South. Mr. Hays may in time be known as Mr. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1921. ' 7T ' A Treat in Store President Wilson- has entered the preliminary stages of arrangements for presenting the world with a history of the Peace Conference. Former Secretary Lansing has published " a book ' which, ' out of deference to the President or to the Presi dency, will not be released by the publishers until March 5th, the day after Mr. Wilson leaves the White House. Secretary Daniels intimated in his recent address at the Naval Academy that he in tended to brush up on his dictation or typewriting or goose-quilling, and added that he would not be deterred by any dearth of subject matter. It i.3 . entirely probable that, various gentlemen, who have heretofore felt the restraint imposed by pub lic office, will "take pen in hand" before the. in coming administrationithas passed beyond the seat warming stage. The President, we are led to believe, has in con templation a- comprehensive account of the confer ence at Versailles. There will be a feeling of dis appointment over the intimation that his product will be in no sense autobiographical in form. His preference, itns explained, "has always been to ward history as a form of literary expression." Doubtless, ttye interest of the public would have been quickened more perceptibly by a forecast of, something resembling a hide-ripping piece, with particular attention to certain gentlemen who have come into collision, so to speak, with the President in comparatively recent months. TherVls still a strong probability that the literary Executive will, at least by artistically indirect touches, pay his respects to some well known American statesmen. But, whether he does"or not, we may confidently look forward to a real contribution to world his tory in his literary offering. In Ray Stannard Baker, the President hast chosen a capable assistant. Mr. Baker was .at tached to the American commission at Versailles. He is a thorough' workman in literary matters, and. his assistance as keeper and assembler of the records desired by Mr. Wilson for his book (or books) will be of great value. -TMe President, it is hardly necessary to. state," will ask no aid in the purely literary performance of the task. One or two critics have found occa sion to attack the Wilson style, but his bitterest foes have usually conceded his mastery of the language we use. His profound knowledge of his tory, his peculiarly intimate understanding of the things that were done and said at the Peace Con ference, his skill as a writer on historical themes these give assurance to the public of a produc tion that will instruct and entertain far beyond the measure ordinarily achieved by the books we pronounce good. o Harding's Hitchcock. The vast pWer which Mr. Hitchcock developed as a Republican machine man was a natural product of the hold which he took upon the Southern wing of the G. O. P. during his term as Postmaster General. The office is one which, though not to the extent of former days, lends itself with peculiar readiness to political uses. Through the skillful handling of his chances, main and small, Mr. Hitchcock made the office yield a measure of political strength not often exceeded by a cabinet member. Will Hays is not essentially of the Hitchcock type, but this does not mean that vhe would faii to build as well as the latter built upon the ad vantages of the Postmaster Generalship. He has demonstrated his superior qualifications as a swivel chair general in practical politics. It is probably true that he knows more little tricks pertinent to political organization on a large scale than any other man now active in his party. He is a great distributor of oil for troubled waters, but his chief source of strength lies in his ability to apply a multitude of relatively minor devices to the task of building up an effective political organization. We sometimes suspect that Mr. Hays learned much from the German foreign office. In any case, he is the foremost American propa gandist, and if he should fail to inject some life into the Republican party of the SoutbT"there would be no further basis for hope. Faith in the Beach It is most gratifying to catch the strong note of optimism which pervaded the expressions of per sons who have a substantial interest in the safety wards that come to their service responding to the urge of a healthy "crop of ad vance orders for the spring, the automobile indus try is rapidly coming back to life: There is defi nite promise .now that one of the country's chief sources of unemployment and, consequently, of de pression, will quickly be eliminated. Throughout the automobile world, there are unmistakable signs of the re-awakening. The announcement of Ford's re-opening on a fifty per cent is said to have been a generous contributor to the revival of confidence in the motor trade generally. Other well known manufacturing companies have an nounced a steady increase in operation. Upwards of thirty" thousand workers have just returned to their posts in Detroit. The Hudson, Cadillac, Standard, Fisher, Briggs and other companies have returned to a basis of operation which provides for about fifty per cent of their recent employes. The industry is "looking up." One of the earlfest to feel the full force of the slump in the early win ter, it now gives promise of being a leader in the return to what a well known "gentleman has de scribed as "normalcy." o . . - Contemporary Views FINE OFFICIAL STEPS OUT Insurance Field: Therehas just passed out ot the public service a man who should not be per mitted to go without deserved remark. That is James R. Young, for twenty-one years Commis sioner of Insurance for North Carolina, who, on January 1, retired to private life to build his for tunes which many honest and conscientious public servants find it necessary to do upon the usual re- There are Daily Health Talks By William Brady, M.D. STIkU MORE AUTODETOXICATION i Physiologists and . pathologists who have nothing to sell find little .

