I Not Heroic Action Lloyd George Hopeful England Still Safe Editors talk about Asia, led by Japan, conquering the world. They ft . Art liar BrUbaae might speculate da a union be tween Japan and Russia. Improbable,you will say, truly, but If Russlan Japanese hostil ity could be changed Into Russian - Japan ese agreement a new world chap ter might open.1 You hear of Russia’s “Red army," 1,300,000 men. thorough IJ armed,- and 7,000,000 reserves. Ton see photographs of Russia’s amphibian tanks, mounted with ma chine guns, rolling over the land and swimming rivers; you read about Intensive training of tens of thousands of Russian air pilots, parachute Jumpers, etc., and see even the broad-shouldered young Russian women drilling with rifles. Western Europe may have a prob lem closer at hand than Japan. 1 Our British cousins In the Revo lution cheerfully let loose howling, scalping Indians on their cousins In the American colonies, and bol shevism might cheerfully turn Asi atic killing efficiency against west ern “capitalism.” Tou remember how cheerfully the great historian Gibbon predicted that, in the American war, "with firmness all may go well,” because; “Scotch Highlanders, Irish, Han overians, Canadians, Indians, etc., will all In various shapes be em ployed.” There Is no reason why Russia •f 1930 should be more squeamish now than England at the end of the Eighteenth century. ' Lloyd George, who ought to know about Europe and war since he and old Clemenceau won the big war, tells Universal Service this present .war is “oft,” France having learned that “even her most ardent friends In Europe shrink from war.” Lloyd George declares that peace “without derogating from the dig nity of any of the powers” will be( preserved. If France does not make It Impossible. Lloyd George says not 1 per cent of Englishmen would vote for war, and not 10 per cent for employing sanctions against Germany. If enough rich Americans go to England to “escape kidnapers” the kidnapers may move over after them, ns professional gamblers fol low on big ships. London police ar rested Alfred Molyneux, thirty-one, trying to extort .$1,000 from the Countess Barbara Hutton Haug witz-Reventlow, offering to reveal a plot to kidnap her baby. Police knew by the moderate price it could not be an American “snatcher” or confederate. Easily caught, the young man confessed he had Invent ed the plot. With “visibility cut to zero,” street lights burning by day, not visible across the street, dust storms are blowing over parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico. By such displays of nature's pow er, for which man's foolishness is responsible, fertile areas of the world have been changed to deserts. ' A bill that would have limited work to five working days of six hours, or thirty hours a week, Is dead in congress for the time being. It would have given workers twen ty-four hours off on Saturday and Sunday, eighteen hours off on every other day—eight hours for sleep, "ten for what we will.” A11 that will come some day, but not by discouraging Improved machinery. An Intelligent young man who fonght well In the big war speaks of ‘'the 2-to-l" advantage which modern methods give to the defense over the attack. To let the Other man or nation come at you, If you are prepared, has been wise in the past. It might be different In future wars, If the attacker, with a couple of thousand airplanes, dropping ex plosive bombs and poison gas, should surprise the enemy. “De fense" would have no 2-to-l advan tage over that sort of attack, i i, .

Inc. iUCH IS LIFEt—The Cold SpeU T*WA?Nr *THIS GOlPSlX 'MOHjU? \ago New British Liner Groomed for Speed “Queen Mary” to Go After Record of “Normandie.” Clydebank, Scotland. — Queen Mary, giant new flagship of the British mercantile marine and pride of the British * nation, Is nearing completion In her fittlng-out dock here. On March 24 the mammoth new 80,000-ton ocean greyhound, which was launched and named by Queen Mother Mary of England here Sep tember 26, 1034, will be gently man euvered Into the narrow Clyde riv er and will proceed to sea under her own power en route to South ampton to be drydocked prepara tory to her final speed trials -and official commissioning. Two months later, on May 27, she will point her bows westward out of Southampton on her maiden voy age to New York. Her distinguished passengers on this voyage are ex pected to Include one or more mem bers of the British royal family, probably the Duke and Duchess of. York. 8psed a Secret. Details of the vessel’s potential speed are being kept a jealously guarded secret, and the most that Is admitted Is that her engines will develop approximately 200,000 horse power and will get her to New York In five days or under. Unofficially, the British feel no doubt that their latest marine won der will develop around 34 knots on her trials, and everywhere there Is official confidence that she will easily wrest the Atlantic blue rib bon from the French colossus, Nor mandie. The most rigid precautions are AFTER WORLD TITLE Miss Ruth Hughes Aarons of Stamford, Conn., Is the American women’s table tennis champion, and she has left for Prague, Czechoslo vakia, to compete for the world’s championship. being taken by-tbe builders aboard tbe vessel to Insure that the en gineering secrets of their child will not be premgBjreiy disclosed. A request to be permitted to Inspect the sealed engine room was bluntly refused. Potential Winner. A close examination of the new vessel, of the delicate streamlining forward, the beautiful proportions of the hull and superstructure and the realization «f the unprecedent ed space given over below to the powerful oil-fired propelling ma chinery led to the conclusion that In the Queen Mary the British have a potential Atlantic winner. Despite her vast dead weight bulk, she sits the water as grace fully as a smart light cruiser. Her razor-like bows, obviously built for high speed, are like those of a crack destroyer. Her lines forward are reminiscent of those of a yacht, and nowhere Is there evident the' clumsiness and bulkiness usually associated with vessels of big ton nage. Everywhere the Impression Is gained of speed and power. Only oh mounting to the bridge, high afeove the waters of the Clyde river, and looking forward to the bow Is the observer able to realize the monstrous proportions of the new liber. Her space forward from the bridge appears to be easily as big as the totyl length of many liners of average size. Pig Swallows Diamond Mechanics Falls, Maine.—Mrs. A. Roy lost her diamond ring, valued at $250. After an extensive search failed to disclose tbe ring, she gave It up as lost Three weeks later the ring was found when a butcher slaughtered a pig sent to him by Mrs. Roy.

