•HOWS SPEED OF THOUGHT
A method of studying the move
ments of the eye In reading aloud,
and correlating them with the actual
pronunciation of the words, has
Jfteen announced In Science Maga
zine by Prof. Joseph Tiffin of lowa
university. •
Photographic records of the eye aira
the "sound track" produced by the
Tolce show that the voice lags about
a second behind the eye. This may
be taken as a measure of the speed
of thought: the time required for
the mind to recognize the word and
transmit the necessary orders to
the speech apparatus. The record
also shows that the eye does not
travel smoothly along a line of type,
but proceeds by a series of jerks.

U. S. Entry Into League Still Moot Question
Home of the League of Nations at Geneva.
By WILLIAM C. UTLEY
THE League of Nations was
fifteen years old on January
10. During those years It has
accomplished many things and
failed in others. It has at least
been man's most concrete and tangi
ble attempt to recognize Interna
tional brotherhood, the geograph
ical shrinkage of the world as sci
ence has conquered time and space,
and the futility of war.
The two outstanding accomplish
ments of the league In 1934, In the
opinion of most authorities on In
ternational affairs, Justified Its ex
istence. It maintained order dur
ing the Saar plebiscite period and
relieved the electric tension that
held Europe because It brought
about a peaceable settlement be
tween France and Germany. It pre
vented war between Yugoslavia and
Hungary, over the assassination of
King Alexander, by getting these
nations to accept its settlement of
their differences. Its outstanding
"dud" was Its failure to do any
thing about the Chaco war.
An American, In fact, the No. 1
of his day, President Woodrow Wil
son, originated the Idea of a League
of Nations in 1918. The league,
product of human Intelligence and
experience over many years of strife
and valueless bloodshed, was the
thinker's answer to the question
"What shall we do to prevent the
occurrence of another horrible war
In the future?"
The league Idea was crystallzed
Into an acute fact In 1919; and the
most conspicuous nation In the dis
cussions from which It was born
was the United States, conspicuous,
as the saying goes, by its absence.
Ever since then the topic "Shall
the United States Join the League
of Nations?" has been the subject
of spirited debate in the nation's
capital, its business conferences and
1n front-porch leisure hours when
Mr. and Mrs. American Voter dis
cussed with their neighbors the ac
tivities of the persons they had
sent to Washington to look after
their interests.
At various times within the last
fifteen years, the thing has come to
a head. Points pro and con have
been driven with such a persistence
and enthusiasm that It seemed
something would have to be done
about It. •
The latest of these boiling points
occurred when George 11. Tinkham,
the representative from Massachu
setts, declared that the United
States was somewhat surreptitious
ly being dragged into the League
of Nations against its will. Tink
ham accused Miss Frances Perkins,
the secretary of labor, of "con
temptible trickery and gross fraud"
In connection with the country's be
coming a member of the Interna
tional labor organization. This Is
only a wedge to work the United
Woodrow Wilson.
Stajtes Into the League of Nations,
said Representative Tinkham, and
Is merely a forerunner to the United
States' act of Joining the World
court.
World Court Up Again.
Twelve years of bickering have
attended the resolution for Imme
diate adherence of America to the
World court. But recently It was
favorably reported by the senate
committee on foreign relations.
Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Ar
kansas, the majority leader, has an
nounced that he will bring the mat
ter up on the floor of the senate at
the earliest opportunity. Most of
his op-position will come from Sena
tor Hamilton who has stood
out as the chief opponent of the
league Idea for years.
This nation's membership In the
World court Is advocated through
the protocol proposed by Elihu Root,
former secretary of state, and lead
ing European Jurors.
The World court, like the League
THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALD, ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA
or nations, 19 an outgrowth of
American ideas. At the first Hague
conference in 1899, the American
delegation proposed plans for a
"permanent court of international
Justice." Out of this grew the Per
manent Court of Arbitration, more
popularly known as the Hague
Court of Arbitration.
The Hague Is not a court that
meets regularly. Only when a con
troversy is submitted by some na
tion or nations do the arbitrators,
selected from member nations, gath
er together. The court has no pow
er to Impose its decisions on the
parties concerned, but can merely
advise, seeking to conciliate the
parties.
Independent of League. •
This court functions altogether
Independently of the league, al
though It is a part of the league,
with provisions made for it In Ar
ticle 14 of the league's covenant.
The Judges are named not by the
league, but by the national groups

