I Combat the Foe Within I In an open letter addressed to ex-President ?aft thanking Mr. Taft for commendation Of !rt American Legion and for "the able inter pretation of the spirit and purposes" of the or ganization. National Commander Franklin J'Olier explains the three-fold purpose of the reat body of ex-service men now enrolled in ae National Legion. These three main aims it "First, "mutual helpfulness whereby all mr ' comrades who have been handicapped in ibid, body or position through service to their wntry may receive that liberal consideration bich they have reason to expect from agrate 1 and patriotic nation." Second, "protection t exit country from foes without and within." ird, "protection for our country from foes ..hia Protection from foes within is mentioned "ft, but this happens to be the particular serv V that has already put the patriotic willingness .i'the organized efficiency of the legion to e test. The Ametican people have, within t past six months, been fully aroused to the it that anarchistic propagandism is organized v this country and is attempting to operate a .volutionary program through the miseduca sn of a large industrial element mostly a ign-born element. These conspiring agitators against constttu jBil government have made themselves "the ea within." Already the American Legion has adered valuable aid in clearing out certain of e infested pestholes of red anarchy, or bol evism, or radical socialism.

We will probably hear a great deal for the next few days in regard to the credulity of those folks who fancied something dreadful might come to pass because of the accidental position of the planets. That nothing unusual did happen will confirm the wiseacres in their attitude of superiority, and the simple-minded will be dealt with in various fashions. If a trusting belief in the physical influence of the planets one on the other were the limit of mankind's gullibility, the affair could easily be laughed away. Unfortunately, we find men and women, too, of what the poet called the "sapient eye serene" who implicitly fust in things as ridiculously absurd to others as was the fear of a cataclysm on Wednesday. It is not trifling superstitions that bother the world, but fixed and determined beliefs in a larger way resting on a foundation of less or more than human experience from which flow the trouble in the world. Mankind's aspira tions are born of faith rather than of fact, and out of faith flows that active element that pro duces' the prey for the charlatan, the quack and the sharper, whether they deal in spiritual, in tellectual or physical wares. Credulity is a common lot, and the men and women who feared the end of the world might come with a planetary crash are not alone in their condition. The man who does not trust in others does not trust himself, and misses a lot of the joy of life because he has no faith. Ignorance .gives birth to superstition, and sus tains the grotesque and fantastic ideas that thrive among the uninformed. Enlightened faith buoys up the hope of humanity for better things to come, both here and hereafter, and lights the way of the race to higher achievements. Reviving International Trade. That America's export trade for the current year will reach the unprecedented total of $11, 000,000,000 is a matter for congratulation, be cause it indicates the course of industry. A large part of the increase over the prewar trade, so far as the total goes, is attributable to higher prices, but not all. We have actually produced and sent abroad more goods and wares than ever before. . Something else is involved. Great Britain's export trade continues to lead America's. We have thought of the British industry and com merce as more completely disorganized than our own, yet the total reported export trade of the United Kingdom is placed at a billion dol lars above that of the United States. This in dicates a considerably greater recovery than had been expected. Another development is of much interest. . v , ' While the exchange rate has dropped very low, and the governments on both sides have wisely determined to do nothing to interfere with or support by artificial stimulation the for eign trade of either country, recovery is being brought about in a natural way. A Britishyloan of $250,000,000 recently floated in America leaves' that government at the present with a credit balance of $150,000,000 on this side. In addition, the prewar investments of the British are now coming forward as their great asset. In 1913 between twenty and twenty-one billions of foreign securities were owned by the British. This total has been reduced by liquidation and through other causes to about fifteen billions, the annual income from which is not far from a billion dollars. This tidy sum is available for the financing of British trade through private channels. , Financiers admit that the situation as re gards foreign trade is in far better shape than might have been expected. Americans, how ever, have ceased to be debtors and are now creditors, with good opportunity to increase their foreign holdings and thus establish their prestige on a firmer foundation. The future looks very bright for our exporters. Organizing a State of Mind. The plan outlined by the attorney general of the United States for combatting the high cost of living has some attractions. It also has a few drawbacks. . 