than if poured from machine guns.
The bandit precedents are upset and the
prowlers lvho defy all law are at a loss for fu
ture tactics. The great war ended before the
flying squadrons raided Germany on the scale
that had become possible, and this was one
reason for the German collapse. Outfought
n land, water, and in the air, the huge arty
that had been plunging in Offensive drives
practically asknowledged that,' with resources
exhausted, it had been paralyzed. Thus it)hap
pens that air operations in the rear of armies
were not extensively tested. A speed of two
miles a minute for advance and retirement by
armed bodies of men remains an untried ele
ment in military campaigns.
But all the bandits ane not . in Haiti. In
spite of telephones, telegraphs and flying ma
chines" they scurry in and around cities with
humiliating immunity from arrest and punish
ment As a rule, they escape by automobile.
But why cannot plans be organized to block
promptly all lines of flight? The electric cur
rent, is swifter. So are airplanes. Other au
tomobiles are as fast and more numerous.
Sometimes the . bandits, who are also murder
ers by intent, take refuge in woods. A dose
of shrapnel from overhead would bring them
to terms-more quickly than a cordon of rifle
fire.
A whole city could be put on guard by an
electric -park. The bandits in other places
than Haiti are entirely too fresh. St. Louis

''Better Babies? in England
(From the London Times.)
In connection with the National
Baby Week celebrations, a national
conference on infant welfare opened
in the Kingsway hall. Sir Arthur
Newsholme presided at the morning
session, at which there was a large
attendance of delegates representing
local authorities.
The minister ot health, Dr. Addi
son, in his inaugural address said it
was a singularly fitting thing that
on the day when the powers dealing
witn health were formally trans
ferred to the ministry of health the
first duty of the minister should be
to preside at a conference on Infant
care, for if they were to formulate
and carry out well considered
schemes for improving the health
of the people they must begin at the
cradle. For the last three years the
average death rate for infants was
below 100 -per 1,900. They hoped
to see it 50 per 1,000 in the near
future. (Hear, hear.). They must!
nave as an addition to that im
proved rate of mortality a vast im
provement m the health of the
mothers and of the children who
survived. The ministry of health
recognized that one of their first
steps must be to develop their as
sistance ror all branches of service
connected with the ante-natal and
infant care, and it was on that ac
count that a department dealing
with maternity and infant care had
been established. They had a large
number of centers of one kind or
another dealing with infant wel
fare. Some'of them had been hith
erto assisted by the board of edu
cation and some by the local govern
ment board, resting in both cases
to a great extent on voluntary serv
ices for their conduct. All these
centers now came under one de
partment, and that in itself was a
vital matter. '
They must devote their efforts, he
went on, in such a way that the cen
ters were acceptable and sought
after. So far as his department was
concerned, they would keep that
fundamental need in view risrht
through, and would be no parties
to needless "stickiness' or cut-and-
drled, hard-and-fast methods, be
cause they had still a lot to learn
as to the best way of dealing with
the problems of infant life fin such
a manner as would be attractive and
accepTable to the people. . They
needed a great many more matern
ity hospitals or homes of the right
Kino. By a maternity home was
meant a place probably small in
size and simply equipped for giving
assistance in maternity cases. They
were wanted in considerable num
bers both in towns and in country
districts. Linked up with that was
the necessity for a more generous
provision of maternity hospitals
where the higher form of skilled
assistance for difficult (?ases would
bexavallable. They must secure. the
hearty co-operation and the con
fidence of the midwives throughout
the country. (Hear, hear.) They
looked to a greatly improved train
ing of midwives and better and
higher standards of employment and
pay to bring them in adequate num
bers into the general scheme and
service. The assistance of the
medical profession was also needed.
One necessity was the spread of
common, knowledge ' among thft
mothers, who often lived under very
unsatisfactory housing conditions.
It was hoped that these disabilities
would be removed. In the , new
housing bill they were inserting
powers to prescribe the minimum
requirements of a decent home, not
in general terms but in specific
matters.
"We have Just signed a treaty of
peace," said Dr. Addison, "and we
hope nqw to turn our minds to the
affairs of peace. Housing, educa
tion, and fresh air, town planning,
nurses, midwives, irtedical facilities
all these things immediately
emerge as requiring attention di
rectly you begin to tackle these
problems. , We look forward with
confidence to the work in which
Who Won the War
Omaha, July 17. -To the Editor
ot The Bee: There is bound to be
more or less academic discussion
concerning who wbn the war. Even
so prominent a leader as Sir Dougles
Haig has admitted that the British
won it Americans have been talk
ing in the same way ever since the
turn of the tide at Chateau Thierry.
The French; of course, point to the
length of the line they" held and the
fact that they were the first on the
line blocking the path of the in
vader. The Belgians have av right to
claim their initial resistance at
Liege gave the French and British
time to get under way. Quite pos
sibly the Italians could say that
their attacks divided the enemy so
as to give the others a chance on the
west front. The most unique argu
ment is undoubtedly that of the Ger
mans who claim that their former
imperial chancellor, Her von Beth-mann-HolIweg
won the war for the
entente. The Germans Bay that the
war was lost by four days; the four
days Von Bethmann-Hollweg was
trying to prevent the British "from
entering the war, back in August
1914. Thus the argument might go
on indefinitely.
But when all that sort of talk 1b
put aside and the facts are looked
squarely In the face, it is evident
that neither the British alone, nor
the Americans, nor the French, Bel
gians, Italians or Von Bethmann
Hollweg won the war. The war
was won by-co-operatlon and defi
nite progress 'to that end was made
even with each nation fighting Ger
many until the allies decided upon
and made effective unity in com
mand. Then, and not UBtil then,
was it possible to make ytogrejs
against the central powers.
At least one lessen Uka been
learned by the nations in the pres
ent war and that is that if ever
there is to be a great war in which
several nations shall co-operate
against a common enemy the first
condition for success must be unity
in command. The right command
ing officer may not be discovered at
firtl, but that will not be the fault
of the principle involved. The big
thing Is that whatever is done must
be done as a part of a general plan.
Ana lr tnur urty or command in
war is so necessary, why should
there not be at least unity of pur
pose ror tne nreservauon or peace?
Unity of command in neace time is.
of course, not practical, but agree
ments guiding each nation for the
welfare and safety of all ought, not
to be altogether Impractical. V.

Sure, Harmless Method
To Remove Hair Roots
(New, Wonderful, Instantaneous
Method)
You who are annoyed with embarrass

waited long for something that would do
more than merely take off the surface
hair temporarily something that would
really remove the hair roots. And now
at last your wish ia realized!
The new phelactine process4 is far dif
ferent from, far better than electrical, de
pilatory or other methods, because it ac
tually removes the hair entire, roots and
all before your very eyes easily, in
stantly, harmlessly! Get a stick of phe
lactine from your druggist, follow the
simple directions, and you will be surprised
and pleased beyond words. It has no odor,
no irritating element, and is bo non-injurious
a child could safely eat it It
leaves the skin so soft, smooth, hairless,
that not the least sign of your former
trouble remains. Adv.

should stamp out syphilis. The mod
ern method of treatment was very
satisfactory, and so easily done.
Sir Malcolm Morris advocated a
preventive system. "I would create,"
he said, "a system in the country so
that no marriage should take place
without a medical certificate on
both sides. (Cheers.) The moth
ers of the country should be taught
that . their girls are not to marry
unless they have a certificate ' that
the man is free from a disease which
is communicable, and the man must
be equally sure that the woman he
is about to marry is not similarly
affected." He would not make la
law that this should be carried out
He would like to see it carried out
by a strong wave of publio-opinion.
