In a statement issued since the ad journmcnt of congress, Senator Lodge, lender of the senatorial opposition to the League of Nations constitution, says: "My desire is simply to have the constitution for a league proposed by the commission of the peace confer ence thoroughly and carefully discus tod and considered. If it will Dot bear discussion. It is not fit for adoption. If It is what it ought to be, discussion will only strengthen it." No reasonable person of any party enn very well disagree with this po sition. And It looks like a starting point for the getting together of all who In their hearts sincerely want tc see an effective League of Nations, and nro simply at odds over the rules and specifications for it. In slavting from this position, how ever, it is not likely that anybody will iri'l very far unions he aloplH the pros' cut draft of a constitution, with what ever ImporiVclioiiH it conininH, as the bnsie working plan. For It represents vvhnt Hie peace conference so far linn broil able to airroo on; and if it I" thrown away bodily, as Home exlrem isls would like to have it, there is lit tie possibility of Hie conference be ing able to frame any substitute, il would leave the conference in chaos. The thing to do, obviously, is to go nhout, not to kill the present consti tution, but to do whatever is necessary to make it satisfactory Htid workable Tlie critics must work in u constru;: tivo spirit, desiring not to make thii plan a failure, but to make it a ui--cess. And if everybody tackles tile job in tins way, the necessary ampin incuts will be made, and it will be a success. Evidence of the rapid development of school garden work in Chicago I found in the fact that two years ago there were 33.000 such gardens. Li.U year there were 87,000. This y-mr tlie garden extension depnrtment expects the number to reach 100,000. In Main it is proposed to make gar dening an integral part of the school work of every child, so important is it considered. School gardens have proved a r.ouree ot profit and enjoyment to the youth ful gardeners in every section where the work has bbeen seriously under taken. The children love working with the earth, planting seeds and cultivat ing flowers and vegetables. The school garden makes it possible for many a youngster with no back yard to have just as much fun and pride in a gar den ell his very own as the happior child who cultivates his little patch in a corner of dad's larger garden. Pe cause the gardens have been so gen erally successful in actually producing youth, and especially in a case where it is as richly deserved lis here it slloulifebc iven without stint. ..t ...

Talented Young People in Senior Class Play. 11 is u pleasure for The Observer to speak a word in prairo of the-work of tile members of the senior class of tin? hiyrh school, who gave the production of ''.Mr. Iloli" last night in their audi torium, and while congratulating them and Miss Naomi Williamson of the high school faculty, who directed the pirl'iirmaiice, to recommend to all l.a (tiande people who did not see the play last night that they do not fail to attend when it is given again this Special Inducement on Insurance. Fifty per cent of the discharged sol diers are not keeping up their month ly insurance payments, according to the reports given out. Many of them intend to keep, them up, no doubt, on1 fail to do so simply because they do r.ot know how to handle the premium payments. Hut whatever the reneon, the result is unfortunate. Continued neglect of this matter will result in the forfeiting of tho policies, leaving the ex-soldiers without their insurance protection, and making it necessary for them to pay much higher rates if they undertake later to buy policie Kodaks (INK DAY si-.itviri-: IN DEVELOPING AND PRINTING Ilrin'g or nf nil us your negatives before 9 in the morning and wo will have your pictures ready before 6 that evening.
