L. A. WOOD, M. D.. AND HIS PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL DEBATING SOCIETY. Rome of tho comment of Dr. Leonard A. Wood on Trhat wouM a proper rrconstrurtion r.f the Iasju of Xatiora covenant, is ko fciccpifirant of the time killing proc's of th slioo' of Ttolitirs whlrh he irf erihes as the panacea for everything iiurrnal incl external tli.it nffnes w. that inflrod, wo wondrr that the "oltl uard" docs not golMp him up, ensure hlrn of the leadership to which ho aspires, nnd put an nd risht now to all the r-ORHihilitifs r, a convention controversy. His implication exactly what would ho left of the h-au covenant under the IjOdge reservation that the supreme council should eliminated, and the activities of the league ?.- circumscribed as to make of it a mere international debating club, without adjacent powers of exerution, is so republicancsnue that to doubt that he m'-ant it would be to he skeptical without excuse. TaKe the record of the 06th congress, for instance, and the special sinn that preceded it; a debating p.opiety, yes. with lots of hot a!r. and no accomplishments, that i the record. We desire to call attention of American vorkinpnvn ty that phase of th doctor's prescription. e.-p cially. emphasizing tho probability that it Is a r--.il republican ideal. Here at a tlm- when th- peop.o .f tho country are bein? urRfd to settle down to work. nnd much belnpr said of an honest day's servie". it Is well that worklngmen take notice of this timekilling confrrp??. which. Instead of beinsr one of the mögt notorious slackers of tb1 country, should st an example In attention to business. It lias bei-n pointed out that when that body ulu to bf' workin OTrtim in the Interest of reconstruction, s many of the members are absent from their io.ts that it frpfjucntly l.s dithcult to obtain (Unnims. Nearly one-half of the mrnbers of tlie senate and one-third of the house are declared to he away now. devoting themselves to their political fences. Cut with their pay soin? on. this directing attention to th inconsistency in demanding "an honest day'R work for an honest day's p-'" on the part of others. Tho 65th congress, however, excels, in one thine; In talk. Its special session produced approximately 14,000.000 words, and, while many of the members are absent, the regular session is maintaining the "hot air" record. In the past week the "dignined" senate, with half its members absent, beat the house, supposed to he especially addicted to loquaciousness, by something like SO, COO words. It put an asrgreate of 300.000 words into the Congressional Record, a.s against 272,000 put in by members of the house. "What was the result? Each branch has tho passage of but one measure of importance to its credit. The senate put through the army reorganization bill, and the house the railroad deficiency measure. Contra t this record with the feverish demand of 13 months ago. mad"1 by republican leaders that a session bo called so that conpre. could immediately take up its work for reconstruction. With little else than words, words, words following, however, the 6btH congress has proved more a promoter of unrest than a stabiliser, bu still Pr. Wood opin-.s that the extension of that sort of thing into our international affairs, confining our aetivities to talk, and no execution, would be good. A league of Nations. Just for a debating club, eh! Wouldn't it be nie? Put a .tor.- to war by the gab route. Wo think we understand now why the doctor was so anxious to nrsume direction of the A. E. F.. nnd why hts party was so peeked when Wilson went to FVance. " An oratorical Job was wanted for a g. o. p. yrind-Jammer.

VOTE AT THE PRIMARY. Advocacy of good itizftnship. whii h includes, much as anything, nppreciation of the right of franchi und the disposition to exercis it. prompts u to arain urge that every voter should vote at th coming primary. Tride in your country, your state, your county, and a concern for your home and ynurflf. and finally, pride in your political party. If yen hse onr. d:-tatfs that you do your best to get th Vest r.ps-ibb -andidates on j our party ticket. W dwelt upon thH matter Sunday, but it wi',1 bear repetition. We appreciate ;li.it there are those who do not '.ike tho primary- It isn't as efficient as it is iilc.t!. The rtason is the lack of public interest in them, and that is the only reason. The pur;' ose of the primary was to take the nomination of party tickets otit of the hand of the bofs, who abused their power under the old con entiop system, and place It in the hands of the people. The people, sad to ay, have in too many !rstance,' by mere lethargy, lack of interest, lnztn.-? nesrative citizenship. abused th-ir powers with evrM worse effect sometimes than ihe bosse? e--r viivi. It will take ro cr'-at amount cf arv man's t::no i- rat his bsllo: pt lb jrinarv !f j ou at? hi . mrican c!t'.?:i. rat'v or t; it waü.-ed. a:d hae livrd in Iruiiar.it h.x moiill,. ;i 1 i n iur pr 4 i n t 20 c!a x. ou r.t:i oe. 11 S"tt.t!ton i -1 1 t v.ecvssary.

If you are entit'fd to vota the machine will b' st far thi pa'fy that you announce and the right to vote for r. -d '.'-.ten on that tuket Ls yours but you can vot f"ir the canditl ies on you" ticket only. You wouldn't TTpect under a convention system to go into the convention of rn opposition party to nominate its ticket. The prirnary is a convention system with every man his own delegate. It would be a mo! splendid compliment to South lUnd if the vote at the primary would be as bi as tho one that will b eat at th" election nxt fall. Talk about advertising a city; abiut "South IJend Worbl Famed!" Such a report, such a fact, wou'd make South Pend famous throughout the leng h and breadth of the land: famous for its citizenship and their interest In public affairs. We dare say it would bring pilgrimage to our city to s'e what manner of men we are. We would be rrorth seeing. A rfop!e thus concerned in public affairs; weli. it would never result in another such city administiation as we have, or such a state administration a? we have or repudiation of a national administration sueh as we have. We would have a record, well made, that would astound all the rest of mankind. Why not try for some suh record, and try it now; anyhow, you do your share and if the other fellow doesn't, it will be to his discredit. Let us try it out as they used to say at rhe barn-raisings.: "Now together! Everybody! He-haw-he!"