In that sense, then, I am entirely serious when I say that no one has yet proved that there is such a condition as autointoxication. If any deleterious effects, can be ascribed to retention within the body and blood of the waste products of normal metabolism of life processes, or to the formation of a'bnormal products through disturbed 'functions, and phy siologists and. pathologists have every Europ ean News s and Views A French Appraisal of Wilsonism's Cost Versailles which and permanence of Wrightsville Beach. We are publishing elsewhere in this issue several brief statements "on the condition of the Beach follow ing -the recent tidal attack, with individual fore casts of the future at this cherished bathing resort. The first impressions gained by casual visitors 'at theJBeach since the storm have naturally been more discouraging than those In which the pres ent injury is considered in its proper relation to the history of the Beach as a summer resort. The' men whose views are given in The Star today are clearly not considering the incident as detached or isolated; they are remembering what has hap pened before. They are unwilling, in the light of . long, experience, to subscribe to the belief that the damage which has been done is irreparable. Some, of them are convinced that nature, unaided, will carry on the work of restoration effectively. We gather that none of them would.be aVerse to an arrangement for a scientific survey of the Beach situation, with a view to obtaining the best ob tainable advice. The matter is one that the peo ple of Wilmington can not afford to neglect. If it should be decided that the natural process of rebuilding-may need the assistance of an engineer ing device, the matter of expense ought not to be permitted to prevent the experiment. We are con fident, that the suggestion to this effect, credited to several of the gentlemen interviewed in this issue, will be given immediately favorable attention. " Mr. Hurley's Suggestion Having heard a great deal about the over emphasis given by minor workers to the unpro ductive distractions of play, joy-riding and sand- - raising, we Aay not find it inappropriate to at tend for the moment to another aspect of the pic ture as presented by Mr. Edward Hurley, former chairman of the Shipping Board. Mr. Hurley comes forward with the suggestion that on cause of the fairly acute suffering which business has felt may be found in the large waste of time on executive conferences, national gatherings and golf excursions. In short, our leaders and organ izers have been too busy playing to devote the proper attention to work and the workers. He is - apprehensive . of the seemingly prevalent belief that a paper organization -is sufficient; that its functioning is not dependent upon the supervision formerly given by executive chiefs. ' . It is interesting, In this connection, to note the : ultimatum which is said to have been Issued re cently by certain' New York bankers: that is, that . "unless mpre time is devoted to personal super-, , vision or business, credit accommodations will be cancelled." " (- - - Generally speaking, we may safely assume that the men who have risen to positions of authority in the business world rose on individual merit. They have'been, elevated to command because they; displayed tne qualities which are ordinarily taken - to fit men for such posts. It follows quite ob viously, then, that any widespread dereliction qn : their part must.be reflected by "a decided deteriorai tion in our business organization. Their direction ... and encouragement are - essential .to the. malnte- v. nance of the. business ; machine. They must rele gate pointless conferences and excessive golfing to- . : a more logical position in their scheme of life. We ; have never needed their personal efforts more. ' Mr. Harding seems to be having a corking good' time down in Florida playing golf, a game in which f the 'task of, getting out of a hole isn't of paramount Importance.,. v 7'V- 7; , ' A Banking Basis for Optimism Our banking system is sounder and stronger today than it has been for many months. Busi , ness, at first over-exhilarated and then un duly depressed, has recovered its normal state of mind. The significance of this fact is ap parent to us all, and we are warranted in look ing to the future with a feeling of conserva tive optimism, with renewed courage and re stored confidence, which will make easier our task