Pandora possessed a box said to contain all the blessings of life. In an honr of un controllable cu riosity, Pandora opened this box, and all the bless ings escaped ex c e p t one, the blessing of hope. Hope has al ways been ap praised as one of the cardinal virtues. "And now ablgeth faith, hope and love. Hope always looks forward. It is to the future, untried and un discovered, that hope persistently directs our thought. Hope Is never Introspective. It would have us In terpret the present as an opportu nity to be completed In the future. Hope would banish regrets and worry over past failures and dis close to us new possibilities which lie Just beyond. We are admonished to live one day at a time. “Take no anxious thought for tomorrow. Sufficient c * m MYSTERY WARNING Representative Tilman B. Parks of Arkansas, arguing in' the house against effort? to reduce the appro priation for the War department, warned that a mysterious condition exists on one of America's coasts, asserting that tbe situation was so. Harming that congress could not be advised about It publicly. unto the day Is the evil thereof.” True, but silch admonition does not mean that we should disregard the future. For, there Is a Tomorrow. As the sunlight dispels the dark ness of the night, just so sure are we that “new chances, one more chance” may come to us In the “to morrow.” In Browning’s poem, “Plppa Passes.” Plppa had one day In which to sing her songs. It was her annual holiday. Little did she dream the night before that the morning would usher Into her life the happiest of all ber days. “Where fore repine with her to lead me, O day of mine.” Our dreams and am bitions demand a “tomorrow.” Our clearest thinking is done In the morning and not at the close of the day when we are fatigued. It takes a tomorrow to continue the tasks of today. Great living la motivated by an unswerving hope In tomorrow. Be cause there Is a tomorrow, we can “Greet the unseen with a cheer.” "Out of tbe yesterdays many and great, we borrow strength for to day and tomorrow,” but It Is hope In the tomorrow that makes us un derstand and- evaluate the past. When we are discouraged and our nerves are taut, our problems' may be much nearer solution by the set ting of tomorrow’s sun.

Cook’* Antnrctis .Exploration When Captain Cook explored Ant arctic regions he left Plymouth, England, July 13, 1772, sad re turned there July 28,1778. The voy age, reckoning from the Cape of Good Hope and j < GOOD cue of clothe* will make an inferior article compare fa vorably with a high grade garment that does not receive the same treatment fortunately the cleans ers’ charges are nothing compared with what they were a few years ago, so when ^dresses'and outside' garments have been brushed and cleaned, sponged and pressed at home until they need the sort o t rehnlshlng that establish* menti give when they dean clothes, the cost is not pro hibitive. How ever, spots can be removed and articles kept looking smart for a long time with good home care. The woman who pnts her garments o n coat hangers without laying them down first, when tak ing the dress or coat oft, will keep her clothes looking fresh and new mnch. longer than the wom an who tosses them to one side, though they may not lie long where they land. When clothes are not of the highest grades of textiles, they muss much quicker than do high grade materials. So Immediately hanging on coat hang ers of garments of the cheaper sort .is Important Be careful to have arms of the hangers fit under shoulders of garments, if not the iqaterlals will fall in the wrong lines. Such slap-dash care is Inef fectual. Pressing Frocks that need pressing often est are those of comparatively cheap materials, except In the case of linens that are not specially treated and non-crushable. Good ironing will do much to give an im pression of excellence. This Is cer tainly true of household linens. Iron them when they are well damp ened, and press until they arc dry, first on (he right and then on the wrong side with a finishing polish on the right side. It Is amusing what such ironing.can do to cheap-' er linens, and even cotton and Urn en mixtures. When these household linens are not well dampened, it have become too dry before Iron ing, they will not look smooth and fresh as they should,' whatever tboir grade. Stitchrry Terms Some of the words of stltchery are incongruous, being amuslqg or surprising. They may suggest a harshness that Is certainly foreign to the gentle task of needlecraft Whipping Is one of }bese last sort, but It is not so cruel sounding, as lashing although. In sewing, the significance Is more reminiscent of nautical lashing, than chastising, In that the stitches are put around a rolled material to bind It In place regularly. Then the thread Is .. -— . ... I drawn, the material la gathered, and the resemblance ceases. The word “whipping” is also used, as is stroking, when In whipped or plain gathers, the in dentations are accented and jiaita to keep their places by running the •-needle rdown - into the snogofeMs with a caressing little whip or strok* Fine gathers should be. whipped thus. The rolled edges of handker chiefs are whipped when they are overcast; usually in a contrasting color for decoration as well as se curity. Raw edges of textiles are overcast, but the material Is not rolled. Piping and Cording Piping has nothing-to do with a piper nor with plumbing, although a certain suggestion of a tubular pipe does pertain when fine cord Is used as a filler for the narrow bias band Inserted between edges of seam* Strictly speaking, the cord Is requisite to piping, but when omitted the name remains, and when the covered cord Is used, the term corded piping, or cording Is frequently used. The correet eway to put in piping is to cut a narrow bias strip of the same material or contrasting in color, or different In both kind and color. This strip must be wide enough to fold over the cord cen tered In It, and allow lapping of one-fourth to three-eighths of an inch on each sld* Tack the cord In place with running stltche* Lay covered cord between two right side pieces of goods with all edges together.
