"I Pen Y ears After: What Is the Gain to the W orld From the World War? From Symposium in American Legion Weekly. GEN. JOHN J. PERSHING—WhiIe we are probably too close to the war definitely to judge of its general benefits to mankind, yet the victory did result in preventing domination by autocracy, with all its disastrous effects u|>od civilisation, and the evidence is clear that the free peoples of the world will unite in resisting such dominaming domination. Sir Arthur W. Currie, commander in chief of the Canadian expeditionary forces—We gained a truer appreciation and a better realization of wars unspeakable waste, its dreadful hardships, its cruel slaughter, and its aftermath of loneliness, sorrow, and broken hearts. We now know that as a means of solving the world’s problems and removing international discord war is a delusion and a lie. American soldier No. 1,000,000, who served in the ranks throughout the war and is now a staff sergeant—Although we cannot ciaim that as a g 1 result of the World war the world has been made “safe for democracy,” ? it is apparent that the American principle that “governments derive their ® just powers from the consent of the governed” has been, for the first time, impressed upon European minds. x Sir Phillip Gibbs. British war correspondent—The only gain was the, inspiration that conies from the supreme vaior of youth and its ready sacrifice for ideals higher than self-interest. Maximilian Harden, German editor and publicist—The certainty that war has lost its last glowing chann of romantic chivalry of knighthood and has heroine an endless war of industrial masses of matter and physical and chemical devils’ work. Samuel Gompera, president of the American Federation of Labor— The world gamed a freedom from the menace of organized militarist imperialism without which all peoples sooner or later wo’ ld have been enchained. Jane Addams—l. A revelation of what modern war is. when systematic propaganda arouses world-wide hate and when the latest methods of industrial efficiency achieve the maximum of slaughter and destruOb tion. 2. Among the living a growing determination to abolish war for the sake of those who gave their lives to end it John Maynard, English economist and author of “Economic ConseJ quences of the Peace”—l don’t know. “It Is Not Literature, but It Is the Seed of 9 Literature to Be” By CLEMENCE DANE, in International Book Review.

It is easy to sneer at these Wild West writers, but I am not sure that their stuff isn’t in some sense literature already. They have, at any rate, some of the qualities that belong to the best literature. To begin with, they are amazingly direct. They take up their pen and tell the story just as it flashed fresh-minted from their imagination. They begin at the beginning, go on until they get to and then they stop. Their language is distinctly unusual; they, so to speak, “slang along” in the first words that come handy; they are not writing, they are telling a story, a story of Homeric “he-men” who ride, shoot, wrestle and die in every conceivable fashion against a background of rustlers, cattle kings, Canadian trappers, fanners, gamblers and bootleggers. These Wild West, eaith-to-earth tales are quite obviously based in intention on real happenings of today, yesterday, and the day before, retold j at second or third hand and beglamoured by the sort of primitive romance | that appeals to the average man. The hero wins out because he is big and strong. The villain loses because he is strong and bad. The women are shadows, rewards of valor, no more, and are generally drawn with tip-toe attempts at “refined” writing. Regarded as literature, it is as negligible and awe-inspiring as a newborn child. It is not literature, but it is the seed of a literature to be. Thought of God as “Dispensing an Earthquake” Is Not Christian e By DR. J. M. WILSON, Canon Worcester (Eng.) CathedraL|

The prevailing thought is still that we must look for Him in “signs from heaven,” some interference with physical laws. “If there is a God in heaven such as we were taught about, He could interfere "to prevent the awful evils in the world.” That is the natural conclusion from the conception, which we now implant in our schools, of a preChristian God, apart from men, ruling the world of man. If He is not that, men ask, “What is He?” He is regarded as willing and causing all that happens. That is more than we are entitled to say. The mystery of God is not so simply solved. A few months ago, when Tokyo was destroyed by an earthquake, a leading newspaper, and even a bishop, spoke of it as “a dispensation of Providence.” Is it so? Such a thought of God as “dispensing an earthquake” is neither Christian nor philosophical ; but a primitive and mistaken guess. , . . Nothing less is needed ultimately than a revision of presentation of the Christian revelation of God Reed from some of the integuments and associations and quari-logical inferences it has carried with it from pre-Christian days, or acquired from non-Chnstian sources in its passage through the darker Christian centuries. ... • * Here Is What the Public Really Pays Money to See in the Movies By MISS AGNES SMITH, in Picture Play Magazine.

