NO MORE WAR "pTIEATH. the final conqueror, is rapidly thinning the ranks D 0 f the boys in blup and the boys in gray. In a few more years the last of the Civil War veterans will have joined their comrades on “fame’s eternal camping ground.” Memorial day originated in hon<4 of the heroes who made the supreme sacrifice in the Civil W ar. It has taken on a widei significance, and includes our departed heroes of the SpanishAmeriean War and World War. Veterans will march this Memorial day. Bands will play, flags fly, flowers be strewn on graves. But if the dead could speak, they would rise in their millions and plead for an end to all wars. Peace is the soldiers goal. _ # • All honor to the heroic men of battle. But in honoring them, let all of ns remember that we are in the presence of tragedy. . Let Memorial day stimulate us to work for lasting peace, rather than the day spreading militaristic sentiment and false glorv that can only help perpetuate the Great Illusion war and all its misery. RIDDLE OF LIVING SHE Great Mystery is. not what becomes of us after we die. but why we live at all. Through all the centuries man has sought to penetrate the black curtain and learn what awaits him in the Hereafter. - By the law of cause and effect, the condition in the Hereafter depends on the life we live here. All religions of large followings agree that this life is preparatory to what follows after death. This is true from the Christian believing that heaven awaits him if he behaves and obeys the rules, to the Oriental who fears that if he doesn’t live properly on earth he will have to come back and do it all over again. Life must have a definite purpose. It cannot be aimless. Everything has a purpose—even the failing of a dead leaf, to fertilize the soil and send its strength back into the tree from which it came. Life is a journey between two unknown stations. Life is a training school—a spiritual gymnasium, in which obstacles and temptations are sent to develop onr spiritual strength. We come into this world with certain definite tasks to do. These tasks are in proportion to our natural abilities. The man who is destined to dig ditches all his life and who does the best he can, is as much’ a success as the man who leads the people politically or as head of giant industries. The thorough ditch digger, living as a good citizen, is a far greater stfbcess than the man who, given great power in life, abnses his power or fails to use it for the accomplishment of good. Success is not a thing that can be measured by any universal yardstick. It is relative to onr natural abilities and opportunities.

HOKUM mF YOU are within earshot of business leaders, you hear them discussing the business slump and their explanation of it usually includes a mumble about “those investigations in Washington.” Those investigations have had no more to do with it than if they had taken place in Timbuktu, on the edge of the Sahara desert. Business slipped because the public curtailed its buying. Stagnation in the retail field naturally backs up into wholesaling and manufacturing channels. The late spring started dullness in buying. BAGDAD yorTIE Americans seem to be able to handle hot potatoes with W fewer bums than any other people. It looks now as if American capital will operate the Bagdad Kailway. Germany’s determination to control that line was one of the main causes of the World War. And yet Americans could take charge with little or no friction. We appear to have a sort of destiny as an international referee. Gravbeard nations look to young America for advice. That’s unusual. .However, they don’t always take the advice. PROBABLY, as reported, President Cal never played a musical instrument, but he is up on band wagons. A SCIENTIST says he has discovered a quartz that causes light to turn corners, but the average bootlegger has quarts that cause toes to turn up. BULGARIA now talks of abolishing its throne. If this sort of thing continues there won’t be a pair of kings in all Europe to draw to. f IT MAY be true that women have driven the Police Gazette from the barber shops, hint they haven’t made “Good Housekeeping” any more popular there than it used to be. A GERMAN geologist says the American continent is drifting westward, which should please the excluded Japs. All the} will have to do is to wait at home until we get there, and then come aboard.

CAL’S FACE IS HIS LUCK IN ANALYSIS Psychologist Likes His Nose, Forehead, Eyes and Mouth, By DR. WILLIAM M. MARSTON, Washington Psychologist and Psycho-Analyst. iRESIDENT CALVIN COOLP IDGE, the political enigma, * need be no puzzle to a psychologist. His face and head are examples of perfect balance and proportion. Nothing is in excess, save possibly the chin point. Any man might be proud of his nose. From its beginning, slightly above the eyes, is a deep in-curve indicating quick and intelligent decision in sudden emergencies, it sweeps downward in a long, finished line of good proportions. Never could the owner of such a nose act in any but the most highly civilized way. Eyes Blend Perfectly The Coolidge eyes are neither appetitive nor sexual. If a dot were placed at the uppermost point of each socket, and a perpendicular dropped from this dot, the line thus made would divide each eye into two nearly equal triangles. One of these triangles would point out, the other in. If found alone, one would denote sex, and the othr appetite. But since both are equal, and both are found in each eye, we find that rarest of all human blends, appetite-sex, which is a thing by itself, and might be called “loving force.” Drawing lines straight down from the outer .corners of the presidential eyes to the mouth corners below, and then extending these lines to the chin, we rind that just the chin, and not the jaw 6, are included within the

ends of these lines. Again, the whole chin is included, not merely the tip. This simply gives us ajiother example of the perfect proportion of the Coolldge. face. Mouth Isn’t Big That mouth looks too big, when you measure it, you find it is made to order. % Moreover, a mere glance discloses the Cupid's bow of both upper and lov’or lips, indicating that Coolidge. if he talked, would talk of the best interests of people other than himself. But between the Cupid's bow and its string is a long, evenly curved line, rather thick, as seen in the front view picture. That line means that. Coolidge neither talks nor eats to excess. Finally, we must note tho Coolidge chin and forehead. They go together. If it were not for the forehead, the chin, with its too great forward thrust, would prove a weakness; in fact, as it is, it indicates a certain insistence upon form which an executive might well dispense with. To sum up: From Calvin Coolidge’s highly civilized nose we can expect perfect smoothness of action. From his forehead, we may expect that action to be minutely thought out and inflexibly carried to its designated conclusion. While the Coolidge eyes and mouth see and deal with what must be gotten and what must be given in a ratio that can only be designated as heavenly. Psychologically, “Cal’s” face is his luck. Slipped The inquisitive old lady was bending over the bed of a wounded soldier whose head was swathed with cotton and linen. “Were you wounded in the head, my boy?” she asked. “No’m,” replied a faint voice.