1 T1-1 1 J . . 1 iur. i uuuer lias correctly summco up ine situation as it exists, and has existed since the trouble first came to be felt. The wealthy and the wage earners are not materially affected by the cost of living. They meet it by added prof its or increased wages. Between them is a stratum of so-Called "salaried" people or in dividuals with fixed income, who can not by any hocus pocus turn one dollar into two. On these the burden has fallen.- . Adjuring them to be economical, to save in all ways, to wear out old clothing, buy the cheapest, and so on is time wasted. The bitter fact that the purchasing power of their income is cut in half long ago drove them to adopt every expedient for saving money. Many of them even have ceased to try to "keep up ap pearances," and frankly confess their inability to live as they used to. Therefore, Mr. Palmer's appeal must be made to those who seemingly can afford to pay the.(high prices. If a crusade is directed against extravagance, it must be organized amongst the workers and the wealthy. This does not mean that wages are to be reduced, but that produc tion should be increased, so that there will be more to divide. It also includes a change in buying habits. Profiteering may be based on greed, but it thrives on carelessness. The pur chaser is as blameworthy in most cases as the seller. What the attorney general plans is to organize a state of mind that will lead to a lower price level through the path of Careful buying. This will be good for everybody. - "Victory" for the League of Nations. In a by-election in the Ninth North Carolina congressional district the League of Nations was made an issue, the democratic candidate standing for and the republican against. The democrat was elected, by a majority that may reach 2,000. This is a notable "victory" for the League, and its supporters will no doubt make the most of it .Something of the sweetness will be taken from it when it is recalled that the Ninth North Carolina is one of the safest democratic dis tricts in the country, and that nomination there is looked upon as,, equivalent to election by the lucky democrat Judge Yates Webb, who has just been appointed to the federatjbench, rep resented the district for almost twenty years, with a normal majority at one election after an other of 2,500 or better. So, if his successor was able only to squeeze out 2,000 with the League of Nations as a fulcrum and lever com bined, the triumph seems to lack something in completeness. However, it may serve to lessen to the administration the bitterness of the re ulu ia Oklahoma and Kentucky. America and the Treaty From the Manchester Guardian. It is of the first importance that there should be a clear understanding on this side of the Atlantic of the deadlock over the ratification of the peace treaty in the American senate, which threatens sadly to cripple the league of nations at its birth. The Old World had looked with confidence to the New for help in forwarding that comity of the nations which alone can compensate the world for the ruin and carnage of the war. Instead, America alone of the great nations designated to found the league meets the project, when it takes practical shape, with a suspicion and hostility that may result in her abstention, and in a loss to the prestige of the league nothing short of calamitous. Of the causes of this overturn, the tendency of some of President Wilson's opponents to seize the opportunity which the treaty offers in order to discredit his policy on the eve of an election is no doubt real, but may easily be exaggerated. But the root cause is deeper, and it is on which liberal thought in Europe cannot but respect. The control of parliament over foreign policy is more firmly established and more jealously guarded in America than in any of the great democracies. With congress lies the issue of peace or war and the negotiation of treaties. It is the supreme authority in all external af fairs. Yet by the league covenant the authority of congress may be transcended at several points, and it is the main object of the drastic reservations that have been carried at the in stance of the senate committee on foreign af fairs to safeguard it. Thus the first of these makes congress the sole judge, in the event of America withdrawing from the league, whether she has fulfilled her obligations as a member. By the second the United States declines to as sume, under Article 10 of the covenant, any obligation to