which belonged to The Hague
tribunal, according to the "Root
Formula." The electipn of the
Judges, however, Is by a majority
vote of the assembly and the coun
cil of the League of Nations, each
body meeting separately.
Meeting each year In June, the
World court considers cases only
with the consent of both parties—
or nations—concerned. Requiring
its attention are matters such as
Interpretations of treaties, matters
of international law, and the exist
ence of conditions that would mean
a breach of International obliga
tions. Members may submit all of
their disputes to the court or they
may recognize the court but de
cline to submit their controversies
to its Judgment
The United States, although It
was a member of The Hague tri
bunal and although the World
court was suggested by an Ameri
can, has never become a member of
the World court. In January, 1926,
the senate voted to become a mem
ber of the World court If the mem
ber nations would accept the fol
lowing provisions: (a) Adherence
to the court should not Involve any
legal relation on the part of the
United States to the League of Na
tions. (b) The United States
would pay a fair share of the ex
penses of the court as fixed by con
gress. (c) The United States must
have an equal voice with the other
nations In the selection of Judges,
(d) The United States must be
privileged to withdraw from the
court at any time, and the statute
of the court should not be amend
ed without our consent, (e) All
opinions of the court must be an
nounced publicly, and only after
due notice has been given all mem
ber states and Interested parties.
In September, 1926, the fifth of
these reservations was, ( as might
have been expected, rejected by the
representatives of the member na
tions. President Coolidge then defi
nitely said that the World court Is
sue was "dead."
Root Plan Acceptable.
The United States really wanted
to Join the court, however, and in
1928 membership in the court was
a plank in the platforms of both
the Democratic and Republican par
ties. In the following year Eiihu
Root was sent to Europe to confer
with a committee of Jurists which
was revising the original statute
of the World court. Mr. Root de
vised a plan for the entry of the
United States which was acceptable
to all the member nations. The
Root Formula, as it has been called
ever since, was the subject of
praise from the then President
Hoover, who included it In his first
annual message to congress in 1929,
urging that the United States be
come a member.
The Root Formula, which Is still
the article by which the proponents
of Jhe World court hope to secure
the entry of the United States, was
of course devised to get around the
objectionable fifth section of the
original provisions for American,
membership. These are the chief
points of the Root Formula, which I
Is still being cited as desirable'
when there are discussions of this
country's entry: (a) If the United
States Is or Is about to become In- i
volved In a dispute with another
nation, the matter cannot be
brought before the World court 1
without our consent, even for the
purpose of securing from the court
an "advisory opinion." (b) The
secretary-general of the League of
Nations shall Inform the United
States of any proposal for obtain
ing an advisory opinion of the court
which is pending before the coun
cil or assembly of the league, with
a view to exchanging views be
tween the council or the assembly
and the United States as to wheth
er an Interest of the United States
Is involved, (c) In the event that
the court is asked for an advisory
opinion and the United States ob
jects to any such opinion being
given by 'the court, America's objec
tion should have attributed to It
the same force that would obtain to
a vote against asking for the opin
ion given by a member of the coun
cil or assembly. If the majority of
the court should Insist on the opin
ion being given, however, ttie United
States can withdraw from the World
court at once "without any Imputa
tion of unfriendliness or unwilling
ness to co-operate generally for
peace or goodwill.'" So apt was the
Root Formula considered that It Is
a part of the statute of the state.
The opponents of American mem
bership in the league, who have
numbered among their constituents
such names as Henry Cabot Lodge
and William E. Borah, contend, of
course, that membership In the
World court Is but a stepping stone
to the entrance of this country Into
the League of Nations. And the
principal objection to league mem
bership has been the possibility of
the United States being dragged
into somebody else's war In hold
ing up a decision of the league. The
! United States since Its birth has
steadfastly maintained a policy of
staging out of foreign controversies,
especially European controversies.
Could Avoid Going to War.
As a matter of fact, if the United
States were a member of the league
It would still not have to enter a
war for the maintenance of a prin
ciple unless It wanted to. The
United States, If It were a member,
would have a permanent seat on the
league council. A unanimous vote
is required for the council to begin
_
Senator W. E. Borah.
a war against an offender. If the
United States did not wish to en
ter such a war, she could avoid It
simply by Instructing her repre
sentative to vote against it.
Two things which have hampered
the work of the league since Its
origin have been the absence of two
of the greatest powers, namely the
United States and Russia. Japan,
It Is true, has left the league, but
her reasons were entirely discred
itable to herself, and creditable to
the league. Russia, of course was
not admitted for many years be
cause of the doubtful status of the
Russian government. But with the
recent admission of the Soviet union
to membership, half of the gap ha?
been filled up.

RUG WELL NAMED
"BED OF ROSES"
By GRANDMOTHER CLARK
The original rug shown measures
44 inches and requires four pounds
of rags to complete. It is braided
with three strands, but can be cro
cheted. A crocheted rug has better
wearing properties. Many colors
are used in the following combina
tions : Center circle in white, yel
low, red, and black. Three of the
outer circles in various rust shades.
The other three circles in two shades
of blue, and yellow. Outer edge is
rose, yellow, black.
I This rug shows that beautiful
rugs can be made of rags. The
regulation or common rag rug Is
either round or oval, with various
! color combinations, and when fin
ished has no particular beauty. In
| making the above "Bed of Roses" rug,
make seven small round rugs about
twelve Inches In diameter, and set
together as shown here, then work
rows all around to size wanted. It's
a different rug and only another
idea of what can be made of rags.
I The best material for making rag
' rugs is "Linkraft." When using this
I new material no cutting or match-
I ing of sizes is necessary. Linkraft
| is a round knitted material like Jer
sey. It comes In links about five
| inches long, but stretches to about
; nine inches when linking together,
j These links are to be linked together

City, Long Buried Under
Mud, Uncovered in China
A terrific windstorm which recent
ly swept over northern Honan un
covered the west gate and part of a
street of the ancient city of Chuh
sien, according to reports from Kal
feng, the provincial capital, says the
New York Times.
Chuhsien, which was a flourishing
city situated between Welhuel and
Hslnlisiang on the former bed of
the Yellow river, was Inundated by
a disastrous flood in the early part
of the reign of Emperor Chien Lung.
Shortly after the Yellow river shift
ed Its course, and when the waters
subsided no vestige of the city could
be found. It had been completely
covered by the mud and' sand depos
ited as a result of the flood.
In the Intervening two centuries
the action of the wind has removed
successive layers of mud and sand,
until the last windstorm actually
brought a part of the burled city
once more to view. The provincial
authorities have planned to con
tinue the work of natare and com
pletely excavate the ancient city.