WALSH IS ON TEAPOT DOME JOB Senator at Work on Report Covering Federal Oil Scandal, Times Washington Bureau, 1322 \ew York Are. irrra ASHINGTON, May 30.—BelyHI fore Congress adjourns an I.T--J opportunity will be given it to adopt a. report denouncing the Fall-Denby-Roosevelt policy of disposing of the naval oil reserves. A report on this subject is now being drawn up by Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana. Just as Senator Walsh started work on the oil investigation many months before the public ever heard of Elks Hills or Teapot Dome, he is now continuing his work long after the story has slpiped off the front pages of the nation's newspapers. Senator Walsh calls the report he is preparing an ‘‘interin report.” A final report must await the decision of the courts on the authority of the Senate to question Harry Sinclair. To Speak Out Walsh is mincing no words. Crooks will be branded. Blackmailers will be identified. Bribery, theft, secret negotiations anrt conspiracy to defraud the Government, unearthed by the Senator, will be pointed out in unadorned terms. While Walsh works on his version of the investigation, which he hopes the Senate Public Lands Committee and the Senate itself will see fit to adopt, another Senator Is busy with'the whitewash brush. This is Senator Spencer, Republican, of Missouri, newest member of the oil committee, who is attempting to show that there was nothing j either crooked or unwise in the mak- | ing of the oil leases.

Watches Counsel Walsh is also keeping a close watch on the special Government oil counsel, appointed by the President to recover the Navy’s oil lands and to prosecute fraud cases against the conspirators. A few days ago former Senator Pomerene. one of the two oil prosecutors, was invited to talk over their work with Walsh in his office. Walsh was critical of the arguments Pomerene and Owen J.Roberts, his colleague, had made in court regarding the Senate’s right to question Sinclair. Wal.-h pointed out to Pomerene that the Government attorneys hal overlooked some of the most important arguments in support of their case, and insisted that they file an amended answer to the brief of Sinclair's attorney, Martin W. IJttleton. Somewhat perturbed. Pomerene accepted Walsh's suggestions.

Musicland Ir. reviewing the little feature. “MuAelant',” that has been running in this paper, it is astonishing to note the similarities in the careers of the great composer* and musicians. Almost without exception, these great men were horn of laboring people and, in several instances, were members of enormous families. Life was not smooth sailing for any of them, and the end of life was very sad for many of them. Several of them became blind or deaf and not a few were finished by melancholia. Mozart began composing at 4 years of age. Chopin played for an emperor at 10 years of age. Verdi conceived “Folstaff” in his 80th year. Verily, inspiration is not a hiatter of age, or heredity, or environment. Another Haydn may be the son of a cook, another Dvorak the son of a butcher, another Mascagni the son of a baker and another Bach, father of twenty-one children, and may be buried in a pauper's grave and live forever in milsic.

GROUNDING OF STEAMER EXPLAINED Committee Reveals Reason Why Leviathon Stuck in Mud, Times Washin'itnn Bureau, 122?. Sew York Ave. Tyl! ASHINGTON, May 30.—The "inside story” of the grounding of the Leviathan, world’s largest liner, has just been revealed to tho special House committee investigating the shipping board, by J, E. Sheedy, vice president of the Emergency I'L?* Corporation. Tho rev, lations disclose how failure of ofTioia’s to have turbines of the giant liner repaired cost the Government just $200,000 and caused the vessel tc be laid up from Dec. 20 to April 12. Sheedy said on two previous voyages the turbines had been damaged to such an extent that the backing power was seriously decreased. "In the analysis the lack of sufficient backing power was responsible for the accident." Sheedy testified, although he added that the pilot was partly responsible. Sheedy said that a number of the blades on the turbines had been stripped on Oct. 25, and that later a number more were damaged. He explained that the stripping did not interfere with the forward movement of the huge vessel, but did materially reduce the backing power and speed. Repr •sontativo Davis of Tennessee brought out the fact that Captain Hartley estimated -the backing powj er had been reduced to 50 per rent because of the accidents to the turbines. Some idea .of the mammoth vessel can be gained when Sheedy stated that It required twenty tugs to take her into Boston shipyards for repairs, in addition to the $200,000 paid for repairing damage to the craft ca.used directly by the accident, Sheedy testified that $280,000 additional was spent In putting the turbines back Into shape. One cause for consolation remains for the American people, who really

pay for the Leviathan's repairs, because she is a shipping board vessel, it is that, so far as the layup was concerned, the Government actually saved money on the deal. “When in commission, the Leviathan costs $20,000 a day to operate and as it was the winter season we could not possibly have taken in that much from passengers.” Sheedy told the committee. In fact, on the last eight voyages before the accident the liner actually lost $70,897, although only two of the months can be classed as offseason months. The ex;art results of the last eight voyages are as follows: First, $104,000 profit: second, $31,000 profit; third. $138,000 profit; fourth, $4,000 loss; fifth, $5,000 profit; sixth, $6,000 loss; seventh. $174,000 loss, and eighth, $164,000 loss.