preserve the territorial integrity or political independence of any other state, or to make use of her forces, or to accept any mandate, except by action of congress. The third makes the United States sole judge as to what questions come within her domestic juris diction and removes these from the sphere of the league. Of the others there are 15 in all the most important are those reserving the right to break any agreement for the limiting of armaments if invasion threatens, and to dis regard economic boycott so far as it affects the nationals of belligerent states residing in Amer ica. . The sum total of these reservations, espe cially when that directed at Article 10 is under stood, is so destructive of the terms of the covenant as to make it impossible for the presi dent to submit them for the formal acceptance . ot the other powers, lwo courses are open to him. He may drop the treaty, secure the pas sage of a simple resolution declaring the war at an end, and leave America to enter the league if and when public opinion is ripe for the step. Despite Senator Lodge's declaration that the treaty is "already dead," we believe such a course would be viewed with as much dismay in America as in Europe. ' On the other hand, the president may secure the introduction of a second ratification bill, incorporating such mild er reservations as would not vitiate the treaty, in the hope that, facyd with the alternative of killing the treaty, his opponents may accept it in its new form. ' A simple majority of the senate is sufficient for the passage of reserva tions, and this the president's opponents have. A majority of two-thirds is, however, needed for ratification, and this the "strong" reserva tionists cannot command without more support from the democrats than, they have yet re ceived. If they persist, therefore, they can kill the treaty, but they cannot amend it. On the other hand, if they are willing to compromise, the treaty may yet be signed and the immense moral value of America's participation in the league from its beginning be secured. It will be the wish of all who have set their hopes on the success of the league that this may be the plan adopted. Whatever the result, it is essential for Eu rope to understand that American opposition to thetreaty is in the main the outcome not of narrow nationalism, or lack of imagination, still less of political maneuvering. It is rooted in the faults of the treaty itself. An Englishman may ask why America should be so sensitive to limitations of her sovereignty by the council of the league when the same sacrifice is asked and granted by other powers. The answer may be summed up in the words by Senator Lodge, the chairman, of the foreign relations commit tee, when he presented the majority report of the committee to the senate in September. "This covenant of the league of nations," he said, "is an alliance and not a league, as is amply shown by the treaty, which vests all essential power in five great nations. These nations also dom inate the league through the council. The com mittee believes that the league as it stands will breed wars instead of securing peace, and that it demands sacrifices of American sovereignty and independence which would in no way pro mote the world's peace, but which are fraught with the gravest danger to the United States." That is the basis of American hostility to the league project in its present shape, and none who in Europe have watched with misgiving the ideal of the league obscured and twisted as it took shape by the factors of arrogance, hatred and fear will deny that there is truth in it. But we believe that history will pronounce it a shortsighted view. 'The covenant was born in tn atmosphere of passion. Many of its articles re ambiguous, unpractical, inadequate. But the dominating fact is that it has behind it in Eu rope not the forces of reaction or of imperial ism, but tfe enthusiasm and aspiration of the democracies, who see in it the basis on which a fairer structure must and will be raised, and who will count it a disaster if the hand of America is withheld from that work. tetter & How a Jap Baby Boy Gets His Name. In Japan an odd system prevails in regards to the naming of boys. The child receives his first name when he is just a month old. Then three-different names are written on three slips of paper and thrown into the air in the temple while prayers are addressed to the family diety. That which falls first to the ground bears the name the child is called until he is 3 years old. Then he receives a. new name. At 15 the Japanese boy receives another name in honor of his coming of age. His name is changed again on the Occasion of his marriage and on any ad vance in his position. Even mortal illness does not aid this confusing state of affairs, for when death conies a name is given him by which pre sumably lie is to be known in the spirit world. TO I )AY The Day We Celebrate.