MACHINES FOR THE HARD WORK. The giving that "necessity is the moilicr of invention"' :is nvpr truer than it is today. Heretotore the United States has depended upon Europe for it.- supply of unskilled labor to do the hard manual work connected with mining, coke-making, ditch-digging, railroad grading and track-laying, and to some extent farming. The first year in which more than 1.000,000 immigrants were admitted was in 1003. when 1.026.499 arrived. In 1913 and 1914. the .two year? immediately preceding the war, a total of 2.4 1 6. ?. 7 2 arrived. The total for 1113. 1916 and 1917 amounted to only 920.929. Not only has the supply of unskilled foreign labor fallen much below the average during the last five years, but there have been within this period two developments which have absorbed the domestic supi.ly of both skilled and unskilled labor into virtually new fields. One of these is connected with tho automobile industry .:nd the other the moving picture husines.-. The romldded ffeet has been an unprecedented shortage in the supply of labor for what economists classify as essential activities. Here i where invention is stepping in to relieve the pressing no essities of the public. An advertisement recently appeared in a New York newspaper in which a manufacturing concern claims to have now under construction machines which, if the lairas can be made good, will eventually solve the problem of labor scarcity. For example, we are told of one machine which will weigh, fill with the specified product, wrap and label 15,000 boxes a tiny: machines that will assemble and wrap candles, rolling them into packages a, the rato of 25,000 a day; others that will automatically remove a cover from a box. place a product therein, place the rover back. label the cover of the box. fold a circular, place the same around the box and fasten the container .securely. Many even more marvelous inventions are reported ready to take the place of human bands and do the work more perfectly and In greater volume, and all without a glance at the clock r a stop to powder its nose or rearrange its back hair.

SATISFACTIONS FROM FRANCE. One thing you can say for the reviving export business of France with the United States, it is not wasteful of cargo space. Another thing, we are not draining the land of our sister republic of commodities she needs to sustain herself. What she is doing to use is another matter. One gathers, however, that thre will be no dearth of the raw materials of the pawn-broking business in that day when thriftless Americans have found the bottoms of their now phletoric purses. In 1918 goods declared for shipment to the United States at the Paris consulate general were valued at J2S.243.9S9; in 1919 they were valued at $10",440. GST, while for the whole of FVance shipments to the United States were in 1 9 1 S to the valuo of $55.6SS,490, as against 5163,736,332 last year. Details for only the Paris declarations are available, but they show that while during1 the war year covered only 31 per cent of the exports to use wrre of La ubles and luxuries, in 1919 this class of goods comprised 41 per cent of our takings. Obviously, we are going to cm a dash while we can. liut there is a gleam of satisfaction for the r.r?ct ical-minded. In some directions we are striving to become self-sustaining. Though In 1918 we imrtrted from France, through Paris, cigaret pipers t the value of $3,672.7S9. we so far diverted ourselves of the foreign yok1 In 1919 that imports of this part of the makin's fell to J2,043,2SC.

OLD CfjOTIIKS WEEK. Time was. when a coat that admitted the breeze, "When winter blew bitterly chilly. And a peek-a-boo shoe, with a toe leaking through, "Were the badge of the Wandering Willie. Whenever you saw on the comedy stage J man with a countenance glum, And utterly shy of a collar or tie. You knew him forthwith for a bum. The water dog, alert for a chance to display His zeal for a punitive quarrel. Would leap on the lad that was shabbily clad With a meaning and menacing snarl. He judged of a man by the clothes that he wore. Increasing, with righteous delight The fluttering rags on the persons of vags. Ani mostly his judgment was right. But now when a man with a rimless straw hat Aslant on an unbarbered egg. A shirt that reveals many traces of meals. And trousers that lack half a lep. Comes sauntering past, it is best to withhold Our taunts or derisions or jeers. For the chances are strong that he's one of the throng That's enlisted to fight profiteers. The butcher, the baker, the limousine maker. The grocer, the millionaire. Appear on parade every morning arrayed In the garments the 'bo used to wear. And Wandering William deprived or tho means Of keeping himself In apparel. Must stick in the shame of his leaf laden glade. Or borrow a box or a barrel. (Copyright, 1Ö20.)

X ATA Iii E. Xatalie is another holy name, coming from the Latin title of "Dies Xatalis," the birthday of our Lord. The word Natalie has furnished the title of the feast to all the Romance portions of Europe. France made the word Noel from it. meaning Christmas, and soon Xoel became a Christian name there. In Italy it appeared as Natale. Spain

land Portugal used the name Natal.

There Is a feast celebrated on the Stli of September by the GreeV church as the festival day of St. Natalia, the devoted wife who attended her husband, St. Adrian, ir his martyrdom. He is the same Adrian whose relics filled the Xeth

I erlands and whose name became

celebrated in the West where hi" wife Natalia was long neglected. The East, however, reversed the arrangment and Natalia is popular there, while her husband is forgoy

Natalia was one of the favored 1 Greek Christian names. Russia j adopted her and. adding the usua1 J consonants of its language, calls lu

J Xatalija. Nataschenka, and Xatas

cha. The first of the three nameis extremely popular there today, or was until the bolsheviki' came Into power and withdrew the attention of etymologists from the study of fem

inine names.

France is said to have secured Xatalie from Russia, though there

; Is record of a Natalie at Cambrai In

Whether American Natalies are representative of the English, or taken direct from France, i.i a matter of personal preferene . The pearl of purity is Natalie's talismanic gein. It promises good