of overcoming the problems which are ahead of us. , , W. P. G. Harding, who, as Governor of the Fed eral Reserve Board, has an intimate knowledge of the banking situation of the entire world, is not a man given to loose thinking or careless state ments. Hence his optimism is particularly sig nificant at a time when many people, less attuned' to financial tremors, are fearful of continued de pression. Many of these were among the men who, in 1919-20, admitted that though readjustment must come, they themselves would escape it., During that period of expansion, when . specula tion was rife, some banks may not have done everything possible to check the demands for bank accommodations; they have since then redeemed themselves. Early in 1919, says Mr. Harding, the Federal Reserve Board urged corrective measures to bring about liquidation, but found' that ad vances in discount rates did not help materially. The banks were then urged to give preference to loans for essential purposes, and, aside from the advance to agriculture, a marked reduction in fed eral loans was brought about. The extent to which the banks have held their own is thus expressed by the Governor: I believe it is now quite generally conceded that our present banking system, which has been put to the severest tests during the last few years,, has met them all. It has demon strated its ability to extend credit in volume sufficient to ;ttieet the requirements of the country in time of war and during the last year has shown its ability to hold expansion 7 in check and ward off any danger of a money panic. ' . " . 7 ' - - . No matter howstrong; our banking system might be, if would be of little stimulative Value if pessimism should be as deep as optimism was high, a year ago. Mr. iiarumis, uuw.vw, is convinced that this condition will not prevail. With evi dence that the wool,' cotton, and wheat Industries are improving, his attitude is one of security, as he says: . - '- , - ' ,. A hopeful factor in the present situation, as I see It, is that we have returned to a normal v state of mind. ' : Extravagant tendencies have been' checked, and the Importance of the indi vidual .Hying within his v means has been ' brought home to us. At the same time the 7 wave of profound j pessimism has passed by, -. The mainjthing for us to do now is to retain ' a normal state of mind and be safe, soumi and calm in our judgments. y, v t 7:7-.,v: The Automotive Revival v The - Impressive attendance attracted by .i the ,New York Automobile Show, with every indication o th keenest' popular, interest' in models and prices, demonstrated to the manufacturers that plenty of honest men retiring from public service ' every year and we are not referring to Mr. Young as.a.rara.avis in honesty. He would resent that as many others would have a right to; but he hap pens to have occupied a peculiar relative position and exercised, a peculiar influence that reacts to his peculiar credit. He was an excellent insurance Commissioner for North Carolina, which is not an important state in the volume of insurance pro duced, but he was also an excellent member of that, institute of. insurance practice "known as the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners. He bas been a Conservative, but not a reactionary, and has wielded a most wholesome influence upon that body. He has checked many a radical move and his work has been constructive and careful in the highest degree. For this reason his retirement wiil be a distinct loss to all branches of the busi ness to be felt in all the states. The effect of his labors in his own state of North Carolina are well worth observing for the benefit of other Southern states. Under, his persuasion and guidance and through the force of his char acter the "North State" has enacted wise laws. There Is not a restrictive insurance law in North Carolina. Instead of fighting insurance companies he has fought foolish laws. North Carolina's condition as to insurance sug gests a deadly parallel with Mississippi where gen eral business is again plunged. into trouble be cause of obsolete and barbarous law's. This is a mere sidelight but it illuminates con cretely by sharp comparisonhlikfluences of such served so wisely and" so weliJe has highly earned and will carry with him inloTretirement the great 4. . i'i . 