Here, all kidding and talk of art aside, is what the public really pays money to see: Mother love, cabaret scenes, lively fighting, swell clothes, eute kids’(also dogs and cats), sex stuff, “Hearts and Flowers” love stories, thrills and melodrama (if well done), orgies and other glimpses of high life, wxnetr\tuff, especially if about married life among the rich; dappers and jazz and old home stuff. Kids, of course, are only for the delight of sentimentalists. But in the dark of the theaters there are more sentimentalists than we suspect. Society stuff has the same sort of appeal.' It is only human nature to gloat over the sins of those who have too much money to spend. We like to mingle envy and disapproval. To learn that the rich have troubles and failings fills us with a sense of delight. . If you will look ever the list of box-office points you will find that an appeal to the intellect i» conspicuously lacking. There is no intellectual appeal in pictures. A picture may be intelligently produced and it may be made by intelligent men. But in thedast analysis it cannot be considered an intellectual art. If this is a fault, at least the motion picture errs in distinguished company with music, painting and sculpture, all of which arte appeal to our primitive sentiments and to oar innate sense of beauty. Dr. C. H. Thompson, University of Illinois.—The most bitter opponents of college education as a preparation for business come from men «bo have accidentally had wealth and success thrust upon them. Strangely enough, however, many of them employ college men in the most responsible positions in their planta and their own sons are college graduates. Employers themselves, generally speaking, are veering around in their attitade toward college men. “■■ ■ ■ ■ - Mrs. Dudley Field Malone.—l believe in people appearing at their best in season and out. If that is vamping, make the most of it. Personality counts for a tremendous lot in this world.

Just M a LittW n ' c z -' *'F*"*' EASILY UNDERSTOOD After the amateur theatrical, the leading man was receiving congratulations from a friend. “How did you enjoy the show?*’ b« asked. “It was simply great.’’ was thd enthusiastic reply. “Why, the way yoq acted Hamlet, anybody could see why Ophelia went crazy and drowned her seif.”—Banta Barbara News. A Qualification Matsie—When Tom proposed to m| three years ago I refused him, and b< I said it would lie the death of him. v i Kittie—Well, that’s not so. for proposed to me last night and I act cepted hirn. "He must have meant a llvini death.” WHEN SHE LISTENS Hubby—You never listen to a’wort 1 8a y. Wifey—l do so. You talk tn youi sleep a lot, and I listen for ever] word.

Better When /t** in Yoa T -ike soup,“ Said Mister Witt. “But 1 don't Ilka To be in It” In the Old Days Blinks—l often was entertained with pictures long before thl movies came along. Jinks —Yes. L too, often spent ar evening with a girl who would enter tain me with the old family album. 1 A Giant in Distress ■ i “Great guns. How tall you're grow. Ing. Simpkins.” “Yes, it’s awful. Every time I look down my front 1 get dizzy.” Test His Sanity Lawyer—Yes. I’ve drawn up an agreement between you and your husband which*l think is fair to bulb par. ties. The Lady—To both parties! What do you think I engaged you for as my lawyer? Easily Satisfied Now “But, madam, a woman of your age ean’t expect to grow younger!” “I’m not asking that, doctor. All I want you to do is to keep me growing older a little longer.”

Mental Arithmetic The Large Lady—Dear me. ’lds weighing machine only weighs to 2UO pounds. What shall I do. Henry? Her Husband —Get on twice and add up the figures. IT WAS Woodpecker—Wbut Uie heck kind of a pole is this anyway? It must M that iron wood I’ve heard about. Turned to Butter The dairymaid pensively milked tha goatAnd. pouting »he~ paused to mutter: "I wish you brute, you'd turn to mlik!” And the animal turned to butter.

TTiat /s Quite Natural Salesman—Madam. you will sink nearly out of sight in the luxurloua cushions In this new car. Lady (decisively)—No; when 1 ride tn a new car 1 want to be plainly via ible. —London Tit-Bits. One Yard Rast us was sporting proudly a new shirt when a friend asked: “Boy. bow many yards does it take for a shirt like thatr Rastus replied: “Say, man. Ah got three shirts like this outa one yard last nLjbc’’—Everybody’s. Reciprocity Howell —1 'am willing to sp-nd money if the other fellow does. Powell—ln other words, your money talks, but waits until it is spoken to. Between Girls Ann—You should have seen how terribly foolish he looked when he proposed to me. Maud—No wonder, when you con-, rider the terribly foolish thing he was doing. Quite True “Now, then. Passamaquoddy. what’s a dead letter?" “Gons, Trimalchfo. that be one that you give to your roommate to mail.’’— Brown Jug.

Will the love that you're so rich In Build a fire tn the kitchen. And the little god of love turn the spit? SABBATH-DAY MEALS The average family expects food a bit nicer and more out of the ordinary on the Sabbath. With the

overworked mother this is often an added burden. in many homes the children are taught to be thankful and as Saturday is usually a free day for the school-age child, part of the time may be profitably used in helping about the house. Vegetables may

be prepared reifily for cooking the day before, dessert made and salads ready for mixing. When a roast is to be served It Is rooked on Saturday and reheated for the Sunday dinner, saving that extra care. .Mother needs a rest day as well as any menrfier of the family. A nice custom in some homes Is to allow the father and boys, if any. to prepare the Sunday supper With in gradients at hand they may make r he things they like and It is usually a pleasure they look forward to. Os course they are not as careful at first about dishes and “messing up” the kitchen, but it will not he long betore they will learn just how to do things. What a comfort ill is to know that the men and boys ih the family are .•apable of prepariiig a wholes-mie meal when the emergency comes ft Is worth much to them and to these who need to be served Gelatin desserts and those of Jello
