Like a spreading tire the war began to increase rapidly, each nation trying to get the advant age before the other got started. It was pretty much the same old thing in the same old place—and the place was the most dangerous in Europe, the place where more big wars have started than anywhere else. file situation looked bad. It was dan gerous. The league of nations whose main Purpose is to prevent wars and keep the peace, but which had until then gone about that task rather timidly! and hesitatingly, decided to act. With that purpose in mind it was realized that the best way to make good was to act resolutely and emphatically. So an untimatum was Issued. Greece* and Bulgaria were ordered to stop fighting or face the penalty. The two small countries did not talk back. They stopped. They areistill at peace —and so is Europe. Various have been the comments on the leagues' performance in this case. All agree on one point only—that it was effective. League enthusiasts see through it the dawn of a new day and a imllcnium of peace. They size every chance to sing the prises of the league. League opponents may just as surely be relied on to see faults in its every afet. If the league does anything it is too powerful: if it fails to do anything it is toothless and contemptible. Now they ask: Why didn’t the league settle the Pol and-r.ithimnia affair? Or the Greeee- Italy affair? Or the Britain-Egypt affair? Or the Franee-Syria affair? The league has not attempted to buek the big nations yet. It 'has sent no ultimatums in that direction. The fact is that it is the big na tions that make the league. But there are good reasons for this action. A big one is Locarno. By the pact signed there the Rhine was with drawn from the battle map of Europe. War was banished from t'iiat zone. It was an immense forward stride in the direction of permanent peace. It also strengthened the hands of the 'For 50 Cents; jjSr.” V -."%i , wter Los Angeles) j tsralL claims to the most eco-i i (MMs only M cents a week for food, HothJn* and lodging.» Howl# He ; Keep* In a aback, eaU fcttle and gets Iptotba* the secondhand man wont THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE Ih / m HB A W . mmi Tommy Milligan, welterweight pugl listic champion of England, who re cently arrived In this country. Hh first fight over here will be for thi world championship when he meeti Mickey Walker, present tltleholdcr in January. Milligan Is highly tout ed by European critics. ' league as tile war-lire watcher. Very shortly afterwards—a rather propit ' ions time—the fire broke out ip that ' inflammable back yard of Europe, the Balkans, and the league realized ! not only t’.iat it bad a chance to do something valuable, but that the time ' had come to act or forever lose itej ; fa "’ i Tlif* league had another motive, a heavy obligation resting on its and ( driving it to action in this £ase. Kul-J by the peace treaties which also gave! guaria had been practically disarmed j 1 1 birth to the league, and over which 1 j the league was created to-be watch man. To have taken away Bul-| ! garift’s artillery and restricted her] j.'iimy. and then allowed her to bej i invaded by Greece, a friend of the al ' lies.' would have been worse than 1 shameful. ‘ in other words, it was not only the time for the league to act. but the ' league had to act. Yet that docs not detract from the good results of i j the action. The fact that the league , succeeded has made it a stronger and a better league. The fact that the : great powers supporter it in this in stance will make it much harder for • those powers to oppose it when their • selfish interests are concerned. How can Kngland <r France say “Don't ; interfere with my affairs” after they ; have sanctioned and abetted inter t ference in the affairs of other na i tions? . By this, accomplishment the* league lias aettcired a greater moral force— and that was the kind of force it - mostly needed. Coming right after j , the Locarno agreements the making of ) peace in the Balkans was another! . healthy stride of the world toward out-1 la wing war. Talk About Luck! A colored man in Washington was ! ‘ on trial fog having committed an as- j _,sault with a dangerous weapon. Pro-j secution and defense argued the ease ami presented ail the evident j | they had—which in favor of the do-: fondant was not much. Then the | time came for the 12 jueors to go ; out, have a little consultation and : agree as to whether the man was guilty or not guilty. Within a very few minutes the 1 jurymen returned and the foreman j arose with the intention of saying j ■•guilty”. But something must have stuck in his throat for when he did ] fially get his tongue loose he said “not guilty.” The foreman later cor- j recta! hinwelf hut the judge ruled i that the first verdict must ctand. I So the negro whom it wa« intend- ! ed to pronounce "guilty” was do- j clared “not guilty,’’ and he was freed.

The Pathfinder, . In the last year there has been con siderable discussion about Benjamin Franklin and bis kite. Did Fra.iklin bring down lightning from the clouds (luring a ahunderstorm, * as populsr ; opinion has it. or didn't he? Many I authorities believe that the sage never performed any such experiment, that ; the entire affair is a myth. A letter written on the subject by !by Franklin, presumably in 1752, is j interesting in this connection. Frank | lin writes: “Make a cross of two i light strips of cedar, the arms so long | as to reach the fopr corners of a. large ; silk handkerchief when extended; tie the corners of the handkerchief To the extremities of the cross, so you have the body of a kite, which being prop erly accommodated with a tail, loop, and string, will rise in the air, like those made of paper, but this, being silk, is fitted to bear the met and wind of a thunder gust without tearing: “To the top of the upright stick is to be fixed a very sharp pointed wire, rising a foot or more above the wodd. T<j tjie end of the twine next to the hanJi is to be tied a silk ribbon, and where the silk and twine join a key may be fastened. Tbia kite to l>e raised when a thunder gust appears to be coming on, and the person who holjg * the string musts stand within a door or window or under some cover inf, so that the silk ribbon may not' be wet, and care must be taken that . the twine does not touch the frame of 1 : Stork Visits Twins on Same Day Ruby and Ruth Roue of Marietta.

And when the r.tin has wet the kite anti twine so that it can conduct the electric fire fr-ely, you will find it stream plentifully from the key on the approach 'of your knuckle. At this key. a phial may be attached, and from electric fire thus obtained, spirits may be ignited and all the other electric experiments bo performed which are usually done by a rubber glass globe or tube, and thereby the sameness of tile electric matter with that of lighting complete ly demonstrated." There are scientific men who say that it Franklin had attempted such an experiment he would not have lived to tell about it. Always Consult Your Ranker Before You Invest. S. AYade Marr, in Progressive Farmer. There is no reason why folks who have a surplus should wear blind bridles and be driven by "siick-ton gued” promoters into a glittering Promised Land that turns out to be nothing but promises. Unfortunately, the Inexperience'of farmers on investment matters has made tb“m the object of cfuntless fake moicrs, with the result that they are rather suspicious of even meritorious securities. But there are ‘too many reliable sources of information for anyone to be supicious when he may reach conclusions on the basis of facts. In the first place, the banker should either be in iiosition so give the facts surrounding a security or he should know a reliable banker or in vestment dealer who would be glad to give the facts. The first thing to do, then, when considering the investing of money is to consult your banker. If you are Monday, Dec. 14, 1925 suspicious of your banker—get an other on whom you can rely. If ithe inve-tment firm, find out what sort of people compose the Ann. What do they stand for in investments? What do they stand for in invest ments? What type of securities do they handle? Are they promoters, or do f investments? Can you rely on them for an honest opinion ns to the safety of your funds invested on their recommendation? If the se curity is being urged on you by a "high pressure" salesman, just don't buy. neither take the trouble to In vestigate. Keep your money, save your time, and give the salesman a gentle but emphatic "Goodbye.” One Way Out. Cop:—Don't ya- see that sign no swimming! I’U arrest you when ye come out!” Man:—"But I'm not coming out.” Cop:—"Then I” wait till va do.” Man.—''You're in for a long wait!
