(The Holland Sentinel.) Just suppose England had begged America and the rest, of the world, as long ago as 1899, lo join with it in a court of international pence. Then suppose that in 1907 England had once more beared America and the world to join with them in such a venture, i Just suppose further that in i 1910, the year after the close of the World war, England had once more given the same invitation and that this time the court had actually been England refusing to enter the very court it had three times asked the world to join! To add insult to injury, just suppose that in the negotiations that followed during the next decade England had finally agreed that if the rest of the world would accept five reservations, it would at last join in. Suppose that the other nations of the world had finally bent backwards and had even accepted those reservations. Then suppose that the House of Lords, having the final say in the ratification; should still hold back. Supposing all this, what would we Americans say about England? We'd say England was i crazy; and we would not be unreasonable.

X'et that is exactly what America It suggested the World court in 1899, once more 1907, once more in 1919. Then the senate insisted on five reservations, which the" other nations finally accepted. The senate voted 76 to 17 as long ago as 27, 1926, to join the court if the five reservations accepted, but the final ratification is still pending. President Harding recommended ratification; so did President Coblidge, and so did President Hoover. Both the democratic and the republican parties stand pledged to the policy of America's joining the World court.

Such great jurists as Chief Justice Hughes, and Elihu Root have declared again and again that America's interests are fully protected. The five reservations give'us rights that are demanded by no other power. Yet the senate is hanging back. There are only two weeks left before this session of congress will come to an end. Is it reasonable to delay action any- longer? international honor is at stake.

If we want to get some slight conception of how other nations regard unfortunately with entire need only put another nation in our place and imagine what we would think of it. During the next two weeks the senate of the United States should take the final Step to which the republican party stands pledged, to which Hoover has committed his administration, and most important of all, to which the honor of the United States has been pledged by a formal vote of congress.

The circumstances nro ominously hinted the caretaker In Jus; 'Tworn't no accident," as Jimmie Hasweil and his Donald Wade, neighbor of the spinster, reach the scene. Previously Donald, learning of death threats against her, has sent her niece, Evelyn Blake, to London to ask the advice of Jimmie, young lawyer with a reputation as a clever sleuth. With Evelyn had come Lionel Duckworth, Jimmie's apt perception linked romantically with Evelyn. This attachment they admit, while revealing that the eccentric old woman, hating love and romance, barred tUeir own happiness. Jimmfe: recalls "his advice to Evelyn to let the police handle the case.

CHAPTER 3. DUTCH GARDEN. "Pleased to meet you, sir," he said. "Shall be glad to hear What you make of things." "Happy to help if you want me," answered Jimmie. "The news shocked me, as Miss Blake had consulted me about the letters." "And you said there was nothing for us to worry about," said the girl almost reproachfully.

"Hush, dear," said Duckworth gently. "The letters may have had nothing to do with it." "I am going the garden to Health Service William Brady, M. D. Physician and Author. OH, FOR NOTHING TO WEAR.

Clothes should be of loosely 1 woven material, as light as possible (in weight), white or light colored in summer, or hot climates, dark in winter or cold climates, to air, and not tight fitting. Loose coverings allow circulation of air and evaporation of moisture from the body. These essential points are given by Dr. Alfred B. Olsen of Battle Creek in an instructive contribution on the use of cold 'air baths and sun baths in the treatment of various diseases.

The points mentioned completely cover the requirements for hroad accent. "They setters, as they call 'em; more like devils to ma thinkin'. No but devils couldn't fall 1 theyselves.

So far this winter I have worried along without an overcoat but with my alphabetical armor on, the same as in summer! It is only fair, however, to add that so far this winter I haven't seen any ice or snow. But just the same I observe that nine out of 10 men of my age in this vicin- ly, and.he turned to the village constable, who was already familiar with the scene. The others followed silently, Jimmie and Round it ran a wall of stones. A grass border edged the pool in the center. At the nearer end were the stone steps.