1 . . rtjspec., esieeui auuuuuur 01 ,u wno nave come into contact with him, during fiisjjtong labors. -tf J- ' A WORTH WHIL&IO:EmWt Charlotte Newg: The YohngCltfbihen's Christian Association has designated February- ! as a day when all the cafeterias of the association will ob serve "Invisible Guest Day" and turn over all gross cash receipts of the noon meat' to the European Relief Committee. There are over 250 such cafe terias in the county and jnany more lunch rooms and in one of these cafeterias alone, one of eight in New York , City, the noon-day patrons number on an average" of 2,344, so it can be seen .what the possibilities are of this plan. And it seems to us that in addition to being a practical plan by which the starving millions in Europe may be relieved, this ought to be the sug gestion of a widespread movement among the families of this country to observe some such sort of a day also , when a part of the cost of the daily meal might be shared with the little children abroad who are perishing for even the crumbs that are falling from our tables. The children in the households this ijommunity, if they could be im pressed with the urgency of the heed yonder and with the merits of this charity, would take great pride, the most of them, in denying themselves some of the good things to which they are accus tomed and sharing them with the little tots in famine-stricken countries overseas. The Y. W. C. A. has started a very worthy movement. It de serves to be widely imitated.

The fact is that the American govern ment, which had little Interest" left for the business of the Entente, has broken the contract which bound it. It is a great disappbintment for those who had put their, trust in Mr. Harding. '.'The terrible frivolity of those who negotiated the Treaty of Versailles is reason to believe that such poisoning 8hown here very plainly. Mr. James does occur as a ieature 01 a great many disease conditions, the individual : obsessed with the autointoxication idea should realize, for the sake of his own peace of mind and sanity, that this is seldom it ever due to a costive or constipated habit. , One who eats too. much may or may not be costive, may or may not depend upon physic to maintain the function of regular bowel action, but is pretty sure to be autointoxicated. One who eats too much can never be uncertain about it; all he need do is step on a scales and find out whether he- is over weight. If such a one were a horse his owner would know at once why the animal was out of condition, but being a human being he keeps on over feeding: (or neglecting daily exercise, which has the same effect) and takes Hoodwink's Laudable Liver Pills. Anv real or potential poison in the nature of retained waste products (re tained, I mean, in the blood or tissues, and of course not in the bowels) must be eliminated from the fclood and tis sues through the various excretory or gans (lungs, skin, kidneys, liver and only in a limited extent in the bowel) or rendered innocuous by combustion or oxidation within the blood and tis sues. This latter late is iavorea uy (1) temporate eating and (2) sufficient e-eneral exercise daily. Exercise in creases the absorption of oxygen in the body tissues and therefore greatly aids the tissues in disposing 01 reai or po tential 'poisons. Exercise is perhaps the best remedy we have for actual autointoxication, over and above its casual regulating action on. the bowels. The late Metchnikoff was on the ritrht trark but Derhans in the wrong tract in his search for a preventive or remedy for autointoxication, wis rer mented skimmed milk. practically but termilk is a wholesome beverage, but autointoxication neither begins jnor ends in the Intestinal tract. Persons who really are suffering from retained or unoxidized wastes (re f,i in Art in the blood and tissues, not In .the bowels) can select no better means of autodetoxication man oxygen m .uc minimum dose of two miles three times a day on the hoof. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Sesame The finest thing I have ever used for dryness or harshness of the sktn aid scalp was a sesame oil formula vou printed. I, had it prepared by my druggist several times, but now he has -lost the formula. I am sure It would please many readers If you will be good enough to reprint that formula. (Mrs. S. E. O.) t . . A ANSWER: Five grains of powdered benzoin is to be placed in. each ounce of sesame oil (also known as teel oil and benne oil), and di-ested over a water bath for three hours Then add three drops of absolute alcohol to each ounce and filter. A few drops may be applied daily to skin or scalp. In or. der to confound the fellow who seems to take such fiendish delight in mis printing my formulas, I'll repeat the Quantities: . . Powdered benzoin, 20 grains; oil of sesame, 4 ounces; absolute alcohol, 12 drops. Underwear I have heard several people say that porous knit underwear should be wotn in the winter, and that woolen and silk are not good. - I ana high school bo What kind of underwear do you advise for me? (H. B. W.) ANSWER: Very light weight porous knitted wool or wool and silk under wear By porous knitted wear 1 mean the ordinary machine knitted material of today, no particular brand and I mean to advise against wearijf old-time tightly woven n"3-. t reason for preferring wool or yoo1. ilk is that wool and silk are slow heat conductors, whereas cotton and linen oonductors. With a thin layer ai c M. Beck already pointed to this Tact in his book, 'The Passing of the New Freedom." .He imagines a situation in which M. Clemenceau and Lloyd George informed by the American agents, make known to President Wilson their uneasiness on the subject of the mis sion which he was called upon to ful fill. " 'We should be deceiving the great interests in our keeping, said M. .Clem enceau, 'if we should continue to ig nore that, according to the Constitution of your country, no treaty concluded by you has any moral and legal sig nificance without the consent of two thirds of the Senate.' "Full of conceit, Wilson declares that he may be relied upon completely. 'The senate,' he says, 'is only putty in my hands.' But Mr. Lloyd George insists and demands that representatives of the Senate be called to Paris, which makes Mr. Wilson angry, and he threat ens to leave France, but M. Clemenceau tels him very firmly that if he leaves Pans because he was asked very nat ural questions as to the extent of his power, he would suffer more than any one else, that he would fall at once from his pedestal. Mr. Wilson's vanity is hurt and hesitates when M. Clem enceau attacks once more, saying, 'If we bow down to your imperious exi gencies and afterward America gives you the lie and the peace of the world is in question, it is you, and you alone, who will be made responsible.' After which Senator Lodge, Senator Hitcli cock, ex-President Taft and Hughes are called to Paris, and Wilson decides to be bound by the doctrine of Monroe and in the future only interfere m questions of universal interest. " The writer continues: "The 'apostle Wilson will certainly be considered as one of the evil-doers of humanity. In James Beck's book he resembles Shake speare's Malvoglio in 'Twelfth Night.' He is one of . those inconsistent 'poseurs' -who deceives others in deceiv ing himself. His personality combines the clergyman and the pedagogue, and his political duplicity is evident." The writer goes on to describe Wil son as a vain and unpleasant moral ist, who envelopes his artificial thoughts in a most irritating and ob scure style. The German Ambassador Bernstorff spoke of him as an 'egocen tric,' which Seemed to be a good de scription of him. M. Clemenceau spoke of him one day in anger as being pro German, and it is said that in 1916, when the doors of the White House were often closed to French and Eng lish ambassadors, Bernstorff found ad mission, although Wilson was at the time supposed to be observing strict neutrality. It appears even that he was discussing a; plan of intervention which would have induced the sacri fices of the Allies to nothing by ar ranging a peace by compromise through the mediation of America. "Happily the ferocity of Germany," concludes the writer, 'put a stop to this. When the Imperial Government rejected his offer of mediation and started the submarine warfare. Wil son's vanity was wounded, and he be came their enemy. , Although he de clared in 1914 that it was not the busi ness of America to examine the causes of the war, in 1917 he declared- that the cause of the Allies was one -writh the cause of justice and democracy In the world. But after Wilhelm was re moved from the scene of action he did all in his power to save Germany. It was he who poisoned the atmosphere ef the Entente, and caused France to be accused of Imperialism. "indeed," he says, "no one can blame us for the present painful situation af ter such a glorious Victory. It is sim ply Wilsonism which is costing us very defer." IS rnr. t; .. i a .