How to Settle Uie Question. Omaha, Deo. 15. To the Editor of The Beo: Responding solely to tho rule of supply and demand, silver has acquired a position In the com mercial world which brings it on a parity with gold; in other words, 'bimetallism" promises to be re-established regardless of the wishes of Wall street and the monometallist The rapid advance in silver quota tions have startled ' the financial world and the fact that a silver dol lar ia worth more in bullion than it ia in coin will result in the final withdrawal of silver from circulation and it will be as scarce in the trans action of business aa is gold. 1 Disturbance of exchange rates on International money transactions is a natural and direct outcome of the war; principally this is due to the enormous increase in government credits and the business world is un able to readjust its operations on the present gold standard basis. This government must resort to some expedient of recoinage and to do this we x must remove the old standards of value which were es tablished by an' act of the British Parliament In the year of 1802 and adopted by the United States gov ernment In the year 1820; otherwise in order to maintain the old stand ard we must Increase taxation prac tically double the present levy. The fundamental object of taxa tion Is not to Impose a burden or a penalty on the taxpayers; rather the opposite, to secure funds by means of which the government may be enabled to extend to the taxpayers those 'benefits which they could not do so well, if at all, secure for them selves. Consequently any program of taxation should be administered with utmost sympathy and consider ation and with the least possible dis turbance of the taxpayer's normal activities. Already taxes have been levied upon the pqpple until these burdens cannot be carried by the common people and to tax industry further means 'to curtail the output, lessen the production and thereby in crease the cost of living. Nations as well as individuals must pay their debts. Today the United States of America is the only solvent going concern in the world, and it is carrying a bonded indebt edness of practically $30,000,000,-1)00, or a principal sum of $275 for each person in the United States. The Interest levied pro rat would be $13.76 a year. The first duty this government owes its people Is to begin paying its debts and get back to doing busi ness as soon as possible on a hard cash basis, which is a sure cure for the economic ills of the nation. But how can this be brought about? First, the United States congTess should adopt a measure for protect ing the United States treasury re serves and reducing taxation. This can be done by adopting a "bimetal lic" monetary system, call in all me tallic specie and reissue gold and silver coins In one-half of the pres ent size. With the surplus from re coinage let this money be applied to retire a portion of the present bond issue. Then adopt a Standard for gold at $41.34 per ounce and a value for silver of $2.50 per ounce. Such an act of the government will re lieve the burdens of taxation and will greatly stimulate the mining in dustry of the nation; will pour more wealth into the coffers of the treas ure: labor will be employed at a wage that will do away with strikes and the opportunity wjll be offered to every person In the United States to receive employmnt.'v -The reduc ing of the size of the American dol lar will give a dollar a purchasing power equal to its value and will en able the United States as a nation to expand its industry nd commerce and in this manner we will have solved the question of the high cost of living.

It was not wrong eating, because the girls mothers were extremely careful about their diet. The teacher de cided that it was the plain old-fashioned reason not enough sleep. - "How many hours do you girls sleep, and when do you go to bed" she queried. One girl of 10 said: "I go to bed at 9 and get up at 7." Another girl: "I start to bed at 9, but the clock strikes 10 before I get to sleep. I never want to get up in the morn ing. Mother has to drag me out." Further questioning showed that few of the girls were receiving the proper amount of sleep. No girl can be a real girl with out giving her body a long rest every night. During sleep the body has a chance to rebuild the tissue wasted during the day. A girl's bed is one of her best friends. An op'jn window is another. Sleeping on the right side with light, warm covers and a fine circulation of good out door air in the room means health and energy. A closed window means poisonous air and disease, cranki ness in the morning and a languid feeling all day long. A girl should have each night at least the number of hours of sleep shown here: Age.

The most fundamental thing in basketball is the method tf handling the ball. ( The long spot pass is & 15 to 20 yard overhead pass. The delivery should be from the shoulder similar to that of an overhand pitcher. The ball rolls off the tips of the fingers so as to give a back spin. The back spin makes it easier to catch. If a long pass is under hand, it travels in a low plane and can be easily blocked and will also be fumbled on account of the under spin which makes the ball difficult to grasp. The side arm- pass is used mostly in cross court play and should be made with a side step. Accuracy can be obtained with a 10-ard pass, one or both hands being used in delivery. The pass travels above the waist and should be about shoulder high. , . - ; The short pass is a three to six yard snappy pass, about waist high. Both hands are used in delivery with arms fully extended. A wrist snap will do away with the spin off the finger tips. The bounce pass is used for very shortjwork. Small men against tall opponents get good results. The delivery generally calls for a feint move of the body, the ball generally leaves both hands. If a single handed bounce is used do not put too much spin on it. Not only is the bounce used as a pass; the dribble is a series of bounces. In a slow dribble, the bounce is high. The shoulder-high bounce allows time to dodge. The ordinary dribble calls for bounces about waist high and in rapid suc cession. The ball must be released by a wrist push toward the floor be fore the foot leaves the floor for the second step. Cleverness and dscp tion are worked up by alternating hands on each bounce. The greatest fundamental b handling the ball is speed. Do not hold against body.