"You mean," cried Donald, "that Miss Querdling sat in that favorite seat of hers and one of grinning satyr, poised lightly on his cloven feet with arms spread in invitation.

"It is not a cold blooded and cruel thing, seeking to exterminate man, but man's finest expression through which great forces have been revealed to him 'by the divine hand." So says Myron C. Taylor, chairman of the finance committee of the U. S. Steel corporation. Nothing wrong about the machine age and its capacity for enormous production to tho wants of mankind.

Two men were in front. One was in uniform, and the other bore the impress of the police ofl'icer of higher rank. Close behind came two girls and a third man. Jimmie recognized one of the girls as Evelyn Blake. The other he guessed must he her Marjorie.

The superintendent stood there taking in the scene. Then he pressed his hands against the shoulders of the remaining figure that seemed to smile malignantly at their ignorance.

"I was in the house at the time and when Marjorie told us what had happened we all came out. Major Gresham helped me to carry Miss Querdling into the house. The gardener and the chauffeur were here too." "There is a point that you might notice," said Jimmie, who had been kneeling beside the wooden seats. "The unbroken seat has never been moved, while the other one has been shifted six inches nearer the steps. The holes in the grass show where it used stand.

By moving it a little to the right, it became more directly under the figure." Tiie superintendent nodded, took measurements and directed that nothing be touched until ity sport overcoats much of the time, riot because they need warmth, I believe, but just because they are mere men, with women managers at home who make 'ein wear "em just to be on the safe side, you know. Dr. Leonard Hill, English authority on ventilation, climatol- ogy and hygiene, says "it is absurd to put on an overcoat when going for a walk. It is good to go out and be braced by feeling cold and so be impelled to take vigorous exercise." To that Dr. Olsen adds: "This may seem a hard saying for many who live in modern hot houses and have formed the habit of overclothing themselves.

The time to make the change is in the summer and early autumn." To that I would add: "Baloney. Unless you're a veritable old mollycoddle you may make the change whenever the notion strikes you, no matter what the weather or season." You see, Dr. Olsen still harbors a bit of whereas I am absolutely convinced that exposure to cold is never injurious to one's health, no matter how much discomfort one may suffer during such exposure. To all who think there is any sense or truth in the teachings of such authorities as these, I suggest the daily cold air bath as an excellent means of developing in your long-suffering skin some slight efficiency in the performance of those functions for which the skin was naturally designed. Or better twice "a day do a little dancing, light exercise, or just walking or trotting about somewhere in your skin, with open windows, so that the air will be as cold as the season affords.

Lengthen the duration of this exposure gradually from day to day. Ben Franklin, you remember, wrote for an hour or so every morning LEARNING MANNERS. By ALICE JUDSON PEALE, (Associated Press Staff Writer.) We are often so anxious to have our children appear well before, other that we cannot resist the temptation to teach them ingratiating responses and pretty little speeches. "Please," "Thank you," "Ex-1 cuse me" and "How do you are painfully taught to youngsters who are actually in tears of shyness over it. To a very little child these terms of expression have no meaning whatsoever, and if he learns to say them it is in parrot-like mimicry that bears no relation to real good manners.

Such manners must spring from a genuine appreciation of the feelings of others, which the child must be permitted to develop gradually as a result of his daily living. The child surrounded by, people who are genuinely courteous to each other, and to him, learns to use the forms of courtesy as soon as they acquire meaning in the course of his experience. I have seen three and four- year-olds scolded and shaken for not saying "Excuse me." A fine lesson in consideration for other people's feelings. Perhaps the best way to teach your child manners is never to insist on them, but to accept kindly intention in place of the form. Be sure that in your own dealings with him you do not neglect either the spirit of consideration or the forms of courtesy which you would have hint ".1.

Company manners, taught for show, apt to give way in the most humiliating fashion and at the most awkward moments.
