THE BOLSHEVIKI AT GENOA. When Chitcherin, bolshevik delegate, attempts to have the Genoa economic conference sidetrack its main program for a problem of his own injection on the opening day, he does not use ordinary good sense, to say the least. Russia, or, rather, the bolshevik regime in Russia, which represents only a small minority of the Russian people, is without honor. The bolsheviki cast honor to the winds as a part of their policy. Chitcherin should have the good taste to recognize, at least, that he is present at the conference at all only through a special concession of the other participants. Preliminary to anything else, there must be a demonstration of good faith all around. Without that nothing can be accomplished. It will be more difficult for the Russians then for others to convince the conferees and the peoples they represent that the soviet is worthy of trust in degree. It would be unreasonable to expect the Russians to agree to every suggestion put forward by England. France or others without due consideration of the consequences to Russia. Nominally the conferees are on an equality. But there can be no actual equality and no genuine trust reposed in the Muscovites until the latter have by deeds removed grounds for doubt of their intentions. It is up to them to recover a degree of national honor through a course of honorable conduct. Guarantees will be expected of them. It behooves Mr. Chitcherin, then, to move slowly. Peace-loving peoples will be disappointed if disarmament of European states dies not come up for discussion before the Genoa conference ends. But the foundations for disarmament must be laid first. Fear of Russia must be removed. The removal can be accomplished inly by the Russians. As they make possible common faith in their honorable intentions they will pave the way for disarmament.

THE ALL-HOME TEAM. As the crack of the bat is heard again in the land and the small town teams get busy with real games before the big leaguers are through with their training and tuning and priming, there is more hope for the country. Baseball is wholesome--- in the playing of it and in the enthusiastic interest in it by the "fans" if the game is clean. If Germany had been as enthusiastic about baseball as a national sport as she was about that militaristic business, it is likely the World War would never have been. Fellows cannot fight and play ball at the same time; and if there is fighting and ball playing to be done, the fighting can wait, according to the American notion. Many nearby towns are outspoken for allhome teams---teams in the town clubs, in the city leagues, in the sectional associations on which every player is a bonafide resident of the

town whose initials his uniform bears. It's the clean college athletics dea projected into the amateur games of the towns, intraurban and interurban. Professionals are to be barred and "ringers" scorned; the team is to be home made team, an all-home, all-home-made team. This is a healthy and wholesome sign. The game will go on its merits and the good from the playing will be genuine. Good players will be developed, many of them, many more of them, when the hired professional is eliminated. And there's the heart of the good in the national game after all : the development of "good" players, of square men.

WOMEN IN COURT. In New York the other day a woman was acquitted of all blame for killing, a man with whom she had lived and who had left her and refused to return to her. In New York the other day, a girl, a young girl, was found guilty and was given an indeterminate sentence of from three to twenty years because she did not tell the truth in the trial of her sweetheart, the father of her child that is yet to be born, when he was facing the court for killing another man. In New York a woman ,so it would seem, may kill a man and go free; but if she does not tell the truth, if she lies to protect the man who is more to her than any other man in the world, she must go to prison for at least three years. The judge in the first case said to the jury: "You have performed a great duty." The judge in the second case said: "I want to compliment you on your verdict, which is a

courageous and just one. Few juries in this .

country have courage to bring in a verdict of guilty against a woman." The truth may be that the greater the crime the less likelihood of punishing the woman in the case; and the smaller the crime the more likely is the guilty woman to suffer. It is difficult to convict a woman of murder; but it does not seem to be so hard to convict her of perjury.

CUPID HAS PLENTY OF ASSISTANCE PICKING BRIDE FOR BRITISH PRINCE

Upper left. Lady Rachel Cavendish; right, Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon; lower left. Lady Mary Thynne; right. Lady Doris Gordon-Lennox. Cupid has plenty of assistance in selecting the next queen of England, in other words, the bride for the Prince of Wales. Members of parliament have forgotten the Genoa conference and other problems of state temporarily to act as advisors to little Dan. They are considering the claims of each candidate.

MANDATES COME HIGH. In trying to show that no country need remain outside the League of Nations on the score of expense, the secretary general of the organization recently presented figures to prove that the assessments were not burdensome. Winston Churchill, British secretary for the colonies, has, however, shed some light on the cost of mandates, the real item of expense for nations connected with the discredited organization. The mandate for Mesopotamia and Palestine has cost Britain $1,500,000 to date, he told the house of commons. That the United States should assume the mandate for Armenia was for a time the hope of the allies. This government has no direct interests in that region, and in any event would not undertake such a mission for financial gain. The real reason for refusing this and other proposed mandates was not the expense, although there would seem to be no legitimate call for American governmental aid in the matter. America kept out of the League of Nations and the whole mandate business because it was contrary to its wise traditional policy. One does not need to be especially cynical to believe that no European power is going to expend millions in the administration of a mandate without getting most or all of the money back in some way or other. If the guardianship is for the common benefit of all, why should the cost be borne by a single nation? Great Britain also has a political interest that America has not in the peservaticn of peace and order in Mesopotamia and Palestine. This country is fortunate to be out of the whole business..

Wixzizwyard sounds like on of those new radio stations, but he is not. He is a prince from Africa who is in America for his health. He is of Challougrlcziliczisc. a royal house of Ethiopia. In a speech before a physical torture class at the health resort, he said voung men in his country are not allowed to marry until they were twenty-six and own their own home. In this country young men marry as soon as they roll their own cigarets. He -also said young women are not allowed to marry until they are accomplished housekeepers. We can only imagine what would happen to the well-known institution of marriage here in America if a young man who owned his own home started out to find a young: woman who was an expert housekeeper, end if all the young women who are expert housekeepers waited until they found young men who own their own homes.

A Revelation Number 1 in a series of statements by the Illinois Bell Telephone Company There are many surprising facts and conditions affecting the Illinois Bell Telephone Company's Hammond, Indiana, property, and its officers believe the subscribers and patrons of the Company should know these conditions and facts. It is our duty to present them to you and we intend to do this through a series of messages, of which this is the first. What we have to say may be said in simple language, and we are going to present these facts the way we see them which is the same way you and every other telephone subscriber would see them if you were in our position..

To the vast majority of people, a telephone system means merely the telephone instrument on the desk, table or wall in home,. office or shop. We're at the other end of -that telephone line-and are in the midst of the amazing thing YOU don't see. If you could just see it, you would marvel at the complexity and extent of the machinery and equipment that come into action when you take the receiver-off the hook of your telephone. You would marvel at the intricate and vast organization of mechanical and human factors required in meeting PRESENT telephone needs.

You would be amazed at the cost, as well as at the extent, of the necessary equipment. You would be astonished at the cost of maintaining and operating it day after day, in perfect condition. You would be surprised to know that it is the one business in which the proportionate COST of doing business INCREASES with volume of business, instead of DE-CREASING. It has been our duty as the management to familiarize ourselves with all of these facts and conditions. You, too, should know them, because telephone service is a part of your daily life in your home or at your office. We are going . to give you the facts as we know them.

What does telephone service mean to you? What would you do without a telephone? Ask yourself that, every time you use one. Is there anything else that is so fundamental in your business and social life, for which so little is paid? ' Did you ever stop to think, in connection with telephone service, how MUCH the subscribers get, and how LITTLE they pay for service so VITAL? Illinois Bell Telephone Co.
